A lot of drama and more to come. Enjoy!

King Simba sat at the peak of priderock. The golden king hadn't moved much since morning. Now the stars are out and the king is worried.

"You still up here?"

Simba didn't have to look back. He knew who it was.

"Yes, Kovu. I'm worried, something could of happened."

Kovu took a deep breath before speaking. "Well...I hope not...cause to tell the truth...I don't want to be king."

Simba looked from the savannah to his eldest. "You don't want to be king?"

The young pale brown lion shook his head, "No. Kopa would be a great king...like you."

Simba smiled lightly, "Thank you, son."

Kovu nuzzled his father who return it. "I got to go. The feature misses awaits."

Simba chuckled as Kovu made his way in the cave. Simba sighed before looking at the stars and slumping down to the stoned surface.

'Kopa, where are you?'

...

The sun had risen over the land and Simba hadn't made a move yet. Kula and Kalahari sat to the side with looks of concern and worry.

"I'm worried about him." Kula sighed.

The goldish-yellow lioness nodded as her pale green eyes was on the stressed king.

"I am too."

Kula sighed as Anastasia and Sarabi walked over to the two. Their eyes on the king as well.

Anastasia shook her head as she clicked her teeth.

"Sad. So sad. He's worrying for nothing."

"Hush, Anastasia." Sarabi warned. "Not know."

"Simba!"

The four lionesses looked to the bottom of the slope with Simba and seen Malka out of breath.

"Kopa's back and...he says Kiara's alive!"

...

Simba and the pride rushed down to the watering hole where their prince was. Even Nala and her followers went. When they got there they were surprised to see two hyena-wild dog like creatures.

"Kopa!" Simba smiled as he hugged his son.

Kopa pulled back, "I'm sorry for running away. But Kiara's alive and she needs our help."

Nala was tooken back. She thought she killed the brat.

"She's been kidnap by a lion who wants war." Kopa finished.

Nala laughed which made heads turn. "Kopa, dear we can't go around doing pitty missions."

Kopa stood to his full height, which was as tall as his father. Showing his authority, the tawny lion got in Nala's face and growled.

"We will save her! Like it or not!"

Nala looked from her son to Simba for some back up. But Simba sighed and nodded.

"Its at least I could do."

Nala shrunk back, he was talking about her. It's at least he could do since she attacked Kiara.

Simba turned back to his son. "Now, do you have a plan?"

As the sun went down the sky darken as thunder roared and lighting cracked across the sky. Rain poured down, like the heavens was watching a sad love story. Simba and his pride marched to the meeting place as Kopa stayed at priderock.

But the prince had other plans.

"Now. Loki said Hakeem will have the five lions that kidnapped her, be watching. So me, Kovu, Malka, Loki and Kukuza will go in. Songblaze, Rusher and Hasira, you three will be on watch." the Pridelands future king instructed.

The seven mention nodded before running off towards the outlands with Kopa in the lead.

...

Farran smiled at the scared figure of Kiara. The light golden lioness was most afraid of him. He was the largest and he always made her feel like he wanted something a mate would want.

"Oh...what would I love to do to you." Farran purred before licking the young female's cheek.

Kiara sobbed as the large greyish lion walked away laughing. Kiara put her paws over her head as tears fell and made puddles.

'King Ahdai and Queen Uru, please...please bring help.'

With another sobb, the light gold lioness cried herself to sleep.
