Farran walked in a clearing laughing his little dark mind off. Until he came face to face with a young pretty face. The face belonged to a young pale tawny lioness with hazel eyes.

"What's so funny?"

Farran smirked, "None of your business, Kenna! Now get back to your post!"

The young lioness, who was reaching her teens growled at the greyish lion before strutting off. Farran was about to get a drink from a nearby pound when he heard a roar.

...

"Kiara..."

The light gold lioness slowly blinked her eyes opened and gasped.

"Kopa?"

The tawny lion nodded and nuzzled her. "Yeah me and your dad. Some of the others are taking care of the guards."

Kiara sat up and hugged Kopa as tears fell. "I though you never come."

"I promised I'll never let anything happen."

Kiara smiled and couldn't help the love pouring off of her for the prince in front of her.

"Let's get out of here!"

Kiara nodded and followed Kopa out to be stopped by a young pale tawny lioness.

Farran ran to where her heard the roar to be pounced on. He looked up to stare into a pair of pale grey eyes of a young whitish-peach lion.

"Kukuza!" The greyish lion growled.

Kukuza snarled before striking at the older male. Farran was dazed, there for leaving Kukuza the moment to finish the job. After taking a few deep breathes he got off the lion and looked to see the rescue group together with Kiara.

"Alright...let's get out of here!"

Everyone nodded and followed the prince out of the barren lands.

...

"Attack! Beat them! Get them!" Hakeem roared as he stood on a ledge.

But the creamy white lion didn't see Kula creep up on him. With a battle cry, the pale brown lioness pounced and knocked the power hunger lion off his perch.

Kula scratched and bit. Hakeem was in a daze as Kula took strikes at his eyes. The creamy white lion gave a loud painful roar, which made the two parties stop fighting.

Simba stopped fighting a light brown lion to look at his former lover beat the ememey leader to death. The prides watched in shock and fear as Kula beat the lion until he died.

Simba struck at the lion he was fighting, knocking him down for awhile. Before running over to Kula and pulled her into a hug.

"There, there. It's okay. It's over."

Kula cried into his red mane as she got blood on his golden fur. A roar ran through the air. Kula and Simba looked up and seen the young light brown lion Simba was fighting.

"My pride...my father is dead! We must retreat!"

The Outlanders roared before running off. Kuda glared at the king of the Pridelands and his ex-lover before snarling and following his pride.

Simba sighed before looking around at his members who was helping one another. Then he turned back to Kula.

"Think we see him again?"

Kula sighed, "Don't doubt it."

Kiara was ordered to go to sleep by none other than Kopa. She couldn't agure since she was dead beat tired. No long after she closed her eyes the young lioness felt some one nudging her. So she opened them one by one and smiled.

"Mother!"

Kula smiled as she hugged her daughter and tears fell from her dark green eyes. "My dear, daughter. I missed you."

Kiara smiled and hugged back as Kopa stood to the side with a smile. Simba noticed and sighed. This won't be a happy ending...again. Simba smiled lightly at the sight of Malka and Kovu reuniting with Kiara.

With a deep sigh the king turned and headed down to the savannah for one last patrol.
