Chapter 4

Whilst everyone was sleeping, Banai was making his way to the den where his nest is to sleep, its on the opposite corner from where Simba, Nala, Cora and Mheetu are sleeping. Before Banai flew in the den, Rafiki pulled him a side and said "Banai I believe you are Simba's friend and helped him survive out here yes", Banai nodded, Rafiki then said "the great kings thank you, and now the one you helped has met his younger sibling, the love of his life and will soon reunite with his parents because you kept him alive, you are truly noble Banai", Banai chuckled and said "gee thanks, gosh im tired im heading to sleep now, we have to travel tomorrow good night Rafiki", Rafiki and Banai said good night and went to sleep.

The next morning Simba awoke and was smiling when he remembered, that's he's cuddled up with Nala, he licked her cheek to wake her, when Nala awoke and saw Simba she pressed their noses together, then said 'good morning to you to Simba', 'good morning', was his reply, they then both woke up Cora, Mheetu and Banai, the 5 then left the den and went to meet the army at the border of the jungle once they arrived, they all discussed the travel plan and what will happen when they arrive, the sun was starting to rise meaning if they set off now they'll arrive in the pride lands at around 11 AM (just a time reference so you know), then Simba, Nala, Cora, Mheetu, Banai, Rafiki and they entire army left to reclaim the pride lands from Scar.

They had been walking for 4 hours and were tired but did not give up as they were all determined to reclaim their homeland, after a few minutes Aminifu, the leader of the elephants spotted the border of the pride lands and alerted everyone, Simba was shocked to see the pride lands in this state, it was far from, the beautiful lush green pride lands he knew and loved it was a waste land. Then they all put the plan in action and broke into groups, each using the purple scented liquid in their respective areas of the border, Simba told Nala and Rafiki to look after Cora and Mheetu, Nala then said "Simba, please be careful, I love you", she kissed Simba and Simba kissed her back, they kissed for 2 minutes, when they stopped, Simba said "I love you too Nala and I will be careful", he gave her one last kiss and then left.

The plan worked, the hyenas were attracted to the scent, and the different locations caused them to split up into much more manageable numbers. Then Simba and the army killed every last one of them, except 5 which saw though it and sneaked past to where Nala and the cubs are. They heard hyenas laughing, Nala immediately stood protectively over cubs, and told them to leave, then they pounced, just before the 5 hyenas made contact a teenage lion, threw them to the ground and killed them all effortlessly, Nala then embraced Simba and said "thank you Simba you saved us again", of course was Simba's reply he then kissed Nala softly, and then Cora hugged Simba for saving them and so did Mheetu. Mohatu then appeared in the clouds and said all the hyenas are dead and just Scar and his followers remain.

Sarabi, Mufasa and all the lions that are still loyal to them including Sarafina and NI were walking through the pride lands wondering where the hyenas went, they all wondered why and walked near the border where Simba and the army killed the hyenas, Cora and Mheetu Immediately ran up to their parents and embraced them tightly, they were surprised that they were here but still were happy that they are back, then Nala came and hugged her parents, who also embraced her and told her how much they missed her and then Cora and Mheetu both said at the same time 'Simba is alive', everyone was shocked then Rafiki came and said "yes the prince is alive he fled for Scar tricked him into thinking he was responsible for Mufasa's death who was unconscious at the time, Simba fled to the jungle and was depressed due to the guilt he felt", Sarabi then said "my Simba is alive and he was depressed because he thought he was responsible and carried that burden", she said as both she and Mufasa let out some tears. Rafiki then said "yes but the prince has become strong, stronger than any male lion, he took down four fully grown make lions without a scratch to protect his friend Banai", at this moment Banai landed and bowed to Sarabi and Mufasa who greeted him, then Rafiki continued and said "he also protected Nala, Cora and Mheetu when 2 fully grown rouge males wanted Nala, he fought then off and brought them down with ease and he also saved Cora and Mheetu and climbed up a cliff with them on his back, the prince is strong and an inspiration but most of all he has returned with an army, he and his army have killed every hyena that was loyal to scar" Sarabi, Mufasa and the whole pride were surprised at what Simba can do then both Sarabi and Mufasa said at the same time where is my son. "Im right here", Simba said.

Everyone looked to the voice and saw a male teenage lion with gold fur and a red mane, he also had muscles that were much larger than those of a full grown make. Sarabi and Mufasa immediately ran to him and brought him into their arms for a tight hug, "oh my little Simba you've returned home to us, and what you have accomplished is extraordinary" said Sarabi "Weve missed you son so much", said Mufasa, Simba then hugged them even tighter and said I've missed you both so much and I love you so much", "we missed you too son", both parents said in unison, then the moment was ruined when an evil laugh was heard and Scar stepped in and said "well Simba looks like you survived, and you killed all my hyenas but your no match for me and my loyal followers, you filthy pile of elephant dung", at the moment the entire army came and surrounded them, which startled Scar, Aminifu the elephant leader then said "how dare you speak like that to Prince Simba, he is an inspiration, the fact that he raised himself, taught himself how to survive, how to hunt, trained everyday, to become stronger and a better fighter but most of all he is an inspiration for surviving the trauma you put him through, the guilt, constantly being plagued my nightmares, that type of depression can destroy a being, but Simba is strong and powered through, he brought us together and formed this army, so you should be ashamed of yourself, for what you've done", everyone was shocked at what Simba went through, "you pathetic excuse for a lion, you put my son through such trauma, your the pile of dung not Simba", Sarabi shouted.

Scar then lunged at Sarabi but before he hit Simba caught his paw and started crushing his wrist, Scar started screaming and crying and with tears in his eyes he said "Simba stop please how are you this strong, he's crushing my paw", he screamed whilst in pain, Simba only tightened his grip until a snap could be heard, and Scar's wrist broke, everyone was shocked that Simba has the strength to crush bone. He stood back looking terrified, Simba then smacked him so hard that he was sent flying into a rock. Zira and the other 6 loyal followers lunged at Simba and the entire pride watched in awe and Simba effortlessly brought down all 7, he then road and some hyenas who weren't loyal to scar said "prince Simba we will take this evil doers to the outlands, they don't deserve, the pride lands", Simba nodded and the hyenas bit their necks and killed them and dragged them to the outlands.

Mohatu then appeared and said "Prince Simba, we are all very proud of you, you raised yourself, taught yourself how to hunt how to fight how to become strong, yet you use your strength for good, you truly are astonishing, you defeated Scar and his followers as if they were nothing but air, that is truly remarkable, you are an incredible lion and we all thank you for freeing the pride lands, thank you." Simba then said "thank you great grandfather", Mohatu nodded then said "as a reward we are granting peace in the pride lands forever", then a yellow beam came down into Simba then spread across the pride lands and the grass, flowers trees, water everything was restored in mere seconds then Mohatu faded away.

Sarabi and Mufasa then embraced their son again and Mufasa said "my son is home", everyone cheered, that's when Nala came and ran to Simba and pulled him into a tight hug that Simba returned, "Simba you did it, Im so proud of you", Nala said, then Simba said whilst still hugging Nala "no we did it, Nala you helped me build the army, you found me, if it weren't for you I would still be in the jungle, so thank you Nala" they then shared a quick kiss forgetting everyone was watching, they started blushing then said "we were just uhh", Sarabi chuckled then said "does this mean that you two are together", They both nodded and Sarabi hugged her son again. Then Someone asked what now, Simba looked at his parents, smiled and said "I believe it's time for the true king and queen to rule this land once again", everyone nodded and went to pride rock, once there, Sarabi and Mufasa roared, the pride then roared and the animals cheered.
