Kanu, Vitani, and the cubs made their way back to Pride Rock. An aging Simba was napping in the cave, breathing steadily.
Vitani gently tapped him with her paw and the aging king yawned as he awoke. "Vitani? What's going on? Who's this?"
"This is Kanu and his Pride is in trouble." Vitani explained
"In trouble?" Simba asked. "What do you mean?"
Kanu sighed. "An evil rogue has taken over my Pride...and I need help."
Simba froze for a moment before the memories came rushing back to him:
"Help! Somebody Anybody...help..."
"Run away Simba...Run away and never return"
He shivered slightly and Vitani frowned.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm...fine..." Simba sighed. He looked Kanu directly in the eyes. "Show me where your Pride is."
