CandyLuv99; I only used Haruka and Kalista because I planned on using the others for something else. You're absolutely right about Sherise, hopefully things turn out right.
Here's chapter seventy-two!
Prince Mwezi tried his best to protect himself but the gladiator plumbing hits after hits, was taking it's toll.
Away from the brutal assault, stood Kenna and Skye. The young females had fear in their eyes as they helplessly watched the nice male get beaten to death.
Skye shook her head before looking at the frozen younger gold pelted female. "Kenna! You got to do something!"
Kenna snapped out of her frozen state and looked at Skye. "Me? Why Me?"
Skye narrowed her eyes. "Because, I'm pregnant and you are the only one could possibly take on Flame!"
Kenna looked back at the attack and knew that Skye was right. No matter if she died, at least the stranger and Skye may live.
With a loud roar she mustered, Kenna leapt and tackled the giant of lion. Letting the dark red lion breathed and roar before blacking out.
Flame stood and snarled, drool dripping from his tan muzzle. "You're going to regret that, you little bitch."
Kenna gulped before she was tackled harshly to the ground. The young female knew she had to follow her training, and doing so she began to make the massive lion tired.
When Kenna had enough, she lunged violently at the huge lion, and the surprised Flame was knocked off his paws. While the dark red lion was caught by surprise, Kenna took advantage of the giant's stumble, and set upon him, biting and slashing.
But Flame was not through yet; with an angry roar, he brought his front paw down hard on the adolescent's back and sent Kenna skidding across the ground.
Kenna quickly stood and dodged Flame's lunge, then in one swift motion she clamped her jaw around one of Flame's front legs, her teeth breaking the thick bones as if they were thin twigs.
As Flame roared in pain and tried in desperation to shake the female off, Kenna began thrashing about, digging her claws into Flame's exposed chest.
When Kenna felt she couldn't keep up with the same attack, she let go and rolled away as Flame massive paw came flying down.
Kenna, somehow managed to dodge again, while also inflicting a deep cut along Flame's back. In a roar of pain, Flame came at her once more.
As Flame charged once more at Kenna, the gold female used one of Flame's own tricks against him. Kenna ducked. As Flame went over his opponents head, Kenna reached up, and caught him in the side, slammed him to the ground, and pinned him.
The force behind Kenna's blow was enough to render Flame unconscious.

Jesús paced anxiously at the border. The reddish-brown lion was about to question if they should go in when a roar, very familiar to the Pridelands grand Duke was heard.
Mwezi. He never heard that particular roar outside of training but knew very well that his brother came into trouble.
King Darius rushed forward with his guard and took care of the patrols while Jesús and Wasi dashed towards the sound of Mwezi's roar.
The two Pridelanders ran deep into enemy territory before following the scent of their missing pride-member.
The two males entered a secluded field and was shocked to see a gold furred adolescent standing over a unconscious body of massive dark red pelted lion.
Jesús pinned his ears and slowly approached when the gold adolescent turned her bared teeth on them. "Easy there. I came in peace. I won't harm you. Perhaps you can help me? I'm looking for my daughter."
The female slowly stopped growling. It actually reminded the reddish-brown lion of the story Simba shared about how he and his sister reunited in the oasis.
"Duke Jesús?" the adolescent crooked out.
Jesús nodded, even though he felt confused. "Yes. Who are you?"
"My name's Kenna and I believe I'm your daughter.."
Jesús' dark brown eyes widened before he quickly embraced the gold female. Before pulling away at a clearing of a throat. The father and daughter turned to see Wasi with a badly wounded Mwezi on his broad back.
"We need to get out of here. Now!"
Kenna nodded before looking at her...father She couldn't believe it but as she looked at him she saw her own dark brown eyes looking back at her. "He's right but can Skye come as well? She's pregnant and... it's not pleasant for a cub to be born here. I know all too well."
Jesús nodded. Kenna and Skye sighed in relief before following the males out of the field. Before helping them sneak pass Keres' pride and the rest of the guards that wasn't occupied at the border.
Once they were a good distance away, Jesús stopped causing everyone to stop and look at him.
"What are you doing!" Wasi sneered, not caring that it was his duke who has a higer rank next to the Queen and her mate. "We need to get out of here!"
Jesús understood but he couldn't leave. Not yet. "I have to make sure Darius makes it out alive. After all, he wouldn't be here if it's wasn't for me."
Darius shook his head and continued running towards the Pridelands with Skye and Kenna while Jesús turned back and headed for the last place he seen the dull beige lion.
~PP~
In the Pridelands, Zuri was waiting outside her and Minos' cave while her sons slept. Soon the orange lioness saw who she was waiting for.
"How did your meeting go?"
The brownish, black mane lion stopped and looked at his mate in shock. This was one lion he was hoping not to run into at moment. "Zuri, what are you doing here? I thought you were spending the day with your sisters?"
"They can do well without me. I rather support my mate." Zuri grinned which surprised Minos.
Minos wasn't sure how to respond. "What exactly are you doing here?"
Zuri rolled her dark blue eyes before standing and rubbed her head against Minos'. "I am not a fool, Minos. You plan on taking over the Pridelands and I'm going to stand by your side."
