Hey guys! It's time for the big battle! Woo! I hope you enjoy and have a nice day! :)
Azra laid in bed beside Tojo and slept undisturbed. The light tapping of rain could be heard on the windows. It was a rainy, lazy Saturday but yet things felt tense. Then Azra got a call. She reached over and grabbed her phone. "Hello?" Azra said and sat up in bed. "Azra, I've got some bad news. It's finally happened. The Outlanders are advancing and they ought to be here in the next hour. You, Tojo, and Samara need to get over here now." Nala said urgently.
Azra gasped. "We'll be there soon." She said and hung up the phone. Tojo yawned. "What's wrong?" He asked. "The Outlanders are declaring war. We gotta go." Azra told him as she jumped out of bed. They both got geared up and went to tell Samara. Samara got herself ready and then the three of them started to leave.
"Mommy, where are you going?" Tanner asked. "Honey, go hide. We'll be back later. Stay hidden. I love you." Azra told her son as she ran to her Jeep. She drove to the palace and parked amongst the chaos. Soldiers were running around gathering weapons and Simba was shouting orders. Azra and Tojo helped load weapons but paused when Simba whistled.
"Everyone listen up! The Outlanders will be here at any moment. You all know what to do. This battle could be much harder than our last one with Scar and his army. We're going to cut the Outlanders off right in the middle of the city. When they arrive, I'll give the signal to attack. Be ready and stay alert. Let's move out!" Simba shouted to the troops.
Azra, Nala, and Simba got in Azra's Jeep and the soldiers got into their vehicles. Azra drove through the rainy, deserted city and looked at their surroundings. Most of the civilians had evacuated due to the threat of the Outlanders. "Keep your eyes pealed guys." Simba said over his radio. All was still and the only sounds to be heard was the patter of the rain on the ground.
Then Azra saw it. Zira stood at the end of the road at a stoplight with dozens of troops. "There, she is." Azra growled. Simba halted the troops and everyone jumped out of their vehicles, weapons bared. "It's about to get real guys. Assume position." Simba ordered. Everyone got in a sort of line and faced the Outlanders.
Zira laughed at the sight of her enemy. "It's over Simba! I've dreamed of nothing else for years!" She shouted. Azra rolled her eyes. This woman was nuts. "Last chance Zira. Go home." Simba warned. "I am home." Zira snarled. Thunder boomed and lightning flashed behind her. "Attack!" She roared. The Outlanders held their weapons close and ran towards their enemy ferociously. Simba gave his signal and the soldiers charged at the Outlanders.
The city was soon filled with gunshots and hundreds of flying bullets. A bullet struck a Prideland soldier in his arm. He cried out in pain and fell to his knees but kept shooting. "Show no mercy guys!" Azra heard Vitani shout. She watched Vitani charge at Nala and swing at her. Nala skillfully ducked the blow and knocked Vitani over instead. Vitani stood back up and laughed menacingly. "Where's your pretty daughter Nala?" She taunted. Nala tackled her in anger.
Azra jumped up on the hood of her Jeep and took out several Outlanders with her M16 rifle. She moved quickly and put more ammo in her gun. Simba was fighting and shouting orders beside her. Nala was fighting alongside him and the troops against the Outlanders. Wait.. Where's Zira? Azra thought. She scanned the area but Zira was nowhere to be found. "What the…" Azra muttered.
Suddenly Zira appeared out of nowhere and tackled Simba. She punched him in the stomach and he fell to his knees. This caught everyone by surprise so they stopped fighting and looked up in surprise. Simba stood back up and drew his pistol. Zira drew hers and glared at Simba. They faced each other with pistols raised and eyes locked on each other. Neither of them moved until a loud noise filled the streets. Kovu's black Mustang flew around the corner and stopped right in the middle of Simba and Zira.
Kovu and Kiara stepped out of the car with disgusted looks on their faces. Kiara faced Simba and Kovu faced Zira. "Dad this has to stop." Kiara said firmly to Simba. "You're even weaker than I thought. Get out of the way!" Zira shouted at Kovu. "You'll never hurt Kiara! Or Simba! Not while I'm here." Kovu said threateningly.
"Stay out of this." Simba warned Kiara. "A wise king once told me, we are one. I didn't understand back then but now I do." Kiara said softly. Azra started to understand what she meant and smiled. "But they…" Simba started. "What do you mean us? Look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?" Kiara asked as Simba looked around at everyone.
After some thought, Simba gave in. "Drop your weapons guys." He said to his troops. Azra set her M16 down and her fellow soldiers did the same with their weapons. Kiara smiled and gave her father a hug. Azra noticed a look of realization on Vitani's face. She was starting to see the truth. Zira turned to Vitani. "Vitani, now!" She cried. Vitani shook her head sadly. "No mother. Kiara's right. Enough is enough." She said as she dropped her weapons and walked over to Kiara and Kovu.
"If you will not fight, then you will die as well." Zira snarled. Azra's jaw dropped. This woman was worse than Scar! She was willing to sacrifice her own children at what cost? The Outlanders gasped and started walking over to the Pridelanders in disgust. Zira was enraged now. "Where are you going? Get back here!" She roared. "Let it go Zira. It's time to move on and put the past behind us." Simba said and stepped towards her.
"I'll never let it go!" Zira screamed and stormed away.
