Thali began to sob hard. Her mother was gone. There was now no one for her to trust. Lotte noticed Thali crying and walked over to her

"What's wrong-" she then caught a glimpse of Rena's dead body. Thali turned to her and began to cry on her shoulder

"It's not fair!" Thali cried, Lotte's eyes filled with tears

"I know" a tears began to roll down her face "Now Nuka's gone! I can never tell him how I felt about him" Lotte sobbed. Dotty saw the two lionesses crying

"Snap out of it!" she shouted. Thali looked towards Zira

"Scar watch over my poor Nuka!" Kovu bowed his head in guilt; Thali took one step closer to him. Zira strode over to him

"You!" Kovu looked at her, she scared him. Kovu yelped in pain. Thali's mouth dropped open. Kovu looked at his mother breathing heavily

"What have you done!" Zira snarled

"I didn't- I didn't do anything… I did nothing!" he snarled

"Exactly! And in doing so you betrayed your Pride! Betrayed Scar!" she snapped

"I want nothing more to do with him!" Kovu yelled, Thali watched the two feud in horror

"You cannot escape it!" Zira corned Kovu "Nuka is dead because of you! You've your own brother!" Zira shouted

"NO!" Kovu cried as he ran off. Thali walked a few steps after him

"Kovu…" she whispered, most of the lionesses growled at him

"Let him go!" Zira jumped onto a rock "Simba has hurt me for the last time! Now he has corrupted Kovu! Listen to me, Simba is injured and weak! Now is the time to attack! We will take his entire Kingdom! By force!" Zira laughed, every lioness rose to roar in approval, except Thali.

"But Zira! Nuka was not the only one killed!" Thali shouted, Zira glared warningly at her "I mean- Murdered! My mother was too!" Thali ran to her mother's side. Zira jumped off her rock and trotted to Rena's body. She gasped

"Rena my friend… Why did he do this to you?" Zira gathered all Rena's friends around her "I'm sorry Thali… But now we attack!" Zira led the lionesses to a river. She told them to cross the water, she led the way. The sky became cloudy and dark, when they reached the battle ground, the Pridelanders were already waiting. Thali scanned the rows of lions to spot Simba next to his mate. 'Lucky thing' Thali thought.

"It's over Simba! I've dreamed of nothing else for years!" Zira snarled

"Boy does she need a hobby" Timon said, Thali stared at him. He was her first target.

"Last chance Zira. Go home" Simba said boldly

"I am home" lighting struck the sky "ATTACK!" Zira roared, the Outsiders roared back at her. They began walking, then trotting, and then running into battle. Thali leapt for Timon

"AHH!" he screamed, but Nala knocked her out of the way

"Watch your attacks young lioness!" Nala growled fiercely. Thali pushed Nala off.

"Go for the eye!" she shouted at Lotte "Break her jaw!" she commanded Dotty "Get her low!" she shouted at Thali as she pushed a lioness over "Get them! Do what you must!" Thali then saw 5 lionesses chasing Timon and Pumbaa

"Wait for me!" Thali ran after the mob of lioness. They cornered Timon and Pumbaa; whom were quivering with fear, the lionesses growled

"Don't anybody move!" Timon clutched his pal's tail "This thing's loaded! I'll let ya have it!" Timon threatened

"AHHHH!" Thali and the others screamed running away as fast as they could. When Thali arrived at the battle scene a Pridelander leapt at her.

"You shall not hurt my King!" she growled, Thali's mind flamed with rage. Thali smacked the Pridelander in the jaw. She fell to the ground, her jaw was broken. Just then Zira hit Simba. It was time. All the lionesses gathered around. Simba & Zira were about to strike when, Kovu and Kiara jumped in the way. Thali frowned at the Princess; she then turned to Kovu, shocked.

"Kiara?" Simba growled

"Kovu!" Zira snarled "Move lad"

"Stand aside" Simba narrowed his eyes,

"Daddy this has to stop!" Kiara demanded, Thali rolled her eyes

"You're even weaker than I thought! Get out of the way!" Zira snapped

"You'll never hurt Kiara, or Simba! Not while I'm here" Kovu growled warningly, Zira looked at her son shocked. Thali looked at Kovu as if to say

"Give it up whilst you have the chance"

"Stay out of this!" Simba scolded, Kiara stood her ground

"I wise King once told me, We are One… I didn't understand him then. Now I do" Kiara smiled

"But they-" Simba started

"Them, us, look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?" Kiara asked. Thali lifted her head to see sun light in the sky. Kiara and her father nuzzled. Thali felt a tear roll down her face; she had never experienced father & daughterly love before. The last she could remember of her Dad was his crippled dead body. No one should have to remember that.

"Vitani now!" Zira commanded, Vitani looked surprised

"No mother!" Vitani walked over to Kovu's side "Kiara's right. Enough" the Outsiders looked at each other in disbelief

"If you will not fight then you will die as well" Zira smirked. The Outsiders began to walk towards the Pridelanders.

"No way" Thali shook her head in disagreement with Zira

"Not her" Dotty said. Zira looked around in horror

"Wha- Where… Where are you going? Get back here!" Zira ordered

"Let it go Zira. It's time to put the past behind us" Simba said gently

"I'll never let it go!" some logs move below "This is for you Scar" Zira pounced at Simba, only to be knocked by Kiara, the two tumbled down into the gorge.

"Kiara!" Simba shouted

"Kiara!" Kovu repeated. Simba jumped after his daughter

"Kiara!" he cried again, Kovu was about to leap down after him, when Thali stopped him.

"No Kovu" she put her paw in his way. Kiara and Zira continued to fall, eventually grabbing the side of the gorge, Zira fell and Kiara and Simba climbed back up, together. Kovu walked over to Kiara. Thali looked puzzled. Kiara went up to him

"Kovu" she nuzzled him

"Oh Kiara" he nuzzled back. Lotte motioned for her to join the Outsiders group, as she did so, Simba said Kovu was welcome, and they should go home. The Outsiders walked up behind him

"All of us" he smiled at them. The new Pride started back for Pride Rock. Thali dordled at the back. She was wondering if Kovu had really loved her. She looked up ahead to see Kiara and him nuzzling to their heart's content. Thali growled, Kovu then looked back at Thali now noticing that she had got tear stains on her face. He stopped and waited for her to catch up

"Hey. Isn't great?" Kovu smiled

"Yeah…" Thali looked away.

"Look Thali if it's about the fact that I attacked you… I'm sorry… ok?" Kovu looked hopefully at her

"My mother's dead…" Thali sniffed

"Yeah I know- What? I didn't know that. How did she… Um… How did she…" he tried

"Die? She died because, that Leader up there killed her" she motioned to Simba

"Oh…" Kovu trotted ahead over to Kiara. They arrived at Pride Rock; Thali looked at it with pride. This was her new home. All of them sat in a circle. Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kovu walked up to the top of Pride Rock. They all roared, all the lionesses roared back. Thali smiled, the Circle was complete again. After the ceremony Kiara and Kovu continued their nuzzling. Weeks passed. It was boring for Thali really. There was nothing to do.

One day Thali was out strolling the Pridelands when she was two strange figures approaching her. Thali was about to turn to find Simba when

"Hey you! Wait!" There was something in the young lioness's tone which she recognised from somewhere. The two strangers ran up to her. Thali raised an eyebrow, the lioness had a Moon on her forehead and the male had two marks, shaped like tears on his face. Thali gasped

"Who are you? Why have you come here?" Thali growled. The lioness looked startled

"Hush. We come in peace" the female said

"I'm Tear" the male said

"And I'm Moon. We are looking for our mother" Thali gasped. It was them….
