Simba walked in the cave to be greeted by a not too happy Kiara.

"Where have you been?!"

Simba rolled his pale green eyes but manage to keep it cool, "I was patrolling."

Kiara looked unsure and growled, "Do you think me as a fool, Simba! You been disappearing every since Sherise and Jesús took the throne!"

Simba couldn't take it and roared a thunderous roar, "I do think you is a fool! You and everyone else that's okay with a child of a murder on the throne. For crying out loud her father killed our son!"

Kiara had tears in her eyes, "What have gotten into you? Don't you know Kovu killed our son not Sherise!"

Simba snarled, "His blood runs through her veins!"

More tears ran down Kiara's face, "Kovu's blood run through our grandson's vein as well!"

Simba growled, "I know what I got to do!"

With that the tawny lion ran out of the cave just as Sherise and Jata walked in.

Jata saw her mother crying and ran towards her. "Mother what's wrong?"

Kiara looked at her daughter with fear and heart break in her amber eyes, "Your father, he's gone mad!"

Sherise eyes widen as she cried, "Mateo!" before running out.

-O-

A pale cream lion with a gold mane and hazel eyes were patrolling the east side borders. When he should be focus on the task, but he couldn't help but think about his late mate Jacqueline. He and Jacqueline met as teenagers in her pride. He was rouge at a young age and decided to live in a pride.

There he met a beautiful creamy brown lioness with orange eyes. The two became best friends and as time went on they became closer. When they were two years old they left to start a pride of their own since Jacqueline was pregnant already and they wanted to be prepared in case it was a male and he had to be cast out.

So the growing family decided a small oasis was the best place to raise a family. But seven months later when Jacqueline gave birth to another cub, who was two months and when their first cub was five months a fire broke out in the oasis. Jacqueline died from sacrificing to save her family.

With a sad sigh he continued with patrol. As he moved on he heard laughter. He hid behind some bushes and smiled at what he saw. The prince and his two friends, one of them is his youngest daughter.

But it was a good thing he was watching as danger was coming and it was coming fast.

-O-

Simba ran until he heard laughter, with a evil grin he pounced but stopped when he saw that his target had company. Mateo stopped playing when he saw his grandfather and ran over.

Simba smiled at an idea as his grandson came over.

"Hey Grandpa Simba!"

Simba forced a smiled and said, "How's my favorite grandson?"

Mateo just laughed.

Simba smiled, "How about we take a walk?"

But really he was hoping that Mateo's friends ran off.

Mateo turned towards his friends and said, "I'll see you guys later!"

Sabini and Mheetu nodded before running off. Simba made sure the cubs were out of sight before turning towards the excited prince.

Without any warning Simba raised his paw and landed it on the unexspected cub. The lion in the bush couldn't believe his eyes but after watching Simba land two more gruesome blows to the defenseless cub. He leaped out with a mighty roar.

Simba looked up and growled. He will not let this male ruin his plans. He charge towards the younger lion with growl. The pale cream lion tackled Simba to the ground just as Sherise, Jesús, Jata, Sarafina, Abasi, Kiara, Alistair, Sarabi, Mufasa, Jaha, Askari and Nayir came running over.

"What's going on here?!" Jesús roared.

The pale cream lion looked up at the pale beige king, still pinning the tawny lion and said, "Your highness, this lion attacked the prince."

Everyone gasped minus Sherise who glared with hurt and angry eyes.

"Why?" Was all Sherise had to say.

Simba push the pale cream lion off and stood, "I got my revenge!"

Jesús' dark brown eyes narrowed as he growled, "What revenge!"

Simba frowned, "That wrench's father killed my son, your brother!"

Jesús roared, "So you attack my son, your own grandson for something he didn't do nor my wife!"

"Don't you wonder how your nephew's father died?"

Everyone gasped as they realized what Simba was about say. Minus Jesús and Sherise who was in the dark.

Simba looked at the queen and king, "That's right the both of you. My daughter killed Kovu after Kovu killed Dimitri, who was your nephew's father, my son."

Sherise and Jesús had wide eyes as they heard Simba's words.

Mufasa stepped up seeing that the royals were in shock. "You are banished for treason! You better hope he lives or you will be sorry!"

Simba snorted and looked at Abasi and Sarafina who walked over to Simba. Everyone was speechless as the three lions ran off towards the border.

By now Sherise and Jesús have snapped out of their trans.

Sherise looked at the pale cream lion with fear and worry, "Jasper, where's my son?"

The lion turned his head to the right and to everyone's horror there laid in a pool of blood was the prince. Sherise ran over and scooped up Mateo's unconscious body in her paws as tears fell.

Jesús ran over with tears of his own, "No!"

Mufasa looked at his youngest son and said, "Go get Jackson!"

Askari nodded before running off with Nayir.

Jata walked over and nuzzled her sister in-law."We got to get him back home."

Sherise nodded and picked Mateo up gently before making the trip back to Pride Rock with everyone following, silently praying that it's not to late.
