Lions and lionesses lined up prepared for battle. Katja hid in the shadows as Kovu and his army marched by. Once the cost was clear, the tan lioness picked up a one month cub and ran.
-O-
"Where can she be?"
Simba paced worrying as Kiara weeped.
"Kiara, Honey you have to calm yourself. It's not good for you or for the cub." Sarabi said as she nuzzled her daughter's head.
"I can't calm down when my daughter is out there with a evil monster running loose!"
"Your majesty!"
Simba looked at the cave's entrance to see Zazu.
"Zazu, what is it?"
"Outlanders are headed this way! It's war!"
Simba looked at the lionesses and lions gathered. "Pride gather up all able members and head out!"
Like a stampede the lions and lionesses moved out of the cave to follow the king's order. Simba looked at the four lionesses that stood in front of a still weeping queen.
"Sarabi, mom, Nala and Auntie Jaha you four stay here and watch Kiara!"
The four lionesses nodded before watching the tawny king bolt out of the cave.
-O-
As the two prides met by the gorge they were oblivious to a pair of gold eyes were watching.
"Well, we meet again." smiled Kovu.
Simba glared at the brownish lion, "Go home Kovu!"
Kovu smirked evilly before roaring, "I am home! Attack!"
Simba roared as he lead his pride into battle. Like a tidle wave the two prides met.
-O-
Jata and Dimitri were lying by a creek when a light brown falcon with gold eyes landed in front of the lions.
"Princess Jata!"
Jata looked at the bird with confusion, "How do you know who I am?"
The bird bowed, "I lived in the Pride Lands and I followed you when you ran away."
Dimitri sat up and said,"What are you doing here?"
The falcon sighed and said, "I'm going to make it quick. The Outlanders are attacking!"
"What!" Jata cried out.
The bird flew up and said, "You have to put a stop to it!"
Jata nodded and was about to make run for it, when a tan lioness carrying a one month cub came running over.
"Princess, wait!" said the tan lioness after placing the cub down.
"Who are you!?" Jata growled.
"Wait, I'm not here to fight."
Dimitri nuzzled the growling lioness, who calmed.
The tan lioness took a deep breath and said, "My name is Katja and I ask you to take this cub in..."
"Why should I!" Jata snarled.
"Because this cub is Kovu's daughter and I don't want her to follow the same path."
Jata loosened up and looked down at the cub. The cub had dark brown fur and purple eyes. This cub is innocent and she has a chance to change the future of her kingdom. Plus she already felt a bond with the small cub.
Jata nodded and said, "I'll do it."
Katja smiled and said, "Thank you and bless you." before running off.
"Wait what's her name?" Dimitri called out to the retreating lioness.
Jata smiled and said, "Oh forget it Dimitri. I have the perfect name." as she glaze lovingly at the cub.
"So, what are you going to call her?"
Jata nuzzled the cub and said,"Sherise." before grabbing the cub and running off.
Dimitri wasted no time and followed the fleeing lioness.
-O-
As the four lionesses stood guard of their weeping queen when two shadows came running in.
"Halt!" Sarabi roared.
But as the shadows got clearer, the lionesses gasped.
"Dimitri, you're alright!" said Jaha as she hugged her son.
Jata placed Sherise down and said, "I have no time to explain, just watch her!" before running back out with Dimitri.
The two ran as fast as their legs could move. They stopped on a hill top and gasped at what they saw.
The battle below was deadly. The two shared a look before descending down to the war.
-O-
Kovu and Simba fought to the death. Kovu swiped at the Pride Lands king, who slipped and fell on his side.
Kovu chuckled evilly and said, "What a sad excuse for a lion!"
Just as he made way to finish the job, a pale blur knocked Kovu a few feet.
"Keep your flithty paws off my father!"
Kovu got up and chuckled, "My my, isn't it the princess. My how you grown and beautifully too."
Jata shuddered before growling, "You don't belong here and I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Kovu laughed with humor in his green eyes, "Oh yea. About what?"
"About messing with my family!" with a thunderous roar the princess pounced.
The Pride Landers and Kovu's army stopped fighting looked at the princess and the brownish lion fight.
