Katja had made it back to the Outlands where she was met by a snarling Zira and Hadeon while her sister, Pena stared in disappointment.

"You traitor, how can you do that!?" Pena growled.

"I did what's was right!" Katja snarled at her sister.

Pena smiled, "Well in that case, I'm doing what's right!", the dark tan lioness nodded at the large creamy gold lion, "Kill her!" before walking away with Zira.

Hadeon smirked at the old tan lioness before leaping. Birds scattered as a dying roar was heard.

-O-

Jata hit the ground hard nearly fell unconscious.

Kovu grinned as he moved closer with a killer glint in his green eyes, "Useless female, I had plans for you!"

Just as the brownish lion raised his paw a force pounced on him. It turned out to be Dimitri who sent a hard blow to Kovu's face.

"You will not be killing her! Not on my watch!" Dimitri growled before pouncing on Kovu.

Kovu used his hind legs and cut the young lion's stomach open. Causing Dimitri fell to the ground and skid a few feet.

"Dimitri, no!" Jata roared before giving Kovu a deadly glare, "You!"

With an unthinkable amount of strength Jata pounced and slashed Kovu's throat before taking it in her mouth and snapping it.

"Jata, no!"

Jata looked at her grandfather with blood dripping from her muzzle."Grandpa, I'm sorry."

Mufasa smiled and hugged his granddaughter and said "It's alright, sweetheart."

A cough reached the royal's ears.

"Dimitri!" cried Jata as she ran to the dying lion's side.

Dimitri coughed again, blood coming out of his muzzle as more gushed out of his wound."Jata, my love, I'm sorry I won't be here to help raise our cub..."

Jata smiled lightly as the dying lion continued.

"Please let him or her know that I do love them and I'll be watching over them and..."

Jata bend down and nuzzled the lion, getting more blood on her fur.

"I...I love...you..."

Dimitri smiled weakly before he closed his eyes to never be open to again.

Jata bowed her head and closed her eyes as tears fell, "I love you too..."

Simba walked over and nuzzled his daughter."I'm sorry, but we need to go home and we'll buried him."

Jata nodded and said,"Just give me some time."

Simba nuzzled her and said, "Okay." before heading towards his pride with Mufasa following.

-O-

The Pride Landers had long since chased the intruding lions out. With Kovu dead they didn't know what to do so they ran back to the Outlands.

"Is everyone okay?" Simba asked.

The lions and lionesses nodded as the king turned to his son, father-in-law and brother-in-law.

"We have a dead lion. Bring him back to Pride Rock."

Jesús and Kopa nodded before running off as Mufasa stayed to help lead the pride back to priderock.
