Enjoy the first chapter of That Would Be Enough II: Eye of the Hurricane.
Two months has went since the survivors of the Tree of Life came to seek refuge with the pridelanders.
King Simba and Queen Kiara accepted the survivors with open arms. Even Kion, who along with Raja and Gabriel was helping the Lion Guard patrol the Pridelands.
Kiara has been having a bad feeling, and extra guards wasn't going to hurt anyone besides the ones that trespasses, with bad intentions.
By now Prince Kopa and Prince Jesús were eleven months. Their tuffs has grew a bit down the back of their necks and a bit up their chests. The princes were also a bit taller.
Along with these changes, came lessons. Or more lessons in Jesús's case. As the second born prince in the current litter, it was Jesús' destiny to be the newest leader of the Lion Guard.
Only thing, even though Jesús has been having lessons for the past two months he hasn't received the Roar of the Elders. Everyone believes that the red-brown pre-teen has to witness something tragic or almost tragic, like Kion and all the original leaders to receive the roar.
On this particular day, the royal twins was in a game of baobab fruit ball with their cousins and friends. Including Fuli's son, Flash.
The yellowish cheetah cub tossed the greenish-yellow fruit where Jesús leapt up and caught it in his tan muzzle with a flip before landed on his tan colored paws.
Six month old Skye frowned as she pinned her ears. That was supposed to be her catch as Flash was one of her team-mates. But with that catch Jesús' team won and everyone knows that Kopa isn't too keen to losing.
Jesús turned his glinting dark brown eyes towards his pouting brother. "Haha! You lost, slow poke!" Jesús taunted proudly.
Kopa growled before smirking. Before Jesús knew it, his brother pounced on him, sending them tumbling. They soon rolled into something soft, getting tangled in a ball. They had soon stopped and laid out a few feet from another. The two royals got up and see a month old dark brown cub slowly standing.
"Uh...what happened?"
"Sorry...we kinda got out of control." the light gold prince smiled sheepishly.
The cub nodded and smiled, "It's okay, I'm Sherise by the way."
Kopa tilted his head, his ear flickered. "I don't remember seeing you around."
Sherise looked down, "That's because I just came here with my parents and my older sister which is by fifteen minutes."
Jesús smiled, "Well it's nice to meet you. I'm Jesús and-"
"And I'm Kopa." Kopa cut in with grin before moving his green eyes to his brother. "...and this buffoon, 'Soosy'!"
Jesús glared at his brother as he growled, "Kopa...you know I hate that name!"
Sherise blushed before looking away, "I like it, it's cute."
Jesús gaped at the new cub with unbelievable wide eyes while Kopa burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter. When Kopa finally stopped laughing the three were joined by the rest of the youngsters of the Pridelands.
"Hey guys. Who's your friend?" Amanda asked, her greenish eyes on the dark brown cub.
Jesús turned from his snickering brother to their friends. "That's Sherise. She's new. We're about to play hide and seek. Wanna play?"
There was a bunch of 'yes' and 'not it'. Unfortunately, Sherise was a little too slow and was it. The bad thing about being it was the least of her problems.
After counting down from ten, the dark brown cub ran off in search of the others.
While hiding, Jesús began to think about the past two months. Besides the extra lessons nothing haven't really changed. Besides his relationship with his brother.
Kopa and him were as close as ever but there's a shift in the air ever since it has been said he was going to be the newest leader of the Lion Guard.
Jesús didn't realize that he was really deep in thought until he heard a scream. Something called to him, which caused him to bolt towards the source.
The red-brown pre-teen ran as the wind of his running whipped through this growing black mane. He stopped at the edge of a valley to see a tall, bulky tannish, russet mane lion holding a scared Sherise by her scuff.
"J-Jesús...please help me!"
Upon hearing Sherise's cry Jesús felt the upmost need to protect and save her. "H-hey! Let her go!"
The lion, Dhampir laughed as he looked up at the prince. "Why don't you come down here!" when Jesús didn't move, Dhampir laughed before the tannish lion turned to the dark brown cub. "I believe that I hit the jackpot. Which is good, 'cause I'm starving."
"No!" something in Jesús snapped at that moment. His eyes began to glow. "Let her go!"
He roared which sent Dhampir tumbling back. When Jesús stopped roaring he looked around before taking a deep breath. "Hevi kabisa! What was that?"
Jesús looked over the edge and gulped. Both the lion and Sherise laid unconscious. Jesús pinned his ears as he lowered his head.
What have I done?
...
"Damu!" Simba roared. "You were banished along with your aunt and whoever is loyal to Zira and Scar!"
Damu lifted his head and rolled his shoulder. "I'm not here to start any trouble, King Simba. But as you can see...my mate is in distress. Surely you would help."
Both males turned to the weeping tannish lioness that was being comforting by Kiara and Samira's dark tan mother, Alvina. Along with a month old rusty brown cub.
Simba sighed before looking towards his brother-in-law, that is also his nephew.
ROAR
Simba's words were lost when the extremely loud roar echoed through the air. Jesús.
King Simba instantly thought. After receiving a nod from the king, the light beige lion dashed off along with Kader, Kion and the newly year and nine month old Severus.
Stara who was standing by along with Izayoi, Tiifu and Mheetu. Walked over to her brother and nuzzled him. "Reserve judgment. Even though we have a bad taste with the last time let in a former outlander. You can't keep a father from his mate and children. Father wouldn't want that."
Simba sighed before looking over at Damu. "Your mate and daughters are accepted. You on the other hand, will be watched. I reserve judgement. Now I will do what I can to look for your other daughter."
At that Ono flew in a frantic. "Sire!"
Simba groaned before looking up at the egret. "Yes, Ono?"
"You and the others must come quick. Bring Bareea as well."
Apporching the group with Taka and Izuku, the goldish-yellow lioness spoke up. "Is something wrong, Ono?"
"You must come to flat ridge rock! At once!"
While Kiara stayed behind with Samira and a few others. Simba, Damu, Mheetu, Bareea and Taka ran off towards the direction of the flat ridge rock.
When they got there, Prince Ahadi was climbing up the cliff with a unconscious month old dark brown cub.
"That's my daughter! What happened!" Damu roared.
A whimpered brought attention to a weeping Jesús that was surrounded by his brother and friends.
Damu snarled before rushing towards the crying prince but Ahadi intercepted him.
"From what I received from the others, a buddy of yours I...believe Dhampir, was going to kill Sherise. But Jesús saved her, by using the roar of the elders. Yes, she's unconscious but-"
"She'll be fine."Bareea added in after watching Taka run off towards the kopje with the cub in his tannish muzzle. "She just needs rest. Come on, your mate will need you."
Damu nodded before turning to run after the goldish-yellow lioness.
