CandyLuv99; I have came across some villain supporters. I get the reason behind Nala and Zira's plans, but even as I'm rewriting it, I can't help but not like it. But once again, your reviews like these I look forward to.

Not everyone is going to agree but at the end of it, you still enjoyed it and look forward for more. Thank you!

Like in the original I'm switching somethings, Bunga is going to be a lion. Have fun meeting some of the cubs! Enjoy!

Present Time

The sun had risen over the beautiful plains known as the Pridelands. Princess and Chosen Future-Queen Kiara ran out of the cave along with her older cousins, Ahadi the second who was named after his great-grandfather and Tiifu onto the peak of Pride Rock, and smiled happily at the beautiful day the sun had brought them.

Ahadi, the oldest out of the three was much like Kiara. Wanted to make his own mark, wanted to be remembered as more than the savior king's nephew.

Tiifu, Mheetu and Anissa's youngest of their twins. Was more skeptical. Tend to follow the rules, but it was a bit difficult when hanging around Kiara and Ahadi.

"Wow!" Kiara cried out in awe as gazed out into the kingdom under the golden glow from the kopje edge.

Ahadi and Tiifu glanced at one another before they started snickering. This earned an annoyed glare from Kiara.

"What's so funny!?"

"You! Kiki," Tiifu started with a amused grin.

Ahadi snickered again, his orange eyes full of humor as he finished. "You've seen the Pridelands, how many times now?"

Kiara huffed, clearly annoyed with her cousins. Before heading down the rocky slope.

Ahadi and Tiifu smiled at each other, and made their way down the slope as well. The light gold princess was suddenly plucked up from the ground by Simba, making Ahadi and Tiifu stop in their tracks.

"Where do you think you are going in such a hurry?" Simba asked playfully, picking Kiara with his paw gently when she tried to escape over to her cousins.

"Daddy! Let go!" Kiara giggled after Simba placed her back on her paws.

Simba smiled, but still looked a bit stern. "Now, I just want you to be careful."

Princess Kiara and Prince Ahadi didn't pay that much attention, too busy trying to catch a pretty butterfly, before the light beige cub fell on his belly when Simba pressed his paw on his tail gently.

"Are yout wo listening? Accidents can happen."

Ahadi listened this time along with Tiifu, while Kiara just looked bored. She had heard this speech a dozen times. Kiara just had one thing in mind when it came to the outside world; Have fun.

"You could easily get hurt-"

"'Hurt, or stepped on, or even get lost'." Kiara copied.

Simba sighed, but continued anyways."And remember. I want you to stay by Pride Rock at all times."

"'At all times', I know." she finished with him at the end, while Tiifu just nodded and Ahadi snickered. "'And if I see any strangers, don't talk to them. Come straight home.' Okay, okay! Can we go now? PLEASE?" Kiara smiled innocently as Ahadi and Tiifu nodded with her, giving their signature smiles that they inherited from their parents.

Simba hummed, "Very funny, you three."

Stara, the senior princess of the Pridelands made herself known when she sat down next to her brother and chuckled."Mind your father, Kiara. And you mind your uncle." she told them and they smiled knowingly.

"Yes, mom."

"Yes, Auntie Stara."

Ahadi and his cousins chorused together. Then Simba said one last thing;

"And stay away from the Outlands." just then, Zazu flew over Simba's head and seated himself beside the cubs.

"Nothing there but a bunch of backstabbing, murderous, Outsiders." Zazu gritted his beak and sneered, as if these 'Outsiders' were right by their side.

"Zazu's right." Simba agreed, looking at the Outlands in disgust for a moment, before turning back to the cubs. "You can't turn your back on them." he told them.

Tiifu and Ahadi nodded, both knowing this was not the time to talk back, but Kiara looked confused.

"Really? How come?" she asked innocently, but Simba just shook his head. They weren't ready to hear the truth about the Outsiders.

"Never mind. Just run along now." he told them, but they both still wanted to know. At least, Ahadi and Kiara did. But he wouldn't give it to them, "You'll understand someday." they smiled, nuzzled and weaved in between Simba and Stara's legs and then ran off.

"And stay on the path I marked for you!" Simba called out after them.

Stara chuckled, finding this rather funny. "Simba. Who do those two remind you of, hmm?" Simba looked confused for second, before asking what she meant.

"They were just like us, when we were cubs." she told him, nuzzling him sisterly, but he didn't return it.

"Exactly! Don't you relies the dangers we put ourselves in?" he asked, looking in the cubs direction, before being pinned easily by a playfully insulted Stara.

"You mean the danger you put us in?" she told him, and he chuckled, realizing his sister was right as she nuzzled him and he nuzzled back. They pulled away, still smiling.

"They'll be fine." with that, she walked away, making her way to the cave as Simba stared after her, not that comforted by her words.

...

Racing through the Pridelands in a game of baobab fruit ball, was Prince Kion and his best friend, Bunga. A greyish cub with a white spikish tuff on his that lined the underside of his forelegs. Was Kion's most trusted companion.

Bunga was adopted by Timon and Pumbaa, a week after Kiara's presentation. The greyish cub was younger than Kion but a day or two older than the princess.

Kion and Bunga ran through the Pridelands passing the baobab fruit back and forth before the fruit went over a cliff that leads into the Outlands.

"Oh man. There's our game." Kion sighed before turning to head back home.

"Come on Ky'. What could happen?"

Kion frowned as he watched his closest friend leap down the piles of rocks before running over to the fruit.

Kion gasped when he saw that Bunga wasn't alone. "Bunga, look out!"

Before Bunga could respond a hyena that the young cubs unfortunately knew as Chungu picked the greyish cub up as another hyena and Cheezi appeared laughing.

"Janja will be most pleased!" the greyish hyena sneered.

"H-hey! Let him go!"

The greyish hyena laughed as he looked up at Kion. "Why don't you come down here!" when Kion didn't move the greyish hyena and his comrades laughed before the greyish hyena turned to Bunga. "I'm starving."

"No!" something in Kion snapped. The goldish cub's orange eyes began to shine like the stars at night. "Let him go!"

Kion roared which sent the hyenas tumbling back. When Kion stopped roaring he looked around before taking a deep breath. "Hevi kabisa! What was that?"

Priderock

"That was Kion's roar?'' Nala asked Rafiki, who laughed as he stood at the peak.

Nala absolutely didn't want anything to do with Simba. She was surprised she was still queen but she knew that Simba didn't have it in him to divorce her. But the tawny coated lioness was mainly here because it contained her son.

Stara who was seated closer to her brother shook her head in annoyance. She never did like Nala, even when they were cubs. She only got along because Simba really liked her, even though he refused to admit it.

Now, after months of ignoring her brother, not to mention the king, she wants to be apart of royal business. Nala's lucky it's dealing with Kion or she would of gave her a piece of her mind. The goldish lioness is still tempted.

''Yes Nala, yes!'' Rafiki replied, "The prince is ready..It Is Time!''

''No, Rafiki.'' Simba said shaking his head, ''Kion can't possibly be ready, he's still a cub.''

The golden king was then hit on the head with a stick.

''Ow!" Simba yelped before looking at the Royal Mjuzi.

''Simba, you heard the roar!'' Rafiki reminded the king of the pridelands.

''But..it's just..it's a big responsibility,'' Simba said reluctantly. ''I need more time to prepare them.''

''You ran out of time, brother.'' Stara told her big brother, ''You need to tell him.''

''Tell me what, auntie?'' Kion asked his goldish coated aunt as he and Bunga walked over to the gathered adults.

Stara turned to her brother and the Royal Mjuzi, who turned to Simba.

''Well..um..we need to talk, Kion.'' Simba said after taking a deep breath, where Kion instantly had a look of fear.

''Oh no..dad, we already had that talk. 'Can you feel the love tonight'!'' Kion said in a annoyed tone.

Simba looked at Stara, who snickered in amusement at her brother's torture.

Simba cleared his throat before looking back at his son. "No. I'm gonna talk to you about something else..follow me.'' Simba said, both of Kion and Bunga was confused but followed after the king.
