"It's time!"

Simba looked from the red-brown lion to the cave entrance and roared. Kiara and her pride along with the Neverlanders ran out of the cave to see the Western pride headed towards them.

"We must go!"

The Pridelanders and Neverlanders nodded before running down the stoned slope after Simba and Kiara. A few Pridelanders stayed to protect Pride Rock.

Jesús looked at Sherise who was standing in front of him.

"You stay here with my grandparents and the other warriors."

Sherise pinned her ears against her head. "You don't want me to come?"

"You're pregnant, Sherise! It's too is dangerous!"

Jesús nuzzled the crying lioness before running after the others.

Sherise sat on the ledge as tears fell. The dark brown lioness closed her eyes before opening them with a new determined look. With a growl Sherise headed after the fighting prides.

~O~

Jesús caught up with the two prides and walked in the front where Simba and Kopa flanked him. The red-brown lion stood tall as a strong breeze blew by, ruffing up Jesús' black mane.

A dark, dry amusing laugh echoed through the air from the other side. On a high ledge stood Kovu laughing and shaking his head.

"Soosy. You escaped prison!"

Jesús growled. "No thanks to you!"

Kovu smiled. "Ah. I had to see if you were truly on our side. So what about that deal?"

Jesús stepped forward, making many of the lionesses and lions tense. The red-brown lion snarled. "You can take your deal and shove it up your ass!"

Kovu's eyes widen before he growled. "I'll have your tounge you incapable fool!"

Jesús sneered as Kovu roared. "Attack!"

Like a tidal wave the three prides met. Claws and teeth met fur. As thunder roared, roars of pain erupted through the plains causing the nearby animals to scattered.

"Beat them! Get them! Do what you must!" Nala roared before catching sight of her sister taking out members of her pride with ease. With a smile she jumped off the lower ledge next to Kovu.

"Remember your training!" Adela growled. Her dark red eyes landed on her youngest son. With a snarl she charged.

~O~

Mheetu had just broke a greyish lioness' neck. He took deep breaths as blood dripped down from his mouth. He soon let out a painful roar as he felt teeth and claws dig into his shoulder and back.

Mheetu fell to the ground as blood dripped from his wounds to see his birth mother snarling down at him with blood running down her chin.

"Mmmother..."

Adela growled. "I don't have any sons. But one and his name is Nuka!"

The dark cream lion's green eyes widen as he prepared to see death. But it never came. Mheetu stood up and seen a bit younger creamy lioness snap the creamy beige lioness' neck. Once the lioness turned Mheetu felt frozen as he starred in the unknown lioness' bluish eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Mheetu blinked before shaking his head. "Sorry."

The lioness smiled which made Mheetu blush. "I'm Anissa."

"Prince Mheetu."

~O~

Queen Kiara was fighting off Westerners left and right with ease. Some was just as big if not bigger than her father. But the golden queen soon found herself on the ground after receiving a paw to the face.

Kiara looked up with blood dripping from her mouth to see her half sister growling down at her.

"Not so tough are we?!"

"I'm not going to fight you!"

Nala laughed before swiping at Kiara making the younger lioness roar out. "Funny. Because I want to fight you!"

"Why?"

Nala struck her sister. "You stole everything from me!"

Kiara's blue eyes widen. "What!"

"I loved Simba. I only went with Kovu because he was going to win."

Kiara starred at her sister in horror. "You're crazy, Nala!"

The tawny lioness laughed. "Maybe!"

Nala was about to take her sister out when a hard force made the sick lioness rolled a few feet. Kiara looked up to see who her savoir was to stare into the brown eyes of a very familiar light beige lioness.

"Sabra!" the queen cried before embracing her long time friend.

Sabra smiled before returning to embrace. The two lionesses looked in time to see Nala charge towards them. Sabra tripped her, sending the tawny lioness face first in the ground. Kiara walked over and sighed.

"I'm truly sorry, my sister."

With closed eyes Kiara ended the Western queen's life. Sabra quickly pulled Kiara into a hug as the Pride Lands queen cried. But a loud roar made the two lionesses look up.

"Simba!"

~O~

Simba and Kovu circled each other. Snarls and growls left their muzzles. This is a fight to the death. Just as the brothers was about to land their blows a loud roar stopped him.

Walking out of the gathered lions and lionesses was the owner of the roar, Jesús. The red-brown lion walked over with his head lowered and his teeth bared. His black claws were out and in the deemly lit light the prides can tell he had some rough fights today. Scars and bruises scattered across his body as blood dripped from his muzzle from his last victim.

"I'm calling you out Kovu!"

The dull brown lion laughed before looking at Simba who was looking glum. "Well go on. Stand to the side."

Simba growled at his brother before looking at his adopted son before moving over to his pride and allies. The dark beige lion stood by his mate who had joined in time to see the call out.

"You don't know what you got yourself into, cub!"

"I know that I want you dead by my paws!"

Kovu snarled before pouncing. Jesús ducked before turning and striking Kovu across the face. Reopening the old scar that his mother gave him.

Jesús brought another paw down on the older lion. Kovu growled before kicking the red-brown lion off sending him a few feet. Kovu pounced, pinning Jesús down. The Pridelanders and Neverlanders gasped as the little bit of westerners cheered.

"Foolish cub! Now to join your pathetic father!"

Kovu raised his paw prepared to end the adopted Pride Lands prince's life. But before he could bring it down, the dull brown lion was tackled by a brown blur.

Kovu stood and so did his attacker. When the blur cleared everyone gasped.

"You keep your dirty paws off him!" Sherise snarled before striking Kovu across the face.

Kovu roared before back hitting the young lioness sending her flying, hitting a large rock head first.

"No!" Jesús roared.

But this roar wasn't like anything no one heard. As thunder roared and lighting flashed Jesús pounced sending the two rolling.

Jesús pinned his uncle. With a growl Jesús ripped Kovu's throat out.

"Any body else!"

The remaining Westerners left lead by Vitani and Nuka. "This isn't over!"

Jesús snarled at the retreating forms before his features soften as he turned to the stiff body of Sherise. Jesús nudged her with his nose but her head just rolled back in place.

"No.." Jesús whispered before he roared as tears began to fall. "Noooooo!"

The Pridelanders and Neverlanders lowered their heads. Tiifu nuzzled Kopa as tears began to fall. As did Luis and Asteria as well as Desta and Sabra. Sariel and Hunter lowered their heads as Amanda cried on the shoulder of Kion.

Jesús fell down and laid his head on Sherise's neck as tears fell from his dark brown eyes. "I was wrong. I do need you...you're everything I wanted and more. I love you Sherise."

Jesús nuzzled Sherise before standing and letting out a mournful roar. With tears falling the two prides echoed the sad roar.
