TMNTTLK lover; Yeah but she also didn't love him in the first place.

Enjoy this chapter of Delicate!

Kovu's youngest son, Loki woke up to aloud scream. The atmosphere was full of fear and it caused the pale creamy brown lion to cringe.

But he had to get up, Loki was some how drawn to the victim of the horrid scream. After swaying a bit he found the strength to exit the awful cave. When Loki exited the cave he lifted a paw to shield his leafy green eyes from the bearing sun, the first thing he saw when his vision cleared was a dead body of a lioness.

Loki gasped, the lioness was covered in blood. There was no way you could see her true coat colour.

"Mommy!"

Loki snapped her eyes from the deceased lioness to where the scream came from to see a small light beige lioness cub sitting not far from the dead lioness. Her pale green eyes had tears falling from them.

"Oh shut up! Because you will soon be joining your precious mother."

The cub's eyes widened but she was frozen from fear and grief. Valdimir growled with a sadistic grin, his dark brown eyes shined with dark amusement.

"Petty...I had pleasurable plans for you, my dear. But you are a rebel and I can't have that."

The light beige cub shook violently as the brownish-tan lion raised his paw but before he could bring his massive paw down he was tackled from the side.

When Valdimir's vision cleared he saw a Loki standing in front of the cub.

"Have you lost your mind boy!"

The young pale creamy brown lion bowed, he knew it was between life or death. So he chose his words wisely. "I'm sorry sir. I'll handle the rebel."

Valdimir stared at his ally's son for the longest time before growling. "I have better things to do. Kovu will attack at nightfall! Those clowns wouldn't know what hit them!"

...

Sherise returned to priderock before Jesùs did. He went to finish his patrol as she needed to check on the twins. When the dark brown lioness got to the kopje she was greeted by her mother and grandfather who was speaking with a peach pelted, dark brown maned lion that looked familiar.

Until Sherise suddenly remembered and rushed between her mother and the lion that was apart of her attack.

"You, what the hell are you doing here!"

Dhampir lowered his head in submission. "I have left Kovu. I never wanted to be apart of his nor Valdimir's plans. Please let me make it up. Kovu no longer feels he has use and is most likely planning on killing me. I know nothing of what he's planning now with Valdimir."

Sherise sneered. "As future queen, I allowed you in on judgment. Just so you know, we'll be watching you."

Simba and Kiara was stunned but would have done the same thing. After getting over their shock, Simba and Kiara headed up the slope with Dhampir following.

...

As specks of purple and orange tainted the sky, a sign of the apporching dawn. Multiple loud roars echoed across the multi-colored skies, that immediately woke the slumbering pridelanders.

Sherise yawned before looking around at everyone rising. "What's going on?"

Dhampir ran into the cave with wide hazel eyes. "Your highnesses!"

Kiara stood and apporched the peachy pelted lion. "Dhampir, what is it?"

Dhampir took deep breaths before reporting. "Kovu has been seen making his way here with a army. There's lions and some guards already in place to intercept him."

"Go!" Simba roared. "Gather every able fighting body you can!"

As Dhampir ran out of the cave, Kion apporched his sister and father.

"What's the plan?"

Kiara said nothing but walked out of the main cavern and stood on the peak. Where her brown eyes widened at the massive numbers of Kovu's followers. In a quick haste, the golden orange lioness turned to face everyone.

"I'll go down. Sherise, get the cubs and lead everyone to safety."

Sherise shook her head, tears falling down her cheeks. "No, mom! I won't leave you again!"

"Sherise," Sarabi apporched with a sad expression. "You, Sianna and Talia are the Pridelands only hope of survival. You three must go."

Sherise looked at everyone before sobbing as she embraced who was staying to fight. With one last glance, the future queen ran and grabbed one of her cubs as Joyce grabbed another, before leading the pride through the hole in the back of the cave.

On the Battlefield

Jesùs joined the Pridelands' guard to get breathless at the endless amount of lions and lionesses standing against them. The red-brown lion narrowed his eyes and snarled. "You will regret this! So I advise you to turn around and we'll forget about this!"

Kovu chuckled darkly. "I don't think so! I am one of the grandsons of the Mighty King Scar! The rightful king of the throne! And know that if I die, which is a very big if. Your brothers are ready to lead the last strike that will grant us our kingdom!"

"The throne belongs to the descendants of King Mufasa! Not descendants of a deranged tyrant!" Kion roared.

Kovu snarled, baring his teeth at the golden yellow prince's words. "One last time, surrender to the true king!"

"You'll never be a true king!" Simba snarled from his son's side.

Kovu's forest green eyes narrowed before he roared. "Attack!"

Kovu went to attack Simba but Chumvi charged and intercepted the attack. Sending the two former kings into a bloody battle of teeth and claws.

Nala turned to run towards priderock. She wanted to help her granddaughter, even if it killed her. But she didn't get far because one of Valdimir's sons, Levi rammed into the Queen Mother, sending the tawny lioness across the ground.

When Nala stood she growled and swiped at the younger reddish-tan lion and pounced, but Levi kicked Nala off in her stomach with claws out.

Nala staggered to the ground gasping in pain. Levi laughed as he stalked the injured lioness going for the kill.
