What if Kion knew Vitani before he became the leader of the Lion guard. how would the lion guard series turn out in the end? Well, let's find out. Disclaimer: I do not own the Lion Guard or The Lion King series. Any characters from the Lion King/guard are rightfully owned by Disney.
Kion's POV:
I've been meeting with Vitani since we met years ago when we were little cubs. I remember telling her about how my dad disapproved of my choice for the lion guard. About how stuck up and snobby my sister was. Vitani always commented about how i was a natural leader and how i would make a wonderful king. I won't admit it but I'm jealous of Kiara. She thinks she's so great just because she's the future queen. Zuri and Tiifu are no help because they keep encouraging it. I remember that Vitani and I agreed that we should keep our friendship and knowledge of each other's existence a secret. I knew that Vitani's family lived in the outlands but i didn't know if there were more than one pride of lions in the outlands.
Currently, Bunga and I are playing baobab ball. "Hyena in the Pride Lands! Hyena in the Pride Lands!" Yelled a gazelle in a stampede of gazelle. "Hyena in the Pride Lands?" Said Bunga in a confused voice before becoming fierce. "All, right, Hyena! You picked the wrong day to come into the Pride Lands! That's right! And I'm Gonna..." "Hey. Bunga." Said Jasiri. "Wait. You're not from Janja's clan. You're the hyena that helped Kion when he was trapped in the Outlands!" Said Bunga. "Well, we helped each other out." Said Jasiri.
"Jasiri? What are you doing in the Pride Lands?" I asked. "Looking for you. I have a problem back home. And i need your help." Said Jasiri. "Is it Janja and his hyenas?" I asked. "No. Actually, it's lions." Said Jasiri. "Lions?" I said in a confused shock. "In the Outlands?" Asked Bunga. "That's right. They've taken over my family's watering hole. And they won't share it." Said Jasiri. "But there shouldn't be any lions in the outlands. You sure they're lions, Jasiri?" Asked Bunga.
"I know what lions look like, Bunga." Said Jasiri. "Okay. Well, I'd be happy to talk to them Jasiri." I said. I remember telling Vitani about Jasiri. Vitani told me to be careful around Jasiri... That hyenas' are master manipulators and are very cunning. that's why I'm currently suspicious about Jasiri's claim of lions stealing her family's water hole. She could be trying to manipulating me into helping her steal a watering hole that belongs to these lions who live in the Outlands.
"Maybe they're lost or something." Said Bunga. "Asante, Kion. Thank you." Said Jasiri. "Bunga, goo back to the Lair. Let the rest of the Guard know I'm going to the outlands with Jasiri." I Said. "Okay, We'll meet up with you there." Said Bunga. "No need. I should be right back. These are lions after all. It's probably a misunderstanding." I said. "Oh, I hope so." Said Jasiri. "Lead the way, Jasiri." I said as Jasiri led me to the lions. "See ya! Oh, and by the way... I win! Ha-ha" Said Bunga in from a few feet behind us.
{Time-skip; In the Outlands}
"You know Kion, I was kinda worried you might not help me." Said Jasiri. "Why wouldn't I? We've helped each other before." I Said. "That was different. Last time the bad guys where hyenas. This time they're lions." Said Jasiri. This made me suspicious of her true intentions. "They probably don't realize there are good hyenas in the Outlands. I had that problem at first, too." I said getting more suspicious of what is really going on. "That's true. It did take us a while to trust each other." Said Jasiri.
Suddenly I saw two pups and a few adult hyenas. "Jasiri, you're back! Whoa! You weren't kidding. You really are friends with a lion!" Said one of the hyenas. "Kion, this is my sister, Madoa." Said Jasiri. "Nice to meet you, Madoa." I said. "Uh, yeah. You too." Said Madoa. 'They're hiding something. Madoa doesn't seem to enjoy meeting me one bit.' i thought.
{In the Lion Guard Lair}
Noone's POV:
"...and with all the flooding we now have" Said Rafiki. "Hey, guys. Guys!" Said Bunga. "You're back just in time. Ono and Fuli are about to race!" Said Beshte in excitement. "What? Again?" Asked Bunga in shock. "Affirmative. But this time, I'm going to win." Said Ono. "You say that every time." Said Fuli "Ready?" "Ready. Bunga?" Asked Ono. "Oh, right. I'll be the ref!" Said Bunga. "On your marks... Get set... Go! And they're off. It's Fuli in the lead!" "I'm right on your tail, Fuli!" Said Ono.
"That's what you think. Huwezi!" Said Fuli. "Oh, no." Said Ono. "And the winner is...Fuli!" Shouted Bunga as Fuli crossed the finish line followed by Ono. "Nice race" Said Fuli.
"Yeah, do it almost had her that time." Said Bunga. "It was close, wasn't it?" Asked Ono. "Hmm. Maybe if a flatten my head feathers to reduce the drag, and stay closer to Fuli's tail to take advantage of her slipstream..." "Drag? Slipstream? Wha'cha talking about, Ono?" Asked Bunga. "I'm talking about winning!" Said Ono.
{Back in the Outlands}
Kion's POV:
"Lions are pretty reasonable. Once we get to the watering hole, I'm sure we can work things..." I said. "We told you to stay outta here, hyena!" Said a scrawny lion. "Hey! Back off." I said calmly and strictly. "Huh? Who are you?" Said the scrawny lion. "Name's Kion. Who are you?" I said. "Nuka! Hey, Nuka!" Said a dark-furred cub that looked around my age. "Kovu! Tell him to let me up!" Said the scrawny lion now identified as Nuka. "A friend of yours?" I asked. "He's my brother." Said Kovu.
"That's right! So you better let me up!" Said Nuka. "It's two against one now!" I understood him perfectly. If I was in his position i would do the same if I wanted to reveal my suspicions. "It's two against two." Said Jasiri. "It should be three against one! What Kind of Lion are you? Siding with a hyena!" Said Nuka. I tried to sneak a quick unsure glance at Jasiri. However, I wasn't quick enough as Kovu and Nuka raised an eyebrow at me. "What are you two lions doing in the Outlands? Why aren't you in the Pride Lands?" I asked.
Kovu's POV:
"What are you two lions doing in the Outlands? Why aren't you in the Pride Lands?" Asked Kion. I knew something was up now... He's lying. he knows there are lions in the Outlands yet he's acting like he's oblivious... wait he's suspicious about this hyena's true intentions. However, the thought of returning to the Pride Lands is temping. I decided to play along. "Like our family's welcome there!" Said Nuka in an annoyed tone. "Why wouldn't you be? I'm sure my dad would welcome you there." Said Kion in confusion.
"And who's your dad?" Asked Nuka. "You know, the king of the Pride Lands. Simba?" Said Jasiri. 'hm Kion's becoming more suspicious of this hyena who tried to steal our watering hole.' I thought. "Simba?" Said both me and Nuka in surprise. "You really think he'd allow us into the Pride Lands?" I asked. "I don't see why not. Especially if you give Jasiri's family their watering hole back." Said Kion though his voice seems to be hiding an act of a sort.
"Back to the Pride Lands. That means I can see Kiara again!" I Said in excitement. "You know Kiara?" Asked Kion. "Yeah! Uh, it was a while ago. We gotta take to see mom." I said. "Oh, yeah! She's gonna want to meet the son of Simba." Said Nuka. "The name's Kion." Said Kion. "Ok. Kion. Hyena. Let's go." Said Nuka. "C'mon Jasiri. You'll see. This whole watering hole thing's gotta be a misunderstanding" Said Kion.
Kion's POV:
"Mother! We have a visitor!" Said Nuka. "It's Simba's son. Kion." Said Kovu. "Simba's son? Well! what an honour." Said Nuka and Kovu's mother. I also noticed Vitani was with them. "he pounced on me!" Exclaimed Nuka. "I'm sure you pounced first." Said Kovu and Nuka's mother. "Well, yeah." Said Nuka. "Welcome, Kion. I'm Zira. And this is my daughter Vitani." Said Zira. My eyes widened after hearing that she was the sister of Nuka and Kovu.
"Wait! This is your family?! Wow, Never thought you'd be related to a scrawny Lion like Nuka!" I shouted in shock before i could stop myself. I winced before nodding to Vitani telling her it's time. "Hello, Kion! It's great to see you again. And yeah, this is my family." Said Vitani. "Wait, you know her, Kion?" Asked Jasiri in an angry voice. "Hehehe... err um... Yeah, we met years ago... since before i became the leader of the new Lion Guard." I said. "leader of the Lion Guard? But the Guard isn't here." Said Zira.
"No, but I am. Now I've known there were lions in the Outlands. But what i want to know is the truth of if you stole Jasiri's watering hole or if Jasiri is actually trying to trick me into helping her steal your watering hole." I admitted "K-Kion, you still didn't trust me? After we helped each other out? That- That cub turned you back to the way you were before we met." Said Jasiri.
"Her name is Vitani... And I'm starting to see what you really are... You're no different than Janja and his clan." I snarled at Jasiri feeling protective of Vitani. "If you want to help the hyena... why don't you just use the roar to give her clan the water they need." Said Zira. "Kion, Did you Know the Roar could do that?" Asked Vitani. I walked over to the water and stared at my reflection... I notice a feature of my ears i never knew before. They resembled Zira's but also Simba's... My nose was the same was as Zira's but a brownish orange.
"Wait you know about the roar of the elders Vitani?" Asked Zira. "Yeah, I've known for a while now. Besides he's pretty cool." Said Vitani. my mind drifted off to the treatment Kiara gives me. I felt a rush of anger. I then used the roar not paying attention until I heard a scream and thunder. I opened my eyes only to see Jasiri flying off to the distance. Suddenly I saw the roar coming back at me and the outsiders. I ran along with Vitani's family into a cave. "Did I kill Jasiri?" I asked unsure of the roar.
