Kion was out walking by himself as a teenager and a strange lion came up to him and he wasn't from the Pride Lands at all.
Kion: Who are you?
Lion: My name is Leo and I've come with a warning for you out of respect.
Kion: Alright, Leo. What is this warning?
Leo: I spotted a leopard that hurt Makucha and run off. Another leopard, Shiro, Makucha's brother, had found him and believes that you're the one that did it to him. He swore that if and when he finds you, you and your loved ones will pay. He will hurt you and your loved ones or worse.
Kion: Thanks for the warning, Leo.
Leo: Of course.
Leo left and Kion returned home at night. He tried to look as normal as ever to his family and he didn't talk with his friends.
Kiara: Long day, Kion?
Kion: Yeah, I just need some sleep.
Kion laid down inside the den and pretended to go to sleep and he waited until everyone else was asleep to open his eyes again and stand up. He quietly made his way out of the den. He decided that he would try to at least make the Outlands and the Pride Lands in peace so he grabbed some plant seeds and brought them to a place in the Outlands to a clearing where no animal lived. Then he went towards Jasiri's territory but didn't enter it knowing that Jasiri would smell him. He used one of his claws to write a message saying that she is to take charge of directing the hunting when animals finally start coming, little did he know that a certain outsider lion teenager spotted him heading towards the clearing. After he left the note, he headed towards the Backlands to trick this Shiro that he lived in the Backlands.
*Next Day (Pride Lands)*
Kiara had woken up only to see Kion gone and it was only sunrise.
Kiara: Did Kion leave to meet up with the rest of the Guard?
Simba: Lets go see.
The royal family left the main den and went to the lair.
Nala: Lion Guard, have you seen Kion?
Fuli: No. Why?
Kiara: He's not in the den.
Bunga: Where did he go?
Simba: I wish we knew.
*Same Day*
Kion had been wondering around the Backlands for hours to try and trick this Shiro. He knew he had to come up with a disguise after this and a new name. Suddenly, Kion got pounced on a leopard.
Kion: You must be Shiro.
Shiro: Indeed. You must be that annoying Kion that hurt Makucha.
Kion: My name is Kion but I didn't hurt Makucha.
Shiro: Lies.
Kion managed to kick the leopard off of him and get back on his paws. Kion managed a few blows towards Shiro but Shiro just kept coming at him and not giving him any breathing space. Kion had taken a lot of blows, even a scar to the face but Kion managed to get some space between them and used his Roar.
Kion: That was painful. I better find a disguise now until I can train and to prevent Shiro from finding me until I'm ready. I also shouldn't mention him to anyone or use my Roar so often.
Kion walked on further and covered himself with a bit of sand, making his fur appear like a sandy-gold and his mane covered in sand, he would come up with a better disguise when he finds a watering hole to clean himself off. He later finds a watering hole and soaks his fur in the water until the sand gets out of his fur, cuts, and his mane. Then he managed to find some special golden powder that looked a lot like his fur and he applied it to the mark of the Guard and then he found some black stuff to place in his mane but he will not cover his fur completely or it will sting and then he hurried on his way going by Kopa.
