Eventually, the sun began to rise, and Felicity watched as the sun came up with a small smile since she woke up much earlier than the others, and where as the sunlight shined in their eyes the others groaned as they woke up. Simon seemed to be the most grumpy.

"Morning already?" Vincent muttered.

"Apparently." Akito added before he saw Kion looking over to him.

"Akito, could I talk to you outside?" Kion asked.

"Oh, sure thing, Kion." Akito replied.

The two of them were soon outside and where Kopa was outside as well waiting for them.

"Kopa, what are you doing up so early?" Akito asked.

"We want to know something, Akito." Kopa said, referring to himself and Kion.

"Oh, boy..." Akito replied. "Well, what is it?" he then asked, though a little nervous since he didn't know what this was all about. He soon hoped they didn't hear about the nightmare he had last night and hoped they wouldn't bring it up, but unfortunately for him...

"You seemed to have had a rough night of sleep last night." Kopa said.

"Um, yeah, I think it was something I ate..." Akito chuckled nervously.

"So, something you ate made you have a nightmare about Scar and me using the Roar out of anger?" Kion asked.

"Well, I didn't wanna say anything, but... My sister and I have been having nightmares about Scar lately." Akito explained.

"You guys had the same dream?" Kopa asked.

"Well, we're twins," Akito reminded. "Anyways, we've been having nightmares about Scar, and where we don't know if they're nightmares or visions."

"Hmm... I see..." Kopa replied.

"Sorry, guys, I just didn't want you to worry about your great-uncle." Akito told them.

"We'll have to talk to Rafiki about this." Kion said.

"That makes sense, he is pretty wise." Akito replied.

"Also, that way, you can meet Makini." Kion gave a small smile to lighten the mood.

"Yeah... That sounds nice..." Akito nodded to that idea.

Kion and Kopa smiled to that.

"Uh, you're not mad I kept this secret from you, are you?" Akito asked.

"Not mad... Just... A little upset that you didn't tell us about it." Kopa replied.

"I didn't want to tell you unless I was sure it really was a vision." Akito frowned.

"I see..." Kopa replied.

"Do you think maybe we could talk to Rafiki about this?" Akito asked. "He won't mind, right?"

"I don't think so." Kopa said.

They soon rushed to Rafiki's tree. Rafiki was seen meditating as they came to see him.

"Rafiki!" Akito called out.

Rafiki soon opened one eye.

Akito came to see the baboon. "Um, sorry if I'm interrupting..." he said to him.

"Hi, Akito!" Makini smiled brightly and excitedly.

"Oh... Hi," Akito smiled back. "You remind me of a friend of the family's: Princess Skystar."

"Ooh, she must be really energetic like me!" Makini smiled back.

"She really is." Akito chuckled.

"Can I help you, Akito?" Rafiki asked.

"Oh! Um... Well... I actually needed to ask you something." Akito said once he remembered why he came there.

"Really? What did you need to ask me?" Rafiki asked.

"It's about a nightmare I keep having or a vision." Akito said.

"I see..." Rafiki replied.

"Did you eat too many bananas before bed?" Makini asked Akito. "That happens to me sometimes."

"No, Makini, I didn't eat too many bananas." Akito rolled his eyes slightly.

"So in this nightmare or vision, what happened?" Rafiki asked.

Akito soon looked over, unsure if Makini should be around or not.

"Do you want her to go?" Rafiki asked about his apprentice.

"If you don't mind... I don't wanna scare her." Akito replied.

"I see," Rafiki replied. "Makini, could you maybe go to the watering hole a while?" he then asked.

"Okay, Rafiki." Makini smiled as she went off to the watering hole.

"Why does she have to go to the watering hole?" Akito asked.

"Keeping her busy," Rafiki gave a small smirk. "Now, tell me... What's on your mind?"

"Well... It starts out as a normal day in Pride Rock... It feels like nothing can go wrong, but then, that's when 'it' happens." Akito explained.

"Sounds like how any nightmare would start out." Rafiki shrugged.

"Scar keeps telling me and my sister that he's coming back, and we won't be able to stop him, like he's found a way to come back from the dead." Akito frowned about the evil lion that luckily he, Estelle, Vincent, Felicity, and Simon never got to meet as they hadn't been born yet.

"So that's why we came to you; to see if his nightmares are just nightmares or are visions." Kopa said.

"I see..." Rafiki replied. "I'm not sure myself, but Akito, please step over, and I'll take a look inside of your mind."

"Gross." Akito winced at first, taking that a bit literally.

"Not in the way you are thinking." Rafiki told him.

"Oh..." Akito replied.

"Let's go into your mind..." Rafiki said. "Close your eyes, and think calm thoughts..."

Akito soon began to meditate and did what he was told to.

"Go to a calm and quiet place you feel comfortable in..." Rafiki advised.

Akito soon began to do that as his mind took him to a place he felt comfortable in.

He soon woke up and found himself on a beach, and there next to him was Emi with a smile with her head bowed and her eyes closed.

"Where are you? "Rafiki's voice asked him.

"It looks like the Orange Islands." Akito replied, through the meditation.

"The Orange Islands?" Rafiki's voice asked him.

"Yeah, it's where I first met my girlfriend, Emi." Akito smiled through the meditation.

"Hmm... Interesting..." Rafiki's voice replied. "This must be your happy place."

Emi soon opened her eyes and smiled to Akito which made him smile back at her. It almost seemed like nothing could possibly ruin this moment.

"You're no match for me~..." Scar's voice mocked.

"Here too?" Akito asked as he soon glared out of annoyance while Emi looked scared at first.

"I knew you would be trouble as soon as you helped Kion find his roar." Scar glared as he appeared in the clouds like when Mufasa motivated Simba to come back to Pride Rock to defeat him.

"You'll never come back from the dead, Scar; I'll make sure of it!" Akito told him as he protected Emi.

"You can always try, but you might fail, and then everyone will hate you." Scar grinned darkly.

"I'm not letting you get to me, Scar." Akito glared.

"You don't even belong in Pride Rock," Scar glared back. "The jungle is no place for a human."

"Yeah, well, Mowgli proved that wrong, and I'll prove you wrong once I find a way to stop you." Akito retorted.

"You can try, but you'll only fail," Scar smirked. "Besides, it's not like you have any magic to stop the Roar."

"Oh, yeah?" Akito smirked about the mention of magic. "You wanna bet?"

Scar saw that smirk and soon replied with his own smirk as the area soon changed. "I might as well give you some advice just to see how amusing this will be." Scar smirked.

Akito soon looked around as the area changed from the peaceful Orange Islands. Scar soon came down in his living form with his brown fur and black mane along with his yellow and green eyes, one of them having the scar which was how he earned his nickname.

"I shall tell you how to stop the Roar." Scar smirked.

Akito just growled at the evil lion. "You're just a black-hearted monster!"

"Do you want me to come back?" Scar smirked. "And have the entire Pridelands burn?"

Akito soon turned into a lion cub while glaring at Scar. "Who would want you back?" he then huffed. "Maybe those hyenas and Outlanders who followed you while you went insane."

"I DID NOT GO INSANE!" Scar glared from that.

"You were going to cause the entire pride to starve instead of leaving Pride Rock to search for a better place to live with plenty of prey to hunt for!" Akito told him.

"I'm a better king than my brother was." Scar glared.

Akito soon glared back and tackled Scar with his full strength he had inherited from birth, but he stopped himself as he remembered what happened last time. "No, you weren't," Akito told him. "You were a tyrant; you cared more about being king than about your own pride of lions."

"I was the King, I could do whatever I wanted, everybody needs a ruler, you should know better." Scar glowered.

"You were a terrible king!" Akito glared. "The pride was almost starving to death! The only one crazy enough to still follow you is even crazier!" he then added about Zira.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY SUCH A THING ABOUT ZIRA!" Scar told him.

"I just did!" Akito glared. "You're both crazy! You can't hide from the truth, Scar!"

Scar glared back as he was angered with Akito. "I can not wait to see you fail." he then growled.

"You're the one who will fail!" Akito glared. "You should give up now!"

"Never." Scar glared back.

"Fine, if you won't give up, I'm not giving up either," Akito glared. "You'll never win, Scar! Not you, not Zira, or even Janja and his friends!"

Scar simply growled before vanishing.

Akito narrowed his blue eyes. Emi came to him and hugged him.

"Thanks, Emi, even if you aren't the real one..." Akito said to her, patting her hands in the hug. "I'll make sure Scar doesn't try to ruin the Pridelands again. THIS I SWEAR!" he then proclaimed.

Soon enough, he woke up from his meditation.

"It appears you had a vision within your nightmare to warn you about Scar's possible return." Rafiki said to Akito once he woke up.

"And where that meditation gave me the answer to stop it is to use magic against the Roar if Kion ever uses it out of anger." Akito said.

"I'm glad you've found the answer, even if it was inside of you all along, even when you came for help." Rafiki smiled.

"You would be a millionaire if you worked a fortune cookie factory." Akito smirked, a little jokingly.

"What's a fortune cookie?" Kopa asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Akito said before explaining. "It's this little cookie in a pack you get in Chinese food boxes that has a piece of paper in it that gives you advice and lucky numbers."

"Sounds interesting." Kopa said.

"It can be," Akito replied. "Anyway, thanks, Rafiki, I really needed that."

"Just remember, the journey of a million miles always beings with the first step." Rafiki stated.

"Wow, you really are a walking fortune cookie." Akito smiled.

"Run along now." Rafiki smiled back to him.

Akito smiled and then left with Kion and Kopa once he felt more motivated after the meditation session. He decided to put what he learned into good use.

"So, Akito, you're gonna use magic against our great-uncle?" Kopa asked.

"I guess I have to now." Akito nodded.

"How are you gonna do it?" Kion asked.

"It's what you're gonna help me with actually, and I'm going to help you with." Akito replied.

"Really?" Kion asked.

"Yeah, but it'll take some practice which I might need your help with and we'll need to be alone to do it." Akito said.

"Hm... I see..." Kion replied. "Sounds like a lot of hard work, but if you're willing, I guess I am too."

"That means you'll need to use the Roar while I use magic against it so then we're ready if you do ever use it out of anger even by accident." Akito said.

"Is your magic powerful enough?" Kion asked.

"There's only one way to find out, Kion." Akito replied, bravely.

"Alright, then we better get started." Kion said.

"Great! Come with me." Akito replied.

Kion then followed Akito to the campsite that he set up with his cousins and siblings as he soon opened up his backpack to take out his spell book. Once he got the spell book, they took off.

"Oh, that looks so exciting." Makini giggled as she saw them in the distance.

"Makini!" Rafiki's voice called out.

"Huh? Oh! Coming!" Makini replied and soon went to her mentor once she was called.

Once they were alone, it was safe for Akito and Kion to work.

Akito cracked open his book and skimmed through the spells on the contents page and he soon went to the spells that related to control in a force of nature, such as a lion's roar. "And Bingo was his name-o." he then smiled.

"Uh, who's Bingo?" Kion asked out of confusion.

"Don't worry about it," Akito rolled his eyes slightly. "Anyways, let's get started."

Kion then smiled.

"All right, do a simple roar..." Akito said before looking around and found a gecko crawling across the ground. "Try and scaring that gecko away."

"Sounds easy enough." Kion smiled.

Akito nodded with a smile back. Kion soon began to roar at the gecko to scare it away, giving a quiet, though still effective roar, and where the gecko did get scared by it.

Akito watched that and made note of it. He then took out a thorn and came up to Kion. "Sorry about this by the way." he said.

"Uh, what?" Kion asked.

Akito didn't say anything else and soon shoved the thorn in Kion's paw to make him roar which did the job. "Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm..." Akito nodded as he took notes on Kion's reaction.

"Was the thorn really necessary?!" Kion glared.

"You animals really hate thorns in the paw, don't you?" Akito replied.

Kion soon took the thorn out and poked it in Akito to show him how it felt.

"A thorn... In my butt cheek..." Akito muttered like Maui.

"How does that feel?" Kion asked.

"Not too bad..." Akito said before taking the thorn out. "Hey, I said sorry in advance!"

"Hmph." Kion just firmly pouted.

"Okay, okay." Akito said.

Kion growled to him. "You're lucky you're my friend."

"Yes, I am," Akito replied. "Now... Let's hear that big and loud roar that we learned about... The Roar of the Elders."

Kion nodded as he got some distance so it wouldn't be too close.

"So, whenever you're ready." Akito said.

"I just hope you don't get hurt." Kion replied.

"Don't worry," Akito told him. "I'll be fine."

Kion nodded. Akito soon walked up for a moment and pulled off a whisker and then backed up. Kion soon growled and roared out of both pain and anger, but that was the point, and eventually, the Roar of the Elders was then released.

Akito watched that and soon took notes before flipping to the page and held out his right hand. "'Lions, tigers, and bears galore, Minimize the impact of the roar'!" he then recited the spell he was supposed to use and used his magic to help Kion with the roar, and where the spell began to work its magic against the Roar.

Kion and Akito's abilities soon collided together, but the magic was stronger than the roar, and nothing bad seemed to happen.

"No earthquakes and no trees are sent flying, looks like it worked." Kion smiled.

"Of course it did," Akito smiled. "Magic is quite powerful. I can't wait to learn more when I become a teenager."

"Looks like Scar won't be coming back any time soon." Kion smiled back.

"Yep," Akito smiled. "Now we can have a real vacation."

"With the hyenas around, that won't be easy." Kion said.

"Yeah, that's true, but I'll help you and the Lion Guard keep track of them." Akito promised.

"You seem to always be determined against any challenge," Kion smiled. "Too bad you can't live here forever."

"Yeah, well, I do have my family to think about and my girlfriend," Akito said. "And there's also my pet."

"I guess that's true, I should just accept seeing you whenever I can." Kion replied.

"That's right..." Akito nodded. "We'll make the most of the visits that we can."

"That's right." Kion smiled.

"Also, maybe Makini should meet the Lion Guard." Akito suggested.

"Huh... That does sound kind of nice." Kion had to admit.
