Lionesses ran down the hill the help Aria get the king up the rocks, Sara peaked her head out the cave and darted out "Huh?" Aya and Suza said confused, looking out "DAD!" The both yelled with their tears dissapearing like light, they quickly darted over to make sure he was ok "S.. Suka!" Ash smiled, nuzzling his son.
~The next day~
Suza yawned, it echoed through the cave, just like his father's, suddenly hid sister zoomed over like a wolf about to attack you, but she pounced on her brother "Stop yawning so loudly!" She said with a frown, but with a half smile on the right side of her mouth "OK. OK!" Suza laughed, pushing her off. Later, they trotted over to the exit of Priderock, but was stopped by a huge lion "And where do you think your going? Hmm?" The king said, looking down at his cubs with a eyebrow raised "Just the waterhole." Suza smiled innocently, along with his sister, Aya, grinning innocently (That sometimes failed). "Ok then, but I don't see whats so interesting about the water hole." He sighed, with a laugh then walking over to his mate while the cubs ran down Priderock down a hard-sandy road. "Where are we REALLY going?" Aya asked running down the road next to her brother "The Outlands!" He smirked "Oh yeah!" She smirked when they reached the Outlands they stood looking at it, complete silence. Suddenly the silence was gone "Lets go." Suza grinned evily walking in.
~Back at Priderock~
"I wonder whats so popular about the waterhole? Even the cubs went.." Ash moaned laying on his side. Quickly, Aria darted up looking down at her mate "D.. Did you say they went to the 'waterhole'...?!" She said a little worried "Yeeeaah... Why?" Ash asked sitting up. "From my smartness as a cub, cubs TRICK their parents into saying they've gone to the waterhole, when really they go to the Outlands!" Aria snapped, angry and worried at Ash "ASH!" She yelled, Ash's face casted with horror and he darted out of the cave "Ash stop! I'll go!" She said, darting off "Good luck, Aria!" He yelled down to her.
~Back at the Outlands~
"I wonder if anyone actually lives- Oh.." Suza said, his words faded into fear as Outlanders growled at the royals, suddenly a huge, pale lioness stepped out from the other smaller lionesses "Who the hell are you furballs?!" She roared in anger "S-Su-Su-" He stuttered but was interuptted "WE are the princess and prince of the Pridelands! I am Aya and that is the prince, Suza!" She snapped with her eyes closed and stood up proud. "HA! Prince? That so called 'Prince' wouldn't even survive as a elephant being attacked my a meerkat cub!" She laughed. Suddenly Suza let out his deep, loud roar "SHUT UP YOU LIL TERMITE!" He roared at the lioness. Everyone stared "YOU LITTLE BRAT!" She yelled swooping her paws out extending her claws about to hit Suza. Suddenly a huge roar, louder than Suza's casted as a lioness leaped over the cubs tackling the lioness "DO NOT ATTACK MY CUBS?! UNDERSTAND BRAT?!" The queen yelled, the Outlander's heart raced, but fought back, quickly the queen carved her claws down the lioness's forehead, causing her to roar and scream in pain. Slowly the queen let her go and put her cubs on her back, walking away slowly "Attack me again I'll tell everyone who I really am.. To you.." The lioness smirked and Aria stopped dead "You.. You wouldn't.." Aria stuttered, at that moment everyone was confused, even the lioness's followers, "Scarlet, what are you on about..?" One of the followers said "You have 10 seconds to get going before I tell EVERYONE who I really am. 1... 2... 3..." Scarlet growled smirking, Aria scooped up her cubs and ran to Priderock quickly, her heart racing, she was staring down at her claws shaking her head, then ran up Priderock, putting her cubs down and skidding into the cave and curling up. Ash hugged his cubs so hard then walked slowly to Aria "A.. Aria..?" She said softly nuzzling his mate "What?!" She snapped standing up frowning at Ash, he took a step back and noticed her claws "I see.. I guess I should let you be alone.." He said slowly, walking the edge of Priderock, Aria closed her eyes and let herself fall to the ground and fall asleep.
