A/N: I finally found time to do this! I hate to make you guys wait, but school and other things have prevented me from doing this. Whenever I plan on working on it at school, I end up having something else to do... Well, enough complaining, let's get to the story! Thanks for reviewing

anonymous13: They do all seem to fall in love with Nala, don't they? She is a likable character.

the-mysterious-other: What if he wins and gets what he wants? I'm not giving anything away, but I will say that anything's possible.

snheetah: Yes, Roka seems to take after his father's personality.


Chapter 4: Playing with Fire

"So, tomarrow at sundown?" Roka asked Nala as the two walked out of the den.

"Sounds good to me." she answered.

"How about we go pay a visit to those miserable friends of yours?" Roka asked.

"Alright." Nala answered as she followed him.

The two cubs continued to walk until they got to a wooded area. "They'll be through here." Roka said as the walked into the dense weeds. After a few minutes they came up to what looked to be a very old temple. "And here it is." They walked up a small set of stairs that were carved into it. The lionesses that had taken Simba and the others were guarding the entrance. Roka and Nala walked by them and into the temple.

When the two cubs got in there, they came upon a room, where the frozen forms of Nala's friends were. Roka held a paw out to them and concentrated. The cubs began to thaw out.

"Woah..." Simba said. "That was weird."

"So, that's what it's like to be frozen." Kora said.

Tora and Mheetu both still felt cold. "T-this s-sucks" Tora said as she was shivering

Roka walked over to Kora. "Hey, Kora. I have a question for you." he told him. "Which do you think is cooler? Wind, water, or fire?"

"What are you doing?" Sora asked.

"Be quiet and let him answer." Roka told him before looking back at Kora. "Well, which one?

"Uh... fire?" Kora answered, not really sure what Roka was getting at.

"I couldn't agree more." Roka said as he held his paw out to Kora.

Kora looked confused and wasn't sure what Roka was doing. Then he smelled something burning. "What's that smell?"

"Kora!" Tora shouted. "Your tail's on fire!"

Kora turned and saw the fur on the tip of his tail burning. "Ahhhh! Hot! Hot!" he yelled as he began running around the room.

"Hahahaha! Too much for ya?" Roka laughed. "Here, let me cool you off." Roka closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, a cloud appeared right above Kora and started dumping rain on him. After a few seconds, the cloud disappeared.

Kora just stood there, drenched in water from head to tail. "Aww, man." he said. "Well, at least the fire's out."

Tora was now furious. "Roka, I'm going to tear your thr-" She was stopped by Sora as she tried to get to Roka.

"Tora, you saw what he did." Sora told her. "He's too dangerous."

"Fine." Tora said. "I'll get him eventually."

"Don't count on it." Roka said. "I have something very special planned for the you."

Nala looked at Roka. She didn't know he had something planned already. She thought she would be able to stall him for a little longer. "What?" she asked.

"Tomarrow at our wedding." Roka told her. "I'm going to kill them one by one after the ceremony in the most painful, torturous ways possible."

Nala was now really scared. She didn't know what to do. She would just take Roka down herself, but he would easily overpower her. This was bad.

"So, Nala." Roka said. "How about we ditch these losers and go make out?"

That idea made Nala want to puke, but she couldn't let Roka know she was against him, at least not yet. "Uh... Sure." she answered.

That answer left Simba with a look of shock. "What!" he yelled. "Nala, did he brainwash you or something?"

Roka looked over at Simba. "I haven't done anything, Simba." he said. "She realized who is the better cub on her own. Let's go Nala." He walked out of the room with Nala following behind.

The cubs just sat there in silence, but then they saw Roka come back in.

"Oh, before I go." he said as he held a paw out. The tip of Kora's tail suddenly caught on fire again.

"Ahhhh!" Kora yelled as he began running around the room.

"Hahahahaha!" Roka laughed as he ran out of the temple.


Outside the temple, a mysterious lion hid in some weeds, watching Roka and Nala walk away from the temple. "Roka..." the lion said to himself. "I told you not to waste time. The deal was you could keep the powers as long as you killed those cubs quickly." The lion turned to walk into the trees. "If that cub doesn't do it, I'll do it myself... and he'll go with them." The lion disappeared into the thick foliage.


A/N: And there you have it! Chapter 4! Tell me how you liked it in a review, I'm always happy to read them. Any gusses on who that lion was at the end? You may find out by the end of this story... I'll try not to make you wait so long this time, I hate waiting as much as you do.
