A/N: Again, sorry to make you wait. One of you was right about who that lion at the end was, but I'm not saying who it is now... Hope you enjoy the chapter. Thanks to those of you who have reviewed! :)
anonymous13: It would be nice if they were rid of Roka, wouldn't it. Their lives would be a whole lot easier... My chapters have been short for this story, it's just how this one worked out, but there is still one more chapter.
snheetah: I think it would be kinda hard to trap Roka, he's stupid, but not completely. He's also creepy, I can't emphasize that enough. Hope you like the chapter. :)
Chapter 5: Rescue
Nala wanted to puke. Kissing Roka was absolutely disgusting to her. "Water..." Nala said to herself as she walked away from Roka, who was taking a nap. "I need water." She kept walking until she saw a puddle in front of her. "Good enough!" she exclaimed as she stuck her face in the muddy water and drank it. After a few seconds she lifted up her head and spit the water out. "Ugh... I'm never kissing him again. Now, to go find Simba and the others." She began looking for the temple that her friends were being held prisoner in.
"Okay, it's out." Mheetu said as he looked at Kora's tail, which was badly singed.
"It still burns..." he complained.
"Suck it up." Sora told him. "It could be worse."
"Oh, yeah? What do you know about pain?" he asked. Sora just looked at him and pointed at his bad eye. "Oh... right..." Kora said.
"Alright, so what do we do now?" Simba asked. "We need to find a way out of here."
"I can handel those lionesses." Tora said as she headed for the exit, but Sora grabbed her tail and stopped her.
"Oh, no you don't." he told her. "There's two of them and one of you."
"The why don't you do something?" Tora asked. "You're the psycho one."
"Okay, first, it's psychic. Not psycho. Second, Roka said he has something to stop me and my guess is that it will hurt." Sora told her.
"Well, he's really going to hurt us if we don't get out of here." Mheetu said.
"Yeah, well, unless someone comes to rescue us, we're doomed." Kora said. "And he'll probably kill me first..." he added quietly.
Nala finally found the woods that the temple was in. She made her way through the thick foliage until she saw it. She walked up to it and climbed the steps that led to the entrance. When she reached the top the two lionesses guarding stopped her.
"Stop." one of them said. "What are you doing?"
"Roka wants too see his prisoners." Nala told them.
"Then why didn't he come here?" the guard asked.
"I don't know." Nala said. "He just told me to come and get them. You wouldn't want me to tell him that you disobeyed his orders, would you?" Nala was hoping this would get here in there.
"Fine." they said to her. "You may enter." They moved out of the way and she walked by them.
Nala walked to the back room where she saw the others all just sitting there looking depressed. "You all look upset." she told them.
They all looked in her direction. "Well, why would we be happy?" Simba asked. "Roka's going to kill us, and now you're in love with him."
"No, I'm not." Nala said. "Why would I be?"
"I don't know." Simba answered. "You're the one who wanted to make out with him."
"You think I enjoyed that?" Nala asked. "I wanted to throw up."
"Then why did you? Why didn't you stop him from taking us here?" Mheetu asked her.
"I had to get him to trust me." Nala answered. "Now, stop talking, we need to get you out of this place."
Nala led them all out of the temple. Sora was once again stuck carrying Simba.
"Finally, we can go home." Kora said.
"Uh... No we can't." Nala told him.
"What? Why?" Kora asked, disappointed.
"We have to confront Roka." she said. "If we don't do something about him, he'll just come back for me... He's also crazy."
"He can set stuff on fire!" Kora exclaimed. "There's no way we'll stop him!"
"Well, we have to try." Simba said. "I'm getting tired of that creepy weirdo."
"Alright..." Kora said, just wanting this all to stop.
Meanwhile, the cubs had no idea that they were being watched. The same lion from before was hiding in the woods. "It doesn't matter if you stop him or not." he said to himself. "You'll die either way." The lion's eyes were glowing a bright red as he growled, but stopped before he drew attention to himself. "I will have my revenge, and nobody can stop me."
A/N: And there it is! One more chapter to go and it will be up tomarrow, so be looking for it. This chapter seemed to be much easier for me to write than the others... Not sure why, but it was. I shall see you all tomarrow. Well, I'm going to finish watching the Notre Dame game. Thanks for reading and good evening (At least where I am).
