Sandra stood with her mother, who was nuzzling Simba, lying on the ground. "Daddy, it can't be true," she said softly, hoping Gingka, who stood nearby, wouldn't hear. She could tell that he had though because of the look he gave her. She just ignored him. She pricked her ears as she heard the crowd animals below begin talk. She looked up to see Kyoya making his way through the crowd toward the bottom of Pride Rock. He had a fresh scar over his left eye and Sandra wondered what had happened but she didn't care. She was just happy to see him.
"Kyoya!" Sandra raced forward only to e stopped by her father, who roared and stepped in front of her. Kyoya stopped at the bottom of Pride Rock and looked up at Simba.
"What have you come back?" Simba asked in a growl.
"Simba, you've got to listen to me. I had nothing to do with-" Kyoya began.
"You don't belong here!" Simba growled.
Kyoya clenched his teeth and Sandra could tell he was doing his best to keep his temper under control. "Please. I ask your forgiveness."
"Daddy, please! Listen to him!" Sandra begged, knowing the Kyoya meant it. He never said please, or asked for anything without good reason.
"Silence!" Simba roared. Sandra took a step back in fear. Her father had never been this angry before as far as she knew. Simba turned back to look at Kyoya. "When you first came here you asked for judgement, and I pass it now!"
"Judgement! Judgement!" the crowd cheered. Sandra stood beside her mother, staring on in horror.
"Exile!" Simba roared.
"No!" Sandra exclaimed. She tried to make her way down to Kyoya, but some lionnesses blocked her way. "Kyoya!" Sandra watch wth horror as the animals chased Kyoya off. Once he was gone the animals relaxed. Sandra, however, couldn't stay silent. She went up to her father's side. "Father! Please! Reconsider!"
"You will not got anywhere without an escort from now on," Simba said, ignoring her pleads.
"No, that's not-" Sandra began.
"He used you to get to me!" Simba cut her off.
"No! He loves me! For me!" Sandra protested.
"Because you are my daughter!" Simba roared, turning on her. "You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep and eye on you, away from him!"
"You don't know him!" Sandra retorted.
"I know he's following in Scar's pawprints!" Simba argued, turning away from his daughter. "And I must follow in my father's."
"You will never be Mufasa!" Sandra wailed. Simba looked hurt, but Sandra didn't care. She ran into the den crying. She laid down at the back, not wanting to talk to anybody, but her friends soon came in.
"Sandra, are you alright?" Kenta asked.
Sandra didn't face them. She knew that Alex and Tsubasa were there and he didn't want to see them because they had recently started to gain feelings for each other.
"Sandra, I know it hurts, but he wasn't the right guy for you," Gingka soothed, his voice calm as if he felt sorry for her. Sandra almost fell for it until she detected the slightest bit of triumpth in his voice. She sat up and looked at him with ice cold eyes.
"Don't play that game with me!" she snapped. "You're not sorry he's gone! You never liked him, but you couldn't because you never gave him a chance!" She gazed around at her friends. "None of you did!"
"Sandra, please calm down! Everything is going to be fine!" Yu piped up.
"No! I won't calm down!" Sandra refused.
"Sandra," Gingka began, moving closer to her to try and nuzzle her. Before he could Sandra pinned him to the ground, baring her teeth in sadness and anger.
"Sandra! We're trying to help you! Stop fighting us!" Madoka begged.
"No! I won't stop fghting! Not as long as Kyoya is still treated like this! Until eveything has changed I will fight!" Sandra growled. She got off of Gingka as her friends took a step back from her. She then noticed light flittering in the back of the cave. Narrowing her eyes, Sandra pushed rocks out of the way until she made a hole she could fit through. She ran out in search of Kyoya. I'll prove them all wrong! Kyoya is no different than us!
