The Lion King 3: The Dark Pride(Chapter 6)

Disclaimer: I don't own lion king, but I do own Kanaka, Kodda and Teeka!

Authors Note: Some of it is a bit brutal, but I tried to make it as good as possible. Anyway, on with the story!

It was now early afternoon as Kodda and his lionesses had brought Kiara, along with Starlight and Vitani, and put them in a empty cave.

After awhile Vitani started to wake. As she opened her eyes, she was very dazed and felt very dizzy from the blow Kodda gave her earlier. She groaned slightly and asked quietly, "Where am I?"

She looked around trying to get her eyes adjusted and saw that she was in a empty cave. It was very dry and warm in the cave, as her tanish fur was getting damp, she slowly got up on her paws and walked slowly further back into the cave and saw two figures on the ground, not moving. She squinted her eyes and finally noticed who they were.

She gasped a little and said quietly, "Kiara, Starlight?

She then quickly walked over to them and she lowered her ear to Kiara's mouth to see if she was alive, she was. So she walked towards Starlight to see if she was breathing, she to was alive, though she gasped and saw that Starlight's neck was still a bit bloody.

As soon as Vitani started to panic, she heard a voice speak, "Well, I see that you are finally awake.

Vitani snarled and asked, "What did you do to her?"

Kodda smirked and replied, "Well, let's see, I was planing earlier today on how to get the Pridelands, so when I came up with the idea that I would steal Kiara and bring her here and when Simba and Kovu would find out, the only way they would be able to see Kiara alive again was to give me the Pridelands and I'de eventually kill them so I could rule, if they wouldn't I'de kill Kiara and then I would take the Pridelands by force, killing Simba and Kovu right after Kiara."

He continued, "So, I assembled a team of lionesses and once everyone would be gone, I'de steal Kiara and take her for myself, but when I arrived, I saw that stupid Pridelander friend of yours and so I attacked her and eventually knocked her out cold by crushing her leg and sinking my teeth into her neck. Then you came in and I was forced to knock you out cold. Once you were unconscious, I walked towards Kiara and felt this strange feeling when I looked at her, I wondered if Kovu had felt the same way when he looked at her. Then another idea popped up, I would steal Kiara and once Kovu and Simba were dead, she would be with me for as long as I would rule. So, we started to leave, but then thought that if we left you there, you would tell the stupid Pridelanders, Kovu and Simba, where we took you, so we decided to take you along so you couldn't tell them."

Vitani grew even angrier, snarling dangerously and said, "You will never rule rogue, and what makes you think that Kiara would want to rule with you?"

Kodda growled a little when she called him 'rogue,' so he spat, "It's none of your business pathetic Outsider, I'm the one in charge, and you will do what I say and when I say, got it!"

Vitani's eyes snapped at him with fire in them when he called her an 'Outsider,' so she leapt at him, but Kodda slammed his paw once again into her face and she hit the ground hard. She weakly got to her paws and said, "You know...If you don't give Kiara and Starlight some medicine for their wound, they could very well die."

Kodda smiled evilly and replied, "What makes you think I care about that stupid Pridelander friend of yours, I don't care if she dies. Besides, that's how I like Pridelanders, dead. Kiara's going to survive, I can guarantee you that."

Vitani yelled, "Don't you dare talk about them that way you pathetic rogue. You'll be sorry you ever did this and..."

But Vitani wasn't able to finish as he slammed his paw into her face and she was immediately knocked out cold. Kodda just smirked as he saw Vitani's eyes closed and fell unconscious and then walked away.

Back in the Pridelands, Kovu and Simba had just noticed that Kiara, Starlight and Vitani were gone. So Kovu had figured that they were probably taken to the Outlands, so he gathered a team of five lionesses to go with him to the Outlands and Simba gathered another team of five lionesses to go with him and search. Kovu would search on the south side of the Outlands and Simba's team would search on the northern side.

So, very cautiously, they entered the Outlands. Simba's group split up from Kovu's group and went to search up on the northern side. So, after awhile of searching, some of the lionesses were asking Kovu, "Um, Kovu, since we are not having any luck, could we go back? I'm getting a bad feeling that something bad might happen soon."

But as Kovu turned around to answer, he was met with a huge blow to the head and was immediately knocked out cold. Just then, the five Pridelanders were surrounded with no other choice but fight. One of the Pridelanders asked another Pridelander, "What do we do now? We are good as dead."

But before she could answer, the rogues began attacking the five Pridelanders. One of the rogue lioness' jumped at a Pridelander and slammed her paw into her face and she went sprawling across the ground. But before she could get up, another lioness jumped at her and sunk her teeth deep into her chest aggressively, causing blood to rush out of the wound! As she roared in pain, another lioness came and pinned her and sunk her teeth into the Pridelanders neck as soon enough her eyes widened one last time then her head fell onto the ground with blood running out of her mouth and died. The lioness removed her jaws from the Pridelanders throat and got of her as puddles of blood was forming underneath the dead Pridelander.

Just then, another rogue lioness named Teeka jumped on the Pridelanders' back and started clawing at her and chewing into her neck. As blood began pouring down her neck, the Pridelander roared in pain but was unable to throw the lioness off her. She felt herself grow weaker and weaker and fell to the ground dead, her mouth opened slightly with blood continuing to run out of her mouth. The lioness removed her jaws from the dead Pridelanders' neck and smiled with blood dripping from her muzzle.

Three lionesses then ran at another Pridelander named Sina and pinned her to the ground. One of the lioness' sunk her teeth into both of her forelegs, the second ones sank her teeth into her chest and Teeka gripped her teeth into Sina's neck. The Pridelander roared in pain, but that only made the lionesses sink their teeth into her body deeper. As puddles of blood formed beneath her body, her eyes widened and her head dropped to the ground, blood running out of her mouth. But to make sure the Pridelander was truly dead, Teeka twisted and broke Sina's neck. The lionesses smiled at each other, blood dripping from their mouths, and walked away.

Then the rogue saw a Pridelander named Kanaka run at her, but before she got to her, the lioness slammed her paw into her mouth and broke Kanaka's jaw and she hit the ground hard and didn't move. But just as the lioness was about to kill her, Kovu tackled her to the ground and sunk his large teeth into her neck and soon enough, the lioness died. Kovu then let out a dangerous roar, which surprisingly made the other remaining rogue lionesses run away.

Kovu then looked around him and saw that all of his lionesses were dead. Each lioness had their bodies covered in blood and dirt. He then walked towards Kanaka to see if she was alive, she was but her breathing was slow, and she had suffered a broken jaw.

Shortly after the fight, Simba and his group heard Kovu's roar and finally arrived, but to only find a horrifying site, Kovu's group of lionesses were dead with blood, grass and dirt covering their bodies.

Simba then asked, "What happened?"

Kovu answered sadly, "We were attacked. I'm not sure of all what happened because I was knocked unconscious during the fight, but it seems like all of my lionesses are dead. Though I was able get to Kanaka in time and save her, but she has suffered a broken jaw and needs to see Rafiki as soon as possible."

Kovu paused, but then said, "Simba, could you and your lionesses take my group of lionesses back and make sure Rafiki sees Kanaka right away?"

"Sure, but aren't you coming."

"No, I'm going to go and find my sister, my mate and Starlight and bring them back, even if it kills me."

"But Kovu, you could..."

"No Simba, I'm not leaving until I find them and bring them back."

Simba finally nodded and told his group to take the lionesses and Kanaka back to Pride Rock. Simba looked back and said, "Kovu, take care of yourself and bring back my daughter, your sister and Starlight, okay."

Kovu sighed and responded, "I will.

As Simba nodded, he saw Kovu walk away into the shadows until he couldn't see him anymore.

Well, what did you think? I was a little quicker this time but I tried my best to make it as good as possible, okay.:)

Anyway, I'm not sure when my next Update will be, but I'll try to Update ASAP, okay.:)

But for now, Please R&R!!
