Zira and Simba circled each other; both were waiting for the other to make the first move. Both raised their claws ready to strike each other but Zira was too quick for Simba and she scratched him across the face with her claws just missing his eye. Simba leapt for her but she managed to dive out of the way just in time.
Zira laughed as she watched Simba haul himself off the ground. 'Keep fighting like that and you may as well surrender now.'
Simba dived for Zira again, this time he managed to catch her and the two were locked in a fight to the death. Both prides watched their leaders as they mercilessly clawed and bit each other. After a long gruelling battle Simba backed away battered, bruised and bleeding, Zira the same. Zira had taken many more blows than Simba; she collapsed onto the cold wet ground.
Simba approached Zira and looked over her as she lay in pain on the ground. 'Give up Zira.' He said without sympathy. 'You can't win.'
'Finish it!' She said in pain.
'No Zira. I'm not like you or Scar. I won't kill in cold blood.'
'Coward!'
Simba didn't say anything. He just turned away from her and walked away. Zira ignored the pain and slowly got to her feet. Simba turned back to her and at that moment Zira leapt at him. As Simba hit the ground he threw Zira off him in the same way as he had done to Scar. Zira cracked her skull open on a rock as she hit the ground and was killed instantly.
Simba hauled himself off the floor and turned his attention to the remaining outsiders. 'And as for the rest of you, the choice is yours.' He said in an angry tone. 'Either leave the Pride Lands or fight!'
The outsiders were not willing to let their leaders death be in vein. At once they charged the Pride Landers and the original fight between both prides resumed. Eventually the remaining outsiders were either killed or chased out of the Pride Lands for good.
Kiara returned with Kovu to find the battle over and her father injured and weak. Kiara tried to make one last plea with her father for him to reconsider Kovus exile but it was no good. Kovu was once again banished from the Pride Lands without any friend or family. Kiara was taken back to Pride Rock where she was kept under constant watch to ensure that she would never again run away; she hated her parents for their decision and never spoke to either of them again.
The End
