Teddi 8347-You will have to see. As for Zira, the story still follow the second movie. So Zira fell in the river.

Disgraceful Prince

Kari followed his mother's sent to the southern borders. The rain matted his golden fur so the prince quicken his pace. Kari leaped over a fallen tree that lead into a clearing. His heart began to race at the sight before his eyes. There were at least eight lions surrounding his mother with a tan lioness looking down on her. With a roar the young prince jumped in between with a snarl on his face to be greeted by the blue eyes of his aunt.

"Auntie Vitani?"

The tan laughed darkly which made the fur on the back of the teen's neck rise. A evil smile formed before the king's sister spoke. "In the flesh, lovely"

Kari's amber eyes widen before he shook his head. "Why?"

Vitani snickered before smirking. "Why not? My brother deserves to be king and this wench is standing in the way!"

Kari snarled. "You won't get away with this!"

Vitani laughed. "Oh. But I have"

With a flick of her tail the tan lioness turned and walked away as the eight lions attacked.

~O~

Kari fought the eight lions the best he could by himself. He shuddered at the thought of his father...who tought him how to fight. He had tooken out three and injured two. But it wasn't enough to kill them so he's fighting five lions which is a losing battle. The golden prince tripped and fell on his side. He was exhausted, he wasn't really prepared to battle like this. Kari looked up and seen the five lions stalk over. He swallowed whatever saliva he had and closed his eyes before hearing a ear splitting roar. Kari snapped his eyes open to see a dark golden lion and a creamy brown lion fight off the remaining five. The last thing he seen was three sets of familiar stormy sea eyes.

~O~

Kiara blinked her eyes open with a moan. She ached all over. Feeling someone looking at her the golden lioness turned to see her son looking at her.

"I'm glad you're awake"

Kiara smiled lightly. "What...did you follow me?"

Kari nodded and nuzzled his mother. "I couldn't let anything happen to you. Besides Kovu doesn't deserve to win"

Kiara frowned. "Sweetheart, he's still your father"

The golden teen growled. "No father of mine would send his sister and a group of lions to kill his former mate and son"

Kiara's ears fell but before she could say anything someone walked in the cave. Kiara and Kari looked up to see Kopa and Skye with her two cubs. One of the cubs, creamy brown ran over to Kari with her brother at her flank.

Kopa chuckled before turning to Kiara. "Can you move?"

Kiara's ears flickered. "I think so. Why?"

Kopa shared a look with the pale light brown lioness who smiled. Kopa looked back at his friend and grinned.

"There's someone who's dying to meet you"
