It was early morning and Kion woke up to hear thundering and rain.
''Oh..It's raining.'' Kion grumbled as he walked out of a cave he and his friends found in the outlands.
''You know what my uncle's say...Hakuna Matata.''' Bunga said to Kion.
''Rainstorm's can cause floods,Bunga.'' Kion reminded the honey badger sternly
''Oh...right.'' Bunga said while chuckling.
Both friends then enjoyed the rain as it is.
''Umm...Kion?'' Bunga said and Kion turned to his friend.
''What is it,Bunga?'' Kion asked
''There's this girl that I met in my uncle's forest that's a honey badger too..I don't know if I should..'' Bunga explained and Kion smiled.
''Bunga,when we get back to the pridelands,i'll help you talk to her..ok?'' Kion told his best friend,who grinned.
''Really?'' Bunga asked and Kion nodded,''cool!''
''Yes...well,get everyone up so we can keep moving.'' Kion told Bunga,who rushed into the cave.
Meanwhile in Zira's territory…
''Perfect...they are getting closer..'' Zira said while grinning madly..this plan was working perfectly!Capturing someone that Kion cares about would surely draw the Prince of the Pridelands in.
Janja then walked over to Zira.
''Janja..has she broken yet?'' Zira asks and Janja shakes his head.
''For the youngest in the pridelands,she's one tough girl..we've done everything,but she won't say anything.'' Janja explained.
''In order to test Kion and his friends..send Vitani and Nuka to your territory.'' Zira ordered and Janja nodded,then dashed to the termite mounds as Zira looked at the sun that turned the sky blood red.
Zira then walked over to a termite mound where a teenage lion layed.
''If Vitani and Nuka are defeated,then you are up...Kovu.'' Zira said darkly as she entered the mound.
Meanwhile with a battered tiifu..
''My head is ringing..im sore everywhere..but hey,could have been worse.'' Tiifu said to herself
''Life is a circle untold..that's what Kion once told me..and I will stand by that forever….for me...for him..for the pridelands.'' Tiifu whispered,''If I can make it back..hurry,Kion..''
meanwhile,with Kion and his friends,they were running up a cliff.
''Flat ridge rock will give us a good view of Zira's territory,but it will still take a while to get there.'' Kion said as Bunga jumped on tree branches to get up top,''Bunga,do you see anything?''
''a bunch of termite mounds,but nothing we can't handle.'' Bunga said
''That's right..Zira and her lionesses always sleep in termite mounds.'' Kion said to his friends as Bunga jumped on Kion's head,hithing a ride on the Lion,''Well..let's go.''
They then continued travelling through the Outlands,each foot closer to their goal...each foot closer..to Tiifu.
