Aahhh the weekend. Thank you everyone for reviewing! I'm up to 26 reviews now. My whole art contest thing didn't go so well…nobody entered ( D: ) so I'm just gonna hold off on that and maybe try again some other time. Just as a heads-up chapter 20 is going to be a big one! I had one question so here is that:

Young gun kid- Will Sora ever go into Anti-Form?

Me- Probably not in this story…maybe in the sequel…oh god I just ruined that. Oops (YOU WILL NEVER GUESS MY ENDING THOUGH!) Go read the chapter before I spoil anything else!

*???*

"So they are really right there?" I asked, wonder and fury battling inside of me. I reached out to touch the image that was before me but I quickly drew my finger back when I saw the man who was sitting next to me frown disapprovingly. His opinion was the only one that mattered. Even if I was his closest ally he could still kill me immediately without a moment's hesitation. I wouldn't try to stop him because if by some miracle I killed him then the rest of my kind would tear me apart. That's how things went.

The image in front of me showed a world that was right by the entrance to our realm. It was a world where nothing but animals roamed, except these animals could talk with a human-like intelligence. There was a huge rock that was visible even from space. They were right there.

How did she survive?

The anger of the man sitting next to me shook my entire being and I wondered whether or not I should answer. I decided to answer

Do you want me to send someone after her?

Strictly to keep an eye on her, I will kill her personally, just not yet. If they are seen I will kill you along with them, and I would hate to lose my closest ally.

I stiffened at his words, had he been reading my thoughts? He must be getting more powerful than I suspected. I saw his hand lift and reflexively braced myself to be struck but he just motioned a few of his fingers harmlessly forward. Two figures emerged from the black corners of the room….

I have a job for you two.

Two twin smiles greeted his request.

*Kiara*

"Kovu!" I cried, once the battle had started Kovu had disappeared. Desperation raged inside my body-I didn't know how to fight! And we were losing. "Everybody stop!" I cried, trying to cling to those last traces of sanity I had. Everyone stopped and turned to me, much to my surprise. Then words bubbled up inside of me and I was speaking, words coming easily with ideas and thoughts. "Look at us-what difference to you see? Outlanders and those who live here in the Pride lands. We are all the same. Look around, what differences do you see?" I glanced towards my father, who was staring at me in wonder. "A wise king once told me that all things are one! And that everything is connected. I think that from now on there shouldn't be an Outland and a Pride land, instead there should be one shining kingdom in its place. Those of you who have never been exiled, can you forgive those who made a mistake and let them return home?" Everyone nodded, since the lionesses had showed up just a few minutes before. "Do those who have been exiled accept our apology? And wish to rejoin our pride?" One by one lionesses stepped closer to me and I realized that I couldn't tell the difference anymore. We were all one pride. Finally Vitani stepped over too, leaving Zira alone.

"You are all traitors! Traitors to Scar!" Zira cried. Simba stepped forward.

"Zira, this has to stop. I'm willing to forgive and forget if you are." Simba said, holding out his paw. Zira snarled and swiped his paw away.

"I will never forgive you for taking everything I have!" Zira yelled before running off. I ran after her without even thinking. I chased to where a large ravine was, packed with debris at one end. Zira came up from behind me and tackled me, sending us both rolling down towards the bottom of the ravine. About halfway down a piece of rock jutted out a few feet and when Zira and I ran into it I managed to catch my balance and stood up. Zira, on the other hand, went flying over the sides. I quickly looked down to see her clinging onto the side of the rock. Below her was empty space then the muddy bottom of the ravine.

Suddenly I heard an ear-splitting crack and looked up towards the debris-packed side of the ravine. The rain was causing the debris to begin to fall away! Then all the mud, and branches gave out, sending water pouring into the ravine-and it was coming straight for us! The dirty water surged forwards and I turned to run back up to safety, then I heard the sound of Zira's claws against the rock, she was slipping! I quickly reached my paw over the edge of the rock, straining to reach down as far as I could.

"Zira...take my hand" I gasped out, stretching my paw out to her. Zira refused, slipping down further. "Zira please. I can help you" I cried, I didn't want Zira to die; despite all of the things she did she didn't deserve to die. The water rushed by underneath us and Zira's eyes widened in terror. She reached her paw up to grab mine, but as she did her claws reached the end of the rock. With a look of terror and shock crossing her face she fell into the water below with a silent splash. Simba came down to where I was and I buried my face into his mane.

"I'm sorry Father. I tried"

*Lauren*

So now that everything was right again it was decided that we would head out. Walking would be pretty hard to get used to but I figured if I gave it a day or two I would get used to it again. Kovu and Kiara were given permission to be together, and Simba had destroyed all exile-related decrees that had happened. The Outlanders could finally come back to their pride. Sora said we would be heading to, what was it called, Atlantica! I'd heard of the place but so far had never actually been there. Something about it had kept me away but I couldn't remember what.

Everyone was celebrating back at Pride Rock but I had decided to go out and explore a bit more. The fact that half of me was missing bothered me to no end. I almost wanted to hear one of Fury's annoying and rude comments. I sighed

"By tonight I won't have to worry about that anymore." Suddenly I felt a cold feeling shoot through my body and my eyes widened in shock. I quickly shoved Fury out of my mind; they couldn't know about her, they just couldn't!

You two give yourselves away.

I could practically hear the two beings stiffen with shock, and then smirked as I heard them run away. I would have to be on my guard, if they found me nothing good would come of it. I started to head back towards Pride Rock, we would be leaving soon.

Then realization hit me right in the face: I was supposed to be dead. My first reaction was to run as fast as I could back to Pride Rock and have some sort of panic attack, which would cause us to leave right away. But then I stopped, and in spite of the dire situation, I started laughing.

"I'm supposed to be dead!" I rolled over on the ground, laughing as hard as I could. "He thought I was dead! All this time! Ooohhh he's gonna be mad!" I walked back the rest of the way to Pride Rock, laughing the entire time. Oh yeah he's gonna be pissed.

Shortest. Chapter. Ever. I was kind of in a tough spot since I was basing a lot of this off Lion King Two and there wasn't really much of it left after I finished the last chapter so I am just going to post chapter 19 sometime this weekend! Don't forget about this chapter's ending and beginning, even though they didn't make much sense. They will eventually and if people want me to I can add another excerpt from ???'s POV. If people liked it. Make a little note of how the people communicated-seem familiar at all? Ok that's all I'm giving away. Update very soon!
