The Lion King III: An Unexpected Life
Chapter 2
Someone Ignored the Warning
*In the human world*
Guardian Saint and Aggregate Dragon thought that fellow author S. Amazon was just talking a lot of hooey. Magic portals couldn't just pop out of the blue on TVs... could they? What Guardian Saint and Aggregate Dragon didn't know that VHS tapes of Disney Movies contained Disney magic, and most copies were not able to contain it, should the tape not be stopped and rewound before the end credits finished. Being a fan of the Lion King franchise themselves, Gaurdian and Dragon gave it a shot. They watched the movie and were waiting. When the end credits rolled through, nothing happened. Guardian turned away, not knowing there was a slight blackout delay. Then as Guardian's back was turned Dragon saw what was happening and tried to grab Guardian's attention. What had happened to S. Amazon was now happening again, and before there was time to react, a ball of magic hit Guardian And Dragon square in the face, knocking them sensless, and with no one else in the house, they were soon swallowed by the portal with no recollection of the incident, and the portal closed, the tape stopped, and then it rewound for another round once again.
*At Pride Rock*
Even though Nala had advised Vitani many times to take it easy like Kiara, Vitani had her stubborn nature about her, which reminded Nala more of herself then of Zira. Vitani had also been pregnant with the cubs of a nice rouge who only visited to pay respect to his king, before he had to take off again. He said he may come by again, but that was months ago. Now her stubborness came back to bite her in the tail. For as soon as she had fetched two small gazzel calves for Kiara, she went into labor, Nala thankfully had been close by, and soon Kovu and Kiara were moved out so that the little ones could still rest. Jaha, a pale cream lioness with small pale cream fur on her head and pale blue eyes, helped Nala to get Vitani through labor. She was more furocious then her new sister. Soon, like Kiara, Vitani gave a roar that echoed through the Pridelands, as two cubs were now introduced into the world.
A moment ago, they had been two humans who had ignored the warning of their missing friend. But now, they had no recollection of anything that had happened before opening their eyes as the were encircled by Vitani's forepaws They first saw each other as tiny little balls of fluff. One saw a cub with a russet brown pelt and tan muzzle, throat, paws, and inner thighs, and had a black tail tuff. She had a small amount russet brown fur sticking out on her head, much like their new mother and had amber eyes. The other saw a cub with tannish brown fur and a black tail tip, and a nose that resembled their new mother. They turned to Vitani when she said, "Hello there my little Aasim and Sharise," Vitani said.
"Oh, such beautiful names for your daughters Tani," Jaha said.
Jaha's son, Jeremiah, who had rich cream with a light brown tuff on his head and bluish eyes, and was only a couple days old himself, got curious about the two new balls of fur between Auntie Tani. He reached in, and tumbled over Vitani's leg, and his nose touched Sharise's nose. "Hmhm, looks like Jeremiah found his mate," Vitani said.
"Indeed, but I think they're a little young to be thinking about having cubs of their own," Jaha said, and she and Vitani shared a chuckle.
Soon Kiara and Kovu walked in with their cubs. Kovu carried Luri and Kujo with him, while Kiara, now having become the overprotective one, carried Chad. She set them down close to Sharise and Aasim, and the two sisters thought something looked familiar about Chad, even though this was their first time seeing him. Chad had the same thought as them, and fought his way to crawl over to his new cousins. They saw he was struggling to them, so the decided to meet him three quarters of the way. "Not even a day old and these three are already the adventurous ones," Kiara said.
"Hmhm, they get that from you and me Kiara," Vitani said.
"That they do," Kiara said, knowing that even though it was Kovu she had bumped into on her adventure to the Outlands as a cub, it had ben Vitani who went to explore first and Kovu went after Vitani said it was safe for him when they were cubs.
Simba soon walked in a nuzzled his mate. "Five grandchildren in one day. The Great Kings of the Past have truely blessed us," Simba said.
"Don't feel too blessed yet. Three of them seem to have inherited your adventurous spirit honey," Nala teased.
"Say it ain't so!" Simba joked.
"Hehehe. Oh, de Pridelands have gained a new generation Rafiki sees," the wise old baboon babbled.
"Hello old friend. Seems word never fails to reach you, does it," Simba said.
"Like I have said to you, your father, and your grandfather, Rafiki always gets de news in many ways," Rafiki replied.
"Indeed you do. I suppose tomorrow, you will present all of them tomorrow," Nala guessed.
"Yes, de Pridelands will be so joyfull to see de new generation," Rafiki replied.
"And here I thought I would not live to see my great-grandkids," Sarabi chimed in.
"Mom, you know you have years to go before your time," Simba said.
"So you noticed," Sarabi said.
"Well, I do apologize for dampering the atmosphere a bit, but, Rafiki, I am conserned about my little Chad," Kiara said.
She explained what seemed to be causing Chad issues, and Rafiki examined the youngest prince. "Hmmmmm, well, I can say it won't cause any major problems. He will still be able to walk, but he'll be limping when he does for a bit. As he gets stronger, it won't be a bother so much, but don't be too surprised if he trips when he tris to run," Rafiki informed her.
Kiara was releaved Chad was still able to walk, but she still felt that she needed to keep an eye on him since he would limp for most of his cubhood. She soon nuzzled him lovingly as Rafiki left to prepare the presentation and Chad giggled, grabbing onto his mother's muzzle. Kiara smiled, seeing his joyful face was enough to take her mind off the worry she felt for him. Soon Aasim and Sharise joined in the fun and nibbled on the Aunt Kiara's ears. "Hmhmhm, looks like they have fighting spirits, they're already trying to take down their own aunt at their age," Kiara giggled.
"Alright you two, Aunty Kiara is not a chew toy," Vitani said as she grabbed each of her daugthers and set them by her side, already hearing their rumbling tummies.
They soon latched on and moments later, Kiara heard little Chad's tummy rumble. "I think my little Chad didn't finish his lunch," Kiara chuckled.
She soon set Chad next to her side and he proceed to nurse for the rest of his meal. Kujo and Luri had taken the liberty of pulling on their dad's mane. Jaha took Jeremiah and set him between her paws making him giggle as she gave him another bath.
*Meanwhile at the home of Rafiki*
Rafiki had just been informed of two more humans from another dimention that were brought to the bodies of Vitani's daughters. "Humans? In de Pridelands? Dey must learn de way of de pride? ARE YOU CWAZY?! DIS WILL NEVEW WORK! Oh Uru and Mufasa, now you've really been up der to long, YOUR HEAD IS IN DE CLOUDS!" He bellowed.
Soon Uru used the wind to whack rafiki in the head. "OKAY! I don't think dis is going to work, but once again, I trust you. I Just Hop You Know What You Are Doing!" Rafiki called to them.
They blew an angry gust in reponse. "Hey, dat's uncalled for, it was your idea," Rafiki argued.
End of Chapter 2. Hope you all enjoyed it. I thank you for all those who commented and private messaged me with names and comments. I will go through the lists and see which ones I think can fit with my story. Now, I have one question. Should I have them all age as fast as humans in this story, or should they age normally?
On another note, I warned them and they didn't listen and now two fellow authors are in the same boat as me. Why do I feel Rafiki knows something about all of this that he's not revealing. I mean, it seems great-grandpa and great-great-grandma have control right now, but I have a feeling he had a hand in this, or was it a paw in this? Anyways, let me know what you think. I'll update when I can. Stay tuned.
Sharise: I hope sometime in the future, we all remember what happened.
Aasim: Well, at least we weren't left out in the Savannah by ourselves in this story.
Chad: Well, at least you don't have to deal with a bum leg.
Aasim: It will heal in time. Besides, I have feeling your not the only one who has problems in the pride.
Chad: I doubt it.
