snheetah: Yes, Sora's legacy certainly will live on... And just think of all the grandchildren he'll have some day.

Chapter 4: The Solution

"I can't believe it..." Angani said with angry look on her face. She and Mkali had found their future selves, but it wasn't what they had expected.

"What's wrong?" Adult Angani asked.

"What's wrong!?" Angani shouted angrily. "You two! That's what's wrong!"

"I was quite the little spitfire, wasn't I?" Adult Angani said, looking to the lioness next to her. It was Mkali.

"I just wish these little brats would leave us alone." Adult Mkali said. "They are really starting to get on my nerves."

"Don't be rude!" Adult Angani scolded.

"Hm..." cub Mkali said. "It seems that our personalities rubbed off on each other after awhile."

"So, I grow up to be some big-hearted buffoon?" Angani asked. "Wonderful!"

"Do you want me to tell you about the time I saved a group of baby ostriches from a fire?" Adult Angani asked.

"Ahhhh! Make it stop!" Angani shouted.

"Hey, you two." Kula said as she and Kora walked over. "We think we might know a way to get back."

"Thank the Kings!" Angani exclaimed. "Let's get out of here, Mkali."

"Come back anytime!" Adult Mkali told them.

Adult Mkali glared at her, "Don't encourage them!" she spat.

"Don't worry." cub Angani said. "We won't come back."

"Alright." Kora said. "Have you guys seen Simba and Nala anywhere?"

"I think I saw them head towards the Outlands." Mkali said.

"Let's get out there then." Angani said. "When we get back home, I'm going to find that dope that sent us here in the first place and rip the eyes straight out of his skull."

"Ah, Angani." Kora said. "So feminine."

"Can it." she said. "Let's go."

"Dang." Kovu said. "You guys have been through a lot."

"Yes," Simba said, "but luckily, I was there to save us every time."

"Excuse me?" Nala said, giving him a funny look. "What about the rest of us that were there?"

"Oh, and they helped... a little." he added.

Nala was about to say something, but was stopped when she heard Kora's voice.

"Finally." he said. "We found you. Come on, we found someone who can help us get back to our own time."

"Really?" Nala said. "What are we waiting for!"

Kiara turned to Kovu. "I'll see you later, I'm going with them. They may need some help."

"Alright." Kovu replied. "See you tomorrow."

"Lead the way." Simba said to Kora.

When Simba and the others returned to where Sora, Akili, Tora, and Mheetu were, they saw that Kulaani and Vitani had arrived.

"Good to see ya!" Kulaani exclaimed. "Are you guys enjoying the future?"

"No." Angani said. "Now, who's the one that knows how to get us back?"

"Me." Adult Kulaani said.

"Okay," Angani said, "spit it out!"

"There is two ways to send you back." he told them. "You can find the one who sent you here in the first place, but that could take a long time. Your other option is to go to the Mwaka Stone."

"What's that?" Tora asked.

"It's a special stone that allows you to time travel." he said. "Only a few know how to activate it, and i just happen to be one of them."

"Well, how do you do it?" Simba asked.

"Before we do anything," Adult Kulaani said, "let's go get Simba and Nala."

"We're right here." Simba said.

"No, the other Simba and Nala." Kulaani told them.

"Oh." Simba said. They all then started walking back to Pride Rock.

"So..." Kivuli said as he watched the cubs from under a nearby tree. "They found a way to get back to the past." He knew that the only way he was going to get back was if he managed to go with them, which he knew they wouldn't just agree to do. "I'll just have to make them take me back as well, then I can finally get ready to unleash what I have in store for them..."

Meanwhile, back in the present, Mufasa and the other pride members noticed the cubs were gone. They had been gone all day. While it wasn't unusual, their parents were getting fed up with them constantly disappearing.

"I don't know what to do." Mufasa said as he paced around the den. "They get grounded, and that still doesn't stop them. Obviously, they need a more severe punishment if they are to learn anything."

"What do you propose we do?" Neema asked. "We've tried and tried, but nothing helps."

Mufasa stopped pacing and started thinking. "Well..." he said, "There is one thing we could do, but I'm not a particular fan of it."

"What is it?" Sarafina asked.

"It's like a boot camp for disobedient cubs." Mufasa said. "My parents sent Scar and I to it when we wouldn't stop misbehaving. It didn't have much of an effect on Scar, but it worked for me. I never went against my parents orders again."

"I'll think about it." Neema said. "It doesn't sound pleasant, but they need to learn to listen."

"It's the only thing I can come up with." Mufasa said. "We'll discuss it again later. Sarabi, get the hunting party ready to move out. It's almost time for our next meal."

A/N: The cubs found their ticket back, but it looks like they may have a guest joining them... And it seems like Mufasa and the other parents may be ready to take steeper measures to be sure their cubs do what they are told.
