Chapter 16: War
E-Mir the Luminoth 17: I really don't think ther cub would have two different eye colors. I imagined her with Simba's eyes and a fur color mix between Sarabi and Sarafina :)

This is the final chapter! Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting! I got a wonderful story request from JJZ-109 and I hope you'll like it. Anyways, I made some thinking and I came to a conclusion that I really love anthros, so I will write small stories, of course Lion King stories in an anthro world.
War? Oh great! That's what I needed! I really hate the Outlanders! They want war? They'll get one!
"Come on girls, we got some asses to kick!," I shouted and followed Simba. It was raining like crazy.
"Stay behind Nala, I won't let anyone hurt you," Simba whispered as I caught up with him.
"Simba you're injured! Let me lead the war!," I protested, but still I didn't yell, I didn't need another conflict.
"Nala I'm fine! Listen to me!," he said gently. His face was telling me that he was telling the truth.
"Alright. I hope you know what you're doing," I said and joined the lionesses.
"I love you Nala," he said and stopped walking. We saw Zira and her pride covered with mud. They were growling and obviously hungry for some blood.
"Simba! I dreamt of this moment for years!," she hissed.
"For the last time Zira! Go home!," Simba hissed back.
"I am home. ATTACK!," she yelled and we went for the fight, "HIT THEIR EYES! BREAK THEIR JAWS! DESTROY THEM!," I heard Zira yelling. Wow how nice, she jumped on a big rock while her pride was fighting. Very clever. I let go of my sarcasm when I felt pain in the back of my neck. I turned around and I was really shocked of who I've seen biting on my neck.
"Dotty!," I hissed and winced in pain.
"Why hello Nala, so we meet again. Where's your precious little husband to protect you now?," she said and pinned me. She pinned me! She has beaten me in my own game!
"He's right behind you, you slut!," I heard Simba's voice and it everything happened so fast. I didn't feel that tight grip on my back anymore. Dotty was now lying on the floor gasping for air, "Are you alright?," he asked me.
"I guess so. We'll talk more when we kick their asses, right?!," I yelled and was prepared for fighting.
"RIGHT!," he yelled and ran towards some lionesses. I never felt this way before, I had adrenaline pumping in my veins, just like when we were fighting off Scar. I knew we'll win! All of a sudden three lionesses jumped on me and started kicking me. Hard. I pulled all of my thoughts back. So this is how I'm gonna die. Everything went black, I could only hear loud roars around me. I realized I had to help my own pride. I was their Queen. I punched the lioness as hard as I could and her body weight hit the other two. I looked around and saw Vitani below me. She was standing on a high rock with a killer look. She was my most hated lioness, right after Zira. She helped her to set the trap for my son's murder. Now she's gonna pay.
"Where is your little girl Nala?," she said sarcastically.
"VITANI!," I yelled. I saw it coming. I saw that jump coming. Vitani jumped down on me, trying to pin me down. "Oh no, you won't!," I thought and tried my best to avoid it. Vitani was strong, but I was stronger. I pinned her easily and went for the throat.
"NO NALA! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!," she cried in pain. I was heavy.
"You don't deserve to live!," I exclaimed.
"Queen Nala, please! I regret everything I said!," she looked at me with sad eyes. She was still a child. I remembered her when she was still living on Pride Rock.
Flashback…
"Queen Nala? Can Kopa come out and play?," she grinned.
"Sure sweetheart," I said lovingly, "Kopa! Someone wants to see you!," I said loud enough for him to hear.
"Yes Mum? Oh hey Vitani! Mum may we go and play?," he asked me sweetly.
"Of course you may honey! Have fun!," I yelled after them.
End of flashback…
This is not who I was. I was not a murderer. I let go of her and joined my friend Kula who was afraid. She was just standing there and waiting for someone to end her life. I knew her. She was a peaceful soul. She didn't like wars.
"Kula? Are you alright?," I asked her.
"No…" her voice trembled.
"You'll be…" my voice was interrupted by a roar. The loudest roar I've heard today. Simba's roar. I turned around and saw Simba and Zira circling around each other. Suddenly they stopped and raised their paws to hit each other. The fight was stopped when two lions jumped in front of them. It took me a minute to realize that the lioness was Kiara and that the lion with her was Kovu.
"Kiara!," Simba hissed impatiently.
"Kovu!," Zira practically did the same thing, "Go away!," she added angrily.
"Stay out of it!," he looked like he was going to hit her.
"A wise King once told me… We are one… I didn't understand him then… I do now," Kiara spoke slowly.
"But they…" Simba started protesting, but he was cut off by Kiara.
"They? Look at them! We are one!," she said. She was right.
"Vitani! Now!," Zira yelled. Those words obviously didn't touch her heart.
"No Mum! Kiara's right! Enough!," Vitani said and walked over to us. Zira's lionesses, including Dotty, were whispering something and followed Vitani.
"What! No! COME BACK HERE!," she couldn't stand that she was all alone now.
"Give up Zira. It's time to forget about the past," Simba said calmly, ready to make up.
"I do not forget! This is for you Scar!," at the last sentence she jumped in Simba's direction trying to throw him in the gorge. It all went too fast. My daughter risked her own life to save her father's. She jumped in front of him. It seemed that she was the only one who expected an attack.
"KIARA!," Simba yelled desperate.
"Kiara!," Kovu yelled.
"Kiara!," Simba said once more and jumped down to save her. I hurried to the edge to watch over the situation. I didn't see Kiara falling. Instead she was holding on the cliff.
"Hold on Kiara!," I yelled. The sound of flowing water got my attention. Oh Simba! I can't lose the most important persons in my life!
"SIMBA! SIMBA THE WATER!," I yelled to him. Thankfully he heard me on time. I turned my head to Kiara. She was whispering something to Zira. She suggested to help her, she offered her her paw. Zira struggled and lost her power to hold on. Finally that monster was gone! Kiara was save. I saw Simba below her. I hurried over to the edge below them both and waited for them to come up. When I saw them healthy, without any injuries, my heart felt light again.
"Kiara! Simba!," I said crying tears of joy and nuzzled them both, "You're both so crazy!," I added.
"Kovu!," Kiara turned her attention to the black lion behind me.
"Oh Kiara!," he gasped and nuzzled her. My heart almost stopped when Simba walked over to them.
"Kovu! I was wrong! You are one of us! Let's go home! Together!," he said. I was proud of him.
We walked home in silence. We were all exhausted. I don't know how, but there was Rafiki waiting for us. We formed the circle of life with me and Simba on the top of it. Kiara and Kovu were in love, just like me and my husband were and are right now. Rafiki looked over to Simba. I know what that meant. He gave the same look to Sarabi and my mother when me and Simba were about to be married. He was asking permission. He nodded and smiled at the new born couple. Rafiki waved his stick below their heads. They were one.
Me and Simba traditionally headed towards the edge of Pride Rock. All the lionesses bowed as we passed by. Kiara and Kovu followed us. We had to tell our subjects that we're at peace. We all gathered at the edge. The King always roared first and after him the other male. That's what we did. Simba gave us a mighty roar. Soon it was followed by Kovu's and then we all roared together: The King, his Queen, and the future rulers.
We looked down at our subjects. They all chanted happily. All of a sudden we saw Mufasa's figure in the clouds.
"WELL DONE, MY SON! WE ARE ONE!," his mighty voice said. He was right. We are one.
THE END
