*I don't own ANY of the Kingdom Hearts characters or Lion King II: Simba's Pride characters. I only own Katie.


Katie followed Sora into Simba's personal den. The king of the Pride Lands was lying on his side unconscious with Nala and Kiara close to him. "What happened?" Katie asked Nala as she approached the royal family.

"Simba was ambushed!" Nala exclaimed.

"By who? Or what?" Katie questioned.

"The Outlanders!" Nala snarled. "Those outcasts hurt my mate! That is where I draw the line."

Katie sighed and hung her head. "The last thing you guys should get into is a war. That'll only tear you guys apart. I mean, you're all—"

"Katie, I want you to go into the Outlands and find Kovu. He's the one responsible for doing this." Nala growled. She looked back to Simba and turned her back to Katie and Sora.

Katie opened her mouth to protest but she stopped herself and made a low annoyed growl in her throat. She stalked out of the den and out of the cave. As soon as she and Sora got outside, she growled to Sora, "I'm not some delivery person. Kovu will find his way back here on his own."

"Katie, that's not a very good idea. You don't want to be on Nala's bad side…or Simba's. I'll come with you if you want!" Sora offered.

Katie shook her head. "Nah, I can do it by myself. I'm just not happy about it, that's all." With the flick of her tail, she stalked away from Sora. "Catch you later. I'll look out for Heartless 'n Nobodies. Maybe even a Keyhole." She bounded off of Pride Rock and headed north towards the Outlands.


Katie looked at the ground as she made her way to the Outlands, watching the grass to slowly thin out with every paw step. She stopped when she heard the rustling of grass. She automatically went into a hunter's crouch, blending and disappearing in the sea of yellow grass. Rounding up her haunches, she burst out of the yellow sea with a roar, she pounced a dark brown lion.

"Ack!" the lion grunted. "Wait a sec…Katie, isn't it?"

Katie blinked at the lion's voice and looked down. "Kovu!" she yelped. She quickly got off of him. "I'm so sorry! I was just-!"

"It's fine." Kovu huffed as he got up on his paws. "That was a good pounce, by the way. I didn't even catch your sent."

Katie started to circle around Kovu. "I was sent out to find you. Since I have found you, I'll escort you to Pride Rock." She told the dark lion. Kovu nodded and walked beside Katie to return to the Pride Lands. After a good fifteen minutes of silence, Katie asked, "So…what happened? Simba's pretty banged up…and so are you. You alright?"

"I'm fine. Is Simba okay?"

Katie nodded. "Yeah, he's alright. You didn't answer my question, what happened?"

Kovu made a deep, long sigh before he answered, "Simba and I were just walking in the Pride Lands, examining the damage of the fire…that's when Mother—I mean Zira showed up. I accidently led Simba into a trap. Zira and her followers attacked him, I tried to help him but one of the lionesses knocked me to the side. They trapped Simba into a ravine and Simba started to climb the river blockade. I rushed on the top to help him. But the logs collapsed beneath him. Where he went, I don't know but since he's at the Pride Lands he must have escaped. The logs took my brother's life. Zira blamed me for his death and exiled me from the Outlands."

Katie whistled. "Wow. I'm sorry, Kovu. But I'll have to warn you, you might not get a very warm welcome at Pride Rock."

"I wouldn't blame them…" Kovu sighed. The two lions looked up to see Pride Rock in the distance. "We're getting close." They picked up the pace.

As the approached to Pride Rock's base, the animals of the savannah watched their approach, whispering to each other.

"It's Kovu. What's he doing here?" a cheetah whispered.

"That's Kovu…" some giraffes murmured.

"Look at that scar... I can't believe he's here. That's Kovu?" the random whispers continued as they walked on to Pride Rock's base.

Simba looked down at Kovu with hard eyes as he got closer. He motioned Katie to get on Pride Rock. Katie and Kovu stopped; Katie dipped her head at Kovu before she ran up the large rock.

"Kovu!" Kiara yelled. She was about to jump down the rock. Simba snarled and jumped forward, cutting her off.

The whispers grew as Kovu continued down the narrow isle of animals. Many animal whispers over lapped as they said, "I never trusted him... It's the Outsider... it's that little troublemaker..."

Timon, who was near Simba, growled and spat, "Why I oughtta... let me at 'im! Let me at 'im!" He grabbed his tail and handed it to Pumbaa. "Here; hold me back."

"Okay!" Pumbaa chirped. He grabbed the merkat's tail and held him back.

"Let me at 'im! Let me at 'im!" Timon yelled.

"Okay!" Pumbaa let his tail go.

Timon lurched forward and turned to Pumbaa. "I think you're missing the basic point here."

"Uh…"

"Would you two stop it?!" Repliku hissed. "Simba's about to speak."

Simba stepped forward and growled, "Why have you come back?"

Katie stared at Simba in confusion. Didn't she just risk her butt to bring the Outlander to Pride Rock? Assuming that he didn't know that Nala had told her to bring Kovu, Katie shrugged and continued to listen.

"Simba... I had nothing to do with—" Kovu started.

Simba cut him off, "You don't belong here."

Kovu was lost for words. He stumbled, "P- Please... I ask your forgiveness."

"Daddy, please... listen to him!" Kiara pleaded.

Simba shot his daughter a warning glance, "Silence!" He turned his attention back to Kovu. "When you first came here, you asked for judgment..."

"Give him what he deserves!" an animal shouted in the crowd.

"...And I pass it now." Simba continued.

"Kick him out!" a giraffe yelled.

"That's right!" a zebra agreed.

"Judgment day is here!" a cheetah added.

"EXIL!" Simba snarled on the top of his lungs, it echoed on the stone walls of Pride Rock and across the land for all animals to hear.

"NO!" Kiara yelled. "Daddy, please!"

Kovu took a couple of steps back as the animals scolded him, calling him a disgrace, an agitator. He turned around and ran through with his tail between his legs as the crowd of animals as they screamed he wasn't one of us. He ran and ran, until he was out of sight.

Simba was standing at the tip of the promontory, staring off into the distance, making sure Kovu was gone. Kiara walked up to her father and pleaded, "Father... please reconsider!"

Not taking his eyes off of the horizon, Simba said, "You will not go anywhere without an escort from now on."

"No! That's not—"

"He used you to get to me!" Simba growled, finally looking at his daughter.

Kiara shook her head hard. "No! He loves me... for me!"

"Because you are my daughter!" Simba snapped. "You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you... away from him."

"You don't know him!" Kiara cried.

"I know he's following in Scar's pawprints... and I must follow in my father's." Simba consulted.

Kiara pushed her muzzle into her father's face and screamed, "You will never be Mufasa!" She broke down and ran to her den, crying hard.

Simba and the Keyblade Wielders were stunned. Simba slowly turned to Sora. "Sora. Gather the lionesses. We're at war."


Aw man...I hope I didn't mess up on any of this...I typed most of this while sleep deprived. My stupid Insomnia has kept me awake for the past THREE DAYS...I have no idea how Katie went without sleep for over three months...Aw, well. It's done. It's published. It's not my prob anymore.

This totally non-related but in the LoaDH Christmas Special I noticed that I had the names Lea, Kenny, and Clementine in there...WALKING DEAD: THE GAME CHARACTERS! x'D I just noticed that not long ago after I got to Episode 3 on Walking Dead: the Game. xD

Fun Fact!: Venitas (Katie's cat) is actually based off one my cats I owned when I was younger, but his name was Midnight, not Venitas. xD

Me: (Slams head on the keyboard and falls asleep)

Katie: (Pokes me with le stick) Uh...Katelynn...?

Me: (Snores)

Katie: -.-' Oh, great...bless your face. And if you sneezed while reading this KH fanfic then bless you. Peace off. BOOP!
