Thank you for the most amazing reviews. Here's to the next chapter, enjoy.

In the tall grasses of the Pridelands Kiara was in the mist of chasing a butterfly with Hamilton and Moreau not far behind.

"Hey! Wait! Come back! I just wanna play!" Kiara sees the butterfly land, and crouches to attack, "Ahhh... the mighty hunter has cornered her prey." She snarls, "Errrrh!"

Hamilton and Moreau fell on their backs and broke in fits of snickers as Kiara pounced. It took her up the side of a small rise, from which she can see a distance into the Outlands.

"Whoah... cool! The Outlands! I wonder what's out there..."

Hamilton stopped laughing and said, "Kiara! No! You heard Uncle Simba."

Hamilton flickered his ear before lowering his head. "I have to agree with Moreau on this."

Kiara rolled her eyes, "Come on, Hammy. Don't throw away your shot." she then gave him her puppy dog eyes.

Hamilton gulped before sighed, "Fine. But we look around and come back!"

Kiara smiled brightly which could made Hamilton's heart melt. Which it did.

"Come on, Moreau!"

The creamy cub shook his head before they all looked up at the sound of a extremely loud roar. "What...what was that?"

Hamilton shrugged. "Who knows. Now are you coming?"

Moreau shrunked back. He wasn't going to make a issue of of being scared. Because he was. "I'll just see you guys when you return."

The two watched Moreau run the opposite direction of them before they started for the borders. Where they started to cross a log.

"Before careful, Kiara." Hamilton called out, his fur on edge.

The golden orange cub just giggled and wasn't paying attention to where she was going as she tripped and went rolling.

"Kiara!" Hamilton yelled before running after his cousin. Only to stop when he saw two unknown cubs growling at Kiara.

Hamilton growled and stepped in between the two other cubs and Kiara.

"Who are you pridelanders!"

"None of your concern!" Hamilton snapped, his dark brown eyes narrowed.

The dark brown cub raised a eyebrow before looking at Kiara who was jumping from side to side. "What are you doing?"

"My father said to never turn your back on an Outsider!"

The brownish cub chuckled darkly, "You always do what your daddy says?"

Kiara frowned, "No!"

They joined and ganged on the princess as they smirked, "I bet you do! I bet you're daddy's little girl!"

Kiara shrunk back as Hamilton stepped between them again and growled, "Leave her alone!"

The dark brown cub just laughed before he and the other cub lept on some rocks in the river, "We don't need anybody. We take care of myself."

Hamilton snorted, "I highly doubt it."

"Really cool!"

Hamilton's eyes widen as a growl escape his throat as he watched Kiara followed the two cubs with a look of awe. Kogan followed with a scowl on his face. Hamilton didn't know why he had a sudden hate for the strangers but he didn't like the looks Kiara was giving them.

"Ahhh!"

Hamilton shook his head to rid of the thoughts when he heard Kiara's scream.

"Hamilton, run!"

Hamilton turned and gasped there was a large crocodile jaw coming down on him. Without another thought he ran with the other cubs following. They soon stopped on some rocks to catch their breathes.

"That was a close one.."

Hamilton rolled his eyes at the brownish cub's statement before his eyes widen as the rocks they were on started to rise.

"Run!" Shouted Hamilton running off.

Kiara and the cubs wasted no time and ran. Kiara ran up a tree as Hamilton ran to another rock and the two other cubs fell in the water. Hamilton looked around and saw a branch leading towards land.

"There!" The creamy beige cub yelled.

Kiara leaped on the croc's jaws that was about to close down on the strangers.

"Move!"

The two waste no time ran up with Kiara and Hamilton following. Once on land the cubs stopped to breathe. After they moved to the edge where Kiara gave them a raspberry before moving to a safer spot.

"Man did you see the size of those teeth!"

Hamilton sat in the back and snarled at the little flirting Kiara was giving towards the cubs that introduced themselves as Kovu and Taka. He watched as she tagged the brothers.

Hamilton snorted when he saw Kovu and Taka didn't know how to play. Just then a loud roar ripped through the air. Hamilton looked and saw Simba roaring in the brothers' face.

As a pale tan lioness and a rich brown lioness jumped from behind some bushes and roared at Simba. Hamilton was scared of these lionesses and back up, to only back up to his grandmother's leg.

"Zira."

"Simba."

"Sage."

"Anna." the two lionesses sneered at the creamy beige lioness.

Anna growled but Simba blocked her view of their cousins and snarled. "I banished you from the Pridelands! Now you, your sister get your cubs and get out!"

At the loud shout Kiara shrunk back from in between her father's backlegs.

"Oh you remember my sons? Kovu and Taka. My father came to me and told me, they were to be his heir...to be kings!"

Simba growled as Hamilton snorted.

"You know the penalty of returning!" growled Anna. She wasn't there when her brother exiled their cousins but she was more in power to enforce it.

"But the children does not! How ever...if you need your pound of fresh..." Zira purred before pushing her sons towards Simba.

Simba looked at the cubs before looking at Sage and Zira, "Take them and get out! We are finish here" he picked up Kiara and made why to walk home, until Zira walked up.

"No Simba, we have barely begun."

With that she picked up Kovu as Sage grabbed Taka and the sisters headed back to the Outlands. Simba glared before walking away. Hamilton sighed before getting up and following, staying close to his mother's side.

...

Zira had just put Kovu and Taka asleep. She was absolutely blown away when Jefferson told her where her sons had ran off to. She's just glad she and Sage got to them before Simba had the chance to any damage.

"I see the boys are safe and sound."

Zira turned to see Saren walking towards her. "Yeah. Give my thanks to your general."

Saren chuckled which earned a confused look from the pale tan lioness. "I believe that your sister...Sage is showing her...um appreciation for the both of you."

Zira looked horrified before shaking her head. "Thanks...anyway."

As Zira went to walk away Saren stepped in her path. "I haven't had the chance to share. But you look so much like your mother."

Zira frowned before raising her eye brow. "You knew my mother?"

"Sheefta." Saren commented. "Yeah. She and Scar raised me."

Zira relaxed. Glad to know what his connection to her father was and was now more than appreciative of his assistance. "Well, I'm meeting with someone. Your more than welcome to join."

Saren dipped his before following after the pale tan lioness. The two walk through the Outlands before coming to the Pridelands border where three lionesses stood. As Zira and Saren got closer, she recognized them as her sister and her friends, Tama and Ariana.

"What the hell, Nala!" Zira snapped, amber eyes blazing in annoyance. "Don't you know how to keep that trap of yours shut!"

Nala stood where she was, in between Tama and Ariana. With a annoyed growl, "You wanted help did you not? Besides they are loyal to me. They want Simba and Kiara gone as well."

Saren's pale blue eyes widened at the name that came from the peachy cream lioness' muzzle. "What did you say?"

Nala looked from her sister to the oddly familiar orange-tan, brown almost black maned lion. "What do you mean?"

Saren narrowed his eyes. "You said Kiara. Tell what you know."

Nala scoffed before turning to Zira. "Is he for real?"

Zira growled before turning to her male ally. "What's going on with you?"

Saren wasn't sure what to say. That Kiara was the name of a young lioness that he forced himself on. With a deep breath, he shook his head. "Nothing. Continue."

Zira huffed before turning back to Nala. "I'm sure you heard about Kiara's run in with your nephews."

Tama rolled her pale brown eyes. "Simba won't shut up about it."

The white lioness on Nala's left laughed before nodding her head in agreement with the creamy orange lioness.

"Well. I have the perfect plan." Zira grinned. "I'll use Kovu and Taka to get to the princess. Where they will kill Simba."

Nala liked the plan. But her sister's next words knocked her out of her fantasies of the future.

"I know you hate this princess. But you need to get close. Well meet up again in a few months to discuss operation; rogue."

Nala nodded before turning to head back to her father's old cave with Tama and Ariana following behind. While Zira and Saren headed back into the Outlands to inform the rest of the outsiders of the plan.
