Appreciate the reviews. Cubs, will be revealed soon.

Dusty Anderson, thanks for letting me use your OCs.

Everyone, enjoy the chapter.

Simba and Anna lead their mother, their aunt and a few lionesses to the border of the elephant graveyard. Where they were greeted with yells and growls. As the got closer to the border their sights landed on a pale orange, multi-colored mane of brown and black maned lion was in a pretty heated argument with a light golden brown, auburn maned lion that looked to be two years and a bit larger than Simba and the pale orange lion.

"You just let him go!" the pale orange lion roared in the year younger male's face. His dark brown eyes burning.

The light golden brown lion lowered his head, pinning his ears. "I'm very sorry, Malka, ser."

"Malka," the attention went to a greyish lioness who had two small cubs tagging behind her. "Give Gozi, the benefit of the doubt. You couldn't stop, Usnavi even if you tried. And you know it."

Anna's eyes widened before she ran towards the greyish lioness with a pale expression. "Did you say Usnavi!?"

Soraya nodded unsure what to say. Anna couldn't believe what was happening.

"Anna?" Simba said walking over to his sister. "What's going on? Who's this Usnavi?"

Anna sighed before taking deep breaths. "I was going to tell you as soon as we find Kiara but...now seems better."

By now Sarabi and Nadra apporched the small group. The dark beige lioness tilted her head, her orange eyes on her daughter.

"Anna. Sweetie, what's going on?"

Anna looked away from her family before turning back with her ears pinned against her head. "Back in the Eastern Mountain territory. I met a lioness, a bit younger than myself. She was the heir of the territory, but the lion that took over...killed her father and brother. Or so I thought."

Simba realize something. "This friend of yours...her name wouldn't be Kiara, would it?"

Anna nodded. "The male that took over...Saren courted me, used me. Then when I was a bit into my pregnancy, he raped Kiara."

"How horrible." Nadra said shaking her head.

"We wanted to escape. We heard about a new king in the Pridelands, wasn't sure who. But I figured he was better than Scar. So I made Kiara a offer and she agreed. But Saren found out and well...we ran for out lives. But we got separated when Kiara and her newborn cub fell in the river."

Anna looked up with tears falling. "Please. We have to do something. Usnavi and Kiara can't die."

"Urgh...And we won't..." all of the eyes turned to a dirt path to see a tawny, dark brown mane lion covered in scars and blood. By his paws was sobbing Kiara.

Simba instantly stepped to grabbed the cub but stopped when the tawny lion growled at him. "You must be Usnavi. Well that's my daughter."

Usnavi glared before pulling the golden orange cub close. "Well. She's my niece."

Anna cleared her throat before stepping up. "Hi. I'm Anna. I was actually best friends with your sister. Kiara wouldn't want you to be hasty. Now I understand that little Kiara here is the only family you have. But Kiara is also the heir to the Pridelands. So...Let's make a deal. You raise Kiara as long as Simba continue to train her and is able to spend time with her. My brother was the one that saved Kiara's life."

Usnavi wasn't sure but something about the creamy beige lioness' blue eyes rung him in. "Fine. I accept."

Anna nodded before grabbing Kiara and handing the shaken cub to her brother. "Now I have to go tell my son, that the girl he's been crushing on is actually his sister. Oh, how I tried to avoid this conversation."

Anna bonded off with the parties from the Pridelands and the Western Mountain territory following after their kings who started after the creamy beige lioness.

...

At priderock, Tojo was left in charge of things while Simba was away. In the small cave near the slope was Waya and her mother was under cub-watch along with Nala and her lapdogs, who was basically just there getting on the goldish-tan lioness' nerves.

But Waya was the only one, on their last nerve. Across the cave was a gathering of cubs, of course some was separate in their own groups. But that didn't stop the growls from leaving Hamilton's muzzles or the dirty glances directed towards a current group.

"I totally don't understand what's all the fuss about." said a dark cream cub with a roll of her dark green eyes.

A burnt orange cub nodded in agreement with a sneer on her beautiful face. "It's not like it's Kion."

Lying by Hamilton was a creamy gold cub who looked at the gossiping cubs with a scrunched up nose. Before she finally had enough.

"Tiifu!" the creamy gold cub yelled. "That's your cousin!"

"Oh shut up, Bambi!" sneered the creamy gold cub's older brother, Bandi. The white cub blew some of the red tuff from his face before narrowing his blue eyes at his sister. "Do you ever listen! Kiara is related to Queen Nala or the king. Besides Kiara's a nobody, I hope those hyenas enjoy themselves."

"That don't make it right to wish harm on her. What has she ever done to you?"

Brandi and Tiifu along with Zuri glared before the white cub stood and apporched the light gold cub that spoke.

"I don't remember seeing you around. Who are you?"

The light gold cub wasn't afraid. He stood and puffed out his creamy chest. "I'm Laurens and I'm in the place to be. You don't want it with me, because I'll do so so much damage than you can ever imagine."

Brandi sneered before crouching low. "Was that a threat!"

Laurens stood his ground, inspecting his claws. "You tell me."

Brandi snarled before rushing towards the younger cub to only run into the wall that was behind Laurens. Earning a eruption of laughter. For a quick moment a a image of a roaring lion's head was on the Laurens' shoulder before it disappeared.

"I have now seen it all."

Everyone in the cave, including all of the adults looked to see Kion and Bunga. Nala instantly ran over and pulled her son close.

"Where have you been? I was worried sick!"

Kion pulled out of his mother's grip. "I went to assist with Kiara's rescue."

Nala went pale. "Tell me you didn't? Kion. What is wrong with you?"

Kion rolled his green eyes before walking over to Laurens. "I believe that we weren't introduced. I'm Kion."

"Laurens." the light gold cub dipped his head.

Kion smiled. "Look. I'm putting together a team. I already have my strongest, keenest of sight and fastest. I thought I had my bravest, but I guess I need one more."

Laurens stood in his spot with wide hazel eyes. "You can't be serious!"

Kion nodded before placing a yellow paw on Laurens' shoulder. "Welcome to the guard."

Laurens looked at his shoulder to see a faded brown mark of a lion's head roaring. "I'll be honored to join. But I must ask Miss Waya for permission. She's looking after me."

Kion nodded and watched the light gold scampered off towards the goldish-tan lioness in the back. He some how had a good feeling about this new member.
