AN: Snowflakexx; That might happen, who knows. Just got to wait and see.
TMNTMentalistTLK lover; Yeah, I know you and the other readers can't wait for Kalma's death. That might and might not come.
As Kula and the others approached Kalma's pride, Kalma came down from her pearch and sneered at the pale brown lioness.
"Where's your precious mate and loving brother in law, Kula?" she asked her green eyes gleaming. "Oh that's right they are to weak to fight me themselves."
"Jabari isn't weak," Malka growled steaping forward beside Kula. He didn't exknowledge SImba because he was upset that he betrayed Kula. "You ambushed him and nearly killed him. You're the weak one here Kalma."
"We'll see about that," Kalma hissed. Then the light brown lioness let out an earpiercing roar and shouted, "Attack!"
"Pridelanders attack!" Kula shouted as she and her pride ran at Kalma's pride at full force. The two prides connected biting and clawing every lion out for blood. Kula looked for Kalma but she found Afua instead.
"Going somewhere queenie?" the rusty brown lion hissed. "I don't think so."
With that Afua pounced on Kula biting her back. Kula let out a roar of pain and quickly threw the male off of her sending the Kalma's mate tumbling across the ground. But Afua quickly recovered and tackled Kula causing both felines to fall, both of them biting and clawing. Soon Kula found herself pinned. No matter how much she struggled the pale brown lioness couldn't break free.
Afua sneered at Kula. "Oh you fool," he hissed in Kula's ear. "You really thought you could win. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Goodbye queenie."
"Hold it right there Afua!" Malu cried out running up to Afua preventing him from killing her daughter. "If you think I'm going to let you kill my daughter you're sadly mistaken."
"Pest, go away I've got this handled," Afua said annoyed that Malu had stopped him.
"Afua! I will not allow you to kill my daughter," Malu said firmly. "I may have helped Kalma into ambushing Simba and Jabari but when it comes to killing my child that's where I draw the line. Now let her up or so help me I will kill you myself."
"So it is true," Kula whispered. "Mom how could you do such a thing?"
"Oh sweetie can't you see?" Malu said her voice pleading. "Queen Kalma is in the right here. Simba and Jabri had no right stealing her throne from her. After everything Scar had done for us we owe it to him to help his daughter get back his throne."
"That throne is my son's birthright," Kula growled trying to get up only to have Afua put more pressure on her chest. "Or have you forgotten about Kopa? You know the grandson that the lioness you are supporting tried to kill."
"I haven't forgotten about that," Malu snapped. "Kalma promised that she wouldn't harm Kopa once Simba and Jabari was dead. She even agreed to let Kopa be Scarafina's mate so he would still be king once Scarafina became queen. So you see Kula, Kopa will still have his birthright."
"Mom don't be a fool," Kula said. "Kalma is just like her father. She'll destroy the Pridelands just like Scar did. She has to be stopped."
"I'm sorry you feel that way," Malu said lowering her brown eyes. Then the dull brown lioness turned towards Afua and said, "Do what you have to do." and walked away.
"Mom where are you going?!" Kula cried. "Mom!"
Afua laughed evily as Kula cried out for her mother, "Guess Mommy dosen't love you so much after all huh? Now as I was saying goodbye Kula." with that the rusty brown lion raised her paw fully prepared to end Kula's life.

Meanwhile Mheetu and Nuka were having a battle of their own trying to fend off Kalma's pride along with the rest of the lionesses and other males. Suddenly out of nowhere a lioness jumped down from a high rock and landed directly on Nuka knocking the tannish brown lion out cold.
"Nuka!" Mheetu cried out running over to his unconsious friend. "Nuka buddy wake up." the creamy brown teen nudged Nuka with his head but failing. "Damnit." Mheetu muttered. "Hang on buddy I'll get you some help."
With that Mheetu ran off towards the others hoping to find Vitani or Zira. However Vitani wasn't who he found. Instead the teen his sister.
"Going somewhere brother?" Kalma grinned causing the fur on the younger lion to raise up. "I don't think so."
With that the light brown lioness tackled her brother sending both of them tumbling down a nearby hill. Kalma managed to catch herself before she fell off the side of the steap hill. Mheetu however wasn't so lucky and fell over the side. But he managed to pull himself up with his front paws but couldn't get his lower half up.
"Well, well, well," Kalma said mockingly. "Looks like you've got yourself into quite a situation little brother. As much as I'd like to stay and finish you off I have some unfinished business to take care. But I'll be sure to tell Simba and Jabari you said hi as I kill them. Goodbye brother."
With that Kalma left heading for the cave where she knew Simba and her ex would be.
"Oh man I've got to get to Simba and Jabari before she does," Mheetu thought franticly. "If Kalma gets to them first they won't stand a chance in their weakened condition."
Mheetu tried to pull himself up but his back paws kept slipping. Just when he was about to fall compleatly a paw reached down a pulled him up. Panting for breath Mheetu laid on the ground for a few minutes.
"Thank you so much," the teen said looking up to see his savior.
"No sweat," Banazi said with a grin. "But you gotta thank him too." Banazi pointed to Ed as he said this last part.
"Thank you Edward," Malka said with a smile. "I owe you. Both of you."
"My pleasure," Ed said. "But have you seen Shenzi by chance? I lost her in all the fighting that was taking place."
"No I haven't," Mheetu said shaking his head. "But I've gotta go stop my sister. She's on her way to kill Simba and Jabari right now."
"Wait I'll go with you," Banazi shouted running after Mheetu. Then he turned his head and shouted, "Find my sister Eddie. Make sure she's okay."
"Will do," Ed called as he ran to find his mate hoping nothing terriable had happened to her.

Meanwhile Shenzi was making progress taking down several of Kalma's lionesses ad few lions. The alpha female looked around and noticed that Vitani was having trouble fending off three lionesses even though Zira was trying her best to help her daughter.
"Time to end this," Shenzi growled as she ran at the lionesses full force. She made contact with one just as she was about to deliver a hard blow to Vitani's face.
This distracted the other lionesses enough so that Zira was able to fight them off. By now Kavela and Solange had joined the fight and had helped Zira fight the two lionesses. Shenzi threw the third lioness off of her sending her flying into a nearby rock knocking her out cold.
"Take that you bitch," Shenzi snarled. Then she turned to Vitani, who appeared to be hurt. "You okay?" Shenzi asked helping the light tan lioness to her paws.
"Yeah I'm fine," Vitani said with a wince. "Just a little scratched up."
"Oh Vitani honey are you okay?" Zira said her green eyes filled with worry as she nuzzled her daughter.
"Yes Vitani I was quite worried about you," Solange said also giving her friend a nuzzle. "Are you sure you're not hurt?"
"I'm fine So' thanks," Vitani said with a smile. "I'm just glad Shenzi came along when she did. Thanks again Shenzi."
"Ah forget about it," Shenzi said waving her paw. Then the female hyena looked around and saw a figure laying on the ground. To her horro Shenzi realized who that figure was. "Hey ain't that Nuka lying over there? He looks hurt."
"What?!" Zira and Vitani cried at the same time running over to where Nuka was laying. However Zira got there first since she was not injured. "Oh Nuka my poor baby!" the pale tan lioness cried nuzzling her son. "Nuka please wake up."
By now Vitani, Kavela, Solange, and Shenzi had reached Nuka and were alarmed at how still he was.
"Oh mom please tell me he's not dead," Vitani cried her green eyes filling with tears.
"He's alive," Zira said her green eyes brimmed with tears. "But he's bearly breathing. We have to get him help."
"I'll go back and get the monkey," Shenzi offered.
"I think it would be better if we carried Nuka back to the cave ourselves," Solange said getting underneath Nuka's front end while Zira and Shenzi got under his back end and together the group carried the injured lion back to Priderock hoping Rafiki would be able to help him.
