Twists of Fates II

In the Pridelands Kopa, Kiara, Sherise, James, Tanabi and Kovu were looking for an adventure. The six cubs were bored and hoping to find something fun to do.

"So what do you guys wanna do?" Kiara asked flicking her blue eyes to her friends.

"I don't know," Kovu said with a sigh flopping down on the ground.

"What do you think we should do Kopa?" Sherise asked

"Hey I know," the golden Prince said suddenly causing his friends to jump suddenly. "We can go explore in the gorge. We haven't been there before."

"Hey yeah that's a great idea Kopa," Tanabi said his red eyes lighting up.

"But Kopa our parents said we're not allowed to go down there," Kiara said.

"They said it's to dangerous." Sherise added

"Oooh Kiara and Sherise are scaared," James said mockingly.

"We are not scared!" Kiara and Sherise declared.

"I just don't want to get into trouble." the pale cream cub said with her head low

"We'll only get in trouble if we get caught," Kovu pointed out.

"But noone is gonna find out so we won't get in trouble." James boasted

"Oh no," Kopa groaned closing his eyes. "Don't look now guys but I think Timon and Pumbaa are fallowing us again."

"Oh man," Kiara grumbled. "They'll tell on us for sure. How do we get rid of them?"

"Easy," Kopa said with a smile. "We outsmart them."

"Hey yeah that should be real easy," Kovu said with a smile of his own. Then the dark beige cub raised his voice so that the warthog and meercat could hear him, "Come on guys lets go for a nice swim."

"Yeah the watering hole sure is nice on a hot day like today," Kopa said loudly. "Let's go."

With that the six cubs walked as fast as they could towards the watering hole. Once they were safely ahead of Timon and Pumbaa the six hid behind a tree. Once they were sure that the duo had passed them they quickly headed off towards the gorge to do some exploring.

TLKTLKTLK

Meanwhile Timon and Pumbaa had realized that they had lost track of the cubs.

"Great just great," Timon said pacing back and forth. "Simba's gonna kill us. We were supposed to keep an eye on the kid."

"Come Timon Simba will understand," Pumbaa said.

"Oh yeah sure he'll understand," Timon said the sarcasim dripping. "Pumbaa are you nuts? If someone lost your kid would you be so understanding? I don't think so."

"What are you two doing?"

The duo turned to see a young creamy golden lioness.

"Um...nothing"

"We lost the cubs"said Pumbaa causing Timon to face palm himself

Skye sighed. "Well there's no sense in dwelling in the past"

"We have to go home and tell Simba what happened." Timon let out a sigh and climbed on Pumbaa's back and together the duo and Sky walked back to Priderock dreading what was to come.

TLKTLKTLK

Meanwhile the six friends had reached the gorge. As the cubs neared the gorge's edge they peered over the edge.

"Whoa," Kovu said his green eyes wide. "It's really steap."

"Now look who's scared," Kiara, James and Sherise snickered.

Kovu shot the three cubs a glare and they, Tanabi and Kopa burst out laughing.

"I'm not scared ok?" Kovu said angerily. "I was just pointing out a fact."

"Yeah right," Sherise said still laughing.

Just then Kovu let out a growl and pounced on Sherise tackling her to the ground. But Sherise quickly got the upper hand.

"Ha ha pinned ya," she said with a smirk.

"Hey let me up," Kovu said pushing Sherise off of him. Then the dark beige cub tackled Sherise again but once again she pinned him.

"Ha pinned ya again," she said.

"Ahem," James said with annoyance. "Are you two done? 'Cause I'd like to go down to the bottom now."

Without waiting for an ansewer the light cream cub began to walk down the steap side of the gorge with his friends right behind him.

TLKTLKTLK

When the six reached the bottom of the gorge they immediatly began exploring.

"Whoa this place is sooo cool," Kopa said his voice almost a whisper.

"Yeah," Kiara said her blue eyes wide with wonder.

"I wonder why our parents said not to come down here?" said Tanabi looking around with wide red eyes

"Yeah," Kovu said his green eyes scanning the area.

"It's not like there's any wild animals down here waiting to gobble us up." said James

Just then James heard a noise from behind him causing him and his friends to jump and turn around.

"Who-whose there?" Kopa stammered.

Silence. Then Kopa's confidence came back and the golden Prince said loudly, "You'd better show yourself 'cause if you don't I'm gonna get real mad!"

Just then Kopa saw a small grey figure emerge from behind a rock. Kiara let out a gasp and hid behind Kopa whose's amber eyes were wide with fear. Kopa backed up a step not knowing if the thing was dangerous or not. Then the figure came into full view. Kopa's amber eyes went wide with surprise for the figure he saw was a hyena pup.

"What the heck is a hyena pup doing in the Pridelands?" Kopa wondered outloud. "If my Dad finds out he'll.."

"Oh please don't tell King Simba and Prince Jabari I'm here," the little pup wailed his eyes filling with tears. "They'll kill me."

"Hey hey relax," Kopa said gently. "I'm not gonna snitch on ya."

"You're not?" the pup sniffled wiping his eyes with his paw.

"You're not?" Kovu repeated scratching his head in confusion.

"No I'm not," Kopa declared looking at his friends. "Look he's obviously lost otherwise he'd wouldn't be here. Right?"

"Well actually I'm not lost," the pup said.

Kopa looked at the hyena sharply. "Me and my parents have sorta been living here."

"You're parents are here too?" Kopa said his voice high with alarm.

"Yeah and my uncle Banazi," the pup continued. "But don't worry they won't hurt ya."

"Yeah right," Kiara snapped her blue eyes wide with fear.

"They'll eat us up for sure." Sherise glared

"Yeah," Kovu piped up. "Let's get out of here Kopa. You're Dad and uncle has to be told about this for sure."

"Right behind you," Kopa said.

But before they could get very far the six saw three full grown hyenas appear. Gasping in fear the six cubs backed up terrified.

"Nunzi there you are," Shenzi said. "Where did you..." Just then she noticed the six cubs standing there. "Well well well looky what we've got here boys."

"Yeah looks like dinner is served," Banazi said licking his lips.

"No no no idiot," a deep voice said

The cubs and hyenas looked and seen a large lion walk out of the shadows. Kopa and Kovu's eyes widen at the sight of the large golden lion. Who had a huge red mane crowning his head and above all he looks like their fathers.

"We don't eat lion cubs anymore remember?"

"Ed and Mufasa is right," Shenzi put in. "We want to help them remember?"

"Oh yeah I forgot," Banazi said slapping himself in the head.

The six cubs' eyes widen at the lion's name.

"Hey ain't you King Simba's son?" Mufasa asked looking at Kopa who was a spitten image of his son.

"Y-yes," Kopa stammered still scared and shocked

"Good we wanna see you old man," Shenzi piped up.

"And tell him its a matter of life and death. Can you give him that message son?" Mufasa looking at his grandson

Kopa mearly nodded and with that he along with the other five took off running eagar to inform their parents of what just happened.
