Chapter 61
As the rogue pride came closer, and closer with each passing moment, time slow down as if what was happening now was all a dream. As the adrenaline rush was making everyone feel like this, Kira took the opportunity to align herself with the old king, Simba as she now looks up to him for experience to
guide the others for this fight. As she was doing so Vitani, Kiara, Kuda, and Kovu took the middle of the field getting ready to fight. Mason and Leo took the main front lines, ready to start running, and fighting the enemy. Behind Simba's small group, Laila was instructing her pride on where to position themselves, and how many to a group. Shasta, Darien, and Daemon took Rama and Ramia as their backups, which meant they took the rear. Then Kiara went from her group that contain Nala, and some of the other lionesses, and went to Vitani, who nodded her head in agreement to go to Kira to talk, and do last minute strategizing for the fight.
"Hmmm...We know Tasha leads my old pride, but what I have been hearing she didn't plan Faith's kidnapping, and she isn't too smart to organize a plan like that, and a fight like this. We can use this to our advantage, since we have more Veteran fighter then they do." Said Kira quietly as she calculating and thinking how to go about fighting this battle to protect the Pride Lands.
"True Kira, but I think we shouldn't make the first move. We should try to flank them or slow them down, but we shouldn't at all at any cost go head on. They might be expecting that. I want you to spread the word quietly to the rest of the pride." Said Kiara as she too was looking over the horizon, and the incoming enemy.
She knew that time was of the essence and nodded to Vitani in agreement. Then Laila walked over to Kiara.
"Kiara this is perfect but we have to be careful on what we do. Luckily Rama and Ramia are in the back. They have the most speed and strength then any teen I've seen. Other than Ari." Laila said.
Kiara looked over at the teens and smiled.
"I wish Ari were here." Kiara said.
Laila looked up and searched the pride.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"I had him, Taja, Adin, and Shanni stay behind. They are also backups. They're some of the strongest in our pride too." Kiara said.
As they talked, Ramia couldn't help but be nervous.
"Rama, why did Shasta, Daemon, and Darien, chose us as their backups? I am a bit nervous, about all of this brother!" said Ramia quietly as she was stretching her legs, and trying to kill all of her nervous energy.
"Ramia. Ramia, my sister, they chose us because we are one of the few fastest lions of our pride, our ancestors would be proud of us in India, they will be watching over us now." said Rama sharing his sisters fears, and nervousness, but was ready for everything.
"My little princess, you are getting a bit too nervous, and fearful, try to relax sweet one." Teased Daemon playfully.
Ever since he realize, how besotted he was with Rama's sister as he watch her face turn a full red blushing fit. Rama rolled his eyes and walked over to Darien.
"So if Daemon hooks up with your sister, how would you feel?" Darien asked.
Rama looked over at his sister who was smiling ear to ear.
"Honestly, disgusted." Rama said.
Darien rolled his eyes at his best friend and sighed.
"You know if we survive this we will be the only single males in the pride." Darien said.
"Other than Shasta." Rama said.
"Oh right. Well other than Shasta." Darien said. Rama shook his head.
"Fine with me." He said.
Darien stretched one last god time. Just then Kovu roared.
"Forward everyone. But remember do not go on head first." He said.
"You ready?" Darien asked as Rama stretched.
"As ready as I will ever be." Rama said.
The pride began to march toward heir battle field. It wasn't long until the two enemy prides were face to face with each other. Kiara looked directly at Tasha and growled.
"Don't worry Kiara, Faith with be just fine with me." Tasha said. Kiara growled loader.
"Over my dead body." Kiara said viciously.
Tasha grinned wide and evilly.
"Challenge accepted." Tasha said.
