CandyLuv99, I have been trying to figure where Scar, Nuka and Kovu would return. But they would return soon.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Beginning of a Storm
Mufasa ran along the edge of the gorge, hoping to save his son and nephews. Soon he caught sight of Manu leaning over the edge of the gorge on a lower level but he was too late. His brother already tossed his son into the sstampede.
"No!" the king roared as Manu climbed up and faced him with a amused chuckled. Mufasa growled, baring his teeth. "I'll kill you."
Manu didn't wavered as three lions appeared out of nowhere. The dark brown prince grinned as they joined his sides. "Did you actually think that I would be foolish enough to attack alone?"
Mufasa knew that he was against great odds but he was determined to take his brother with him if he dies. A couple of roars caused everyone to look and see Alistair running over with two other lions in tow.
"And our king is not alone!" roared the creamy beige lion.
Mufasa smiled grateful before attacking his brother. While the three lions on Manu's side charged.
"Kovu go for the light orange one. Nuka and I will handle the other two." the rich brown, black mane lion ordered his younger brother.
The young dark brown, darker brown mane lion nodded. Accepting the order before charging towards a equally large built light orange, blondish mane lion. Alistair and a brownish-beige, dark brown almost black mane lion charged to the two slightly smaller rich brown lions.
Mufasa and Manu circled each other. Snarls and growls left their muzzles. This is a fight to the death.
Manu laughed as he sneered, drool dripping from his muzzle. "Don't worry about that beautiful fiancée of yours. I'll show her what a true lion is before I'll send her to the afterlife with you."
Mufasa snarled before charging, Manu side stepped before pouncing. Mufasa ducked before turning and swiping his brother across the face. Giving the dark brown lion a deep gash going down the middle of his face. Mufasa brought another paw down on the few months younger lion. Manu growled before kicking the golden lion off sending him a few feet. Manu pounced, pinning Mufasa down.
"Foolish brother! Now to join our pathetic father!"
Manu raised his paw prepared to end the king of the Pridelands life. But before he could bring it down, the brown lion was tackled by a yellow blur. Manu stood and so did his attacker and Mufasa. When the blur cleared Mufasa gasped.
"You keep your dirty paws off him!" Kiara snarled as Sarabi and few lionesses joined her before the light golden lioness hit Manu across the face.
Manu roared before back hitting the young lioness sending her flying, hitting a large rock head first.
"No!" Mufasa roared with raged before turning his hate filled eyes on the breathing heavily dark brown lion.
Mufasa growled before roaring but this roar wasn't like anything no one heard. As thunder roared and lighting flashed the golden lion pounced sending the two rolling. Mufasa quickly pinned his brother and with snarl he ripped Man's throat out.
"Any body else!" Mufasa roared facing the intruding lions.
Zira and Tiifu had tears in their eyes as they looked at the dead body of their lover. A loud roar ripped through the air causing everyone to turn their attention to the other fights but the roar came from Kovu and the light orange lion who was on the ground, in his own blood.
"Asil!" yelled a light beige lioness. Her brown eyes full of tears as she ran to her mate and cried into his lifeless body.
Mufasa turned from his friends with rage and hate. A roar fit for a king left his lighter colour muzzle. "All who condomed this is hereby exiled! If you ever step back into my kingdom, you'll regret it with your life!"
Zira looked up at Mufasa with a burning hate. "This isn't over."
Mufasa and the Pridelanders that gathered snarled at the retreating forms before the King's features soften as he turned to Kiara who was getting up.
"I guess we won," Kiara whispered while trying to get her breath back.
Mufasa smiled in relief before embracing Kiara. "I thought I lost you."
Kiara smiled lovingly before nuzzling the lion she loves. "I'm fine. But we have to let the rest of the pride know and send a search party for Jackson and Kaidan."
"No need." everyone looked to see Vitani apporching with the twins tiredly walking besides the light tan lioness. "I went ahead and went looking. They're fine, a bit bruised but fine."
"My babies!" Sarabi cried as her sons ran towards her. The dark beige lioness embraced her sons and licked them over, cleaning the bit of blood on their fur. "I'm glad you are alright."
Kiara smiled lightly before turning to her fiancé. "Ready?"
Mufasa nodded before turning and leading the gathered members back to priderock with Kiara at his side while handling a heavy heart.
...
The Outlands is where Zira and her followers, called home while they track back. They planned to come back with a big bang. Zira sat on a rised mound, the bit of lionesses that came with her settle in their temporary home. Soon the pale tan lioness' red eyes landed on her newest recruit.
"Tiifu,"
The creamy lioness looked up from directioning the lionesses to their private caves to see Zira apporching. "Yes my queen." Tiifu bowed.
"You're taking charge as though you're second paw. Are you?" Zira questioned with a glare.
Tiifu lowered her body to the ground in a submission position. "No your highness. I thought that well, Manu and I mated last night and I thought that..."
Zira burst into a fit of laughter. "I'm messing with you. You are my second, Princess Tiifu. Now carry on."
Tiifu nodded before turning to continue her assignment. Zira turned walked over to the waiting Eastern kings.
"I thank you on the behalf of my deceased lover." Zira bowed.
Scar walked towards the pale tan lioness and silently inspected her. "You're pregnant? Aren't you dear?"
Zira nodded as the rich brown lion circled her. "I have a feeling that I may be having a girl."
Scar looked towards his brothers and grinned before turning his leafy green eyes back to the now Queen of the Outlands. "Well then, should you and your dear second paw have girls they would be mine and my youngest brother's mate."
Zira dipped her head before moving her eyes between the three brothers. "Wouldn't you like Tiifu or one of the other young lionesses?"
Nuka chuckled before turning to let his brothers handle this. After all, he has a mate and two mistresses. Kovu was the one that spoke as he stepped up and grinned at Zira.
"We need young untouched lionesses. If only one of you have a female cub, my brother and I will share. So in short, one or two females or our alliance is dead."
Zira swallowed the lump in her throat before nodding. "Of course, sires. I'll see to it."
Scar joined his dark brown brown and smiled. "When you are ready for the next step. Send word and we'll come."
Zira bowed as Scar and Kovu joined Nuka and the three headed further into the Outlands to head to their kingdom that is just past the Outlands northern borders.
Zira lifted up and sighed deeply. Just when she thought that she had enough on her shoulders, she has to give the Eastern kings lionesses to further their alliance. She could just end the alliance but they wouldn't be very smart, since then they would attack her and her small pride. With a deep breath, Zira turned and headed for the pride's base. She'll recruit, while she's recruiting Mufasa can enjoy his happy life. Because soon, she's going to rip it all from him.
