So here's chapter three. Thanks for the reviews, enjoy the new chapter.

A seven and half month old dark beige furred cub sighed as he looked at his reflection in a pond, by a waterfall. His black rimmed ears perked at a farmilar voice calling his name. He turned his bluish eyes from the water to the slope that he came down to see his mother.

"What do you want."

Ororo stopped and frowned before walking over to her son. "I have been looking all over for you, Orville."

Orville snorted through his black nose. "Why bother."

Ororo sighed heavily. "I'm trying Orville. I want to see Kiara too. She was like a daughter to me. But your father left before she did and we need to be here in case he comes back. Which I don't know when that is. So you're going to-"

The black lioness stopped speaking when she heard her mate roar.

Orville looked up with confused eyes. "What's going on?"

Ororo stood and headed for the slope. "Orville, return to the cave. I'll be there when I can."

Orville wanted to protest but thought better of it and ran off towards his family's cave. Ororo watched her son head up the slope before heading up after him but in another directon. Ororo headed for the area Logan's roar came from. She exited some ferns and was shocked to see her mate with a another male and four lionesses. They were pretty beaten up. Ororo ran over and buried her head in the dark beige lion's dark brown mane.

"Logan! What happened!?"

Logan grimaced before nuzzling his mate. "The Grassland was taken over. We barely escaped but I brought them here. They were the only ones that survived the assult."

Ororo looked at the the lionesses. Two of them have cubs that were around Orville's age and the other two was expecting. "Let's get them to the caves. Then we'll talk about moving forward from there."

Logan nodded before following after Ororo with the surivers in tow.

Grassland Pride

Jareb laughed before smiling as a light tanned teen lioness nuzzled into his black mane. "That was fun! Don't you agree, Vitani?"

Vitani moved her purplish eyes from the bit of lionesses she brought with her to the dull brown lion. "Yeah. Fantastic. Now-"

"...about our deal?"

Vitani and Jareb looked to see Alyssa and Jamali. The young russet lion turned to face the creamy beige lioness. "We'll be honoured to help. Because...I actually have a score to settle with the king of the Pridelands."

Alyssa grinned with a raised eye brow. "Oh really? Please share."

Jamali snarled as he thought about it. "King Kopa's family is the reason my grandmother isn't here and why my mother almost died! He shouldn't deserve to be king! He should die and whoever gets in my way will fall victim to my hunger for blood!"

Alyssa chuckled before nodding. "I see a very lovely partnership. But I do have a plan for our next step."

Vitani, Jareb and Jamali grinned. The Pridelanders won't know what hit them.

"Canon ball!"

A dull cream cub covered her head with a lighter colored paw. But that didn't do much as the water splashed on her. Faraji and Almasi resurfaced laughing while splashing each other.

"I swear, they are like love birds." a pale cream cub laughed as he and a creamy brown cub walked.

The creamy brown cub rolled her pale blue eyes. "You don't know what you're talking about, Jax."

The dull cream cub shook her fur dry before looking at Jax with amusement in her green-hazel eyes.

"I agree." then she looked over to the creamy brown cub. "Don't think so, Jaha?"

Jaha groaned, "Leave me out of it."

Alana and Jax laughed as Faraji dunked Almasi under the water before climbing out of the water hole.

"You're not getting away that easy!" Almasi playfully growled before chasing after her cousin.

Once on land a heated game of tag was on. While Alana, Jax and Jaha watched from the sidelines.

Jax looked at the two female cubs as he shook his head after seeing the prince and princess tumble down a small hill.

"So how was your day before all of this?"

Alana smiled, "I had a blast! My mom taught me how to hunt and he saw me some cool fighting moves."

Jaha didn't respond because lately her mother didn't have time for her and it was frustrating.

Jax smiled, "Cool, my mom is going to show me how to fight too so I can be apart of the guard."

A amused chuckled caused the cubs to look up to see the leader of the guard.

"Prince Brandt! What are you doing here?"

The light golden lion chuckled before ruffling upthe light brown tuff on his head. "You have to paratice, if you want to be apart of the guard. But to answer your question; I was on my home when I figured I would get you knuckle heads."

The cubs giggled before following Brandt. As Faraji and Almasi was in still in a heated game of tag, the two wasn't paying attention until Almasi ran into something hard.

"Well, hello there."

Almasi looked up from the ground panting and lit up when her rich green eyes landed on the golden orange queen.

"Mommy!"

Kiara smiled as the golden peach cub nuzzled her legs. She bend down and nuzzled her daughter.

"It's time to go home, you two."

Faraji frowned but smiled when Almasi pounced on him. Kiara smiled lovingly at the cubs as they tussled in the grass.

"Come on, you two."

The prince and princess stopped their playing before running after the queen and following her the rest of the way.

Inside of Priderock

After eating a giraffe that Zuri, Tiffu help take down with some of the new members that joined the pride after the birth of Almasi. Including Alana and Jax's mothers, Marcy and Jaina. Now as everyone was settling down for the night Faraji and Almasi laid in Kiara's paws.

"Auntie Kiki?"

Kiara nuzzled her nephew with a smile, "Yes?"

"Can you tell us about Grandpa Simba?"

Almasi looked at her mother mother with curious eyes.

Kiara sighed, "Your grandfather was a special lion that was tooken from his family a bit earlier than life planned."

"What do you mean?" Faraji and Almasi asked with their heads tilted.

"I think it's time you two take it down."

The cousins pinned their ears as they groaned.

"But daaaad..."

"But Uncle Kopa ..."

"...we're not sleepy yet."

Kopa smiled as he watched his daughter and nephew yawn.

"I like to beg to differ." laughed Kion who stood next to Kopa.

The pale golden king smiled, "Let them sleep, Kion. I'll watch over them."

Kion smiled gratefully before heading towards Fuli.

"I think he likes you." laughed Kiara once her mate laid next to her.

"I'm glad." Kopa purred before nuzzling the golden orange lioness.

With a happy sigh, Kiara laid her head down and closed her eyes.
