Note:The content of this chapter were part of a rather reluctant deal with Chumvi.

Kovu and Kibwe were going to Rafiki's tree mere hours after Abasi was awakened,unaware of the threat that was inside the when they got there,they did not find Rafiki,but they did hear evil cackling.

''Well,if it isn't Kovu the traitor.'' Janja said as he and his hyenas were coming out of bushes.

''It isn't betrayal if the prides merged,Janja,and you know that.'' Kovu said to the Hyena leader,''now get out of the pridelands.''

''I'm truly sorry,Kovu,but im afraid i can't do that.'' Janja laughed.

''Why not?'' Kovu asked before he saw Abasi coming around from the left side of the tree.

''Kwa sababu niko hapa'' Abasi replied to the former outsider.

''Kibwe..'' Kovu whispered to his confused son,''Run..''

''W-Wh-'' Kibwe began

''JUST RUN!'' Kovu yelled,causing Kibwe to run towards pride rock as Kovu tried to fight off the attackers,but was overwhelmed while Kibwe dodged several of the hyenas and reached pride rock after a few minutes.

''MOM!UNCLE KION!'' Kibwe said to his mother and Uncle,who looked at him.

''What's wrong?'' Kiara asked her son,who had fear in his voice.

''Dad told me to run when we were being attacked at Rafiki's tree!He needs help!'' Kibwe told his mother,who instantly bolted out of pride rock,followed by Kion and ,when they reached Rafiki's tree,they found Rafiki kneeling above a downed Kovu.

''KOVU!'' Kiara screamed as she ran to her husband while Kion stormed to rafiki.

''What happened here?'' Kion asked the mandrill,who sighed.

''A Threat buried for a thousand years has returned...de future of de pridelands is now in jeapordy,Kion.'' Rafiki explained as Kion heard his sister crying.

''He's..He's…'' Kiara almost choked on her own tears as Kion realized what she was about to say.

''No..'' Kion whispered as Kibwe came over and cried on his paw,earning a nuzzle from his uncle.

''Daddy's dead,Uncle Kion..'' Kibwe cried,''what are me and my mom gonna do?''

''...Tell the Kingdom.''

Kovu's death devastated the pride,mainly Kibwe,Kiara and Vitani.

Later that night,Kion stood up on the perch of pride rock.

''Kovu was more than a brother-in-law to me..He was a person I could go to for advice whenever my parents and rafiki and he was a father..a father to my nephew..and the husband to my sister...his death was unfortunate,yes,but we can remember him for who he was by thanking him for all he did for us..his time with the pride was short,but Kiara,Vitani and my parents knew him long enough to consider him a lifelong member of the pride...now listen.'',Kion spoke,''a threat not seen for a thousand years has reappeared and may do more harm to the pridelands than scar did if we do not stop him soon...we can unite to avenge Kovu..by destroying the very force that ended his life!''

all of the pride roared,except Kibwe,who did a squeak.

''Aw,my roar isn't a roar at all.'' Kibwe said,ashamed while standing next to his uncle.

''Don't worry,Kibwe,it will get better as you grow.'' Kion assured his nephew as Tiifu walked up to the perch and looked down at the pride,then back at Kion.

''Overwhelmed?'' Tiifu asked her husband,who nodded,''I'm sorry for what happened to Kovu..I know what he meant to both of you.''

''Yeah...He was technically your brother in law too.'' Kion said while smirking,''Because remember?you are married into the family.''

''Well,so was Kovu.'' Tiifu reminded kion with a laugh.

''Hey,Kovu,I need to ask you something'' Kion said his Brother in law,who looked at him.

''Sure,Kion,what do you need to ask me?'' Kovu asked the younger lion

''Should I ask Tiifu if she will marry me?'' Kion asked and Kovu looked at him blankly.

''Maybe...I mean,Kiara just knew what I was gonna say before i could even ask her and just said 'Of course' '' Kovu told Kion.

''Yeah...but Tiifu is different,Kovu.'' Kion reminded the former outsider,''you and kiara were pretty much meant for eachother..I dunno about me and Tiifu,though.''

''Kion,I have full faith in your abilities,you would be a great husband..that i guarantee.'' Kovu said to Kion,who smiled,''Go for it...you never know,she might say yes.''

''Thanks Kovu..'' Kion said while a hug to his brother in law.

''No problem,bro.'' Kovu replied as Kion left the den.

Early in the morning,Kion and Tiifu were taking a walk across the pridelands.

''Remember the day I asked Kovu if i should marry you or not out of nervousness?'' Kion asked Tiifu,who laughed.

''Yeah..funnily enough,I went to Kiara for the exact same reason.'' Tiifu replied

''But that day changed my life forever.'' Kion said,''Until the pridelands end…''

Ok,Chumvi..satisfied?Oh,well..Now a special occasion,where I bring you..a quote NOT FROM THE FANFIC!

Death is only a door, when it closes another opens. Heaven is being reunited with those we love.

I thank everyone who has been with me on this wild ride so far,like my friends(Chumvi,Carmen738,Poweroffailing,Hylian Warrior,Honeyfur and Incarnate Firefly.)
