The Legend of Kion

Band god arc Episode seven: A Lion Rivalry

Kion was seen near Pride rock while demonstrating the Kaioken technique to Mheetu, helping him to achieve it as well. "It's actually a pretty simple technique. You just have to be able to concentrate your Ki hard enough, and boom. You'll have it." Mheetu nodded and started charging up his Ki, hoping to learn the skill himself. He failed to do so and fell to his knees, feeling pooped as he did so as Kion chuckles. "Oh yeah. You have to be able to focus all of your energy without getting caught up in a dead end."

"Then how did YOU get it so well considering how optomistic you are?" Mheetu asked as he stood up and wiped his forehead.

"Dunno dude;" Kion shrugged. "Guess it's just natural."

Mheetu rolled his eyes and focused all of his energy, trying to avoid some dead ends. He started to get a red aura around him and felt his energy rising, only to start feeling restrained as he did so. He kept charging however, knowing he could get it right. Kion noticed that Mheetu had something different in his aura from his own. And not just because Kion's was red and Mheetu's was brown. Mheetu then felt his heart stop for a bit and Kion ran over to him in a hurry, saving him from his fall. "Mheetu!"

Mheetu woke up and punched his heart, mad at it for stopping. "Stupid heart. If you didn't stop then I could've gotten to the Kaioken."

"You're...yelling at your own heart." Kion implied calmly, making Mheetu roll his eyes. They then got back to their training as the blond mohawked lion from the intro was seen watching them.

"So that's the one Kujo told me about;" The lion smirked as he turned around with his eyes closed. "He'd better be as he said." The lion jumped down from the tree.

Dragon Ball Z Kai instrumental theme plays during the credits.

Kion was shown to be launching a Kamehameha at the screen as a male singer was heard singing Blazing Spirit.

"This world I see, holds such a deep, energy. (Energy.)"

A young jackal looking a bit younger than Kion was seen standing from a cliff in the Out lands, using an extremally large amount of power out of his control.

"Darkness will come, but I will go, fearless and free."

Simba was seen launching a ki beam at a generator, destroying it with one shot and then he and Kion were seen sparring in the Pride lands, with Kion starting it off in a similar way as Goku in the original opening.

"We share the strength, as well as love, that's how we live. (That's how we live.)"

Jasiri and Nala was seen watching the two spar, smiling at their session, as well as at each other in a friendly way.

"My courage won't fade, if you're with me, then Dark Kion can ne-ver win."

Kion and Simba collided a punch and then a lion cub about the same age as Kion with a blond mohawk and a scar on his left eye was shown with a ki orb in his left paw.

"Though there's also love and glory."

Janja was shown with a darkness sword in his paw, looking down at the Out lands.

"We shall live on with the story."

Kion was shown having a heart burn, to which Mheetu kneeled down to him in worry, being the only one there.

"There's not a thing we can't live through."

Dark Kion was then shown demonstrating his powers, as well as one where he can slice people in half with his glare.

"Evil won't make us die, we will rise again!"

Dark Kion's eye flashed, making the screen flash.

Kion and the others were seen fighting one at a time in between commas, starting with Kion fighting the blond mohawked lion, and then Simba fighting Chungu, and then Jasiri fighting Janja, and then Mheetu fighting Cheezi, and then Nala fighting another hyena, and then the jackal and Vitani being shown at the end with Vitani giving a Harley Quinn glare, and Dogo giving a child optomistic face.

"Don't stop, don't stop, don't give up now! Don't stop, there's too, much to be found!"

Dark Kion was then shown to be confronting Kion, who gave him a brave and noble look.

"We will find paradise, all we have to do is find that blazing spirit."

Kion sneered as he charged at Dark Kion with a punch, with just then the screen flashed just as that happened.

Kion then jumped back to where the others were standing and they were all then shown on the last lyrics, with Kion giving a peace sign and smile, Simba giving a calm yet cynical smile, Jasiri giving a fun loving wave, Mheetu giving a sneer and crossing his arms, Nala giving a timid yet kind smile, the jackal giving a bubbly and excited smile, and a lion silhouette looking about the same age as Kiara standing on a rock as the title behind them said The Legend of Kion.

"Blazing Spirit!"

Kion and Mheetu walk through the forest together, seeming to be on a nature walk of some sorts. Kion was explaining the Kaioken to Mheetu in a free spirited tone. "The Kaioken is kind of like an art Mheetu. I'm not saying it IS one, but it's something more than worth using. As we saw with Wingsol, it can put a toll on the user." Kion flashbacked to when Wingsol one shot him in his Kaioken times twenty form, having an excited memory of that battle. "And once I master it, I'll be able to show Wingsol how awesome I am."

Mheetu thought about the Kaioken for a moment, wondering what it could bring him. "And what exactly does times twenty do?"

"It increases your power twenty fold;" Kion explained. "See, Wingsol managed to put a lot into that note, so I know a lot about this Kaioken stuff." Mheetu looked back on the note Kion recieved from Wingsol, remembering what he told him. Kion then thought about how he would master the Kaioken. "Of course, it's only a matter of time before I master it."

"Pssh. You can master anything;" Mheetu said with a smug voice, and he then started speaking again. "Still, we all know that I'm the best child fighter ever, and that I go easy on you in all our fights. (Kion rolls his eyes while smirking) So it's only natural that I'd be so good, that I don't need the-"

Just then, a purple energy beam flew past Kion and Mheetu, surprising them a great deal. The two looked at each other and nodded, wanting to see where the attack came from.

The blond lion from earlier was seen demonstrating his attack to the jackal pup from the end credits scene in the second chapter, as well as the intro and outro. "See that? That's what I want you to do."

The jackal pup nodded and stood forward, going into two leg mode. He cupped his paws together and charged up a purple beam, preparing to launch it. "Galick gun!" The jackal pup launched the beam with full force, only to sense something and bring it up. He fell onto his back and sat up, smiling at his success. "Hey, I got it."

The lion looked ahead to see Kion and Mheetu walking over to the scene, to which he didn't change his cold glance to. "I'd appriciate it if you didn't interfere with my work. Thanks."

"We didn't know anyone was out here but us; Honest." Kion told the lion, and then he saw the jackal pup, who smiled and gave him a peace sign. Kion chuckled upon the sight of the jackal pup, never seeing one in the Pride lands. "Aren't you a bright one."

"Stop acting so humble;" Mheetu elbowed Kion's arm and looked at the jackal pup. "Alright buddy, now what was that attack we just saw?"

"Oh that? That was the Galick gun." The jackal pup said as he stood up, going back into four leg mode.

"Dogo; I told you not to reveal this attack to others without concideration." Tukio scolded Dogo for his ignorence, making Dogo's ears flop in sadness. "Now go off and find Kujo. I have business for him and then we can get back to training. (Points to Dogo) Slack off and I'll floor you as punishment."

Dogo nodded and ran off, jumping up to a tree and across others. Kion then spoke as he stepped a bit closer to Tukio, feeling rather concerned with his treatment to Dogo. "That's a pretty odd way to treat your pupils."

"Hey, the only thing he can do as of right now is a small Galick gun and a few Ki beams." Tukio explained as he looked at Kion and Mheetu. "There's really no reason to go soft. If you don't be brutal then you can't go far."

Kion then got serious as he stood firm. "You know what I think? Anyone can get stronger if you treat them right." Tukio looked at Kion blankly for a second and then he smirked, making Kion a bit irritated. "And what's so funny?"

"Just the fact that you think you know what you're doing." Tukio stated a bit smugly, making Kion confused with his next words. "I saw you and your friend training to use that Kaioken thing. Tell me, where did you learn it from?"

"Oh, that? I learned it from Wingsol." Kion explained and then he got excited over it. "He's this really strong egret and he can take it all the way to times twenty."

"Times twenty?"

Kion nodded and then thought that he and Tukio would make great opponents. "Hey. You wanna battle? You seem pretty strong if you have your own pupil."

Tukio appriciated the offer Kion gave to him, finding him to be rather soft, but still enjoyed the invitation. Even if he declined. "Thanks for the offer, but you're too soft for me." Kion rolled his eyes and then Tukio saw his scar on his paw, seeing as it glowed black upon first glance. "That's the scar given to Kion himself. (Turns to Kion) So you fully recovered from it? Kujo didn't tell me this part."

Kion looks at his scar in confusion and then smiles when looking back at Tukio. "Yeah dude. It must've been a rough battle, but no fight goes with either side being unharmed. (Puts a finger on his chin) Maybe that's how I was able to use Kaioken on my first go." Tukio became shocked to hear that Kion got the Kaioken on his first try, not seeing him as capable of that. Kion then pointed to Tukio with high optomism. "So anyway, feel free to tell me if you change your mind."

Tukio looks down at the floor, just barely enough to look at Kion as well. He spoke in a cold tone. "I'll consider."

Tukio began to walk off as Kion turned to Mheetu. "Cmon Mheetu. Let's see if the Kamehameha is easier."

Kion and Mheetu ran off as Tukio looked back at them, remembering that attack all too well. "The Kamehameha, huh?"

Kion and Mheetu were seen back home with Kion teaching Mheetu the Kamehameha. Kion cupped his paws together and spawned a blue beam in between them. "And then you just launch it. Like this." Kion launched the Kamehameha forward, showing that he's improved upon using it. Simba was seen watching Kion and Mheetu, glad to see Kion improving. "So that's pretty much how it works."

"That's it? I'll master this in a second!" Mheetu stepped in front of Kion and cupped his paws together, trying to charge up a Kamehameha. "Do I have to say the name?" Kion nodded his head no with a smile, relieving Mheetu. "Good, cause I already forgot it." Mheetu launched a Ki beam forward, disatisfied that it wasn't a Kamehameha wave. "Anything I missed here?"

"Not that I can recall;" Kion said with hope. "Some fighters just need time to learn it."

"Pssh. Dude, that's lame." Mheetu whined angrily. "I'm not gonna learn something that's unusable for the first few weeks."

Kion laughed at Mheetu's childishness and continued. "Some things take time dude. Just like how it took us both the same amount of time to get used to fighting in martial arts." Kion and Mheetu looked back on the days when they were younger, smiling at those three years they spent.

"Those were fun times. Just like now." Mheetu said in a hopeful voice, having fond memories of him and Kion sparring together. "But that's why I wanna learn this thing faster. (Looks at Kion) You've always been one step ahead of me with your natural talent, and I've always wanted to keep up. Taking time won't help me to do that."

"Well it's better than not learning it at all." Mheetu saw Kion's point as Simba walked up to them, catching their attention. "Hey Simba. I was just (Fist bumps Simba) teaching Mheetu how to use the Kamehameha. It made sense for both of us to use the attacks."

"Sure is a smart move Kion;" Simba said with a humble voice, putting his paw on Kion's head. "Let's get some food though." Kion and Mheetu looked at each other with smiles, loving the sound of that. They ran off laughing as Simba chased after them, laughing as well. Tukio was seen walking by as he saw Kion, Simba, and Mheetu running together, staring coldly at their friendship.

Kion bit into a double cheeseburger and then he was seen sitting with Simba and Mheetu at a Carl's J.r. He smacked down his burger and crushed the box, feeling a full stomach inside of him. "That was genius dude."

"No kidding." Mheetu burped as they walked off and Simba payed the check.

The three of them then left the place with Simba speaking up. "So this Tukio guy. You said he told you about the Galick gun?"

"That's right;" Kion said. "He seems like a strong fighter, which is why I'm so pumped to fight him."

"Then it's a good thing I decided." Kion, Simba, and Mheetu looked to see Tukio, who was leaning his back on a tree. "Alright Kion. After some thinking, I figured you could be a worthy opponent. (Stands up in four leg mode) Just don't dissapoint me."

Kion nodded, knowing that he could fullfil this request. "No problem."

Dogo hops down with a bubbly smile on his face. "Can I battle too?"

"I don't care what you do;" Tukio said calmly. "Just don't get in my way. I do my battle, and you do yours." Dogo nodded and got excited to battle Kion, who seemed to like his optomism quite a bit.

Kion and the others were seen walking with Tukio and Dogo, with Dogo asking Kion questions about his adventures. "So what's it like being leader of the Band Gods? Can you really use the Kamehameha? Is the Zokaken a real technique? Did you really win the latest children's division at a tournament? What's it like living here?"

Kion put a finger over Dogo's mouth with a smile, trying not to have his ego fed so high that he becomes a jerk. He then answers Dogo's questions humbly and with a free spirit, with a dash of overconfidence. "Well it's pretty cool, yes I can as it's my new signature, I learned it from Wingsol, yes I DID win, and living here is pretty cool."

Tukio scoffed at Kion's softness, catching Simba's attention. "Something wrong?"

"I just don't get how someone so strong can be so soft;" Tukio explained. "How is he not trying to keep his strength as his own?" Simba shrugged as Kion and the others arrived at an open area. "Alright then. There shouldn't be too many people or animals around here." Tukio turns to Dogo, who gets excited as he walks up to him. "Why don't you battle Kion first? I wanna test his power before I face him."

Dogo nodded and ran out onto the battlefield, leading Kion to be excited. "Okay then. Not what I expected, but alright." Kion ran up to the battlefield, being pumped up for his match as both he and Dogo went into two leg mode.

Simba walked in between the match, more than happy to announce the winner. "I'll be referee." Tukio nodded and then walked back with Mheetu, both of them to where they could get a good view. "Let the battle, begin!"

Kion and Dogo charged at each other with Kion grabbing Dogo's punch with ease. Dogo became surprised and then Kion kicked Dogo in the stomach, sending him back. Dogo regained his balance and then launched a Ki beam at Kion, who deflected it and launched one of his own. Dogo blocked the Ki beam and jumped out of the way before it could push him back. He then charged at Kion, who dodged his punches and kicks and then punched him in the face. Kion then low sweeped Dogo and kicked him back. He then launched three Ki blasts at him, with Dogo blocking the first two, and being hit in the leg with the last.

Kion and Dogo charged at each other and collided a punch, with Tukio enjoying the match. Kion punched Dogo and then Dogo kicked Kion in the face, leading to Kion spinning and punching Dogo with the back of his paw. Dogo back flips and regains his balance, charging up a Galick gun. Kion got pumped and charged up a Ki blast, being ready to collide it with Dogo's technique.

"Galick gun!" Dogo launched his Galick gun at Kion, who launched a Ki beam at it, causing a collision to happen. Kion and Dogo then saw that their techniques were equal, mostly because Kion didn't use the Kamehameha. The collision exploded and then Kion and Dogo appeared as the smoke vanished, with Kion landing a knee on Dogo's stomach. Dogo landed a punch on Kion's face and then blocked Kion's punch. He then jumped and attempted to land a back flip kick on Kion, who grabbed his foot and threw him into the air.

Kion charged up a Kamehameha wave, much to Dogo's excitement as he looked down. "Ka, me, ha, me, (Launches the Kamehameha) ha!" Dogo launched a Ki beam at the Kamehameha, only for it to be destroyed, much to Dogo's anxion. The Kamehameha hit Dogo and sent him to the floor, making him unable to stand.

"Dogo is unable to battle!" Simba shouted after ten seconds. "Therefore, Kion is the winner!"

Kion walked over to Dogo and lended him his paw, helping the Jackal pup up to his feet. Kion and Dogo then walked back over to Mheetu and Tukio, with Mheetu high fiving Kion for his victory. Tukio then questioned why Kion didn't win as soon as Dogo fell. "Why did you guys wait? Dogo was down before Simba even said."

"That's pretty much how we do it in normal tournament battles;" Kion explained. "It allows the opponent to get up if they can continue fighting."

Tukio took interest in his rule, surprisingly not finding it useless. "I see. I've never been in a tournament myself before."

Kion took intrigue to this as he and Tukio walked out onto the battlefield, with Kion walking backwards for a bit. "Great match Dogo!"

"You too Kion!" Dogo looked at Kion with amazement in his eyes, finding Kion to be an awesome warrior. Kion and Tukio then stood across from each other, preparing for their match to begin.

Simba raised his paw, preparing to start the match. "Let the battle...(Puts paw down)begin!"

Kion and Tukio charged up and jumped over to each other, colliding a punch. Tukio then kicked Kion back a bit, explaining something to him afterwards. "You seem to be worthy of my skills Kion. Just don't treat yourself like a reject, as (Points to himself with his thumb) I've trained myself to be an elite warrior."

Kion sneers at that remark, finding the title to be rather pointless. "Even a reject can surpass an elite. If he's strong enough."

Tukio powered up just as Kion did, liking Kion's confidence. "I like that ego of yours." Tukio then charged at Kion, who blocked his punch and landed one right on his face. Tukio then kicked Kion back and then front flipped over to him, kneeing him in the stomach. Kion then landed a punch on his chest, only to be back flip kicked up into the air. "What's wrong Kion? (Jumps up) I thought you'd be better than this." Tukio kicked Kion downward with a side kick and Kion front flipped to regain his balance. Tukio then landed and launched a Ki beam at Kion, who deflected it.

Kion then charged a Ki beam and launched it at Tukio, who blocked it with ease, barely getting a single scratch on him. "You were a lot better not even a minute ago, when you beat (Knocks the beam back) Dogo!" Tukio then charged at Kion and punched him in the face, which Kion then grabbed his paw and kicked him in the chest. He then back flip kicked Tukio in the jaw and launched a Ki blast at him. "Don't get (Deflects the blast) cocky over a lucky blow. My guard was just down."

"Yeah, that happened with me on a couple occasions too." Kion revealed, showing that he didn't always fight seriously. "But even then, I'd rather have this flaw than be a Gary Stu."

Tukio nodded, agreeing with Kion's words and then Kion charged at him, with Tukio dodging his punches and kicks. Tukio then grabbed Kion's arm and put Kion into a headlock, laughing in a somewhat cocky manner as he did so. "If that's all you got then I'm more than dissapointed!" Kion got heated remembering when Wingsol was beating him, biting Tukio to get out of the grasp. "Ow!" Tukio let go of Kion, who jumped away, allowing Tukio to inspect his bite mark. "What is this? A zombie outbreak?"

"Sorry dude. I got heated remembering Wingsol." Kion said, more pumped up than ever. "See, he said the same thing to me when HE put me in a tight spot when I battled him back in the Land in the Sky. You seem to be even stronger than him." Tukio gives off a confident smile, glad that Kion admires his power. "Not I can show you the technique he taught me!" Dogo became super excited, putting his paws up to his chin in a bubbly way. "Say hello to what the Kaioken has to offer!" Kion charged up his power, surprising Tukio with the increase.

Tukio backed away for a bit, wanting to see Kion's power for himself. Kion went into Kaioken mode, gaining the same aura he did against Wingsol. Tukio became amazed to see this power, never seeing it before in person. He then gave a smirk, finding him to still be slightly stronger. "Even with that in mind, I can still win." Kion became confused until Tukio charged at him, with Kion blocking his punch. The two of them then collided some punches and kicks, with both landing a few themselves.

Kion then back flip kicked Tukio into the air, launching a Ki blast at him. Tukio deflected the beam, rubbing his paw as he landed on the ground. Kion then gave a bit of a cocky smile. "What's wrong? I thought you said you could still win."

Tukio stopped rubbing his paw and started charging up an attack, getting ready to finish Kion off. "You're still one hundred power points weaker than me. See, I have a power of eighteen thousand power points at max, and this is just my power at sixteen point five thousand. You have a mere one hundred points less. If it was Simba battling me then he'd win, as he'd have twenty thousand points. As for Mheetu...a lackluster fourteen thousand."

"Hey dude, I'm able to keep up with Kion myself!" Mheetu shouted, agitated by Tukio insulting his power.

"I take it he doesn't take criticism all that well." Tukio implied.

"He's been my rival for three years now, so he takes comments like that seriously;" Kion explained, and then he got into a fighting stance. "Which is why showing you Kaioken times two will be even better."

"Can you really do that!?" Dogo asked, becoming super pumped up to see what Kion had in store for him. Tukio then looked at Dogo with a serious look, letting Dogo poke his cheek with a bubbly smile.

Kion then charged up his power, preparing to continue the match and go to his next stage of Kaioken. "Kaioken times two!" Kion gets a slightly redder aura, much to Tukio's dissapointment. "This doesn't exactly increase my power, but it DOES increase my speed when dodging. And even the little increases have their purpose."

Tukio scoffed at Kion's words, finding his softness to be useless. "Yeah right." Kion and Tukio then charged at each other, seeming to be evenly matched at the state they were in.

Wingsol was seen watching Game of Thrones on his TV as he then got a signal on his radar, catching his attention as he turned it on with high interest. He looked into the radar and saw Kion battling Wingsol, concerned when he saw him using the Kaioken. "Let's hope Kion doesn't go too far with this."

Kion then kneed Tukio back, just as Tukio launched a Ki blast at Kion, who blocked it and got sent back a bit. Kion and Tukio then launched multiple Ki blasts at each other, both of them enjoying the battle. Kion then grabbed one of Tukio's Ki blasts and used it as a sword, deflecting some of the Ki blasts. Tukio took interest in Kion's strategy and stopped firing, charging at Kion with full force. Kion put the Ki beam up to Tukio's fist, breaking it, and then both of them flying up into the air. Mheetu saw Dogo wagging his tail with excitement, liking how he was enjoying the match. "Havin some enjoyment here little dude?"

"You bet;" Dogo said, loving what he was seeing. "Tukio's never fought this hard before."

Kion and Tukio then started colliding punches and kicks in the air, landing some on occasion in the battle. Tukio then kicked Kion back, liking how the both of them could fly. "So you can fly too, huh? Teach yourself?"

"Sort of;" Kion said, having fond memories of Simba's training. "See, Simba's my main mentor, and he taught me a lot of what I knew. After we left the Land in the Sky, this is one of the things he taught me. He wanted to wait until the time was right to show me."

Wingsol smiled and then took a sip from his beer, liking what he was seeing. "Guess I can't always be best mentor. I'm just glat Kion's improving."

Tukio then went into his cold personality as he heard Kion mention Simba training him. "Having others help you is pathetic." Kion became confused upon Tukio's words before Tukio kicked Kion in the stomach at full force. He then ground pounded Kion into the floor and launched a bunch of Ki blasts at him. Kion blocked the Ki blasts and Tukio dived down at him, kicking him in the gut and making him cough blood. He then kicked Kion in the face, dragging him across the floor, to which Kion saw the blood on his back as he stood up.

Kion glared at Tukio and growled, knowing he'd have to use all of his power in order to win. "Alright then. You want the max, you'll get it." Tukio remained emotionless as Kion got ready to set his power to the max. "Alright then, Body, don't fail me now. I have to win this, even if it hurts my body beoynd power. Kaioken times three!"

Wingsol became shocked to see Kion making such a risky move, fearing he couldn't take it. "What!? I told him in the note not to go over double!" Wingsol got up and looked at his clenched wings in fear. "If he goes too far with his power then he might as well be toast!" Wingsol then remembered that Kion was the leader of the Band Gods, looking at the radar with slight hope. "Then again, his Ki is far beyond normal in future contrast. Perhaps if the Legend's true then he could surpass his limits with no sweat.

Kion continued to charge up his power and became slightly more buff as a result. He also gained a slightly more red skin tone, giving a somewhat cocky smile after. Tukio held his guard until Kion charged at him and punched him in the face. He then flew under Tukio and launched a Ki beam at him, sending him into the sky. Tukio rolled out of the beam before it went to high, allowing him to block Kion's kick. Kion punched Tukio in the stomach and then kicked him in the face, as Tukio dropped his guard upon the impact of the punch.

Kion then went back rightside up and saw blood on Tukio's face, making him a bit cautious. "Hey, you okay?"

Kion pointed to Tukio's bleeding face, which Tukio brushed off. "No worries. I've felt worse in my life."

Kion gave a free spirited smile upon those words, landing a solid punch at Tukio's stomach. Tukio ended up coughing blood and then Kion front flip kicked him into the ground. Tukio looked up and saw a giant Ki beam going towards him, blocking it, only to be sent farther underground. The Ki beam vanished and Kion watched from above, finding that Tukio was stuck in the ground. He descended and looked into the hole, seeing that Tukio was starting to become unconcious. He then spoke in a caring tone to the blond lion. "Are you okay?"

Tukio rose up at high speeds and stood across from Kion. "Maybe I should teach you a lesson about overestimating your power. Say hello to the soaring fist!" Tukio charged at Kion and performed an uppercut on Kion's jaw, sending him back a bit. Kion took a liking to the attack and then uppercutted Tukio into the air. He then rose up and kicked him in the back, rising over to his front side and punching him in the face, sending him off. He then flew in the direction where Tukio flew in, kicking him straight downward.

Tukio crashed into the floor and got dragged across it as he felt intense pain from it.

Wingsol gave a relieved sigh, glad that Kion was able to control the Kaioken. "That kid sure is something. It took three months for me to get to stage three and he got it in a week."

Wingsol's assistant came into the room with some sandwhiches and whiskey. "Your snacks sir."

"Oh yes, thank you." Wingsol accepted the snacks and set them down beside them, with the assistant accepting the one he offered to her.

Kion descended to the floor and saw Tukio get up, staring him down with more excitement. Tukio stood up and glared at Kion, refusing to back down. "I'll give you this much Kion. You're a lot more than I expected." Tukio cupped his paws together, preparing to unleash an attack. "But let's see you withstand the Galick gun!"

Kion cupped his paws together as well, preparing for his own signature. A blue orb appeared in between Kion's paws, and a purple one in between Tukio's. Kion smirked as he then got ready to fire as intense music plays. "Ka...me...ha...me..."

Tukio charged up his beam as well, getting ready to fire at the same time as Kion. "Galick, gun..."

Kion and Tukio launched their beams at each other at just that moment. "Ha!" Kion and Tukio's beams collided, creating a beam struggle that put Dogo in awe. He then started jumping around in excitement with Simba chuckling at his bubbly nature. Mheetu stepped closer to the fight, wanting to see if Kion would win the collision. Kion and Tukio pushed back as hard as they could, sweating as they did so. The lions saw each other as brutal rivals with different perspectives, but also saw the battle to be rather fun.

Tukio then began to struggle, finding it hard to withstand Kion's power. 'This is insane. His power's equal to my Galick gun! (Gets more serious) Must be because of the Kaioken.'

Kion and Tukio continued to push back with Kion realizing what he had to do. 'At this rate there's no way I'll win. I can't hold back any of my power.'

Wingsol looked and saw Kion's determined face, knowing what was coming. 'Let's hope you can withstant the pressure Kion. The Kaioken is no joke.'

Kion started to charge up his power again, getting ready to finish the match. He felt his muscles strain upon the impact, but that didn't stop him from doing what he did. "Kaioken...times (Pushes the beam back and makes it bigger) four!" The beam got pushed back against Tukio, who tried to push farther, but ended up being forced into the beam. Tukio screamed as he got syncronized with the beam struggle, feeling his energy drain and his muscles weaken. The beam struggle cleared and Kion and Tukio remained standing. Kion let out a free spirited chuckle until he collapsed, with Tukio doing the same just a split second after.

Simba raised his paw to declare the match. "Kion and Tukio are both unable to battle! Therefore, this match is a draw!" Mheetu ran over to Kion and Dogo over to Tukio, wondering if they were alright. They went over to Simba, who felt their pulses for the scared friends. "They're just unconcious. They should be fine." Dogo and Mheetu let out relieved sighs, just as Kion and Tukio woke up and felt their bodies in pain. "That was some match Kion. It was so close that a winner was undecidable."

"Yeah, but it didn't feel like a draw;" Kion said, dissapointed with how he treated his body. "I was the first to go down."

"Just drop it." Tukio stood up in four leg mode, looking at Kion coldly. "If Simba said it was a draw then we'll just leave it at that. Next time though, I'll win."

Dogo became excited for the next match and walked up to Tukio. "So does this mean we'll-"

Tukio punched Dogo with the back of his paw, making him roll backwards five times. "Dogo!" Kion ran over to Dogo in worry, not on board with how Tukio just abused him. He lifted Dogo's head as Simba and Mheetu walked up with him, with Kion glaring angrily at Tukio. "What the heck was that for!?"

"A weak fighter deserves their punishment;" Tukio said, finding Dogo's strength to be useless. "That said, I need him for the tournament. So don't try to stop me." Kion became confused upon that statement as Tukio signaled Dogo to come with him. "Cmon Dogo. We need some more training." Dogo nodded and followed Tukio, who looked back at Kion. "Also Kion. Learn how bodies work." Kion looked at Tukio with a serious look as Tukio walked off, finding him to be a challenging rival to deal with.

Jasiri was seen tending to Kion's cuts in the lair, calling him out on how badly he treated his body with a caring voice. "You really should keep your strength to a safe level Kion. (Puts a bandage on the last cut) I know how much you love fighting and going all out, but there's a limit to how much you should do it."

"Yeah, I noticed that now." Kion chuckled as he then leaned back. "Still. Tukio said something about a tournament. What did he mean?"

"I don't know dude;" Jasiri said. "Must be important though."

Just then, something was tossed over to Kion. Kion opened the note and saw a flier for the tournament Tukio told him about. He got excited and looked to see who handed it to him, only to see that he was gone. Jasiri saw Kion's excitement and decided to join too, thinking that it would be fun. Kion then ran off in excitement to tell his parents about this, as Jasiri smiled at his optomism and ran after him.

Mufasa and Sarabi looked like they were about to do something dangerous as Kion opened the door. "Mom, dad! (Confused) What are you doing?"

Mufasa cleared his throat and walked up to his son, speaking in a humble, yet innocent tone. "Well son, there comes a time in someone's life when they meet a special someone and they...intertwine per-say, and they do something along with their lips intertwining that-"

"Oh, you were gonna make out?"

"Yes. We were gonna make out."

Kion shook the idea out of his mind, getting back to the main point. "Anyway, check this out." Kion showed Mufasa the poster and he looked at it, with Sarabi standing next to him and reading it as well. "There's this new tournament at the arena that has tag teams, and the prize is a Band God orb."

Mufasa and Sarabi seemed concerned on weather or not Kion should enter, hearing about his recent battle with Tukio. "As much as we'd love to son, Simba told us about your battle with this Tukio kid."

Kion looked back on that battle, wanting to face Tukio again one day. He then turned to his parents with a determined look. "Except fighting him again is why I want to join. And because of the fun battles. It sounds like a lot of fun and if I could, then we could get the next Band God orb."

Mufasa and Sarabi saw Kion's point and smiled, with Sarabi speaking with care. "Tell you what Kion. Don't go overboard again, and we'll let you join."

Kion became overjoyed and hugged his parents, excited about the tournament. He then pulled his parents away as he spoke. "Then let's go sign up, cmon!"

Kion ran off with Jasiri looking at Mufasa and Sarabi with a smirk. "I won't be holding back against him." Jasiri ran off with Kion as Mufasa and Sarabi walked off to go with them.

Wingsol was seen in his bedroom, looking out his window and thinking about Kion. He seemed to be worried about the Kaioken taking him over, looking back on his battle with him. He then decided that he would keep Kion from losing his power for good. He gave a confident smile as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

D Grey Man ending theme three plays during the credits as a male singer prepares to sing my passion.

Kion walked out onto the screen and sat down on the grass, looking at the stars as the song begun.

"This is the path that I'll forever follow. It's what I love and it will help me to grow."

Jasiri walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Kion as the song continued.

"And in spite of the danger's that I'll face, I'll never, give up on it or my friends."

Simba walked out onto the screen and sat next to Kion on the other side as the song continued.

"No matter who I battle a friend or foe. This is a passion that I hold with me so."

Mheetu walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Jasiri as the song continued.

"And no matter the dangers we face head on, this is what, my life was destined to be."

Nala walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Simba and the friends looked at the stars as the song continued.

"And whatever I face, I'll never fall to the dark side. And my new power, will help me survive the whole ride."

Dogo was seen looking at the stars in the Out lands as the song continued.

"And this passion, that I have, will stay, forever."

Tukio walked up to the Dogo and put his paw on his shoulder, looking at the stars with him as the song continued.

"Me and my friends will work through this endeavor."

The lion silhouette from the intro was seen looking at the stars through his telescope as the song continued.

"Friends last forever, no matter what the others say."

Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu were seen hanging out under the stars as the song continued.

"And when the times get dark, we'll strive to see the light of day."

Dark Kion was seen commanding his troops with Vitani behind him as the song continued.

"And with my friends, we will, make this world, a more pure place."

Kion and his friends were seen smiling at each other and talking as the song continued.

"And I will protect, them as well, as my passion."

The final parts of the song played as Jasiri saw a shooting star and pointed to it, getting everyone's attention, and then Nala pulled out her phone for a selfie. A phone flash happened and Kion and the others were shown looking at the stars in a picture above Kion's bed with Kion sleeping as the song ended.
