The Legend of Kion

Band God arc Episode fifteen: Multiversal Matter

Mheetu was seen walking around his bedroom, seeming three years younger; showing that this was a chapter on Kion's past, with the lion cub also bored out of his mind. With his head on the ground as he walked, he seemed to have his rear end pointed up as he moved across the floor. When he stopped, he placed his butt down too; lying down and groaning as he sat up, seeming annoyed at how bored he was. "I'm soooo boooooored!"

Nala walked into Mheetu's room and noticed his boredom, walking over to him with a giggle. "Everything okay Mheetu?"

Mheetu looked at Nala bluntly as he spoke. "Define okay." Nala shrugged as Mheetu explained his situation. "I'm just super bored because Kion's busy with Simba. I mean it's great that he's hanging out with his brother and all, but I have nothing else to do."

"Yeah; I can tell. You guys have been hanging out for at least a month." Nala smiled at Mheetu as she spoke. "But hey, there's plenty of other stuff to do. Like, maybe go outside and not whine all day?"

"Nala, if it was whining then my voice would be way higher pitched." Mheetu implied, with Nala rolling her eyes while smirking. "But you do have a point. I'll be outside doing me stuff; maybe break a baobab." Mheetu walked off with Nala seeming to hope he wouldn't do anything wreckless. "Let's hope I can find something fun to do."

Kion was seen making a Ki orb in his paw, with Simba praising him as Naruto Shippuden Silhouette instrumental played as a male singer prepared to sing Growth of Courage.

Kion was seen sleeping in his crib as a four year old launching a Ki blast across the screen. Kion was then seen looking over Pride rock as the song began. "I see it now. When I look into your eyes, I see it (Kion closes his eyes) then."

Kion was shown sparring with Simba as the song continued. "No one knows; (Simba knocks Kion back) no one knows; (Simba helps Kion up as they smile at each other) everything it holds."

Kion and Mheetu were seen racing each other as they gave competetive grins to each other. "As we grow now. We see how life and everything that surrounds it, yet."

Kion crossed the finish line first as he and Mheetu caught their breaths. "No one knows; (Kion holds his paw out to Mheetu) no one knows; (Mheetu smiles) Everything it (Kion and Mheetu fist bump) holds."

Simba was seen showing Kion a Ki orb as Kion became amazed by it. "We got this, we got this, (Kion smiles with determination) we got this now. (Kion holds his paw out in attempt to make a Ki orb) If at first we don't succeed, (Kion fails to make a stable Ki orb and it explodes in his and Simba's faces) Go on, (Kion giggles as Simba smiles) and try again."

Kion was seen fighting some sort of dark matter made figure. "There's so much that I've never known. (Kion gets kicked back by the matter figure) About this world and all it's ever shown. (Kion becomes scared as the dark matter figure charges at him) And although, (Kion charges his fist) I am scared, (Kion blocks the dark matter figures punch) I'll never give up."

Kion kicked the dark matter figure back and he regained his balance, charging at Kion as he charged too. "Yes deep down I am truly scared. (Kion and the dark matter figure collide a punch) But deep down there's much more that I have beared. (Kion knees the dark matter figure) And although, I am scared, (Kion punches the dark matter figure and it covers the screen) I'll never give up."

Nala is seen making sure that Mheetu's okay after the fight, with Mheetu trying to assure her worry while annoyed. "There are some battles I can't win. (Kion and Simba join in and Kion and Mheetu start chatting) "But that won't hurt my strength from within. (Kion and Mheetu run off and start racing, with Simba and Nala giggling) And although, (Kion and Mheetu are seen smiling at each other) I am scared, (Kion and Mheetu then collide a punch) I'll never give up."

The screen broke and showed Kion looking into a pond as he saw his reflection. "Despite all that could break me, (Scar is shown on one half of Kion's body, making him rather scared) I'll always stand tall. (Kion looks ahead with determination and seriousness) With my special, growth of (Kion smiles) courage."

Kion was shown giving a peace sign to the audience, with Simba rubbing his head, Mheetu leaning on a wall while crossing his arms and trying to look cool, and Nala giving a kind wave as the song ended; with The Legend of Kion behind them.

Mheetu walked around the Pride lands and seemed to be almost as bored as he was before. "Well it's a little better. At least now I have options beyond walking around with my butt pointed up and my head on the floor." Mheetu realized how dumb that was and looked at the audience. "Remind me never to do that again." Mheetu ran off and looked around to find something to do, noticing a bright light and walking up to it. As he jumped over a bush, he saw the light coming from a cave. This subtle convincing was enough to intrigue the cub as he walked over to it.

Mheetu may be cocky and snobbish, but he's a bit more simple minded than Kion; as in, a bit of an idiot. Still, this could convince even Kion to be interested, as the two cubs were the same age. Once Mheetu got over to where the light was coming from, he looked at the leaves that were guarding it. His curiosity peeked him, making him open up the leaves and walk inside. What he saw next wasn't anything to look back upon.

Mheetu looked at the walls, seeing a bunch of paintings that looked off. They also looked familiar somehow; as if he'd heard of what they showed before. When he got closer, he saw a figure that looked like Goku; intriguing him, and not just because he loved the anime Goku was in. He then saw what looked like Jiren, giving him fond memories of the most recent arc. He was confused however. How could these paintings possibly show the Dracon Ball scenarios.

Mheetu touched the painting and felt as if he was watching the episode again. It was a positive feeling however, as he felt himself enjoying what he saw. He had to show this to Kion, and he ran off to find him.

Kion was seen looking down Pride rock as he looked over to Simba, who was seen preparing a slide with a trash can lid. When Kion walked over to Simba, he seemed to be interested in what they were doing. "Are you sure this is safe Simba?"

"Not entirely, but that's what makes it fun." Simba explained with kindness. "You'll never be able to open up your spirit if you never take risks." Kion took these words to heart and sat down in front of Simba, with Simba putting his paws on Kion's shoulders. "Ready?" Kion nodded and Simba launched them down from the steps of Pride rock, sliding on the side of the staircase. When riding down, Kion seemed to be having an amazing time; putting his paws up and cheering. He then got a cut on his right paw on a thorn, which he looked at and smiled at.

Kion and Simba arrived at the bottom of Pride rock and got lunged off the trash can lid; with Kion getting up and walking up to Simba. "Simba, (Shows Simba his cut) look." Simba looked at Kion's cut and smiled at his younger brother gaining a lively nature. Kion then saw Mheetu walking up to him, hoping something fun was happening. "Hey Mheetu."

"Hey Kion. (Looks at Simba) Hey Simba." Simba waved to Mheetu, who walked up to Kion with excitement. "I just found this awesome cave that showed some of the events from the Dragon Ball anime. It's like the manga in rock form."

Kion seemed intrigued by this as Simba stood up with a smile. "Go ahead and check it out then. Sounds exciting, but I have plans with Nala." Kion nodded as Simba felt something being slapped onto his butt, with him looking at it and seeing a note that said property of Nala. Mheetu snickered as Simba rolled his eyes while smirking. "Yeah, very funny. Now go check out that cave." Kion and Mheetu nodded and ran off, with Simba looking at the note with curiosity. 'Could my butt really become Nala's property? I sure hope so.'

Mheetu showed Kion the cave as he moved over the leaves and let Kion look inside. As Kion entered, Mheetu went in with him; with both of them looking at the walls. When Kion started to see the carvings, he became intrigued; hoping that these weren't a fraud. "Sure is something worth looking at." Kion then saw what looked like universe three's world, full of technology; this intrigued him just as much and he headed over to it. "Looks like it's more than just the seventh universe."

Mheetu walked over to what looked like universe eleven, showing Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo. "Same on this side. Looks like whoever carved all of these was a hardcore fan of the anime." Mheetu snickered as he pulled out a marker and drew something on Jiren, which was then revealed to be a mustache. "You always did feel like Toppo's twin."

"We shouldn't be messing with these Mheetu." Kion replied with caution. "Who knows what could happen?" Kion saw what looked like black goo, with Mheetu seeing Kion walk over to it and walked over with him. Kion seemed confused as to what purpose this goo held. "What's this doing here?"

"Eh; this cave's at least a million years old." Mheetu looked at the goo again. "This was probably here for about two hundred." The goo glowed and lit up the room, with Kion and Mheetu seeing paintings of them. The two lion cubs seemed surprised "Maybe FIVE hundred."

Kion saw that the paintings showed him fighting a dark clone of himself, making him confused when he saw it. "Is that a dark me?" Mheetu shrugged with Kion looking at what looked like his and Tukio's collision. "And what's this? Who's this dude and why are we launching beams at each other?"

"Maybe it's from another universe." Kion and Mheetu got an idea and both of them became excited. "There's no way we could be a part of the Dragon Ball multiverse.

"There's no use denying it dude." Kion then spoke with excitement. "We're one of the twelve universes!"

"Awesome!" Kion and Mheetu high fived and a question came to Mheetu's mind. "How come we didn't get notified about the Tournament of Power when Zeno hade it happen?"

"Eh, probably not important." Kion suggested. "And besides. The Tv did that for us." Mheetu looked at the good and picked it up, worrying Kion. "Hold on dude. Maybe we should touch that."

"I wanna see what else it does." Mheetu explained as he put it into his pack. "If it can show us what could be our future then there's no denying that it can do good."

Kion thought for a moment and saw Mheetu's point. "Good point. (Points to Mheetu with a smirk) But I'm getting a look at it tomorrow." Mheetu nodded as Kion then stood up. "Care to race home?" Mheetu whiffed his hair with a competetive spirit as he and Kion then raced off, with the goo inside of Mheetu's backpack glowing without him noticing.

Kion was seen arriving home as he waved goodbye to Mheetu, who was heading off to his house. "See ya tomorrow Mheetu!"

"You too Kion!" Mheetu called back, and then Kion went inside his house.

Kion closed the door and walked over to Simba, who was seen playing video games. "Hey Simba." Kion hopped onto the couch and sat down next to Simba. "Kinda thought you'd be on MY console."

"Well ya know, I didn't wanna steal it for the day." Simba replied. "Nala's in the bathroom." Kion nodded as Simba asked him a question. "So how was the cave?"

"Pretty awesome actually." Kion answered with optimism. "It looked like it showed the twelve universes, and it looked like we were a part of one." Simba became interested by this information. "Me and Mheetu even saw carvings of us put on there."

Simba thought for a moment and figured that Kion could be learning more about the universe itself. Just as he thought that, Nala came out of the bathroom and walked up to Simba, sitting down next to him. "Good thing I don't eat as much as Mheetu, or else I would've been in there for a while, and your bathroom would have to be blocked out. (Sees Kion and smiles) Hey Kion."

"Hey Nala." Kion then watched the game Simba was playing with Nala, seeming interested in the information he found today.

As nighttime came, Mheetu was seen in his room with his backpack on his bed, opening it up and pulling out the goo. He seemed intrigued by why it glowed, as it seemed to be lifeless upon it's color. Setting it down on the ground, he looked at it and hoped it would do something. Despite his curious look however, the goo didn't budge; it just stayed there like the lifeless goop that it made itself out to be. This did dissapoint Mheetu, but he still thought it was pretty cool. Mostly for the glowing it could do, but still found himself intrigued.

The young lion cub picked up the goo just as he heard someone knocking on his door, which surprised him and made him worry about how someone else would react. 'Oh no. Someone's here.' Mheetu ran over to a closet with the goo and opened it up, putting the goo in and locking the closet. "Come in!"

Nala opened the door and walked in, seeming to be curious to what Mheetu was doing. "Hey Mheetu; I just got back from Simba's. How did your cave search with Kion go?"

"Oh, he told you about the cave?" Mheetu began to tell about his time in the cave. "In that case it was awesome! It showed the fighters who participated in the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super, and then it showed us on one of the walls. It was super cool."

Nala giggled a bit, remembering something else Kion told her. "He also said that you guys could be a part of the Dragon Ball multiverse. (Rubs Mheetu's head) And if that's the case then I don't want you running around wanting a multiversal tournament."

"I think one tournament of power is enough for now." Mheetu replied as he moved Nala's paw with a smile. "Even though I'm too awesome to lose." Nala rolled her eyes while smiling as Mheetu wiped his mane. "Just look at this mane; cooler than Kion's and shows off my awesomeness."

"Okay, that's something for you to debate about." Nala walked off and wished Mheetu goodnight. "Goodnight Mheetu."

"Night Nala." Nala walked out of Mheetu's room and Mheetu wiped his forehead in relief, glad that he was able to hide the goo. As he opened his closet, he wished the goo goodnight. "And goodnight to you too random goo me and Kion found." Mheetu closed his closet door, with the goo then glowing again.

Kion was shown to be playing video games and was seen to be invested in the time he was having, not noticing how late it was. This must've been a game that Kion was truly engaged with, as he didn't even notice Simba sitting down next to him. Simba snickered a bit at Kion's love for the game and looked at it, which seemed to be a platformer. "Looks pretty interesting."

"Sonic Mania Plus." Kion replied. "It's the same as Sonic Mania, only they added Mighty and Ray and changed some of the stuff to make it better. I'd more than worthy of being my favorite 2d platformer in the history of platformers."

"Very interesting." Simba then looked outside and chuckled a bit. "Oh yeah, it's time to hit the hay."

Kion looked outside and saw how dark it was, giggling a bit at how he didn't notice. "Mind if I finish this level?"

"Knock yourself out." Kion nodded upon Simba's words and arrived at the next boss, which appeared to be against the Spider Mobile. It was clear that Kion was very skilled at the game, as the attacks themselves were all dodged and Kion even managed to hit him two times in thirty seconds. After about seventy more seconds, he defeated the boss and impressed Simba with his skills. "That's one fast victory."

"I've beaten this game three times already, so I know the boss left and right." Kion explained with investment. "As soon as this cutscene finishes I can get off; that's when it autosaves." Simba nodded and the cutscene ended after about five seconds, with Kion pausing the game and getting off. "Well, night Simba."

"You too Kion." Simba headed out of Kion's room and Kion turned his game off, heading over to his bed to get to sleep.

The next day, Mheetu awoke and stretched his arms out; being excited to take the goo out of his closet. When he got up, the first thing he did was walk over to his closet and open it up; only to see that the goo was gone. This surprised him, as he was certain that the goo couldn't move. "Did it gain a new ability or something?"

"Maybe it's just natural." Mheetu looked behind himself and backed up into his closet when he saw who was behind him. A mysterious dark body that seemed to be a leopard. "Greetings young lion. It appears our time together was short, but I didn't really care all that much for it."

Mheetu walked up to the dark matter leopard and seemed confused upon seeing it. "Who the heck are you?"

The dark matter leopard chuckled as he then introduced himself. "My name is Dark Matter. And you're going to be one of my victims."

Mheetu nodded slowly as he then backed up and closed the closet behind him, giving Kion a call as soon as he did. "Cmon dude, pick up; I can't beat this dude up by myself." Dark Matter then came into the room, giving Mheetu worry and made him hope Kion would answer.

Kion was shown to be sleeping as he heard his phone ring, which woke him up and he went to answer it. He was pretty tired however, so when he answered it, he wasn't as energetic as he usually is. "Yeah?"

Mheetu was shown on the other line with Dark Matter pinning him against the door. "Kion! The matter's alive and it's trying to kill me!?"

Kion seemed confused by this as he got up and responded. "Mheetu, as awesome as that sounds, how do I know you're not pranking me?"

"Would a prank involve him not being in my closet!?" Mheetu asked. "At least not in the same form he was before."

Kion thought for a moment and shrugged, figuring that Mheetu wouldn't be lying. "I guess not dude. I'll be there as fast as I can; just don't try anything too risky." Kion hung up and then walked off to the kitchen. "To be fair, me being possessed by my sadistic great uncle could also be a good defense."

Kion's half of the screen went away as Mheetu was then seen being horrified by Dark Matter. "Aw, isn't the little lion cub so itty bitty scared?"

"That's not even how you baby talk, thank you very much." Mheetu stated bluntly, with Dark Matter then starting to choke him. "I'm, pretty sure, this is, illlegal."

"Oh; it's more than illegal." Dark Matter glared into Mheetu's eyes with Mheeti shivering in fear, hoping that he didn't die. When Dark Matter thought he was about to finish Mheetu off, the lion cub went black and Dark Matter set him down. He then kicked the door down, walking off with a menacing look on his face. When he looked outside and saw the Pride lands, he seemed intrigued by what he could do with it; jumping out Mheetu's window just as someone snapped a picture.

Mheetu was shown to be holding his phone just as Kion arrived. "Where's this dark matter dude?" Mheetu ran over to Kion and showed him the photo, giving Kion an idea of what was going on. "This is him?"

"Yep. He even tried to choke me to death; thank god I took those breath holding classes." Kion worried what could happen if Dark Matter was too much for the Pride lands to take.

Zazu was seen flying over to Pride rock as Mufasa walked over to the edge and looked over it, seeming to enjoy the view. He then saw Zazu, who seemed to have seen something odd. "Everything okay Zazu?"

"I wish I could say sire." Zazu thought for a moment, wondering what Mufasa would say, or how he'd react. "I was just flying around and I saw what looked like some dark minion messing with the animals."

"I see." Mufasa thought for a moment and figured that the creature needed a stern speaking to. "Bring him to me."

"That may be difficult." Zazu added with worry. "He doesn't look like a normal leopard. He has a dark coat."

Mufasa became surprised by this information and figured he had a clue of what it meant. "Perhaps it could be the multiversal matter." Zazu became confused by this and Mufasa explained further. "You see Zazu, the matter is spread all across the multiverse; each universe getting it's own."

"And it makes that dark thing we saw?"

Mufasa looked down and saw his youngest son with his friend, seeming intrigued as to how the son knew that. "Yes. Do tell; how did you acquirre that information."

"Well we found him in this cave Mheetu showed me and-"

"Kion brought him home without hesitation."

"What!? (Looks at Mheetu) You're the one who brought him home; I was worried about it!"

"Yeah, well you shoulda been more worried about it!"

"Alright you two, that's enough." Mufasa managed to stop the two from fighting as he then looked at Kion. "Care to explain yourself."

"Gladly." Kion then begun his explination as Simba walked out with interest. "Feel free to listen Simba. (Simba nods) So Mheetu showed me this awesome cave that showed the contestants for the Tournament of Power; something I thought was only in Dragon Ball Super. And then we saw ourselves up there, along with me battling some other lion that looked pretty edgy. So anyway, then we found the matter and Mheetu wanted to take it home, so we did. And when he went to get it today, which I presume was to give me MY turn with it, from what I can gather it turned into that dark thing."

Mheetu looked at Kion with confusion, knowing that he was the one who usually did the fourth wall breaks. And even then, that was before now in some areas. "How did you know about the part you weren't there for?"

"Pssh. Duh. (Pulls up a script) I read that part of the script." Kion explained, and he then threw it aside. "And now we should just continue following it instead of being idiots."

Mufasa let out a chuckle, confusing Kion and Mheetu as the King then spoke aloud. "Ah Kion. Your curiosity was just like mine from when I was a young lad."

Kion seemed to be lightened up a bit by being a tad similar to his father. "Really?" Mufasa nodded his head yes and Kion looked over the Pride lands. "Then I guess you won't care if I kick that matter dude's butt!"

Kion ran off with Simba and Mufasa heading off after him, with Mheetu also being excited. "Wait up!" Zazu flew after the others to make sure they would have some sky backup.

Kion and the others were seen searching for where the dark minion was, figuring that the Pride lands was a big enough place to not needing them to split up. With Kion on his father's back, he started to wonder what Dark Matter could do. "Maybe he can launch a giant meteor in the sky and make it crash onto a random planet, making a giant hole that sucks up space. The area. Not the stuff we have."

Mufasa chuckled as he looked on ahead with interest in Kion's theory. "Despite the matter being a part of our multiverse Kion, no one knows straight away what it can do. It's a mystery to everything that it's discovered by until the moment it reveals it's true power."

Simba seemed skeptical on what the matter could do. "You say that like it's a good thing. (Rubs his chin) What I wanna know is how we can stop him. (Puts his paw down) There's the obvious solution of killing him, but I wouldn't feel too comfortable introducing Kion and Mheetu to real life death; at least not yet. Maybe when they're a bit older."

Zazu flew up to Kion with a question in mind. "So what exactly made you and Mheetu think taking the matter home was a good idea?"

"Well Mheetu mostly, maybe not me." Kion corrected with kindness. "And I guess it was just because it was in a room explaining our multiverse. Cause when you really think about it, being a part of a multiverse from an anime you love is a pretty huge deal."

"Yes, I suppose you're right about that." Zazu replied, and then he smirked. "Your naivety is one reason I feel you relate to your father."

"You mean because you were his babysitter when he was Simba's age?" Kion asked, with Zazu nodding his head yes and having fond memories of his time with Mufasa; even if there were also some bad times. "I wonder what living my dad's live was like. (Leans his head on his paws) I know a lot about it, so maybe it was a super adventurous story. Like The Legend of Zelda."

Zazu chuckled a bit as he looked back on the times he had before all that changed thanks to Scar's device. Now they lived in a much more modern world. "Perhaps. Our world sure has advanced from when Mufasa was prince. Now we have all kinds of devices that without Scar, we could never had. Well at least he did THAT thing for us. Too bad most of the stuff he did was sadistic."

Kion thought about what his dad must've felt with what he'd gone through, with Zazu then flying up and looking on ahead. When using his bird-like vision, he spotted Dark Matter and flew down to Mufasa. "He's up ahead sire. I suggest we stay as sneaky as possible so we don't end up being any of his possible victims."

Mufasa nodded and continued onward, with Kion and the others staying with him. Dark Matter was then seen to have spotted them, seeming to be enjoying their presence. "I was wondering when they'd show up." Dark Matter stepped down from his throne, which was made of zebra bodies, and then he walked on over to Kion and the others. "I was wondering when you'd show up. Now I can have some fun."

"You can have plenty of fun in the Out lands; where you belong." Mufasa ordered, with Dark Matter then giving a chuckle. "And I'm not joking."

"Oh, I know. I just think it's adorable how you think you're my boss!" Dark Matter almost struck Mufasa in the chest, only for Kion to have grabbed his sword from upfront. This gave Dark Matter a blunt look, as he knew where Kion stood. "Care to explain how you did that?"

"I just jumped down while you were talking about your boss or something." Kion explained, and then Dark Matter started shaking in some of his limbs; making Kion cautious. "You okay dude?"

"You'll see soon enough." Dark Matter assured Kion as he then turned into a purple version of him. This dissapointed him when he looked at his body, with him having a lackluster power limit. "At least I can use two leg mode; something I forgot your dad couldn't do."

"Eh. Isn't a fight if it isn't fair." Kion implied. "Though I'm not much of a fighter myself. Is it as easy as anime makes it look."

Dark Matter smirked as he then raised his paw and charged up a Ki blast. "Oh kid, you haven't seen the least bit of it in real life." Dark Matter went to land a Ki punch on Kion, only for Mufasa to step in and block it. Kion looked up at his father, who looked at Dark Matter with a firm glare. "So the King decided to stand up for himself huh? (Smirks) You tried; I'll give you that. But you're still weak." Dark Matter launched the Ki blast at Mufasa, sending him back and dragging him across the floor; hurting him greatly as Kion, Simba, and Mheetu ran over.

"Dad!" Kion lifted his father's head with him and Simba charged up a Ki blast himself, putting it over Mufasa's chest. "Wait Simba; won't that hurt more?"

Simba nods his head no with a smile as he then heals his father, who gets up and rubs Simba's head affectionetely. "Thank you Simba." Mufasa went two leg mode and charged at Dark Matter, colliding a punch with him.

"Ah cool, our dad CAN use two leg mode." Kion then became curious to what Simba's blast was. "That blast though. It didn't hurt him. Why is that?"

"There are two different types of Ki Kion; one that hurts and one that heals." Simba explained. "Of course, everyone has their own Ki color; even if it's never described. The healing one is whenever you use your Ki for medical attention."

Kion seemed interested in this form of Ki, with Mheetu looking at the audience with a smile. "See everyone? Sometimes an explination is worth the wait; even if it's super short. (Looks at Kion and Simba) Now then; let's watch Mufasa kick butt." Kion and Simba nodded and ran off with Mheetu.

Mufasa kicked Dark Matter back and sent him into a tree, with Dark Matter getting up without any effort. "So you're a lot stronger than the old fart I thought you were. (Mufasa is shown with his determined look) You can move, fight, and look like you're serious. (Dark Matter is shown smirking) So I can give you my appreciation, as you actually gave a good fight." Dark Matter dashed up to Mufasa and glared into his eyes. "But that doesn't mean you'll win." Dark Matter backflip kicked Mufasa in the jaw and sent him back a bit.

Dark Matter charged up a Ki beam as Mufasa charged at him, jumping over the Ki beam and back kicking Dark Matter in the head. Dark Matter backflipped into his original position; barely fazed by the attack, and ready to continue the fight. With a swift lunge, he elbowed Mufasa in the stomach and frontflip kicked him into the floor; which then allowed him to start crushing his head, gaining the fear of the three cubs watching. "Too bad you're just as weak as when you fought Scar. As a normal lion."

Simba stood up with determination and charged at Dark Matter, kicking him right in the back of his head. Dark Matter got send back a bit and felt the back of his head, feeling a drop of blood; bringing his paw over to his mouth and licking it. Disgusted by this, Simba charged a Ki blast and launched it at Dark Matter; who blocked it and rolled his eyes. Walking from the smoke, Simba dashed up to Dark Matter and started choking him. "Never mess with my family." Simba smashed Dark Matter's head into the floor, walking away afterwards.

Dark Matter stood up and launched a Ki sword at Simba, who deflected it from behind and knocked it right into Dark Matter's chest. The leopard fell to the ground with Kion and Mheetu rushing over to him, as Simba and Mufasa headed over to him as well; along with Zazu flying up to him. Dark Matter then lifted his head and coughed blood, showing that his time was almost up as he spoke. "Well, well, well Simba. You actually did something your father couldn't. That's impressive."

"Pssh. Save the compliments." Simba demanded to know what Dark Matter was up to. "What were you doing with that zebra throne and all the rest?"

"Pretty simple work actually." Dark Matter replied. "All I really wanted to do was kill all of the animals and have them as a kingdom. See, I'm a prototype for the main antagonist of the series; which is why these chapters happen in your past rather than your present."

Kion seemed confused by this and shook his head with a fast pace, looking at Dark Matter with confusion. "What the heck are you talking about?"

Dark Matter laughed as he stood up, looking at Dark Kion with a cold smile. "You'll grow up to do great things Kion." Both Kion and Dark Matter were shown with everyone else knowing he couldn't fight back. "Don't overlook it." Dark Matter turned into ashes before everyones eyes, showing that he'd died.

Kion seemed conflicted on whether or not this death related to him, with Kion noticing his conflicted look. With Simba putting his paw on Kion's shoulder, Mufasa spoke to his eldest son. "I'll see you and Kion at home."

Simba nodded as Mufasa ran off, with Mheetu worrying for Kion as well. "You okay?"

"Simba." Kion clenched his fist and looked at Simba with determination. "I want you to train me." Simba became surprised upon Kion's request, not knowing how to take it. "Death isn't a joke, and I don't want anyone else to face it like this, or any other way. (Looks at his paw as he unclenches it) I know I've never been too fond of violence, but it's worth it to protect the ones I love. And hey; (Smiles) maybe I'll even like it."

Simba found Kion's words to be admirable and smiled, knowing that he'd do well. "No problem. Let's not tell mom and dad though. With how protective they are over you, they'd freak if they heard about this."

"Can I join in too?" Mheetu asked, excited to learn how to fight just like Kion. Simba nodded and Mheetu cheered. "Yes!" Kion, Simba, and Mheetu headed home, with Kion looking back at Dark Matter; wondering what would've happened if he'd saved him. Despite knowing how evil he was, he knew that death was undeserved.

Kion was seen thinking in his bed at night about Dark Matter's death. Even though he didn't care about Dark Matter, he still felt like there was a better solution than to kill him. This was because however, that he was not only naive, but good hearted. He had the heart of gold that we all see in every chapter he's in, inspiring the characters and helping them all grow just like he is. Despite that however, this was before the main series; where he didn't know that death, at times, was forced to be an option. So he didn't understand why Dark Matter had to die.

Someone knocked on Kion's door and Kion looked over to it. "It's open!"

Simba opened Kion's door and wakled over to him with a smile. "I just wanted to let you know that we'll be starting training in the new lair tomorrow. I had everything started about three months ago. Just you and me. Mheetu will start his soon enough."

Kion sat up and smiled at Simba, hiding his confliction. "Thanks dude." Simba nodded and walked off, wth Kion sighing as soon as Simba closed the door; not wishing to worry Simba. As much as he worried himself, he didn't want to leave Simba in doubt; not after requesting that Simba trained him. It made him feel weak inside knowing what could happen to his friends. He didn't want to worry himself, but he just couldn't help it; he was too worried to brush it off. Lying down again, he looked at the top bunk and figured that he needed to lighten up, but also knew that it'd take some effort.

Kion and Simba were seen training in the lair as Simba landed a solid punch on Kion. Kion moved Simba's arm and tried to land a punch on him, with Simba blocking it and kicking Kion in the side. Kion stood up after he fell and blocked Simba's kick, landing a punch on his stomach; only for Simba to grab his arm and throw his body over him. Kion barely managed to regain his balance and charged at Simba, who collided a punch with him; with Kion then jumping up and kicking him in the face. This showed Simba that Kion was getting the point, with him then low sweeping Kion.

Kion fell on his back and punched the ground with the back of his fist, with Simba then lending him his paw with a smile. Kion accepted Simba's offer and stood up with a sigh. "Is everything okay Kion? You've been acting weird since breakfast."

Kion shrugged, not wanting to sound like an edgelord. "I guess I'm just shook from Dark Matter's death. It got me thinking about what my friends could go through to get killed, and I just don't want them to suffer the same fate." Simba put his paw on Kion's shoulder and punched him in the stomach, showing him that he knew what he had to do. Kion looked at Simba with determination and punched him in the face, with the two brothers smiling and continuing their spar. The two of them continued sparring as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

Bleach ending Sakura Biyori played as Kion was seen looking at the stars above from Pride rock, with the song My time playing.

Mufasa was shown in the stars above as a female voice began the song. "I may not be strong. At least not right now. (Simba walks up to Kion and sits next to him) But I'll eventually grow, (Simba wraps his arm around Kion) through my life."

Mheetu walked up to Kion and Simba and sat next to Kion, looking at the stars with them as Sarabi was shown. "And although it's hard, not being so strong, (Nala walks up to Kion, Simba, and Mheetu and sits down next to Simba) That doesn't mean I should ever take, (Simba and Nala smile at each other, with Kion and Mheetu fist bumping) It as strife."

Kion was seen lying down in his bed as he thought about his love for martial arts. "After all I had just started doing this thing. (Kion closes his eyes and thinks of himself as a strong warrior) I see myself improving along the way. (Kion looks at his paw as he opens his eyes) I will always protect my friends and family; (Kion clenches his paw with confidence) And I will never (Kion hops out of his bed and runs off with a smile) give up on them."

Kion was seen sparring with Simba in the lair, seeming to be improving. "This is something that I love; for fun and for much more. (Kion lands a solid blow on Simba's face, surprising him) And I just, (Simba smiles) get better; (Simba knocks Kion back with a knee) Every single day. (Kion regains his balance and he and Simba walk up to each other) Even though, this demon Scar, (Kion and Simba stand in front of each other) Is inside my very soul. (Kion and Simba smile at each other) I will always, have faith in myself. I'll get strong in (Kion and Simba fist bump with their paws being shown) my time."

The screen backs out on Kion and Simba a bit, showing both of their bodies in two leg mode; with the song ending and showing an art work of them in the last pose of the outro.
