The Legend of Kion

Band God arc Episode nineteen: The Truth of Dogo Part two

Kion woke up in some sort of cage that had all of the bars surrounded by fire, confused as to what was going on, despite being in a fire cage before. When Kion looked around, he saw that no one was guarding the cage; it seemed to confuse him a bit more, as Dark Kion should be much more prepared. Despite not seeing any guards however, Kion did see Dogo, who was looking outside the cage. Since Dogo was looking in the direction of a window, he saw all of the destruction across the Pride lands. It made his heart sink upon seeing everything that'd happened because of his and Rei Rei's plan.

Kion walked up to Dogo and sat down next to him, putting his paw on his shoulder. Dogo looked at Kion, who seemed concerned for him, and the young jackal spoke with guilt. "I guess Kupatana's not happening how we planned."

Kion looked out the window and spoke with a confident voice. "But that doesn't mean it won't happen. We just have to break out of here." Kion then became concerned about something and looked at Dogo, wanting to know how he was involved in all of this. "Before we do though, there's something I wanna know." Dogo looked at Kion and awaited his request. "When you said you wanted to tell me something earlier. Did it relate to this."

Dogo's heart sank once again. He didn't know how to respond to Kion without crying beforehand. His thoughts were spiraling out of control; he could barely even breath. The amount of emotions he was feeling were all negative, but he knew he'd have to take them in full circle. So he breathed in through his nose, and then out through his mouth; he knew what he had to do. So he looked at Kion again with as much confidence as he could gain, which wasn't much. "Here's the story. The entire story."

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.)"

Dogo 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 Tukio 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 Dogo 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, Dogo 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!"

Simba was seen in another cave with Mheetu and Nala, as the former tried to bash the cage open with a fire extinguisher. Mheetu smashed the extinguisher into a fire pole and saw no dents, smashing it even harder with Nala rolling her eyes. "You try spraying the foam onto it?"

Mheetu saw the idea Nala just gave him as one that could work and tried to extinguish the flames. It proved to be worthless though, as the fire stayed the same. "No dice. Must be trick fire."

Simba spawned a water orb and flung one at a fire bar, finding that it was immune to more than just foam. The lion cub sat up as he looked at the scenario. "Must be a differnet kind of fire than anyone else has ever seen before. Something of a magical fire that can only be taken out by a specific spell or Ki based attack."

Mheetu slammed the extinguisher on the floor and started ranting on the situation. "Well that's just great! (Starts walking around) The extinguisher doesn't work, Simba's water attacks to nothing, and now it could be a magical fire all shown to us in one minute! What're we gonna face next!? (Simba walks over to Mheetu) A world ending meteor that no one can stop because the ones who care are trapped forever!?" Simba grabbed Mheetu by his chest and slapped him on both sides of his face, giving him time to calm down and breathe. "Phew. Thanks Simba."

"Any time." Simba walked up to the cage after letting go of Mheetu, trying to find out what kind of fire they were surrounded by. "If I remember correctly then the book I read about this on stated that the fire could only be awoken by an attack from the purest of lion's."

Nala started to worry about the Pride lands, hoping that everything would turn out for the best there. "Well whoever that is better come soon. I can only imagine what kind of torture everyone else would be going through right now." Simba walked up to Nala and rubbed her shoulders, calming her down and giving her positive vibes and feelings. She still worried about the Pride lands however. "Still. I hope we can save the Pride lands in time. Not just for us, but for everyone."

"We've faced moments like this before Nala; I won't give up now." Simba responded, making Nala smile at how brave he was being. She expected it, but that's why she gained more joy from it.

Jasiri was seen in another fire cage looking directly into the fire. She seemed to be thinking of a way to escape, while also trying to remember if she'd seen anything like this before. She then remembered something she saw Kion do in the past, and while it was corny, that was part of who she was. So she turned around and made her butt face the fire. She then released a three second rotten egg fart, making a yellow cloud go through the fire bar (pffffft). The fire launched at Jasiri's rear end and she was barely able to move out of the way in time, getting a whiff of her nasty gas attack.

Kovu was seen working on some sort of sphere shaped device as Jasiri walked up to her to explain how she was doing. "Well; I almost set my butt on fire. How's your attempt going?"

"Good I hope." Kovu got finished with his device and managed to make the sphere glow. It was also able to intrigue Jasiri, who wanted to see what it could do. He then pressed a button on the device that made Kovu vanish with it, only for Kovu to appear again and gain a blunt look when he saw what happened. "Dang it." Kovu put his device away as he explained his plan. "The idea was that I was going to teleport into Dark Kion's lab and shut off the systems. Guess he deactivated teleportation systems too."

"He must really know what he's doing then." Jasiri began to worry about the others, hoping that they were okay. "Let's hope no one else is gonna try to fart on the bars like I did. (Looks around) Maybe there's something we can use in the room to escape."

Kovu got a whiff of the fart Jasiri let out and covered his nose, smirking as he spoke about it. "Ya know, you're a lot grosser than a lot of the other girls I've met in my life."

"Ask for a pop quiz on whether or not I care; you'll get a special prize if you pass." Jasiri snarked, and then she looked up at the vents and got an idea. She didn't know if the vents were protected or not, but it couldn't help to check. As she jumped up to the vent, she kicked it open and knocked off the door. She then climbed in and looked back at Kovu. "Cmon dude. We gotta find the others."

Kovu smirked as Jasiri climbed in with Kovu jumping in after her and cracking a joke. "Make sure your butt stays hot and not in the gassy way." Jasiri rolled her eyes and continued crawling with Kovu trailing behind her.

Dogo was just finishing explaining everything to Kion, with his last words being the hardest to say. "And now...if Dark Kion and Rei Rei manage to do anything else, it could result in the Pride lands being taken over by them; assuming of course that they don't abandon it." Dogo tried to hold back his tears, making sure they didn't come down. "I swear; I wanted to tell you, but I took too long."

Kion took in everything that Dogo said, not knowing what to say to it. Although he knew the Tukio thing was part of the plan, the rest of what happened was rather surprising to him. He never expected someone as bubbly, innocent, and optimistic as Dogo to be involved in such a cruel plan. He kept his cool though, seeing that Dogo tries to explain before it was too late; even if the young jackal failed, he still tried. "So if we don't stop them we'll all be goners."

Dogo flinched at that last word. Goners. It rang him like a bell. It was a word that he hoped not to hear among many others. He'd hoped that he and the others could get through this, but that word alone showed their chances. He wished he'd never agreed to this plan; even if he would've died, Kion would've still survived. He couldn't help but start crying silently, with tears falling and making Kion worry for the young jackal. "Dogo?"

"Yes!" Dogo started crying harder and Kion brought him in for a hug. Dogo started making crying sounds, unable to hold back his regret any longer. "I didn't, know, that you'd show me..."

Dogo couldn't speak any more and Kion comforted him, wanting Dogo to feel happiness. "You couldn't have stopped this dude. The plan would've happened even if you didn't comply." Kion sighed, knowing that he'd have to do something about this. "Even if I never experienced this, I should know how it feels."

Dogo kept crying, barely finding the courage to speak. "I'm, so, sorry, about, all this!"

Kion shushed Dogo softly as he pulled him away, speaking with a soft and caring tone, along with a soft smile. "It's gonna be okay Dogo. We'll get through this." Dogo was about to speak again, but Kion stopped him. "Throughout my life, I've faced death, betrayal, and even suicide. You're not showing me any of those things right now." Dogo wiped his tears, not knowing what to make of Kion's words. "I'll admit; I wish I'd known sooner. But that doesn't make it any less important to focus on the mission, or keep my word. If anyone needs Kupatana right now, it's you."

Dogo was barely able to crack a smile and hugged Kion, with Kion wrapping his arms around him again. Dogo then questioned how they would get out. "Hold up. (Pulls Kion away) How are we gonna get started?"

Kion looked at the bars and signaled Dogo to stay still, going into two leg mode and putting his paw up. Kion spawned a blue Ki orb and launched it at the fire bar, only to get covered in soot, which made Kion cough as he then wiped soot from his eyes and chuckles. Hey; at least it worked. "Yep. That was exactly what I meant to do."

Dogo giggled as he then remembered a hidden room as he jumped out of the cage and signaled Kion to follow him. "I know of a place that can help us. Just follow me." Kion nodded and ran off with Dogo, wanting to see this secret room.

Kion and Dogo were sneaking down the hallways, which were thankfully low guarded. And even when they did find guards, they could usually knock them out with just one punch; makes you wonder if the guards were even trying. Of course, when the two got up to the door of the room that Dogo spoke of, Kion seemed curious as to what was behind it due to the enormous size of the door. "There must be a lot of stuff back here. The door's huge."

"Yeah, but the way to get in is more than easy." Dogo walked up to the door panel and explained everything from flaws to entrance. "First error in Rei Rei's master plan. Showing me how this works without thinking I'd go against that stuff." Dogo placed his paw on the panel and revealed some numbers. "Next flaw. Leaving your passcode right on the kitchen table." Dogo put in the passcode, which was 5-8-1-6, and the door opened up as Sonic 3 and Knuckles Hydrocity zone act one theme played once he and Kion walked in. "From gadgets to guns, we have it all."

Kion admired all of the stuff in the room, amazed as to how all of it could even fit inside. "How did you guys even get all of this stuff?"

"Beats me. All I know is that we have a bunch of room." Dogo saw the gadget he was looking for and walked up to it, picking it up and linking it to the location of Simba. He then handed Kion the gadget, trusting him with it. "I linked it to where Simba is. If we hurry we can get to all of our friends in time." Kion nodded and ran off with Dogo, ready to find the others and stop Dark Kion.

Simba, Nala, and Mheetu were still inside the fire cage when Mheetu started to get bored. "This is soooo boring! The least they could've done is put a Tv in here. Like, if I'm gonna be kidnapped for the rest of my life then I at least wanna be entertained, either with active hobbies or ones where I just relax for no reason."

"It's the kidnapped part you gotta watch for Mheetu." Simba pointed out. "If they wanted us to have fun here then they would've invited us over for dinner. This is far from that."

"Yeah, I guess." Mheetu sighed as he leaned against the wall and found it difficult to cope with the boredom in there. "But they know it'll just give me more motivation to escape this garbage pile." Just then, an air vent got punched down and Jasiri hopped out, with Kovu seen behind her as he fell out of the vent and started gasping for air. "Speaking of garbage piles, (Looks at Jasiri) I'm guessing he got what happens when your butt gets into a conversation with itself."

"Guilty as charged." Jasiri admitted with a giggle and quirky smile. "Still, kind of a bummer this led to another cage. If it led to the security systems then Kovu could've hacked into them or something. After I beat up the guards."

"Well we'll get to do both soon enough." The others looked to find Kion and Dogo walking up to them, with Kion holding up the same orb he did the first time. He then had the soot fly onto him however, looking at Dogo afterwards and wondering how he avoided it. "Okay, how did that only hit me?" Dogo shrugged and walked off with the others as Kion wiped the soot from his face. "I've been working on that one for a couple weeks now anyway. Could never get the soot stuff away from it." Dogo wondered if he could do the technique himself, finding it to be really cool.

Kion and the others were walking down the halls as Jasiri got a look at what Kion was using. "Looks really cool." Kion let Jasiri get a closer look at the device and when she noticed what was on there, she seemed to get the idea of it. "So this is how you found us then. I'm guessing the other ones on here are more of our other allies."

"Sure are." Jasiri handed Kion the device back as he explained why Ono wasn't on there. "Ono was able to get away and give me a call, so I told him to wait on the roof for us while he hacked out some stuff in Dark Kion's base. Let's just hope his tantrum throwing doesn't make him break the laptop he's using in anger." Kion and the others arrived at room the other allies were in, with Kion preparing a solid punch on it. "Speaking of breaking." Kion punched the door down and walked in with the others. "Let's save the others now."

Kion saw Kiara in a cage and ran over to her, unlocking the cage and getting a hi five from her brother. "Glad to see you finally came. This place could really use a re-design." Kion rolled his eyes while smiling as he walked off with Kiara, with them then seeing Mufasa and Sarabi being freed by Simba. "So now we can kick Dark Kion's butt?"

Kion nodded and then Dogo free Rafiki, who thanked everyone for the assistance. "Your efforts will not be shown as meaningless. I can promise it."

Kion nodded and looked up at Mufasa, who seemed confident in his son, not knowing what he was about to say next. "What do you say you join in?" Mufasa and Sarabi became surprised to hear their son's sudden offer, with Kion giving off his usual free spirited voice. "You two seemed to be missing out on all the action lately. Let's say you two were to join back in; what would you do?"

Mufasa and Sarabi looked at each other with smiles and Mufasa then looked back at Kion. "It's been a while since we faced any villains in our lives. And it would be great to get back into the ring."

"So you're in then?" Mufasa noded, with Kion nodding back and running ahead of the others. "Let's roll." Kion and the others headed off with Kion explaining what he feels should go down. "Alright guys. I think it'd be best if we all split up and take two high class fighters with us. That way we can cover more ground and stay protected at the same time."

"Make sense to me." Simba replied as he walked up to his younger brother. "Which split ups did you have in mind for a case like this?" Kion gave his brother a confident smile, knowing he'd like what he had to offer.

Simba was seen with Kovu, Mufasa, and Sarabi as the group looked around for shomewhere they could hack the systems. Kovu felt like he could use some of his own knowledge to take down the systems and possibly reroute something that could help them win. It would be a risky move though, so he had to be smart about it when he got to work. "Dark Kion probably has a lot of intense security functions in his base if he has fire that need Kion's orb to wipe it out. If I can reroute the systems then I could possibly turn the tables on him."

"Let's hope we can actually find it." Simba replied with a sense of worry. "For all we know we could turn upside down and everything. I should know too; Kion got a bit messed up in the head the day after he came here for the first time." Kovu nodded in understanding with Mufasa and Sarabi worrying about what Simba just said.

"Simba." Simba looked up at Mufasa, who tried his best not to sound overprotective. "What exactly did Kion see here that made him 'messed up' as you say?"

Simba was about to explain what he meant, only for Kovu to stop him and point ahead. "Hold that thought Simba. The room's right over there." Kovu ran on ahead with the others running on with him, with Kovu entering the room and seeing someone there. He snuck up to the one at the computer and grabbed him by his head, moving it forward a bit and karate chopping his neck. He then pushed the minion out of the chair and got to work, getting ready to work on the systems "Time to make Dark Kion look like his work was for nothing."

Sarabi looked at Simba and wanted to move further on what Mufasa asked. "You were saying Simba?"

"Oh, right." Simba got ready to explain what happened in Dark Kion's base and what Dark Kion saw. "It's kinda hard to explain. Especially since it doesn't even start at Dark Kion's base."

Mheetu was seen with Nala and Rafiki as they looked around for something they could use to improve their chances. Mheetu seemed to be excited to pound some faces in, wanting to see the look on their faces after he destroyed them. "It's gonna be so insane beating up these losers. And not becuase of their strength, but because of how fast I'll kick their butts."

"We could be up against someone stronger than all of us Mheetu." Nala pointed out, not wanting Mheetu's ego to go too high. "Don't forget that beings like Janja and Tukio also work for Dark Kion. To be fair though, you could beat the former."

"I could floor both of them if I wanted to." Mheetu protested, feeling that Nala was underestimating him. "Heck, as soon as I walk up to them, I'll punch them both right in the face and make them have to go to the hospital for weeks." Rafiki chuckled softly at Mheetu's cockiness, with Mheetu questioning it. "What's with the random chuckle?"

"It's just that you're as cocky as when we first met." Rafiki explained. "It's nice to meet friends of such diversity, and you seem to be among them in one of the more unique ways. You remember how I described your personality, right?"

"How can I forget?" Mheetu laughed a bit as he looked back on when he met Rafiki. "As cocky as a stubborn antelope and as dumb as a fly. Something about those goofy words rang a bell with me for some reason. Heh. Guess it's because you're the wisest and that makes you right about everything."

"Not everything young one." Rafiki corrected with a humble voice. "Just what I need to know." Mheetu shrugged and walked onward with Nala and Rafiki, hoping to find something cool.

Janja was seen training with Cheezi and Chungu as he demonstrated an attack he made himself. "Alright guys. Now I've been practicing this attack for a while, and I want both of you to focus as hard as you can." Cheezi and Chungu nodded and Janja spawned a green orb in his paw. Cheezi seemed to be holding in his laughter from the color, with Janja looking at it and noticing why. "It's not a fart attack by the way." Janja got an idea and launched the beam at Cheezi, who ended up getting stunned by it. "I call it the Ki stunner. It holds whoever it touches in place."

Chungu looked at Cheezi and moved away a bit, with Janja clarifying what he meant. "No Chungu. You can touch him after he's been hit as long as you haven't been touched by the same beam."

"Ah." Chungu walked up to Cheezi and wondered how he could use the beam himself. "Any chance I could use this puppy to get myself seconds on sloppy joes?"

"Maybe; if you knew how to use it." Janja spawned another one of them and snickered at the way of bringing it up. "Funny enough Cheezi, while it's not made from farts, you DO have to think of the color in order for this to work. "Janja clenched his paw and made the Ki orb vanish. "And then you just think of lightning and then it turns into the Ki stunner."

The stun on Cheezi wore off with him then getting sassy with Janja. "Don't even think about using that on me again." Janja shrugged as Cheezi then started thinking about the attack. "Still. We could use that thing if it was on more than just you."

"Wait. He's stunned?" Chungu asked, not getting exactly what Cheezi meant. "Then how is he gonna eat?" Janja and Cheezi rolled their eyes with Janja smiling and Cheezi being annoyed. Janja then sensed Kion's energy coming from nearby, sneering as he got ready to prepare an attack on him. So he ran off with Cheezi and Chungu behind him and the hyena trio headed out.

Kion was walking down a hallway with Jasiri, Dogo, and Kiara, seeming to be looking for some information they could gather. Dogo himself was still feeling bad about what happened with Jasiri looking at him with a caring look, hoping that everything was going okay with him. She never expected someone as innocent as him to feel this way"You doing okay Dogo? You've been looking off ever since we split up. And you haven't said a thing since then."

"I'm just thinking about stuff." Dogo sighed, wishing that he could reverse what was happening right now. Not make someone else suffer, but just to give Kion and his friends a more fair time. "I'm just conflicted on what's happening." Jasiri nodded in understanding and let the jackal pup continue. "I guess I just wish that things could've turned out differently. And I know it'll most likely work out in the end, but what if it doesn't?"

"It'll work out fine dude." Jasiri spoke with kindness and put her paw on Dogo's shoulder. "I've been there for Kion during and in tons of battles. He and everyone else I've met so far are capable of taking on almost anything Dark Kion throws at us. And that includes what's happening right now."

Dogo hoped that Jasiri was right about that, only to sense something from a few feet away, which made him very worried indeed. When he sensed it coming even closer, he stepped in front of Kion and blocked it with a Ki orb, stopping it and surprising the others. Dogo then crushed the Ki orb and felt a small shock enter his paws when he did. Kion himself was also impressed by Dogo's skills, having not sensed it himself for some reason. "Nice one."

Janja then arrived and seemed dissapointed when he saw that Kion wasn't stunned. "H-how did you not get stunned!? I've been working for weeks now to keep anyone from sensing that thing!" Dogo waved to Janja, who saw how it went down and was astonished. "You mean that idiot did it?"

"I guess." Kion went into two leg mode and pinned Janja, who also went into two leg mode, against the wall, getting serious as he spoke. "Fess up Janja. What were you planning?"

"Nothing too serious really." Janja admitted. "I was just planning on beating you up after I stunned you. As for the others, I'd probably do the same thing to those losers."

Dogo felt as if Janja's attack is what the shock came from as Kion continued. "Well your luck ran out. I don't know how Dogo was able to sense it, but it doesn't matter right now, sicne we have work to do." Kion threw Janja aside just as Cheezi and Chungu arrived, with Kion questioning their company. "Any reason you two came with him, knowing you'd lose?"

"I just wanted to see you kick his butt." Cheezi replied, finding that the event he just mentioned would've been funny.

"Well, you're outta luck dude." Kion ran off with the others as Cheezi and Chungu walked over to Janja, who punched the floor with anger that his plan backfired. Janja himself was also confused, as he wondered how Dogo could've possibly sensed his Ki blast.

Tukio was in the same room as Dark Kion and Vitani as he got a look at the moniters. When he saw that Kovu was hacking into their security systems, he walked up to Dark Kion and informed him. "I just saw something on the moniters. Looks like some of the ones you captured got a hold on our security systems."

Dark Kion looked to the model Tukio pointed to and walked over to it, grinning evilly at the fact that he gained some challenge. "Brilliant. (Turns around) Vitani; make sure he doesn't hack out systems in any way possible." Vitani nodded and started hacking as Dark Kion walked up to Tukio. "Well done Tukio. This should make the battle much more exciting. After all, what's a battle if there's no fun involved?"

"Technically Dark Kion, that's not a battle at all." Tukio pointed out as he then walked up to the wall and leaned on it. "If we actually got out there and fought for a bit then it'd be a battle. This is mostly just us standing by and waiting for things to happen." Tukio scoffed, annoyed at the lack of fighting in his part. "I'd rather be sparring with Chungu right now, and he probably doesn't even remember what that menans."

"Patience young Tukio." Dark Kion looked at the moniter that had Kion on it, seeming intrigued by what he had in mind. "We'll get to join in on the battle soon enough. Perhaps not with Kion specifically, but there's no point in battling the same one over and over again."

"You're not wrong." Tukio replied, looking back on his battle with Wingsol. He seemed to wonder what he was capable of at his maximum power. "What I want to know is why they didn't call Wingsol in for this. After all, he'd be more than capable of taking them all on. (Smirks) Possibly even me." Tukio looked back on his battle with Wingsol and found it pathetic. "That is, if he didn't go out of his way to be weak."

Dark Kion looked at the moniter that showed Nala, Mheetu, and Rafiki walking down their part of the base. "Perhaps you'd like to entertain yourself with these three." Tukio looked at the moniter Dark Kion was refering to and figured that it was better than nothing, so he headed off to see what he could do.

Mheetu was seen wondering why no one was close by where he was walking, hoping that something fun would happen soon. "Seems pretty quiet around here. It's like they wanna bore me to death."

Tukio was seen hiding while near the roof, as he was standing on a pipe that looked rather sturdy. He kept watching as Rafiki spoke up. "Mheetu, Mheetu, Mheetu. As I said once before-"

"Patience is the key to getting something cool; I got ya." Mheetu replied. "Well if that's the case in this scenario then I hope it pays off well enough for me to say, hey; that was totally worth it." Tukio jumped down at that cue, with Mheetu finding an intrigue in Tukio's timing. "That works." Mheetu walked up to Tukio and continued his words. "A good enough challenge I may say."

Mheetu went into two leg mode as Tukio commented on his cockiness. "Don't get the wrong idea; you're plenty powerful. Just not as strong as Kion, which is why I'll beat you much faster."

Mheetu cringed at the sound of that; not because he brought up Kion specifically, but because he compared his strength to someone elses. "I'll have you know that I'm stronger than everyone combined!"

Tukio smirked as he responsed to Mheetu's clearly false words. "Then why don't you prove it? I read some stuff on the Pride lands, and from what I can remember, if Rafiki dies then the Pride lands die; correct?" Mheetu, Nala, and Rafiki all flinched upon those words, with it especially shocking Mheetu. He never thought Tukio could get knowledge like that. "Face me if you want to see the mandrill live."

Mheetu saw the Pride lands possibly going into an even worse fate than it already is, looking at Nala and Rafiki with a serious look. "Get out of here guys! If Tukio gets his paws on either of you it's game over!" Nala and Rafiki were surprised to hear Mheetu's sudden noble words. "I know this isn't like me, and it's fine to be shocked. But I care about you guys and the Pride lands more than anyone, and I'm willing to drop my clearly high ego to protect both!" Nala showed herself being touched by Mheetu's words and nodded, running off with Rafiki, who smiled at Mheetu when they left.

Tukio saw Mheetu's nobility and wiped his lip, preparing himself for what was to come. "So that's a yes then." Mheetu turned to Tukio and nodded, showing that even someone as cocky as him can have a noble side. "Very well then. Let us begin."

Kovu was still hacking the security systems as he ended up getting blocked out by Vitani. This made Kovu excited, as he finally had some real challenge to deal with. He put in his best efforts to get past Vitani's hacks, and then he managed to get into the video modifier and show himself. Vitani was indeed surprised by his sudden entrance, not knowing how to respond to it. Luckily, Kovu did it for her. "Hey there."

Vitani figured that she could conversate while doing the hack, replying to Kovu's words. "Hey. You're good at this stuff. I don't think I've ever met anyone who could do this kind of stuff before. Well, aside from my brother, but he-"

"Hold that thought." Kovu was shown to be finishing the hack as he double clicked on the file that shut Vitani down. "I'm shutting you down; bye." Kovu went offline and the room Vitani was in started shaking, making her nervous as she looked around. She saw the door and ran for it, seeing Dark Kion stand down there before her. Dark Kion gave Vitani a glare, which gave her chills, but they wore off when Dark Kion walked ahead. Vitani ran up to Dark Kion and the two of them headed out. Vitani started to wonder how Kovu could've possibly managed what he did.

Kion and the others were walking down the hallway as Kion started to become curious about why Dogo joined Rei Rei. "So Dogo, when you told me Rei Rei was going to help you with your mom. What did you mean by that?" Dogo looked at Kion, who continued to speak. "Like, did she die, or did she leave, or what? If you don't wanna talk about it then that's fine, I'm just wondering."

"No, it's fine. I honestly don't know myself." Dogo admitted, being that it's been a rather long time since he met his mother. "All I know is that she left me at a young age and I never knew about it until she told me. I've always wanted to know why since hten." Dogo looked at Kion with a determined look. "That's why I joined her to begin with. If I find my mother then I can know why she left me."

Kion wished that he could help find Dogo's mother himself; if only he knew anything about her. He kept his free spirit though, and put his paw on Dogo's shoulder. "Maybe you'll find her someday dude." Kion whiffed his hair as he spoke agian. "And even if we don't, at least we tried." Dogo smiled and saw Kion's words as hope giving.

Kion and the others found a room that Dogo seemed to recognize from door alone. "I've seen this place." Dogo ran up to the door with the others running with him as Dogo inspected the door and remembered it fondly. "This is a room that Rei Rei told me never to enter. I don't know much about what's inside, but what I DO know is that it's obviously got a lot of information that no one else would want us to know."

"Then that must give us the info we need to stop this madness. If they were stupid enough to make it." Dogo put in a code he saw Rei Rei put in one time and the door opened, allowing the four of them to enter. As Kion looked around and saw all of the books and files, he almost instantly thought of Kovu. "Maybe I'll snatch a couple of these on the way out for Kovu."

Jasiri found something that somehow seemed familiar to her, and wehn she picked it up and looked at the back, she became intrigued. "Don't let Jasiri see this." Kiara overheard Jasiri and walked over to her, curious as to what she was doing. "Why me specifically? What could they be hiding that they don't want me to know?"

Kiara got a look herself and wondered what it could possibly be. "Maybe put it on and see." Jasiri appeared to be nervous with Kiara putting her paw on her shoulder. "You never know what it holds until you look." Jasiri looked at the device and thought again, wondering what it could possibly hold.

Kion and Dogo were looking at some files themselves as Dogo saw something that more than intrigued him. It showed a jackal that looked familiar, so he looked inside when he grabbed it, reading it and finding something intriguing when he skipped to the last page. When he read it, it shocked him to no end. It showed that his mother was killed right before him, letting the memories flow back to him. He dropped the file out of fear 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 was seen looking at the stars with him as the song continued, looking at a picture he was holding afterwards.

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

Kovu 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.
