”Rani?You doing good there?” Kion said with a little chuckle.

“Oh hahahaha Kion.Aren’t i the one carrying your cubs?” Rani said with a serious grin.

”Oh, I am at the most sorry my fair lady.” Kion said bowing his head jokingly.

”Well, I am off to hang out at the river with Fuli, Binga, Kula and Anga.Bye!” Rani said with a smile as she got up to leave.

Kion left and found Besthe, Ono and Bunga.They started to talk with them, it felt nice.They had been patrolling a lot and just had been helping out a lot.They had forgotten what it was like to rest in peace for a bit.

* PRIDE LANDS*

It has been a couple of weeks since Malik joined.Naba, Asali, Amira and Amani is now older toddlers and is too much trouble!They have endless about of energy that they can never get rid of!Jua, Picha, Neelam, Chandra, Hiram Lazima, Kung’aa and Kujaribu are a bit older!Vitani has given birth to Merah, Uhuru and Shetani!Tiifu has given birth to Tukufu, Zamani and Asha while Zuri is still pregnant, another week until she gives birth.

Nala and Kiara were with Malia, Nafasi, Waasi,Chaka, Aisha, Jua, Hira, Picha, Neelam, Chandra, Lazima, Kung’aa, Kujaribu and Sababu.

“Mom!Mom!Mom!Mom!Mom!” Naba was screaming as Nala fixed Chaka’s mane.

”Yes, Naba?” Nala giggled as she licked Asali’s fur.

”Me, Naba, Amira, Amani, Picha, Sababh, Neelam and Jua want to go to the water hole!” Asali shouted while jumping.

“Now now cubs, we can’t take all of you.” Kiara said as Hira and Neelam were play fighting on her back.

As if he was meant to walk in, Malik walked up to Nala, Kiara and the cubs.

”Your majesty, I was just about to go to the watering hole and I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying, I would be happy to take the cubs!” Malik said with a soft smile.

“No No!I don’t trust meanie peanie Malik!” Amira said as she stuck her tongue out at Malik.

”Amira!Don’t be rude!Thank you Malik, it would be a big help.” Nala said as she picked Kujaribu up in her mouth.

”It’s ok!Your welcome!” Malik said as Picha, Naba, Asali, Amani, Neelam and Jua followed Malik, with Amira a bit suspicious.

”Take them back to Pride Rock after please.” Nala said as her cubs and her started to walk in the direction to Pride Rock.

”Ok Ma’am!Cmon let’s go guys!” Malik said as they made their way to the watering hole.

They all started to take a drink

“I wish I could just fall asleep…” Picha said as she started to close her eyes.

”Cmon!Stay awake!” Amani said as he slapped Picha’s arm, which Picha didn’t react to.

”Let’s go little ones!” Malik said as they all followed

”Hmm, so Malik?Where did you live before?” Asali said with a suspicious face.

”Oh, my Pride was wiped out by a Jackal attack.” Malik said as he looked at Picha.

”Oh how funny, Kovu says that you say it was a rockslide.And daddy said that you said your father gave you up when you were young!Your a liar!” Amira said in a loud tone.

”Shhh!” Sababu said as she hid it the grass.

“Calm down Amira.Look, we are nearly at the Rock.You can go and tell your dad then.” Malik said as he walked them to Pride Rock.

Suddenly, Malik started to walk to a den, Scar’s old den.The cubs were confused and followed, unknowing of what would happen next.

”Where are we-“ Naba said before he saw Malik pushed a rock to block the entrance to the den, with only a little bit of sunlight shining through.

”I’m sorry little but I need and you are making that impossible!” Malik growled.

The cubs all screamed in fear and they tried to crawl through cracks in the cave.Malik tried to grab them but he was too slow.He noticed Sababu not moving.

”At least I can murder Simba’s granddaughter.” Malik laughed.All Sababu could do was close her eyes.

Simba heard the loud screams as he rushed down to Scar’s den.He had been cub sitting the rest of the cubs along with Tiifu and Zuri who had fallen asleep while the others were on patrol or hunting.Simba pushed the rock, he was still fairly strong for his age.He gasped as he saw the Malik trying to get the cubs.He saw Sababu’s dead body.

”Ah, Simba.I didn’t expect you to come here soon.Now I can have my murder!.” Malik said as he walked up to Simba.

Malik pushed Simba back.Simba scratched Malik’s eye, giving him a scar.Malik bit into Simba’s back.Simba roared in pain as he fell to the ground instantly.Malik thought he was dead however Simba was alive.

Malik rolled Simba’s body up to the main part of the rock.

By the time the lion guard and hunting parties came back, Malik was smiling at them while he stood over the bodies of all he murdered.Tiifu and Zuri were standing behind him crying.Malik was holding Tukufu in his mouth.Quickly, Kovu pushed Malik and grabbed Tukufu and gave her back to Tiifu and Zuri.

”What happened?” Vitani asked with a raised eyebrow.

“He…he…HE MURDERED THEM!HE MURDERED SIMBAI!” Tiifu screamed as her mates hugged her.

”Where are the cubs?!” Kiara demanded.

”Ah, those litte brats, I don’t know where they ran off too.” Malik said with a huge grin.

“W-We are here…” Neelam nervously spoke as the cubs came out.

”I am the king now!” Malik shouted.

”Wait…No..No No No…HOW COULD YOU!!!” Boga cried into Chaka’s mane.

”You killed our cub you monster!” Chaka screamed.

I am the true queen that is ruling alongside my King consort Kovu!You are not and will never be the king!” Kiara said as tears flowed down her eyes.

”Then I will fight Kovu tomorrow at Dawn.Whoever wins will be king.Malik said as he sat down.”

”Like I just said, I am the queen and I do not allow this!” Kiara said as she pushed Malik up.

Suddenly, Simba started to wake up.

”DADDY!!!!” Kiara jumped onto Simba.

”Yes, I am alive..but I need to rest.” Simba said as he fell asleep.

”You want me out of your precious lands?” Malik asked in a sarcastic tone.

The whole pride nodded.

”Fine, I’ll go tomorrow!” Malik said.

”Kovu, Vitani, Tazama, Shabaha, Imara?Could you make sure Malik stays in the lion guard liar please?We do not want him out.” Kiara said with a angry face.

They all nodded and lead Malik to the lair while they all stood outside guarding.Kiara hoped that her dad’s spirit could help her.She hoped that the Pride Lands wouldn’t turn into the Pride Malik desired.She may have just exiled or even killed Malik if she knew what would happen next.
