Meet the Outsiders

Part Four

Meanwhile, Kion had pushed himself free from the lionesses' hold, and then paw swiped another one across the face. They growled angrily at the young cub as they managed to corner him.

"Poor Kion." The cub gasped when he saw that Zira had returned with Nuka, Vitani and Kovu. "So helpless without his Roar."

"Mom? What's going on?" Kovu asked as his mother went down to where the others were. He and his siblings followed her. "Kion said he'd talk to Simba about letting us go back to the Pride Lands! Why can't we be friends?"

Zira had to bite back a growl when her son said that. It seemed that he still had a desire to see Princess Kiara again. And if so, Kion can gain an ally in him, and then all her plans will be ruined!

Instead, she just turned to him. "This wasn't my choice, Kovu." She said. "He's the one who chose the hyenas over us."

Kovu shared a brief worried glance with Kion. Just because he's friends with a hyena, who is actually much nicer than the other ones of her kind, doesn't mean he's really an enemy. After all, he and Kiara were friends, so why are Kion and Jasiri that much different, regardless of their species?

"Aren't we worried he'll use that Roar on us?" Nuka asked.

"If he uses the Roar against other lions, he'll lose it forever." Zira explained. "And if he doesn't use the Roar.... Well, he'll just lose. Either way, we win. Without the Roar, Kion is harmless. Without Kion, Simba's Pride Lands are defenseless."

Kion glared at her when she said that. He knew that he could be pretty fierce, with or without the Roar. He had been doing some training.

"Kion's harmless?" Nuka asked. Then, he started to laugh as he got into a pouncing position. "You won't pin me down this time!"

He leaped forward and tried to push Kion down, but the younger cub effortlessly dodged his little attempt to do so, and then headbutted hard into his chest, sending him flying. He crashed near his siblings, face first.

"Nuka, Nuka, Nuka." Vitani sighed.

Zira narrowed her eyes at the golden cub. "This is your last chance, Kion." She said. The lionesses growled at him, making him back up further.

Kion then looked up to the sky and saw a familiar sight. A smile then came on his face. "Zira? I do have something to say." He said. "'Til the Pride Lands end...."

"Lion Guard defend!" The Guard exclaimed. Everyone looked around to see where the voices came from, and then looked towards the entrance to see them, along with Jasiri, charging towards them.

"Surprise!" She exclaimed, laughing.

Fuli was quick to charge and tackled Vitani onto her back, snarling. Ono was flying above, pecking one of the lionesses' heads. She would try to swipe her claws at him, but she would miss. Jasiri was biting at another one, making her run.

"Twende kiboko!" Beshte exclaimed as he roughly pushed aside the last two lionesses. Kion saw his chance and quickly zipped past Zira and charged head-first into the lioness that was trying to swipe at Ono.

"Mother! I'm scared!" Nuka cried.

The Lion Guard, along with Jasiri, quickly gathered all of the Outsiders into one spot. "So, a Lion Guard with just one lion?" Zira asked, making all of the Guard all glare at her fiercely. "Pathetic!" She spat. "Stand tall, my lions. We have this ridiculous group of animals outnumbered."
