It had been 2 days since Kion and everyone else left the pride lands, When nightfall came, everyone was tired until they saw the frozen lake right in front of them which ment that they are so close to the tree of life now.
"The tree is past this lake." Said Kion.
"Good, We go through that mountain pass right?" Uhuru asked Kion.
"Yep, Past the mountain pass is the tree of life which is the last stop before the temple." Said Kion.
"We should rest, We will need all the energy we can get for tomorrow." Said Simba.
Everyone nodded and fell asleep.
Meanwhile at the temple.
"Rani, You have to sneak out and find help." Said Nirmala.
"What about you guys?" Asked Rani.
"Don't worry about us, Go find help." Said Vitani.
Rani nodded and sneaked out to find help.
It started to shine bright making the sky an orange red which made everyone wake up.
"I'm thirsty...." Said Uhuru.
"Me too, Let's go together big bro." Said Kion.
"Alright sure, Anyone want some water?" Asked Uhuru.
"I do." Said Kiara.
"Anyone else?" Asked Kion.
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Alright, Let's go." Said Kion.
Kion and Uhuru walked out of the cave they stayed in to find some water.
"You sure there is any water here?" Asked Uhuru.
"There is, We have to find it first." Said Kion.
"You go left, I go right." Said Uhuru.
"Alright." Said Kion.
They went their ways to find water.
With Kion.
"It has to be here somewhere..." Said Kion.
"Uuhhh...., Where could it b-..." Kion was cut off by sobbing coming from behind the rocks in front of him.
Kion listens and immediately gets happy when he hears Rani's voice.
"I miss you Kion, Please come back to me..." Rani said sobbing.
"I will never leave you Rani." Kion said which made Rani turned around.
"K-Kio-Kion...." Rani said sobbing but happy.
"It's me." Kion said giving a lick on her cheek.
Rani embraced him.
"I never thought I would see you again..." Rani said sobbing
Uhuru came from around the rock to see them.
"Seems you found your love Kion?" Asked Uhuru.
"Yeah I d-..." Kion was cut off by Rani jumping in front of Kion and growling at Uhuru.
"Who are you?!" Shouted Rani.
"Relax Rani, That is my big bro." Said Kion.
"Woah, I never knew Kion had a brother." Said Rani.
"Two brothers actually." Said Uhuru.
"Well, Is it just you guys?" Rani asked.
"Nope, Everyone who survived is with us back there." Said Kion.
"Is there any water here Rani?" Uhuru asked her.
"Yes there is, Follow me." Rani replied.
They ran and got a giant lake.
"Woah..." Said Kion.
"I know, But let's take the water back for Kiara." Said Uhuru.
They quickly drank and took water back for Kiara.
"Are we there yet?" Rani asked.
"Yep, Right in front of it actually." Said Kion.
"Hey guys!, Come on out, We found someone." Said Uhuru.
They all went outside and everyone shouted in shock.
"Rani??!!" They all said.
"H-Hey guys." Rani said.
"It is good to see you again Rani." Said Kiara.
"Kiara, Here is your water." Uhuru said giving a giant leaf full of water.
"Thanks big bro." Kiara gave him a hug.
"But, Why are you here?" Asked Rani.
"A cheetah named Zhutko came into the pridelands and told us everything." Said Kovu.
"It doesn't matter, We are all here to save everyone." Solgaleo.
"Who are you?" Rani asked.
Kion explains who they are and Rani couldn't believe it.
"Wow!" Said Rani.
"Now we will go to the temple." Said Nala.
"What temple??" Rani asked.
"Vreace Temple, The one of legend" Simba said.
"But you don't know where it is." Said Rani.
"Uhuru does." Said Kopa.
"You do?" Rani asked Uhuru.
"Yeah, I know every route since I have gone there many times in the past." Uhuru replied.
"That is very helpful, Show us the way then." Said Rani.
"Follow me." Uhuru said.
A couple minutes later they got to the tree of life and it was a devastating sight.
"My goodness...." Tiifu said.
"Oh no....." Said Kiara.
Rani started crying at the sight, Many dead animals lay scattered, The tundra destroyed, everywhere else was burnt to a crisp and the tree of life was burnt and broken.
"It's okay Rani." Kion embraced her.
"I can't......Believe this......." Rani said sobbing in Kion's chest fur and soaking it.
"......" No one else could say a word.
"I am going to go look for survivors, Everyone else find survivors aswell." Uhuru said.
"Alright....." Everyone else said.
Uhuru went on his own.
"Poor Rani, Her home was destroyed, And all the land and the animals she was meant to lead got destroyed because of Duma...." Uhuru said to himself.
Suddenly a lioness jumped at Uhuru but he dodged.
"WOAH??!!" Uhuru was shocked at the speed.
"Who are you!" Said the lioness.
"Who are you?" Asked Uhuru.
"My name is Aina, Now who are you!" She demanded for an answer.
"Aina?...." Uhuru asked with a face of shock.
"Yes, now who are you!" She was getting impatient.
Uhuru licked her cheek.
"You have grown." Uhuru said.
"What was that for!" She became angry.
"Aina, It's me, Your handsome Uhuru." He said.
She was thinking about he said and then tears fell from her eyes with joy.
"U-Uhu-Uhuru......" She said happily.
"Who else would it be?" He said.
She ran to him and tackled him down giving him licks.
"It's really you, I-I missed you s-so much....." She said crying with happiness.
"But now you don't have to, I found you and my family, Now we have to find my friends." Uhuru said.
"That's great, But why is the king with you?" She asked.
"Those two lions are my brothers, That lioness is my sis, those two are the legends that created the world, they are my sister's bffs, That is the one who helped me get home, that is my sister's lover boy, that is my brother's girl, they are my little bro's teammates and those two are my parents." Uhuru said pointing to everyone.
"You have a lot of friends and family." Aina giggled while snuggling into his mane.
"Of course, But we came here to save their other friends and defeat Damu." Uhuru replied.
"Are you sure you can do it?" She asked.
"I can, You know how?" He asked.
"How?" She replied.
The mark appeared which made her shocked but amazed.
"Because I have this." He said pointing to the mark.
"So you have the rarest power to ever exist?" She asked.
"Indeed." He replied.
"So when will y-...." Aina was cut off by Kiara jumping in front of Uhuru and Kopa pinning Aina down.
"Who are you, Do you work for Damu?" Kovu asked.
Aina doesn't reply.
"Answer!" Kovu shouted.
Uhuru ran and grabbed Kopa off of Aina.
"Stop!" Uhuru shouted.
"What are you doing!" Rani shouted.
"I am protecting her." Uhuru said calmly.
"Why??!!" Fuli Said.
"Because I am his love." Aina said snuggling into Uhuru which made everyone realise what they did and they apologised.
"We're sorry bro." Kiara said.
"Don't worry about it, All of you growled at me when I first arrived, So it's natural to protect your friends and family." Uhuru replied which made everyone smile.
"We should get going to the temple, We have to save your friends." Aina said.
"Yeah let's go" Bunga replied.
"Ladies first." Uhuru said looking at Aina.
"What a gentleman you are." Aina said giggling and gave him a lick on the cheek.
"Let's go you two lovers." Simba said looking at Uhuru and Aina making them blush.
"Y-Yeah....Let's g-go..." Aina said still blushing.
"Don't worry guys, We are coming!" Bunga shouted.
They all made their way towards the temple.
