What If-The Lion Guard Season 1

Prologue

"I think me and Rani should break up," Kion said.

Bunga was in shock, and his facial expression showed it. The second he was able to process the words that Kion said, he began to question. "What do you mean you want to break up with Rani?"

Kion noticed the surprised expression his best friend had, he sighed before continuing. "Because I don't think this relationship is going to work out. We constantly fight every five minutes whenever we're together. I'm just miserable, and I know that she is too. I..... I just want this pain to stop."

Bunga sat down to think. Although he wasn't the smartest animal, he was able to understand Kion's reasoning. "Will we go back to the Pridelands?"

Kion thought about Bunga's question. After the incident with Shomari, who knows what other threat could attempt to take the Tree of Life. Either way, it was clear that Vitani's guard was doing an excellent job to protect the Pridelands so there wasn't a reason to be the Lion guard again. "Maybe, we'll see."

Kion walked back to Pride Rock and ran into Rani. His heart sank, and he felt a sense of dread, it was either him or Rani that was going to spark up another argument. "Hey, can we talk?"

Kion was a bit surprised by this but decided not to think much about it. "Um sure, what do you need."

Rani sat down and faced Kion. "Look, it's clear that we're both unhappy about this relationship, so I think that we should end it."

Kion nodded. "I understand, and I agree."

Rani nodded back. "Thank you, will you stay at the tree of life?"

"Maybe, if animals like Shomari exist, then there must be more of them out there."

"Alright, but when do you think we should tell your family?"

"Right now seems like a good time." Kion and Rani stood up and both of them walked back to pride Rock, not saying another word to each other.

The Dark Grey rain clouds moved in over the Pridelands. They covered the Sun and thunder could be heard, indicating that this storm was going to be brutal. Kion and Rani walked to the base of pride Rock, where Simba and the rest of the Royal family awaited them, along with the Night Pride and lion Guard. Kion and Rani looked at each other and nodded. Both teenagers walked up and prepared to announce their break-up.

"HAPANA!" Ono squawked before Kion and Rani could speak.

"What is it Ono?" Kion asked the Egret.

"LOOK!" Ono pointed over towards the grazing grounds. Everyone looked and saw several animals turning to dust, and vanishing before their eyes. Everyone was shocked. Everywhere they looked, there were animals vanishing.

Lightning flashed, with the sound of Thunder following close by. Everyone in the Pridelands was in fear, as they wondered who was next to be killed off. Simba hugged his mate close to him. But there was something off. He looked to see that Nala herself was beginning to turn to dust. "Nala!" Simba held her close, and started to cry, he told himself that it was just a bad dream, but it wasn't. Soon he no longer felt her fur and warmth against him, she was gone.

Vitani looked to her side, and unfortunately, she saw that Kopa was turning to dust. She began to freak out and hugged him, not wanting to let him go. "Kopa please, please don't leave me again, I need you!"

Kopa hugged back, knowing the pain that it caused her. "I'm sorry." He said.

And then, he was gone, the dust blew away in the wind as Vitani stood there. She collapsed and began to cry. She felt stupid for showing any type of emotion, let alone grief, but she could care less.
