Remember Who You Are

Chapter 18: Anger and Rage

Meanwhile Kion, Reirei, Goigoi and Dogo had arrived back in the Outlands where they were met by Reirei and Goigoi's other children. "Hey Ma," their daughter Kijana greeted. "Hey Pop where have you been?"
"Yeah and what's he doing here?" their other son, Wavivu asked, nodding his head at Kion.
"Prince Kion is going to be stayin with us dear ones," Reirei informed her pups. Her other pups exchanged confused looks.
"But Ma," Kijana began. "Isn't he.."
"Our friend yes," Reirei quickly interrupted not wanting her daughter to ruin her chance. "Dogo dear would you take Kion and get him some of our special meat?"
"Sure thing Mom," Dogo said, knowing that Reirei wanted Kion to have more hydro-piper laced meat. "C'mon buddy I'll show you where we keep the good stuff." With that Kion and Dogo were gone.
"Ok Ma what gives?' Kijana demanded once she was sure Kion and Dogo weren't in ear shot.
"Yeah how come you're acting all nice to Kion?" Reirei's other daughter, Mwizi asked. "I mean last time I checked he was our enemy."
"Yeah," Wavivu chimed in. "And last time we saw him he blew us all back here with his Roar."
"Its all part of my plan dear ones," Reirei said. With that she explained to her other children what had happened over the last couple of days.
"Wow Ma I gotta admit that's a real good plan," Kijana said with a smile.
"At long last things are going our way," Reirei said with an evil smile. "And soon we'll have Kion completely on our side and we'll have him use his Roar to blow Simba away and we jackals will finally have what we deserve."
"And Kion will do all the work," Goigoi put in, his grin growing even wider as he thought of all the good things that would be coming his was. "Which is the biggest perk of all." The group all nodded in agreement and they waited for Dogo and Kion to return.

Meanwhile Kion had just finished eating his 'special' meat and was chatting with Dogo. "I'm not feeling so good Dogo," Kion said after a minute.
"Here lie down," Dogo said, knowing the effects of the hydro-piper were about to kick in. Kion layed down and within a few minutes his eyes closed as the effects of the plant kicked in. Just then Reirei came onto the scene. "It worked Ma," Dogo said with a smile.
"Good," Reirei said with an evil grin. "Now then..." But the female jackal stopped when she saw Simba and Nala heading her way. "Shit," she cursed.
"What's wrong?" Dogo asked. He turned and his blue eyes got wide when he saw the problem. "Uh oh," he muttered.
"Hide Kion quickly," Reire hissed. Dogo nodded and drug Kion by his scruff behind a large rock.
"Reirei!" Simba thundered as he charged towards the jackal leader.
"Why Simba," Reirei said, pretending to be surprised. "Nala. To what do I owe this surprise?"
"Cut the shit Reirei," Simba growled. "Where's my son?"
"Your son?" Reirei said, playing dumb. "I haven't seen Kion lately."
"Liar!" Simba roared, getting in Reirei's face.
"Simba please let me handle this," Nala said gently. "Remember why we're here." Simba nodded and stepped aside, glaring at Reirei the entire time. "Reirei I don't know why you're doing this but knowing you its souly for your own selfish gain," Nala began.
"Oh Nala you do flatter me," Reirei said, the sarcasm dripping.
"But I'm not here as the Queen," Nala said, ignoring Reirei's comment. "I'm here as a mother. You're a mother as well so I hope you can see where I'm coming from on this."
"I'm listening," Reirei said, knowing Nala must be really desperate to use the mother angle.
"Kion has been through so much these last few weeks," Nala said, her voice shaking slightly. Reirei rolled her eyes slightly but knew better than to say anything so she just remained silent and listened as Nala went on. "He nearly died," the Queen continued "And whatever you're doing to him is only causing him more pain. And I'm sure that if it was one of your pups you'd be doing the same thing I am. I just want my baby boy back. I promise you if you hand him over to us right now there will be no punishment."
"Oh really?" Reirei said, not buying it for a second. "And what about you Simba? Does what your mate said go for you as well?"
"I just want my son to be safe," Simba declared, still glaring at Reirei and resisting the overwhelming urge he had to attack her and rip her to shreds. "So yes it does go for me. Hand Kion over now and there will be no punishment."
"And what if Kion doesn't want to go with you?" Reirei asked. "What then?" Reirei smirked at Simba, knowing he was on the edge and unable to resist the chance to further anger the King.
"We'll let Kion make that call," Nala declared. "Now where is he?"
"Right here," Kion said, emerging from behind the rock with Dogo right behind him.
"Kion!" Nala cried out, running over to embrace her son.
"Stay away from me Nala!" Kion cried out, surprising Nala.
"Kion what.." Nala began, shocked that Kion was calling her by her name.
"I said stay away from me!" Kion shouted. "I won't let you finish what you started!" Unknowing to Simba and Nala the only memories Kion had were what the jackals had told him. So now the golden Prince believed his family wanted him dead.
"Kion what are you talking about?" Nala asked, shocked at Kion's words
"I won't let you try and kill me again!" Kion shouted. Nala and Simba both gasped and their eyes got wide with shock.
"What the Hell have you been telling my son?!" Simba snarled, getting in Reirei's face.
"She just told me the truth Simba!" Kion cried out, getting between Simba and Reirei and pushing Simba backwards. Simba stumbled and nearly fell as he was taken completely off guard by the shove. "I know what happened the day I lost my memory," Kion continued. "I know Kiara purposely pushed me down the side and that yo just stood there and watched!"
"What?!" Simba cried out, totally shocked at Kion's words. "Kion that isn't true," the golden King said, taking a step towards his son. "I would never let anything bad happen to you. I love you. And so does your sister. We would never want anything bad to happen to you."
"Liar!" Kion snarled, startling his parents once again. Just then the wind started to pick up and the clouds once again began to from the shape of lion heads.
"Kion honey please just listen to us," Nala pleaded, trying to get her son to calm down. "We're not the bad guys here. Reirei and her jackals are. They've been lying to you."
"I don't believe you Nala!" Kion snarled as the winds picked up in intensity. While this was happening Reirei was smiling to herself.
"My plan couldn't be going better," she thought. "Once Kion uses his Roar to send Simba and Nala back to the Pride Lands there's no way they'll ever come back. And with Kion's Roar taking over the Pride Lands will be all to easy. And the best part is I don't even have to lift a paw. All I have to do and sit back and watch." With that Reirei watched as Kion prepared to unleash his Roar.
"You don't belong here!" Kion growled. "You need to go back to where you came from and never return."
"Kion please," Nala tried again. But once again her words had no effect.
"Leave!" Kion shouted. "Right n.." But before he could continue he heard a voice shout, "Stop!" Kion turned and was shocked when he saw who had shouted.
