Daniel Tiger And The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride The Final Chapter

Chapter 6

[The scene transitions to Pride Rock in the morning. Kovu strides out of the den, clearly agitated. He looks guiltily over one shoulder, then paces to the edge of the promontory.]
Kovu:Okay, I have to tell her today. Oh, where do I start? "Kiara, Zira had a plot, and I was part of it, but I don't wanna be, because... It's because I love you." *sighs* She'll never believe me. [Kovu walks back toward the den.] But I gotta try. [Kovu enters the den.] Kiara, [Kiara approaches with a smile.] I need to talk to you.
Simba:[from offscreen] Kiara!
Kovu:[Kovu and Kiara turn toward Simba.] *gasps*
Simba:[sternly] I don't want you talking with him. [Simba smiles.] I want to talk with him.

[Kiara smiles, while Kovu looks concerned. Simba winks. Kovu and Simba walk out of the den, and Kiara watches them go happily. The scene transitions to a barren landscape of scorched ground and dead trees. Kovu and Simba walk across the plain together.]
Simba:Scar couldn't let go of his hate, and in the end, it destroyed him.
Kovu:I've...never heard the story of Scar that way. [Kovu and Simba pause.] He truly was a killer.
Simba:[Simba looks upon the charred landscape.] Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before... [Simba steps in the dirt, then draws his paw away, revealing a green shoot. Kovu and Simba duck to look at the plant.] if given the chance.
Zira:[from offscreen] *cackles* [Kovu and Simba look around.]
Kovu:*gasps*
Outsiders:[The Outsiders emerge from the shadows and stalk toward Kovu and Simba.] *growls*
Simba:[Simba looks to the side to see more Outsiders emerging.] *gasps*
Zira: Why, Simba...
Simba: Zira.
Zira: What are you doing out here, and-- so alone? {the lionesses encircle Simba and Kovu} Well done, Kovu... just like we always planned.
Simba: {turning on Kovu} What? You.
Kovu:No!
Simba:*snarls*
Kovu:[Kovu looks around at the Outsiders desperately.] I didn't have anything to do with this! [Kovu looks imploringly at Simba.]
Zira:Attack!
Nuka:[Nuka lunges at Simba.] *snarls*
Simba:[Simba knocks Nuka away.] *grunts*
Kovu:No!
Simba and Outsiders:[The Outsiders attack Simba.] *snarls*
Simba:Ah! [Simba fights back as more Outsiders gang up on him.]
Outsiders:*snarls*
Kovu:[Kovu jumps into the fray. He knocks an Outsider aside.] *grunts* [Vitani kicks Kovu, knocking him into a nearby rock. He falls unconscious.]
Outsiders:[The Outsiders swarm over Simba.] *snarls*
Simba:[Nuka leaps into the fight, knocking Simba off a cliff. He falls into the gorge.] *grunts*
Zira:[Zira surveys Simba from the top of the gorge.] Yes! [The Outsiders slide down the side of the gorge toward Simba.] We've got him!
Outsiders:snarls*
Vitani:[Vitani pounces at Simba.] Rah!
Zira:[from offscreen] Remember your training! [The Outsiders chase Simba through the gorge. One jumps on his back, but falls.] As a unit!
Outsiders:*growls*
Simba:[Simba pauses at the bottom of a log pile. He looks up to see that it leads to the top of the gorge.] *pants* [Simba looks behind him to see the Outsiders charging toward him. He begins to climb the log pile.] *grunts* [As Simba climbs, he dislodges a log that falls toward the Outsiders. They back away in time to avoid getting hit.]
Zira and Vitani:[Zira and Vitani glare up at Simba.] *snarls*
[Simba looks over one shoulder at the Outsiders down below. He then looks back up at the log pile.]
Kovu:[Kovu stands at the top of the gorge, looking down on Simba.] Simba!
Zira:Get him, Kovu! Get him! [Kovu runs offscreen.] Do it! Now! [Simba continues to climb.]
Nuka:Nuka clambers up the log pile after Simba.] I'll do it for you, Mother! [Nuka bounds gleefully up the logs.] *snickers* [Nuka loses his balance.] Oh! [Nuka looks down at Zira as he climbs.] Mother, are ya watching? [under his breath] I'm doin' it for you, and I'm doin' it for me.
Simba:[Simba loses his footing.] Ah!
Nuka:[Nuka grabs onto one of Simba's back paws.] *whoops*
Simba:[Simba winces.] *grunts*
Nuka:This is my moment of glory! [The log Nuka is standing on breaks, causing him to fall.] What? No!
Zira:No!
Nuka:[Nuka falls. Several logs land on top of him.] Ah!
Simba:[Simba climbs higher, kicking more logs down the pile.] *grunts*
Nuka:[Nuka struggles to free himself. He looks up in fright as more logs fall toward him.] *screams*
[Simba climbs to safety. Meanwhile, more logs fall, raising dust. After a moment, the dust clears.]
Kovu:[Kovu bounds down to the bottom of the gorge. He starts to pry the logs off Nuka.] *grunts* [Zira shoves Kovu aside.] *shouts*
Zira:Zira reaches down for Nuka.] *pants* [Kovu backs away. Zira shoves a log aside with her head.] *grunts*
Nuka:[Nuka is seen hopelessly buried in logs.] *coughs*
Zira:[heartbroken] Nuka...
Nuka:[weakly] I'm sorry, M-Mother. I tried.
Zira:[Zira reaches down for Nuka.] Shhh.
Nuka:starts to speak* [Nuka's eyes shut, and his head falls limply in Zira's paw. She draws back slowly, leaving his head to rest on the logs.]
Zira:[Zira stares down at Nuka, devastated.] *breathes heavily* [Vitani approaches from behind.]
Vitani:[sadly] Nuka... [Vitani bows her head.]
[The scene transitions to the open savanna. Simba limps through the grass. Kiara, Zazu, Timon,Pumbaa,Daniel Tiger, O the Owl, Katerina Kittycat, Prince Wednesday,Miss Elaina, Jodi Platypus, and Aj appear on a nearby hill.]
Kiara:Father? Father! [Kiara looks at Zazu, who has alighted in a nearby tree.] Zazu, get help!
Zazu:Oh, yes! [Zazu flies away.] Help! At once! Of course!
Daniel Tiger: Oh no Simba Jodi Get your Mother!
Jodi Platypus:You got it.
[Kiara, Timon,Daniel Tiger, O the Owl, Katerina Kittycat, Prince Wednesday,Miss Elaina,Aj and Pumbaa rush down the hill toward Simba. He pauses and looks up wearily at their arrival.]
Simba:*grunts*
Kiara:Father... [Kiara nuzzles Simba.]
Simba:[Kiara pulls away and watches Simba with concern.] *breathes heavily*
Timon:[Pumbaa skids to a halt in front of Simba, with Timon in his mane.] Simba, talk to me! [Timon spreads his arms wide.] What happened?
Daniel Tiger:Simba what happened to you?
Simba:breathes heavily* Kovu... Ambush... [Simba collapses on his side.] *moans*
Kiara:No.
Timon:[Pumbaa picks up Simba's head, while Timon lifts his tail.] It's all right, buddy. We're here for ya. [Timon and Pumbaa carry Simba away, while Kiara,[Kiara,Daniel Tiger, O the Owl, Katerina Kittycat, Prince Wednesday,Miss Elaina, and Aj strides alongside them.]
[The scene transitions to the gorge. The Outsiders are gathered mournfully around the log pile.]
Zira:Scar, watch over my poor Nuka. [Zira glares over one shoulder at Kovu.] Oh... [Zira lunges at Kovu.] You!
Kovu:[Kovu looks up. Zira slashes him in the face.] Ah! [Kovu turns away.] *breathes heavily* [Kovu looks back at Zira angrily, revealing a scar over his left eye.]
Zira:What have you [Zira juts her head at Kovu.] done?
Kovu:I didn't... I-I didn't mean to. I... It wasn't my fault. I... [steeling himself] *breathes heavily* I did [Kovu juts his head at Zira.] nothing!
Zira:Exactly! [Zira paces around Kovu.] And in doing so, you betrayed your pride. Betrayed Scar!
Kovu:I want nothing more to do with him!
Zira:You cannot escape it. [Zira strides toward Kovu, who backs away. Kovu slips on a rock and falls on his backside.] Nuka is dead because of you!
Kovu:[softly] No.
Zira:[Zira and Vitani glower at Kovu.] You've killed your own brother!
Kovu:No! [Kovu runs away from the Outsiders.]
Outsiders:*roars*
Zira:[Zira holds up a paw to halt Vitani.] Let him go. [Zira climbs a pillar of rock and stands overlooking the Outsiders.] Simba hurt me for the last time. [The Outsiders gather below Zira, grinning.] Now, he has corrupted Kovu! Listen to me. Simba is injured and weak. [Zira lifts a fist.] Now is the time to [Zira slams her fist into the ground.] attack! We will take his entire kingdom...by force!
Outsiders:[The Outsiders rear onto their hind legs.] *roars*
Zira:*cackles triumphantly*
