A young lion with a green puff of mane and looks out at his home in awe. He turns and runs to his sleeping parents.

"Dad, Dad! Come on, Dad, we gotta go! Wake up!" Izuku yelled for his dad, he ran over the other sleeping lions.

"Dad! Dad!" Izuku yelled and kept repeating himself.

"Your son is awake," Inko whispered to her husband.

"Before sunrise, he's your son." All might grumbled. Izuku grabbed his father's ear and pulled but fell back and hit the wall.

"You promised," Izuku whined and gave him the puppy eyes.

"Okay, Okay I'm up." All Might yawned and went outside to the top of Pride Rock with his son right behind him.

"Look, Izuku. Everything the light touches is our kingdom." All Might started.

"Wow."

"A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Young Izuku, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king."

"And this will all be mine?" Izuku asked.

"Everything."

"Everything the light touches. What about that shadowy place?" Izuku asked.

"That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Izuku." All Might said sternly.

"But I thought a king can do whatever he wants."

"Oh, there's more to being king than getting your way all the time."

"There's more?"

"Izuku" All Might chuckled. The son and father go to the field way, where antelope run away. "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."

"But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?" Izuku asked.

"Yes, Izuku, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eats the grass. And so we are all connected in the great circle of life."

"Good morning, sire!" Nezu flew in.

"Good morning, Nezu."

"Checking in with the morning report," Nezu says and lands on a rock.

"Fire away." All might grumble.

"Well! The buzz from the bees is that leopards are in a bit of a spot." Nezu started.

A grasshopper catches Izuku's eye, and he starts hopping after it. All Might watch in amusement.

"What are you doing, son?" All Might asks. Izuku pounces but misses it and looks at his paws.

"Pouncing."

"Let an old pro show you how it's done." All might whisper and look at Nezu who was too busy talking rather than paying attention. "Nezu, would you turn around?"

"Yes, sire." Nezu said and turn around, but it still talked

"Stay low to the ground." All Might whispered and pushed Izuku's butt down.

"Stay low to the ground," Izuku muttered to himself.

"What's going on?" Nezu asked.

"A pouncing lesson." All might say.

"Very good. Pouncing." Nezu said and turned back around. "Pouncing?! No, sir, you can't be serious... This is so humiliating."

"Try not to make a sound."
