The Lion King 3- Nuka's Return-The Reversing Of The Ways Foreword: This story picks up right about the end of Simba's Pride. And it has things in it you might not udnerstand unless you read my other story, Scar's Reign-The Ending Of Scar.
Simba purred happily as Kiara and Kovu danced around in the flowers. Kiara, as young as she was, was now being taught hunting by Kovu, who knew how to hunt better than most of the lionesses in the pride.
Kovu glanced up from his work to look at Simba. He smiled. Then he turned his head to the horizon, and watched the sun setting.
He thought about the past, about his training against Kiara, and his mother Zira falling to her death, and then, his thoguths ventured to Nuka, who had died trying to honor his mother by bringing the downfall of Simba. For a moment his heart went out to him. Then he remembered how his old pride had ambushed Mufasa, trying to trick Simba into thinking Kou was part of it. He remembered his exile, and nearly put his head down in sadness. Always, though, his thoughts ventured back to Nuka.
He was shaken out of his thoughts by Kiara, who had pounced on him and landed with her belly on his head. She had seen he was spaced out and took the moment to ambush! Kovu shook his mane, and laughed, as a buerfly flew over and landed on Kiara's nose and made her sneeze.
Simba turned away. He walked back up to Pride Rock, and as he was about to enter the cave, Tivishi, a lioness of the pride,(and also a 2nd cousin of Vitani) came rushing out.
"Simba!! Your majesty!! Suralia is about to have her cub!! Isn't that wonderful??? And Vitani and Sarafila and Nala are in there watching over her, and they sent me out here, sir..."
Simba smiled and walked to a sunny alcove in the side of pride rock. He watched some birds fly far off, into the bright glare of the sun. And then his eyes ventured to the orange-red canyons of the outlands.
The outlands were perfectly normal, as normal as possible, except for the fact that there was about 5 lions down there!!!
Simba roared. If the group regathered, then nothing would be safe, and new cubs would be in danger....
He roared again, then heard a tiny high-pitched shriek. He ran to the mouth of the main chamber and looked in. Why, there lay Suralia, with a tiny cub between her paws.
It still had, like, no shape at all yet, but Simba knew within a couple of weeks that it would be furry and happy.
Another shriek!! And another!! Simba ran back to the cave to find 4 cubs, laying in a little heap. He left and went back to the alcove, the outsiders forgotten.
Tukah the lion cub gave a little squeak. A week after birth the lion cubs still weren't very active, but at least they had fur and some had their eyes open. Tukah was the only lion cub. His sibling were all girls. And another thing was strange about his family. All 4 cubs had white fur arund their face and nose and mouth, but it was golden again on their chins. Their noses were golden too. And Tukah had a large, light brown sandy color patch around one ear. Tukah blew a little bubble and went back to sleep.
"Come on, Kilimanjaro, let go," urged a lioness. She was thin and bony, but had well kept fur that seemed very loose on ther tiny, bony body. But her ears were very large, and her tail tuft was huge, nearly half as big as her head. It was to fan herself in this outlands heat. She was one of the 3 lionesses and 2 lions that stayed in the outllands, still hating (and fearing) Simba.
Kilimanjaro was a very dark lion, with brown-black fur that was almost black, and a brown mane. He had red and yellow eyes. He snarled.
"Don't rush me, Viterialon, or I will make your tail tuft reasonably smaller!" he growled. The lioness gave his a sharp whack. "OWWW! What was that for???" he said, rubbing his whiskers, which were all bent up and crooked.
