Zala had not seen T'Challa in weeks. It was unusual for such a thing to occur. He had never missed a meeting so she knew something was wrong. King Negasi, Zala's father, had told her of T'Chaka's death. She was heartbroken for T'Challa. He loved his father a great deal and tried his best to save him. Now that the King was dead, T'Challa would become the Black Panther, a King. It was all he use to speak of to Zala, she just wished it happened under better circumstances.
The woman could see the see the colonizers through the tall grass. They were dressed in brown uniforms with a matching hard hat and carried guns in their arms. Americans and their guns. The men neared the village that the princess was currently residing in. She could hear them coming from a mile away, using her totem. She stepped out from behind a bungalow, making herself known.
"I suggest that you turn right back around and keep walking" Zala says. "Get out of our way, Woman. We have business here" The general raises his gun to the princess. "If you call poaching and raping "business." This village is under my protection" She says. The men speak in their own language before all raise their guns towards Zala. "You've made a grave mistake" She touched her necklace, harnessing the power of elephants and rhinos.

The blue aura of the animals leaves her and run at the men, knocking them down and throwing them multiple feet. They try to shoot at them but it goes right through. The few left are stepped on, instantly crushed underneath the weight of the animals. Once the men are no longer moving, Zala senses another person in her peripheral. She yanks a knife from her skirt and turns to the person. Standing before her was The Black Panther.
"T'Challa?" She questioned, throwing the knife into the sand. He reached up and took off his helmet. It had only been a few weeks, but he looked different to her. T'Challa had grown taller and buffer. She had spoken but he had not said anything. He didn't even move. It was as if he was frozen. Behind her, a lone colonizer had come out of the forest and his gun was pointed right at her.
"Zala!" He ran towards her, causing her to turn around. Before the man could get off a shot, Okoye appeared with her spear. She knocked the gun out of his hands and hit him in the stomach. He dropped to his knees and Okoye kicked him in the chin, knocking him out. "You froze" Okoye says to T'Challa. He glares at her before looking to Zala who hugged him immediately. She spoke after greeting the leader of the Dora Milaje.
