Fuli stares into the fire waiting for any sign of Scar. One moment passes then another and so on. Just when Fuli was beginning to think it was just a flaming rock, four fiery figure emerge from the flames. Animals scream in terror as these figures were recognised instantly.

The leader was obviously Scar himself. His face and paws glowed with fire. To his left was Nuka and to Scar's right was Zira and Tiffu.

"Surprise." Coos Scar.

Animals run around in circles out of fear while the outlanders laugh at them.

"Sorry to crash the party but we have a kingdom to take over!!!" Laughs Nuka.

"LIONS! You know what to do." Orders Scar.

The three lion spirits roar before charging in to fight.

Zira and Nuka knew who their target was...Kiara and Kovu.

"Oh Kovu..." Purrs Zira.

"M-mother?" Asks Kovu.

"Don't forget about me, brother." Says Nuka.

Kovu and Kiara growl at their opponents.

"Mother! Mother! Let me take on Kovu! I'll prove myself that I should have been Scar's successor! I'll cut him open and watch him crawl while begging for mercy..." Begs Nuka while acting the fight with paws.

Zira rolls her eyes at her dead crazy son. As much of a disappointment he was, she too wanted revenge.

"Very well. You handle your brother while I handle Kiara." Snarls Zira.

Kiara gasps. She backs away in fear as Zira inches closer to strike.

"Don't you dare lay a claw on her!" Orders Kovu stepping in between his mother and his mate.

"YOU were supposed to kill Simba! YOU were supposed to be Scar's successor! YOU TOOK AWAY NUKA'S LIFE!!! YOU PAINED ME WHEN YOU WENT TO HER AND LEFT ME BROKEN!!! Now I will return the favour." Says Zira, an evil smile taking over her face.

Nuka pounces on Kovu and the two start fighting ferociously. Zira lunges for Kiara but Kiara quickly dodges.

Meanwhile, Tiffu locks eyes with Zuri.

"T-Tiffu? How are you-?"

"I'm obviously dead! Dead but a spirit."

"Please don't do this, Tiffu. I know there's still good in you."

"Zuri, Zuri, Zuri, always begging and thinking of herself. A coward, a cheater, a liar. And now, she will pay the price."

Zuri shakes in fear. Her once best friend, now a spirit was about to kill her.

"ZURI WATCH OUT!" Screams a voice.

Fuli lunges at Tiffu and pins her to the ground.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Fuli. I was wondering when you'd show up." Says Tiffu.

"I see you're still the selfish, greedy, whiney lioness that tried to kill us." Snaps Fuli.

"But may I ask, where's that lover boy Kion?" Smirks Tiffu.

"Gone. But I don't see why he needs to be apart of the conversation."

"He will one day turn to the dark. He just needs to let it in."

Tiffu bites Fuli's paw making her scream in pain. Tiffu then kicks her off before back slapping her face. Fuli falls to the ground, unable to stand, too weak to fight. Fuli watches as Tiffu defeats Zuri in their fight. Fuli looks over to see Kovu lying unconscious with Kiara standing in front of him to protect him from Zira and Nuka. But Kiara was no match against the spirits.

A roar grabs Fuli's attention to PrideRock. She saw Simba crying for his fallen mate, trying desperately to wake her up. Nala was covered in scratches and was losing blood fast. To Fuli's horror, she sees Scar slowly walking up to the King before delivering the final blow. Scar roars in victory.

The Outlanders had won.

Fuli found herself touching her mark of the lion guard. She remembers her teammates and how she had failed them. One by one Fuli finds her teammates lying unconscious or being attacked by Outlanders until they surrendered. Fuli tries to stand but Janja pins her against the ground.

"Give up, cheetah. You know you've lost." He laughs.

"Is this the end?" She asks herself.

Fuli wanted to say goodbye to the one she loved if this was the end.

'Kion? Can you hear me?' Asks Fuli through thought.

Far away, a young lion listens to Fuli. He closes his eyes and sees what the Pridelands are like. He saw fire, blood and evil. He also saw his best friends captured by the Outlanders. The lion lays his eyes on Fuli. Invisible to everyone but the nightmare of which he saw filled his stomach with guilt.

'I hope you can hear me.' Begins Fuli. 'I just wanted you to know that...I failed. I failed you and the Pridelands. This is probably the end. I don't know what the Outlanders have in store for us and I wanted to say goodbye if...'

Fuli couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. She was scared. She feared what the outlanders would do to her, the guard and the remaining members of the Royal family. The thought made Fuli's heart skip a beat. Her vision begins to blur and she could feel herself falling unconscious.

'I'm sorry'.

Fuli finishes her goodbye and watches as Scar, Zira, Nuka and Tiffu walk to the edge of PrideRock. Zira sings in victory.

Lions over all
No animal is more grand
Lions over all
It's why we rule the land
We crush any resistance
So enemies keep their distance
Lions, lions over all

The outlanders laugh and cheer in victory. Darkness surrounds Fuli as she drifts unconscious.
