Fuli woke up close to sunset.  When she looked around, she saw that Kion was still sleeping.  She felt sick to her stomach.  She stood up and wobbled towards the pool that the falls made and vomited into the falls.  The sound she made seemed to be loud enough to be heard from the back of the Outlands, but it didn't wake Kion at all.  After she was sure she didn't need to be sick in the pool anymore, she wobbled back  to where Kion was and lied next to him.


"Ah," came the voice once Kiara entered the volcano, "Wakala 561 and 562, you're back."

"Yes, Kiongozi."  Kiara answered.  "These lions are fighting harder than a host normally does.  Mine managed to gain control enough to tell her brother your plan."

"Are you too weak for them?"  Kiongozi mocked.

"No, not at all."  Kiara answered.  "It won't happen again.  What are you going to do now that your plan is revealed?"

"Nothing."  Kiongozi replied.  "Even if you let your host gain control so the cubs can come on their own time, your host might escape.  And Wakala 562, you did a great job handling your host's sister.  563 and 564 will find their hosts soon.  Same with 565."

"What should we do?"  Kukimb asked.

"Nothing right now."  Kiongozi answered.  "561, your host will get harder to move soon.  Female lions get bigger before cubs, but the cubs will be worth it in the end.  There will be pain, but you must hold on."

"Of course, Kiongozi."  Kiara and Kukimb said in unison before Kiara turned away from Kukimb.

"Kiongozi, can I excuse myself for a few moments?"  Kiara asked.  "I can feel something coming up my host's throat."

"That's called vomiting, or being sick."  Kiongozi answered.  "It happens before lions have cubs.  One of the weaknesses of their species.  Just let it happen.  It only happens in the morning."

"Thank-" Kiara cut herself off as the vomit came out of her mouth.  Kukimb instinctively winced at the sound of retching.

"You all know the plan, right?"  Kiongozi asked once Kiara was finished.

"Nope."  Kukimb answered.

[Kiongozi]

{Spoken}

Fine.  I'll explain it to you.

{Sung}

There will be new life in the Outlands

The fools in the Pride Lands

Won't know what hit 'em


There'll be new life

Life that'll save our cause

We'll fill 'em with hatred and vice

Give the Pride Landers plenty of strife!

There'll be no pause


[Kiara]

Kion and the Guard won't stand a chance

[Kukimb]

We'll hit them like a lance!

[Kiara, Kiongozi, and Kukimb]

There'll be knew life

Life that'll save our cause

We'll fill 'em with hatred and vice!

Give the Pride Landers plenty of strife!
