The Lion King: The Forgotten Son

The Wolves Of Wrath

Kopa POV
I woke the next morning in a den next to Vitani. She lay very still and asleep. I smiled at her adorable sleeping face. I licked her left ear. She woke slowly. She looked around the den then locked eyes with me and smiled.
"Good morning Tani" I said.
"Good morning Kopa" she said. We nuzzled before we decided to face the day
"Alright time to see what the tree needs today" I said stretching on the ground.
"Hopefully nothing bad" she said.
"Heres to it". Before we could leave I heard something at the entrance. I turned to see two wolves standing there.
"Are you Kopa" said one.
I backed up next to Vitani, we were both ready for a fight.
"Who wants to know"
"Well the alpha wants you dead for killing the old alpha".
Vitani and I tensed.
"But that's not happening".
Vitanu seemed lost.
"I assume you are Kopa" he said looking at me "My name is Omega and she is Beta and we don't agree with the alpha" said Omega.
"We want to help you" said Beta.
"How can we be so sure" said Vitani.
"We promise that we are on your side, we just want to see Alpha's time as leader is brought to a crumbling end" said Omega.
Vitani and I were still unsure.
"We will tell you every you need to know about what Alpha has planned like how he lured you here with no intentions to attack until you arrived" said Omega.
"I knew it" I said.
"We want to make the wolf species liked again, going all this petty pillaging doesn't make us look good" said Beta. Their words I could tell were genuine but I have been wrong before. I looked at Vitani then back to them.
"Okay you can help but I will keep a close watch on you".
"Understandable we just want to stop this".
"Come we will take you to Rani and Kion".
We went to Kion and Rani, they told them their story.
"Okay but is it just you two" said Rani.
"No we have a few others waiting on us" said Omega.
"So what do they have planned" asked Kion.
"Well Alpha plans on waiting until the tree is at its weakest, when the fear Kopa instilled in you settles" said Beta.
"When does he think that will happen" said Kopa.
"The day after tomorrow" said Omega.
"That doesn't leave us with much time to prepare but some is better than none" said Rani.
"He will attack from the south river, he thinks it quicker and quieter".
"Good we will reinforce the river thank you Beta, Omega" said Kion.
"No problem" said Omega.
"You all may stay at the tree" said Rani.
"Good we will set up at the river, let us know your plan of attack" said Omega. They walked away.
"Hey Kopa can I talk to you for a minute" said Rani.
"Sure" I nuzzled Vitani goodbye and followed her. She took to a cliff near by that over looked an open field.
"I'm sorry about yesterday Kopa I don't blame you for any of those things it's just that my parents always tall about how great you were. It made me feel like I had an older I would never see" said Rani.
"But Rani your parents are..." I started.
"Kopa is that you it sure has been a long time" said A voice. I looked up. In the sky were the busts of Shashi and Ananda.
"How are you" I started.
"We may be dead Kopa but we are always with the ones we care about, Ranu talks to us all the time" said Ananda.
"Just like your brother has Asakri and Simba has Mufusa" said Sahasi.
"But I don't have anyone".
"Of course you do Kopa, you just have to gaze upon the sky and call upon them" said Ananda.
"But we are proud of you kid you did all right getting home".
"But I killed Ishi and Mira".
"Bah those fools don't worry about it, the point is you proved to everyone that you could do it alone and you brightened everyone's world by returning just look at Vitani. I told you everything happens for a reason" said Sahasi.
"But what about the elder rage I still haven't controlled it".
"It will come in due time son don't worry"
I smiled
"It was good hearing from you again".
"Same to you Kopa see you later" they said as they vanished.
Rani was still beside me.
"You were the one who kill those two serval, thanks you really did us all a favor or so I have been told"
"Your parents were great people Rani".
"I know they were now you must think deeply and discover who your vision truly is. I'll see you later Kopa" said Rani.
I looked up at the afternoon sky. I began thinking of who I could summon then it came to me.
"Karus...Karus can you hear me" I called out. At first there was nothing but then the clouds parted once more and Karus appeared.
"Hello Kopa I was wondering when you would need me after all I was a close friend". Was perfectly healed just like he was  before I left the oasis to return home.
"Karus it's good to see you".
"Same to you son".
"You were like an older brother to me back then just like.."
"Surak yes I know, I can sense it inside you".
"But shouldn't you be appearing to your Inara".
"I do but with her mother, we can visit multiple people you know son".
"Oh".
"If you ever need to talk to someone about something I am your guy".
"Well I do have this power that I can't control".
"The rage yes I have heard of it, I had it before you".
"What I thought Scar did".
"Yes but he passed it to me after not being able to control, he cursed it so who ever has it will be plagued by him. That's your first to controlling, is to block him out".
I hadn't envisioned Scar ever since he guided me home.
"I think I already have".
"Are you sure the steps going forward will be made very wise. Trust me I know".
"Yes I have".
"Good now you learn patience"
"But I have..."
"Let me tell you a story kid about how I cured my patience problem".
"Okay I could learn something".
"But I will tell it when I am ready".
So we sat in silence. I began to tap my impatient foot.
"You don't have patience"
"Okay fine".
"Go to Vitani and ask her to teach you patience"
"Look I love Vitani but she..."
"She has an average fuse not a lack of patience".
"Okay thank you Karus".
"No problem don't forget to come back to me after you complete that task". I went to find Vitani. She went back to the den.
"Kopa your'e back what want did Rani want to talk about" she said.
"She told about how positively they think of me, then she should me that I can still talk to them in the sky. They told that everybody has their own and I did to I just had to find it.".
"How were Sahasi and Ananda to you".
"They were like second parents, while I was still young theh watched over me and made sure I was okay".
"Kion and your father both talk to people in the sky, who is yours".
"Karus".
"The king of the oasis"
"Yes even though I wasn't with him for a very long time I still thought of him as an older brother". Vitani nuzzled me.
"I'm sorry Kopa".
"He told me he used to have the rage. He told my first real step was learning patience, he told you would teach me patience".
She smiled.
"I would love to".
"I didn't think either of us had patience"
"Ha maybe you don't but I do".
"I have seen you mad before".
She laughed.
"Kopa for you to be the smartest of lion guard sometimes you don't seem that way. Kopa patience is a type of anger".
"Right" why was I forgetting this. Come to think of it ever since I talked to Karus I haven't felt the greatest. I felt dizzy and everything smelled weird.
"Alright Kopa I learned patience a long time ago when..." suddenly my ears rung and everything got brighter. I felt a steady flow of liquid come from my nose.
"Vitani I don't feel to..." suddenly I feel to the ground.
Vitani looked paniced as she came over to me. I couldn't hear what she said because my ears rang. Eventually my eyes closed and I was asleep.

In Kopa's Dream
I woke in a panic I didn't know where I was. There was a bunch of people around me and I didn't know who they were. They all looked the same. They were black and very dark purple fur and magenta glowing eyes. They kept getting closer and closer to me. I lashed out at them and began to run. I chased some away. One of them kept saying Rage, Rage, Rage over and over again. When I was close to the edge a large black and purple lion stepped in front of me. They said my name with anger and hate their claws were unsheathed. He was going to attack. Not if I have anything to saw about it. I pounced on him biting into his shoulder.
"Kopa, Kopa, KOPA". My name was being called. Suddenly my vision turned to normal. I was at the edge of the tree of life. Calling my name was an afraid Vitani along with a scared Rani. Kion. Below was a bleeding Surak. What am I doing why am I... the rage. I had single handedly injured almost all of the trees defenses and I may have killed Surak he isn't moving.
I looked around feeling ashamed.
Vitani looked at me and slowly walked towards me.
"Kopa are you okay".
Before I could hurt any one else I away. I ran and ran away from the tree tears in my eyes. Why was this happening to me. Not paying attention I tripped and fell down a hill into a tree. I blacked out.

"Wakey, Wakey Kopa" said a voice.
I opened my eyes and I was nowhere. Scar stood in front of me.
"What do you want".
"You will never master the rage kid I will see too it".
"Yes I will Scar".
"Not with my new minions and your weakened tree friends".

I opened my eyes to find myself a ways away from the tree and my head hurt.
