The Power Between Us

Chapter 11 Loosing And Gaining Hope

Running at a hundred kilometers per hour the Pride lands, Out lands, Lion Guard and the two royals are rushing back home to once again defend the Tree Of Life from it's biggest emery yet, Yassain has been going around giving word to he's allies to prepare for a war, but it wasn't Yassain that is wanting war, it's Rani an Kion who has declared war on the force of fire pride, the reason was for the revenge for Surak's sudden death, part of it was self-blamed by Kion himself, even though Rani assured Kion that he didn't need to stay down, it wasn't his fault but Kion took it on himself and wanting to avenge Surak Kion declared war on Yassain and his soon to be army of thousands, but like wise for the Tree Of Life, having them, Night Pride, Day Pride, Pride Lands, Out Lands, PPO and all the allies. The plan was set clear, to first lay out defences along the borders of the valley and near by prides, send birds to spy on them from high above and train, teach and recruit, get ready for a long winter's battle.

Back home the news of war broke out, animals of all kind and age started to panic and worried, Nirmala and Fugaro tried to calm them down but seeing lions and animals of all kind coming in and out all the time meant that something isn't right, they haven't seen this much movement since 1987. All hoped it didn't end up as a deadly battle that lasted three years and seven months but this time it'll start and end longer then hoped. Troops had set up traps in the west, north, west and east side of the valley with fifty animals guarding each entrance. The main entrance was covered by Mandrills that had spears in their hands and lions who was the second line of defence, this was set up by Kion who told Anga to fly ahead and warn them. Fugaro has told Anga to warn Kion about Yassain, it seems the Yakima Pride was invaded and taken over by one of Yassian's allies. This was the Falconry Pride, consisted by many falcons and evil lions sent for exile but found a way to break free and own the land. A ruthless clan who would do anything to kill and avenge the lost of evil. A day ago the Falconry Pride has unknowingly invaded and killed everyone but the King and Queen of the Yakima Pride, they were ordered to keep them as leverage in case the master plan was to fail. Keeping King Ian and Queen Mona, and a few lions and lioness to torture them sexually and mentally, it has been twelve hours of brutalized harm but yet staying true to their paws they weren't giving in to these bastards, hope still lingers with a chance of someone rescuing them. This carvery is Kion and the Day Pride. Anga flew back half way to meet up with the rushing pack to warn them, " okey, everyone, change of plan, King Ian and Queen Mona has been taken over by the Falconry Pride and needs help, me and the Day Pride will a bring them home, we need the Hyena Resistance to be there to back us up and for Kiara and Kovu to head back to the Tree If Life along with you mum and dad, I can't risk another death, for the lion guard to help protect the Tree Of Life, if another pride is under attack or invaded to rush there and protect and save, plan set? Everyone clear", " CLEAR", everyone got the plan and began running, passing the second last Mojo Kwa Jo stone and heading up the mountain, down the path and towards the horizon. Kion and the Day Pride along with the Hyena Resistance headed east to plan to attack and save the Yakima Pride.

At the Force Of Fire Yassain was preparing his troops and allies to attack the Jungara Pride, a strong ally to the Tree Of Life, it is a jungle pride so the dense, wet and environment should help those who protect it, they were the ones who first made the spears, the mandrills, baboons and many more species that respect the Tree Of Life and of course the circle of life. " Hundreds of you will take over that area, we need that for our cover, if we want to win this war we need bases, the jungle is a great place to hide, set up and gather Intel, it's close to the Tree of Life so it'll be easy to run but hard to take over, be carful and take them out quietly. Attack at night and attack in who's name?", " SCAR, SCAR, SCAR", chants of his less so great name roared out over the lands as one hundred animals got ready to attack the jungle, a war has just begun and already so much movement, so much drama and confusion, many prides and animals to fight for and save and day by day all getting taken over. Kion knew this was going to happen and needs to realize that it's just not home their fighting for it's freedom, peace and much more. The Circle Of Life hangs in the balance between good and evil, one wrong turn and all hell brakes loose, they can't let that happen, everyone trust Kion and Rani to lead them to victory and justice, for the death of many innocent animals, warriors and even bystanders, especially the death of Surak, a loving, caring, strong and brave lion who died in the hands of Kion but more so Yassain, they trust and believe Kion and save and avenge them, avenge and save the Yakima pride as well, may the war begin.

..........
Heading for the Yakima Pride Anga and a few birds go ahead first to scope out the area, to see how many enemies there are and to see how they'll save the pride. Seeing from birds eye view the keenest of sight can see twenty lions and many more animals of different kind, they doubled back and told Kion, " alright guys, so you guys wait here, if we need help we'll call you, Anga fly ahead of us and be watch over, we will sneak past, take them out one by one and work our way in, it's only the lions were worried about, everyone keep out of sight and stay quite, from now it's a black ops mission, to abstraction if King Ian and Queen Mona. Heads nodded as Kion lead his pack inside the lands, watching from afar Jaseri and Janga wait, in patient and worried, " what if they get caught and we're not there to help out?", for the first time in forever Janga stared to have feeling and emotions towards Kion, " they'll be fine, as long as were ready everyone will make it out alive", Cheezi and Chungu had to be made to calm down a few times, being themselves they were hard to keep quite and dark." Shut up fur brains", "okey Janga", they soon settled down and waited for anything, it could be seconds, minutes or even hours before they could be called into action. The sun was setting which made it easier, being lions they had night vision eyes and could see easily at night.

Seeking in and passing many lions and animals who was too busy talking about his great dinner will be, wanting to take them out so badly Fuli was ready to pounce but was told to stand down, not wanting to blow their cover, they were heading for the cave in which King Ian and Queen Mona was held, not only seeing two as well, many more were walking towards them, laughing and bringing in dinner, there was at least thirty of them, all ready for dinner. Kion knew he had to draw them out, to much to take on, it's unfair and cruel to have a thirty vs six, even with the Hyena Resistance it still won't be enough, then it'll be a twenty vs thirty but Kion had a plan. " here's a plan, we need a diversion, we need to separate them into groups so Bunga and Besthe, you'll be the bait, act stupid and they'll chase you, run as far as you can there, Anga will be there to help you, Bunga use your fart to minimize their threat and knock them out and defend the best you can, that'll leave a few maybe more so we need to lure them all out", " what about Jaseri's clan?", Ono gave the idea to Kion who liked it, Ono flew off to get Jaseri and her clan to lure out and fight as much enemies as possible to give them the chance to get King and Queen Yakima out if there along with the other hostages. Quietly Janga lead his troops around the cave and lured the rest out, Jaseri and her gang lead the other half, making the Plan work Kion and Fuli got to work looking for the two royals, Ian? Mona?", whispering Kion called out their names, a few of the lions and lioness was about to attack till they saw the mane of Kion," oh god, thank god your here, queen Mona is hurt badly, they beat her up bad", leading them to the injured Queen, she looked in bad shape, marks, bruises and scratches was showing, she was hardly breathing, a broken nose and fractured paw. King Ian was alright and was glad to see Kion and Fuli, " can't thank you enough, now can we please get out of here", " don't thank me now, let's roll", Fuli helped queen Mona up, seeing that she couldn't move they waited a few minutes, at that moment footsteps was doming for them, " quick, go back into position, pretend to be hurt", Kion looked at Fuli who rushed to the entrance of the cave, Kion on one side behind the wall and Fuli on the other, " now, let's get back to our dinner", ready to attack Kion and Fuli pounced on them, not understanding what's happening and taken off guard they fell to their knees straight away, knocked out from the contact, while doing that Kion went under one of the Lions while Fuli leaped on top, making him trip and split his head against a sharp rock, the other was taken out by the guards of king Ian and queen Mona. Besthe and Bunga came around along with the other clan, " we better hurry up their coming fast", Janga made the announcement "," Besthe, Carr queen Mona", everyone casualty formation, immediately the Lion Guard got into a circle formation around Besthe, the guard followed suit, while leaving the others will fight while the rest protect the injured animal. They headed out with Kion ahead, " THEY ARE COMING", Anga shouted it out as they heard roars in the distance getting closer and closer Kion had to end it," get ready, stay behind and brace " tensing and remaining clam, Kion looked up the sky and took a deep breath, breathed and waited for the right time, getting closer and closer everyone braced, " what are we doing, Kion, KION", King Ian didn't know what was going on, " hold on", the time came, Kion let out a stream of the roar of the elders at the running lions who was about to attack. They were now flying, high and out of the lands. The mission was complete and their land was safe. Smiling to himself Kion knew he did a great job but it wasn't over as he was smiling Yassain's pack was heading for the Jungara Pride.
