The Power Between Us

Chapter 14 We Got The Spark Got The Flame And The Fire

Hearing about the plan the lion guard scurry back with the Night Pride to prepare for a battle, although they're not attack yet there is still training and recovering to be done, many young lions who have big hearts have no experience on the front line, some don't know how to fight and defend themselves at all, so with Kion's help and all the leaders each lion will get a mentor to guide them through the training, it'll be hard and challenging for them but with strength and respect they'll ace the task and fight along side the alliances to win, end this war. There are fifty lions who are willing to fight for the greater good, volunteering and risking their life to defeat the sinners of the world. The group will be split into five groups, ten in each, all will be taught by a leader who will be their mentor for the rest of the war, the forces are called, red team, blue team, green team, yellow team, purple team, something basic but the colours represent the deep meaning of their mental and physical state in mind, how fit, smart and ready they are, "it doesn't matter who is what team, were here to train and win this war", the lions sat patiently listening to what the King had to say, nodding and chanting the Tree Of Life motto they were ready. Splitting off into the five teams they headed off with their mentors for the first part to their training, " this is war, no mucking around, it's life or death, good or evil, from noe on it's hard training and tuff tasks, no quits and no acting sissy", direct orders from the great leader Fugaro, leader of the red team, they first went on a long tiring sprint across the lands, from the tree to the top of the mountain to king Kikau's lands, five hundred miles of running and jogging, no signs of giving up came from the team that ranged from sixteen to twenty six years old. The green team lead by Simba went off to get the basics down, blue team ran by Sambawi, a fierce leader who was always wise, a warrior who fought in the cold war, winning and defending his pride with one eye and thirty men, many thought it was a myth, legend but soon like Kion was found to be true as it'll get, happily mentoring a young pack who is willingly to die if they need to win for their kings and queens. The purple team started out in the west where there is now a training base, learning new Technics and moves to defend and fight for themselves, learning hard and basic self defence moves, it was going to be tuff so blood had to be spilt on the ground. Their mentor is Jaseri and Janga along with the hyena resistance, first seeing them they laughed, hyena's fighting against lions? Impossible, " you there?", Jaseri heard the talking and called out a lion who thought he was too cool for school type if kid, "what's your name?", the kid answers and was sounded brave and not threatened, that is what we want, no fear at all but it was brought upon when Jaseri made her move, " so Khan, you think we can't fight?, can you?", " yeah, my dad taught me, so I can take care if myself thank you", it was getting tense as the others were half grinning and staying quiet, " okey then, come here", Khan smiled and walked towards Jaseri who waited till he got close to her then put her paw onto his and with force dropped them, he fell and Jaseri turned and with her back legs kicked his mane, with her might he was winded quickly, he got up and tried fighting but Jaseri was one step ahead of Khan, guessing his moves all the time Khan was defeated quickly. The crowd laughed at Khan, an eighteen year old lion who was humiliated by a female hyena, feeling dumb and outplayed Khan walked off,
"now anyone else want to judge a hyena by it's spots is more then welcome to end up like Khan", everyone remained calm, Janga joined her side and stood by her word, the whole resistance gathered around her, showing their dominance. The backed down as smirks faded away and they were ready to learn," that's what I thought, now for that go run fifteen mikes and come back, if none of you make it back by lunch then you'll do it again in the cold",'' doesn't sound to bad", " at night", Jaseri made the hyena laugh as they didn't want to run at six degrees at night, running towards the horizon the hyenas walked off to go sort things out amongst the pride. The others where trained by King Mansour and Crichton.

The Day Pride and Lion Guard went off to patrol the borders as the Night Pride was helping the injured animals, coming back from the battle front of caught up in the cross fire, Nirmala was tired from staying up all night healing the sick, hurt and dead animals, she was glad to see that there wasn't anymore animals and so was clear to have a quick nap. Exhausted Nirmala fell asleep within a minute off closing her eyes. Rani and Makini was going around checking and counting the troops, resources came in and out as all over Africa was loosing lions and animals, food and weapons were needed everywhere and it was stressful to figure out where each pack goes, it was shipped by elephants carrying them on their back, lead by agents from the PPO they sometimes made it across the lands safe and sound but a few times it was hard to get to the places and therefore died or got lost. Kiara and Kovu were in charge of keeping the young ones safe and busy while everyone was fighting. Basically a day care aged between seventeen months to fourteen years old.

Kion went on a walk when their break was due, going up on the mountain of Pezi, Kion wanted to talk to his grandfather
"Grandfather Mufasa?",
" yes Kion, I am here"
" hi grandfather, sorry I haven't been talking much, I've been too busy dealing with attacks and rescuers that I completely forgot about you guys up there ",
" don't worry about it Kion, it's great that your putting your pride first before mine, it is important to keep focus",
" I don't know how were going to win this war, even though I try not think negative things it keeps coming back into my mind that we'll loose",
" Kion, were not going to let them win, for starters we have too many allies and great animals that'll defeat Yassain, your a great leader and with many others like your father, Yassain will loose this war, don't this the negatives, keep your head straight and you'll find yourself coming out of this stronger then ever",
"But what if we loose?",
" Kion trust your instincts, YOU will lead us to victory, do you know why?"
"Because I am Kion?",
" yes, but also because we have the spark, the flame and the fire and we'll light up the dark, you'll light up the dark, to let light through and destroy the darkness forever, the spark is you, the flame is confidence all around you and the fire is everyone around you",
"Thanks grandfather Mufasa, I get the message, I promise to not let you down",
" you never do",
