The Power Between Us

Chapter 17 Planning For Memories

The day came for the Tree Of Life, they needed to stand proud and strong during these tuff times, death and sorrow, loosing more then what Kion and Rani owes, hoping to finally defeat the great evil that has once again risen, rises to take the circle of life and dismantle it into pieces of heartache and anger. Leading the allies to battle Kion ordered for the attack, gathering and training to their full potential many animals who are more then capable to help the Tree Of Life to shake of Yassain once and for all. Darkness laid upon the valley as the cool weather swept across the lands. Snow falling ever so slowly fell onto the ground, covering those who have died, the green land quickly turned white as the winter battle grows, no greenery anywhere and the smell of dead animals didn't help the allies, the stench of all the troops and innocent animals who now lay to rest in the rough hard substance.

Waking up Kion tries to not over think what the next week will be, though he can't get passed the fact that blood will be spilt, death will fall on both prides and maybe even loose another one he loves but if he tells them to stand down they won't, there till the end Kion's family won't give up till Yassain is finally defeated and hopefully that can cause a chain reaction, the other enemies can back down and surrender. Following suit Rani and the others woke in the tree, a cold breeze managed to sneak through the icy cold vines that was there to separate them from the rest of the world, seeing his family waking in the amidst Kion got up and walked out, following close behind shivering as the sun begins it's way up, Kion and Simba walked around the lands waking everyone up, getting ready to stand and walk and attack. Without hesitation one by one all two thousand animals woke at the sound of the horn that was blown by Makini, the horn echoed throughout the lands as it signals another day of suffering and pain. This will be a memorable day as two prides go head to head in battle, one is the head of the snake and the other is the heart, the soul and the source, good vs evil. Not only bloodshed among the African lands but also reunited with family, not knowing but they need to past a village known as the Vrede Village, Surak was based at this small part of Africa recovering from an injury he only just remembered, now he can remember and stat the exact incident in detail.

Surak was taken to a secret place and was beaten, brutally pushed, kicked and bitten, tossed around and clawed, trying to gauge his eyes out and break every bone in his body, luckily Surak was string at first and was able to be defeated with only six broken bones and bruises, cuts and of course a head concussion, loosing thirty percent of his blood Surak was very lucky to be alive, against all odds, middle of winter and war, nearly killed and left to die if it wasn't for Fianna Surak will be laid at rest and his body would of been found frozen and maybe even just bone, food was a big problem, with Yassain killing most of them and taking it for himself and his pride food stock was low, it was a privilege to even find anything. But fortunate with the Tree Of Life basing plenty of food, warmth and resources to last a whole year. Taking in the injured and those who escaped and to find help safety and to even fight in the war.

In formation two thousand lions and animals lined up in front of the tree to hear one final message before heading off into another day of war. Standing side by side Kion and Rani announce the plans and give advice, will and strength needed to finally end this war. " WE AS A NATION, A PRIDE, WE ARE NOW ONE... A FAMILY, PUT ASIDE YOUR THOUGHTS AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, OUR HEARTS IS TELLING US TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO HAVE PEACE IN OUR LANDS, EQUALITY AND TO KEEP THE CIRCLE OF LIFE IN BALANCE, TO STAND AS ONE AND FIGHT ON, YASSAIN IS A COWARD, HE USES HIS SO CALLED PRIDE TO GET HIS OWN WAY, WE ARE NOT COWARDS, WE ARE THE TREE OF LIFE, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND AS ONE WE WILL FIGHT WIN BE VICTORIOUS,  THINK OF THOSE WHO DIED, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, FIGHT FOR THEM, AVENGE THEM AND DON'T LET YOUR DARKNESS HOLD YOU BACK, YOU'LL MAKE US PROUD, THEM PROUD AND THE GREAT KINGS, QUEENS AND WARRIORS UP THERE, YOU'LL MAKE YOURSELF PROUD" Words of wisdom spoke out of Kion's mouth but it truly came from the elders, speaking down and believing in Kion and his army.
"Now the plan is to have three teams, fist, second and third lines of attack, we'll have a defensive team that'll protect team three get through and to Yassain himself, that'll be me, Rani, Nala, Simba and Kovu, the Day and Night Pride will be the rescuers, the third team will consist of two hundred lions lead by the Lion Guard and Hyena Resistance, these will come as back up for team one, team four and five will attack from the south end and come in from behind, team six and seven will be the eyes in the sky and hold of their attack, also to drop rocks, anything to confuse them and distract them, team two will be made up of army, the monkeys and birds, this team will have spears and bow and arrows, you'll throw from a far and try and hit the enemy, half of you will be throwing spears with fire and block off any exits in and out, now one leaves", Kion yells out orders as everyone gets ready, all hyped and ready to fight, they have confidence and belief to defeat Yassain, no doubt that there is a lot of fear but the adrenaline was pumping everywhere so no once showed it," The Force Of Fire will fall to it's knees and will be defeated, peace will rise again, IT ENDS HERE AND IT ENDS NOW!"
