## Synopsis

The time has now come for the Night Pride and the Guard to attack the Ujina Pride, once and for all.

## Script

The Ujina Pride, the Lion Guard, and Night Pride all looked up into the sky. They saw at least hundred different birds, all of different species. It was they who had caused the fire. Rani growled. The bird began to decent. The Lion guard and Night Pride got ready to attack, however, the birds attacked the Ujina Pride.

”Stop! I command you to stop!” Kila growled.

”We don’t listen to no one!” One of the birds laughed.

”Everyone, get behind me!” Kion shouted. Everyone got behind him. The Ujina Pride ducked. Kion ushered his class into the ground, and roared. His roar hit the birds as it sent them flying far off. The Ujina Pride lifted their heads. The inhabitants of the Tree of Life, including Nirmala and Makini, came out. They all began to clap for their protectors.

”What do we do about them?” Fuli asked, looking at the Ujina Pride.

”I think I know.” Kion spoke, walking over to the Ujina Pride. Everyone followed him.

”We’re…sorry.” Askara croaked. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know there was another way.”

”Today, you have shown what you can really do.” Rani began. “And for that, I don’t think can ever let you into the Tree of Life.”

”We will leave.” Ghinjo started, as all the lionesses got up.

”Wait!” Bunga called out, as Kion walked up to them.

”If you wish to be forgiven and redeem yourself, now is the time.” Kion stated.

”It is never too late.” Besthe said.

”Yes.” Azaad nodded, as he looked at Fuli. “It doesn’t hurt to have a really good friend.”

”We are all deeply sorry.” Askara apologised, looking at the whole group. “We promise never to attack or come near your borders again.”

”If that is your choice.” Surak nodded.

“Let’s go, Pride.” Kila spoke, as the whole Pride left. Rani walked up to Kion.

”I believe I owe you an apology.” Rani looked at her. “For everything I did. I am sorry. I know saying this won’t do much, but I promise you, if there is anything that you ever need at all, I will fulfil it.”

”Thank you, Rani.” Kion smiled at her. “Friends?”

”Friends.” Rani replied.

”I am sorry too.” Goshant looked at Kion. “For…you know what.”

”I forgive you, too.” Kion smiled, as Baliyo sat next to him.

“Wait!” Ono shouted, getting everyone’s attention. “Where we not suppose to go to the Pride Lands?”

”Oh, yeah!” Baliyo nodded. Kion, Baliyo, Bunga, Binga, Fuli, Azaad, Besthe, Pumzika, Ono, Anga, Mandhari, Xolo, Farasi, Mjanja, Wavivu and Spotty (Madoa) stood at the border.

”When do you all suppose you will be back?” Surak asked.

”The journey will probably take about three to four days.” Anga spoke. “And we are going to stay in the Pride Lands for two days, so around 10 days.”

”That isn’t that long.” Rani smiled, nuzzling Baliyo. “Be back soon, everything.”. They all nodded as they began their journey. They didn’t stop that much, and they reached the Pride Lands after three and a half days. To their surprise, all of their families were there waiting for them. Azaad had a smile on his face.

”I may have told everyone to come out and wait.” Azaad smirked.

”Hey! You can’t do that!” Naba looked up at Bupu. “If Kion were here, he would say-“

”Hevi Kabisa?” Kion finished off Naba’s sentence. Naba looked at Kion, and smiled. “Kion!”

”Kion?” Kiara asked, as she and the rest of the Royal Family ran out to hug him. Kion explained everything that had happened.

“Well, welcome to the family, Baliyo.” Nadra smiled.

”Yeah, welcome!” Naba giggled.

”So how long are you all staying here?” Kovu smiled awkwardly. He didn’t know any of them well expect for Kion, somewhat.

”Only two days.” Anga replied.

”Oh.” Kiara looked down.

”Why? What’s the matter?” Kion asked.

”Well.” Nadra started. “Me and your father are expecting a new litter of cubs, soon.”

”What!” Everyone gasped.

“I thought I was the youngest?” Naba questioned. Everyone laughed as they all talked with their friends and families. At night, everyone went back to their homes. The Pride went back into the main cave, leaving Kion out on the ledge himself. Baliyo walked up to him, sitting down.

”Everything is perfect.” Kion smiled, as they both watched the stars.

Past the Mountain Pass, The cave were the Ujina Pride lived in, shouts could be heard.

”You never told us about the birds!” Kunguruma shouted at Askara, Kila and Ghinjo.

”Yeah!” Kichaa nodded her head in agreement.

”What else have you been hiding?” Nyofu snarled at Kila.

”This is our decision, if you like it or not!” Ghinjo growled.

”We should never have been exiled from the Marsh Lands!” Kila rolled her eyes.

”We are leaving for the Marsh Lands, to apologise to Queen Ajayi then-“ Askara’s words were cut off. The lionesses all looked at the three. They had all dropped to the ground. Lifeless. A gray lion and a yellow lioness stood behind them.

”And who are you?” Njema asked.

”I am Kosa, leader of the Cult of Cosmos. This is my mate, Ebel.” Kosa replied with a smirk, as Ebel nodded.

”And what do you want with us?” Kijani asked.

”I know that you know the name of your sire, Valido. He was my sire too. And for the rest of you, you are apart of this Pride. We offer you to join our pride.” Kosa explained.

”To take down the Tree of Life?” Nyofu looked at Kosa.

”Not this pathetic tree.” Kosa shook his head. “I want the Pride Lands.”

”Lead the way.” Kijani smirked. All the lionesses let out an evil laugh, as Kosa and Ebel led their newest recruits towards the Pride Lands.
