It was a horrible time in the Pridelands. There hasn't been any vegetation since Mufasa's reign. Scar was a horrible King; especially in the eyes of the lionesses. All of the herds have moved on to find greener land. Sarabi really hated how Scar was ruling. She wished that Mufasa and Simba were still around. Scar was hoping to find a decent female to have cubs with. Since no one in his pride wanted to mate with him, he scouted for a female rogue. After hours of searching, he found a rogue lioness taking a nap near the dried up waterhole. He came up to her and admired her beauty. She woke up and asked Scar what he wanted. Scar invited her to live with his pride. He brought her back to Pride Rock.

"What's your name?" Scar asked.

"My name is Zira," Zira said.

"My name is Taka but everyone calls me Scar," Scar said.

"Why don't you want to be called Taka anymore?" Zira asked.

"A cape buffalo gave me this scar when I was a teenager," Scar said.

"Oh," Zira said.

"What about you?" Scar asked.

"I'm an only child and my mother died giving birth to me and my father was very strict on me up until I was a teenager," Zira said.

"Is your father alive still?" Scar asked.

"No," Zira said.

"How did he die?" Scar asked.

"Hyenas attacked him," Zira said.

"Both my parents died just after my brother Mufasa became King," Scar said.

"Were they loving parents?" Zira asked.

"Yes they were," Scar said.

"I wish I could've known my mother," Zira said.

"I wish that my parents lived to see my nephew Simba born," Scar said.

"I'm sure they would've loved to have met Simba," Zira said.

"I bet they would've too," Scar said.

"Is Mufasa alive?" Zira asked.

"He's been dead for about three years," Scar said.

"I'm guessing you are seven years old like Mufasa would be now if he was still alive," Zira said.

"Yeah," Scar said.

A few months later, Zira has made friends with the pride and fallen in love with Scar. They both got the urge to start their own family. As a few more weeks went by, Zira has gotten pregnant. Scar was looking forward to be getting a child. Zira liked the idea of Scar being the father of her children. She was only a couple months away from giving birth.

Two months later, Zira gave birth to a male cub. He was sickly. Scar came over to Zira and looked at the cub. He was disappointed that his heir was not what he wanted. Scar turned away in a huff and walked out of the den. Zira was heartbroken. She didn't want her son to feel unloved by his father.

"I don't care what your father says, you shall be named Nuka," Zira said.

Zira saw Nuka crawl over to her belly and started to drink from her teats. After a while, Scar came back into the den and asked Zira what the cub's name is.

"His name is Nuka," Zira said.

"Good name for a failure since it means stink," Scar snapped.

The pride soon gathered around to look at the young Nuka. Sarabi couldn't believe the selfishness of Scar. It was his son; his father and Mufasa would not like to see him cast aside a cub just because he was born sickly. Zira was not liking the way Scar was being with Nuka since he was just a baby. As the months went by, Nuka has gotten stronger and his chances for survival have gotten more likely. Zira had recently decided to find a rogue male to hopefully get a healthier male for Scar to choose for his heir since Nuka wasn't good enough for him. Nuka was now nine months old. Zira found out that she was pregnant. It would only be about three months until she would give birth again.

A few months later, Zira gave birth to a set of twins this time. Scar walked over to Zira and admired the cubs. He called Nuka over to meet the newborns. He wondered if they were male. Zira said that one was a male and the other was female.

"They're beautiful," Scar said.

"They're not yours but thank you," Zira said.

"What are their names?" Nuka asked.

"Their names are Kovu and Vitani," Zira said.

"Kovu would make a fantastic heir for the kingdom," Scar said.

"I thought it should've been me since I'm your son," Nuka complained.

"You were a weakling from birth and would be unfit to rule in my place," Scar snapped.

A while later, Simba returned with Nala and a couple of friends he met while in exile. Scar went out to confront Simba. A few hours later, a fire started. Rafiki managed to get the Hyenas away from Simba. Scar tried to escape but Simba chased him to the top of Pride Rock. Simba told Scar that he should've never believed anything he said since all he told him were lies. Simba said for Scar to leave and never return. A while later, Simba and Scar were on top of Pride Rock fighting. As Scar was about to attack at Simba's throat, he was kicked off Pride Rock and was knocked unconscious for a few seconds. His former friends surrounded him. He tried to apologize but the Hyenas backed him up against the base of Pride Rock and devoured him and the fire burned the rest. A few minutes later, rain fell and put out the fire. Simba walked to the base of Pride Rock satisfied now that Scar was dead. He met up with Sarabi and Nala and gave them a nuzzle. Simba then went to the peak of Pride Rock and took his place as King. A few months later, Simba and Nala welcomed a male and a female cub into the world and Rafiki held them up for the great kings of the past to see.
