Kopa led them to the river that flowed through a deep canyon. "So, what do you want to do?" He asked. Vitani laughed, "Hey, thats my line!" Kopa laughed as well, "Normaly, but I'm out of ideas." Vitani thought for a moment, "Well i liked your hide-n-seek idea." she sugested. Kopa sighed, "Fine, but your it first!" and he took off. Vitani sat down and started counting, "1...2...3..." Suddenly she heard movement behind her, "Mom, do we have to do this?" From behind a large rock, Zira walked out of the shadows. She took one look around before she said, "Vitani! don't let your childish friendship cloud your thoughts. This must be done, Simba must pay." Vitani looked away from her mother. She silently resented her mother for holding this grudge for so long. "No... please mother, not him." Zira looked taken aback, "How dare you question me!" Zira raised her claws to swipe when she heard Kopa shout, "I dont here you counting!" Zira hunched down. "Vitani, you wont stop me. I must avenge him." With that Zira crept into the tall grass. Vitani felt horrible, what would she do? Could she betray her own mother? Or would she allow her to kill her only friend? Vitani thought for a wile before running after her mother.
Kopa laughed to himself, she would never find him up in the tree. He felt so shure that he even decided to doze off. He had only slept for a few minuets before he herd a branch break. He opened one eye to see something moving in the grass. Kopa closed his eye and tucked tighter into the tree until, "Kopa! Look out!" Kopa instinctly rolled over to get out of the way, sadly he forgot he was in a tree. He hit the ground and looked up to see a large lioness standing over him, "Well hello, Prince Kopa." Vitani ran between Kopa and the other lioness. She crouched into a defencive stance, "NO! Leave him alone!" she shouted. Kopa stood and jumped next to Vitani, "Yea," he said, "Don't make us hurt you!" The lioness smiled, "Oh dear, I wouldn't want that now would I?" Kopa felt chills run down his spine, something about her made him scaird. Vitani moved infront of Kopa, "No Kopa, run, she wants to kill you!" she said. Kopa looked back between the lioness and Vitani. "Your her mother! Vitani, what's going on?" Kopa backed away. Vitani never took her eyes off her mother, "She wants revenge for Scar's death. She wanted me to lead you away from everyone else so she could... she..." Vitani Started to cry, "So she could kill you. Kopa, she's going to kill you. RUN ALREADY!" Vitani jumped at Zira. Zira expected this and jumped to the side. Vitani reached out and gouged the corner of Zira's ear. Blood trickled down her face as Zira swiped Vitani away. Kopa turnned and ran, but he saw vitani hit the tree he was hiding in and fall to the ground, she didn't move. "Vitani!" He cried as he ran through the tall grass. "Yes! Run little prince, that makes it all the more fun." Zira called after him.
Simba had just returned to Pride Rock when he herd Kopa shout, "Vitani!" Simba looked out to the feilds where he herd the voice when Nala came up behind him. "Did you here that?" she asked. Simba nodded, "Do we know any Vitani?" Nala opened her mouth to respond when they both herd "DAD!" Without speaking both jumped down and ran to help Kopa.
Kopa ran faster than he has ever before. "DAD!" he shouted. Zira laughed behind him, "No one can here you little prince! Your father can't help you now!" Kopa cried louder, "DAD! Help me please!" Kopa broke out of the grass line to see a cliff. He had ran into a bend in the river and was trapped. Zira slowly walked out of the grass, "Well, well ,well. What do we have here?" Kopa hunched down, "l-l-leave me a-a-lone." he said, shaking with fear. "Oh, how little you know." Kopa felt trapped, "DAD!" he shouted agian, "DAD! HELP M-" Zira laughed, "You really think he'll help you? He can't even here you." Kopa felt determend to prove her wrong, "DAAAAAD!" he shouted, this time roaring slightly. "Oh, growing up are we?" Zira mocked, "Too bad you wo-" Zira stopped and lifted her ear. "KOPA! KOPA WHERE ARE YOU?" Kopa felt releaved, "DAD! OVER HERE" Zira looked at Kopa with pure hatred, "NO! He wont stop me this time!" Zira ran at Kopa and drug her claws through his fur. Kopa screamed out in pain and was flung closer to the cliff. "KOPA!" both Simba and Nala shouted. Kopa lifted his head weakly, "Dad, hurry." he strained to look up at Zira who had raised her paw for another strike. "Nala get the others!" Simba shouted as he jumped out of the grass. "Dad!" Kopa shouted weakly as Zira swiped at him for the last time. Kopa's body flew over the cliff. "NO!" Simba shouted and slammed Zira out of the way. Kopa mannaged to find a grip on the cliff, Simba was inches away When Kopa's grip gave out and he fell into the rushing water below. "KOPA!" Simba cried. Zira laughed, "I couldn't have planned this better my self. The great king of the Pride Lands watched his son die! Scar has been avenged!" Simba turnned to Zira with so much rage and hate in his eyes Zira was unsettled. "HOW DARE YOU!" Simba shouted. He waisted no time and jumped on Zira. Zira laughed as they fought, only adding to Simba's rage. Finally Simba had pinned Zira and raised his paw to deliver the final blow when Vitani jumped onto her mother, "NO! STOP!" she shouted fearing to not be herd, "Please stop!" Simba hesetated. "Simba!" shouted Nala from the feild, "Simba were here!" Suddenly, seven lionesses jumped out from the grass and formed a circle around the king and Zira. "Would you take away her mother Simba?" mocked Zira. Simba lowered his paw and jumped away from her, "No, Zira. Unlike you and your family, I'm not a killer. You however, will be punished." Simba paced, thinking of the worst punishment possible. "You and your cubs are banished from the Pride Lands. If I ever catch you here agian I'll-" Simba stopped as Zira stood laughing, "Oh Simba, you have much to learn. These lands are not your to keep me from, I'll be back." with that she turnned and left. Once
