Sally's heart stopped. She leapt down the cliff after Zira and landed on a ledge. She looked over and saw Zira holding on desperately.
Sally - Mother! Hold on!
Sally lowered her paw down.
Sally - Mother, grab my paw!
But it was too late. As Zira began to lift one of her paws to grab Sally's paw she slipped and fell. Sally watched in horror as her mother died before her eyes. She looked up into the sky, tears in her eyes.
Sally - I promise you this! I will avenge you! I will kill Kiara, Kovu, Simba and Nala and take over the pridelands! I promise that I will make you proud father, and mother...

The death of her mother was sure to make her snap. RUN EVERYONE, RUN! *hides*
