Giza: hope that we will find someplace to live. Aihatu: at least until our cubs are born. Giza: they will be the beginning of a pride, our pride. Giza catches something in the corner of his eye. When he turns around he sees nothing, just the endless plains. Aihatu: what is it? Giza: I thought I saw something. An extremely strange voice comes from nowhere. Voice: impressive not many creatures notice that. Both Aihatu and Giza looses their breath when they see the owner of the voice, the creature before them is built like a lioness, but is spotted like a leopard, and it's snake like eyes peering on them. Aihatu: who...what the hell are you supposed to be? Creature: the best description I ever got was spotted snake-eyed... creature, I don't know how this would help you, but I am Dix. Aihatu: not the Dix that eat souls? Dix: yes that Dix. Aihatu: GIZA... RUN!!! The both lions run as fast as they can to get away from the evil creature, they hears its laughter echo in their ears. Dix: just run you pathetic worms; I Dix will come for your souls. Ha hahaha. The lion's keeps running for a long time, they stop after a while to catch their breath. Giza: [gasping for air] what...the hell was that? Aihatu: it...was Dix, the demon. Giza: how do you know her, err, it? Aihatu: I don't know her personally, but Zinagi told me about the demons, and she mentioned Dix. Giza: by the tone of your voice, I guess that we are lucky to be alive... Dix's voice once again fills the air. Dix: oh no, my dear, the hunt has just begun, don't disappoint us. Giza: you and who else? A little skinny form appears out of thin air. Thing: Dix and me [realizes that he is visible] oh crap. Dix: Dunsj, how many times have I told you not to... hey you two, stop. Giza: not on your life. The lions run away. Dix: damn it, it's your fault if they get away. It was to late, because the lions were already to far away, Dix also becomes visible, and she slaps Dunsj in his face. Dix: you failed again, we were so close to get a meal, and you, not-too-bright ruin it all. Dunsj: sorry mom, it was just that thought in my head... Dix: Haven't I told you NOT to think while hunting? And don't "mom" me. Dunsj: but mom... She slaps him hard and his little body is sent on a flight. Dunsj: sorry Dix... Dix: that's better, now we have to start all over again. The both creatures go invisible. Dix: now, let's go get those souls. Dunsj: yeah... This time Giza and Aihatu didn't bother to stop; they kept running until late at night, neither could move an inch further. They had a short sleep, (approx three hours) When the sun went up, so did they, Aihatu: is she gone? Giza: I don't know, but I hope so. Aihatu: yeah me to, and another thing, how can a demon get an offspring? Giza: how could I know, anyway, I think we should stay here too long. Aihatu: I suggest that we leave right now, LOOK OUT! Giza turns around and sees Dunsj jumping at him, Giza just move aside, and the creature falls flop on the ground, Giza quickly places his paw on it, pinning it to the ground. Dunsj: aw, let me go, you ****** Giza: t-t-t it's me who has the upper hand, and with you around, then Dix should be nearby. Dix's voice fills his ears. Dix: let my son go, lion. Giza: gimme a good reason. He flexes his claws and put one of them over Dunsj's throat. Dunsj: I think he means it, mom. Dix: I warn you, let my son go. Giza: only if you promise not to eat us, and lead us to the nearest pride. The demon thinks for a moment. Dix: all right, you have a deal, I won't eat you, now let him free Giza let go of Dunsj, who instead of going to Dix, hides behind Aihatu. The demons eyes burns with anger. Dix: Dunsj, come here! Dunsj: no...you will only hurt me. Dix: DUNSJ!!! COME HERE AT ONCE! The little creature goes with slow steps towards his mother, her snake eyes follows each step he take, when he finally stands before her, she slaps him really hard. Dix: [to Dunsj] you little idiot, how many times have I said that you have to remain invisible until you have the grip of the victims soul? Dix slaps him again. Dix: it's your fault that we have to starve... again. Giza: when you two finished your little...talk, can you please lead us to the nearest pride? Dix: [very angry] yes...follow me. Dix leads them all the day; late at night they reach a small cave. Dix: well, you two wont get any longer today, you can rest safely here. Giza: don't mind if we hunt first? Dix: no... Giza and Aihatu returns a while later with a wildebeest. Giza: you and your son can have a piece too, if you want. Dix: unfurtunate we cannot eat meat. Aihatu: why not? Dix: [annoyed] I'll show you... She takes a bite of the meat and swallows it, a second later, it falls from her belly to the ground. Dix: that's why... Aihatu: I'm sorry... I didn't know... Dix gives her an angry gaze and goes away. Dunsj: excuse her; she's always like that when she's hungry. He turns around and starts to walk away. Giza: wait, Dunsj! Dunsj: yes? Giza: I've been wondering a thing. Dunsj: spit it out. Giza: how can a demon get an offspring? Dunsj: you got me, I don't know, but I think she told me of my father ten years ago... Aihatu: TEN YEARS??? How old are you? Dunsj: I'm not keeping the count; I stopped when I reached thirty. Giza: you look like a three month old cub... Aihatu: and your mother looks like she's around two or three years. Dunsj: I never though of it, but let's talk about something else, where do you two come from? Giza: I come from the pride lands... Aihatu: and I come from the death lands. Dunsj: never heard of it...wait a minute, Dix told me that my father came from the pride lands, hah, we could be relatives. Giza: that would be very far relatives. Dunsj: yah, you're right, well, I'll better find mom before she does something nasty, see you later. Giza: yeah, bye. Dunsj disappears in the same direction that his mother went, Giza and Aihatu quickly falls asleep. Next morning. Giza lies and sleeps, until awakened by Aihatu. Aihatu: wake up, it's already late noon. Giza: I'm up. He stretches and yawns. Giza: well, where is that Dix? She should show us the way. Aihatu: Dix is gone, but she left Dunsj here to lead us. He looks around, but can't see the creature. Giza: where is he? Aihatu: he says that he is practicing, oh there he is. Giza: good morning Dunsj. Dunsj mumbles. Dunsj: and why should it be good. Aihatu: a top of the day to you too, had a bad night? Dunsj: like all nights, nightmares. Giza: anyway, where is Dix? Dunsj: I think she went to the volcano. Aihatu: excuse me? What volcano? Dunsj: the volcano, it's just an old volcano nothing special about it, she always goes there once in a while, and as usual I have to stay here. Aihatu: and are boring your self to death? Dunsj: yes, I tried some invisibility, but failed, and since Dix won't be back today, I suggest that we depart at once. Giza: good idea. Dunsj leads them until the sun reaches its zenith; they lie basking in the shadow of some trees, and have a little conversation. Giza: so, how is it to be a half-demon? Dunsj: it's quite boring, I don't have anyone to talk to, and Dix is always mean to me. Aihatu: why don't you just leave her then? Dunsj: good question, let me ask you one, what do you call 16 eyes, 32 legs and 8 tails? Aihatu: what kind of question is that? Dunsj: look behind you, there is the answer. Aihatu and Giza turns around and sees eight lionesses that somehow surrounded them, one of them, apparently the leader steps forward, Giza recognizes her at once. Giza: Zira? The leader looks confused on him. Leader: no I'm not Zira, I am Fahzik, her twin sister, and why are you trespassing on our lands? Giza: we were looking for the pride that lives here. Fahzik: you found 'em, what do you want... She sees Dunsj, and screams. Fahzik: LOOK OUT, DUNSJ!!! All lionesses seek shelter behind a nearby hill. Fahzik: what are you standing there for, get out of there; Dix got to be near by. Giza: believe me, Dix is not around. Lioness: how can you be so sure? Giza: well, ask him [points at Dunsj] Fahzik: no, he will only eat my soul. Lioness: I think it's best to get the hell out of here, and that's quick. Fahzik: you're damned right, you two, follow us, and take that vile creature with you. Aihatu picks Dunsj up in her mouth and carries her away with the lionesses. Chapter VIII The new pride Dunsj, Giza and Aihatu were brought out of Dix's territory, and into a land of vast savannah. Fahzik makes some sort of chipping sound, and at once a few more lionesses and cubs appear, she also orders some to guard Dunsj. Fahzik: I didn't catch your names. Aihatu: I am Aihatu. Giza: and I am Giza. Fahzik: Giza, let's see, I've heard that name before, Slodia, come here. A black panther emerges from the shadows, and walks to Fahzik. Slodia: yes? Fahzik: have you heard the name Giza before? Slodia: Giza is the son of Kovu and Kiara, the rulers of the pride lands... Fahzik: wasn't that poor guy covered in shroud? Giza: I was, but not any longer. Fahzik: if you are who you claim to be, then you must be Zira's grandson. Slodia, can you tell if this lion is lying or not? The panther look Giza deep in the eyes, after a while she goes back to Fahzik and smiles. Slodia: he is in deed Giza the shadow, [she sees Dunsj] and what the ***** is that demon spawn doing here? Fahzik: he is our captive, as long as we have him, Dix won't harm us. Slodia: very logically. Fahzik: I know, well, I never got where you came from Aihatu? Aihatu: I was a member of the death pride. Fahzik: the death pride? Who was their king? Aihatu: they had a queen, Marhiza. Fahzik's face lit up. Fahzik: then they are alive... Giza: who? Fahzik: my children, Marhiza, Azouka, Zinagi and Mituka... Aihatu: I don't remember any Mituka there... Fahzik turns sad. Fahzik: then she must be dead; the four of them swore to always be together. Giza: I'm sorry... Fahzik: you don't have to. It's the way of the circle. Aihatu whispers something in Giza's ear. Giza: oh, I almost forgot, the main reason we are here is to join a pride... Fahzik: then you are quite welcome, we need a male around here, do you accept the offer? A&G: yes we do. Random L: then welcome in the Rim pride. Fahzik points for Giza to follow her, she takes him to a waterhole nearby. Fahzik: you probably wonder why I brought you here. Giza: yeah, I do. Fahzik: it was here I ascended the throne as queen; it was here where my Umeme died. Giza: how did he die? Fahzik: one name, Dix. Giza: poor him, end up as demon snack. Fahzik: now let's not be sentimental, you said that you came from the pride lands, right? Giza nods. Fahzik: do you know anything about Zira? Giza: all I've been told about her, was that she was wicked and evil, and that's she is dead. Fahzik: poor Zira, she was once a good creature, without an ounce of evil in her body, I don't know why or how she turned to be evil, but there is another reason for bringing you here. Giza: and that is? Fahzik: I'm not getting any younger, and I am pretty old. Giza: and? I don't see your point. Fahzik: I am asking you to take over the throne. Giza drops his jaw. Giza: what are you saying? Fahzik: I want you to be the next king here. Do you accept? Giza: yes I do! Fahzik: then long live King Giza and Queen Aihatu; there is one thing that you should know as King. Giza: and that is? Fahzik: the only way out of here goes through Dix's land. Giza: aren't there other ways? Fahzik: the great desert surrounds us on the remaining sides; anyway let's pronounce this to the pride. Giza: yeah... The lionesses is surprised by the sudden change of power... Lioness: you can't be serious, hand over the throne to a total stranger? Fahzik: I know what I do, sister, and this is the right thing to do. Lioness: it was your decision not mine [she turns and faces Giza] what are your first orders, my King? Giza: just proceed as normal. Lioness: all right! Giza: and let Dunsj free, he is harmless. Lioness: ok, girls you heard him, let him go. The lionesses stepped aside and let Dunsj free. Dunsj: about time, boy mothers going to be mad... A long silence follows, until Dix broke it. Dix: you are so right my son. All Lionesses: DIX...RUN!!! All the lionesses disappear. Dix: as famous as always, come on Dunsj, you don't belong around those mortals. Dunsj: yes Dix. Dix: let's see witch one to start with? Giza: no one Dix, leave our lands at once, and do never return. Dix: nothings ever stopped me, why should you be so different? Giza: Go, and take your offspring with you. Dix: hmm...that sounded like a threat, let me see, what did I do to the last person that threatened me? I KILLED HIM!!! Giza: this is your last chance Dix, take your cub and disappear. Dix: Ok, I'll go, I'm on my kind side today, but do not think it's over, I will return whenever you least expect it. Both the demons goes invisible, footprints in the dirt tell that two creatures walk over it. When Dix is gone, the lionesses come out from their shelters. Lioness: is she gone? Giza: I hope so. Lioness: hope she'll stay away. Aihatu: Giza, now when we have our own pride, then you'll better inform your parents. Lioness: how on earth had you thought to get through Dix? Fahzik: don't forget the desert, sister. Lioness: THE DESERT? ARE YOU MAD??? Fahzik: no one ever tested it, my King; I volunteer to be the messenger. Giza: so be it, when will you depart? Fahzik: tonight. Giza: all right, tonight it is. The day passes on, and at nightfall, Fahzik departs. Chapter IX The lessons Almost at the same time, somewhere else, near a dead volcano, Dix and Dunsj heads right towards it. Dix: now remember, the other demons and evil things there wont hurt you, because you are a half-demon. Dunsj: all right mom. Dix: and don't call me "mom" call me Dix. Dunsj: ok Dix. Dix: and keep your mouth shut all the time. Dunsj nods. Dix: that's my boy. Two ugly flying things lands in front of them, they almost look like birds. Creature: greetings Dix. Dix: greetings to you too. Creature: who's that little guy there, your lunch? The creatures burst into a hysterical laughter. Dix tries to overcome them. Dix: no, he's my student. Creature: ok... Dix: is there some news I haven't heard yet? Creature: yeah, we found a corpse floating around in the river, and guess what? It belonged to no less that Zira. Dix: cool, the second most evil non-demon that ever lived. Creature: and we will try to wake her form the eternal sleep, but we need your help to do that. Dix: I'm on it; I'll come as soon as I have introduced this guy to some friends. Creature: good, we'll be at the river. The two "things" fly away. Dix turns to Dunsj. Dix: good, you kept your mouth shut, and if you don't know what they were, then I can tell you that they where Khako demons, now follow me. Dix took Dunsj up in the crater of the volcano, they walked across the scorched surface surrounded by the foul stench of sulphur, after a while they came to a pile of skulls, Dunsj though that he could see something move around the pile. Suddenly a spirit floated in front of them. Spirit: Good day Dix, since when did you start to bring lunch? Dix: I don't eat my students, stupid. Spirit: student? Isn't he a little too young for that? Dix: not if he is over thirty. Spirit: oh, I see, well I am the spirit of Okhobe the wicked. Dix: and he is Dunsj. Okhobe: I'll think we will meet in the future, Dunsj, if you excuse me. The spirit disappeared. Dix: now you will meet one of the most skilful of all demons, Kr'hoz. They went through more sulphur clouds, and went past a huge green crystal that stood on the ground, in a little sub-crater they found something, not bigger that a kitten, sit and watch the lava through a hole in the ground, without turning around, the creature said: Creature: Isn't it Dix I can feel? Dix: it sure is, Kr'hoz. Creature: but I don't recognize the other... blood of your blood? Is that true Dix? Dix: yes it is, he is my son, Dunsj. She points for Dunsj to go down to the "kitten", he sat down at the hole and felt the hot air emerging from it. Kr'hoz: don't be afraid of it, it is only oxygen. Dunsj: do you mind if I ask you what you do? Kr'hoz: no not at all, I am watching the lava flow. Dunsj looks again, and sees all the bubbles that explode. Dunsj: looks incredible boring to me... Kr'hoz: it maybe is for the impatient, if you looked longer you should see the complexity of the flow, and realize that nothing can stand in its way, now I need to be alone. Dunsj walks up from the crater, and goes with Dix. Dunsj: I expected him to be much larger that that... Dix: some times size do not matter, Dunsj, but let's hurry; we have a resurrection to do. They went down to the river, which almost only contained mud and obstacles; there they met the Khako demons, gathered around a half-rotten corpse. Khako D.: there you are, let's begin. Dunsj found himself a comfortable place to witness the whole thing. The demons started to spell different spells, and paint symbols on the corpse, and in front of Dunsj's eyes he could see the flesh become fresher until it was as if it lived, the corpse began to breathe, and suddenly it opened up it's eyes, and rather dislocated it said: Zira: were am I? Khako D.: you are back among the living, Zira. Zira: WHY DID YOU BRING ME BACK? I WAS HAPPY THERE I WAS... Dix: if the living doesn't suit you, then we can kill you again... Zira: no, not again, who are you? Dix: I am Dix, the demon, and you are Zira. Zira: just let me out of here. Khako D.: as you wish. A black cloud surrounded Zira and blew away, and with a loud bang Zira was gone. Dix: where did you send her? Khako D.: to some place called the death lands. Dix: a perfect place, come on Dunsj, there is more to see. Chapter X The resurrected. Somewhere in the death lands, Zira was emerging out of the black cloud, and spoke to herself Zira: why couldn't they let me be where I was? She notices that something moves in the corner of her eye, when she turns around she sees a charging lioness, before she can react she is given a hug. Lioness: Mother? What are you doing here? Zira: do I know you? Lioness: don't be ridiculous, I am Marhiza, your daughter! Zira: you're not my daughter, I never heard of you. Marhiza: no? Then who are you? Zira: I am Z... A black lioness sees her and comes towards them yelling: B. Lioness: MOTHER! What are you doing here? This was enough for her. Zira: I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER; WHO DO YOU TAKE ME FOR??? Marhiza: we take you for Fahzik, our mother. Zira: Fahzik? Of the rim pride? Azouka: yes... Zira: she's my sister, is she still alive? Marhiza: she was two years ago... Azouka: then you must be... Zira: ...Zira, queen of the outlands. Marhiza: I heard that you were dead... Zira: some says that Elvis lives... Azouka: who's Elvis? Zira: I don't know, I heard it once, so you two are Fahzik's daughters? Marhiza: yeah, we are... Azouka: but two are missing, Zinagi have left us, and Mituka is dead. Zira: it would be hard for her to hear that, and who are you? Pointing at Azouka: Azouka: I am Azouka. Zira: aha, well, I'll better go tell her... Azouka: nah, you don't even know where we are. I'll lead you. Marhiza shacked her head: Marhiza: you? Lead? You can't even find an elephant if it stood in front of you, wait here, I'll go get the rest of the pride. She disappears and returns after a while with the entire Death Pride. Zira and Azouka looked on her. Marhiza: just in case we met some hostiles, let's go. Meantime somewhere at the southwestern border of the pride lands, Fahzik walks, or rather stumbles, she made it through the desert, and suddenly a group of lionesses spot her. Lioness: who are you? And what are you... ZIRA??? The lioness's spin around and runs towards the pride rock. Fahzik: no wait; I'm not... damn it, now I'll have to find a waterhole on my own. The lionesses find Kovu and Kiara basking in the sun. Kovu: why such a hurry? Lioness: come quick, Zira is back... Kiara: impossible, she's dead, no one could survive such a fall... Lioness: obvisly she did, and now she's back. Kovu: where is she? Lioness: follow me... The lionesses led Kovu to where they saw Fahzik, but she wasn't there, they quickly picked up her scent, and found her at a small waterhole. Kovu: Zira? Fahzik: no I'm not Zira. Kovu: if you aren't Zira, then who are you? Fahzik: I am Fahzik, previous Queen of the Rim pride... Kovu: never heard of it, how can I be sure that you are not lying? Fahzik: because I tell the truth... Kiara: I don't believe you... Kovu: me neither, Zira. Fahzik: I am not my sister. Kiara: your sister? Fahzik: yeah, Zira... Kovu: I still don't believe you, Zira, leave our land at once... Fahzik: but... Kiara: go now, or do you want them to convince you? She points at the lionesses. Fahzik: no, I'll go... Kovu: and if we find you here tomorrow, you're dead. The pride Landers goes back home, leaving Fahzik alone; she makes it to the Outlands: Fahzik: you got to be unpopular around here sister. Chapter XI A big mistake. It was late at night when Zira and the death Landers reached the border; since they were tired they decided to continue tomorrow. Next day: The death pride caught some unfortunate creature and ate it, Marhiza noticed that a bird started to circle around them, Zira recognized the bird as Zazu. Zira: that bird up there. Marhiza: what about it? Zira: it's the Kings advisor. Marhiza: how can you be so sure? Zira: I once lived here, [yelling] ZAZU, COME DOWN HERE!!! The bird flew down and hovered in front of them. Zazu: Zira? How did you get here so quick? Zira: that is unimportant; just tell me who rules the pride lands? Zazu: so that you and your new pride of outcasts can attack us? Marhiza: OUTCASTS? I demand some respect, bird. Zazu: why should I even bother? Marhiza: because... you are talking to the queen of the DEATH LANDS!!! Zazu: [squawks] the Death lands!!! I'm out of here... Marhiza: no you're not. She quickly catches Zazu in midair with her paw and squeezes him. Zazu: [panicky] LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!! Zira: then answer my question, [slowly] who...rules...the...pride...lands? Zazu: KING KOVU AND QUEEN KIARA!!! LET ME GO!!! Marhiza let the bird go, and he quickly flew back to the pride rock. Zira: it seems that we have to fight the pride Landers in order to get through. Azouka: no problem, all those who had been stupid enough to attack us, are now as dead as they can be... Zira: sounds good, just one thing... Marhiza: fire ahead. Zira: I want the queen. Azouka: why the Queen? Zira: she's the one who killed me. Marhiza: good reason, she's all yours. Back at the pride rock, Kovu sees Zazu came in rapidly. Kovu: what news has to be so fast, Zazu? Zazu: The... death pride has invaded us... Zira was with them... Kovu: ZIRA??? But she was in the opposite side yesterday... Zazu: Anyhow, we can't stand a chance against them... Kiara: but, we can make them turn around... Zazu: do you really think that they listen to reason? Kovu: it's worth a try... At the same time, Marhiza stood on the top of an large boulder, surveying the coming battlefield, she finally sees what she waited for, the pride Landers. Marhiza: ah, there they are, Azouka; I want you and some lionesses to sneak to their den and kidnap their cubs. Azouka: a blow where it hurts most? All right, you, you and you, come with me. Selected L.: were right behind you. Azouka leads the little group around the pride Landers and towards the pride rock. Zazu flies over Marhizas head. Marhiza: come back here you butterfly, come and feel the wrath of my claws. Zazu: no thanks, Marhiza; turn back, if you don't want to die. Marhiza: listen you tiny insect, I also have demands, let me, and my pride go through your lands without resistance, or you will suffer a blow where it hurts most, go tell your little king that. Zazu flies back to Kovu and tells him of Marhizas demands. Kovu: why should she go through here? And what do she mean with "a blow where it hurts most? Kiara realizes something. Kiara: oh my god, the cubs, Haffi, come with me. Hafifu: sure mom. Kiara and Hafifu ran back to the den, to their relief all cubs where still there. Kiara: phew, there still here. Hafifu: one of us better stay here and guard. Kiara: fine, you do that. Hafifu: ok mom, and... take care of your self out there. Kiara: I promise. Kiara runs back to her pride, the cubs are somewhat confused. Hafifu: all right cubs, go into the den, it's much safer there. Cub 1: Haffi, what's happening? Cub 2: where's mom? Hafifu: just go into the den, I will explain later... Suddenly he hears a voice that he never heard before, he turns around and sees Azouka and her little force: Azouka: ...and later will be an eternity. Hafifu: who are you? Azouka: what does it matter, big boy? Step aside if you don't want to die. Hafifu: no, if you want the cubs you have to go through me. Azouka: aw, I'll think that I would stop at half... Lioness: Azouka! We have a job to do. You can mate later. Azouka: yeah, sorry boy, we could have made a nice couple... And with a swift swing with her paw she sliced Hafifu's throat, and the cubs saw with fear as their guardian fell dead to the ground. Azouka: too bad, hunk, well, go get those cubs. All four cubs where taken out of the pride lands. The battle had not yet begun, the two sides stood and waited for the signal. It looked like it was going to be a bloodbath when Fahzik ran in between them: Fahzik: what are you doing? Kovu stands like a question mark: Kovu: TWO ZIRA'S??? Zira: Fahzik? Marhiza: mother? Fahzik: w...what are you doing here, Marhiza? And you Zira, I thought you were dead. Kovu: for crying out loud, what is going on here? Marhiza: out of your business [turns back to Fahzik] we came looking for you, what are you doing here? The pride Landers look confused on each other... Kiara: what is this? Kovu: are you not going to fight? Zira: ah, piss off Kovu. Marhiza: yeah, we are having a family meeting here, so dissap, you moron. Kiara: in that case you can GET THE HELL OUT OFF HERE!!! Marhiza: ok, we don't have to fight now. We will withdraw. Marhiza takes her pride; Zira and Fahzik out of the pride lands, well outside they meet up with Azouka. Marhiza saw the cubs, which shivered in fear. Marhiza: well, well, I'd give all I had to see their faces now. Azouka: yeah, when they see the guardian having a bath in his own blood, and the non-presence of their cubs [giggles] Fahzik: a blow where it hurts most... Zira: and hurt it will... Marhiza: I don't think we will be too popular around here... Azouka: nope, well, what are we going to do with all those fur balls? The cubs shacked even more. Marhiza: assimilate them; we can always need some extra members. Fahzik: Marhiza? Where is Zinagi? Marhiza: oh, she left us... Fahzik: but I thought that you swore to always would be together, and what happened to Mituka? Marhiza: The former king of the pride lands killed Mituka; we found him and executed him... Zira: you killed Simba? Azouka: yeah, and enjoyed it. Zira: my revenge has finally come true [evil laughter] YES!!! When she had finished laughing Fahzik said: Fahzik: good to hear that, but if you didn't die in that river... Zira: I died when Kiara threw me off that cliff, but some morons somewhere woke me up again. Fahzik: it didn't happen to be a spotted lioness did it? Zira: yes, yes it was... Fahzik: and with snake-like eyes? Zira: yes... Fahzik: Dix... Zira: who? Marhiza: Dix...the demon? Fahzik: yes Dix, one of the most evil kind of demons... Marhiza: I met her once, and that was enough for a whole lifetime. Zira: oh...I see... Marhiza: anyhow, let's go home. Epilogue: At the pride rock a roar of sorrow emerged, Kovu and all the pride Landers swore that the death Landers forever should be their enemies; they never knew what happened to Giza.
