While they walk Nala, Sarabi, Sarafina and several other lionesses who are laying down under shades of healthy trees near pride rock taking naps as the other three talk with their heads lying on their paws looking at each other. Sarabi:" so where did te two do on your 'date' " she asks smiling Nala:" oh we just walked, looked at the stars te know the usual... then we talked about something and came to an agreement" Sarafina:" and what will that be if te don't mind me asking" says also smiling at her daughter Nala:" we agreed to have another cub" both Sarabi and Sarafina lifted their head surprised with proud smiles at her. Sarabi:" what gender te hoping?" Nala:" hoping any gender is fine as long it keeps both Kopa and it's self entertained" Sarafina:" any names if either gender?" Nala thinks for a minute. Nala:" if it's female it's still going to be Kiara but if male again...." she pauses trying to come up with a good name Sarabi:" what about.... Kion?" Sarafina:" ciao that's a good one" Nala thinks about it Nala:" That sounds wonderful thank you" Sarabi smiles " your welcome".
Meanwhile in the erba of the pride lands Simba and Kopa are setting up one of Simba old traps which involves a albero being held down da a medium sized rock. Simba:" ok when I wink at you, te push the rock off the tree. got it?" Kopa looks at the rock then looks at him nodding, Simba:" stay low in the erba until then so that he don't see you, I'll go get him" Kopa:" ok" he says watching his father run to get Zazu. After several minuti oh Kopa sitting and waiting in the erba he finally sees flying Zazu and his father approaching, Zazu:" if te don't mind me asking sire, but why did te bring me out here again?" Simba:" oh just to walk and chat with you, Nala, her mother and my mother are talking to each other so why not we talk to each other " says getting closer to the albero Zazu:" so where's Kopa?, I haven't seen him since we met several days ago" Simba:" he's with Nala I believe" he says making eye contact with Kopa who is low to the erba behind the tree. Zazu:" so how is he? Is he a trouble maker like te once was or?" Simba:" he hasn't gotten in trouble yet he's a good son" without Zazu knowing Simba slows down then shoots a wink at Kopa, Kopa sees and quickly pushes the rock off the albero as the albero comes back and smacks Zazu with face filled with leaves knocking him to the ground.
Kopa laughs at the results as Zazu is on the ground scowling rubbing his beak Zazu:" I've should of known something was different" he says annoyed. Simba goes to Kopa, Simba:" well done son" he giggles Kopa:" it was your plan" Simba:" yeah but te done the work". About two hours go da while the sun starts to set Simba and Kopa were still out in the erba chasing each other and gently tackling each other as the sky starts to go from empty to filled with stars in matter of minutes. Kopa jumps and tackles his father while Simba falls backwards from the force, then decided to lay down with Kopa on superiore, in alto of him and catch their breaths Kopa:" dad?" Simba looks up at Kopa on his head Kopa:" we're pals right" Simba giggles:" right" Kopa:" and we'll always be together right?" he says that as a gust of wind blows making their furs dance with the wind, Simba:" te know let me tell te something that my father told me that was told da his father... look at the stars" he looks up as Kopa looks also "the great kings of the past are up their, looking down on us from those stars" Kopa:" really?" Simba:" yes, so whenever your alone o when te ever feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide te and so will I" Kopa thought of something Kopa:" ciao dad?" Simba:" yes son?" he looks at him Kopa:" how will I know if they're guiding me o not?" Simba:" the way te know is to pay attention to your surroundings for any hints, clues, o anything that will represent a sign of something like the wind, the weather, o the clouds are examples just got to pay real close attention"
Several months went da as Nala's belly has expand from pregnancy allowing Kopa to notice as they lay in the shade of the trees successivo to pride rock deciding to take the giorno easy this time, Kopa:" ciao mom whats wrong with your stomach?" he looks up from laying his head on his paw Nala:" um" she tries to think of something to say without making it awkward for him "um it's a surprise" Kopa:" what kind of surprise?" he says with a curious tone and look Nala:" you'll have to wait and see" Kopa:" ooohhh" he moans wanting to know looking away "why can't te tell me?" he looks at her again Nala:" uh cause then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" she says smiling still laying with her head on her paws while looking at her cub Kopa:"(sighs and looks away) I guess not" with a defeated tone.
Another few weeks went da as Nala gotten to the point where she has to stay inside the cave of pride rock to prevent birth problems, while that was going on Sarafina volunteered to watch Kopa who is starting to grow in height, while Nala is down and Simba with her keeping her company as both Kopa and Sarafina take a walk through the lands. Kopa walks successivo to her Kopa:" Grandma?" he looks at her Sarafina:" yes?" she looks back Kopa:" what do te do when your not hunting o doing anything important?" Sarafina:" well sometimes I walk around the land like what we're doing now, take naps o just chat with your other grandmother" Kopa:" also where is grandpa" Sarafina bit her lip looking inoltrare, avanti not wanting to answer but has to looking at him again. Sarafina:" well, your grandfather also isn't around" Kopa:" what happen to him?" Sarafina:" um, well he was hunting when his cuore gave out on him" Kopa didn't know how to respond as they continue to walk and approach pride rock.
As they walk they hear a scream of agony and roars from pride rock, Kopa flattens his ears in fear Kopa:" what was that?" Sarafina:" I have no idea but we better hurry" she says then picking Kopa up and running pride rock. Once they reached pride rock Simba comes running out of the cave Simba:" uh...uh (looks around) Sarafina!" Sarafina sets Kopa down Sarafina:" is it Nala? is it time?" Simba:" yes, it is!" Sarafina:" ok get the rest of the lionesses" she says leaving the two there running inside. Kopa:" what's going on?" Simba:" Just stay there" he says going to the end of pride rock that is closet to the shading trees seeing his mother and other lionesses. Simba:" MOM!" he yells down Sarabi:" what is it?!" she says getting up with the lionesses looking at him Simba:" it's Nala!" he says as the group of lionesses quickly gets up and runs up the steps of pride rock and runs in Sarabi:" just stay out here with your father Kopa" she says running da him as Simba goes to him.
Kopa looks up at his father, Kopa:" dad what's going on?" Simba:" uh it's a surprise" he says trying to hide it for a little while longer. Several minuti went da as Sarabi walks out of the cave to find Simba and Kopa laying together at the edge of pride rock looking over the pride lands waiting patiently for any word o news that whatever is going on is done. Sarabi:" Simba, Kopa" she calls as both quickly hop to their Sarabi:" come see" she says as both run past her to find Nala with the newborn cub in front of her cupped in her paws and front legs with it's face hidden in the pelliccia of Nala's. Once Simba and Kopa made it to them as Kopa looks at the small new born Kopa:" so this is my surprise?" he asks Nala:" Kopa, I'd like te to meet your baby sister Kiara" she says while Simba lays down successivo to Nala.
Kopa with no emotion to his face just stares at the sleeping newborn who is now known as his sister, both Nala and Simba giggle at what they think is his reaction. Kopa:" well uh, hello Kiara" he says greeting his baby sister who then slowly opens her eyes then squints from the bright light from the sun beaming it's sunshine through the entrance of pride rock then closes her eyes again. Kopa:" Kiara te just woke up, come and play" he says to the sleeping newborn Nala:" Kopa let her rest, she'll play with te when she's ready" she says then starts licking the newborn keeping her pelliccia clean and warm. Kopa sighs then walks out of the cave while the sun sets disappearing into the horizon as the sky starts to become darker and darker until it's filled with stars. Kopa was still outside but at the edge of pride rock alone looking at the bright half full moon in the sky and the stars as Simba notices him from where he lays successivo to sleeping Nala with their newborn cub Kiara also sleeping.
Simba looks at the two successivo to him making sure they're still asleep before slowly getting up and carefully makes his way over the sleeping lionesses then out the cave. He walks towards his son, Kopa hears him and turns around to see his father Kopa:" I didn't wake te did I?" Simba:" no, I woke up and seen te still out here, so (looks from his son to the night sky then back to his son) what are te doing out here late at night?" Kopa:" I wanted to look at the stars and moon." says looking back up. Simba then yawns Simba:" ok, be sure to come in before the sun rises" he says walking back towards the cave as Kopa watches him leave then looks back at the night sky, while he was looking up someone in the shadows of Pride rock calls him over.
?" Kopa." it says whispering, Kopa looks behind him and lifts his ear trying to hear where the voice is coming from. ?:" down here" the voice says as Kopa looks down to find Zira sitting down in the shadows. Kopa:" great aunt Zira?, what are te doing down there?" Zira:" oh I was just gonna take a late night walk when I seen te sitting da your self, wanna walk with me?" Kopa:" I don't know I'm supposed to stay up here and soon sleep" Zira:" don't worry about that, if te get in trouble I'll say I told you, te can" Kopa:"umm (looks back at the cave filled with his sleeping family) a short walk wouldn't hurt" he says then running down the rocky steps and walking around to where Zira was to find her gone Kopa:" where did she go?" he says looking around finding no one.
While he was looking around Zira hides in the shadows with her claws and teeth ready as she starts to stalk the small confused cub. Meanwhile in the cave of pride rock Sarabi wakes up struggling to sleep ' maybe a short walk to the water hole and back might help me sleep', she says in her head getting up and notices Kopa wasn't where he should be in front of his mother, ' where is that cub?' she says in her head as she exits the cave and looks around not finding the cub but then hearing his voice coming from the bottom of pride rock. Sarabi looks down from pride rock to see Kopa looking around and a leonessa in the tall erba with her claws and teeth out stalking the cub, Sarabi:" kopa!" she says in fear as she quickly jumps from the superiore, in alto step of pride rock to the ground.
Zira:" this is for te Scar!" she says before pouncing at the cub of Kopa and swiping with her sharp claws, Kopa screams in fear before getting hit in the leg da one of Zira's swipes making him fall to the ground in pain Kopa:" MOM DAD HELP!" he yells from the superiore, in alto of his lungs. Zira:" they can't hear te from here te pathetic cub" she says as she claws the cub again hitting him again with her claws penetrating deep into Kopa's side possible getting an organ judging da him coughing blood as he falls to the grown from the amount of pain and weakness overfills him from the serious wounds to his side. Zira:" Scar is going to be happy to see you" she says lifting her paw again getting ready to swipe again.
Before Zira could get a chance to swipe again she gets stopped da the tackle of Sarabi, clawing, biting, everything that she could do in her power to protect Kopa, but the problem is Zira is much younger then Sarabi which means shes physically stronger. Zira pushes her off as they start to cerchio each other Sarabi" KOPA RUN!!, GO TO YOUR PARENTS!" she yells while not taking her eye off of Zira. Kopa tries his very best to get up and walk as fast as he can but as he stands massive shocks of pain shoots from his wounds and punctured organ but the pain doesn't stop him as he goes as fast as he can going up the steps with his spit turning into blood dripping from his mouth.
Kopa:" DAD!... MOM!!" he yells from outside, Simba quickly looks up from where he lays to see his son covered in blood and deep claw wounds, Simba:" KOPA!" he yells waking Nala and the lionesses up as they two see the bloody cub. Simba and Nala runs out of the cave with the lionesses behind while Sarafina stays to keep baby Kiara asleep, as they meet the cub Nala:" Kopa what happened?!" she says in a very worried tone. Kopa tries to speak but his breathing is short due to his punctured organ, Kopa:" Zira... did this... grandma with her fighting.... (points at the direction) down there" Simba:" LIONESSES FOLLOW!" he growls the command as they did as commanded and followed Simba to where Zira and Sarabi would be while Nala stays to just hope his injuries aren't life threatening.
Kopa walks several steps towards his mother before falling into the grasps of his mother's mouth as she carries Kopa panicking for Kopa's life ' what do I do? what do I do?! my son is dieing.. RAFIKI! he does stuff like this right?' she says is in her head panicking as she carries Kopa in her mouth as she jumps from the superiore, in alto of pride rock to the ground running as fast as she can to Rafiki's tree. Simba and the other lionesses finds both Zira and Sarabi, Zira who looks like she never gotten touched swipes at very weak and injured Sarabi luckily missing, Simba:" ZIRA!" he roars making Sarabi take her eye off of Zira for the one secondo giving Zira a chance to strike.
Zira uses the distraction to get her jaws around the neck of Sarabi, Sarabi:" I Amore te all" she says accepting her fate Simba:" DON'T te DE-" he gets interrupted da the sound of a snap coming from the neck of Sarabi's as Zira spits the carcass of Sarabi in front of Simba who is filled with rage, anger, sorrow, hurt, all combined into one. Zira:" te feel it Simba?!" " te feel the hatred?! te feel the hurt of losing someone te love, like when te killed Scar?!" she growls and Simba roars in anger then charges at her tackling and pinning her to the ground with a clear shot of a kill but Simba stops as Zira embraces thinking she's going to be dead but gasps in shock that she's still alive.
Zira looks up at the infuriated Simba Zira:" te want revenge don't te Simba?! well now is your chance go ahead and finish me off!" she says embracing again as Simba does nothing. Nala makes it to the albero as Rafiki climbs down to meet them, Rafiki:" ah hello young Na-..!" he says about to greet his friend but then notices the seriously injured cub of Kopa, Rafiki:" I'll take him quickly get in the tree" he says with no hesitation as he takes the cub and goes into his albero filled with medical herbs and other health related plants and fruit. Setting the injured cub in the flattest spot of the albero he examines the injury then sighs with defeat and sorrow, as Nala sitting successivo to him gets even più worried, Nala:" Well?" Rafiki:" I'm afraid that his wounds are too fatal for an attempt of heal, his lungs and liver has both been punctured" Nala:" there's got to be something!" she says as a tear of sorrow and fear falls from her eye Rafiki nods 'no' with a tear also falls " deeply unfortunately there is not, if his organ of lung and liver weren't punctured then there would of been a chance of survival but since they were he has no chance of living any longer" Rafiki puts an ear to the chest of Kopa's as he hears Kopa's heartbeat slowing down and slowly dieing until Rafiki hears the last bloody cough of Kopa's then hears nothing..., not a beat, not a puff of air, no sound o feel of a pulse.
With lumps in Nala's throat she starts to cry letting her fears, worries and sorrow roll out in tears knowing her cub, her only son is gone. Rafki:" his soul is with Mufasa and the other great kings now" he says as he also starts to cry with tears starting to flow. Back at Pride rock Simba still pinning Zira to the ground finally speaks " if te ever mostra your face o step your paws into the pridelands te will die, as of now te are banished to the outlands" Zira doesn't say anything but smiles evilly at her some what victory Simba:" I expect te gone before sunrise" Zira still doesn't say anything as Simba gets off of her and backs away with his eyes still on Zira. Zira gets up then runs away and disappears into the distance.
Simba turned around once he knows shes gone, looking at his motionless mother, Simba nudges her hoping some life is left " mother?" he nudges her again Sarabi slowly opens her eyes Sarabi:" Si...mba?" she says in a crackling voice and not moving her head. Simba:" can te get up, c-c- can te walk?!" he says getting very worried for his mother's life, Sarabi:" I....Af...aid..... i c-... an't" Simba:" uh.. here we'll carry te to Rafiki's I'm sure he knows what to do" Sarabi nods 'no' slowly Sarabi:" Sim...ba.... th...at...... wo...n't... m-make.... a difference" she says as her voice slowly becomes più clearer, Simba:" It won't unless we try, lionesses help me carry her" he commands at the mourning lionesses as they quickly come to aid in carrying the former Queen and their greatest friend and mother as they pick her up gently and as quick as they can walk towards the albero of Rafiki's.
At Rafiki's albero both Nala and Rafiki are still flowing tears from their eyes mourning at the death of the once living prince of Kopa, Nala:" (sob) I feel like smashing my head against (sob) two rocks" she says in a crying very depressed tone Rafiki:" I know it's very hard to lose someone of yours, but it's needed for us to live on, that is what he would of wanted is for us to live on and put this behind us... it's going to haunt us for the rest of our lives but think of happy things" Nala:" how am I supposed to forget the one I gave birth too?!" she says crying some più Rafiki:" we still got young Kiara" Nala:" yes but-" she gets interrupted da the roar of Simba who is carrying the carcass of Sarabi who is still hanging with life. Simba:" RAFIKI!" Rafiki qucikly swings to where he can see what's going on as he sees Simba and the lionesses carrying Sarabi.
Rafiki jumps from his albero and lands on the ground in front of the group as Nala stays in the tree, and cups her dead cub hugging him one last time as she cries some more. Rafiki:" set her down quickly" they do as he says gently setting seriously injured Sarabi down, Rafiki looks at her neck which obviously is broken but the domanda is, is her throat punctured, Rafiki:" Sarabi can te speak?" Sarabi:" Par....tially" she says as Rafiki looks at the bit marks ' it dont seem to be deep' Rafiki says in his head. Simba:" is she going to be ok?" Rafiki doesn't answer for a secondo Rafiki:" hard to say, Sarabi do te taste blood?" Sarabi:" no" Rafiki:" it just might be a broken neck then , and if I"m correct should be up and around da the successivo mese o so but until than don't sposta your head it will cause più damage to your neck and eventually your spinal cord if te do".
Simba sighs in relief then remembers about Kopa, Simba:" Rafiki, I need te to look at Kopa quickly" he says about to run back to pride rock but gets halted da Rafiki, Rafiki:" I already looked at the cub... Nala brought him and... (looks at the ground)" Simba:" is he going to be ok?! " Rafiki didn't answer o looks up as he points to his albero " see for your self" says in a depressed tone. Simba's cuore races in fear and worried as he quickly turns to Rafiki's albero then jumps in entering the albero to find Nala laying down eyes closed cupping motionless Kopa, Simba walks closer as Nala looks at him with tears flowing, Simba:" is he?!" he says hoping he's just sleeping Nala didn't answer. Simba gets closer to where is almost face to face with Nala as he leans down to put an ear to the cubs chest to hope hear a heartbeat, but hears nothing not a beat not a puff of air, when he hears nothing tears starts to rush to his eyes and flow down his face.
Months after the tragic night Kiara grown up meeting and becoming mates with a lion named Kovu not knowing any story o any hints of Kopa's precedente life, but her parents always look at the stars every night to tribute Kopa's life, Sarabi's neck did heal but when Kiara ran away after the exile of Kovu, she past away due to old age leaving Sarafina to be the last living of an old era. As life moves on and Simba and Nala grows older they never forgot the ones they loved from Mufasa to the young Kopa they remembered all and loved all.

Thank te for Leggere :^D
Meanwhile in the erba of the pride lands Simba and Kopa are setting up one of Simba old traps which involves a albero being held down da a medium sized rock. Simba:" ok when I wink at you, te push the rock off the tree. got it?" Kopa looks at the rock then looks at him nodding, Simba:" stay low in the erba until then so that he don't see you, I'll go get him" Kopa:" ok" he says watching his father run to get Zazu. After several minuti oh Kopa sitting and waiting in the erba he finally sees flying Zazu and his father approaching, Zazu:" if te don't mind me asking sire, but why did te bring me out here again?" Simba:" oh just to walk and chat with you, Nala, her mother and my mother are talking to each other so why not we talk to each other " says getting closer to the albero Zazu:" so where's Kopa?, I haven't seen him since we met several days ago" Simba:" he's with Nala I believe" he says making eye contact with Kopa who is low to the erba behind the tree. Zazu:" so how is he? Is he a trouble maker like te once was or?" Simba:" he hasn't gotten in trouble yet he's a good son" without Zazu knowing Simba slows down then shoots a wink at Kopa, Kopa sees and quickly pushes the rock off the albero as the albero comes back and smacks Zazu with face filled with leaves knocking him to the ground.
Kopa laughs at the results as Zazu is on the ground scowling rubbing his beak Zazu:" I've should of known something was different" he says annoyed. Simba goes to Kopa, Simba:" well done son" he giggles Kopa:" it was your plan" Simba:" yeah but te done the work". About two hours go da while the sun starts to set Simba and Kopa were still out in the erba chasing each other and gently tackling each other as the sky starts to go from empty to filled with stars in matter of minutes. Kopa jumps and tackles his father while Simba falls backwards from the force, then decided to lay down with Kopa on superiore, in alto of him and catch their breaths Kopa:" dad?" Simba looks up at Kopa on his head Kopa:" we're pals right" Simba giggles:" right" Kopa:" and we'll always be together right?" he says that as a gust of wind blows making their furs dance with the wind, Simba:" te know let me tell te something that my father told me that was told da his father... look at the stars" he looks up as Kopa looks also "the great kings of the past are up their, looking down on us from those stars" Kopa:" really?"

Simba:" the way te know is to pay attention to your surroundings for any hints, clues, o anything that will represent a sign of something like the wind, the weather, o the clouds are examples just got to pay real close attention"
Several months went da as Nala's belly has expand from pregnancy allowing Kopa to notice as they lay in the shade of the trees successivo to pride rock deciding to take the giorno easy this time, Kopa:" ciao mom whats wrong with your stomach?" he looks up from laying his head on his paw Nala:" um" she tries to think of something to say without making it awkward for him "um it's a surprise" Kopa:" what kind of surprise?" he says with a curious tone and look Nala:" you'll have to wait and see" Kopa:" ooohhh" he moans wanting to know looking away "why can't te tell me?" he looks at her again Nala:" uh cause then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" she says smiling still laying with her head on her paws while looking at her cub Kopa:"(sighs and looks away) I guess not" with a defeated tone.
Another few weeks went da as Nala gotten to the point where she has to stay inside the cave of pride rock to prevent birth problems, while that was going on Sarafina volunteered to watch Kopa who is starting to grow in height, while Nala is down and Simba with her keeping her company as both Kopa and Sarafina take a walk through the lands. Kopa walks successivo to her Kopa:" Grandma?" he looks at her Sarafina:" yes?" she looks back Kopa:" what do te do when your not hunting o doing anything important?" Sarafina:" well sometimes I walk around the land like what we're doing now, take naps o just chat with your other grandmother" Kopa:" also where is grandpa" Sarafina bit her lip looking inoltrare, avanti not wanting to answer but has to looking at him again. Sarafina:" well, your grandfather also isn't around" Kopa:" what happen to him?" Sarafina:" um, well he was hunting when his cuore gave out on him" Kopa didn't know how to respond as they continue to walk and approach pride rock.
As they walk they hear a scream of agony and roars from pride rock, Kopa flattens his ears in fear Kopa:" what was that?" Sarafina:" I have no idea but we better hurry" she says then picking Kopa up and running pride rock. Once they reached pride rock Simba comes running out of the cave Simba:" uh...uh (looks around) Sarafina!" Sarafina sets Kopa down Sarafina:" is it Nala? is it time?" Simba:" yes, it is!" Sarafina:" ok get the rest of the lionesses" she says leaving the two there running inside. Kopa:" what's going on?" Simba:" Just stay there" he says going to the end of pride rock that is closet to the shading trees seeing his mother and other lionesses. Simba:" MOM!" he yells down Sarabi:" what is it?!" she says getting up with the lionesses looking at him Simba:" it's Nala!" he says as the group of lionesses quickly gets up and runs up the steps of pride rock and runs in Sarabi:" just stay out here with your father Kopa" she says running da him as Simba goes to him.
Kopa looks up at his father, Kopa:" dad what's going on?" Simba:" uh it's a surprise" he says trying to hide it for a little while longer. Several minuti went da as Sarabi walks out of the cave to find Simba and Kopa laying together at the edge of pride rock looking over the pride lands waiting patiently for any word o news that whatever is going on is done. Sarabi:" Simba, Kopa" she calls as both quickly hop to their Sarabi:" come see" she says as both run past her to find Nala with the newborn cub in front of her cupped in her paws and front legs with it's face hidden in the pelliccia of Nala's. Once Simba and Kopa made it to them as Kopa looks at the small new born Kopa:" so this is my surprise?" he asks Nala:" Kopa, I'd like te to meet your baby sister Kiara" she says while Simba lays down successivo to Nala.
Kopa with no emotion to his face just stares at the sleeping newborn who is now known as his sister, both Nala and Simba giggle at what they think is his reaction. Kopa:" well uh, hello Kiara" he says greeting his baby sister who then slowly opens her eyes then squints from the bright light from the sun beaming it's sunshine through the entrance of pride rock then closes her eyes again. Kopa:" Kiara te just woke up, come and play" he says to the sleeping newborn Nala:" Kopa let her rest, she'll play with te when she's ready" she says then starts licking the newborn keeping her pelliccia clean and warm. Kopa sighs then walks out of the cave while the sun sets disappearing into the horizon as the sky starts to become darker and darker until it's filled with stars. Kopa was still outside but at the edge of pride rock alone looking at the bright half full moon in the sky and the stars as Simba notices him from where he lays successivo to sleeping Nala with their newborn cub Kiara also sleeping.
Simba looks at the two successivo to him making sure they're still asleep before slowly getting up and carefully makes his way over the sleeping lionesses then out the cave. He walks towards his son, Kopa hears him and turns around to see his father Kopa:" I didn't wake te did I?" Simba:" no, I woke up and seen te still out here, so (looks from his son to the night sky then back to his son) what are te doing out here late at night?" Kopa:" I wanted to look at the stars and moon." says looking back up. Simba then yawns Simba:" ok, be sure to come in before the sun rises" he says walking back towards the cave as Kopa watches him leave then looks back at the night sky, while he was looking up someone in the shadows of Pride rock calls him over.
?" Kopa." it says whispering, Kopa looks behind him and lifts his ear trying to hear where the voice is coming from. ?:" down here" the voice says as Kopa looks down to find Zira sitting down in the shadows. Kopa:" great aunt Zira?, what are te doing down there?" Zira:" oh I was just gonna take a late night walk when I seen te sitting da your self, wanna walk with me?" Kopa:" I don't know I'm supposed to stay up here and soon sleep" Zira:" don't worry about that, if te get in trouble I'll say I told you, te can" Kopa:"umm (looks back at the cave filled with his sleeping family) a short walk wouldn't hurt" he says then running down the rocky steps and walking around to where Zira was to find her gone Kopa:" where did she go?" he says looking around finding no one.
While he was looking around Zira hides in the shadows with her claws and teeth ready as she starts to stalk the small confused cub. Meanwhile in the cave of pride rock Sarabi wakes up struggling to sleep ' maybe a short walk to the water hole and back might help me sleep', she says in her head getting up and notices Kopa wasn't where he should be in front of his mother, ' where is that cub?' she says in her head as she exits the cave and looks around not finding the cub but then hearing his voice coming from the bottom of pride rock. Sarabi looks down from pride rock to see Kopa looking around and a leonessa in the tall erba with her claws and teeth out stalking the cub, Sarabi:" kopa!" she says in fear as she quickly jumps from the superiore, in alto step of pride rock to the ground.
Zira:" this is for te Scar!" she says before pouncing at the cub of Kopa and swiping with her sharp claws, Kopa screams in fear before getting hit in the leg da one of Zira's swipes making him fall to the ground in pain Kopa:" MOM DAD HELP!" he yells from the superiore, in alto of his lungs. Zira:" they can't hear te from here te pathetic cub" she says as she claws the cub again hitting him again with her claws penetrating deep into Kopa's side possible getting an organ judging da him coughing blood as he falls to the grown from the amount of pain and weakness overfills him from the serious wounds to his side. Zira:" Scar is going to be happy to see you" she says lifting her paw again getting ready to swipe again.
Before Zira could get a chance to swipe again she gets stopped da the tackle of Sarabi, clawing, biting, everything that she could do in her power to protect Kopa, but the problem is Zira is much younger then Sarabi which means shes physically stronger. Zira pushes her off as they start to cerchio each other Sarabi" KOPA RUN!!, GO TO YOUR PARENTS!" she yells while not taking her eye off of Zira. Kopa tries his very best to get up and walk as fast as he can but as he stands massive shocks of pain shoots from his wounds and punctured organ but the pain doesn't stop him as he goes as fast as he can going up the steps with his spit turning into blood dripping from his mouth.
Kopa:" DAD!... MOM!!" he yells from outside, Simba quickly looks up from where he lays to see his son covered in blood and deep claw wounds, Simba:" KOPA!" he yells waking Nala and the lionesses up as they two see the bloody cub. Simba and Nala runs out of the cave with the lionesses behind while Sarafina stays to keep baby Kiara asleep, as they meet the cub Nala:" Kopa what happened?!" she says in a very worried tone. Kopa tries to speak but his breathing is short due to his punctured organ, Kopa:" Zira... did this... grandma with her fighting.... (points at the direction) down there" Simba:" LIONESSES FOLLOW!" he growls the command as they did as commanded and followed Simba to where Zira and Sarabi would be while Nala stays to just hope his injuries aren't life threatening.
Kopa walks several steps towards his mother before falling into the grasps of his mother's mouth as she carries Kopa panicking for Kopa's life ' what do I do? what do I do?! my son is dieing.. RAFIKI! he does stuff like this right?' she says is in her head panicking as she carries Kopa in her mouth as she jumps from the superiore, in alto of pride rock to the ground running as fast as she can to Rafiki's tree. Simba and the other lionesses finds both Zira and Sarabi, Zira who looks like she never gotten touched swipes at very weak and injured Sarabi luckily missing, Simba:" ZIRA!" he roars making Sarabi take her eye off of Zira for the one secondo giving Zira a chance to strike.
Zira uses the distraction to get her jaws around the neck of Sarabi, Sarabi:" I Amore te all" she says accepting her fate Simba:" DON'T te DE-" he gets interrupted da the sound of a snap coming from the neck of Sarabi's as Zira spits the carcass of Sarabi in front of Simba who is filled with rage, anger, sorrow, hurt, all combined into one. Zira:" te feel it Simba?!" " te feel the hatred?! te feel the hurt of losing someone te love, like when te killed Scar?!" she growls and Simba roars in anger then charges at her tackling and pinning her to the ground with a clear shot of a kill but Simba stops as Zira embraces thinking she's going to be dead but gasps in shock that she's still alive.
Zira looks up at the infuriated Simba Zira:" te want revenge don't te Simba?! well now is your chance go ahead and finish me off!" she says embracing again as Simba does nothing. Nala makes it to the albero as Rafiki climbs down to meet them, Rafiki:" ah hello young Na-..!" he says about to greet his friend but then notices the seriously injured cub of Kopa, Rafiki:" I'll take him quickly get in the tree" he says with no hesitation as he takes the cub and goes into his albero filled with medical herbs and other health related plants and fruit. Setting the injured cub in the flattest spot of the albero he examines the injury then sighs with defeat and sorrow, as Nala sitting successivo to him gets even più worried, Nala:" Well?" Rafiki:" I'm afraid that his wounds are too fatal for an attempt of heal, his lungs and liver has both been punctured" Nala:" there's got to be something!" she says as a tear of sorrow and fear falls from her eye Rafiki nods 'no' with a tear also falls " deeply unfortunately there is not, if his organ of lung and liver weren't punctured then there would of been a chance of survival but since they were he has no chance of living any longer" Rafiki puts an ear to the chest of Kopa's as he hears Kopa's heartbeat slowing down and slowly dieing until Rafiki hears the last bloody cough of Kopa's then hears nothing..., not a beat, not a puff of air, no sound o feel of a pulse.
With lumps in Nala's throat she starts to cry letting her fears, worries and sorrow roll out in tears knowing her cub, her only son is gone. Rafki:" his soul is with Mufasa and the other great kings now" he says as he also starts to cry with tears starting to flow. Back at Pride rock Simba still pinning Zira to the ground finally speaks " if te ever mostra your face o step your paws into the pridelands te will die, as of now te are banished to the outlands" Zira doesn't say anything but smiles evilly at her some what victory Simba:" I expect te gone before sunrise" Zira still doesn't say anything as Simba gets off of her and backs away with his eyes still on Zira. Zira gets up then runs away and disappears into the distance.
Simba turned around once he knows shes gone, looking at his motionless mother, Simba nudges her hoping some life is left " mother?" he nudges her again Sarabi slowly opens her eyes Sarabi:" Si...mba?" she says in a crackling voice and not moving her head. Simba:" can te get up, c-c- can te walk?!" he says getting very worried for his mother's life, Sarabi:" I....Af...aid..... i c-... an't" Simba:" uh.. here we'll carry te to Rafiki's I'm sure he knows what to do" Sarabi nods 'no' slowly Sarabi:" Sim...ba.... th...at...... wo...n't... m-make.... a difference" she says as her voice slowly becomes più clearer, Simba:" It won't unless we try, lionesses help me carry her" he commands at the mourning lionesses as they quickly come to aid in carrying the former Queen and their greatest friend and mother as they pick her up gently and as quick as they can walk towards the albero of Rafiki's.
At Rafiki's albero both Nala and Rafiki are still flowing tears from their eyes mourning at the death of the once living prince of Kopa, Nala:" (sob) I feel like smashing my head against (sob) two rocks" she says in a crying very depressed tone Rafiki:" I know it's very hard to lose someone of yours, but it's needed for us to live on, that is what he would of wanted is for us to live on and put this behind us... it's going to haunt us for the rest of our lives but think of happy things" Nala:" how am I supposed to forget the one I gave birth too?!" she says crying some più Rafiki:" we still got young Kiara" Nala:" yes but-" she gets interrupted da the roar of Simba who is carrying the carcass of Sarabi who is still hanging with life. Simba:" RAFIKI!" Rafiki qucikly swings to where he can see what's going on as he sees Simba and the lionesses carrying Sarabi.
Rafiki jumps from his albero and lands on the ground in front of the group as Nala stays in the tree, and cups her dead cub hugging him one last time as she cries some more. Rafiki:" set her down quickly" they do as he says gently setting seriously injured Sarabi down, Rafiki looks at her neck which obviously is broken but the domanda is, is her throat punctured, Rafiki:" Sarabi can te speak?" Sarabi:" Par....tially" she says as Rafiki looks at the bit marks ' it dont seem to be deep' Rafiki says in his head. Simba:" is she going to be ok?" Rafiki doesn't answer for a secondo Rafiki:" hard to say, Sarabi do te taste blood?" Sarabi:" no" Rafiki:" it just might be a broken neck then , and if I"m correct should be up and around da the successivo mese o so but until than don't sposta your head it will cause più damage to your neck and eventually your spinal cord if te do".
Simba sighs in relief then remembers about Kopa, Simba:" Rafiki, I need te to look at Kopa quickly" he says about to run back to pride rock but gets halted da Rafiki, Rafiki:" I already looked at the cub... Nala brought him and... (looks at the ground)" Simba:" is he going to be ok?! " Rafiki didn't answer o looks up as he points to his albero " see for your self" says in a depressed tone. Simba's cuore races in fear and worried as he quickly turns to Rafiki's albero then jumps in entering the albero to find Nala laying down eyes closed cupping motionless Kopa, Simba walks closer as Nala looks at him with tears flowing, Simba:" is he?!" he says hoping he's just sleeping Nala didn't answer. Simba gets closer to where is almost face to face with Nala as he leans down to put an ear to the cubs chest to hope hear a heartbeat, but hears nothing not a beat not a puff of air, when he hears nothing tears starts to rush to his eyes and flow down his face.
Months after the tragic night Kiara grown up meeting and becoming mates with a lion named Kovu not knowing any story o any hints of Kopa's precedente life, but her parents always look at the stars every night to tribute Kopa's life, Sarabi's neck did heal but when Kiara ran away after the exile of Kovu, she past away due to old age leaving Sarafina to be the last living of an old era. As life moves on and Simba and Nala grows older they never forgot the ones they loved from Mufasa to the young Kopa they remembered all and loved all.
