Virus and Stella were hugging each other gently until they heard a stick snap. They gasped and turned their heads as they soon saw Scourge walking towards them.

"Who's this cutie?" Scourge asked with a smirk.

Virus stepped in front of Stella.

"Back off Dad." He said with a glare.

"Hey. No need to be so worried. I was just asking."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to tell you that we're about to start a war with Simba."

"What?!"

"Not only that but that will be our perfect chance to kill Sonic."

Stella widened her eyes.

"Now come on son, we don't want to miss this." Scourge said as he started walking away.

Stella looked at Virus nervously as he looked at her. She looked scared as he thought to himself. He looked at the ground for a bit but then back at Scourge as he glared at him.

"No."

Scourge stopped walking and then looked at Virus with a soft glare.

"What did you just say?"

"I said, No Dad. I can't do this anymore. All my life, you taught me to feed on sadness and pain and all because you want me to be just like you. But I don't want to be like you if that's what you're gonna be."

"You never gave me a normal childhood. You never asked what I wanted. I never wanted any of this. But at the same time, I can't thank you enough because of you, I met this beautiful lady here who actually cares about me for who I really am."

"She didn't even care that I almost hurt her. She knew the truth but she forgave me. Unlike you. I want to be with Stella, the daughter of Sonic and Bliss."

Stella smiled at him as he smiled back at her but looks back at Scourge with a glare.

"I quit your stupid team dad."

Scourge was shocked as he looked at Stella.

"You're Sonic's daughter!?" Stella didn't say a word.

He growled at her.

"How dare you effect my son!"

Scourge ran after her roaring loudly but Virus slapped him away and began to attack him.

"Virus!"

"Go! I'll handle him!"

"But..."

"Go!"

Stella stood there for a minute but quickly ran off as Scourge and Virus we're fighting each other.

With Timon and Pumbaa.

"I can't believe she's gone again. This is like the millionth time! I thought you were gonna watch her!"

"No! I thought you were gonna watch her!"

"Timon?"

"Gah!" He turned around and saw Bliss walking towards them.

"Oh! It's just you!"

"What's going on?"

Timon and Pumbaa looked at each other but then started begging.

"Oh please! Don't tell Simba! Please! He'll kill us if he finds out! Please don't tell him!"

"We'll do anything!" Pumbaa said.

"What are you talking about?"

"You see...We have no idea where Kiara went and if Simba finds out, we're his next meal!"

"Oh I'm sure that won't happen."

"Oh great... it's raining?" Sonic asked as he looked outside.

"I'm afraid so but don't worry, we should be fine."

"What about Stella? She's still out there."

"You're right. We better go look for her." Right as she said that, Simba walked in and shook a bit as he walked inside.

Timon and Pumbaa looked at Bliss and got into their begging position as a signal to not tell him.

"Sup Simba." Sonic said.

"Hey."

"Hi Simba. Timon and Pumbaa have something to tell you."

"What!? You said you weren't gonna tell him!" Timon said in a worried tone.

"I'm not, you are." Bliss said with a small laugh.

"Tell me what?" Simba asked.

"Well... let's just say that this... friend..."

"Who wasn't a lion!"

"No! No! Definitely not a lion! But let's just say that this friend had just... vanished?"

"Kiara's gone!?"

"Oh boy." Sonic said as they shook with fear.

"Sire! The Outsiders are coming! They're mad! It's war!" Zazu said.

"Zazu! Find Kiara! We'll assemble the lionesses!" Simba said as he rushed outside.

"In the rain though?" Sonic asked.

"Can you worry about the rain later? Our daughter could be in trouble!" Bliss said as she ran outside.

Sonic sighed and followed her, along with Timon and Pumbaa.

Soon The Outsiders, Simba, Nala and the others came together and they glared towards the opposite pride.

"Man. That's one mean lioness." Sonic said.

"I swear if she did something to Stella!"

"Mom! Dad!" Stella pushed past the evil lionesses and ran towards Sonic and Bliss.

"Stella!" She stopped in front of them and gave both of them a hug.

"Stella!" Sonic hugged back.

"Thank goodness you're ok!" Bliss held her close.

"I'm here Mom. I'm here Dad."

"Where Virus?" Sonic asked.

Before she could say anything, Zira interrupted.

"It's over Simba! I never thought this day would come but I dreamed it would happen!"

"Last chance Zira. Go home."

"I am home!" Zira grinned at him as the lightning strikes.

"Attack!" The lionesses roared loudly as they headed towards each other and began to attack, along with Simba and his friends.

Kiara and Kovu were running back towards the Pride Lands to find their families, only to find them fighting. They looked at each other worried and ran towards them.

Vitani jumped onto a big rock and looked down at Nala.

"Where's your pretty daughter Nala!?"

"Vitani!"

Vitani pounced Nala and started to attack her.

While Simba was battling the evil lionesses, Zira slapped Simba which made everyone stop what they were doing and only focused on Simba and Zira.

Bliss gasped as she watched.

"You got this Simba." Sonic said in his thoughts.

Stella covered her face, feeling worried about what was going to happen.

Right before they could attack each other, Kiara and Kovu roared loudly during the thunder and lightening and landed in front of their parents as they stared at them.

"Kiara?" Kiara glares at Simba.

"Kovu! Move." Zira said as they glared at each other.

"Stand aside."

"Daddy, this has to stop."

Simba was surprised.

"You're even weaker than I thought! Get out of the way!" Zira yelled.

"You'll never hurt Kiara or Simba! Not while I'm here." Kovu said as Zira growled at him.

"Stay out of this!" Simba said.

"A wise King once told me, we are one. I didn't understand before but now I do." Kiara said with a smile.

"But...they..."

"Them? Us? Look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?"

Everyone was shocked as no one said anything. The sunlight soon hit Simba's face as he looked up. He looked back at Kiara, smiled at her and gave each other a hug.

"Vitani! Now!" Zira yelled.

"No Mother!" Vitani looked at Kiara.

"Kiara's right." Vitani walked towards Simba's side.

"Enough."

Zira's family looked at each other, shocked.

"If you will not fight, then you will die as well!"

Zira's family scoffed at her as they walked towards Simba side, making Zira look at them shocked.

"Where are you going!? Get back here!"

"Let it go Zira! It's time to put the past behind us."

"I'll never let it go!"

Simba suddenly heard some noise from the distance.

"This is for you, Scar!" Zira roared and tried to attack Simba but Kiara got in the way and pushed her as it made them head towards the cliff.

"Kiara!"

Kiara and Zira were falling as they others, looked at them shocked.

"Kiara!"

Stella gasped as she saw them falling. Simba jumped down to rescue his daughter.

"Kiara!"

Kiara was hanging onto her dear life as well as Zira was.

"Oh no!" Bliss said.

"Hold on Kiara!" Nala looked up and saw that the river was going to break through any minute.

"Simba...Simba! The river!" Simba gasped and tried to get to Kiara.

Kiara was able to lift herself up as well as trying to help Zira.

"Zira! Give me your paw!" Zira refused and tried to scratch her as she was slowly slipping.

"Zira come on! I'll help you!"

But it was to late. She fell into the river and completed her Circle of Life. Kovu sighed sadly, knowing that he lost his mother.

Kiara was disappointed that she couldn't rescue her, even after everything she did.

"Kiara."

"Oh Daddy. I tried." Simba pulled her up and he hugged her gently, along with Nala.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright!" Bliss said.

"Are you ok kid?" Sonic asked.

"I'm ok."

"Are you hurt?" Stella asked.

"No. I'm alright."

Kiara looked at Kovu and gave him a hug as he hugged back.

"Kovu?" Kovu looked at Simba.

"I was wrong. You belong here." Kovu smiled as Kiara came by him and gave him another hug.

"Let's go home...all of us."
