Nala and Kiara were comforting Simba as Bliss and the others stayed a bit far from them to give them space.

"What happened to him Stella?" Bliss asked.

"Virus said he was attacked."

"Do you know by who?" Sonic asked.

"Well...it was....it was..."

The animals started whispering to each other as Kovu came back. Virus looked up and saw that he has a scar on his face.

"Kovu!" Kiara ran towards him but Simba stopped her and walked towards the edge of Pride Rock.

Kovu watched the animals carefully as they were whispering and moving out of the way.

"What's going on?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know." Bliss said as she watched.

Stella turned her head and saw Virus walked away from everyone.

"Virus?" Stella walked towards him.

"Is something wrong?"

"I just..."

"Why have you come back!?"

They turned around and saw Simba talking to Kovu.

"Simba...I had nothing to do with this..."

"You don't belong here!"

"Please. I ask for your forgiveness."

"Daddy please. Listen to him."

"Silence! When you first came here, you asked for judgement and I pass it now!"

Kiara gasped in fear as the animals started to agree with Simba.

"Exile!"

"No!"

Stella gasped as well as the animals started sending him away. Kiara tried to go after him but the lioness guards stopped her.

"No! Kovu!"

Once Kovu was gone, Kiara walked towards Simba.

"Father, please reconsider."

"You won't be going anywhere while my permission for now on."

"No! That's not..."

"He used you to get to me!"

"No! He loves me! For me!"

"Because you are my daughter! You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you. Away from him!"

"You don't know him!"

"I know he's following Scar's footprints! And I must follow my father's."

"You will never be Mufasa!"

Simba was shocked as Kiara ran off crying. The lionesses looked at her worried as she ran past her.

"Kiara..." Stella felt bad for her.

"Ouch." Sonic said as he watched.

Bliss walked towards Simba.

"Simba, isn't this a little to harsh?"

"No! He tried to attack me along with his family. He must never come back."

"But I'm sure that there's some reasonable explanation for all this."

"Yeah. To use my daughter and to distract me to get me killed."

"Simba..."

"I am not changing my mind and that is final!"

Bliss stayed quiet as she took a step back.

As Stella was watching, Virus began to sneak away. When Stella caught him, she yelled his name.

"Virus!"

Virus looked at her sadly.

"I'm sorry." He jumped off Pride Rock and ran off.

"Virus! Wait!" Stella ran after.

"Stella!" Bliss called out to her but she continued running.

"Stella! Get back here right now!"

Stella ignored Sonic and went after Virus.

"Stella!" Sonic was about to go after him but Bliss stopped him.

"Let her go. There's been enough problems today. We'll find her later."

Sonic sighed and nodded.

Later that night, Stella was able to find Virus who was looking at the sky. Stella walked towards him slowly and sat by him.

"What are you doing here?" He said in a low tone.

"Why did you run off like that?"

Virus didn't say a word. She placed her paw on his, making him look at her.

"Please tell me what's going on?"

Virus lowered his ears sadly.

"If I told you, things won't be the same between us."

"You can tell me anything."

He looked at her as she waited for his explanation. He sighed and said,

"I have to tell you the truth. My father is Scourge The Hedgehog and he wanted me to learn how to torture people like he does."

"He was trying to find the Chaos Emerald's in Sonic's house but discovered that he and Bliss were here."

"He brought me here and met this lioness that wanted revenge on Simba and he wanted to help her. He started training me and Kovu to become stronger and more dangerous."

"He soon wanted me to torture Sonic but I soon found out that he wanted me to kill him, which I didn't sign up for."

"I don't think he knows you're alive. I was about to help Kovu with Kiara since we made the fire and we were about to use her but then I saw you and decided to mess with you instead like my father would."

"I did everything Kovu did to Kiara, to get closer to you so I could get to Sonic but after the accidental kiss, I felt different. Like I didn't want to help my father anymore. I started having feelings for you and I didn't want to hurt you or your family."

"It was a huge mistake and I understand if you don't want to be with me anymore or be my friend." He looked away as he finished talking.

Stella was shocked to hear everything about what happened. But she knew that he has good in him and didn't want to lose him. She smiled and placed her head under his neck.

He was shocked as he looked at her. She had her eyes closed and hugged him gently. He smiled back and hugged back as well.

They slowly pulled away and looked at each other.

"I forgive you Virus. You were never truly evil. It was only because your father tried to make you see that and you knew that it was wrong all along."

"And I also have feelings for you too."

Virus blushed as he smiled a bit and hugged her more as she hugged him back.
