Chapter 38: Three Roars Are Better Than One
AN believe me when I say this: the video above is perfect for Sora, Donald, and Goofy! This is just a fun video and also, it kind matches the chapter, considering Sora is thinking of Kairi. *Pokes Sora* Enjoy!

"Nala, isn't there someone else who could be king? There has to be someone!" Yami said.
"There was... but he died... when he was just a cub. He was the son of our last king, Mufasa. If only Simba were here." Nala said. Simba!?
"Simba's not dead!" I said.
"Yeah, he's just fine! He fought by our side not that long ago." Sora said.
"You mean Simba's alive!? But where is he?" Nala asked.
"We don't know that. Sorry." I said.
"Still... Simba's alive! I can't believe it..." Nala said. We decided to tell Nala all that we knew about Simba. Then, we traveled to Wildebeest Valley. Then we came to a large chasm. Sora was scared about how to get across. Nala jumped across it with no problem. I backed up, got a running, ran forward and jumped. I gracefully landed next to Nala. I looked back to Sora.
"Come on, Sora! You can do it!" I said.
"No way!" Sora whined.
"Here let me try!" Yami backed up a little ways and she jumped, landing gracefully next to me. "Whoa! That was fun! Sora, you gotta try it!"
"Uh-uh! I'm not falling!" He said and I thought for a minute and decided to use a line Riku always used.
"What's wrong Sora? Giving up already? I thought you were stronger than that." I said. That seemed to be the push he needed. He did exactly as Nala, Yami, and I had and made it to the other side. Goofy and Donald followed after him.
"See?" Yami smiled at him. "It's easy!"
"That was really fun!" He looked over the chasm.
"We also know how to get you to face your fears!" We started walking again. "Nala, why did you believe Simba was dead?"
"When Simba's father, King Mufasa, died, we were told that Simba died alongside him." Nala said.
"Who told you that?" Sora asked. She stopped walking.
"Scar." Nala answered. I was even more concerned about this world now than before. I heard a rattling noise behind us. We all looked to see Rafiki had followed us.
"It is time." Rafiki said. He pointed his stick forward as if to say we needed to go that way.
"It must be Simba!" Nala exclaimed. We hurried that way and across some cliffs. In the distance, I saw some kind of lush, tropical jungle. We hurried into the jungle and came to an oasis. There. we saw Simba was surrounded by Heartless. Simba let out a loud and frightening roar and the Heartless retreated.
"Simba!" Sora said. We ran over to Simba, but he didn't seem to recognize us. He got down, ready to pounce on us.
"It's us Simba. Sora, Piri, Donald and Goofy! Of course, we also have a new me on our team, her name is Yami." I said. He got closer to us and must have realized it was us.
"Sora! Piri! Donald! Goofy!" Simba explained. He tackled me and Sora and nuzzled both of us, which kind of tickled. "What happened to you guys?" Then he looked up at Yami, "And when did Yami arrive?" That's when a scream echoed from the jungle.
"Help! Simba! Heeelp!" a voice yelled.
"She's gonna eat us!" another voice screamed.
"Timon? Pumbaa!? Something must have happened in the jungle! I have to go help my friends!" Simba said. Simba ran ahead of us. When we came to where they were, Simba and Nala were fighting each other.
"Simba, stop! That's Nala!" I yelled. Simba tackled Nala and they flipped several times before Nala pinned Simba.
"Nala?" Simba asked. She got off him and they looked at each other.
"Simba!" Nala exclaimed. That's when I saw a meerkat and warthog. The second they saw us, they ran toward Simba.
"Don't worry. They're all friends of mine." Simba said.
"So that means... nobody's planning on eating anybody else for lunch, right?" the meerkat asked. The 5 of us nodded.
"Are you sure they don't wanna eat me like I'm some kinda pig!?" the warthog asked.
"We won't... but you are a pig, aren't you?" Sora asked.
"Call me Mr. Pig!" the warthog said. We all laughed and, at Simba's request, left him and Nala alone. We later discovered the meerkat was Timon and the warthog was Pumbaa.
"Simba seems really carefree here." I said.
"Of course! He lives by our motto; Hakuna Matata." Timon said.
"What?" I asked.
"Hakuna Matata. It means 'No worries'." Timon said, then he turned to the loving lions. "Look at those two!"
I looked at them, "What about them?"
"Are you serious? Him, her, in love!" He grinned but then his face turned to disgust.
"What's wrong with that?" Sora asked.
"I can see what's happening." He sang.
"What?" Pumbaa asked.
"And they don't have a clue!"
"Who?"
"They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line: our trio's down to two." I rolled my eyes at this.
"Oh..."
"The sweet caress of twilight. There's magic in the air. And with romantic atmosphere, disaster's in the air!"
I laughed them, "That song?"
"What song?" Yami asked.
"Um... Piri?" Sora asked.
"Can you feel the love tonight? The peace, the evening grace?" Piri giggled and looked at the sky, thinking about Riku and blushing, "The world for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things."
Sora sighed and shook his head smiling, thinking about Kairi, "Some many things to tell her, but how to make her see the truth about my past? Impossible, she turn away for me."
"Does everyone know this song?" Goofy whispered to Yami and Donald who just shrugged.
"He's holding back, he's hiding of what I can't decide. Why won't he be the king I know he is. The king I see inside?" Piri sang and closed her eyes, picturing Sora as Riku. Of course, Sora pictured Piri as Kairi. Yami rolled her eyes and smirked.
"Can you feel the love tonight? The peace, the evening grace? The world for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things." They sung together and Timon and Pumbaa teared up. "Can you feel the love tonight? Baby, it's not too hard! Going through the life's uncertainties, love is where they are!" Timon interupted them.
"And if they fall in love tonight, it can be assumed..."
Pumbaa hugged Timon, "His everyday with us are history."
"In short our pal is doomed!" They finished together and bursted out with tears. I scoffed.
"You guys are dramatic..."
"Says the girl who started to sing when she got reminded of that song," Sora said and I pouted.
"You sung with me, Sora! Don't give me that crap!" It was then we saw Nala, looking slightly upset.
"He's not the Simba I remember. Something about Hakuna Matata..." Nala said.
Soon, night falls and we decide to get some sleep. However, I couldn't sleep. I got up and saw Sora curled up. He was so peaceful-looking and mumbling something I couldn't hear. I smiled and nudged him with my cheek. I walked to the waterfall and take a bath. I put my head underneath the falls and ran through. I came back out and decided to swim around a little. I giggled and took a deep breath before going under. I saw the fish and turtles swim by in a hurry to get away from me and I swam deeper until I was almost out of air. I turpoed out of the water and onto land, shaking off the excess water and checking to see if my necklaces were still there. This place is the best! I looked up to the sky, seeing it's beauty pierced with the hearts of the worlds- stars.
So many things were going through my head, especially Riku. I decided to take a drink and lapped some water. Before I went back I noticed Simba looking up at the sky.
"Simba?" I asked. He didn't turn around, but he said something.
"The rest of you can come out." Simba said. Everyone else came out from hiding. "I'm going back to face my past. I could use your help."
"He really is a king..." Timon said. The sun rose behind Simba and it seemed to signify Simba ready to take his place as the rightful king. We made our way back to the Pride Lands. Simba was shocked by the state his home was in. "Wait a minute. We're gonna fight your uncle for THIS?"
"Yes, Timon. This is my home." Simba said. We hurried to Pride Rock. The second Scar saw Simba, he became afraid.
"Simba! You're alive!" Scar gasped.
"This kingdom doesn't belong to you." Simba said.
"Simba's the rightful king." Nala said. Simba backed Scar into a corner.
"The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or fight." Simba said.
"Must this all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member, Simba..." Scar said. He weaseled pass Simba.
"I've put the past behind me." Simba said.
"But what about your faithful subjects? Have they?" What was Scar getting at?
"Simba, what is he talking about?" Nala asked.
"Go on. Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death!" Scar said.
"I am." Simba answered. Nala was shocked, but I refused to believe that Simba had anything to do with his own father's death. Scar started backing Simba closer to the cliff.
"He admits it! Murderer! If it weren't for you, Mufasa would still be alive. Do you deny it?" Scar asked.
"No! But it was an accident!" Simba exclaimed.
"You're in trouble again. But this time, Daddy isn't here to save you. And know everyone knows why!" Scar said. With that final statement, Simba's foot slipped and he was now half-dangling off the cliff.
"Simba!" Sora, Yami, and I cried. I wanted to run and help Simba, but for some reason, I couldn't move. That when Simba suddenly lunged forward and pounced on Scar.
"Murderer! Tell them the truth!" Simba yelled.
"All right. All right!" Scar exclaimed. What he said next was whispered so you couldn't hear.
"So they can hear you!" Simba said.
"I... killed... Mufasa!" Scar enunciated. That monster! 3 hyenas attacked Simba and allowed Scar to escape.
"Simba! You get Scar! We'll handle these guys!" Sora said. Simba ran after Scar and I ran to Sora. More hyenas began to surround us. That's when Timon and Pumbaa bulldozed through them. Then they found themselves surrounded by the hyenas. They ran in the same direction Scar and Simba had. The hyenas tailed and we followed the hyenas. We managed to keep Timon and Pumbaa safe and defeated the hyenas at the same time.
"Where's Simba?" I asked.
"He went up there." Nala said. We hurried to the up to find Simba and Scar.
"Simba!" Yami exclaimed. Sora and I stopped her.
"He has to do this alone." I said.
"It's his fight, Donald." Sora said. Each of the made a harsh smack with their paw, but Scar knocked Simba down. The evil lion jumped, ready to finish Simba off, but Simba used his back legs to pushed Scar off the edge. "You're okay!" That's when Pete's annoying voice came from behind us.
"Aw, that was just a sneak preview!" Pete came around the corner. "Cause this ain't over—not by a long shot!" Pete pointed behind us. That's when we saw Scar climbing back up to the top. How could he have survived that fall?! "Anger and jealousy turned the king of Pride Rock into a Heartless! Oh, your kingdom's gonna rise again...But this time, as the Pride Lands of Darkness!" Pete exclaimed. The sky changed into a blue color with black haze circling around Pride Rock.
"That's what you think!" Simba said. Scar was able to use both dark, fire and thunder attacks and when using the darkness, he moved at almost lightning speed. I had an idea. I focused and became cloaked in light.
"Yami, let's do this together!" She nodded at this. She coated with darkness and something appeared in her mouth- a keyblade! It was a dark blue and black color with a little bit of dark green and yellow. The handle guard looked like black angel wings and the teeth was replaced by a black metallic wing as well. We tackled him, dispelling the darkness the cloaked him.
"Sora! Simba! Now!" I yelled. The 2 of them delivered the final blow that took down Scar for good. After everything settled, Simba climbed to the cliff part of Pride Rock and roared. The lionesses joined in, signaling that the true king had taken his place. I looked at Sora and Yami.
"Let's roar too!" Yami giggled and Sora nodded. We roared loudly, loudest out of was us three. We looked at each other in shock.
"Was that us?" Yami asked and I giggled.
"Guess so..." Sora said.
Just then, the clouds swirled and revealed an apparition of Simba's father, Mufasa. The sky lit up and Sora's Keyblades began to glow. We left the Pride Lands soon after unlocking the Keyhole.

AN You know, I realized Piri's Darkside has the same name of Hikari's sister from another fanfic. The thing is, I just know that name means darkness in Japanese and well at that time that name was perfect for The blackette. I couldn't help but name her that. Vote, comment, be ready for kh3 and stay awesome!
