"Father?"

The sky got cloudy as it started to form into a lion. Bliss was shocked as she watched. Mufasa walked slowly from above and looked down at Simba.

"Simba, have you forgotten me?"

"No. How could I?"

Bliss looked at Simba and then back at Mufasa without moving her head.

"You have forgotten who you are so you forgotten me. Look inside yourself Simba. You are what you have become! You must take your place in the Circle of Life."

"How can I go back!? I'm not who I used to be."

"Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true King."

Simba looked at him surprised.

"Remember who you are." They noticed that he was starting to disappear.

"No! Please! Don't leave me!" Simba tried to go after him as he whispered,

"Remember..."

"Father!"

"Remember..."

"Don't leave me..."

"Remember..."

Mufasa was now gone and Simba was now just starting at the night sky. Bliss walked towards Simba.

"What was that?" She asked.

"The weather!" Rafiki said.

Bliss looked at Rafiki confused.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Rafiki hits Simba on the head.

"Ow! Gees! What was that for!?"

"It doesn't matter! It's all in the past! Hahaha!"

"Yeah but it's still hurts." Bliss glared at Rafiki, wondering why he would just suddenly hit him for no reason.

"Aww yes. The past can hurt. So you could either run from it or learn from it!" Rafiki tried to hit him again but Simba dodged it.

"Aha! You see? So what are you gonna do?"

"First, I'm gonna take your stick!" Simba threw his stick away from him as Rafiki ran to get it.

"No! No! No! Not the stick! Hey! Where are you going?!"

"I'm going back!"

Bliss watched him run off in the field. She decided to follow him just in case.

Later, Timon, Pumbaa and Sonic were sleeping when Nala showed up. She gently pushed Timon to wake him up.

"Hey. Hey wake up."

Timon stopped snoring as he woke up. When he saw Nala's face, he screamed which woke up Pumbaa who also screamed.

Sonic jumped as he heard screaming. He looked around quickly and noticed that it was just Nala.

"It's ok! It's ok! Whoa! Whoa! It's ok! It's me!"

"Don't you do that again. Carnivores."

"Have you seen Simba?"

"I thought he was with you."

"He was but I can't find him. Where is he?"

"Do you know where Bliss is?" Sonic asked.

"I haven't seen her either."

Suddenly, they heard laughter and they turned their heads to see Rafiki on the tree.

"You won't find them here! Aha! The King has returned!"

"I can't believe it. He's gone back!"

"Gone back? What do you mean?" They looked at the tree and noticed that Rafiki is gone.

"Hey! What's going on here!? Who's the Monkey!?"

"Simba's gone back to challenge Scar!"

"Who?"

"Scar."

"Who's got a scar?"

"No. No. No. It's his Uncle."

"The Monkey's his Uncle?"

"No! Simba's going back to challenge his uncle to take his place as King."

"Oh!" Timon and Pumbaa finally understood as they looked at her.

"Maybe Bliss went with him. What are we waiting for!? Let's go!" Sonic said as he ran off with the others following him.

Meanwhile with Simba and Bliss, they were running through the desert to head back to the Pride Lands. Bliss was running beside him while smiling at him. Simba smiled back as they continued running.

When they arrived, they noticed that Nala wasn't kidding about what was happening. They both looked shocked as they slowly looked around.

They walked on top of a soft surface rock as they continued to look. Simba was still shocked to see his home destroyed.

Simba did not like this at all.

"I can't believe your Uncle would do this."

"Me either."

"Simba! Wait up!" Nala ran towards them as they looked at her.

"It's awful isn't it?"

"I didn't want to believe you." Simba said.

"What made you come back?"

"I thought about it and I noticed that you were right and besides, this is my Kingdom. If I don't fight for it, then who will?"

"I would." Nala said.

"It's gonna be dangerous."

"Danger? Ha! I laugh at a face of danger! Hahahaha!"

"I see nothing funny about this." Timon said.

"Timon, Pumbaa? What are you doing here?"

"At your service your majesty." Pumbaa said as he bowed.

"Sonic!"

"Glad to see you're ok Bliss."

"We're gonna fight your Uncle? For this?" Timon asked.

"Yes Timon. This is my home."

"Well Simba. If it's important to you, we're with you to the end."

"We all are." Sonic said as Bliss nodded.

Simba smiled at them and then they all looked at the Pride Rock as the wind was blowing at them gently.

They began to sneak in quietly as they looked around. They hid behind a big rock and saw some hyenas.

"Hyenas...I hate Hyenas. So what's your plan to get passed those guys?" Timon whispered.

"Live bait." Simba whispered back.

"Good idea...hey!"

"Come on Timon. You guys gotta create a diversion."

"What do you want me to do?! Dress myself and do the hula!?"

Soon, Timon and Pumbaa distracted the Hyenas as Simba and his friends were able to enter Pride Rock.

"Nala, you find my mother by the other lionesses. I'll look for Scar."

"I'll stay here and keep a look out." Sonic said.

"I'll come with you Simba. Just in case." Bliss said as they all split up.

Before Simba could reach Scar, he heard a familiar name.

"Sarabi!"

Simba gasped as he watched from below. Bliss looked down and saw a lioness walking towards Scar. She didn't seem happy as the hyenas were growling at her.

"Is that your Mom?" Bliss whispered.

Simba nodded as he watched her walk towards Scar.

"Yes Scar?"

"Where's your hunting party? They're not doing their job."

"Scar, there's no food. The herds have moved on." Sarabi said in a calm voice.

"No! You're just not looking hard enough!"

"It's over. There is nothing left. We have only one choice. We must leave Pride Rock."

"We're not going anywhere!"

"Then you have sentenced us to death!"

"Then so be it!" Sarabi looked at him shocked.

"You can't do that!"

"I am the King! I can do whatever I want!"

"If you were half the King Mufasa was..."

"I'M 10 TIMES THE KING MUFASA WAS!" Scar said as he slapped Sarabi.

Simba growled at Scar as lightning strikes behind him. Scar saw him and was shocked.

"Mufasa!? No! You're dead!" Simba ran towards Sarabi as Bliss stayed at her spot.

Simba was near his mother as she was knocked out. He gently touched her as she opened her eyes.

"Mufasa?"

"No. It's me."

"Simba? You're alive? How can that be?" She asked calmly.

"Doesn't matter. I'm home." Simba gently hugged his Mother. Bliss watched him and smiled a little, happy to see him reunited with his mother again.
