The pridelanders all go into shock seeing Adofo meet his demise. Christen drops to her knees when Nick and her children gather around her. All of them are grieving over him.
Christen: No! No! No........
Shanon: ......daddy.......
Kiara: Uncle Adofo......he.....can't........
Nala goes up to Simba who's just hanging over the edge looking down at the water.
Simba: He.......he came back.....he was back to normal....then he saved me.......again! I couldn't save him.......all that stuff he said....he was right! He always saved me and this one time I couldn't save him!!!
Nala: Simba it's not your fault!
Simba: You were always there! He was always the one that would risk his life to try to save us! Anything bad we got into he'd be the one of us to put his life on the line to keep us safe! He's saved my life countless times and I couldn't save him once!!!!!!!! NOT ONCE!!!!!!!!.......he's right......I am a terrible brother.......
Nala: That wasn't really him talking! If you were so terrible why would he save you again!?
Vita walks over to the edge and looks down into the rushing water.
Vita: Hmmm........well at least that's one problem solved.
As fast as he can Simba runs over and pins Vita to the ground in a fit of rage.
Simba: SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!!! NONE OF WHAT HE DID WAS HIS FAULT!!!!!!EVER SINCE I'VE MET YOU ALL YOU'VE DONE IS SHOW YOUR HATRED TOWARDS HUMANS!!!! HE MAY HAVE BEEN A HUMAN BUT ADOFO'S A MILLION TIMES THE LION YOU COULD EVER BE!!!!!!! WHY......WHY DO YOU HATE HUMANS SO BADLY!!!!!!
Vita: Because!! Be-.....because my younger brother was taken by humans.
Nick: So your whole hatred for humans is because a few humans took your brother?!!
Simba: THAT IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE!!!!!!
Vita: That's not it.......Adofo was not the first human to live in the wild.......my brother Ajali......he was a human!
Nobody just looks at Vita in shock, not really knowing how else to react.
Jelani: What!
SImba gets off of Vita and he gets back on his feet.
Vita: .......A long time ago......when I was a very young little cub my father took me around to show me the lands.....I could hardly even walk.......he carried me on his back and off in the distance we saw one of your human vehicles driving by. A man and a woman. They were driving on some pretty rough terrain and we saw something fall off. They just kept driving and so we went to look at it, when we got there is was a little human boy, who couldn't have been more than a few weeks old. My father saved him and we brought him back home. For a while we thought maybe they would come looking for him. We waited for days and nothing. That's when my father decided to keep him as his own, he officially became my little brother! Just like you and Adofo we grew up together, we played together, we were always at each others side! I loved him so much.......years had passed, I was still the same but Ajali....something started to change. He became distant. He never spoke, he didn't want to do anything with me or anyone else. He just shut himself off from everyone else for no reason........then one day they had finally come back. My father had went to talk to Ajali to ask him what was wrong and before I could get to them some men that the man and woman brought with them pointed guns at my father. All he did was try to protect Ajali, and when they saw he wouldn't give him up.....they shot him dead! After they killed my father they took Ajali back over to his real parents and drove off with him. I never saw him again. The worst part was......when the en aimed their weapons at my father Ajali did nothing, nothing at all! He din't move, his expression never changed, he just calmly watched what was happening. And when they killed my father right in front of him he hardly even blinked! He actually seemed happy to go back with his birth parents! I lost my father and my brother that day! Some of the two people I cared about most in this world in one day......gone. One killed and the other left.........that is my problem with humans! They use you, make you think that they care and then they leave you for dead!!!! In time he would have done the same to you!
Simba: No.....no Adofo's different! Not all humans are like that! He loved my parents, he loved this pride, he loved me.....till the very end!
Vita: Humph.....such a fool. If I were to stay and fight with you, my pride wouldn't last long, fighting side by side with a bunch of clueless lions. We can do better on our own!
Simba: Fine by me!
Vita: Fine, let's go!
Vita's pride reluctantly follows him.
