[Private] KingKivuli, Zeke and Amanda

[Zeke]

Hokori threw himself upon the weakened Zeke, feeling his claws dig into his soft flesh. He was quickly thrown off and onto his back. He was shocked at the lion's strength in his weak state and was caught off guard. He quickly got onto his feet and back into the fight.

Zeke was instantly overtaken by three lions and while he managed to throw off one, he was still outnumbered. He was quickly pinned on his back and the lions were clawing at his face and tummeh. His hind legs were the only thing holding the lions back from a finishing blow to his neck but he knew he could not hold out too much longer in the condition he was in.

[KingKivuli]

Simba looked in over over where Amanda had ran from. It was near the Outlands surely. Not wanting to waste anytime Simba called back to Nala Nala! Over at Priderock the majestic queen heard her mates call and turn her head to listen closer Kivuli and Zeke are under attack near the Outlands! Rally the lionesses and meet me there! With that the King picked Amanda up in his mouth and started to run as fast as possible to the battle

----------------------------------------

On Priderock Nala frantically began her search for Semira. After a while Nala found her in the upper caves. The cream lioness ran as fast as possible to talk with her Semira, rally the lionesses quickly. Kivuli and Zeke are under attack near the Outlands, your daughter ran back to tell us. Im going ahead follow us as soon as you can Nala then charged off down the slopes of Priderock in order to catch up with Simba

----------------------------------------

Back at the battle, Kivuli and Zeke were struggling to hold their ground but never gave up. 3 of the following lions were attacking Kivuli. Biting and clawing at his flesh leaving marks across his once perfect body. Zane was just sitting back and watching, enjoying the blood sport Give up Kivuli. Your whole pride could not stop them. What makes you think you two can?

Upon hearing these words Kivuli smashed the 3 lions aside and stood face to face with Zane The fact that we are survivors and we will die for honor and pride Kivuli charged claws out. Zane braced himself for the hurt that was defiantly coming. As Kivuli lept in the air to strike, one of the lioness jumped and bit at Kivuli's neck. The grey lion let out a roar of pain as he hit the solid dirt floor. The fight was still on. Zane retracted his claws and went back to watching

[Zeke]

Zeke could not get up from the ground. There was too much weight on his chest to be able to push off. Zeke's strength was slowly deminishing yet he continued to fight off the horde.

Hokori was persistant in his attacking. Despite how many times he got kicked off, he jumped back into the fray. He took great joy in seeing the younger lion struggle and snarl in pain. Chuckling, he clawed at him mercilessly and could taste the blood as it dripped down his face. How I've missed that taste, He thought, thouroughly enjoying the fight.

[Panda-chan]

"She's... what?" Semira asked, but Nala had already disappeared into the landscape below. Shaking her head in frustration, the lioness roared for the rest of the pride to assemble before her for the second time that day. "Listen up everyone. Zeke and Kivuli are in grave danger. They're being attacked by two dangerous lions at this very moment. We need to help them. Everyone follow me!" she ordered. Several roars of approval rang out at the end of this brief speech as one by one, the lionesses clambered down the steep rock toward the battle scene that lay far to the west.

Amanda was dimly aware that she was being carried by the scruff of her neck at great speed to some unknown destination. She wished the fuzziness in her brain would go away. She supposed this was what waking up from a deep coma felt like. Amanda tried hard to remember what was going on but everything was too vague and blurred, as though she were trying to recall what had happened months before.
She felt hot breath breathe down her neck. Who was carrying her? Amanda tried to squirm around to see who held her but she felt too weak to even lift her eyelids halfway. She gave up and resumed her original position. Then she felt a piece of mane tickling the fur on her back. It was Simba!
Amanda's eyes popped open despite herself. Suddenly it all came crashing back. She was being carried toward where Kivuli and Zeke were fighting the strange intruder lions, with a dozen lionesses to back them up! Amanda summoned the last of her energy to breathe a sigh of relief before passing out again. Help was coming at last.

[KingKivuli]

Back at the battlefield the fight was still going. Zeke was just barely hanging on. Kivuli was losing all strength. The pride of attakers were beaten back, as ther fur and blood covered the muddy battle ground. Zeke's and Kivuli's were also covering the ground in a bloody fur blanket. The fight was still on. Altough the bulk of the attack force was wounded the two most powerful remained. Hokari and Zane

Well now Kivuli, you strength never stops amazing me Said Zane in a somewhat disasteful tone You may have wounded these pridemembers but i assure you they are nothing compared to me and Hokari Zane brought his claws back out ready to strike. Kivuli braced his body. It was covered in blood dripping marks and wounds, he was at the stage Zeke was in now. The pain was so intense, but Kivuli was not giving up No way in hell am i letting you pass without a fight. I forbid you entry to these lands Kivuli had summoned the strength to get ready for round two, even though he possibly would not make it Very well have it your way

With that both lions locked in combat. Claw and teeth marks pieced the flesh of both lions as they fought their hardest. However Kivuli finally took all the beating he could handle. The grey beast collapsed in a mixture of mud fur and blood. Zane stood over Kivuli and grinned Nice try old friend but i win

---------------------------------------------

As Zane and Hokori raised their paws to strike, Simba charged in and shunted Hokori. The intruder lion skidded across the ground and smacked into Zane, knocking him off his feet. Simba placed Amanda down in the tall grass out of harms way, before standing in the way, guarding Kivuli and Zeke You two are not welcome here. An attack on my pride is an act of war, im giving you this one chance to run or fight Zane clambered back onto hs feet and faced the king. Lets see one of you, two of us. I think fight, what do you think Hokori?

[Zeke]

Hokori got up and grinned at Zane's words, his teeth and muzzle dripping with blood. "Hehe, I think you don't have a chance old man," He chuckled, his haunting blank eyes staring down the pridelander. Hokori glanced over at Zeke who was nothing but a heap of torn flesh and fur, gasping for breath in a pool of blood. He was greatly unsatisfied with his work. Cringing, he turned back to the new foe that stood before him, hoping to take at least one life today. He waited for his ally to make the first move.

Zeke layed sprawled out in the dirt. With every breath he took, blood was sucked into his mouth from the dirt below him, staining his teeth. Everything around him was a blur, he heard a constant ringing, nothing else. He could not move but felt pain throughout his body. All he could do now was wait in a pool of his own blood.

[KingKivuli]

Simba braced himself it was a two on one fight, however by appearance they didnt look so dangerous. Kivuli then managed to summon the strength to speak Simba..... His voice was weak and so was his body Dont be fooled. They are so much stronger than they seem. The pride only did a little damage. It is those two that made us like this

Simba had turned hs head to hear Kivuli's words. A sudden look of shock appeared over the kings face as he turned back to face the intruders. How could these two beat Kivuli and Zeke Simba thought Kivuli held off my best lioneses and Zeke was pretty much even with me, these two must be really powerful, like Kivuli said Simba erased all traces of doubt in his mind and focused on the fight ahead, this was not going to be easy

Suddenly a familar voice was heard coming towards them Simba! The lions turned towards the direction of Priderock. It was Nala, arriving just at the right time You mess with Simba you mess with me and his pride Nala took her place by Simba and prepared to fight

Zane took a moment to review the situations, and came to one conclusion You must be dreaming if you think an old time king and his lazy old queen can stop us. As for this pride I fail to see where it is. Hokori lets deal with them With that Zane and Hokori advanced towards the King and Queen. Simba and Nala redided themselves

[Panda-chan]

"Maybe you can fight the king and queen together," a voice growled from behind them, "but you'll never beat us all!" Semira emerged from behind the bushes, accompanied by a dozen snarling lionesses. She watched the confident smile on Zane's face die on his lips at the sight of the enraged felines. The lionesses encircled the two intruders, trapping them. Semira bared her fangs at them. "Surrender now and we won't kill you. You're lucky I'm even giving you that choice after what you've done to our friends."

Amanda got up slowly, shielding her eyes against the glare of the sun with a trembing paw. This time she was fully aware of what was going on. She wasn't going to let herself faint a third time. Suddenly her ears caught voices coming from nearby. She dared to peek around the rock she'd been hidden behind to see where they were coming from. Nothing would have prepared her for the gruesome scene that awaited her.
It looked like Kivuli and Zeke had literally been shredded to pieces. Blood spilled freely through gaping wounds that covered their entire bodies. Amanda found herself surprised that they were even alive. Her eyes moved next to the two scary lions she'd seen before. The only difference was that this time they were pale as ghosts. They had reason to be, because surrounding them stood a dozen lionesses with bared teeth and unsheathed claws, as well as Simba, Nala, and her own mother, Semira.
The young cub knew it was best not to intervene. She sat down to watch what would happen next.

[KingKivuli]

Kivuli was still coincious of what was happening and heard what Semira had to say. She called him and Zeke friends. Those words warmed his heart. The hard headed lioness did care afterall. Bless you Semira He thought Im glad that you do care. Jst be careful
----------------------------
Simba was ready to stike at moments notice. So was Nala. Both sets of fangs and claws were out and willing. The whole pride was the same, ready for action. Simba spoke up Im giving you this one chance. Get out now or face your fate.

Zane realized there was no chance. He hated being beaten. now he was forced to run. Mark my words King. We will return, and when we do, you will not survived Zane ran off with the beaten up pridemembers following behind. The pridelanders relaxed. Nala took a close look at Kivuli and Zeke. They were bad, real bad she had never seen such horrible injurys before Simba! They are badly hurt we need to get them back as soon as we can

Simba had a look at the lions himself. Hi smate spoek true, they needed shelter and comfort quick. He turned to Semira HAve your lionesses carry them back Semira. Me and Nala are going to get food for them. Your incharge until I return With that the king and queen took off into the vast plains to do their hunting
