The moment Simba's voice filled the room, Kovu slinked out from his hiding place into veiw of the prince, his head hung in shame as he stood there. "Hi....Simba." The young theif said, guilt as clear as plan as the scar on Simba's uncle.

"Tisk tisk tisk Kovu." Imon Phire spoke as he appeared. His invisibility cloak turning visible as he stood there with a dagger. " Kovu, kovu, kovu. I give you a simple task, steal from simba so he takes pity on you and takes you and those two who pretended to be your parents into the palace and steal the Five fingers of discontent." Imon sighed. "But now I have to kill you my son, after all the only way to remove that guantlent is to kill the wearer, just like the rest of the legendary tools of the theif set which I wear." Imon said as he picked Kovu up and held him by the neck as gave him a scar across his eye. "Now die." Imon Phire said as he lifted a dagger up to kill him.

Simba handed the lamp to Eden, asking her to hold it for him as he dealt with the strange intruder. "Put him down, by order of the prince of Agrabah!" he stated.

Vitani grabbed a golden shield, and slipped around a few piles of treasure with everyone focused on Kovu. As she reached Imon and Kovu from another side she also spotted a sword. She picked it up and struck Imon with the shield causing him to drop Kovu.

"Kovu here!" said Vitani.

She tossed the sword and shield to Kovu, before ducking behind a pile of treasure.

Imon snarled as Vitani struck him with a sheild as Kovu dropped the sheild and sword and ran towards Simba. " Die street rat!" He yelled in anger as Imon threw the sword at Kovu. Kovu ducked but saw as the sword headed towards simba. "No!" He crired reaching out with the gauntlet as the sword stopped mid air, turned around and flew towards Imon Phire, Lopping his head clean off. His corpes fell to the ground as the Theives set he wore vanished before re appearing on Kovu, only smaller. Kovu looked at himself. He wore the legendary theives set. the flying shoes of saluk, the cloak of invisibility, the pouch of plentiful packing space, in other words a small pouch able to expand and store an infininate amount of things, and the spirit sash, which could make the wearer pass through solid matter at will. Kovu ran into simba and Tackled him in a hug. "I'm so sorry simba." He repeated as tears flooded down his fearful eyes, one of which was scared forever. Kovu knew Simba would want answers.

Vitani came out from her hiding place, confused.

"Is what he said true? Did you just come here to rob us?" asked Vitani.

[KingKovu44]

Simba was horrified. "Kovu, please, tell me everything. That way, I can know how to help you," he said.

Kovu dried up his tears and looked at simba. "I was true. I was sent here to steal this gauntlet and that lamp." He said pointing to the two items. Imon Phire wanted to use the lamp to make himself immortal and ageless so he could steal and kill forever. He found me on the street and took me in, tauht me how to steal, and he also said if I failed, I'd die." He said. "Imon figured you'd take pity on me cause I'm a kid, so he had be steal from you the day we met, then you brought me and the two people he forced to pose as my parents into the palace. " Kovu said. " He said if I got that Gennie's lamp, I could wish for a real family that woul love me and stuff. When Razoul caught me, Imon killed the two who posed as my parents, and treatened to kill me too." Kovu explained to Simba as his eyes teared up again. "Imon wanted the guntlet to complete the legendary theives set, a set of Items to make him the greatest theif ever, and the only way to remove any of the items is to kill the wearer." Kovu explained.

"This day gets weirder and weirder. First flying carpet, then a thief, now a Genie's lamp. Was he the only one? He doesn't have an army waiting to attack if he doesn't show up right?" said Vitani.

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked at Vitani. "Genie's lamp? I thought this was just a regular oil lamp," he said. He then turned back to Kovu. "Please, Kovu, don't do something like this again. It will jeopardize your chances of being adopted by my family," he said. By now, he was ready to leave. "Well, let's go. I want to show everyone what I found and then get to bed for the start of the trip to Fayiz tomorrow," he said.

[Sixshot1988]

Kovu nodded. " I promise, but please don't tell anyone what I just told you." He begged as he let go and stood at simba's side. " All you gotta do is rub the lamp to call the genie." He said with a smile. It would seem he wouldn't need the lamp after all to get a real family. Kovu just hoped the worst was behind them, and it would be smooth sailing from hear on out.
