An Unpleasant Reunion

Everyone was shocked to see Zira back in the Pridelands. Zira ignored this and fixed her hate-filled red eyes on Vitani. She came close to the younger lioness, causing Mheetu to snarl and growl.

“Hello dear, do you remember me?” she said in a mocking tone.

“How could I forget you…Aunt Zira,” Vitani retorted in a tone dripping with contempt.

Zira snarled.

“How dare you?!” she said, raising her paw to strike.

It was then that Simba stepped in.

“Aunt Zira…” he said.

“Simba…” she replied.

Zira then looked Simba over, and then looked at him with mock sympathy.

“Such a handsome lion you’ve become. It’s too bad that I have to kill you,” she said.

Simba frowned.

“This isn’t the way you truly feel. I sense it,” he said.

Zira shook her head.

“Believe me, Simba. It is. I intend to carry out Scar and I’s original plan!” she declared.

Simba continued looking at her.

“I know the truth. The truth is that you were once Bianca, the lioness who married Uncle Scar. It’s the part of yourself that you’ve forgotten,” he stated.

Zira growled.

“That name means nothing to me! Bianca is dead, do you hear me?!” she shouted.

Simba looked down sadly.

“We are finished here,” he said as he began to walk away with his family and pride members.

Zira grinned wickedly.

“Oh no, Simba. We have only begun!” she replied.

She and the other Outlanders then left. Zira looked to the skies.

“Scar my beloved, I will soon avenge you,” she said quietly.

Her attentions then turned to Kovu, who had just fallen asleep.

“Sleep tight, my prince. One day, when you’re bigger and stronger, you will be a king,” she said.

She then fell asleep herself, Shetani cuddled in her paws. A faint smile could be seen on her face as she dreamed of a bloody and gruesome death for Simba.

Nicely written! I just have one thing to point out: (I do hope this doesn't sound rude) Kovu was fairly big and strong by the time Shetani was born...

[KingKovu44]

Ok thanks. By bigger and stronger, Zira meant when Kovu was full size and had a full mane.

[Maleficent]

Wow, nice work here. Everyone is perfectly IC. You're a very talented writer...is there going to be more? I like reading Zira stuff.

[KingKovu44]

Nah, these are all oneshots. I'm planning to get into chapter fics again by writing video game parodies.

[Maleficent]

Ah, I see. That will be neat. Keep up the great writing!

[KingKovu44]

I'm pretty excited. My first work will be a spoof of the 2002 game "Star Fox Adventures" starring Simba, and then a parody of the PS2 game series "Sly Cooper" starring Kovu.

[Maleficent]

Wow, those sound great! I'm excited to read them! I like Kovu a lot. Please let me know when you've posted one, I'd love to read it!

[KingKovu44]

Well, the spoof of Star Fox is already up, though it only contains the short intro for now. I'm working on the first of the actual story right now.

[Maleficent]

Oh, I'll go read it!
