"Lions don't often give birth near the pride, so maybe Zira went off on her own to find somewhere safe away from the hyenas to give birth. A few days/weeks/whatever later, Scar comes to visit her and makes Kovu is his heir, regardless if he's his or not (Maybe Zira lied and said he is because he's the same colour...ish)
When Scar returned he found out that Sarabi and the other lionesses hadn't been hunting or hadn't found anything on there last hunt...so Scar hits her...and the you know what happens from here

But Zira had some friends who were loyal to Scar and they got angry with Simba...who kicked them out...and on the way to the outlands they found Zira...who made herself their Queen?"
Anyway, I thought I should turn it into a comic!!
So, here's page 1-5
