The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride Page #2

You'll understand some day.

Kovu, Kovu, Kovu.

Scar wasn't even his father.

He just took him in.

Hey, Vitani.

Where's the little termite Kovu?

The Chosen One.

Nuka, where's Kovu? Did you

leave him out there on his own again?

It's every lion for himself out here.

That termite's gotta learn to be on his own.

Mother's gonna be mad.

She told you to watch him.

Who cares?

I should've been the chosen one.

I'm the oldest, I'm the strongest,

I'm the smartest... Oh, these termites!

I could be a leader

if she'd just give me a chance.

Yeah, right. Why don't you tell that to her?

Yeah? Don't think I won't.

- Oh, yeah? Here's your chance.

- What? Oh, Mother. Mother, hi.

Mother, I caught some field mice

for your dinner. I left them by the... OK.

Hey, Kovu.

Wanna fight?

You were supposed to be watching him!

It's not his fault.

I went off on my own.

- What were you doing?

- Nothing.

- Who has made us Outsiders?

- Simba.

- Who killed Scar?

- Simba.

What have I told you about them?

I'm sorry, Mother.

She didn't seem so bad.

- I thought we could be...

- Friends?

You thought you'd get to the daughter

and Simba would welcome you

with open arms?

What an idea!

What an idea.

You brilliant child.

I'm so proud of you.

You have the same conniving mind

that made Scar so powerful.

Bah! Chosen One...

I now see the path

to our glorious return to power.

- But I don't want...

- Hush!

Hush, my little one.

You must be exhausted.

Sleep, my little Kovu

Let your dreams take wing

One day when you're big and strong

You will be a king

- Good night.

- Good night, my little prince.

Tomorrow your training intensifies.

I've been exiled, persecuted,

Left alone with no defence

When I think of what that brute did,

I get a little tense

But I dream a dream so pretty

That I don't feel so depressed

Cos it soothes my inner kitty

And it helps me get some rest

The sound of Simba's dying gasp

His daughter squealing in my grasp

His lioness's mournful cry

That's my lullaby

Now the past I've tried forgetting

And my foes I could forgive

Trouble is I know it's petty

But I hate to let them live

So you found yourself somebody

who'll chase Simba up a tree

Oh, the battle may be bloody

But that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls

A counterpoint of painful howls

A symphony of death, oh my...

That's my lullaby

Scar is gone, but Zira's still around

To love this little lad

Till he learns to be a killer

With a lust for being bad

Sleep, you little termite.

I mean, precious little thing

One day when you're big and strong

You will be a king

The pounding of the drums of war

The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar

- The joy of vengeance

- Testify

- I can hear the cheering

- Kovu, what a guy

Payback time is nearing

And then our flag will fly

Against a blood-red sky

That's my lullaby

Oh, Mufasa,

every day Kiara grows more beautiful,

into a queen that will some day

make us all very proud.

But this cub Kovu grows stronger

and Zira fills his heart with hate.

I'm very worried, Mufasa.

Things are not going well, no.

Mm? You have a plan?

What?

Kovu. Kiara. Together?

This is the plan?

Are you crazy?

This will never work.

Oh, Mufasa, you've been up there

too long. Your head is in the clouds.

OK, OK, OK, OK. All right, OK!

I don't think this is going to work,

but I trust you.

I just hope you know what you are doing.

You are ready.

Nice. Very nice.

You have the same blackness in your soul

that Scar had. What is your destiny?

I will avenge Scar.

- Take his place in the Pridelands.

- Yes. What have I taught you?

Simba is the enemy.

And what must you do?

I must kill him.

You must be so proud, Nala.

This is Kiara's first hunt.

There she is.

Kiara.

- You can do it.

- It's your day.

- Your first time.

- My, how you've grown.

You'll do just fine.

Daddy? You have to promise

to let me do this on my own. Promise?

All right. I promise.

Make sure she doesn't get hurt.

This place is even creepier

since the hyenas ran off.

Oh, sheesh.

I'm not scared, OK?

I just don't know why we have to be here,

that's all.

If Kovu is so special,

why does he need us?

I never even had a chance...

That's it. Come on. Kiara has started

her hunt. We have to move quickly.

Yah! Fire!

Tango Charlie Alpha, what's your position?

Uhh... upright.

Head turned slightly to the left. Tail erect.

Why do I bother?

This must be

where the deer and the antelope play.

Timon, what are you doing here?

Uh, shopping. We thought a nice pelt for

the den, throw pillows, a little potpourri...

My father sent you. After he promised

to let me do this on my own. He lied!

No. He just doesn't want you to get hurt.

I should've known

he'd never give me a real chance.

I'll do this on my own -

away from the Pridelands.

- Hey, wait. Come back!

- Come back here! Kiara!

Kiara, come back!

Oh, she's gone again!

Somebody's gotta get a beeper for this kid.

Let's light fires!

Roasty toasty princess

Roasty toasty princess

Hey, is it hot in here or is that just me?

Fire!

Come on!

The plan is in motion.

Go!

Don't worry, Simba, she'll be fine.

What could happen?

No. No! Kiara!

Zazu, fly ahead. Find her.

Huh?

I must tell Simba!

- Where am I?

- You're safe in the Pridelands.

The Pridelands? No. Why did you

bring me here? Who do you think you are?

I think I'm the one that just saved your life.

- I had everything under control.

- Not from where I'm standing.

Then move downwind.

What are you doing?

Kovu?

Kiara!

Kiara, you're all right.

Father, how could you

break your promise?

It's a good thing I did. I almost lost you.

No more hunts for you, not ever.

But I was doing just fine.

Even before Kovu...

Kovu?

Simba!

Hey, you! How dare you

save the king's daughter?

- You saved her? Why?

- I humbly ask to join your pride.

No. You were banished

with the other Outsiders.

I have left the Outsiders. I'm a rogue.

Judge me now for who I am.

Or am I to be blamed

for a crime I didn't commit?

Simba, you owe him your daughter's life.

Yes, sire. Clearly we are in his debt,

and royal protocol demands

that all debts be paid.

Though in this case

you might want to make an exception.

My father's law will prevail.

For now I reserve judgment.

We'll see who you really are.

Hm! Riffraff.

Thanks for saving me today.

What kind of hunter are you anyway,

Princess?

- You almost got yourself killed out there.

- What?

- You wouldn't last three days on your own.

- Oh. And I suppose you could teach me?

Well, yeah.

- Kiara!

- Coming!

All right. Impress me.

We start at dawn.

I'll look forward to it.

Did you see that? He let her go!

If that were me...

Hush. The fire rescue worked perfectly

and Simba fell for it.

Now the closer Kovu gets to the daughter,

the closer he gets to Simba.

And once he has Simba alone...

Simba! Simba!

- Help me!

- Father!

No! Dad!

Just a little farther...
