Plot[]

(Back at Pride Rock, Simba watch over the Pride Lands through an edge as Kiara walk up to her father to check on him)

Kiara: Hey dad, how's being the king is doing for you?
Simba: Pretty delightful.
Kiara: It feels good to be king, right?
Simba: And you too, are princess.
Nala: *walk to the edge* Simba, great seeing you.
Simba: Hi Nala. Did you check on the cubs on where they going?
Nala: The cubs are going with their parents to the Watering Hole to have a nice fresh drink of water. Also, the moles are digging tunnels for their new holes to make space for the babies.
Simba: That's what the Circle of Life is for.
Vitani: *show up* Simba, the kids have returned.
Simba: Ah. Good timing. What happen?
Vitani: You don't know what is like down there. Also, the meerkats, Pumbaa and Zazu are back with them.
Simba: Show us.

(The meerkats, Pumbaa, Zazu, Subira and Jengo return to the Pride Lands as the Pridelanders head down Pride Rock to check on the gang)

Simba: You guys are back. What happen? What's wrong? Are you worried about an accident that caused them to get hurt?
Kiara: Oh no.
Zazu: Simba and Kiara, the cubs have returned.
Kovu: What happen? Subira, tell us.
Vitani: Jengo, are you okay?
Jengo: We were chased by bad lions.
Everyone: *shocked*
Simba: Bad lions? Kids, we need to talk about this. You guys are not suppose to leave the Pride Lands all by yourself, even without an adult and back there, is filled with danger and risk.
Timon: Tell us. We thought the hyenas would be running around in circles to catch a cub for breakfast.
Vitani: We should have explain more about our world. But, this is going to put the Pridelanders on risk.
Nala: I'll explain better Vitani. Back there, is a fought of must and danger. You should never go to these danger areas around the Pride Lands. This is disrespecting the Circle of Life and all of us that connect within the sacred circle.
Simba: You heard your grandmother Subira.
Subira: I heard.
Simba: The Outlands is a dangerous place for explain. Most of our Pridelanders were exiled for being royal to Uncle Scar when he first took over the Pride Lands. After Scar's defeat, i exile many of them for being loyal to Scar and trying to hurt our Pridelanders. Zira was one of the Outlanders in the Outlands.
Kovu: We did have a war in the end, right?
Simba: That was a month ago. Your pride reform and side with us, but your mother didn't.
Kovu: What about my brother Nuka?
Simba: *sigh* He's dead.
Vitani: He wouldn't like to see us join with the Pridelanders with a scary face if he was still living.
Kiara: He never make it with mother.
Kovu: Crushed by logs.
???: *laugh in the rocks* You see what's going on.
Simba: Rafiki?
Rafiki: It is me. Your apprentice! How are we doing today guys?
Kovu: Fine.
Kiara: It's not fine. My cub and Vitani's cub were put in danger.
Jengo: It was a accident, I swear.
Vitani: Jengo, you better keep your mouth shut. Think about what you have done today.
Kiara: You too Subira.
Subira: Okay.
Pumbaa: Jeez, these cubs don't look so good.
Timon: They met bad lions. Bad lions. You know what I mean.
Mody: Fierce lions from the other prides.
Dacey: Bad luck, I say.
Rafiki: Simba, is anything I can do for you.
Simba: The kids need a lesson. Where can we take them for a lesson about the strange and dangers of the world?
Rafiki: I know a place where.
Simba: If it going to be at your tree, it will be a long way from here.
Rafiki: Not on my tree. Come on. To the back of Pride Rock.
Zazu: Where are you taking us Rafiki?
Rafiki: You'll see when we arrive.

(The Pridelanders walk into the back of Pride Rock as they head inside of the training room, going through the bushes as they meet up with a lion with a brown mane and light brown and yellow fur)

Rafiki: Kopa, i brought the Pridelanders in for the training room.
Kopa: Hello Jengo.
Jengo: Daddy! *cuddle his dad*
Kopa: *pat Jengo* My son. I haven't seen you all day.
Vitani: Kopa, you won't like this. Jengo was with the strange lions and they tried to kill him.
Kopa: What?! Jengo, what were you thinking?
Jengo: I was trying to be brave like you.
Kopa: My father tried to be brave as his dad when he defeated his childhood friend from the hyenas back at the Elephant Graveyard.
Nala: It was a very long time since we faced those hyenas in a place no one ever wanted to go.
Simba: I hated that place. I even laugh in the face of danger, Ha ha ha ha!
Kiara: You mean laughing in the fear of danger? Ha ha ha ha.
Simba: Good one Kiara.
Kopa: Rafiki, what brings you here?
Rafiki: Oh, i got something to tell for the cubs. Even you guys can join along if you may.
Timon: Thank you.
Pumbaa: Glad we could help.
Rafiki: If there anything i can do for all of you guys today.
Subira: When Pumbaa farted the bad lions out of the Gorge, i heard one of them were going back to some pride called the Asis Pride.
Simba: Asis Pride?
Kovu: *shocked* No. It cannot be.
Timon: Who's Asis?
Vitani: You don't wanna know what is on the Asis Pride.
Zazu: Oh wow. Now you even going to put the Pride Lands into more danger all because of all one pride you heard and scared of.
Kopa: I don't know what that is.
Rafiki: Asis Pride? Never heard of it. I may have heard about other prides like the Night Pride and the Outlands. Especially the Back Lands, you know it's not just all lions. But zebras living in harmony and peace to every other animal with joy and love.
Kiara: Like Upendi.
Timon: And Hakuna Matata.
Mody: The motto is, "It mean no worries."
Dacey: For the rest of your days. Also, what is the Asis Pride actually?
Vitani: You guys never heard of the Asis Pride before. We're going to have you guys learn everything about the Asis Pride. But we need to inform you about the dangers of the Pride Lands.
Jengo: Dangers, first. Then the Asis Pride.
Vitani: Good. Rafiki, show the dangers to the cubs.
Rafiki: You always know every time you walk into the Pride Lands, you see a predator. That predator is the enemy.
Simba: It could be a hyena, a jackal, a crocodile, or a cape dog.
Nala: Never seen a Cape Dog pass through.
Rafiki: From lion to zebra, lion to antelope, anteater to ants, meerkats to grubs.
Timon: That's us.
Rafiki: Warthog to worm and birds to bugs.
Pumbaa: Remember when a lion chased me into the jungle?
Nala: *annoyed about her past* Pumbaa!
Pumbaa: Sorry. Excuse me.
Zazu: You always encounter risky moments like earthquakes, pit sand.
Simba: It's actually quicksand.
Zazu: Quicksand. Rock falling from the mountains, mud traps, booby traps, sharp rocks and every kind of traps a Pridelander would not face to seek into their traps.
Kopa: Bullying may be a part of the situation. But you always gotta stand up to a bully.
Simba: I stand up to the hyenas once. My father Mufasa beat them off with a big scare.
Pumbaa: I may run away from other animals who dislike my gas odor, but i'll always fight a bully and predator back!
Mody: Thank you! We were just getting nervous.
Rafiki: Rafiki got everything to teach you all about the dangers.
Dacey: And now with the Asis Pride? I've been waiting for you guys to talk about it for like a minute.
Vitani: Okay. The Asis Pride is one of the most fiercest prides in the savanna's history.
Kopa: What about it Vitani?
Kiara: What it's like back there?
Kovu: Oh. Our mother used to live in the Asis Pride.
Everyone: What?
Simba: Is it true Kovu?
Kovu: Yes majesty. Zira was one of the Asislanders. The Asislanders were living in peace, fighting back against one of the most deadly predators in the savanna. The Asis Pride was filled with rocks, stones and boulders alike.
Vitani: It's bigger than the Outlands.
Subira: But the lions we met from the Asis Pride were bad lions.
Kopa: Oh Subira. There is always good lions and bad lions in this world. Some may be nice, some are not.
Vitani: Bad lions may even try to steal your food and crumble you up in ashes.
Nala: That's what bad lions are for.
Jengo: So does this means, not every one of you is a good lion?
Kovu: No no. We're all good. Except...for mother and my brother.
Simba: They should have learn their own ways before facing their deaths.
Subira: Where is the Asis Pride located in?
Rafiki: How do you want to know? You want to go to the Asis Pride to catch up with those lions? Stranger danger.
Jengo: We just want to go and check out how the pride is like.
Rafiki: Oh, no no no. You must never go there. This pride could be dangerous as the Outlands. No matter who rule the Asis Pride, it's better off ignoring the other pride and focus on where we are.
Subira: We should take a look on how the other lions in that pride behave like us.
Simba: Subira. We're not going on a field trip. You're staying in here and that's final.
Kopa: Rules are rules kiddo. You either like it here or not.
Subira: But why?
Nala: Simba is the king. He make the rules for the lions and all the animals in the Pride Lands, not just for one person like Zazu.
Zazu: That's right. A king never turn its back on its people.
Simba: Even when Scar tried to turn his back on us, he refused to step down. Same with Zira not wanting to join us after the war. Fighting in a war is a mistake between the two prides.
Rafiki: The king make the choice, not us.
Vitani: We Outsiders are now with you guys. You can call us Pridelanders anytime you want.
Simba: I got your back Vitani.
Jengo: You're not going to explain more on the Asis Pride?
Kiara: It's better best not to worry about the pride you should never heard of.
Subira: We heard a little, duh.
Kiara: Just don't. No lion have ever went to another pride, even if the prides are dangerous or not.
Kovu: The Outlands became even creepier since we Outsiders ran out of here.
Vitani: It's filled with termites and ants. Bleh! Never going back there where my resting spot was made with mud and gooey clay.
Rafiki: Thanks for coming. Would you like to explain more about life?
Simba: No thank you. I think we're fine for not.
Rafiki: Just checking by.
Zazu: Back to our business!
Kopa: Good day, sir.
Zazu: You too.
Subira: *eye rolled* It's just one of those days.

(Moments later after the short meeting, Subira and Jengo sit on the rock where they watch the cubs taking their bath with the lionesses licking the cubs on the heads while some cubs play in the field by catching butterflies)

Subira: I don't get this at all.
Jengo: How can a pride be more dangerous when you got many bad lions on one side to another.
Subira: It's just doesn't make any sense to me. They should have just apologized.
Jengo: Subira, they are no good. They just wanna pull a trick on us like throwing durt on ostrich's faces.
Subira: One day when i become queen, i'm gonna rule Pride Rock and teach those bullies a lesson.
Jengo: Isn't it possible for a queen to rule with full power?
Subira: Duh. I'll be the first queen to rule the Pride Lands as a whole.
Jengo: You know the king is the leader and have full power. Some animals say Mufasa is like the best king of the Pride Lands. But i think Simba done much better than Mufasa.
Subira: It's not good to tell when a new king done better than a former king who is recently deceased.
Jengo: Sorry about that. I didn't want to upset the Great Kings of the Past up in the sky.
Timon: *pop out of the ground* Pssst, kids. Come here.
Subira: Timon? What are you doing down here?
Jengo: We can't dig tunnels. We're lions, not meerkats.
Timon: I know you're not meerkats. I want you over at the tree so we can have a talk with you two.
Subira: Are we in trouble or something?
Timon: No. Just come over at the tree. We're gonna have a little meeting with you two.
Subira: Um, okay.
Jengo: Oh well. Hakuna Matata.

(Subira, Jengo and Timon catch up with Pumbaa, Mody and Dacey on the tree side, having a meeting with their little secret)

Timon: You wonder why we're here for.
Subira: Are we going out?
Pumbaa: Yes. How do you know?
Jengo: I thought you were mad at us.
Pumbaa: Zazu made me look angry to you when we stop you from being chased by those bad lions.
Mody: We're going somewhere.
Subira: Ooh. Is it Hakuna Matata?
Dacey: Nope.
Jengo: Is it Upendi?
Timon: Nah. You're too young to fall in love.
Pumbaa: We're going to the Asis Pride.
Subira: What? No. Simba told us we're not allowed to go there. If we ever go there, he'll kill us.
Timon: Ha! Why would Simba kill you for going to the Asis Pride? Simba never kill a good animal for going to bad places like the Elephant Graveyard.
Pumbaa: He's just going to be upset at you. Also, you'll be in time out to sit in the time out rock.
Mody: Otherwise, he'll exile you.
Jengo: We can't be exiled. We're too young.
Dacey: One day, when you grow up. Something's bad gonna hit at you and you're gonna hit at them back.
Subira: So are we going to the Asis Pride or what?
Timon: Oh yes. I know where the Asis Pride is.
Jengo: You know?
Timon: *sigh* I have a long history with the Asis Pride. It's far from my old colony. My grandparents visit there many times and one of their friends were killed by Scavengers.
Subira and Jengo: Scavengers?
Mody: Dead meat.
Timon: They told my parents to not go through the Asis Pride. Someone was accused of killing and we were exposed. Then we have to dig deeper and down to prevent the big bad king from digging and trying to destroy our beautiful colony. When i became an adult, i ruined it even more that i have to leave my colony behind to find my place i always wanted to go.
Subira: You found your place when you left?
Timon: It was the jungle. The same place where your grandfather went and me and Pumbaa raised him until the day he become an adult.
Mody: Kids grow up too fast.
Dacey: Big boys and big girls.
Timon: I'm going to show you the Asis Pride right away as we follow along.
Subira: I hope one of the Pridelanders doesn't see us leave.
Jengo: No worries Subira. They won't catch us like bees.
Pumbaa: Here we go. *walk with his gang*
Timon: This is the second start of a beautiful... acquaintanceship, right?
Pumbaa: Sure indeed.
Timon: I'm getting flashbacks, am i?
Mody: Of course not.
Timon: Mody, give me a break.
Mody: You're killing me, are you?
Timon: No!
Mody: Whatever.

(Meanwhile far from the Pride Lands, the three strange lions return to the Asis Pride, walking through the rocks and meeting up with the king, with a rough face as the queen walk up to check on the boys)

Aamori: What bring you here boys?
Strange Lion #1: It was a wild hunt.
Strange Lion #2: Killing is fun, isn't it? *laugh*
Bakari: I do not make jokes in here. How was your hunt?
Strange Lion #3: We didn't hunt that much.
Strange Lion #1: A warthog farted at us with a big tuff nose.
Bakari: Precisely. I deemed your hunt to be successful. It was a failure. Oh my lord. What could i say? You couldn't even hunt a zebra and you couldn't even kill a bird on the nest. Do i make myself clear?
Strange Lion #2: Yes King Bakari, we regret.
Strange Lion #3: We surrender.
Bakari: Boys, get rid of them. Out of my Asis Pride!
Tough Lions: *growl and roar at the strange lions*
Strange Lions: *scream and run from the tough lions chasing back at them*
Bakari: Oh Aamori. It doesn't get too hard to turn back a pride like making piles of rocks fall from the tower.
Aamori: It doesn't get any better than this.
Bakari: On the news recently, the Pride Lands have been restored back to harmony, the Outlands seem abandon and the other Prides are struggling to collide with a clash since the pride migrations.
Aamori: You'll always watching your pride.
Bakari: Yes. *look at his pride* I am always looking. Look at the pride. Look beyond what you see. Show your people who they are.
Aamori: Are you talking to yourself again?
Bakari: No! They are born to be Asislanders. The king never stood his back on the pride. At all times! *roar in the sky*

(With Subira's group, the gang is walking through the sand as they tend to stop and take a break from walking)

Pumbaa: Did a hear a roar around here?
Jengo: I didn't hear anything.
Subira: Let's take a break, shall we?
Timon: Oh come on. We just started walking on our journey.
Mody: We're far away from the Pride Lands now.
Pumbaa: Simba's gonna get real mad. And blame us.
Dacey: We can't be banished if we tell a lie on him.
Timon: No. We'll say, we have fun at the jungle. That's all. There are no hornbills flying all over the place to keep an eye on us like monkeys.
Jengo: *sit on the sand* Just like your brain.
Mody: Heh. It was a cinch at least.
Jengo: Maybe you'll have a break with a little bath.
Mody: Bath? Do i even have to take a shower?
Jengo: *grab Mody* You'll see. *lick Mody*
Mody: Whoa! Ah! Stop it! Stop licking me! I am not a mouse! Get off me you kitty cub!
Jengo: You look so clean when i lick you. *continue licking Mody*
Mody: Ah! Help me!
Timon: I'm getting memories of Simba licking me when he was a small cub.
Pumbaa: Parenthood was a lot of work.
Mody: *get off Jengo* Okay, i had enough!
Dacey: Let's just keep going.
Jengo: *stand up* The adventure continues.
Subira: We'll reach to the Asis Pride as soon as possible.
Timon: No map. All you need is some thinking to get to the place you want to go.
Pumbaa: It's all good. Come on!

(As the gang continue walking through the sand, they reach through the rocks, passing by rock bumps and stepping on the ground out of the sand)

Pumbaa: I'm seeing sharp rocks in here.
Timon: Does this means, we're in the beach?
Mody: No. It doesn't look like the beach to me.
Dacey: It never was.
Subira: We're stepping on the ground.
Jengo: Yeah. It can't be a beach if the ground is not sand.
Timon: Holy moly, we found the Asis Pride at last!
Subira: Wow.
Jengo: So cool.
Timon: Here we are. Welcome to the Asis Pride. The pride that no one have ever been to.
Jengo: I wonder what it's like out there.
Timon: Who knows. Maybe the lions there are nicer than the Outlanders.
Pumbaa: I'll say, we'll take a look!
Subira: How long we are going to be in the Asis Pride for?
Pumbaa: When we stop touring around, we'll stop.
Mody: We head back to the Pride Lands where we go to Pride Rock.
Subira: It's going to be a ride.
Dacey: Don't get your high hopes up.

(As the gang enter the Asis Pride, the gang look around in the rocks and dens were lions are seen resting, playing and standing on the rocks to look around)

Timon: These lions are watching us.
Pumbaa: How far are we walking?
Subira: I don't know. It's a whole new world to me.
Jengo: This is where the three lions live when they first chased us in the Gorge.
Timon: Don't call back when we rescue your butts out of the Gorge from those meanies.
Mody: Look at the maze they have!
Dacey: A maze?
Mody: Take a look for yourself. We'll have a nice run with it.
Pumbaa: Race ya!
Timon: It's not a race Pumbaa. We're exploring.
Pumbaa: My bad.

(The gang went over to the rock maze, only to be spied by Bakari on the top of the rocks)

Bakari: Those far-walkers came out of nowhere.
Aamori: Are you sure they're not Outsiders?
Bakari: They don't look like to me. One of them are rats, a pig and two lion cubs.
Aamori: The cubs look cute, don't they?
Bakari: Far-walkers. How much i despise them. *scratch a rock out* Wait 'til you make trouble and come to my lair as a result.

(The gang walk around in the maze, looking out for each other)

Timon: That is one big wall over here.
Pumbaa: Dead end mate.
Timon: Other way!
Subira: Can't see me.
Jengo: I know you're in there Subira.
Subira: You're just playing yourself.
Jengo: How do i want to know?
Subira: You're not fast for nothing.
Jengo: I am faster than a speedy honey badger.
Subira: Wrong! The cheetah is faster by its spot.
Jengo: Take a leopard for example.
Subira: Or a jaguar.
Jengo: Ha!
Mody: This look like a good picture for a meerkat.
Dacey: Face it brother. We're always lost in mazes.
Mody: What? *try to dig on the ground* It won't dig. The ground is frozen in solid.
Dacey: We're on the ground!
Mody: It's made of rocks!
Dacey: Now you split the group up and made our own group lost.
Mody: But we gotta find them.
Dacey: Stop putting the team on risk and get to work on looking for our friends.
Mody: I hate doing this brother. It's always like we're playing tag in a secret.
Dacey: Tag, tag man. It's worse than hide and seek.
Subira: Did we get rid of them?
Jengo: We're ahead of the meerkats and warthog.
Subira: It's feel kinda strange we're out of our own pride.
Jengo: I wonder what Simba will think of this when we see us disappear.
Subira: Meh. Nobody cares about the Asis Pride. We're proud to be Pridelanders.
Jengo: Like a eagle watching over the lands.
???: *spy on Subira and Jengo in a rock*
Subira: They say, "Aw, who's the big girl." I say, "You are just a goody good lion cub."
Jengo: I'm going to be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
???: *pound Jengo* Pound! You're tag!
Jengo: Hey, get off me! What is wrong with you.
Subira: Back off my- *her nose touch the lion cub's nose, first meeting in sight* Oh, sorry.
???: Sorry about that.
Subira: I didn't mean to touch your nose. What's your name?
???: Why do i want to know when you first met a lion? I'm Dogo.
Subira: Dogo?
Dogo: Yes. Dogo's my name. Playing is my game.
Jengo: Will you get off me? You're getting on my nerves.
Dogo: Oh, sorry. I thought you were a brownie. *get off Dogo*
Jengo: And people say, they mistake me for a jelly bean.
Subira: I'm not a bit of a candy lion. What are you up to?
Dogo: My parents made some cooked steak for me. Also, i don't like hunting animals.
Subira: Come on Dogo. We're lions. Lions are suppose to hunt for animals, not play with them and get away from their causes. It's part of the Circle of Life.
Dogo: The Circle of Life? Like the circle of lines?
Jengo: You know why the Great Spirit is up there and trying to control us all like insects.
Dogo: Who are you guys anyways?
Subira: I'm Subira.
Jengo: Jengo.
Dogo: Great seeing you Subira and Dogo. Are you from the Asis Pride or you're not originally from here?
Subira: We're from another pride. Far away from yours.
Jengo: The lions back there from our pride are always upset about the other pride's actions.
Dogo: I see your point. I'm going back home for now. There's nothing much to be seen.
Subira: Oh, no. We can come with you any time.
Dogo: My parents don't like strangers coming into my den. Unless my friends can come over.
Jengo: Well we're friends.
Dogo: Friends? All right, if you say so.
Subira: Let's go to the den.
Jengo: Yeah!
Dogo: Come along. I hope the bullies aren't here to block our way from moving in.
Subira: I'm sure no bullies are on the way to block the entrances.
Dogo: Good sight. *walk out of the maze with Subira and Jengo*
