Many years after the defeat of Scar and the revival of the Pride Lands, Simba becomes king and everything is now the way it was before. Nothing changed until that night. A human family struggled in their yacht during a big storm. After struggling with strong winds and blows to stay alive, they ended up in the river in the Pride Lands and landed the yacht there. In order to survive, the father would go and find food for himself, his wife, his teenage daughter and his newborn son. Meanwhile, in the Pride Lands, it is the presentation of Kion, Kopa and Kiara's youngest brother and fellow litter-mate and all of the animals gathered to see their new prince. Rafiki, the high priest, advisor and shaman of the Pride Lands held the cub in the air for all to see and the animals let out a great cheer. Two days later, Celestia and Luna, the co-leaders and queens of their own pride of lions and Simba's most trusted guardians are guarding the northern border from Zira and her pride of Outsiders, a group of lions who follow Scar, the late Mufasa's evil brother and Simba's uncle.

Celestia: This is strange, Luna. Zira and her pride haven't been heard from for many days.

Luna: Indeed, who knows what they're up to.

Suddenly, a shriek and a gunshot was heard from the riverside. Celestia and Luna pounced into the eastern part of the Pirde Lands and when they reach the banks of the Mara River, they saw the yacht where the human family live.

Celestia: It's a man's leaf rider.

The lionesses entered the yacht where they saw a rifle on the floor and a trail of blood. They spotted bloodied pawprints of a lion. Celestia knew who could've done it for this bloodied pawprints looks familiar.

Celestia: Zira!

Luna: What happened here?

Celestia: Zira and her pride had killed man and this is the reason why Simba had banished them in the first place. For their devotion for Scar, poaching and killing man.

Luna: That monster, just like Scar.

Celestia: Zira is as evil as her husband, Scar is. We'd better find the survivors before she does.

All of a sudden, the lionesses heard a lusty cry somewhere inside the yacht. It came from a crib in the so Celestia looked closer just in time to find out that the cry came from a human baby boy.

Luna: What have you found?

Celestia: It's a man-cub.

Luna: This one must've lost its parents because of Zira.

Celestia: It is true, we have to go now before it's midnight.

Meanwhile, Rafiki was drawing a picture of Simba and Nala's Cubs, Kope, Kiara and Kion beside Simba's on the trunk of his tree.

Rafiki: Oh, Mufasa, two princes and a princess, Kopa, Kiara and Kion are born and the circle of life is complete."

But the wind blew and wiped away the circle.

"What is it?" Rafiki asked and he spotted leaves blowing in the wind. The mandrill picks them up and sniffs it. It is a scent of man. He reaches for the empty turtle shell, threw the leaves in, shook it and took a good look.

Rafiki: A man-cub? The third prince is here?

The strong wind blows softly.

Rafiki: Okay, I will bless him just like I did to his siblings.

The lionesses went off to Pride Rock with the man cub, who is carried in its blankets on Luna's mouth like how she carries her sister's adoptive daughter, Creative Spirit. As the moon shines above the dark night, a pink lion cub, Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadence looks at the entrance of the den for her aunts, Celestia and Luna with Creative Spirit, who is just a newborn cub.

Simba: Cadence, what are you doing in here?

Cadence: I am waiting for Aunt Celestia while caring for baby Creative. I wish I could go with them but they would refuse.

Simba: You were much like me when I was your age. My father wouldn't let me go with him too.

Cadence: Yeah.

The sisters had successfully returned to Pride Rock with the man-cub. Simba, his queen, Nala and the other lions, especially Nightlight, Twilight Twinkle, their two cubs, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle, Tenor Treble, Melody Song and their litter of cubs, a wise elderly lioness, Granny Smith and the others greeted them.

Cadence: Aunt Celestia! Aunt Luna!

Celestia: Simba, Zira strikes again.

Simba: What happened there?

Celestia: She and her pride had killed humans. We investigated the banks of the river where we found a man leaf rider and we discovered that Zira had killed not only one man but three.

Simba: You have noticed it Celestia and, Luna, what is that with you?

Luna sets the bundle to the ground gently. The blankets shed off revealing a baby boy. The child has pale skin, amber eyes and whitish blonde hair. The lions of Pride Rock gasps in surprise.

Simba: A man-cub?

Cadence: Where did this came from?

Luna: We found him in his man leaf rider when his family died. His mother, father and one more.

Melody Song: We heard about man using fire sticks to hunt us and all the animals. I have seen man-cubs with their mothers but this one has lost his.

Sarabi: For an infant, he is unique. He is very brave.

Granny Smith: Indeed, but what shall we do with this man cub?

Simba: It's a human, we should return it to where he belongs.

Luna: It's not a good idea, it is better to keep it.

Melody Song: He will die in the long journey or worse.

Celestia: Besides, he has no intentions to kill us like all man because he's just a baby.

Nightlight: Simba, you accepted us to your pride in spite of being different from you and the others when our home was destroyed. He also lost the ones he loved like you lost Mufasa himself. Would your father accept the man-cub?

Simba was speechless and confused to think of what his father would do in this situation. Nala leaned down and gently slid the baby over to him. The child looked at him and the lion leaned his head down. He sniffed him and the baby started to chuckle as he placed his small hands on him.

Nala: What do you think?

Simba looked at the man cub, who is playing with his tail. He began to smile, maybe there is something similar to him and the cubs at all.

Simba: He is a part of our family now. (Nuzzles at his mate)

Cadence: Hear that Creative? We have a new family member.

Creative let out a soft laugh in agreement.

Cadence: So um, whatcha gonna call it?

Nala: I'm going to call him Kijani, for he is will be a true warrior.

Simba: Kijani? It is wonderful.

The queen picked up the baby and carried him to her other cubs but the blanket that wrapped around the baby slipped out of her mouth but Nala quickly bent down to catch him. Kijani began to cry.

Nala: Oh, oh no, shh, shh, don't cry, come on, come on, I'm here.

Simba: It's okay, I am here for you, son.

The baby calmed down and he giggled as his father nuzzled him.

The lion couple laid beside their newborn cubs. Nala placed Kijani with Kopa, Kiara and Kion and nuzzled him. The infant cuddled with the warmth of his adoptive mother and older siblings. He then yawned at faded into his sleep.

Simba: Goodnight, my sons.

Kijani slept through the night with his new family as destiny awaits for the man-cub.
