Lion King 2: Simba's Feral Child
Chapter 9: 9. Truth Revealed
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe hour after the exile, Kiara was so devastated that she ran off to the Savannah. The Lion Guard, Kijani, Kopa, Kion and their friends, sensing her run out of sight, tries to follow her but they bumped to Sadie and her team.
Kijani: Oh, hi Amirah.
Katie: What's the rush?
Kopa: Our sister ran off.
Elsa: What did Kopa say?
Penelope: Kiara ran off.
Elsa: Ran off? You mean she run away?
Kijani: (talks to them) Yes.
Sadie: We'd better search in the Zuberi River, we'll find her there.
Elsa: Alright.
So Kijani, Sadie, Penelope, Elsa, Kopa, Kion, Sadie's siblings and the other lions ran off to the banks of Zuberi River. As they are looking for Kiara, they saw the abandoned yacht, which is now rooted in the riverbank.
Sadie: I have seen this before. It's from dad's old newspapers about the Radcliffe lion attack.
Louis: Yeah, it is a match.
Katie: It is true, it's a coincidence.
Frederick: And now, it's abandoned.
Kijani: It really bothers me than Timon and Pumbaa's cutting in our hunt.
Sela: This the place where Celestia and Luna found Kijani.
Kopa: Maybe there's something interesting inside, let's go.
Kijani and his allies enter the yacht and they saw many belongings inside. There is a shelf of plush toys in the form of zebras, giraffes, lions, leopards, antelopes and other animals, a poster that says, Save the Leopards, newspapers about awareness campaigns of saving endangered animals and many more. Kijani went into the familiar side of the the yacht and he saw the crib where he was found by Celestia and Luna many years ago.
Elsa: Guys, I think this is the Radcliffe yacht.
Katie: Yeah, everything that uncle read about in the newspaper is true.
Kijani takes out the blankets from where he used to lie down as a baby and he cries.
Penelope: (Comforts Kijani) Jonathan? It's okay, it was a long time ago.
Katie: Just leave it behind and go with the future.
Kijani: It was Zira and the outsiders, they killed my real family.
Elsa: Zira? Who's Zira?
Sela: An outsider.
Sadie: (takes out the journal that she have found years ago.) We'll talk about it later, right now, we're going back to Pride Rock with everything we have found.
After salvaging everything from the yacht, they returned to Pride Rock. Kijani sat down on the center of the den and looked at the ground.
Celestia: What is wrong, Kijani?
Kijani: I have discovered my origin when I was looking for Kiara.
Timon: You found your origin?
Sela: Amirah and the others found a lot of things in the man leaf rider.
Penelope: It must be the link to Kijani's life story.
Katie: Everything uncle read is true.
Sadie: It is an evidence right here. (Opens the journal) here it is: January 17 1997
As I gave my donations from every animal rescue centers, I was happy that Amber broke up with the man who happens to be a poacher but my father warned me that he will try to gain vengeance on me and my family so I packed everything we had in our yacht and sailed away.
Timon: Yeech, I am tired to listening to some jibber jabber.
Penelope: Please, you little meerkat.
Pumbaa: I think it's interesting, read more.
Sadie: Okay, January 19 1997: A storm came in and we strived hard to survive. Our yacht was almost destroyed until we got swept into this place called Serengeti, Africa. For three months, I would go out and find food for my wife, Lucy, my daughter, Amber and my baby boy, Jonathan.
Elsa: The Radcliffes are so generous.
Sadie: Well, there was one that has a letter attached to it.
Sarabi: What is it?
Sadie: (reading the journal) Here it is, January 31: It was our fifth night here in the jungle as we are getting ready for bed but I heard growling sounds. I thought it was any of us but when I peeked into the window of the yacht, I can't believe my eyes. There are skinny looking lionesses with dark eyespots and black noses, lead by their chief, who is also a lioness. It has a streak on top of its head, black eyespots and it has a nasty grin on her face. I was afraid that they might eat all of us so we barricaded Jonathan's crib, I grabbed my rifle and tried to defend our home but...
Kijani: What is this? (Takes out the letter) Dearest Jonathan, All of this animal activism I am doing is for the benefit for all living creatures from all over the world. I know that everybody doesn't care of doing what is right but I want everybody to start over and do what is truly right for everybody and all the living things around us. What I have learned from all of my cooperation is this phrase: "We Are One". From your father, John.
Elsa: Looks like he really does care about you Kijani.
Penelope: Like dad, Simba and Mufasa.
Katie: That's right, uncle James adopted me as his niece when we were babies.
Sadie: Jonathan, because of this, will you ask the outsiders to accept our friendship and fulfill your father's last wish to you?
Kijani: Yes, we will.
Timon: I hate to break it but I can't believe we lost your sister again. (To Pumbaa) This is the eight thousandth time!
Pumbaa: Ooh!
Timon: I thought you were gonna watch her!
Pumbaa: Me? You were gonna watch her!
Timon: I thought you were gonna watch her!
Pumbaa: No, you were gonna watch her!
Timon: You were gonna watch her!
Pumbaa: Aah, watch this! {he leaps onto Timon}
Timon: Ow! Take that, you creepy warthog! Say it! Say it!
Pumbaa: Fat! Fat! Fatty fat fat!
{Timon and Pumbaa are all-out wrestling when Simba approaches. When he speaks, they leap to attention.}
Simba: What are you doing?
Sadie: We have found something interesting.
Kijani: I have to finish my birth father's last wish.
Celestia: It's the prophecy of the Pride Lands.
Timon: Good question! Now let me ask one.
Pumbaa: Hippo-thetically...
Timon: Very hypo-thetical, there's this guy...
Pumbaa: But he's not a lion...
Timon: No! No, he's not a lion... yeesh. (Simba is looking amused) Definitely not a lion. And, uh... uh... his daughter, um, say... vanished.
Simba: Kiara is gone?
Zazu flies into the den to tell everybody the bad new.
Zazu: Sire! The Outsiders are on the attack... heading this way! It's war!
Simba: Zazu! Find Kiara! We'll assemble the lionesses. Move! Now!
Sadie: I'll help you with the alliance, sire (Uses the Tarzan call and Chumvi, Kula, Tama, Malka, Tojo, Mheetu, Mtoto and all of the lions arrive) Looks like we're ready.
