Description
What if Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, Imani, Koman, and Sanura go with Kopa to the Tree of Life
(Kopa tells Vitani, Simba, Nala, Kiara, and the rest of the Royal Family and their friends about everything that Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their families, Imani, Koman, and Sanura have done for him)

[The rest of the Lion Guard and Azaad walk up to Simba and Nala]

SIMBA: So, the journey was worth it?

ONO: Indeed. I got my sight back!

BUNGA: The Tree of Life was Bingcredible. I mean, un-Bunga-lievable.

BESHTE: And we met lots of amazing animals.

FULI: Yeah. We did. [Fuli smiles at Azaad]

NALA: And, who is this?

AZAAD: I am Azaad. [Azaad bows]

FULI: Azaad helped us get back to the Pride Lands.

SIMBA: Thank you, Azaad.

AZAAD: It was my honor, Your Majesty.

[Rafiki walks up]

RAFIKI: But, not everyone has returned. Makini is not with you.

KION: No. She decided to stay. Queen Janna...

RAFIKI: (Laughs) Queen Janna was right! She was certain Makini's rightful place would be at the Tree of Life! Just as I was certain Makini's role would be here, in the Pride Lands.

BESHTE: I think we all found something special at the Tree of Life.

KION: But, when we heard Zira was headed for the Pride Lands, we came back as fast as we could.

VITANI (turning to Kopa): And what about you? Where were you all this time when we needed you? I needed you.

KOPA: I was at the Tree of Life this whole time after when Zira attacked me and gave me up for dead.

SARABI: Then how did you come out alive and well?

KIARA: I’m thinking the same thing.

KOPA: Thanks to some old friends.

PUMBAA: Err, okay.

NALA: May I ask who, please?

[Kopa motions for Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, Imani, Koman, and Sanura to approach who Vitani, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, and the rest of the Royal Family and their friends stare at in shock]

VITANI (recognition): Shabaha? Tazama? Kasi? Imara? Imani?

IMANI: It’s true. It was us.

ZURI: So, Zira’s why you have been absent this whole time?

KOPA (having already known about Zuri and Tifu from Kion): Yes, Zuri. I know this can be a bit of a shock and hard to believe, but, Zira’s also why Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, and Imani rebelled against her (Zira) and defected.

TIFU: What does that have to do with your absence? (Turning to Imani) You were Zira’s best friend.

ZURI: So, what could she have done?

IMANI: With force and manipulation, Scar corrupted Zira beyond repair. And then when that happened, despite trying to be Zira’s ground of reason, I had to come to accept that the Zira I knew and grew up with was gone forever.

SHABAHA & TAZAMA’S FATHER: Then when the bond between Kopa and Vitani got the attention of Zira who has been bent on avenging Scar and it became clear to her that Kopa and Vitani would never give up seeing each other, Zira took matters into her own paws and did the unthinkable.

TAZAMA: We were on our way to see Kopa after so much that Vitani told us about him. And so, we wanted to meet him for the first time.

IMARA: But when we got to where Kopa would be, that was when we caught Zira in the act of attacking Kopa and giving him up for dead.

KASI: When we saw what was happening, we were outraged at what Zira was doing.

IMARA & KASI’S MOTHER: While we were part of Zira’s Pride at first, but the horrors of that incident where Zira attacked Kopa was enough to help us realize that if Zira’s plan to avenge Scar meant that she is willing to sacrifice the lives of her family and her own kind in her quest for vengeance, then Zira’s cause was something we could not be part of at all.

SHABAHA & TAZAMA’S MOTHER: So, we made the decision that would change our lives forever.

SHABAHA: We rebelled against Zira and walked out on our place amongst her Pride.

IMANI: With help from Azaad, we took Kopa from Zira’s grasp and got him to the Tree of Life for healing and sanctuary where we would watch over him, care for him, give him the love and support he needed to help him get through his time at the Tree of Life, and prepare him his eventual return.

SHABAHA & TAZAMA’S FATHER: Before our departure, I had Zira put in a coma so she wouldn’t be able to follow us, although we knew it wouldn’t last long.

KOPA: And so the Tree of Life is where I was this whole time. That is until when Kion and his Lion Guard and Makini showed up at the Tree of Life themselves for healing, Kion for his mind altering venomous scar, and Ono for his damaged eyesight. I had been willing to give Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, Imani, and their families a second chance. They have wished for an end to Zira’s journey on the Circle of Life as much as I and Kion and his Lion Guard have.

TAZAMA: The reason for our choice to rebel against Zira to save Kopa is because Kopa is the only one we have closest to a brother.

SHABAHA: We were also doing it for Vitani, since she really cherishes him and has really missed him very much.

[Vitani, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, the rest of the Royal Family and their friends, the Pride, and the Outsiders are very shocked 😳😮😯 at everything they just heard]

SIMBA (to Kopa and forming a smile on his face): Well, if you trust them, Kopa my son, then that’s good enough for me and the rest of us.

[The rest of the Royal Family and Friends, the Pride, and the Outsiders agree]

SIMBA (turning to Kovu): Kovu? [Kovu breaks his embrace with Kiara and walks toward Simba.] I was wrong. You belong here. [Kovu smiles. Kiara sidles up to Kovu, who nudges her affectionately.] Let's go home. [The Outsiders approach from behind Simba. He turns to face them.] All of us.

[And they all go home to Pride Rock]
