Description
What if Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, and Imara go with Kopa to the Tree of Life (Alternate)
(The Lion Guard: The Tree of Life)
(Kopa, Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, Imani, and her family and followers and their families tell their story as the Lion Guard, Kovu, Vitani, and Makini tell their story)

And then when she and Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, and Imara break apart, Vitani turns to Kopa with questions on her mind.

VITANI: But, Kopa, there’s something I don’t understand. You’ve been alive all this time. Why didn’t you come back to Pride Rock when we needed you? I needed you. Kovu needed you too.

KION (speaking on behalf of himself and the rest of the Lion Guard): As did I and the rest of the Lion Guard here and Kiara as well.

MAKINI: And me.

Before Kopa can answer, Imara speaks up.

IMARA: It’s because it was the only way that I and the others here could protect Kopa from Zira’s clutches.

Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani look at Imara in shock.

FULI: What do you mean?

KOPA: Zira was why I had been absent from your lives and living here at the Tree of Life ever since she attacked me and gave me up for dead.

Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani are very shocked at what Kopa just revealed.

MAKINI: What?

FULI: Zira?

BESHTE: Oh no!

ANGA: Zira?

ONO: She’s the leader of some very bad Lions.

KION: My dad banished them for betraying the Pride Lands.

BUNGA: So your absence because of Zira’s attack on your life is why Kion has been known as the second born of Simba and Nala as well as their only son.

ONO: And why Kiara is being groomed as the future Queen of the Pride Lands.

KOVU: Is that why King Simba has been very strict with Kiara? Why he told her to stay away from the Outlands?

KOPA: Yes, guys. (With Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, Imani, Koman, Sanura, Imani’s followers and their families around him by his side) And I know this can be a bit of a shock and hard to believe, but to make the matter bigger, Zira was also why Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, and Imani and her followers rebelled against her and defected. Zira’s attack on my life left them with disgust and pure anger over Zira’s deception over the subject of Scar’s death and her extreme ways of how far she is willing to go to achieve revenge for Scar including sacrificing the lives of any of her family members and her own kind.

IMANI: That was the final straw for me as I realized there that the best friend I had in Zira would never be coming back.

KION: So, why is she a problem for you too? You and Zira grew up together.

FULI: So, what could she have done?

IMANI: Zira was the one who came to believe that Scar should be King. And then with manipulation, when he took over the Pride Lands and turned it into a wasteland, Scar corrupted Zira to his side, and did the unthinkable.

RISALA (one of Imani’s followers): Scar damaged Zira beyond repair and recognition.

MALA: Then when Scar was devoured by Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, and their Hyena clan for selling them out out of fear for his own life, Zira became insane and did the unthinkable.

RISALA: She falsely accused King Simba for the death of Scar.

BUNGA: But, why would she do that?

TAZAMA: Zira has always been so completely devoted to Scar so much that she is willing to falsely accuse King Simba for the death of Scar even if she knows but ignores that it was Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, and their Hyena clan who were responsible for his death.

IMANI: Because I’ve really hated Scar and for him destroying my relations with Zira as her best friend, I found my place in the Circle of Life as the caretaker of any of the Outsiders with families.

MALA: Then when Zira had the nerve to attack Kopa and give him up for dead, she didn’t realize until it was too late that it has become one of the if not the worst decision she will have ever made, because it didn’t go unnoticed by us.

TAZAMA: The horrors of that incident was enough to convince us of Zira’s deception over the subject of Scar’s death and her extreme ways of how far she is willing to go to achieve revenge for Scar.

IMANI: And that was when we made the decision that would change our lives forever.

IMARA: We rebelled against her.

RISALA: The battle came at the cost of Zira’s Pride splitting in two.

KASI: With aid from the injuries that Imani and her followers afflicted on Zira, Shabaha, Tazama, Imara, and I combined our Lion Guard abilities amongst each other and used them to lock Zira into a coma. But it wouldn’t last long.

SHABAHA: Before our departure, I left behind that clue for the Royal Family to pick up so they would know about Kopa’s survival but that he has to be kept somewhere out of Zira’s reach so he can avoid being targeted by Zira again while he’s still a Cub and so that any of their future children can know about his existence.

Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani are very shocked at Shabaha revealing herself as the one who left behind that clue for them.

TAZAMA: With help from Azaad, we fled here to the Tree of Life to protect Kopa and prepare him for his and Zira’s respective returns.

IMANI: And so I can I raise my family out of Zira’s reach.

KION: It all makes sense.

VITANI: We had fallen for her lies.

KOVU: As did I.

KION: Even Nuka. He always spoke of Scar not being Kovu’s father.

KOVU: Nuka had no interest other than wanting to gain Zira’s attention, affection, approval, and support. You would have been easy to fool.

ONO: After the events of the Lions of the Outlands, Zira must have found herself in a termite mound area very similar to the one she lived in before she temporarily took control of Jasiri’s home.

KION: And why did you all risk your lives to save my big brother Kopa and get him all the way here to the Tree of Life for healing and sanctuary?

TAZAMA: Because Kopa is the only one that Shabaha, Kasi, Imara, and I have as a brother.

IMARA: We were also doing it for our best friend Vitani. She really cherishes him and has really missed him very much.

IMANI: And because Kopa is the only I have as a son.

KOPA: I’ve been willing to give Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, and Imani and her family and followers and their families a second chance. They wish an end to Zira’s journey on the Circle of Life as much as we do.

Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani are very shocked at everything that was just explained. And then they form smiles on their faces.

KION (addressing Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, and Imani and her family and followers and their families): Well, if you trust them, Kopa, then that’s good enough for me and the rest of us.

ONO: Indeed.

FULI: Yeah.

BUNGA: Un-Bungalievable.

ANGA: Yep.

BESHTE: Like my dad always says, “Live long enough, and you’ll see everything.”

ULU (an Eurasian Eagle Owl who is the Night Pride’s majordomo) (appearing in front of Kopa): Prince Kopa?

KOPA: Yes, Ulu?

ULU: I don’t mean to interrupt, but Rani the rest of the Night Pride are here, and they want to welcome the newcomers.

KOPA: Bring them on over.

Rani, Surak, Nirmala, Baliyo, and Chumvi appear as Rani approaches Kion.

RANI: You must be Kion, right?

KION (facing Rani): Yes. My friend Ono and I have come to be healed. We have been on a long journey to get here.

RANI: You can enter. After all, we welcome all who need it.

BUNGA (standing next to Kion): And by the way, we’re the Lion Guard.

BALIYO: Lion Guard? You’ve only got one Lion.

BUNGA: Yeah. You’ll get used to it.

RANI: Very well. I suppose you better come in then. Kion, Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, Vitani, follow me.

With that Rani and all of the Night Pride including Kopa, Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, Imara, their parents, and Imani and her family and followers and their families escort Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani through the mountain pass and right into the huge territory where the Tree of Life is in the center.

RANI (to Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani): Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, Vitani, we’re here. Welcome to the Tree of Life.

And so Kion, the Lion Guard, Makini, Kovu, and Vitani’s adventures at the Tree of Life begins.
