《Kovu x reader》The betrayal and Love will find a way
Advertisement
We open on Pride Rock, with Kovu walking out onto the promontory.
Okay-- I have to tell her today. Oh... where do I start? "(Y/N)... Zira had a plot-- and I was part of it. But I don't wanna be, because-- it's because I love you. {sighs} Oh, she'll never believe me. But I gotta try.
He goes into the cavern, where (Y/N) and Simba are waking up.
(Y/N)... I need to talk to you.
My dad sternly and rudely interrupting our conversation and said (Y/N)... I don't want you talking with him. {softening} I want to talk with him.
My face brightens; and my dad winks at me, and he and Kovu go out onto the promontory and down onto the savannah. we switch to where they are walking through the newly burnt section of the Pride Lands.
Scar couldn't let go of his hate... and in the end, it destroyed him.
I've... never heard the story of Scar that way. He truly was a killer.
Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before...
He puts his paw down and raises some dust; when he lifts it, a young plant is there. The two lions lean down, head to head.
...If given the chance.
We hear a wicked chuckle from the dust surrounding them. Kovu gasps as he realizes what's happening. Many dark lionesses appear from the clouds of dust, surrounding them. The lionesses' eyes glow a bright, sinister yellow.
No... oh, no... no....
Why, Simba...
Zira.
What are you doing out here, and-- so alone? {the lionesses encircle Simba and Kovu} Well done, Kovu... just like we always planned.
{turning on Kovu} What? You.
No! I didn't have anything to do with this!
Attack!
No!
The lionesses attack. Simba is fighting off several at once. Kovu tries to help Simba, but is battered off by Vitani and falls to the side, hitting his head on a rock. Simba is thrown to the bottom of a ravine; Vitani, Nuka and lionesses slide down the slope towards him.
Yes! We've got him!
Vitani, Nuka and the other lionesses attack again, forcing Simba to flee down the canyon.
Remember your training! As a unit!
Simba is trapped; he tries to climb up the walls of the canyon, using the piled-up logs to gain purchase; Kovu is above him on the ledge.
Simba!
Get him! Kovu! Get him! Do it now!
Nuka jumps from the crowd
I'll do it-- for you, Mother! {he bounds up the logs, laughing} Mother-- are you watching? {softly, to himself} I'm doing it for you... and I'm doing it for me! Nuka chases Simba up a slope with several broken logs strewn across it. Just as Simba reaches the top, Nuka grabs his ankle.
This is my moment of glory!
The log on which Nuka has his rear paw breaks, causing Nuka to lose his grip on Simba's ankle and begin to fall. Simba reaches the top, but the pile of logs rolls down the slope with Nuka among them; they all land in a heap at the bottom of the ravine. Nuka lies trapped under a large log. He looks up to the top of the slope to see one final log rapidly falling in his direction. He grimaces, terrified, as the log hits him. Kovu rushes down to help free Nuka, but he is swatted aside by Zira, who pulls enough logs aside to see Nuka's face.

Nuka...
Nuka is gasping for air & coughing. I'm sorry, Mother... I tried but I was so close well at least I finally got your attention didn't I?
Ssshh.
Zira cradles his face in her paw. and then Nuka dies in her paw. Vitani appears next to Zira on the edge of the logs.
Nuka...
We switch to the middle of the Pride Lands, where Simba is walking wearily back to Pride Rock. (Y/N) sees him from a distance off.
Father... {realizing} Father! Zazu, get help!
Zazu is flying off Oh yes! Help... at once! Of course!
My Father is walking with great pain. as Me, Timon, and Pumbaa reach him.
Father...?
Simba! Talk to me! What happened?
My Father coughs, wheezing, having a hard time speaking Kovu... In a painful breath of air Ambush...
My father collapses on his side, groaning in pain.
No...
Timon grabs my father's tail and hugs it; Pumbaa hoists Simba on his back, and they start to drag him back to Pride Rock.
It's all right, buddy... we're here for you.
We switch back to the Outlands, where the lionesses are gathered in a memorial to Nuka.
Scar... watch over my poor Nuka. {she turns on Kovu} You!
Zira swats Kovu across the face with outstretched claws.
Eeaugh!
Kovu looks away in pain, but soon turns his head, glaring at Zira. She recoils at the sight, shocked; Kovu now has a scar over his left eye just like Scar's. Zira recovers quickly.
Zira menacingly said. What have you done?
I-I-I didn't mean to... it-it-it wasn't my fault, I... {forcefully} I did nothing!
Exactly! And in doing so, you betrayed your pride... betrayed Scar!
Kovu shouting. I want nothing more to do with him!
You cannot escape it! Nuka is dead because of you!
No.
You've killed your own brother!
No!
Kovu turns and runs out from among the pride, many of whom are growling and snarling at his departure.
Let him go. Simba has hurt me for the last time... now he's corrupted Kovu! Listen to me... Simba is injured and weak. Now is the time to attack! We will take his entire kingdom... by force!
The Outsiders all snarl and roar in reply. We switch back to Pride Rock, where Simba is just waking up.
Daddy it can't be true...
we shift down to the valley floor, where the animals are all gathered.
Cheetah: It's Kovu. What's he doing here?
Giraffes: That's Kovu.
Zazu: What's going on here?
Rafiki: The whole kingdom is coming.
Random Animals: Look at that scar... I can't believe he's here. That's Kovu?
I see Kovu approaches down the narrow aisle between the congregated animals. i try to run twords Kovu and said.
Kovu!
But My dad snarls at me and jumps forward, cutting me off.
Random Animals: I never trusted him... It's the Outsider... it's that little troublemaker...
Timon: Why I oughtta... let me at 'im! Let me at 'im! {to Pumbaa} Here; hold me back.
Pumbaa: Okay!
Timon isheld back by the tail and said. Let me at 'im! Let me at 'im!

Okay! Pumbaa lets go of Timon's tail
Timon is lurching forward; turning back to Pumbaa. I think you're missing the basic point here.
Uh...
Random Animals: What's he doing here?... He doesn't belong here... Look at that scar on his face... He looks just like Scar...
Why have you come back?
Simba... I had nothing to do with what happened--
You don't belong here.
Please... I ask your forgiveness.
Daddy, please... listen to him!
{to (Y/N)} Silence! {to Kovu} When you first came here, you asked for judgment...
Random Animals: Give him what he deserves!
...And I pass it now.
Random Animals: Kick him out! That's right! Judgment day is here!
Simba Having a selfish attitude. Exile!
No!
Random Animals: Exile him! Exile! Exile!
No! ...Kovu!
Kovu is driven from Pride Rock at hornpoint.
Animals: Deception Disgrace
Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Zebras: Deception (An outrage!)
Giraffes: Disgrace (For shame!)
Hippo: He asked for trouble the moment he came
Zebras: Deception (An outrage!)
Animals: (He can't change his stripes!)
Giraffes: Disgrace (For shame!)
Animals: (You know these Outsider types!)
Giraffe: Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Animals: (See you later, agitator!)
Zebras: Deception (An outrage!)
Animals: (Just leave us alone!)
Giraffes: Disgrace (For shame!)
Animals: (Traitor, go back with your own!)
Hippo: He asked for trouble the moment he came
Animals: (See you later, agitator!)
Animals: Born in grief Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run
Let him live
But do not forget
What we cannot forgive
And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind
Kovu is hounded from the Pride Lands. As he runs, he sees his reflection in a pool change to that of Scar.
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he'll never be one of us
Antelope: He is not one of us
Antelope: Deception
Zebra: Disgrace
Antelope: Deception
Zebra: Disgrace
Antelope: Deception
He wanders into the desert; the overlaid images are of (Y/N) weeping and of Simba giving Kovu the evil eye and starts turning away. Rafiki watches Kovu leave, from a distance.
Oohh...
Love Will Find a Way
We switch back to Pride Rock. Simba is standing at the tip of the promontory, staring off into the distance.
Daddy.. please reconsider!
You are not going anywhere without an escort from now on.
No! That's not--
Don't you see he used you to get to me!
No! He loves me... for me! Why are you doing this?
Because you are my daughter! You will not leave Pride Rock. You will stay here where I'll keep an eye on you... away from him.
You don't know him!
I know he's following in Scar's pawprints... and I must follow in my father's.
You will never be Mufasa!
(Y/N) come back.
Simba is stung, but silenced... I break down and run back to my den to lie down, sobbing. Suddenly i sees a stream of light shining through a hole in the wall. Determined, I push my way through the wall, Meanwhile, I track the same path Kovu took while i fled from Pride Rock, but i cannot find him.
Kovu? Kovu...
I walks through the stream Kovu walked through, looking down at my reflection. Curiously, only half of my body is clear. I continue looking through a cave, calling his name.
Kovu..
The song is sung by voice-overs. (Y/N) reflects on Kovu and their time together, all they have seen and been through.
In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I look up at the sky, seeing our rabbit and two lions in the sky, remembering.
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
I move to a log overhanging the stream. I sits down on it, depressed. When i open my eyes and peer at my reflection, she sees that it is, again, only half clear.
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I'm sitting on a high knoll, with my head bowed. We move to Kovu, who is approaching (Y/N) from behind her.
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
I turn and notices Kovu.
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They come together and nuzzle lovingly.
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
Two butterflies flutter around Kovu and me. Kovu brightens up at the sight of them, and laughing, rushes off after them, with me in pursuit. We wrestle briefly, then we catch sight of ourselves in a reflection.
Hey, look... we are one. he smiles at me. I smile back, then realizes what Kovu just said and lookd shocked and said.
What?
Let's get outta here. We'll run away together! And start a pride... all our own.
{chuckles} Kovu... we have to go back.
You're kidding. But we're finally together!
Our place is with our pride. If we run away, they'll be divided forever.
Kovu considers, but doesn't seem entirely convinced.

8 193Interdimensional Resource Collector in a Fantasy World: (A LitRPG)
The Strada republic has been fighting the Klada High Oligarchy, another multi-solar civilization for over half a century. The law of their dimension permits the conservation of the dimensional properties of items from different dimensions; however, they cannot recreate them in their own world. As such they rely on IRC, Interdimensional Resource Collectors to seize items such as weapons, or raw resources from different dimensions. Orion Dandillon is one of these billions of workers. He has been working as an IRC for roughly two centuries and is now sent to a type-M/22 world. In other words, a fantasy world with a system. Release schedule: Minimum of 3 chapters a week, however, I’ll release more at the start. I’ll decide on a more consistent release schedule later.
