The Plot
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/3/4/19345413/4393498.jpeg)
It begins with Kiara's presentation to all the animals. You can already see that she is a playful cub. You then see her trying to go and explore the pridelands but Simba is holding her back, telling her to be careful. Simba lets Kiara go, feeling a bit downhearted. Kiara runs off while Simba asks Timon and Pumbaa to keep a look out for her. Kiara falls into the river and Pumbaa dives into rescue her. But Pumbaa is sitting on her. Pumbaa realizes his mistake and apologizes to Kiara. Timon offers Kiara some beetles, to which she refuses. An argument breaks out between Timon and Pumbaa on which type of grubs taste better, slimy or crunchy. Kiara takes her chance to escape.
She wanders into the outlands forgetting her father's advice. Kiara bumps into a cub called Kovu. Kovu starts telling her about how great it is to be an outlander. But then they encounter some hungry crocodiles. They both save each other once and manage to land on dry land. When they start playing, Simba turns up and Zira pounces in front of him. In the distance, Zira could see Nala and two other lionesses so she didn't dare strike Simba. She introduces Simba to Kovu but Simba told her to get out of the pridelands. They then part in their opposite directions, Zira hinting that 'things have only begun.'
Simba tells Kiara that they are one while Kovu is being shouted a lullaby about how he will kill Simba. The next scene shows Rafiki painting Kiara and Kovu on his tree branches. He has no idea about how to stop Kovu and seeks Mufasa's advice. Mufasa lets a fruit crack and split in half. Rafiki recognizes this to mean that Kiara and Kovu should get married so the prides won't fight anymore. Rafiki thinks Mufasa is crazy but Mufasa sends a large gust of wind to knock the mandrill over. Rafiki says he trusts the deceased king but I think he didn't really.
Now a young adult, Kiara heads out for her first solo hunt. Nuka and Vitani trap her in a fire, allowing Kovu to rescue her. Simba, unwilling to thank the young rogue, is forced to accept Kovu's asylum now that Kovu saved his daughter. Kovu contemplates attacking Simba as he was instructed to, but he goes out to hunt with Kiara instead and hardly realizes the love he has for Kiara at this point. Kovu attempts to confess his mission to Kiara, but Rafiki shows up and leads them to the jungle where he introduces them to "Upendi". Ultimately, Kovu and Kiara indeed fall in love with each other.
Kovu's guilt drives him to confess about his mission to Kiara. Before he can do so, Simba tells him the real story of Scar, which Kovu had never heard. They fall into an ambush set up by Zira's pride, however. Kovu has the opportunity to kill Simba, but runs away instead. Nuka, trying to prove to Zira that he can capture Simba, is killed when some of the logs crush him to death. Zira blames Kovu for his brother's death and claws him across his eye in anger and frustration, scarring his face. Kovu attempts to return to the Pride Lands and pleads Simba for his forgiveness, but is rejected and promptly exiled. Kiara runs off to find Kovu. They later find each other and Kovu expresses his feelings to Kiara. However, Kiara convinces Kovu to return to the Pridelands. Meanwhile, Simba is informed of an attack by the Outlanders.
The Outlanders and Pridelanders clash and a battle starts. Zira and Simba confront each other, but Kovu and Kiara intervene and tell them to stop their hostilities. Kiara, reminding her father that there are no differences between the two prides, causes Simba to realize what he said earlier and the Outlanders side with them. Zira attempts to attack Simba, only for Kiara to send her over a cliff dangling over a storm-swollen river. Kiara offers Zira her help, but she refuses and falls to her death. Simba rescues Kiara in time and he, along with Nala, allows the Outlanders and Kovu to rejoin the Pride Lands at Pride Rock, and even accepts Kovu as the future king and Kiara the future queen. Simba looks up at the sky to hear the approval of his father, Mufasa.
