"Come on Carlos, we gotta go save the aardvarks", " But they don't need to be saved at all?",
"Printed dummy", Karla rolled her eyes and pushed her two brothers towards the aardvark dens where they are gonna save them. Karla acting all queen and royal sat on the rock and waited for the return of Carlos and Rafi.

Walking past the bush lands and paths towards the aardvark dens, " why do we have to save em?, why couldn't Karla come?", "because she is Queen, and she told us to do the roles we need to do, after all we are leaders of the prides", they continued to walk towards the den, playing a game to imitate their fathers role in the circle of life, helping animals and saving them. Although they know little about the dangers inside and outside the Tree Of Life," I'm gonna be the first to save an aardvark", Rafi said as he pushed Carlos down a short ravine," no I am", they tackled each other and continued down that ravine and began fighting with each other, laughter and cite growls came from the two of them as they walked further away from where they needed to be. The two young cubs travel past the dens and out of bounds, " ahh? Hay bro? Do we know where the Aardvarks live?", Carlos looked at Rafi confused,  "of course we do?... Do we?", looking around they were lost, they traveled too far and now have no clue where to go, " ahh Rafi where are we?", "I don't know?", they tried smelling the area but no sign of anyone they knew, " are we lost?", "no, of course not, you got your big brother to look after you", Rafi rolled his eyes and continued to search for a way, a sign or even a familiar sighting, but none nothing that could point them home. They continued to walk, the wrong way, heading further away from the tree. " what's that?", Rafi stopped in his track and listened, "what is it?", " I don't know I head a noise?", "ah, it's probably a small creature",
" true". Watching the two cubs was a leopard, following them as the two gets deeper into the forest. This leopard was looking for food and since he stumbled across the two young ones he made his decision that they'll be his meal, sneaky, he moved from tree to tree, bush to bush, trying not to get seen he kept low, stalking his prey, "Again? Did u see that?", " what is it this time?", "I saw something, in the trees?", Carlos looked into the dense trees and didn't see anything, " it's just a bird or something, " I dunno, I feel like I am being watched, we should try going home, I don't feel safe", "we are, but which way?", they stopped at a two way track, one leading to the left and the other to the right, 'maybe now I'll get them', the cheetah made his move and leaped out of the bushes, " you two look lost?", they screamed and ran in circles, panicking like the zebra's in the Pride Lands they were panicking and running, "calm down little ones, I'm not here to hurt you", " why should we trust you? Your a leopard?", "because I'm a friendly leopard, I'll take you home", " I dunno Mr leopard, you look pretty scary", "trust me, come with me, I know the way home", they thought about it for a while and decided, they were smart and what Kion told them, 'not to talk to any strangers, never trust them and call out for help you are getting in trouble,
" thanks but I think we know the way home", Rafi looked unease and so Carlos needed a plan, distract him, "ooh look, hay mum, hello dad?", The leopard jumped and turned around only to see no one there, he growled and turned back to see two cubs running away, at least this time the right way.

"Hay Karla, where's your brothers?", " I don't know I sent them to save some aardvarks but I haven't seen them in a while?", Nirmala thought about it and decided to be on the safe side to send Anga to look for them, luckily Anga was just coming back to give Nirmala the report, "thanks Anga, can you do me a favour and look for Carlos and Rafi?", " yeah sure, where are they?", "well Karla said they are trying to save some aardvarks, so the dens?", " no problem", The eagle fly's off to look for the two cubs who are in danger but yet to be found, Nirmala started asking Karla why and what they were doing, "we were just playing a game of Day and Night Pride",
"Cute, but make sure you keep the saving and helping to us",
"Okay", Karla looked disappointed and wanted to know why they can't help.

Anga flew high over the tree tops and enhanced her eye sight, 'no sign of them here', Anga scoped around the area and didn't find them, " HELP, HELP ", the repeated words caught Anga's attention and quickly glanced over to where the stress call was coming from. Anga gasped at the sighting of Carlos and Rafi getting chased by a hungry leopard, quickly Anga flew back and warned everyone else,
"NIGHT PRIDE", Nirmala, Surak and Baliyo walked out to see the bird distressed, " what is it, where is the cubs?", " the-they are getting chased by three leopards", "WHAT?", " yeah, they were never near the dens, they were halfway out of our lands", The rest were already getting ready,
"Okay, get the Day Pride and meet us there, come on, WITH STRENGTH AND RESPECT?... NIGHT PRIDE ATTACK". " what about me?", Karla ran out wondering what to do,"stay here, please stay here", "fine, please save them". Anga flew over to the Day Pride who were just returning from the west, " Guys, Guys, Carlos and Rafi are in trouble, no time to explain", they followed the bird as they race across the lands to save the two helpless cubs.

Running for their life the cubs from the three leopards who were chasing hard, "come here, we want you in our belly", " yeah, promise we won't hurt you", Growling and teasing them the two kept running, but Rafi tripped over and fell on his face, Carlos stopped and returned to his brother,  he began to cry and seeing the tree leopards looking down on him he cried out. They licked their licks and opened their mouth ready to kill. " GET OF OFF OUR NEPHEWS", Nirmala jumped on the leader and tackled him to the ground, Surak and  Baliyo each took one on. "GO, RUN, RUN", they got up and ran towards safety, fighting with the leopards the Day Pride sooner arrived, Fuli gave the orders," Anga and Bunga go find the cubs and take them to the tree", they departed and doubled back, "Besthe with me",
" QuinDeckiBoko",  Besthe rammed one of them as he stormed through the line, taking two of them, Surak and Fuli made sure to keep them at bay, Nirmala was still was fighting with the supposed leader, roaring and growls came out of their mouths and claws went everywhere. Ono came flying in, nose diving like a falling plane Ono swooped at the leopards Besthe came back for round two and rammed him right in the head, sending him back an extra few hundred meters, they circled the three leopards, they were true spirited, not wanting to show that they were scared they were growling and threatening  to pounce, but they were outnumbered, it was a six on three and they had no chance, if only Kion was here, he would've used the roar to roar them away. "Go, never come again or feel the force of our defence", the leader snared and looked at his two solders, " alright, were going", they ran off into the distance, "Ono, make sure they are really gone", " yes", Ono flew off as they began to travel back to the tree.

Anga found the two cubs, Rafi had a small graze along his cheek, but overall they were just tried and sore from running, reuniting with Karla, she gave them a hug and apologized for sending them on the journey, "it's okay sis, but I don't think I'll be helping any aardvarks for a while", " yeah". The Day and Night Pride soon came into the tree and put some made up cream to help with the graze, Makini wiped and cleaned the blood and rubbed in some cream to stop the bleeding and heal it faster, he winched at the sudden shock, tears rolled down his cheek, "there, all done, don't rub it, it'll soon heal", " How long?", "maybe a few weeks". " your pretty lucky, if it wasn't for your uncle and aunties you would of be-", Nirmala cleared her throat, making a deep cough, she death stared at Makini telling her using her body language to not say it to the cubs," oh, yeah", "what Makini is  saying is your very lucky to be here, never go and do those things again", " yes auntie Nirmala, sorry", "it's okay Karla, the important thing is that your safe and sound, now who's hungry for some dinner?".

In the distance the three leopards were ashamed they didn't get their dinner, they were going to seek revenge and what a plan did the leader have, " we'll get them back, those cubs are mine".
