Simba, who is the new peaceful leader of the Pride Lands, has a daughter named Kiara and a son named Kion. Kiara always gets in trouble wandering off and Kion always has her busted. And Timon and Pumbaa have to watch over both of them. One day, Kiara ventures into the outlands and meets a cub named kovu. At first day instantly connect as friends, but they both learn the hard way that their parents are each other's enemies. Kovu's mother is Zira the leader of the Outsiders, a group of lionesses who supported Scar when he took over. After Scar was defeated, the Outsiders were banished by Simba. Years later, Zira has trained Kovu to be a killer filled with hate and that his "destiny" is to avenge Scar by killing Simba and then the Pride Lands will belong to The Outsiders. Zira and her children stage a rescue by setting a fire in the grasslands and Kovu will swoop in and save Kiara. The plan works and Kovu has earned Simba's reluctant trust. As time goes by, he spends time with Kiara only so he could get closer to Simba and then he will strike him when he's alone with him. But then Kiara and Kovu actually fall in love with each other.
