Hyenas.

Sita has already lost two of her cubs

to these deadly enemies.

Her biggest fear is that

they will steal the others.

The hyenas call,

drawing in more and more of the pack.

They know Sita is hiding something.

Bit by bit, they tighten the noose.

The hyenas have been kept at bay.

This time, Sita's courageous defense

has saved the cubs.

Cold, hard rain.

This is a time of suffering for everyone.

For the River Pride, the cold rain

has been a blessing in disguise.

It allows them to appreciate the bond

and protection of a larger family.

One of Layla's sisters, Malaika,

has small cubs of her own.

With her injuries not healing,

Layla is drawn closer

to her sister's family.

lf Layla builds a bond with her sister,

then Malaika might look after Mara

as well as her own cubs.

Layla's time is short.

Strengthening the bond with her sister

may be Mara's best chance to live.

Layla may soon have to

give up her cub.

And Mara's life will depend on

getting closer to her cousins.

It's happening.

Mara is being adopted by Malaika

and the pride.

There's nothing better for a lion

than close companionship.

With Mara safe,

Layla can go.

The time has come

for Layla to leave the pride

forever.

Layla struggles to find a quiet,

safe place to be alone.

The pride is now far away.

Mara searches for any scent,

any sign of her mother,

but it's not there.

All alone

with her precious cub far away,

Layla, at last, gives up the fight.

Sita's cubs have grown in size

and strength,

and they can't wait to show off

their new powers.

Since the failed invasion,

Kali has prowled the southern side

of the river with his largest son.

Now, he calls on his other sons

To join them.

Kali goes to greet his sons.

They have been separated

for some time.

The family bonds between

these ruthless fighters are very strong.

But there is also fierce rivalry

between them.

They all want the crown.

But Kali is their father

and he lets them know

that he is still king.

Together, they are the most powerful

force in the land.

Together, they will make another

assault on Fang and the River Pride.

Fang's future as leader

is hanging by a thread.

As the months have passed,

the cubs have grown into young adults.

Within this close-knit family,

Mara has thrived.

She is now a teenager in lion years.

The bonds of affection within the

River Pride have never been stronger.

Kali and his sons

are coming with a vengeance.

Fang's enemies lock in.

They launch the attack.

Fang's only hope is escape.

He runs for his life.

Fang will be shown no mercy

if he stays.

Kali's gang is victorious,

and Fang is never seen again.

Now the invaders attack
