Simba just turned toward the entrance to the cave... He was stunned by Kovu's roar, he hadn't heard a roar that loud since he had taken over the Pridelands, there hadn't been a need to.
Taisaku watched as Kovu roared, and when everyone else roared for whatever reason, he tried to keep his roar down, he knew he could easily outroar Kovu, he just didn't wanna ruin the day. Tai then looked at Mila as Kovu, Kiara, Simba, and Nala walked to the cave. He didn't know what to do next.
All of a sudden felt like he was gonna throw up, so he turned to Nala, Kovu, and Kiara and said," I'll be right back." He then ran, jumping down Pride Rock, and running as far from it before he couldn't hold it in anymore. He then became ill, and decided that it wouldn't be smart to try and walk all the way back to Pride Rock quite yet. He walked a few more feet to the river, not to far from were the other lionesses from the pride were drinking from, (the lionesses that don't get names in the movies/ Broadway show.)
Tai noticed as Simba turned, and ran from Pride Rock, he didn't need to be told what was happening, Simba was going to be sick. For some reason, all the other animals had left, and that bad feeling he'd had earlier was getting worse, something big was about to happen, but what? He looked at Mila and said, "I'll be right back." He stood up, and walked over to to the remaining members of the Royal family and rhetorically asked, "Do you think he's going to be ok?"
Nala was shocked at her mate's disappearance, he had just left out of nowhere, for no apparent reason. She mentally answered Tai's question, I hope so.
As soon as Nala thought that, all of the Pridelands began to shake violently. Nala ran in the direction that Simba had gone, PrideRock was shaking so badly, that it was starting to fall apart. Tai turned to everyone and yelled, "You three, Get to somewhere safer! PrideRock is going to fall!" He turned around and ran after Nala, hoping she was okay.
Nala could see Simba, he had tried to stand up, but all of the shacking, and the fact that he was already sick, was causing him to fall back to the ground. Nala ran as fast as she could toward him, but all of a sudden, the earth split open 5 meters from her, she barely stopped in time to prevent herself from falling into the enormous hole in the earth. She yelled to Simba, but he didn't hear her. He was too busy puking, and trying not to get tossed around by the violent shaking. Taisaku finally caught up to Nala and said, "Nala, come on, we will find a way around, you can't stay this close to the edge, it might collapse." But Nala was too busy focusing on Simba to really understand what Tai was saying. Tai waited a moment for her to respond, and when she didn't do anything, he put his foreleg around her chest, and pulled her away, causing her to fall to the ground, a few meters from the opening. He pinned her to the ground and said, "Nala, we will find another way to him, Okay? Let's head back to Pride Rock" Nala shook her head, and burst into tears. Tai didn't know what to do, so he got off of her, and said, "Everything will be fine." . As he said that Kovu, Kiara, and Mila showed up, and the land between them and PrideRock split open. As Tai looked around, he saw that the land Pride Rock was on, was now connected to the land that Simba and the other lionesses were on, maybe they would stay there. Hopefully they did, It would be easier to find Simba and the others once they found a way around the gap. He walked up to Mila, smiled and slightly sarcastically whispered, "How's that for excitement?"
Tai waited for a moment, and when Mila didn't answer he said to everyone, "We should probably get out of here. That way in case of another earthquake, we won't be stranded." Tai looked around and after seeing there was only one way to go, he smiled, pointed, and said, "I think we should go that way." He then started walking, after going about 30 feet, he looked back at everyone and said, "Well, are you coming, or are you gonna stay there and wait to die?"
