So any of you future manes or  Huntresses -- this is not for you.

There's the gazelle.

Right where I left her.

We've got a problem though...

She's standing on the boarder  to a Pride's territory.

If the Mane catches us, we're in trouble.

I think it's worth the risk.

Sounds good. You go left,

I'll sneak up on the right and scare her

in your direction.

[Nothing V.O.] Feather took  to hunting really well.

He has a great mind for strategy.

We've been working together  for the last few months

and doing a lot better.

Fire?

Sister! What are you doing all the way out here!?

Proud took over and forced me to leave...

I can't believe you're here!  I gave up on finding you!

Oh no. I'm so sorry, Sister.  I didn't even think of that!

When Quickmane came after me, everything happened

so fast! He gave me this...

He almost had me when Proud  came at him from his blind side.

I could barely walk, but Tangle helped me escape.

Everyone scattered and that was the last

I saw of any of the others.

It was just Tangle and me after that.

Where's Tangle now?

He didn't make it.

It's tough out on the Stretch in dry season...

But you know that.

I'm sorry Fire. You two seemed close.

Yeah. We were.

I was alone for a long time after Asra took him.

Being a No-Mane has been... hard...

But now I have you!

We found eachother despite everything!

It's a sign from the Goddesses, I can feel it!

I just... I can't believe we finally found you!

It's like a dream come true!

We?

Hey, Fire...

Oh. Feather. Hi.

So... are you the Mane of this Pride?

Not yet. Come on, let's get  this kill a little further from

the boarder and I'll explain.

So, how long has it been? Since Tangle passed?

I'm not sure...

My days on the Stretch are all blurred together.

I'm sure you know how it is.

You were alone out there longer than I was.

I wasn't alone. I had Feather.

Right... but you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm just glad you made it out alive

and we're together again.

I'll look after you from now on, just like back

at the Sister's Steppe!

Pfft. How are you going to look after us?

You're a No-Mane, aren't you?

I'm glad you asked!

I've had my eye on this Pride for a while

and I think it would be perfect for me!

There's loads of prey, beautiful lionesses,

and best of all - no cubs!

So nobody has to get hurt!

Other than the Pride's Mane...

The Mane of this Pride is old and slow.

He had his time as Mane and now it's mine!

The only problem is that he's huge.

Last time I challenged him,  I got this to show for it.

I'm not giving up though!

But I'd love a little  back-up in case he gets me in

a tough spot again.

Sister? Feather?

Would you mind coming along to help?

You'll have a place in the Pride as long as

I'm Mane of course!

Her name is Nothing.

What?

You keep calling her Sister.

Her name is Nothing.

Not for long!

When I'm a Mane, we'll get my sister a good proper

Huntress name!

You deserve something better.

Thank you, Fire.

Can we talk alone?

We'll be back in a minute.

Uh.. sure thing. Take your time!

I don't like that he wants  to get rid of your name.

How come?

Because Nothing doesn't mean what your

Mom wanted it to mean anymore.

She gave you that name to  make you feel bad, right?

She tried to make it mean "worthless", right?

But Nothing does mean worthless now!

It means brave and kind and strong!

It's what you're afraid of: nothing.

You made it mean who you are.

That's special. It's not his to change.

Feather...

I'm just saying. If Fire doesn't know that,

I don't think he knows you anymore.

And you might not know him so well either.

Plus! He asked us to help him kill somebody!

We aren't doing that, are we?

Are we?

Fire's our best shot at having  a Pride again, Feather. A home.

We don't need a Pride! Ever  since I learned to hunt

we've been doing fine on our own.

Let's just go. Fire can take care of himself.

He's my brother Fire, we aren't leaving him.

Look. I know attacking this Mane feels wrong.

But this is how Pride Law works.

If Fire doesn't take over,  it'll just be some other

No-Mane, and all of us will still go hungry on

the Stretch. Is that really better?

If everybody thinks like  that, nothing ever changes.

That's very idealistic of  you but this too important.

You need a Pride and I'm making sure you get one.

If you don't want to come, you don't have to.

But I'm helping Fire.

Is Feather okay? He looked  upset when we left the Stretch.

He'll be fine. We've been  Prideless for so long he's...

Not used to Pride Law.

Poor little guy.

Thanks for your help though, Sister.

The Mane should be coming by here soon.

Do you know what to do.

I'll stay hidden and if you need any help,

I'll come out on your signal.

No Mane! I can smell you! Come out!

That's my cue. I'll see you on the other side.

Good luck, Fire.

I let you off with a warning last time,

but this time you're dead.

Sister! Help!

Sister!

I'll kill you!

You saved Fire's life!

I didn't do it for him.

Sister! What is wrong with you!?

He could've killed me!

You said you'd be there to help!

I'm sorry. I froze.

It's fine. I'm fine.

But the next time I tell you  to do something, you do it.

Let's go claim my Pride.

Huntresses!

I have defeated your Mane!

By the rights of Pride Law, I  claim this Pride as my property!

I am Firemane, and you are mine now!

I'm this Pride's Hunt Chief and  I do not accept you as my Mane.

Who are these Prideless  you've allowed into our home?

That's my sister and her ward.

They're under my protection.

A true Mane doesn't raise  cubs who aren't his blood.

Kill it or you have no claim to our Pride.

He's hardly a cub! He's nearly grown!

Then he's a rival.

You killed my mate of many  seasons to win our Pride.

Finish what you started or leave us.

Huntresses!

I say if this No-Mane doesn't end

the bloodline of all other rivals,

he has no rightful claim to our Pride.

Those in agreement, let me hear your voices!

[ROARING]

What say you, No-Mane?
