I got another idea of how to make Kion and his friends return to the Pride Lands, although I'm aware that it would certainly be much darker story and might not meet the requirements as for a Disney Junior show, so in such case it should be moved to Disney Channel. My idea is to introduce humans who are intended to take over the entire land around the Tree of Life so to convert it into a ski resort with a bunch of hotels for tourists. These people catch and relocate most of the animals living nearby. The Night Pride try to hold off humans by force of course, which results in shooting. Rani gets a headshot and dies, Baliyo and Surak end up wounded and encaptured and Nirmala runs away. Kion and the guard are most likely captured. People make a decision to transport them back to the Pride Lands as this is their original and natural habitat.

I know, it's kinda brutal and forceful turn of events, but still possible to happen.
