T'Challa Udaku POV
After my mission I step into the plane. I think about freezing when I saw Nakia. I can't help it, It happens every time! 'Thinking about how you froze again?' Nakia asks. 'No. I was thinking about getting home as soon as possible.' I chuckle. 'Well, as you are talking about that.. We are home, my king.' Okoye says while grinning.
N'Yarai Nakato POV
'Yara!' I faintly hear in my sleep. 'Yara!' I hear again followed by someone shaking me. I open my eyes and see Shuri with the biggest smile on her face. 'Guess what is going to happen today!?' She squeals in excitement. I look at her with furrowed brows and look at the calendar on my wall. The 17th of May. I then suddenly remember. 'T'Challa is coming home!' 'Yes bozo he is almost here! Go get dressed.' Shuri says.
I get up and do my morning routine. I put my armor on and glance at myself in the mirror. The sun shines into my room perfectly and complements my dark caramel skin & light brown eyes.
N'Yarai's black armor
My bracelet made out of vibranium beeps. I click a button and see Shuri showing up as a 3D character. 'Hurry up Yara, I can see his jet from afar.' 'Yea yea, I'm almost done.'
I quickly put my curly afro hair in a single braid and smooth it out with some gel before I run outside. I'm just on time as I see T'Challa's jet landing. The door opens and Okoye steps outside first. Followed by Nakia and T'Challa.
'N'Yarai you haven't changed a bit.' T'Challa says while looking at me proudly. 'That's because it has only been three weeks my king.' We do our special handshake which is followed by a hug. He steps to Shuri. 'Little sister.' He says while hugging her.
'I have created an update for our current software.' 'But what is wrong with the one we have now?' 'T'Challa, just because something is working fine doesn't mean it doesn't need an update.'
Shuri begins to walk inside. 'Tell me when you are going to do an update to your ceremonial outfit!' He shouts after her. She sticks her middle finger up. 'Shuri.' Queen mother says sternly. 'Sorry mother!'
After Okoye commanded her soldier to take Nakia to get ready for the ceremony, only T'Challa, Queen mother and I are alone. 'My son.' Queen mother says as she holds T'Challa's hands. 'It's okay now mother. Wakanda will have a new king.' 'A great king.' I add.

After traveling we finally reach our destination for the ceremony. 'Wow..' I whisper as I look at the breathtaking view.
We all take place on the Gurai Mountain. Tribe by tribe. I stand in the middle next to my mother in the Forest tribe. Zuri stands in the water alongside T'Challa. Everyone whispers not able contain their excitement for the ceremony. 'Silence!' Zuri shouts. 'The prince, will now have the black panther powers stripped away.' T'Challa sits on one knee before Zuri. He pours the purple liquid in his mouth.
Moments later T'Challa begins to breathe heavy. Purple veins appear on his body. After that his body returns to normal and he stands up. 'Victory in ritual combat comes by surrender or death. Does any tribe wish to put forward a warrior?' The leader of the water tribe steps forward. 'The water tribe will not challenge today.' Zuri nods. 'The river tribe will not challenge today.' After all tribes declined the offer he speaks up.
'Does anyone of royal blood wish to challenge the prince?' Shuri lifts her hand up. 'This corset is really tight can we just finish up here?' Queen mother pinches her. 'Ah mother!' I laugh at Shuri's commentary.
Suddenly, we hear loud barking noises. Slowly we see Jabari men coming out the cave. 'M'Baku..' my mother quietly whispers. 'How do you know him?' I ask. 'How do I not know him? He is the only tribe of Wakanda that refuses to collide.' I squint my eyes and look at her suspiciously. I decide to let it slide and look at the battle.
'I accept.' T'Challa says while he stands ready for the fight. 'God please let him win.' I quietly pray.
And soon my prayers are answered. I see our new king, T'Challa crossing his arms and bowing before us. Everyone including me cheers.
We have a new king!
