The Lion King: Long Live the King

By Simba'92

Chapter 1: Plan Failure

"Mufasa, quick, stampede… in the gorge, Simba's down there," said Scar. "Simba," said Mufasa. Scar and Mufasa ran to Simba's aid. Zazu spots Simba, "There! There on that tree!" "Hold on, Simba," Mufasa said. The branch that Simba is holding on to breaks and he goes flying into the air. Mufasa rushes toward him and catches Simba in the air. Mufasa places Simba on a rock and climbs on just before a wildebeest runs past. "No," Scar shouted. After they were safely out of the gorge, Mufasa asked, "What were you doing down there?" "I... I was waiting for you and Uncle Scar," Simba answered. Mufasa and Simba stared at Scar. "Well... I was going to get you, Mufasa because I wanted you two to have a bonding time." "But then, the stampede – I had to run for help," said Scar. "Very well," said Mufasa. Simba, Mufasa and Zazu begin to move toward Pride Rock while Scar stays behind.

"I cannot believe that my plan was a complete failure," Scar said to himself. Banzai, Shenzi and Ed come out of hiding. "So, what are we going to do now, boss?" Banzai asked. "I will come up with another plan and wait until the time is right. Then we will strike!" Scar answered.


Back at Pride Rock, Rafiki helps treat Mufasa's wounds from the stampede. "RROOOAAARRR!" "There, I have healed your wounds," said Rafiki. "Thank you, old friend," Mufasa said kindly. "Now, remember to get some rest," the old mandrill reminded him. "I will," he said while getting into a comfortable position. He drifted off to sleep.
