A/N: For the first chapter the focus will jump around from character to character. Takes place at the end of Lion King 2 with my views on how things end up with the Lion Guard added into it. I do not own Lion King.
P.S. Chapter Rewrite...
Fuli was cornered. No matter where she dashed off to there was another predator waiting for her. A hyena or two she could take on by herself, but add in a outland lion to the mix. This was bad for her and for the Pride Lands and every creature in-between.
It all started with Janja and two of his goons chasing a herd of gazelle at dusk, right when Fuli was going to curl up for the night. She caught them out of the corner of her eyes and thought she better deal with them now instead of wasting time gathering the Lion Guard up. Besides, it was Janja and even when Fuli was a cub she had no problem wrecking their plans. As a young mature cheetah this should be easy. She chased them into a ravine on the edge of the Pride Lands only to find a whole cackle of hyenas waiting for her. This wasn't an idea situation for her but it's not like they could catch her if they tried. So she turned tail and started to run but Nuka and a lioness at his side blocked her path. He just cackled at her surprised look before he lunged at her with his claws ready. She easily dodged his attack and turned down a different path in the ravine only to find a couple of hyenas and two lioness waiting for her there. This was now getting on her nerves as she dashed back to a different ravine. Again she found herself out maneuvered and outnumbered. Her next two paths were just the same plus to top things off it started to rain and not just a light spring shower. No mother nature decided that this was a good time for a down pour.
So now she has her side pressed against the canyon wall in the outland with two lioness and three hyenas surrounding her. A hyena rushes in to attack only for the cheetah to use her claws to keep the hyena at bay. That is when she notices the other two holing back. She knows those two from Jasiri's cackle, Tunu and Wema were staying back behind the other hyena and didn't even look like they were being aggressive with her at all. Fuli took another swipe at the unknown hyena when she saw the lioness move in on her. She dips under one lioness's attack and meets the other one head on. Both felines scratch into each other for a bit before backing away from each other. Fuli feels her face is on fire and soon her right eye starts to swell up. This causes her sight to blur a bit and she loses sight of the hyeans for a moment.
She swings her head around to bring them back into sight only to see more of them then there was before. This disheartening fact brings her spirits down just as a hyena attacks her. She brings her wrath down on this hyena, biting her jaws down hard into the hyena's neck, dragging the poor creature to ground so she can dig her claws into the soft belly of the beast. This left Fuli defenseless as the two lions dive into her backside. One latches on to her neck and tries to break it with jerking motions while the other attacks her back left leg. This one is able to get a good hold on the cheetah's leg and bite down, there is a loud snap and Fuli has to let go of her victum as she lets out a howl of pain. This would have given the lions the perfect opportunity to finish her off, excpet a whole cackle of hyenas decides to bring themselves down on the lions at this moment.
Fuli tries to get her paws under her but the wounds from the lions were to painful, her back leg is not responding to her commands, her head feels heavy and light at the same time, and her throat is on fire. She couldn't see clearly as blood is now flooding her vision. She gasps out in more pain as something strikes her across her throat, taking out the last of her will to even try to stay up. She lays the on the ground as she watches hyena and lions fight before one hyenas fills her vision. Fuli sees the hyenas mouth moving but she could not make out anything being said. The hyena decides to start licking her face frantically and soon Fuli can make out details of the hyena, her old friend Jasiri is there doing the cleaning. Seeing as she wasn't trying to finish her off in that moment Fuli knew she is safe and lets the blackness take her.
Jasiri looks over at the fighting that is going on when all of a sudden another lioness is at her side with a honey badger on her back. Jasiri could almost laugh in delight if she wasn't fearing for Fuli's life right now. The lioness she did not know but Bunga she knows all too well and backs away from their cheetah friend. She gives a call out to her cackle which they knew was to back off and defend. Which they did in one movement and know stood shoulder to shoulder with the new lioness against the two lioness. The other hyena that attacked Fuli lay on the ground between the two parties lifeless.
"Should have figured you hyenas would stick to the Pridelanders. Zira was right about you being weak and stupid, you best get out of here before we return. Filth!" The lionesses limped off with a growl on their lips.
Wema and a couple of hyenas move to face the lioness, honey badger, cheetah, and Jasiri. Their hackles still raised as they eye the lioness.
"Stop it, they are our friends." Jasiri pleads as she steps in front of the lioness who is now growling at them in return.
"You know I hate Janja as much as any hyena in this cackle does, and even more so with those termite infested lions. I just don't see why we have to be friendly with these Pride Landers when they see us as a threat." Wema growls out
"I believe in time they will let us in and we were close to it too. But after tonight..we need not to be hostile them at all. My dear friend Fuli is hurt and you want to fight still. Use your head Wema, at the very least they will not run us out from the outlands because of tonight's events. We have lived just fine so we will continue to live like this if need be so set your hackles down now!"
Bunga starts to frantically run about Fuli. "Fuli, oh hapana! Not good not good! Tiifu! There is so much...so much..." Bunga faints from the amount of blood.
The lioness whips her head around to look at the honey badger and cheetah. She gives the hyenas one last glance before dashing over to Fuli to look her over. Jasiri walks over to join her while glaring at Wema.
"We will help them because that is what Kion has done for us on many occasions. Now scout ahead to make sure no animals are waiting for us." Jasiri noses Fuli as Tiifu starts licking around the wound on her throat. Jasiri can tell the lioness is about to panic.
"This is bad, real bad. We need to get her back to the Pridelands. Ummm..Jasiri is it? Can you lift her on to my back?"
"She should be well enough to get back to Pride Rock, it seems the rain is letting up." As if the world was waiting for Jasiri to say those words there was a large crash from down the canyon. Every head turns that way, even a honey badger one.
"How bad are the Pridelands right now?" Tunu asks as she comes up to help with the lifting.
"Last I heard Simba gathered the lioness up to face Zira's pride. Zuri went looking for Kiara, who went to find Kovu. Hyena's were attacking Beshte while some vultures attacked Ono. Thankfully Hadithi was with Ono so those vultures had no chance and when you pick on Beshte you also pick on his bellow fellows." Bunga says as Tiifu lowers herself to the ground so she is on the other side of Fuli.
Bunga places his head on Fuli's chest to feel it raise up and down as the cheetah takes small shallow breaths. He also could hear that rapid heart beat of her's.
Tunu looked at Bunga and saw he was favoring his right leg while she and Jasiri work on getting the cheetah onto the lion's back. "Take it you had an encounter as well?"
"It was Un-bunga-livable! There I was...sleeping! Of all things to do to a honey badger while he is sleeping. Tano was on me and you should have seen it!"
"You fought him off?" Tunu asks with shock.
"What? Oh no...Tiifu came out of no where and swiped him off! NNe was near by too, you know. Two hyena's against one honey badger, but the moment he saw Tiifu all over Tano...he turned tail. Tano ran off too...well more like dragged himself off. The moment Modoa showed up about seeing Fuli's situation Kion sent us to get here. He would be here too but he ran into a batch of lions and hyenas. He told us to continue on while he took them on. Modoa stayed behind to help." Bunga pats Fuli's side once she is safely on Tiifu's back. Blood is still slowly flowing from her and Bunga can tell Tiifu is about to panic.
"Come on you lot! We can talk while we get Fuli back to Priderock. Jasiri you are more then welcome to join us. As long as you follow Kion and my orders." Bunga says as he starts to guide. In that moment Bunga knew things were going to change.
A/N: Been awhile so don't be too rough on the comments, but don't be soft either! And yes there will be rewrites from time to time when others are willing to help me out.
