The sun was shining on a beautiful morning in the Pridelands. King Simba and Queen Nala had their hearts lifted and were relieved all the evils were gone.
Kiara was so glad that her father let Kovu stay with them along with the rest of the former outlanders. They are "one" as Simba had put it when he was teaching Kiara
that they will always be together. Simba was out doing his usual rounds at keeping the Pride lands safe and was on border patrol. Zazu was becoming an old majordomo and Kiara was about to have a newborn cub this new moon. Nala was sleeping in the den and Kovu was asleep next to Kiara and Vitani. Rafiki was very old now and knew that sometime in the next full moon it would be his time to join the great king Mufasa's spirit and guide Kiara and the family. Rafiki was making a concoction now and was quite content... A soft wind then blew with leaves and feathers and Rafiki reached up and grabbed one. He sniffed at it and gasped. Rafiki my old friend... Scar is returning to the Pride lands. "Mufasa, what do you mean Scar is returning to da Pride lands?" The feather blew out of his hand and a leaf went into it. His spirit is coming and you need to find someone to help my son fight him...before you...join me."I see... My time is soon coming... But Mufasa, who will I find to help Simba and Nala?" You will know when the time is right my friend... Don't tell Simba yet, but tell whoever you find to help him, that you are sending them to help your friend Simba in a place called the Pride lands... "Yes Mufasa, I'll find this someone tomorrow!" Thank-you old friend... Then the wind picked up the feathers and leaves and blew them away. Rafiki used his juices and painted something that looked like an evil lion's spirit...Scar.
In Amity Park...
"Here dude,catch!" Tucker threw the thermos at Danny. "Thanks Tuck!" "Hey Skulker!" "Wa? AAH!!" The thermos sucked in Skulker like a vacuum.
Danny flew down to Tucker and Sam and changed back into his human form. "Come on guys let's go put him back in the ghost zone and then go walk around the neighborhood." Sam suggested. "Yeah, ok sure!" Danny said. They walked back to Fenton Works, Danny's house, and went down to the lab. No one was down there so they opened up the thermos and literally, Skulker was pulled into the whirling green portal and the door shut quickly. "Alright, let's go walk!" Tucker said. Even though I just want to use my PDA... So the three friends walked out of the house and started strolling around the neighborhood. They went into the woods of Amity Park and were walking along a narrow path. "Uh guys? I have to go!" Tucker shouted. "What? We just started walking!" Sam argued. "No Sam, I have to go!! You know...GO!" "Danny raised an eyebrow. "Uh, T-M-I Tucker!" "Well I really do!" "Then go behind that tree, we won't look!" The two friends turned around and Tucker walked behind the tree. It was about five seconds later until Sam spoke. "Ahh, a Snake!" Sam suddenly burst out. "Where?" Danny asked. "Right there!" Sam pointed in front of their feet and took off in the opposite direction of where Tucker was, about ten feet away. "Sam,wait!" Danny was starting to run after her but tripped and fell into a wide, deep hole and fell unconscious...
In the Pridelands...
Rafiki had finished painting when he saw a a green and blue swirl -a cloud perhaps- open up in the sky. He saw a strange creature -with four limbs like Rafiki but no tail- fall right out of that swirling thing-that-looks-like-a-cloud and hit the ground. The almost-cloud was a few feet above the ground and it was swirling into disappearance. Then it was gone. But the creature...was not. Rafiki climbed down his big tree and stepped cautiously toward this unknown living thing with his stick. Rafiki considered poking him with the stick but decided not to. Instead, he backed up about three feet away as he realized this creature was waking up and slowly getting to his feet. "W- Where am I?" Rafiki could see he spoke his language, but how? "AAH A MONKEY!" The creature Rafiki couldn't recognize backed up slowly. "Wait! What are you?" Rafiki asked suspiciously."What?! You can talk?" This thing was fascinated by Rafiki and Rafiki began to smile. "I am Rafiki and I am too surprised we can speak the same tongue. I am not a monkey by the way, I am a mandrill or a baboon. I am the shaman of the Pride lands." The creature was still dumbfounded he could talk to a mandrill. "Uh well, I..uh... Nice to meet you. I'm Danny, but do you know how I got here?" "Well something like a cloud appeared in the sky and you fell out of it. I don't know what it was though. But are you going to answer my question? What are you?" Danny looked puzzled when Rafiki said 'cloud', 'sky' and 'fell'. "Uh, I am a human. Well actually, I'm two things... I'm half human and I'm half ghost. Or spirit, I guess." Rafiki looked surprised when Danny said 'spirit'. "Oh you are the one! You are the one to help my friend defeat an old enemy that has returned!" Danny looked deeply confused. Was this mandrill crazy? "Excuse me?" Danny asked. Rafiki repeated, "You! Listen, there is a great king -a lion- that rules over these lands and his uncle died many years ago...But his spirit has returned and the king's father is a spirit as well. The king's father, Great king Mufasa, has told me to find someone to stop Scar! That is the evil lion's name. You are half spirit so you can help! Mufasa told me to find someone to help king Simba! That is the name of our current king!" Danny understood now, so a lion is in danger? His kingdom in danger? This seemed all to weird for our heroic phantom fighter. But if he was fighting the ghost of a lion, it was all fine by him. It wasa ghost right? "OK Rafiki...I'll help you." "Thank-you my friend! Come, I must introduce you to King Simba!" Danny followed the strange but wise baboon into the African Savannah.
In Amity Park...
"What you guys? A snake?" Tucker zipped up his pants and walked out from behind the tree to where Danny and sam were standing. Sam was about twenty feet away and she finally turned around. "Hey Tuck!! Did you see the snake?" Sam called loudly. "No, but it's gone...Hey, where's Danny?" Sam ran back to Tucker but saw the hole and ran around it. "I don't know I think he was following me..." Sam gasped. "What?!" Tucker asked worriedly. "Oh-no...He must have fell in that hole!" Sam ran back to the hole and looked down. It wasn't very deep... "No he isn't there..." Tucker said. "Danny?" Sam asked. No reply. "DANNY?!" Tucker and Sam both shouted, not in the hole, but all around them. "Oh no, what if a ghost has him?" "Well wouldn't we have heard him?" Tucker replied. The two friends saw no trace of Danny. It was getting late and Sam and Tucker knew they had to go home. "Well maybe he already went home." Tucker said, trying to make them both feel better. "Yeah, you're probably right." So Tucker and Sam went home that evening a little relaxed and hopefully, They would see Danny at school the next morning....If not?
