The Partnership of the Traitors

Ok this is set after Nala leaves the pride lands in Lion King 1 Enjoy!

Scar scanned over the Pride lands, the area was already drying up. The Hyena's were a rather unwelcome attraction but then so was Scar. Already almost twenty zebras had left. There was also talks that Nala had been killed outside the Pride lands. Scar noticed his "loyal" generals: Shenzi Banzai and Ed. They were all standing by a carcass of a zebra.

Scar jumped down off of the rocky crevasse and he strolled over to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. How are these my loyal subjects? Couldn't I do any better? Scar thought angrily to himself. There idiotic expressions made him realise that they actually were stupider then they looked.

"Hey Scar!" Banzai said cheerfully before seeing Scar's glare. " I mean Hey King Scar?" Banzai said sheepishly.

"That's better!" Scar grinned brushing back his mane and baring his white teeth.

"Listen Boss! We sure love living in the pride lands! But we're beginning to get a teensy weensy bit angry about the lack of food!" Shenzi said carefully.

"What?" Scar growled slowly pacing towards the Hyenas.

"Yeh What?" Said Banzai loudly. Turning towards Shenzi, she glared at him.

"Well boss…….you said we'd never go hungry while we were with you!……….And we're kinda peckish right now!" Shenzi cowered.

"Really? Well if you don't want to feel hunger there's a simple cure!" Scar muttered flashing his teeth and claws at her.

"You know what! I'm not that hungry to be honest! So I'll just go and…………….err…………do something!" Shenzi said greasily, running away. Banzai and Ed soon followed.

Scar groaned and climbed back up the rocks and marched into the cave. There he saw Zira a lioness who had ordered to see him.

Zira was tall and her coat was shiny and smooth. He stared into her eyes and he saw something young and beautiful. He thought back to when he had attempted to win over Nala. Perhaps Zira would make a good queen? He thought.

"What do you want?" Scar growled staring at her eyes.

"Oh Your lord! You are even more beautiful up close!" Zira purred.

"Really? You find me beautiful………" Scar grinned. This was turning out better than he thought it would.

"Yes and your so clever with your strength and your plans!" She glowered.

"Plans?" Scar said sharply. He drew himself away from her eyes. Was this a trap? He thought quickly.

"Yes! You're so bold and courageous and deadly! Mufasa deserved his death!" She said happily.

"WHAT!" He roared and leaped over to her. He sank his claws into her back. "What do you know?" He screeched.

"I…………….everything! I'm sorry but I followed you everywhere I was so fascinated by you! Your eyes! Your teeth! Your claws! Your scar!………" Zira begged. Tears filled her young eyes.

"Do you love me?" Scar said slowly removing his claws. Something in her eyes made him feel bad for treating her that way.

"Yes! I adore you!" Zira purred, rubbing her head against his body.

"But why wouldn't you!" Scar laughed jumping over to the side of the cave. He fell awkwardly and shook slightly.

"Are you ok?" Zira said quickly.

"Yes it's only my leg! I'll be fine!" He snapped. Scar slowly stalked over to Zira.

"Scar My Lord you need some rest……." Zira started.

"No!" Scar muttered tiredly. "I need……an heir" He said slowly.

"A What?" Zira said surprised lifting up her head.

"An heir" He said irritably. "The animals in the Pride lands grow hungry and angry…….and tho Mufasa and Simba are dead!……….I shall not be here forever! But my great name shall live on! Through My son!" Scar finished.

(To the tune of My lullaby from Lion King 2 Simba's Pride)

Listen, my faithful Zira
Open your mind and heart
One day I'll be dead and gone
But we'll never be apart!

I've been Scared, tossed aside
Left to grow old alone
When I think of Mufasa's speech's
I can't help but groan.

But I dream a dream so pretty
That I don't feel so depressed
'Cause it soothes my inner kitty
And it helps me get some rest

The sound of My dying gasp
But my future is in my grasp
You see I need a baby!
That's my future, see

Now my past was not easy
And my woes are very long
But when I feel the air so breezy
I burst into my song!

Zira: So you want to find somebody

to give you a legacy……….

Oh the wait won't be lovely!

But nothing ever is!

The melody of joyous miaows!

A counter point of ecstatic howls!

A symphony of my name!

That's my future, see

Mufasa's gone

But Scar's still around!

To rule this great land!

Till I go to my rest!

But until then It will be Grand!

Scar: Listen my faithful Zira! You beautiful little thing!

Zira (mournfully): When day when you're old and gone………

Scar: We will need a king!

The end of hearing my mighty roar!

The end of seeing my scared eye!

The joy of childbirth!

Zira: Testify!

I can hear the screaming!

Both: Scar! Oh why!

The end of me is nearing!

But then a new flag will fly!

Against a weeping sky!

That's my future, see

"Scar please don't say such things! I couldn't bear too see you dead!" Zira sobbed.

"Neither could I" Said Scar grinning. "Now Zira I need an heir! And only you I would trust would my son! My legacy! My Future!" Scar finished magnificently.

"I am honoured! That you would choose me Scar!" Zira smiled, bowing.

"No My dear, you bow to no one!" He smiled and softly breathed in her ear.

"Oh Scar you are my True love!" Zira smiled.

"And Zira through us we will have the most powerful lion ever created! My brains and your physique! What could go wrong?" Scar chuckled and pulled her close to him.

"Nothing, My love nothing!" Zira smiled and licked his smiling face.
