Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a new story or a remake. Twice over. I know I was working on this awhile ago but this time there's going to be some changes.

Now without further ado, here's the first chapter of Altered Lion King. Enjoy and happy reading!

The sun was shinning brightly over the peaceful Pridelands. But everything wasn't peaceful at the moment. A large yellow pelted lion ran across his kingdom as his red brown mane whipped around from the wind of his running.

At his heels were a pack of hyenas. Snapping at his paws, one managed to latch on making the king tumble to the ground. The hyenas circled him, laughing and licking their chops.

"Enough!"

The king and the hyenas looked and seen a rich brown lion with a black mane standing on a boulder. The lion jumped down where the yellow lion's amber eyes widen at the sight of a scar going down the left eye.

"Taka..."

The brown lion snarled before swiping at the fallen king. "It's Scar. Now to get what is rightfully mines."

With a raise of his paw, he took his father's life. Then he looked at the hyenas and nodded.

The hyenas laughed before running off towards the kopje in the distance, priderock.

With a evil smile Scar started to head the same way at a slow pace.

-O-

By the time Scar got to priderock the sound of terrified screams reached his ears. One in particular caught his attention.

"Mufasa!" a terrified female voice screamed.

With a dark chuckle brown lion headed towards the voice. Where he came across a dark beige lioness screaming and crying.

Scar looked at where orange eyes was looking at and smiled at the sight before his eyes.

A bunch of hyenas had pinned down a golden lion with a red mane. Other hyenas circled ready to go for the kill. The golden lion's amber eyes looked over to his brother and gave a sign of asking for help.

Scar walked over where the hyenas moved out of the way. The rich brown lion bend down and said loud and clear so everyone could hear him. "Give me the throne and I will spare your life."

Everyone gasped but a brownish lioness sobbed as tears began to fall from her leafy green eyes.

The lion was going to say something smart that would get him killed until he seen the tears in his mother and friend eyes. With a deep sigh the golden lion nodded. "I give up the rights to the throne."

Scar smiled before walking up the stoned slope of the kopje and walked over to the peak. "I am now your king! Bow down to your new and rightful king!"

One by one the lionesses bowed. Scar laughed before roaring, claiming the throne.

-O-

After the new king went into the cave the dark beige lioness and the brownish lioness ran over to the golden lion.

"Oh Mufasa, I'm glad you're alright!" wailed the dark beige lioness as she buried her head in his mane.

The brownish lioness nuzzled her son as tears fell from her eyes.

Mufasa nuzzled his mother and friend. Then he turned to the slightly younger lioness. "Sarabi. I'm alright. Please calm down...I don't want anything to happen to your cub. Kings above what will Amzi say?"

Sarabi looked at her friend before sobbing. "Amzi left. Not too long after I found out I was pregnant."

The brown lioness nuzzled the younger lioness. "It'll be alright, dear."

Just then the rest of the pride came running over with a young tawny beige lioness in the lead.

"What happened? We heard a roar." said the tawny beige lioness her orange eyes full of concern. When no one said anything she moved her eyes to the brownish lioness. "Uru?"

Uru sighed deeply before letting the lionesses that came back from the hunt what happened. "We have a new king."

A young tawny pelted lioness looked at the ex queen with questioning greenish eyes. "Who?"

"Scar. He threatened Mufasa into giving up the throne." Uru explained sadly.

Everyone gasped as a group of three hyenas walked over. The alpha female growled to get their attention. "King Scar wants you to hunt!"

Uru sighed before looking at spotted creatures. "I'll gather a party right away."

The hyenas snarled before turning and heading back towards the cave where the king was at.

Giving her oldest a nuzzle and a lick the brownish lioness walked over to a group of lionesses. By this time the party that the tawny beige furred lioness came with had went their own way. Minus the tawny lioness and her.

"Hiana...what are we going to do?" cried Sarabi, tears falling down her face.

The tawny beige lioness gave the golden lion a loving nuzzle not seeing the hurt looked sweep across the dark beige lioness' face. But the tawny lioness did and a smirk appeared.

Hiana looked at her sister and sighed. "I don't know but we'll get through this together."

Sarabi looked at her sister and friends and nodded only dreading the future to come.
