It's been quite a while, but I'm here at last. I've been doing a lot of stuff, including recording scripts by ThatPersonYouMightKnow and associated people. Anyway, here we go on our most exciting story yet!
Greg M 94: As awesome a team as Shocker, Interceptor and Froggy were, I think today's featured villains are a tad more menacing…
kora22: That was one of my favorite parts to write. Indeed, nothing like a bump on the head from Rafiki to provide a humorous way to teach a lesson.
DarthRushy: Why didn't Mufasa knock out the cubs? You'd have to ask him. Why does Rafiki have weird potions? We all know how crazy that monkey is…
the-mysterious-other: I'm so glad you liked it!
snheetah: Mheetu can be helpful at times, so long as it benefits him in some way. And of course Nala is better off with Simba, just as Simba is better off with her. Why wouldn't they be?
Chu10: You imagined him with another voice, huh? Interesting. Glad you liked my performance though! You can hear more of my Tojo impression in the "Blind Date" recordings. And yes, Mheetu is a pretty awesome cub. He has the slimy charisma of his future father-in-law, who we'll be seeing pretty soon…
Axis of Evil
Chapter One: A Relaxing Morning
The sun was rising high over the Pride Lands, casting a golden-red glow across the savannah. Alas, no one was awake. Thus, there was no one there to appreciate its beauty.
That is, except for a certain pair of cubs sitting at the very top of Pride Rock. Simba and Nala were bearing witness to one of the many spectacular sunrises that had graced the Pride Lands in the course of the kingdom's long history.
"It's so beautiful!" Nala smiled.
She's even more beautiful, Simba smiled to himself. She outshines this by a mile.
"I wonder what we're going to do today?" Simba asked.
"Go off on another adventure and get ourselves in danger?" Nala wryly asked in return.
"Our last adventure wasn't dangerous at all!" Simba exclaimed.
"Yeah, but it was still risky," Nala smiled. "What if those cubs had found out about…what happened?"
"Well, they never will," Simba declared. "Now that I'm back to my old self, nobody will ever know."
Simba was referring to an incident that had occurred about three days ago where he had accidentally turned himself into a young wild dog after drinking one of Rafiki's potions. That would be a story he would have to tell his own cubs one day…
"Hopefully we won't have to confront any real bad guys today," Nala smiled.
"Yep," Simba agreed. "The hyenas, Vitani, Khara, One-Eye… Once is enough, for all of them."
"It's so funny," Nala observed. "Hardly anyone remembers the Elephant Graveyard incident, even though that was our first adventure… and the day we met."
The best day of my life, Simba smiled, with a dopey grin on his face.
"I think we remember Vitani and Nuka all too well," Simba frowned.
"I haven't seen them in a while," Nala smiled.
"I think Vitani healed up a while ago," Simba explained. "She'll probably be up and about again soon enough."
"I think I heard your dad saying she might be back today," Nala grimaced.
"Mheetu will be happy," Simba groaned.
"We did manage to actually get rid of one enemy, though!" Nala chirped.
"Yeah. No more Khara," Simba smiled. "I bet there's probably not much left of him at the bottom of that pool."
Nala shook her head. "Probably not."
"But what about One-Eye?" Simba asked. "We didn't kill him, and you know how revenge-bent that guy is."
"Well, it's been over a week," Nala smirked as she cocked her head. "I don't think he'll be back any time soon."
"I guess the only current enemies we have are Ibada and Sheeta," Simba frowned. "I wish they'd just give up. They've become the bane of my life. More than the real bad guys."
"Yeah," Nala nodded in agreement.
"Are there any places you wanna go today, Nala?" Simba asked.
"Not particularly. What places have we not yet been to, 'Explorer King?'"
"I'll ask Uncle Scar at some point," Simba smiled. "He always knows the best places."
"But he's the one that told you about the Elephant Graveyard!" Nala exclaimed.
"Nala, that was an honest mistake. He was misinformed, remember?"
"I know, Simba, but still, that's something to think about."
Simba looked down and noticed Mufasa and Sarabi emerging from the den.
"Mom and Dad are up!" Simba exclaimed. "Race you to the bottom!"
"You're on!"
