Chapter 1

"A New Body, Same Mind"

As her captors celebrated the wedding of a future Wazari Chief, the former queen of Opar was trapped inside the body of a rat and trying to figure out a way to escape the prison that held her. For all that Queen La knew, she was defeated but this would only be a temporary adjustment. She had to escape and regroup, what she would need was a new stronger body to finish what she had started a long time ago.

"I must escape and claim a new host," La thought to herself as she pushed with all her strength and managed to knock the urn that held her. The urn had made a loud noise, but because all the Wazari's were celebrating, La was able to escape without any detection. "You haven't seen the last of me. For when I have enough time, you will all bow before Queen La!"

Creeping off into the night, La hid behind a bush when she heard the sounds of voices out in the distance. She saw her primary target and her husband walking away from the village with the target's father and animal friends with her. This made La very cross for all she was concerned; the target was a threat to her. All La ever wanted was to kill the female and make the male her own. After everything that happened to her, La wanted a king to rule beside her in Opar.

"Enjoy your victory while you can, Jane," snarled La. "Once I have regrouped and found a new body, I will finish what I had started and your precious Tarzan will be mine."

As they disappeared from her view, La began to scamper throughout the jungles and look for anything, anyone whose body was strong enough for her to possess. She didn't want a weak body, but a strong one. A body strong enough and capable of causing fears to Tarzan and the others. Just then, La heard a low but menacing growling sound coming straight towards her. Normally, other creatures would run for their lives at a sound like that, but for La, this was a golden opportunity to finally gain an advantage in her quest to make Tarzan her own.

"The time has finally come," she thought as La saw the creature running in a shroud of pure darkness. Its eyes glowing pure gold as opened its jaws and began to chew on the rat body that La possessed. Once the rat body was weak enough, La escaped from the rat and slowly crept into the mind of the creature that attacked her.

Once she had full control, the creature stopped and threw the dead rat out into the bushes. A flash of red eyes soon followed and La walked over to a stream to find out what creature she had now become. Looking down at the water, she could see that she had become a creature that she had control over for a very long time. The moonlight had revealed that Queen La had now become a leopard and not just any leopard, but a reincarnation of Sabor, the leopard who had killed Tarzan's parents as well as Kerchak and Kala's baby gorilla. This made the Queen of Opar chuckle to herself and now, she had an advantage that she had always wanted to have.

"Yes, yes, this is the body that I need," she laughed to herself. "With the body of a leopard, I can easily finish off that Jane and make Tarzan my own! But, there is something else that I need and that is minions, warriors to do my bidding."

La knew that finding minions would not be easy and she certainly didn't want the three hyenas who had previous been her lackeys for all she was concerned; they were useless in her eyes. She also began to think of the French Foreign Legion officers that she impressed into joining her services after their leader, Colonel Staquait was killed on Cape Doom. Most of them were already dead or near dead from Tarzan and Basuli's attack on Opar.

La wanted to only have the best of the best of the jungle's most feared predators and throughout the night, she searched and searched until finally, she came across a den of leopards with the fierce jungle cats sound asleep with their young at their mother's stomachs.

"They will do nicely," whispered La, a sinister grin coming across her face as she stepped forward towards the den. If she was going to be a leader of this pack of leopards, she needed to kill the leader. La may not have been a leopard for very long, but her instincts inside her told her to head to the center cave where the leader was believed to be hiding.

Creeping in quietly, La stepped into the cave and found what appeared to be a really old leopard that was fast asleep. La then growled to herself and got herself ready to attack the sleeping leopard. What then followed was growls and roars that woke up the entire den. Many of the leopards who had previously been asleep were awakened by the sounds of growling and panicked roars from the elder leopard.

Moments later after everyone had gathered, the newly powerful Queen La emerged with the dead body of the den's leader, tossing it out of the cave and onto the ground where all the leopards were assembled.

"I am your new leader now," barked La to the small crowd of leopards who looked up in horror and disgust. "I am La and you will all bow down to me! Refuse to bow down and you will suffer the consequences of your previous leader."

The leopards wanted to revolt, but those words of power and threatened death sent fears throughout the leopards made them realize that La was not going to tolerate anyone trying to overthrow her.

For the time being, La was their leader and soon, the game was about to be taken to a whole new level…
