In another part of the savanna Scar waits to hear from the hyenas against the canyon wall till two Jeeps come closer to where he is with two men carrying rifles loaded with horse tranquilizer in case of predators or animal attacks. The jeeps are loaded with humans riding into the gorge to were Mufasa had fallen. Not wanting to be anywhere near the humans Scar runs out of the gorge away from them and goes to where he had thrown his brother in to the stampeding wildebeests to observe the humans.

He watched two human girls sitting next to his brothers body. One of the girls taking things out of her back before using some of them on the fallen king.

'This will work perfectly,' Scar wickedly chuckled to himself, 'The humans will take what ever they want from the body and maybe even the whole thing.'

Scar leaves the gorge heading back to the Elephant Graveyard to meet Shenzi, Ed, and Banzi. Meanwhile in the gorge Michelle saves Simba from the three hyenas by feeding them some beef jerky she had brought as a snack. The three hyenas tour into the bag of dried meat devouring every last piece, before turning back to the girl to finish the job. But more humans showed up out numbering the three hyenas. Michelle carried Simba into the Jeep then driving out of the gorge in a cloud of dust.

The trio make their way back to their hideout to meet Scar and inform him about what happened, "Some human female took the cub before we could finish the job."

"I believe this will work perfectly," Scar chuckled, "Any animal that a human comes in contact with are hardly ever seen again."

"But the cubs still alive," Shenzi questioned, "Isn't there a chance he will come back."

"Most likely not," Scar answered, "He will taken out of the Pride Lands to never been seen again and who knows he will either be kept as a pet or for his pelt. Get the others we must inform the pride of this terrible lost."

The hyenas chuckle maniacally as they fallow Scar out of the grave yard.

In the gorge Zazu comes too and starts frantically looking for Simba and Mufasa flying around the gorge. He flys to the tree that he had last seen Simba clinging to the branch for his life. The tree was broken in half with nothing in sight except for a dirt covered back pack. Zazu sits on the tree as a human male walks from a silver Jeep grabbing the bag calling to another male in the Jeep.

"I found Michelle's bag, radio her and let her know."

"Can't believe she left her bag," the man in the Jeep said reaching for a radio.

"She rescued a lion cub and found a wounded male lion I think her bag was the last thing on her mind till the little guy was safe."

"True. She is going to get one hell of a chewing out by her teacher."

"I don't think she will mind."

Zazu listened to the males talking about a large male lion and a lion cub which must have be the king and young prince. Zazu fallowed the humans hoping that he was right. The humans drove to a large group of tents in a circle with humans walking around the tents. Outside a large white tent with a red symbol above the flaps an older man was yelling at a younger female. Curious is this was the 'Michelle' the two men had talked about earlier Zazu flew to the tent landing on the ground near the front of the tent watching the two humans. The older male was yelling at the younger female but the female showed no signs of fear holding herself with pride.

"You can't just go wondering off by yourself,"the male scolded, "This isn't one of your mountain hikes back home Michelle! Not to mention feeding wild animals disregarding your teacher, running into a canyon after a lion, chancing hyenas. I am going to have to doc you points for your action."

"I understand sir," the women responded.

"You will be dropping a letter grade because of it."

The women stiffened but did not falter in her resolve, "It will have been well worth it. I do not regret any of my actions sir. I accept my actions and understand the repercussions of them."

"Good now go have those scrapes on your back looked at."

With that the women walked into the tent. Zazu quickly hoped in as the flap opened with out any of the humans noticing. There were other humans in the tent as well as different machines and cots on either end of the tent. Some humans were laying on the cots while humans in white coats looked over them. On one cot there was another women with short brown hair facing away from the entrance with a male in a white coat stood in front of her.

"How'd the chewing out go,"Nicky asked Michelle.

"Well I had a C in the class which will soon be turned into a D,"Michelle said flopping face first on the cot next to her. Zazu hide under the cots listening to the two human females conversation.

"Harsh," Nicky said back, "Was it worth it though."

"I wouldn't have done anything different and you know it," she replied as a medic started cleaning the cuts on Michelle's back. Which stung and Michelle started squirming, "Maybe running backwards ahh-haha."

"So this guy wasn't worth it," Nicky chuckled turning to face Michelle holding a sleeping Simba in her arms with one of his paws covered in a strange paste.

"He was very much worth the pain," Michelle said petting the lion cub, "I could look worse since I saved this little guy from hyenas with only a bag of beef jerky and a rock I throw at them to get their attention."

While the two were talking Zazu watched the young prince sleep in Nicky's arms. At the far end of the tent a doctor walked out from behind a divider where several other doctors were working on the large male lion. Setting any broken bones back into place, cleaning cuts, and giving medicine for the pain as well as to fight off infections.

"What's the diagnose doc," Michelle asked one of the medics that had walked out from behind the divider.

"They are almost done treating the last of the males wounds. The only major injury this little guy had was a bruised swollen paw which we put some medicine on to reduce swelling and pain. Though we did knock him out to keep him from licking the cream off before it can do it's job also to keep him from bitting us. Again."

"He is a very feisty cub when he wants to be," Nicky said, "It's really cute though."

"Is that why your hand is bandaged," Michelle pointed to the hand that was behind the cub.

"Yeah he got me with his claws," Nicky chuckled. While the humans talked Zazu moved down the line of cots till he got to the divider sheet. Using his wing Zazu moved the sheet aside enough for him to get past it. On the other side he saw Mufasa lying on a metal table with four other humans around him and several machines and tubes hooked up to the great king. He also saw two one of the humans were wrapping milk white strips of clothes dripping in a white paste around an injured leg.

Michelle then walked into the room, "Hey docs."

"Hello Michelle how's your back," a doctor named Ruth Rosery who had just finished bandaging Mufasa's front paws.

"Sore but no worse for wear," Michelle replied walking over to stand next to Dr. Rosery, "How's our lion king doing?"

"Amazingly still alive after that fall, and getting hit by what I can guess to be three wildebeests," said looking over a clipboard with notes of the lions injuries, before handing the clipboard to Michelle. She read over the notes quickly becoming a little puzzled at one of the injuries listed.

"Claw marks on front paws? Wonder how he could have gotten those I didn't see any other lions and the marks are too big to be our little cub."

"That is what we have been wondering to they match a full grown lion, and looks like he was latched onto then thrown off."

While the two talked Zazu snuck out of the medic tent a sudden realization coming to him. He had not seen Scar since the stampede, as he thought more on the events that occurred he remembered something hitting him from behind just as he was about to fly off and get help. He peeked in one last time to check on Simba who was now playing with a long wire that Nicky was holding jolting it up and down making the wire move while Simba pounced and clawed at the wire. Feeling that both the king and prince were safe he took off back towards Pride Rock. He had to tell Sarabi what had happened and confront Scar in front of the pride.
