Hi everyone

Disclaimer: Lion King belongs to disney.

I went to Pride Rock and got Simba who was up bright and early. Sarabi was cautious, telling me he was still grounded. I simply nodded and told her we will be back soon. Soon after, the nuisance of a cub kept pestering me about the little 'surprise' as we make our way to the gorge.

"Now you wait here. Your father has a marvelous surprise for you." I tell him, thinking it would be easy.

However, I was wrong. "Ohh what is it?" The cub curiosity got the best of him. I don't know how Mufasa put up with this cub everyday, he is so annoying.

I answer, "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now, would it?" I hope to get the cub curiosity off my case. But of course that adds on his curiosity. Ugh! If this cub was my son, I would jump in a fire pit!

"If you tell me, I still act surprise." He said with a smile. Him, like his father when he was his age, love surprises. When I was a cub, I never got surprises from my father, only my mother.

"You are such a naughty boy." I said with a force smile.

"Come on Uncle Scar." He place both of his paws on me and stood up with his back legs, clearly not liking the answer I kept giving him for his little 'surprise.'

I answer, shaking my head, eyes close. "Nonononononononono. This is just for you and your daddy." I wasn't sure what I was saying now. "You know like a father-son thing." I begin to perk up. "Well. I better go get him." Finally walking away but the cub still didn't let up.

"I come with you."

"No!" I snapped, getting tired of him. That will ruin my plans and Mufasa and Simba would be safe! Quickly regaining my composer, I calm down. "Hehe. No. Just stay on this rock." I walk up and he back up to the rock. An idea struck me "Want another mess like you did with the hyenas?"

"You know about that?" The cub once happy face turn into sadness and that what make me excited.

"Oh Simba everybody knows about that." I said, mocking him.

"Really?" He ask surprise and sadden, remembering his failure last night. Embarrassment cross him.

"Yes. Luckly daddy was there to save you, eh?" I got more excited at the cub embarrassment and place a paw on him. "Ooh just between us. You wanna want to work on that little roar of yours." That struck me there. If he roar, he think he start the stampede. His last moments could be that he blame himself for his own death.

"Oh ok." The cub said, agreeing with his uncle sadly. If he roared better, Nala and him would have been safe and he could be a hero and not punish. Then he perk up as I walk away from the small gray rock and little tree. "Hey Uncle Scar. Would I like the surprise?"

"Oh Simba! It to DIE for." The irony of this made me laugh inside. I begin to walk up the cliffs, knowing that the impatient hyenas are waiting on top of the gorge. Banzai or Ed always acted without thinking no matter what Shenzi tells them so if I halt anymore, I may get trap myself. And if that happens... I shutter thinking of that.

I stop in my tracks and gaze back at Simba to see he got bored and was roaring at a chameleon. Remind me of me when I was a cub. I chuckle. I realize what I just said. Wait! No! This brat is not like me! He's annoying! And a copy of his father!

I felt the ground shaking under beneath me and I look on the cliff I was climbing that thousands or even millions of wildebeests came down. I saw Shenzi, Banzai and Ed standing there, looking at the wildebeests and the cub below. I also notice the cub was now running for dear life.

A voice came in his head. Do the right thing. Show everyone who you really are. The voice kept replaying over and over in my head. As much as I try to ignore it, I couldn't. It was stuck inside me like a mice eating cheese. I look back to see Simba on the tree. The boy hanging on for dear life, now it was my decision. Even if I should go get his father, the boy might be dead as we arrived. And to be honest - Simba being killed kinda struck me. He look up to me and if I save him, I may be look upon as a hero like Mufasa.

Simba was clinging on a dead tree, praying he would live. His uncle was gone. His father wasn't here. He would never see his family and friends again.

I ran to the edge of the cliff and stare at him. Thinking about what should I do. I nodded, knowing what I had to do. I am not Scar, I am Taka and it thanks to my mother who hadn't gave up on me, even in spirt and always will be my hero and inside of me. Before I can react, I jump in the gorge, having one more priority on my mind - saving Simba.

From the distance of the gorge. Mufasa and a majordomo was sitting on his back. The majordomo notice something amiss. This majordomo was called Zazu, he took over after his mother, Zuzu, died. Decided telling his king, he said, "Look sire. The herd on a move on."

"Odd." Mufasa knew he had to check it out, knowing that the herds wouldn't be moving just like this.

At the gorge, I was running with the wildebeests. I saw an opportunity to get to Simba, I dodge one and ran pass another, almost reaching him. Suddenly, I was knock down by one with sand and dirt in my eyes, looking up at Simba with bewildered and shock.

Simba who was clinging on the tree knew the tree won't stay forever. And if there is no recuse soon the prince of the pride lands would perished today. One blind wildebeest slam into the tree.

As the tree breaks, Simba was send to the air, screaming. I recovered and got a hold of myself and jump, catching my nephew with a grunt. I ran, trying to find a place where I and Simba will be safe. I drop Simba due to my jaw connecting to one wildebeest, sending Simba forward, him being knock into a great distance.

The cub connected to the ground harshly, dodging all the wildebeests, looking for his savior. Simba knew he couldn't dodge all of them forever. It seems like no one was going to save him and Simba start to lose hope he will survive.

I felt pain crossing my whole body and my head was hurting. My legs hurt from all of that running and jumping. But then realized, Simba! The cub could die and I would never be know as a hero and show the pride who I really am. Ignoring all the pain of my body, I ran in the direction I dropped Simba. I saw my nephew was about to give up hope and was getting tired.

I ran forward and grab Simba by his tuff and pick him. I been gentle so I don't snapped his neck and this recuse mission be all but lost. I saw an ledge and knew this was my chance, perfect for my idea. I jump to the ledge and place half of my body on the ledge and realised Simba. Simba was safe, now I can show the pride who the second-born is. I fix myself and got in position to jump higher. However, before I can, something stabbed me in the flank and send me away from Simba who cried out for me in surprise. "Uncle Scar!"

I was being run over, painful feet kept running over me. From the corner of my eye, I saw a cliff. Although it was stupid, I admit. Maybe someone would be on top of the cliff and can help me. I'm going to take that chance. I use all of my willpower and jump from the ground and onto the cliff, my head connected to cliff painfully.

I deepen my claws inside of the cliff, the jump was painful and my bones ache. I slid a bit but I manage to cling on. But I climb higher, knowing if I fall back in the stampede, I would die. At first, I was climbing higher easily, but as more pain cross my body and because of this pain, I begin to climb slower and a few times I believe I was going to fall back in. The thoughts of falling back in made me choke even more. I finally made it to the top of the cliff but there is a problem, I couldn't reach up to the platform, my backleg due to wildebeests horns stabbing me everywhere.

All I could do is stay there and struggle, thinking about my nephew, my soon to be child that's still in Sarafina, Sarafina, Sarabi, mother, my brother. Wait my brother! As if on cue, my brother appear, staring at me. I had to beg for my brother help for the first time in years. No way! I begin to slid. Hehehe on second thought. "Mufasa!" I slid down again and knew my fate rested in his paws. I manage to kept on the cliff. "Brother! Please help me!" Rocks fall on my paws, I was slipping and there was not much energy left inside of me.

All my brother did was stare. Bah! I knew my brother hated me! Was this the price of saving Simba?! Is this what the so call great kings of the past wants this to happen after all the evil deeds I done?! Just dying a painful death and my brother doing nothing about it! If I die, I think the pride would talk and whisper about it for a few months but I highly doubt the Pride would even care of what Mufasa did to me. I was always the dark prince, the shadow prince, brother of the king. Death was nearing me as I struggled to cling on the cliff. I look up to my brother, horror and pleading eyes connected to amber and tough eyes. That just it, Mufasa is perfect in every single way, tough is his stromg suit however. All my strength was gone and now I couldn't took it anymore, the pain overcome me, just when I was about to let go, two golden and loving paws connected to my brown paws. I look up to my brother to see his stomach exposed and his eyes stare into mine. I thought for a moment he was going to let me go and throw me back in the gorge and let me get trampled. Something that Ahadi would do in a heartbeat or what I might've done to Mufasa if Taka in me didn't broke free. He got closer to my ear and whisper, "It's time to live brother."

Brother? For years Mufasa referred me as Scar or just you. But now in his paws, he call me brother. It felt different and it made me felt happy. Mufasa begin to pull me up, I couldn't believe it, after avoiding and possibly hurting him for years he still loved me. Mufasa finally had me on the ledge alongside him. I notice Simba ran up to me and nuzzle my leg, before my brother welcome me with a hug. I smile at the both of them, Taka's had stick through and had return, Scar was gone. Suddenly, without warning, I fell to the ground and my world fade to black.

"Brother!"

"Uncle!"

Was all I hear before I was fully consumed by the blackness.

A/N So is Scar okay?
