Chapter 7: Fun and second Hijack attempt


It was 3:00 a.m. in the morning, Richard and Debbie wore sleeping in peace, until Richard a knock on the driver side of his truck, Richard woke up, opened the door and saw Simba, Richard says with concern, " What wrong, Dad?"

Simba says, " I had a nightmare about my Dad, I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to check on Debbie."

Richard says, " She's fine for now and let me guess, it is the nightmare about you trying to save your father, but Scar gets to you first, then your father falls down into the gorge and then Scar throw you down to the bottom of the gorge too."

Simba says, " Yes, but this time, Scar turned into Kovu and he his the one to throw my into the bottom of the gorge."

Richard understood, Simba had the same nightmare that occurs once in a while, about his father, but tonight it had Kovu in it, Richard thinks that it is because of the distrust of Kovu, causing the nightmare, Richard says, " Maybe it was to do with the distrust of Kovu and if I'm right, we need to find a way to get Kovu out of your nightmare for good."

Simba says, " How are we going to do that?"

Richard says, " Kovu is going to teach Kiara how to hunt, me and my friends will keep an eye on him and Kiara, until I give them a truck ride, today when the sun is up."

Simba says with worry, " But what about the Hijackers, if you run into them, they'll find you and they will try to take the weapons from you again."

Richard says, " They're going to have to try harder, to try to it from me and my friends, don't try to overprotect just like you do to Kiara, Damn."

Simba signs and says, " I am not going to argue, alright, but I hope this works."

Richard says, " I can't grantee that it will work, but I hope so too, thanks for waking me up, I need to integrate someone."

Simba asks, " Who?"

Richard says, " Remember the fire and the explosion yesterday?"

Simba says, " Yes, but what caused the explosion, you never told me what happened, yesterday."

Richard says, " the cause of the fire was by a truck that carries flammable gas that we call a Gasoline tanker, me and my friends saw the truck spread Gasoline around the area, then we saw two Outsiders with sticks that were on fire, when Lance confronted them and shot at them, it ended up turning into a pursuit, Laurence in his car pulled out a 12 gauge shotgun and shot the Gasoline tanker, when I stopped my truck, the Outsiders were gone, but the trucker was on the ground, we arrested him and put him in the back of the truck, his is probably asleep right now, want to talk to him?"

Simba says, " If it means ending this mess, yes."

Richard and Simba went to the back of the truck, opened the back door, get inside, close the door and confronted the truck driver which is asleep, sitting in a chair tied up, Richard woke him up and says, " Good morning, man." Richard than pulled out a colt 45 pistol from his back and puts it next to himself by his feet and begins the integration, " Now, I know that you are one of the Hijackers from Green's group, I haven't seen Green in awhile and if the Outsiders want the weapons, Green must have found them and made a deal with them, tell us what you know!"

The truck driver says, " I don't know anything."

Simba says, " Do you know, who I am?"

The truck driver says, " No."

Simba says, " I am King Simba, ruler of the Pridelands, I don't like to kill you, but if you don't tell me or my fostor son, what we want to know, I will make you my early breakfast, do you understand."

The truck driver got scared and says with his hands shaking, " Yes."

Richard asks, " Who are you?"

The truck driver said, " My name is Marcus, I am an MI6 agent undercover."

Richard says, " Yeah right, your lying."

Marcus says, " Look in my lift pants pocket for a badge."

Richard says, " Dad, watch him."

Simba watches as Richard look the badge, Richard than finds it, read it and says, " He's right, he's an MI6 agent, and not just any MI6 agent, he is 00 agent, he is 0012, 007 other wise known as James Bond, he is his partner."

Marcus says, " That's me."

Richard asks, " What do you know?"

Marcus says, " I'm sorry for not telling you, early but..."

Richard says, " I know, agents are not suppose to tell their enemies who they are or who they work for, but know we know you are and that you are good guy, but I still want to know what is Green and the Outsider leader Zira are up to?"

Marcus say, " I didn't see anything, but I did hear from Green say that he had made a deal with Zira and her followers, during the past eight mouths we have trained the Outsiders, how to drive and ride human vehicles and to shot human weapons, and now the Outsiders are now even more dangerous than they were before."

Richard and Simba sign, then Richard says, " Great, Now I know what could happen, The Outsiders and Green's men are both going to come after weapons, and if they get their hands and paws on them, it will mean not only the destruction of the Pridelands, but also the end of the world, if we don't stop them, now."

Marcus says, " But however, Green's men don't know where you are, but the Outsiders do, but they are going to tell them, until Green and his man, help them with the invasion plan of the Pridelands and getting the Outsiders ready."

Richard then says, " Okay, thank you, I am going to untie you, you are going to be sleeping in the truck, until the pride gets to know you better too."

Marcus asks, " What do you mean by, me too."

Richard says, " Kovu is here too, but we kind of don't trust him, do you know him?"

Marcus says, ' Know him?' I was the one chosen to teach him to drive a truck, for the first time."

Richard unties Marcus from the chair that they had him sit in as Richard says, " You can go and try to get some sleep, Dad, I got to think of a plan to solve this mess."

Simba leaves the truck and go back into the den to sleep, as Richard and Marcus thinks up plans to stop Zira and Green in their tracks for good, than after the plans were made Richard and Marcus did a hand/paw shake, Marcus now is sleeping in a small bed in the trailer, as Richard went back into the cab, where Debbie is and went back to sleep next her.


Morning came and the sun was out, as Simba woke up to this beautiful day, he got out of the den to stretch his legs, then he walked to the watering hole and gets a drink, while that was happening, Kovu gets into his pouncing position ready to kill, what Kovu doesn't know is that Lance is about 30 feet away from him, pointing a Dragumov SVD sniper rifle at him, Lance targeted Kovu's heart, he smiles and says, " I got you, right where I want you."

Kovu was about to leap out and Lance was about to shoot him, until Kiara surprised Kovu as she says, " Good Morning."

When Lance saw Kiara he ducked down to avoid getting seen as Kiara says, " I'm ready for you to teach me, come on." Kovu remembered that he is going to teach Kiara the proper way to hunt today, he looked back in frustration and follows Kiara, while Lance breathed heavily as he was relieved that he didn't have to kill Kovu, but he, Richard and his friends are still going to be on alert for anything suspicious,as Lance heads back to his friends.


Kovu sat on the grassy ground of the Savannah as he waited for Kiara to attack. He felt the ground shake beneath him. He could tell that Kiara is trying to sneak up on him as he said, " 3, 2, 1."

Kiara says as she try's to pounce on him, " Gotcha."

Kovu ducked down and Kiara landed on the ground on her back and says, " I guess you can hear me?" as she chuckles sheepishly.

Kovu says, " Yeah, only a lot."

Kiara got up from the ground as Kovu says, " Your still breathing too hard. Relax, Feel the earth under your paws, so it doesn't shift and make noise." Kovu unsheathed his claws to show her, Kiara did the same.

Kovu than saw birds gathering around the small hill, he crouched down and said whispering, " Watch the Master and learn."

Kovu then ran to the hill to catch a bird, but stopped to see Timon and says, " Don't eat me, I have never met you Tyrant... I mean Scar, Scar! Heck of a guy! A little moody, but-"

Kiara came down the hill and says, " Timon, what are doing here?"

Timon says, " Kiara! Thank goodness. Hey for once were not following you, this happens to be best Morgues board in the Pridelands! Bug's everywhere!"

Timon and Pumbaa tried to scare them away, but it wasn't working, as this was happening, Kiara was chuckling, then Pumbaa says, " Oh Timon, I'm getting tired, I gotta lose some pounds."

Timon climbed on top of Pumbaa and scared the birds off Pumbaa as he says, " Shoo! Shoo!"

Pumbaa see's Kovu and says, " Hey maybe he can help."

Timon says, " Oh yeah, there an idea." He said sarcastically. " Let the vicious Outsider..." Timon than got an Idea and said, " Wait, I have an Idea. What if he helps?" Timon looks at Kovu, Pumbaa nods before he found that Timon stole his idea, " What?"

Timon says, " Do you want to lend a voice?" Timon tried to do a roar, but couldn't do it, he turned to Kovu and says, " Gr... Roar! Work with me!" Timon said impatiently.

Kovu turned to Kiara with a confused look on his face, Kiara says, " Like this." then she breath in and did a roar, scaring some of the birds away.

Timon whooped. " Come on, do it again."

Kovu did a roar that even more louder than the last one, the they followed Timon and Pumbaa, as they were running Kovu asks, " I don't understand, what's the point of this training?"

Kiara says, " Training? This is just for fun." Kovu repeated, " Fun?"

Timon says, " You gotta get out more often. Fun!" Timon whooped.

Kovu says, " Yee-haw..." without much feeling. Then Kovu says, " Yee-haw!" This time he really meant it.

Kiara says, " Yee-haw!" they were having a great time, but it stopped when they were about to run into a herd of Rhinos. They stopped in front of them and said, " Uh oh..."

The birds stick their tongues out to them, as the Rhinos got angry and begin to charge at them. Kovu, Kiara, Timon and Pumbaa, ran away from the Rhinos. They turned a corner and hid behind a rock, so the Rhinos would pass right by them. As soon the Rhinos disappeared Kovu and Kiara started laughing at the crazy escape as Kovu said, " What a BLAST!"

Pumbaa says, " Oh sorry..." that only made Kiara and Kovu laugh harder as Timon says, " Your okay kid, your okay."

They realized how tight it was between the rocks walls and Pumbaa that was in front and started to push him, while that was going on, Kiara accidentally kissed Kovu, they started to apologizing to each other. Then Timon says, " Hey, are you two coming, or what?" Timon asked impatiently, then Kiara and Kovu followed Timon and Pumbaa on the side of a dirt road, they then saw a Black Semi and two cars pass them, they saw the vehicles stop on their side of the road, they walked to the vehicles and saw Richard and his friends, Kiara asks, " What are doing here, Richard?"

Richard says, " Oh just driving, I was on my way to a meeting outside of the Pridelands, I am supposed to meet a women from Switzerland which is located in Europe, her name is Dr. Lesa Malprave, she is a scientist and the boss of her company Malprave Industries, I am going to go meet her and bring her here to begin her research, If you want to come along I don't mind."

Kiara says, " I coming with you, Richard."

Kovu says, " Me too."

Richard says, " Alright, come on guys lets go."

Kovu was about to enter into Max and Laurence's car, but was stopped by Richard as he said, " What are doing?"

Kovu was about to explain, but Richard interrupted him and said, " Your riding with me and Kiara, just like last year."

Kovu was happy that Richard is letting him join with Kiara and the others in the truck, after everybody got in the truck, Kovu was surprised that even Richard and his friends are now animals, they can still drive their vehicles like if they were humans the whole time, Richard and his started their vehicles and headed to where Malprave is waiting for them, Richard with Moe, Kiara, Kovu, Timon and Pumbaa, were in the truck, in the Camaro it is John and Lance, in the Aston Martin DB5 it is Max and Laurence, Richard then turned on the radio and it said, " This is Radio Nairobi, today we are playing music from America, all day and all night, let's start with ' Driving My Life Away' by Rhett Akins."

Richard says, " Oh yeah, I love that song."

Kovu and Kiara asks, " How does it go?"

Richard picks up his CB radio and says, " Turn on the radio, guys." they did so.

Richard turned up the radio and the song started.

Driving my life away- Rhett Akins

Richard: Well the midnight headlights find you on a rainy night, steep grade, up ahead, slow me down, makin no time, but I gotta keep rollin.

Those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo, keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio, yeah gotta keep rolling

Chorus: Ooh I'm driving my life away, Looking for a better way, for me. Ooh I'm driving my away, I'm looking for a sunny day.

Richard says, " Come on Kovu, sing."

Kovu: Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me, tried to talk me into a ride said I wouldn't be sorry.

Kovu turned to Kiara, who was smiling.

Kovu and Richard: Ah but she was just a baby.

Moe: Hey waitress pour me another cup of coffee.

Richard, Kovu, Moe: Pop me down, jack me up, shoot me out, flyin' down the highway, I'm looking for the morning.

Chorus: Ooh I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a better, for me. Ooh I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a sunny day.

Every was listening to the music as Richard starts to sing again.

Richard: Well the midnight headlight find you on a rainy night, steep grade, up ahead, slow me down, makin no time, yeah gotta keep rollin.

Richard, Moe, Kovu: Those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo, keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio, Lord gotta keep rolling.

Chorus: Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me. Ooh I'm driving my life away, just looking for a sunny day.

Ooh I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a sunny daaaaaay.

The song ended and Kovu really understood Richard more clearly and says, " That is a good song, Richard."

Richard says, " It is the only thing that I got of what left of my old home, because I know that I'll never return." Richard starts getting upset, Kovu now felt guilty, and said, " Sorry Richard."

Richard says, " You didn't do anything wrong, you are my friend, just as Kiara is your friend."

Kiara agrees with Richard, " That right, your one of us."

Timon says, " Your not bad at all." Pumbaa nods his head.

Kovu was really happy about this and says, " Thank you, guys."

Richard says, " No, thank you." Richard and Kovu smile at each other, then Richard payed attention to the road, heading for his destination.


Richard, Kovu, Kiara, Timon, Pumbaa, John, Lance, Max and Laurence, are now on the highway, heading to where Malprave is waiting for them, they saw a Red WCA 64T Semi pass around them, when the truck went around them the truck it slowed down a bit, Kiara asks, " Why is this truck driver slowing down?"

Kovu says, " He's not in a hurry."

Richard says, " Nah, he is slowing down, because he's got a light load, if he makes one wrong and if he doesn't shift his gear and hit his brakes just right, he loses the load just like that."

They hit a bump in the road and Timon says, " What was that?"

Richard says, " A monster."

Timon smiles at that making Richard smile to, then Richard try's to go around the truck but to see a blue International Harvester S-series truck with cars on it coming at him at his lift side, the International Harvester almost hit the Richard's truck, Richard got back in his lane, then International Harvester is next to him, as a International 9200 that is yellow with two red lines on it, came next to the Camaro and the Aston Martin DB5 and hit the tow cars with it's trailer, and the cars ended up in the side of the road, as the truck was behind a Richard's truck, inside the trucks that boxed Richard inside are not just the Hijackers but also some Outsiders, Vitani is in the International 9200, the other two are inside the Red WCA 64T and the International Harvester, the International 9200 then hits Richard's truck from the back, Richard says " Man."

Timon says, " That's was no monster."

Then the International Harvester hit Richard's truck by the lift side twice, then the International 9200, hit the back of Richard's truck again, followed by the International Harvester, the driver inside the International Harvester said, " Pull over."

Richard says, " I got your game, sucker."

Richard then says, " Green and Zira's got us in a box, I got to get us out at the top of the hill."

Kovu agrees and says, " You can do it, Richard."

When they got to the top of the hill, Richard says, " We'll see about that."

Richard then hits the back of the Red WCA 64T and starts pushing the truck down the hill, the Driver inside the WCA 64T picks up a CB radio and says, " Junior, He's pushing me off the Damn hill."

Vitani picks up the CB radio and says, " Try your brakes, try your brakes."

The driver inside the WCA 64T try's it, but it does not stop, Richard says, " It ain't nothing like a caterpillar is it."

The cars were now behind the International 9200 and John then says into the CB radio, " Ease off Crews, your going to burn it up."

Richard still pushed the truck down the hill, as cars got out of the way, then Richard see a sign that says to use low gear, Richard then shifted his gear and says, " Alright guys, watch this."

When Richard made a turn, that made the trailer of the WCA 64T turn to it side just a bit, as Richard still pushed it down the hill, the driver still try's his brakes, but it was still no good, Richard than shifted his gear and braked, as the trailer from the WCA 64T fell off, Richard turned the trailer on it's side and got it out of his way, as the International Harvester hit the trailer and went down into a very step embankment, it turned over a few times killing the driver and the Outsider inside, as it stopped rolling, Moe says, " If he don't catch that gear, he's outta here."

The driver is now going down the hill out of control, he see's a car in the way and says, " Look out." as cars got out of the way, now it was just Richard's black Peterbilt 379 and the International 9200 left, Vitani in the International 9200 says, " Get him, Junior." Vitani thinks that Richard and his friends have killed her friend Marcus, she wants revenge.

Junior hit's the Gas paddle, as the International 9200 closes in on Richard's truck, Kovu says, " Okay, they going to ram us."

Kiara says, " Don't worry, Richard knows what he is doing."

Richard says, " She's right, and lets make it hurt a little bit."

Richard turns on his brake lights on, to make it look like he was going to slam his brakes on the International 9200, Junior believing that Richard is slamming his brakes on him, went around Richard's Truck, to only to end up on the left side of Richard's truck, then Junior and Vitani saw a gray Concrete truck, the concrete truck honked its horns, Junior turned the wheel missing the concrete truck, but Junior didn't have enough time to move the truck out of the way of the Gas pumps, as they exploded after hitting them, Vitani jumped out of the International 9200, after seeing a gasoline tanker trailer, Junior didn't have to get out as the truck crashed into the trailer causing an explosion, Richard, Kovu, Kiara, Moe, Timon, and Pumbaa looked at the explosion, Kovu and Kiara say, " Oh."

Richard says, " Damn."

With the driver in the Red WCA 64T, still tried to stop his truck, then he and Outsider a mobile home in the middle of the road, the driver tried to stop again, but it still did not stop as it crashed into the mobile home and rolled three times, killing the driver and the outsider inside, and finally the truck came into a complete stop.

When Richard and his friends came to the wreaked mobile home, Kovu says, " That thing is gone, it destroyed."

Richard says, " Remember when I said, about shifting the gear and hitting the brake?"

Timon says, " Yeah."

Richard says, " that is what happens when you don't pay attention to the road." As Richard and his friends drive away from the destroyed moblie home and Red semi.


After an hour, after the second Hijack attempt, Kovu, Kiara, Moe, Timon, and Pumbaa, congratulated Richard for is bravery against the Hijackers, then in ten minutes, the arrived at their destination, they saw a women waiting by her car, everybody knew that it was Malprave, the scientist from Switzerland, Richard and his friends meet Malprave and begin to talk about the end of the crisis in the Pridelands and the arrest of Green and his men and also an execution of Zira, then after the meeting was over, Malprave followed Richard to his trailer, when Richard opened the door, Marcus comes to the door and says, " What the hell was going on?"

Richard says, " Green and Zira came after the load again, but I stopped them." Richard turns to Malprave and says, " Oh I almost forgot, Marcus this is Malprave, Malprave this is Marcus, also known as 0012, of the MI6."

Malprave shocked hands and then Marcus followed Malprave to her car, and Malprave followed Richard and his friends back in the Pridelands, when they got back it was night fall, and Kovu and Kiara went somewhere to have fun, while Richard then went for a walk, as Malprave, Marcus, John, Lance, Max, and Laurence begin to help Malprave with her research.
