Ch 3 A Dire Situation

As the hyenas advanced towards Suni suddenly Karaha jumped in front of her daughter. "No!" she shouted. "I won't let you kill her!"

"Look Karhara it ain't like I wanna do it," Janja declared. "But she's givin' me no choice here."

"Perhaps if she met Shenja she'd change her mind," Karaha suggested.

"Whose Shenja?" Suni asked, looking at her mother.

"She's your little sister," Karaha said, smiling at her oldest daughter.

"You guys had another pup?" Suni asked, the surprise clear in her voice.

"Well we kind of had to," Janja said, with annoyance. "I mean someone has to take over being Alpha hyena and it sure wasn't gonna be you."

"Can I meet her?" Suni said, looking at Karaha deciding to ignore Janja.

"Of course," Karaha said, with a smile. "In face here she comes now." Suni looked and to her surprise she saw the same pup that had lead her to the Outlands.

"Did I do good Daddy?" Shenja asked, looking at Janja.

"You sure did," Janja said, running his youngest daughter's head roughly.

"Wait she's my sister?" Suni asked, the surprise clear in her voice.

"Yeah she is," Karaha said. Then she looked at her youngest daughter and said, "Shenja this is Suni. She's your sister."

"Very nice to meet you," Shenja said, surprisingly polite. Suni said nothing but she did give her sister a small smile. Then she turned to Janja and Karaha.

"Don't think that just because I have a little sister that I'm going to stay or help you with whatever sick plan you have," Suni snapped, glaring at her parents.

"We just thought that maybe you'd want to be around your sister," Karaha declared. "You know get to know her and everything."

"Yeah I would like that," Suni admitted. "But..."

"Look Suni here's the deal," Janja interrupted sharply. "Its either you help us or somethin' terrible happens. And I don't mean to you."

"What do you mean?" Suni asked, giving her father a suspicious look.

"Chungu take Shenja in the cave," Janja ordered, not wanting his youngest daughter to hear the conversation that was about to take place. "Me and Karaha need some alone time with our oldest here."

"Sure thing boss," Chungu said. With that the larger hyena took Shenja and went inside the cave along with the rest of the clan. Once they were gone Janja turned back to Suni.

"Like I was sayin'," the Alpha Male said. "If you don't help us then I'll be forced to do somethin' terrible."

"Like you aren't already planning on doing something terrible," Suni scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Look," Janja growled, getting in Suni's face. "I'll just lay it out for ya. We want the Pride Lands for ourself. And that means gettin' rid of the competition."

"You mean Kovu and Kiara?" Suni asked, once again rolling her eyes. "News flash here Father you don't stand a chance against them. You already tried taking over the Pride Lands and it failed miserably."

"That's because you interfered!" Janja roared, raising his paw and striking Suni in her face. Suni was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Letting out another growl Janja once again hit his daughter. Only this time he knocked her out. "Good," he growled. "Karaha take her in the other cave and make sure she can't get out."

"Yes Janja," Karaha said. With that she grabbed Suni by her scruff and dragged her to the opposite cave where she and another hyena pushed a heavy boulder in front of it.

"Maybe she'll learn a lesson from this," Janja hissed. "Never to cross me. C'mon Karaha we've got plans to put into place."

"Which one first Janja?" Karaha asked as she followed her mate.

"We take down our biggest threats first," Janja declared. "And that's Kovu and Chaka."

"Janja don't you think it may be too much for us to take down two full grown males?" Karaha asked.

"Not if we have help," Janja snapped. "And I know just the ones to help. C'mon lets go." With that the two hyenas left to find their new allies.

Meanwhile back at Pride Rock Thamini, Kali, Nash, Vitani and Furaha had returned with Timon and Pumbaa's bodies with them. Once Thamini was inside playing with Malikia they were met by Jasiri, who gave Kali a nuzzle. Then she saw the bodies and her chocolate brown eyes went wide with horror. "Kings above!" she gasped, her eyes wide with horror. "What happened?"

"Thimin said he and Kuri saw hyenas do this," Kali declared, shaking his head sadly. "Where's Dad? He should know before he sees this."

"Know what?" a voice said. The group turned and saw Kiara standing there along with Kopa and Chaka. Then the Queen saw Timon and Pumbaa and she got her answer. "Oh this is terrible," Kiara whispered, as the tears flowed. "Daddy's going to be crushed."

"Yeah I know," Kopa choked out. "Timon and Pumbaa were like his adopted parents. This is gonna kill him." Then as if on cue Simba came walking up the side of Pride Rock along with Kion and Bunga.

"Hey what's with the long faces?" Simba asked, looking at the group.

"Yeah who died?" Bunga said with a smile. But his smile quickly vanished when he saw the sad looks on everyone's face. "Wait did someone die?" he asked, looking around at the group.

"Yeah buddy someone did die," Chaka said sadly as the tears came down his face.

"Who died?" Simba asked, his amber eyes wide.

"It was Timon and Pumbaa Dad," Kali said gently. "Some hyenas got them. I'm so sorry."

"Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa are dead?" Bunga asked, his eyes wide with horror.

"Oh Kings Above," Kion whispered, sitting down on the ground.

"Yeah they are," Vitani said sadly. "I'm so sorry guys."

"I can't believe this," Simba whispered, taking a step backwards. "This can't be happening."

"Dad I'm sorry," Kali said, giving Simba a nuzzle. "I know how much you loved them. I know how much you both loved them." Kali looked at Bunga when he said this last part.

"They were the best," Bunga declared, his voice breaking. The honey badger broke down and Kion pulled his friend close, comforting him the best he could.

"Those damned hyenas ruin everything!" Simba growled, wiping away the tear angrily. "They just take and take and don't even give a damn!"

"I know Daddy," Kiara said, giving her father a nuzzle.

"Then do something about it Kiara!" Simba shouted, causing Kiara to jump. "You and Kovu are King and Queen so do something about them!"

"Daddy I've tried," Kiara declared, trying not to shout. "And its not like I can kill all of them! No matter how much I want to. You above all should know that."

"I know honey," Simba said, his voice much more calm. "I'm sorry I yelled."

"Its ok Daddy," Kiara said, giving Simba another nuzzle. "I understand."

"Its so unfair," Simba said softly. "First I lose Nala and now I lose Timon and Pumbaa. I don't think I can take very much more."

"Dad we all know how much you miss Mom," Kopa declared, his voice breaking as he thought of his mother. "We all do."

"I know you do son," Simba said with a small smile. Then he looked over and saw Timon and Pumbaa's bodies. "Oh Kings Above," he whispered, closing his eyes tight. By now Simba's face had lost all color and he looked like he was about to pass out.

"Grandpa are you alright?" Furaha asked, going to her grandfather's side.

"I'm fine honey," Simba declared, looking at Furaha. "I just.." Suddenly Simba began to sway.

"Grandpa maybe you should sit down," Chaka said, concerned for his grandfather.

"Yeah," Simba whispered, shutting his eyes tight once again. "I think that's a good.." But before he could finish the sentence suddenly his eyes rolled back in his head and the golden lion fell to the ground.
