Sprx and Nova trotted slowly to the graveyard, but it wasn't an elephant graveyard….more like a…ship grave yard (Spaceship)…

"Elephant grave yard?" Nova asked.

"So I messed up on the name, at least it's still cool." Sprx retorted.

Nova and Sprx walk to a giant ship, and they sniff at it."

"Wonder if its crew's still in their?" Nova asked.

"One way to find out." Sprx said, and they headed to the ship.

Gibson flew in front of them, and screeched.

"You're not going to find out! Why did you come here? We're in real danger!" Gibson badgered on, and Sprx headed toward it. Hyenas jumped out on top of it.

"Well, well, well; what do we have here Mandarin? A couple of ship diggers?" The female asked.

"I don't know Valeena, what about you Sakko?" The one called Mandarin asked.

"I guess so." Sakko said.

The hyenas stalked toward them and snapped at them, making them run.

"And the games afoot!" Mandarin bellowed as they chased the cubs and Gibson.

The hyenas grabbed Gibson and attached him to a rocket. They light the fuse and laughed as he was sent skyward. They began to chase the cubs.

They chased the cubs to a dead end, and Sprx stood in front of Nova protecting her. Sprx attempted to roar, but ended up doing a rawr. The hyenas laughed, but a Roar filled their ears.

King Chiro leaped and pinned the three down, but they escaped and ran away. Gibson landed next to the cubs, and Chiro glared a t them.

"Let's go." He said sharply, and they followed.

After traveling a bit, Chiro stopped and ordered Gibson to escort Nova home.

"I hope you live." Nova said, walking behind Gibson.

"Sprx." Chiro called, and Sprx sulked over.

"Dad I-"

"You could have been killed!"

"I was just trying to be brave like you! You're never scared!" Sprx yelled, running away.

"Sprx!" Chiro yelled, picking him up.

"I was scared today, I thought I'd lose you. You need to learn to stay out of trouble, I won't always be there for you." Chiro said.

"But why?" Sprx asked.

"See those stars? Those are the great kings of the past, one day I'll join them…but I'll always be with you." Chiro said, and started to run toward home.


(A/N: This songs for you Blade100!)

"Catch me if you can!" He yelled, and Sprx ran after him.

SK was sitting on a rock and was lecturing the trio of hyenas.

"I practically hand them to you on a platter, and you let them go free." SK sighs and throws them a large steak.

"Well what did you want us to do? Kill Chiro?"

"Precisely!"

[SK:
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
[Valeena:
And where do we feature?
[SK:
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
[Spoken
[Mandarin: Yeah, Be prepared.
Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?
[SK: For the death of the king.
[Mandarin: Why? Is he sick?
[SK: No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too.
[Vallena: Great idea! Who needs a king?
[Valeena (and then Mandarin):
No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!
[SK: Idiots! There will be a king!
[Mandarin: Hey, but you said, uh...
[SK: I will be king! ...Stick with me, and
you'll never go hungry again!
[Valeena and Mandarin: Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
[All Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!
[Full song again
[Hyenas: In tight, crisp phrasing and diction
It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.
[SK: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
[All:
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared
