Chapter 4: Execution Day

Simba and Zazu didn't get to Rafiki's tree until the next morning.

"Well, we have arrived." Zazu said. "Let's hurry and get Rafiki, we haven't any time to lose."

"Rafiki?" Simba said looking up in the tree. There was no response. "Hello?"

"Hello there, young prince!" a voice yelled from behind him. Simba and Zazu got startled and fell backwards as they turned around and saw Rafiki standing there.

"What was that!" Simba exclaimed.

"Just a friendly hello." Rafiki said. "I've been expecting you."

"You have?" Simba asked him.

"Yes, de Great Kings of the Past told me you would be coming." Rafiki said. "I take it dat you're here for help?"

"Yeah, there's this cub and-" Simba began, but was interuppted by Rafiki.

"Yes, I know." Rafiki said. "Dat powerful cub that has taken over the Pridelands, he must be stopped."

Simba was amazed that Rafiki already knew everything, but not too surprised, after all he is Rafiki. "But how do I stop him?" Simba asked. "He has psychic powers and is way stronger than I am."

"Heheheh... Young prince, nobody is invincible." Rafiki said to him. "Come with me." Rafiki jumped up into his tree, while Simba found some branches to climb up.

When Simba got up into the tree, he saw Rafiki in a area that was like a small room. He saw what looked like a painting of himself on the wall.

"Come, Simba." Rafiki said as he motioned for him to come to him.

Simba went in and sat down in front of Rafiki, who was mixing something in the old shell of a fruit. "What are you doing?" Simba asked him.

Rafiki didn't answer, he just kept mixing what looked like different kinds of plants and berries.

"Um... Rafiki?"

Rafiki suddenly turned around and held out the mixture in front of Simba. "Drink dis." Rafiki told him.

Simba grabbed the mixture with a paw and sniffed it. "What is it?" he asked the monkey.

"Just drink it. It will help you." Rafiki replied.

Simba took a small sip and immediately spit it out. "That tastes terrible!" he exclaimed.

"Simba, if you want to save the Pridelands, you must drink it." Rafiki told him.

Simba looked down at the drink and stuck out his tounge. "Well, here it goes..." he said before quickly drinking all of it in one gulp. He shuttered at the taste. "Eww..."

"Good. Now, get back to the Pridelands." Rafiki said. "That will wear off in twenty-four hours."

"What does it do?" Simba asked him.

Rafiki laughed. "Heheh... You'll see. Now, go. You must save the Pridelands."

Simba climbed back down the tree and met up with Zazu. "Let's go." he said to the hornbill.

"I heard everything." Zazu said. "Just how crazy is he?"

"I don't know, but I hope this works." Simba said as he ran back in the direction of Pride Rock.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Zazu shouted as he took flight.

Simba knew he had to get back fast, before someone truly got hurt.


At Pride Rock, Sora was going to enjoy the day. He was finally going to get rid of his stupid brother and sister. He walked over to them, they were still sleeping.

"Wake up!" Sora yelled at them.

Tora and Kora slowly opened there eyes and stood up. "What?" Tora asked, sounding annoyed.

"I just thought I'd wake you up. You know to enjoy your last day alive..." Sora told her, smiling evilly. "You die at sundown, I think Kora will be first."

Tora had had enough. ""IF YOU EVEN TOUCH HIM, I WILL KILL YOU!" Tora sceamed as loud as she could. "YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A WORTHLESS-" Tora stopped when Sora hit her across the face with a paw, causing blood to seep out of her cheek. Kora ran over to her to see if she was okay.

"You will not speak to the King that way!" Sora shouted. "Now, you will be executed at midday!"

When Mheetu saw him hit Tora, he snapped. He ran at Sora to attack, but Sora saw him coming and grabbed him by the throat. "You're going against me?" Sora asked. "You will die with them!" He threw Mheetu to the ground. Sora stormed out of the den.

"What are we going to do?" Mheetu asked.

Tora was rubbing the cuts on her cheek. "We have to wait for Simba, he's the only one that can help us." she answered.


Simba and Zazu were approaching Pride Rock. Simba ran the whole way so he was able to get back much quicker. Simba looked up at the sky, he could tell it was almost midday.

"Zazu, go tell everyone that this will be over soon." Simba said. "Oh, and see if any of them will go find my dad."

"Right away." Zazu said before leaving Simba.

Simba looked up at Pride Rock and saw Sora with Mheetu, Tora, and Kora. "Oh, no..." Simba said as he ran as fast as he could towards Pride Rock.


Sora was glaring evilly at the three cubs in front of him, Nala was by his side, she no longer cared for anyone, but Sora. "Well, it's midday." Sora said. "I think I'll kill all three of you at once."

The rest of the pride looked up from below Pride Rock.

"We have to go up there!" Sarafina exclaimed. "We have to stop him! Zazu said Simba was here, but I don't see him!"

"There he is!" Sarabi said, pointing at a small figure walking towards Sora.

Sora used his powers to lift Mheetu, Tora, and Kora off the ground. The three cubs began to feel like they were being crushed.

"Say, goodbye!" Sora yelled.

"Goodbye." Sora heard a voice say. He dropped his siblings and Mheetu to the ground. He turned around and saw Simba.

"Glad, you decided to show up for your execution." Sora said as his eyes began glowing again. When Sora went to kill Simba, what happened stunned him. It even surprised Simba.

"How...?" Sora said in disbelief.


A/N: A little cliffhanger there. What happened? Just what was that drink Rafiki gave Simba? For those of you still wondering about Mufasa, you'll find out about him, don't worry. I know Rafiki's part was short, but, he will be back. Well, tomarrow's the next chapter, probably the last one, but there could be another, I'm not sure yet. Remember to Review! Thanks!
