CHAPTER 7

KING SIMBA MEETS RICK SKULLZ

Morning came and Rick woke up and saw Shenzi Banzai and Ed still asleep so Rick got up and walked quietly out of the skull without waking the hyenas after exiting the elephant skull Rick walked towards he's harley-davidson and opened his saddle bag and serched for clean clothes the frist thing he pulled out was a pair of blue jeans the next was a pair of black leather biker boots and the other things he pulled out were a black bandana and a black Motley Cure t-shrit with the album Girls Girls Girls on it Rick said to himself now this is a nice shrit after that he put on he's threads and decided to take a walk through the pridelands so he went back to his saddle bag and grabed he's katana sword and some smokebombs and headed toward the pridelands.

Rick walk through the pridelands for atleast 1 hour in that hour he saw wildebeests grazing on the grass gazelles jumping through the fields and leopards sleeping in the trees.

After a few more mins of walking he stopped and look to the distance and saw a huge rock ahead and said to himself wow that is some rock but before i head over there i'm going to do some training and meditation after that statement he practice tai chi ninjutsu kung fu and aikido after 2 hours of training he sat down crossed he's legs and started meditating.

After 1 hour of meditating he got back to his feet and headed toward the huge rock after 30 mins he was 100 yards from the rock and he stopped and and look up and down and said well i be damned that is the biggest rock i have seen in a lifetime then he put he's hand to he's forehead and saw there were lions on and near the rock so he then thought he leave before those lions came toward him.

At priderock Simba was looking toward the horizan and checking on things but then something caught he's eye he saw a strange figure 100 yards away from priderock and thought he investigate so he climbed down and headed for the direction of the figure.

after 10 mins of running he was 50 yards form what he saw and then he stared to creep toward the strange creature and not taking he's eyes off the being.

Rick was heading back to the elephant graveyard after he's little walk thorugh the pridelands but then he stop to take a little rest he stretched cracked his neck and took a deep breath.

After that he decided to get back to walking but suddenly scenced something behind him so he said who ever is behind me you might as well show yourself because i know your there he turned around and griped his katana ready for battle.

Then a male lion with gold fur and a red mane appeared out of the grass and apporached Rick then Rick ask who are you the lion answered i'm king Simba ruler of the pridelands and who are you if i may ask human' my name is Rick Skullz he answered back then Simba ask so Rick Skullz are you the human that was helping the hyenas hunt yesterday.

Rick answered yes i am but i have 2 questions for you 1 do you have any intentions on harming me and 2 why does me helping the hyenas hunt concern you Simba answered no i have no intentions on harming you Rick but the reason for my concern on you helping the hyenas is that they have done things that were very bad.

Rick then said what bad things what that be Simba then said well for starters they tried to kill me and my mate Nala when were cubs when we went to elephant graveyard and another thing they were allied with my father's murderer my uncle Scar and brought the pridelands to a wasteland so thats why i'm concern with you helping the hyenas hunt.

Rick then answered well to answer your why your concern question i was helping them hunt because they were hungry and haven't eatin for days and said that you and your pride were driving them off everytime they would hunt so i offered to help them.

Simba then says well the reason we drive them off is because of what they done to my father and the land Rick then answers Simba i know what you mean but i don't think it's fair that you drive them off everytime they hunt for food like no one should die of starvation.

Simba then says yes i know but i don't see why i should let them in our lands

Rick then explains Simba i can see that you are a good king and i understand why you don't want to let the hyenas in the pridelands but i should tell you something when humans have a leader or ruler who treats his or her people unfairly the people suffer and when that happens people become angry and when that happens war breaks out and the people either overthrow or kill the unjust ruler but i can see Simba your no a unjust or corrupted king can you find it within yourself to atleast let hyenas into the pridelands so they may hunt for food.

Simba with astonishment said' Rick you say these things with great truth your right about that but if i may ask why you say these things.

Rick answers i say these things beacuse i am a man who stands and fights for honor truth justice liberty and freedom so Simba can you find it within yourself to atleast forgive the hyenas and let the past go.

Simba then said Rick Skullz your right i should let the past go but forgiving the hyenas will take some thought but i will let hyenas in the pridelands to hunt for food as long as they take it back to the graveyard.

Rick then answred thank you Simba and i understand that you should take some time to think about forgiving the hyenas but Simba to forgive will make you a better person like after all if Jesus Christ can forgive a murderer then you can forgive the hyenas.

Simba then said your Right Rick but i will take somtime to think this through and also Rick i should have you know that even us lions know the story of Jesus

Rick then answers i'm glad you do but i have to get back goodbye Simba it's been an honor talking to you and remember what we talked about Simba says i will and farewell.

After an hour Rick made it back to the elephant graveyard and he saw that Shenzi Banzai and Ed were looking for him they were searching the graveyard and calling his name Rick laughed a little and yelled out hey over here guys the hyenas look and see Rick at the edge of the graveyard.

Rick slide down and walked toward the hyenas Shenzi then says Rick where have you been and Banzai asks yeah we've looking everywhere for you Ed just laughs something Rick then answers i was taking a little walk in the pridelands i'm okay Shenzi then asks Rick did you run into any lions.

Rick answers now that you mention it i did run into Simba Shenzi while shocked says Rick he didn't try to hurt did he Rick says easy Shenzi calm down he had no intentions on harming me he only wanted to talk.

Banzai then asks what did he want talk about ese Rick answers well he was concern about me helping you guys hunt and stuff and he talked about you trying to kill him and his mate Nala when they were cubs and you guys and Scar ruleing the pridelands and stuff Shenzi then says yeah thats true we did do that stuff Banzai says no dought on that Shenzi and Ed goes uh huh.

Rick then asks do you guys regret ever doing that stuff Shenzi answers yes we do it was stupid of us to ever think of doing it Banzai answers yeah i dought doing that to Ed shakes he's head yes.

Rick then says hey guys we all make mistakes but i have some good news.

Banzai answers whats the news Rick answers back the news is that Simba said that you guys will be allowed in the pridelands to hunt for food as long as you take it back to the graveyard.

then Shenzi Banzai and Ed all cheered on that statement and Shenzi said thanks Rick and Banzai says yeah you really are a good friend and Ed Runs up to Rick and hugs him.

Rick then says easy Ed i know you guys are happy but it's only a start we'll see what happens Shenzi then says so you think he'll let us live in the pridelands.

Rick answers i don't know we'll cross that bridge another time Shenzi answers back your right thanks again Rick your welcome Shenzi Rick says.
