Ch 7 More Heat
Mufasa went in search of his brother. Kline and Duami decided to come along which didn't bother Mufasa at all. The golden Prince was used to them tagging along and he kind of liked it. Mufasa didn't have to look very far for his brother. In fact his brother found him. "Hey there Mufasa," Scar said with a smile. "Where'd you run off to?"
"Yeah why'd to leave without saying anything?" Sarafina asked, annoyed that Mufasa had ditched her.
"I'm sorry I left," Mufasa said looking down. "But I.."
"But he got sick and tired how hearin' you talk about yourself Kuza," Duami said with a grunt. "Or is it Scar now?"
"It's Scar," Scar said glaring at the three month old cub. "And what the heck is she talking about Muffy?"
"Well I uh I sorta got a little angry when you were talkin' to those other animals," Mufasa admitted.
"He means a little jealous," Ni said with a snicker.
"Shut up Ni," Mufasa growled causing Ni to laugh harder.
"Were you really jealous Mufasa?" Scar said with a laugh.
"Hey leave him alone!" Duami shouted getting in Scar's face.
"Oooh looks like your little girlfriend has to defend you," Scar said mockingly.
"Yeah," Sarabi chimed in. "A little baby three month old has to defend a nine month old cub! Pathetic!"
"Come on Sara' that's not nice," Sarafina said jumping to Mufasa's defense. "Say your sorry! Right now!"
"Or what?!" Sarabi said with a low growl.
"Or I'll make you that's what!" Sarafina hissed glaring at the tan cub.
"Hey come you two don't fight," Zira said. "Sarabi you really should say you're sorry to Mufasa."
"Hey he knows I was just kidding," Sarabi said. "Right Muffy?"
"Humph!" Mufasa said not looking at the other cub.
"Hey come on dude we were just playing," Ni said. "We're sorry. Ok?"
"Yeah don't be mad bro," Scar said putting his paw on his twin's shoulder.
"Like I'd ever be jealous of you anyways!" Mufasa shouted shaking Scar's paw off of his shoulder.
"Yeah you're not so great!" Kline chimed in, annoyed with the whole situation.
"Why is everyone so mad?!" Zira cried shocked that the two brothers were fighting
"I'm not mad Zi'," Scar said. Then the brown nine month old looked at his twin and said softly, "Come on Muffy please don't be mad. I really am sorry. Ok?"
"Yeah we didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Ni said, feeling bad that he had teased Mufasa. "Right Sara'?"
"Right," Sarabi said. "I'm sorry Mufasa. You too Duami. I'm sorry I called you a baby. That was really mean."
"Ah don't worry about it," Duami said waving her paw. "I'm used to it from this one right here." She pointed at Ni when she said this last part. Ni simply stuck his tounge out at his sister who rolled her blue eyes. Kline snickered as did Zira earing glares from Duami and Ni respectively. This only caused the brother and sister to burst out laughing. Soon the rest of the cubs, including Mufasa followed suit.
"Are ya still mad buddy?" Ni asked.
"No," Mufasa said, slightly annoyed with the question. Then he sighed and said in a much calmer voice, "I'm fine. Look can we just forget about the whole thing?"
"Fine by me," Ni said with a shrug.
"You sure you're ok?" Sarafina asked concerned for Mufasa.
"Yeah I'm sure 'Fina," Mufasa said with a smile. "Come on let's go do something fun."
"Yeah!" Kline cheered jumping up and down.
"Hey let's go swimming," Ni suggested. "I know Duami just learned how. Do you know how to swim Kline?"
"Yeah I know," Kline said proudly. "My Mom just taught me."
"Then lets go!" Mufasa cried. With that the cubs let out cheers and headed for the nearby river to cool off.
TLKTLKTLK
When the cubs reached the river they were surprised that no one else was there. This suited the group just fine because they prefered to be without adults around. So the cubs jumped in and began to have some fun. However they weren't alone for long. After about an hour they were joined by some not so welcomed guests. Three hyena pups came up to the river and began to drink out of it. However when they saw the lion cubs their eyes went wide with surprise.
"What are you hyenas doing in our lands?!" Scar growled getting out of the water along with Mufasa and the others. Scar and Mufasa took the front with the others flanking them. Kline and Duami stayed behind to afraid to step forward.
"Whoa there take it easy," the female hyena pup stammered nervously. "We uh don't mean to cause trouble. Me and my brothers were just tryin' to get a drink."
"Then get one in the Outlands," Scar growled baring his teeth at the trio.
"There ain't no water in the Outlands," one of the male pups said. "Or haven't you noticed that we're in the middle of a heat wave. Only the Pridelands have water dummy."
"How dare you speak to me like that you filth!" Scar roared his emerald eyes flashing with anger.
"Hey calm down there pal," the female said.
"Who ya callin' pal?" Scar hissed. "I am Prince Scar son of King Ahadi and Queen Uru and furture King and you will speak only when I tell you to! Got it?!"
"Hey we don't have to do nothin' you say!" the other male said. This cause Scar to become very angry and he pounced of the pup pinning him to the ground. Once on the ground Scar began to hit the stunded pup mostly in the head
"Ed!" the other two cried out. They tried to help their brother but Sarabi, Sarafina, Ni and Zira prevented them from doing so.
"Give it to him Scar!" Zira cried out.
"Yeah show that filth whose boss!" Ni chimed in. Only Mufasa stood back and watched his brother beat the hyena pup senseless. Scar was about to deliver a death blow when Mufasa shouted, "Scar no! Don't kill him!"
"Why shouldn't I?!" Scar hissed breathing heavily. "Hyenas are the scum of the universe and they deserve to die."
"But don't you think it's better to let him live?" Mufasa asked. "I mean he's really hurt and is probally going to die anyways. If you kill him then you'll be putting his out of his misery. Do you reall want to do that? Or do you want to let him suffer?"
"Good point," Scar said stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Ok fine I won't kill him." Then he turned towards the other two and said roughly, "You had better get out of here right now! You're lucky I don't tell my father. He wouldn't even thin twice about killing the lot of you! Now beat it! And never return!"
"Come on Shenzi," the other male said trying not to show his tears. "Let's get Ed home."
"Right behind you Banazi," Shenzi said. With that the two pups picked up their badly injured brother and carried him back to the Outlands.
TLKTLKTLK
A little while later Shenzi and Banazi returned to their him and gently placed Ed on the ground. Neo and Frita saw their children return and when they saw their youngest son their eyes went wide with horror. "Oh my poor baby!" Frita cried running over to Ed's side.
"What happened?!" Neo cried. "Lena! Grovence! We need help! Our son is badly injured!" With that two hyenas came running over one of them carrying a sack in his mouth.
"Don't worry we'll take care of him," Grovence said putting the bag on the ground.
"Yeah just leave it to us," Lena said. "He'll be just fine."
"Thank you Lena," Neo said with a small smile. "Come Frita let's talk to our children and find out what happened." With that the family walked and left Lena and Grovence to do their work. "Ok now tell us what happened," Neo said looking at his son and daughter.
"Those stupid lions happened that's what!" Shenzi cried out.
"Ahadi!" Neo growled his black eyes filled with rage.
'"Nah it wasn't him this time Pop," Banazi said. "It was his sons."
"Yeah namely that brown coated one," Shenzi said.
"Ah yes Prince Kuza," Frita said.
"He don't go by Kuza anymore Ma," Banazi said. "He goes by Scar but anyways we were just gettin' a drink when he attacked poor Ed. 'Bout beat him to death."
"Damn those lions," Neo snarled. "Damn them all the Hell!" Before he could say anymore Grovence approached the family along with Lena.
"How's my baby?" Frita asked her voice shaking. Neo sat beside his mate and gently nuzzled her to comfort her.
"We managed to stop to bleeding," Lena said. "He'll live but I'm afraid there will be some lasting affects. Mainly to his brain I'm afraid."
"What do you mean?" Neo said softly.
"There is a lot of swelling around his brian," Grovence said sadly. "We're afraid they'll be brain damage."
"Oh no!" Frita cried unable to stop the tears. "My poor baby!"
"Those lions are gonna pay dearly for this!" Neo declared. "Mark my words Ahadi and his family will suffer for harming my family!"
"We begin training!" Frita declared. "Lena Grovence gather the others! We a begin training at once!"
"Yes my lady," Lena said with a bow. With that she and her mate went to fetch the other hyenas.
"What's the plan Ma?" Shenzi asked.
"Those damn lions think they can do whatever the Hell they want to!" Firta hissed. "Well they're gonna be in for a surprise. We will train then when we are ready we will take over the Pridelands and show those lions whose in charge!" With that Frita and her family went to meet the other to discuss their upcoming plans of training.
