Lion King 10: The True Heir Returns
After running all morning Simba, Nala, Fahari and Shupuva entered the Pride Lands as dark clouds begun to cover the sky. Fahari, Shupuva and Simba all looked on in shock as the once lust green lively land had turned grey, barren and dead.
Pushing the condition of the Pride Land to the back of his mind, Simba: We'll split up here. Nala lead Fahari and Shupuva to the pride and get them ready to fight. I'll find Scar.
Brushing against Simba, Nala: Be careful Simba and don't do anything reckless until the pride gets to Pride Rock.
Simba shot Nala a quick mischievous grin before taking off for Pride Rock.
Watching Simba run off, Fahari: Don't worry Nala, Simba will be fine. We trained him well.
Shupuva: Fahari's right Nala besides we have a job to do ourselves. Let's get going.
Refocusing on the task at hand Nala led Fahari and Shupuva to where the pride was located. After sprinting through the Pride Land, Nala noticed there weren't any hyenas around just as she heard a lot of commotion coming from the pride. Sneaking closer Nala, Fahari and Shupuva found the pride being harassed by a group of 50 hyenas. Tired of the hyena's constant insults and threats Suamu and Shwari gave into their rage and started a fight with the hyenas. Unable to let the 2 fight alone the rest of the pride joined the battle. Out gunned by the lion's strength, power, and aggression the hyenas tried to flee but ran straight into Nala, Fahari and Shupuva. After wiping out the group of hyenas the pride turned their attention to the 3. Overjoyed about Nala's return Tama, Askari, Shwari and Suamu swarmed Nala as the rest of the pride welcomed the return of Fahari and Shupuva. Overwhelmed by their emotions Sarafina and Kama ran straight for Fahari and Shupuva nuzzling their mates passionately.
Confused at his mother's display of affection for an unknown lion, Shwari: Nala who are those 2?
Looking at Shwari and the other sub adults, Kama: This is Shupuva. Shwari, Tama he's your father.
Sarafina: And this is Fahari, Nala's father. Nuzzling Nala and very proud, Nala I'm glad you're safe. How in the world did you find them?
Nala: After Scar banished me I came across a lust jungle and …..
Cutting Nala off and leering at Shupuva, Kama: That's right! What happened to returning after 2 or 3 months? What have you 2 been doing this whole time?
Backing down, Shupuva: Calm down Kama. We planned on coming home after 3 months but around the time were going to return we found Simba and learned what happened to Mufasa.
Shocked, Sarafina: Wait Simba's alive!?
Nala: Yeah, he's been in the jungle with Shupuva and Fahari this whole time. They've been training him to defeat Scar.
Kama: If he has been alive this whole time then why hasn't he returned? Sarabi was devastated when she thought he died.
Fahari: Scar is to blame for that. Scar led Simba into the gorge and with the help of the hyenas started that stampede in order to kill Mufasa and Simba. Mufasa was able to save Simba and managed to escape the stampede but while climbing out of the gorge Scar threw him to his death. Scar convinced Simba that Mufasa's death was his fault and exiled him. With the guilt of causing Mufasa's death Simba felt like he had no right to ever return to the Pride Lands or face any of you especially Sarabi.
Looking around, Shupuva: Speaking of Sarabi, where is she?
Sarafina: Scar summoned her to Pride Rock. He's upset we stopped hunting and Zira had to take a group of hyenas out to try and find something. Where's Simba?
At the same time, Simba made his was closer to Pride Rock. Sneaking around to the back of Pride Rock Simba found 2 hyenas sitting near the secret pass. Needing to get rid of the hyenas quietly Simba used his tail to make the tall grass move as if a small creature was running through it. Noticing the movement, one of the hyenas jumped at the opportunity of food and rushed into the grass. After the grass stopped moving and with his comrade never returning the other hyena grew suspicious. Thinking something was up the second hyena walked into the grass slowly and discovered his comrade dead. As the hyena turned to alert someone Simba quickly slashed his throat causing him to bleed to death. With the hyenas dead Simba quickly made his way through the path leading into Pride Rock. As Simba snuck closer to the entrance of Pride Rock he heard Scar screaming for Sarabi and spotted his mother walking regally through a massive crowd of hyenas snapping and snarling at her.
Standing in front of Scar, Sarabi: What is it Scar?
Furiously pacing back and forth, Scar: Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job. Zira shouldn't be out hunting with a group of hyenas.
Monotone, Sarabi: There is no food. All of the herds have moved on.
Scar: No you just haven't been looking hard enough so let me give you a suggestion. Look harder!
Raising her voice, Sarabi: Thanks to you and those hyenas there's nothing left. We only have one choice if we want to survive. We must leave the Pride Lands.
Snapping, Scar: No, we aren't going anywhere.
Sarabi: That your sentencing us to death.
Scar: So be it.
Growling, Sarabi: You can't do that!
Smugly, Scar: I am the king! I can do whatever I want and you will obey.
Sarabi: If you were only a fraction of the king Mufasa was….
Violently turning around, slashing Sarabi across the shoulder and sending her crashing to the ground, Scar: I am 10 times the king Mufasa was.
Watching his mother hit the ground, Simba's rage exploded as he released a spine chilling roar that echoed throughout the Pride Lands.
While listening to Simba's plan, the whole pride stood shocked as Simba's roar echoed throughout the Pride Lands. Immediately realizing something was wrong and concerned for Simba, Nala took for Pride Rock with Suamu right behind her.
Shocked, Sarafina: Was that really Simba?
Fahari: Yes and we need to get to Pride Rock as soon as possible. Simba won't be able to bring down Scar as long as he as his army of hyenas with him. We need to handle those flee bags and chase them out of the Pride Lands.
With all the sub adults chasing after Nala and Suamu, the pride stood ready pride to go to war and raced off to Pride Rock.
While running, Fahari: Ciri go get Rafiki. We're going to need him when this battle is over.
Running down the path, Simba shot straight to his mother as Scar stared in disbelief.
Nudging Sarabi's motionless body, Simba: Come on mom, get up.
Slowly opening her eyes, Sarabi: Mufasa?
Shaking his head, Simba: No mom, it's me.
Looking closer as a grin grew across her face, Sarabi: Simba, you're alive? But how can this be?
Nuzzling against his mothers face, Simba: I'll explain everything to you later mom but first I need to take care of him.
Shocked, Scar: Simba? Leering at Shenzi Banzai and Ed, Simba I'm surprised to see you, alive.
Slowly stalking towards Scar, Simba: Look at what you done to the Pride Lands and how dare you lay a paw on my mother.
Cowering next to a boulder, Scar: Simba wait, you don't know the pressures of ruling a kingdom.
Standing over Scar, Simba: You don't need to worry about them anymore. There no longer your responsibly. You were never meant to be king.
Standing up to Simba angered, Scar: How dare you! I am the king and you will respect me.
Standing his ground, Simba: You were never the true king Scar. You're no better than those flee bags you let run wild in the Pride Lands. I came here to reclaim my birthright so you have 2 options. Leave and never return or fight.
Noticing Sarabi struggling to her get up and with a vile smirk, Scar: Must this all end in violence? I would hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. I'm sure you remember what that feels like Simba?
Confused, Sarabi: What are you talking about Scar?
Snickering, Scar: Simba why don't we tell your mother our little secret. Let's tell her who is responsible for Mufasa death.
Sarabi stared at both Simba and Scar afraid of the answer Scar was hinting to.
Unsheathing his claws and in a low growl, Simba: You were.
Feeling triumphant, Scar: Exactly and if it wasn't for….. What did you just say?
Digging his claws into the ground, Simba: You started that stampede, you murdered my father, and you tried to kill me. Everything that has happened is all because of you.
With hatred filling her eyes, Sarabi: Scar how could you?
With an evil grin as the hyenas approached, Scar: So you figured it out. I knew I should've personally made sure you died. Looking at Sarabi, My brother was a fool who didn't deserve to be king and I'll be damned if I let his little fur ball become king before me. I should've been king. Chuckling, You should've seen the look on Mufasa's face when I threw him to his death.
Unable to control his rage any longer Simba leapt at Scar tackling his to the ground and started attacking him. As Simba pressed his claws against Scar's throat a massive swarm of hyenas knocked Simba off Scar and surrounded him. Sarabi tried to rush to Simba's aid but was quickly pinned down by Scar.
Forcing Sarabi to look at Simba, Scar: Now you'll get to watch your son die. Roaring, Kill him!
Although Simba was fighting valiantly the sheer volume of claws and teeth were too much for Simba to handle as he started bleeding all over his body. Forced to the ground by the overwhelming mass of hyenas Simba watched as his mother screamed until Nala and Suamu leapt into the fray and knocked the hyenas off of him. With Nala and Suamu's sudden appearance Scar's grip on Sarabi weakened giving her the chance to kick him off her and join the battle.
Helping Simba stand and licking the blood off his face, Nala: What happened to not doing anything reckless until we got here?
Grinning, Simba: What can I say, you were taking too long and you know I never been patient.
Just as the hyenas were about to launch another attack the rest of the pride finally made it to Pride Rock ready to fight.
Standing proud amongst his pride, Simba: I'm only going to say this once. Get out of our Pride Lands!
Growling, Scar: Kill them! Kill them all!
Following Scar's orders the hyenas attacked but with the whole pride, Fahari, Shupuva and Simba fighting the hyenas were dropping like flies and many began to run for their lives.
In the midst of the chaos, Simba: Where's Scar?
Throwing a hyena off Pride Rock, Shupuva: He's on the path leading to the top of Pride Rock. Simba go and finish this.
As rain begun to pour, Simba chased after Scar but ran into 15 hyenas blocking his path. As 3 hyenas lunged at Simba, Suamu blew right by him and into the 3 hyenas.
Dropping the 3 hyenas, Suamu: Go Simba! I'll handle them you just worry about Scar.
Knocking one hyena off the path, Simba continued after Scar. Reaching the top of Pride Rock and with nowhere to run Scar panicked as he saw Simba appearing from the path.
Growling, Simba: Murder.
Trembling, Scar: Simba wait let me explain!
Simba: You don't deserve to live.
Cowering under Simba, Scar: Simba please don't! You have won. The Pride Land is your and you'll never see me again so please don't kill me.
Simba: You're pathetic Scar. Hurry up and get out of my sight and if I ever see you in the Pride Lands again, I will kill you.
Slowly walking past Simba, Scar: As you wish, grabbing a clump of mud and throwing it at Simba, your majesty.
Blinded by the mud Simba desperately rubbed face trying to clear his vision but was immediately tackled by Scar. Slamming Simba on his back Scar tried biting down on Simba's neck but couldn't get through Simba's mane. Finally able to see Simba threw Scar off of his self and slashed Scar across the face cutting deep into his right eye. Completely enraged Scar lunged back at Simba and the 2 began trading blows cutting deeper and deeper into each other. Leaping onto Simba's back, Scar bit down on Simba's neck causing him to roar out in pain. Throwing Scar off his back, Simba stumbled as his injuries from Scar and the hyenas were finally setting in but Simba pushed all that pain aside. Blinded by rage, Scar leapt at Simba again only to be met by another slash to his face cutting into his only remaining eye. Simba watched as Scar roared out in agony and swung wildly at the air. Ready to end this conflict, Simba grabbed Scar by the back of the neck and bit down as hard as he could, breaking Scar's neck. Having finally ended Scar's life Simba drug Scar's lifeless body to the edge of Pride Rock and threw him to the ground below. With a loud thump every hyena turned to find Scar's lifeless body on the ground. With their leader dead and their numbers dropping with each passing second the remaining hyenas bolted off Pride Rock and out of the Pride Lands. As he watched the hyenas running for their lives, Simba released a thunderous roar followed by the pride roaring in victory. With his adrenaline gone, Simba collapsed from his injures as he tried to walk back down the path.
Finding Simba collapsed on the ground, Nala: Simba are you ok?
Breathing heavily, Simba: I'll be fine, how's the pride?
Helping Simba down the path, Nala: Just some minor injuries but overall everyone is fine Simba.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Simba: That's great. Smiling, We did Nala. The Pride Lands are free of Scar and his flee bags.
