Bandai owns Digimon while Disney owns The Lion King
Chapter 10
Marcus runs away and Karuta become king
Once the stampede finally ran through the gorge and the smoke cleared Marcus got down off of the small cliff and ran over to his father's body. "Dad, Dad, come on, you gotta get up. Dad, we gotta go home." said Marcus sadly as he tugged on his dad's ear until he let go.
"Help!" yelled Marcus as he tried to look around the gorge for help. "Somebody! Anybody!." yelled Marcus hoping that someone had heard him. "Help." cried Marcus heartbrokenly and then returned to his father's side where he began to cry until Karuta walked out from the fog and over to them to see if they were dead and was shocked to see his nephew still alive.
"Marcus?" Karuta asked as he saw Marcus turn to face him from underneith Spencer's paw. "What have you done?" Karuta asked Marcus pretending to be in shock. "The wildebeast.. and he tried to save me. It was an accident. I didn't mean for it to happen." cried Marcus as he crawled out from underneith his dad's paw. "Of course you didn't. No one ever means for these things to happen." said Karuta in fake concern as he wrapped a paw around Marcus and pulled the young cub over to him. "But the king is dead and if it weren't for you he would still be alive." said Karuta as he began to trick Marcus who was crying. "Oh, what would your mother think?" Karuta gasped in mock concern. "What am I going to do?" sniffled Marcus worringly. "Run! Run away Marcus and never return." said Karuta causing Marcus's eyes to widen as he ran from the gorge and away from the only home he ever knew.
As soon as Marcus was out of eye sight Nanami, Kouki and Ivan walked out of the dust and over to smirking Karuta. "Kill him." ordered Karuta causing the hyenas to run after the young prince who soon found himself in front of a mountain of rocks with the hyenas right behind him. Having no choice Marcus climbed up the rocks hoping to escape the evil hyenas.
Finally Marcus reached the top of the cliff but when he looked down he saw jagged rocks and a cactus patch. Knowing he couldn't turn the other way Marcus jumped down the cliff and began to roll down it with the hyenas right behind him straight into a thorn bush where Marcus climbed through the thorns trying his best to escape the evil hyenas. But as soon as Kouki saw the thorns he quickly stopped on a small cliff causing Nanami to stop behind him and Ivan to stop behind Nanami causing poor Kouki to fall into the patch. "OWWW!" yelled Kouki as he jumped up out of the patch in pain while Nanami and Ivan laughed at him. "AH! OO! E!" yelled Kouki in pain as he climbed back onto the cliff next to his laughing friends. "Say, there he goes. There he goes." said Nanami as she watched Marcus run out into the desert. "So go get him." said Kouki as he began to pulled the thorns off of him. "There ain't no way I am going in there. What you want me to come out looking like you, Cactus Butt?" said Nanami as she turned to look at her friends. "But we have to finish the job." agued Kouki as he spat some thorns at Ivan. "Well he's as good as dead out there anyway." said Nanami as she turned back towards the fleeing cub. "And if he comes back we'll kill him." said Nanami causing Kouki who had walked over to her to grin. "YEAH! YOU HEAR THAT IF YOU EVER COME BACK WE'LL KILL YA!" yelled Kouki as he looked out over the cliff.
Meanwhile Karuta had returned to Pride Rock and gathered all of the lionesses including Tony and Thomas. "Spencer's death is a terrible tragedy but to lose Marcus who had barely begun to live." said Karuta as lionesses, Tony, Thomas and Sampson mourned the loss of their king and prince. "For me it is a deep personal loss. So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet out of the ashes of this tragedy we shall rise to great the dawning of a new era." said Karuta as the lionesses, Tony, Thomas and Sampson began to gasp as they began to hear and see hyenas walk out from the shadows. "A new era in which lion and hyena come together in a great and glorious future." said Karuta as he climbed onto the top of Pride Rock as more and more hyenas walked onto the Pride Lands while Homer sadly shook his head as he saw the hyenas enter the Pride Lands from his perch ontop of a rock. Homer then got off of the rock and headed back to his tree where he mourned for the young cub and the king. Heartbroken Homer wiped his hand over the painting of young Marcus causing it to blur as the baboon cried for the loss.
