Chapter 10 Gaining a favour:

Pridelands:

*Mufasa and Ahadi were walking through the pridelands everything was calm again after the wolves had launched a medium size assault on the pridelands. The wolves hadn't gone after the pride, but they sure as hell caused a lot of chaos starting stampedes and attacking the prideland animals. On some places a death carcass was still laying on the ground.*

"You see my son why you should never trust the wolves we became a little bit too sure of ourselves and this is how we got punished good lives went lost on a terrible way," Ahadi sighted sadly as he sat down.

"Don't be too hard on yourself dad it were the wolves who killed them not you," Mufasa tried to comfort his dad.

"I know, but still I failed tem as monarch i failed at keeping them safe from this kind of unnatural way of dying it wasn't their time," Ahadi said.

"You did the best you could that's all you can do," Mufasa replied.

Ahadi looked up and said. "I guess you are right son come on then we continue our walk." before standing up again and continuing his walk unbeknown to both lions they were being watched by a black wolf from out of the grass.

"Enjoy your time king while it lasts because I promise you one day I will have my revenge," Argon said before a maniacal grin formed on his face and he backed off deeper in the grass.

Meanwhile Taka and the others were discussing the ambush. "The gorge huh sounds great only problem is how are we going to get him in the gorge," Taka asked.

The others looked around hoping that someone else had an idea after a little while Neon slowly rose his paw and said. "Uhm perhaps we don't need him to be in the gorge around it can be sufficient if we hunt him in the gorge."

"That isn't a bad idea if he is around the gorge that would be enough if we could hunt him in the gorge, but we need more than two wolves to do that," Xenon said.

"Three could do, but they need to be fast with that annoying bird flying around it is only a matter of time before she warned Ahadi of what is happening in the gorge," Krypton agreed.

"Yes, so Radon and Xenon are coming with us seeing they are the slowest of you guys," Shenzi asked.

"Yes, we will start some stampedes give those lions something to worry about besides their precious little heir," Radon said earning some laughter of the hyenas, wolves and Taka.

"Okay now we have it planned out let's do this tomorrow the quicker it's done the quicker you guys can take a low profile again," Taka said.

"Sounds good see you tomorrow mate," Banzai sad before the hyenas and wolves ran off each to their own territory.

Pride rock:

* Taka was walking a bit around pride rock not really in the mood to do something when suddenly he saw Jua laying there all alone. He realised he hadn't talked to her that much after dealing with the rouges and decided a conversation would be good. He went over to Jua and laid down next to her.*

"Taka," Jua asked while looking at him.

"Jua good to speak to you again. I am sorry for not speaking to you sooner," Taka said embarrassed that he forgot talking to one of his best friends.

"It's no problem I wasn't really talkative myself either so what did you want to talk about," Jua asked curiously.

"Oh I wanted to know how you are holding up after the disappearance of those rouges," Taka said.

"Great I am happy those guys disappeared and I pray in never need to see them again," Jua replied.

'Request granted,' Taka thought. "Yes, I am personally also quite happy those guys disappeared they were quiet annoying if i may say so," Taka said.

"Tell me about it," Jua replied.

"Anyway I hear you are doing quite well so any other plans in the near future," Taka asked.

"Not that I know of in any case. You," Jua asked.

"Just trying to get Ahadi into allowing me to mary Sarafina," Taka answered.

"Good luck with that your dad is a real hard head when it comes down to that kind of stuff, but I wish you best of luck you two fit with each other," Jua replied.

"Thank you I am going to check a few things nw have a nice day and see ya around," Taka said before taking off.

"Yes till next time," Jua said before laying herself back down.

Next day pridelands:

*Mufasa was walking towards the gorge there were rapports of some kind of cool thing there, but he didn't knew what so he went out to check it out as the curious lion he was unbeknown to him he was being watched from a rock a while further by five wolves and three hyenas.

"It's show time," Krypton said emotionlessly the others nodded in response before taking off in the high grass each to their own place.

*Mufasa had reached the place where you could go into the gorge not that he was going into it his father and mother had warned him more than enough about how dangerous the gorge was. He looked around searching for something cool, but all he saw was rock and sand. He turned back around and started walking away.*

"I wonder which idiot said that something cool was in that gorge," Mufasa asked himself.

"That i do not know," A voice suddenly said.

"Who was that show yourself," Mufasa said now searching the area for a possible enemy then he saw three black figures coming out of the long grass one with red eyes in the middle on the right of Mufasa one with green eyes and left of Mufasa one with orange eyes.

The ones with the orange and green eyes he didn't knew, but that wolf with the red eyes looked familiar to Mufasa and then he remembered again. "You are that wolf that attacked me when I was a cub," Mufasa growled while taking in a fighting stance.

"So you do remember after all very well then you die with at last a bit of knowledge of who your kind wronged," Krypton snarled. Mufasa took off immediately after he said that seeing that reasoning with the wolf was clearly hopeless. The wolves let out a few howls before going after Mufasa the gorge in.

*Mufasa ran as hard as he could not knowing where he went, but he didn't care all he cared about was staying before those wolves. He looked around and saw the three wolves with a mad look in their eyes chasing him. Mufasa ran a while when his eyes fell on some rocks that could be used to work your way up in the gorge.

He quickly jumped on the rocks closely followed by the wolves both were now running on the ledge to reach higher ground however when Mufasa was nearly up he looked around just in time to see Argon pouncing against him causing the two of them to fall down again against rocks until eventually both were back a bit damaged, but further okay laying back on the bottom of the gorge.

Mufasa looked at Argon who was getting back by conscious then he looked at Krypton and Neon and saw the two already on their way down the edge to him. Mufasa quickly started running again.

Mufasa saw they were gaining terrain on him when suddenly he noticed that some rocks were moving. He looked at the entrance of the gorge they had come in and saw a stampede of wildebeest coming their way. His eyes widened at the sight and he started running even faster...

His brothers hadn't noticed the look Mufasa had when he looked around the last time. It was one of pure horror. Krypton quickly looked around to see the wildebeest quickly coming their way.

"Blasted Stampede!" Krypton yelled.

His brothers looked around and saw the stampede they hurried themselves to some higher ground. Mufasa also crawled upon some rocks in time before the wildebeest arrived. He tried to climb upon another rock, but accidentally slipped causing him to hang with his body above the stampede with only his claws holding on to the rocks.

He could feel himself slipping and right before he would fall two paw took a fir grip on hs own and when he looked up he saw his brother Taka holding his paws.*

"Come on brother you need to get up here," Taka said.

Mufasa slowly hose himself up again and looked down to the stampede. "Damn, thank you Taka if it wouldn't have been for you I would have been a goner," Mufasa said while trying to regain his breath.

"It's nothing brother I am glad you are alright," Taka said as they watched the stampede. When it was over Mufasa looked at the ledge the wolves were sitting upon and saw them looking at him and Taka.

The one with green and orange eyes jumped into the dust cloud that had formed because of the stampede and after a last deadly glare the one with the red eyes also jumped in the cloud disappearing in it. A powerful roar was heard and Mufasa and Taka saw their father and mother quickly coming towards hem from above.

"Son are you alright," Ahadi asked Mufasa worriedly as Uru went over to nuzzle her son.

"Thanks to Taka I am if it wouldn't have been for him I would have fallen into the stampede," Mufasa said while looking at his brother. "Thank you for that," Mufasa said. Taka merely nodded his head in response.

"Uhm well good job Taka it was hard to say for Ahadi and he was forcing himself to smile at his youngest son.

'Yes, you old fool if you think that is hard wait for the next part,' Taka thought amused. "Thank you father I am glad I was able to save my brother from that terrible fate, but I have a request," Taka replied.

"A request huh what kind of request," Ahadi asked cautiously.

"I ask you to grant me a royal favour which I want to use to marry Sarafina with," Taka said. When Taka had said this Ahadi's face turned into a frown and got an annoyed expression.

"You ask me to give you a favour for saving your own brother," Ahadi asked trying to sound calm.

"No for saving the heir of the pride," Taka replied having trouble to contain his face from showing any of the inward happiness he had at annoying his father.

'Oh my friends if you could only see his face,' Taka thought in himself knowing that the brothers would love to see his father as annoyed as now.

Ahadi had trouble containing his anger at this request, but it was request that he couldn't deny for now in any time.

"Very well then you get your favour now let's get back to pride rock you two will probably be tired now," Ahadi said before turning around and walking towards pride rock again.

His mother and brother just gave him a look that said. "Oh nice plan good job!" Taka slowly followed together with the rest of the pride.

Wolf lands:

"Oh man my head is killing me," Argon whined.

"Perhaps next time don't roll down an edge," Neon said teasingly.

"Yeah, well I didn't see you doing anything to stop him," Argon replied a little annoyed at his brother remark.

"Now can you two tell me why there was a stampede in the gorge to start with," Krypton asked his two older brothers.

"The wildebeest just went for the gorge nothing we did stopped them," Xenon replied nervously.

"Yeah, those stupid idiots didn't do anything we asked," Radon said nervously.

"It doesn't matter what matters is if Taka got his favour," Krypton.

"Won't he be hanging around less with us if he has a mate of his own," Neon asked.

"I don't think so. I have a feeling he won't betray us," Krypton said.

Pridelands evening:

Taka quickly made his way over to the meeting place where he would meet Krypton for the last time in a while to make sure of some details. He saw the red eye coloured wolf sitting in front of a rock.

"Good day Taka and you got it," Krypton asked.

"Yep, dad couldn't do a lot seeing i saved the heir," Taka said while grinning.

"Good remember if you need us we are across the border," Krypton said.

"Good, but for the time being keep a low profile," Taka said.

"We will I will also pass that message to our hyena buddies," Krypton said before taking off and disappearing into the high grass.

Taka also turned around and ran back to pride rock, but unbeknown to them they were being watched by a lioness. "Taka and wolves? No that can't be it, but i saw it with my own eyes," Jua thought in herself.

"She would need to report this, but she couldn't just betray her friend like that after all he'd done for her could she? She would go to sleep and sleep a night over it "perhaps tomorrow morning I can come to an answer on what I need to do," Jua said to before also leaving to pride rock again.
