Lion King Beybladers

Chapter 10

The next morning, Boris was seen leaving Pride Rock with the Prince at his heels. No one thought this was weird, young Kai spent quite a bit of time with his Uncle.

(Sorry, I can't think of anything so lets just skip to when they are at the gorge)

It wasn't long before the two came toward Kohano Gorge. Kai had never liked it there. It was too hot and had no water. It wasn't exactly exiting either.

The two hadn't talked to one another since they left Pride Rock and Kai was anxious to know why his Uncle had requested he go with him, he had never done that before, Kai always asked him to come, not the other way around. Strange.

"Er…Uncle Boris…What are we doing here?" the young cub asked.

Boris smirked and looked down at him, "Your father asked me to bring you here, said he had a surprise for you"

"Really?" Kai asked, his face lighting up. This trip wasn't so pointless after all.

"Oh, yes. He also said it was very important…ah, here we are"

Boris had led the prince up to a large jagged rock that practically out of the ground.

Boris continued to grin, "You are to stay here, until your father comes for you with the surprise"

Kai jumped onto the rock, "Wow, it sounds cool. What is it?"

Boris chuckled, "If I told you that it wouldn't be a surprise would it?"

"If you tell me, I'll still act surprised" Kai retaliated.

Boris shook his head, "Such a naughty boy, for a young Prince"

"Please, Uncle Boris, Pleeaaase…"

"Oh, no no no, this is between you and your 'daddy'," Boris sneered the last word, "You know, a sort of father-son………thing. Well, I had better go get him…"

"Can I come," Kai asked getting ready to jump off the rock.

"No!" Boris yelled. Kai stared at his Uncle, curiously. He seemed to have answered a bit too snappy.

"No," he said again, softer this time, "You're father insisted you stay on this rock. It wouldn't be wise to disobey him again like you did with the Graveyard."

Kai turned red under his fur, "You know about that, huh?"

"Kai, everyone knows about that…"

Kai's head drooped in embarrassment, "I bet they think I'll be a worthless King now…"

"Maybe," Boris said. Inside he was enjoying the boy's down mood, "If you want to be a better King, first you have to work on that little roar of yours, hmm?" Boris had purposely emphasised the word 'little'.

Kai blushed even more, "Yeah, I guess so…"

The black lion smirked, "Well, I'll go get the King…"

He turned around to leave and started to walk off when Kai called after him.

"Uncle Boris, will I like this surprise?"

"Kai, it's to die for" Boris growled.

With that, he left the Prince alone in the Gorge.

Just a short distance away from the young cub's rock, and up the side of the Gorge stood a gigantic herd of wildebeest. They were all minding their own business, grazing and laying around, completely unaware of what was about to take place.

In a cave, behind the herd, three hyenas moaned and groaned at each other.

"Ohhhhhh, I'm sooooo hungry" Bryan wined, "Can a please just have one little wildebeest, please!"

"No!" Tala snapped, he was grumpy from hunger, "We have to wait for the signal…"

Beside him, Spencer's stomach growled. Spencer whimpered and placed his head in his paws.

Bryan had to bite his tail to stop himself from calling out in frustration, "Can't I at least have one of the little sick ones?"

"No! We have to stay put until we see the…" Tala stopped mid-sentence.

From the side of the Gorge, Boris had appeared and was staring at them, that was the signal.

"Okay, lets go" Tala growled at his companions.

Slowly the three made their way towards the herd of wildebeest………

Down in the Gorge, Kai was sulking to himself, thinking about what his Uncle had said to him.

"Little roar, bah" he said out loud, "I'll show him little roar…"

The cub got to his feet and held his head high. He looked around until he spotted a large beetle scurrying along below him.

He smirked and positioned himself in a pouncing stance.

"Grrrrowl!" he yelled at the bug. The bug made no move to fly away.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrroooowl!" He tried again. Still nothing.

Annoyed now, Kai jumped off the rock, directly behind the bug.

"GRRRRROOOOOWL!"

Kai grinned as the bug jumped and he heard his 'roar' echo off the sides of the Gorge.

But Kai's smugness didn't last long. Out of nowhere, Kai began to feel the Earth move under his paws. He looked down to see tiny rocks jumping up and down. What the h---?

Kai followed the strongest waves until his eyes landed on the steepest part of the Kohano Gorge.

His eyes widened at the sight before him. Running down the steep side was a herd a stampeding wildebeest!

Kai had no time to think, no time to wonder why they were stampeding. All he could do just then was turn tail and run like his life depended on it, which it did.

If he had not have run and had watched until the last of the wildebeest ran over the side, he would have seen three hyenas, grinning from ear to ear and obviously very proud of themselves.

But he hadn't seen them, he didn't even think about it. He just ran.

Behind him, the wildebeest were in panic and shock and were trampling everything in their path. It hadn't taken them long to reach the rock the Prince had been waiting on. Had he have still been there, he would have been squashed flat.

Kai was a fast runner for his age, but the wildebeest were larger and more powerful then he was. They were catching up and there was nothing he could do about it……

Then he saw what he needed. A rotted old tree poked out of the Gorges dry earth. It looked very unstable, but it didn't matter then. Nothing mattered just then.

With a high leap, the Prince jumped onto the tree, climbing up to the top of the branch to be as far away as he could from the uncontrollable animals below. As the beasts ran past, they shook the tree dangerously and all Kai could do was hold on for dear life……

Not too far away, a large regal lion stood on the peak of Pride Rock, his small servant bird at his feet. The bird turned from the lion and looked out at the plains. That's when he spotted something.

"Look, sire, the herd of wildebeest are on the move…"

The King turned to the Gorge, "That's odd, they don't usually move until later and they never go in the Gorge…"

"Dickinson!" The King was cut off by a frantic yelling.

The King watched as his brother ran up.

"Dickinson" Boris said breathlessly, "Stampede…in the Gorge…Kai's down there…"

The King's eyes opened as wide as possible, "Kai…"

Immediately, he was off the rock in one giant leap. Boris was right behind him while Daichi flew above.

It took them mere minutes to get to the side of the Gorge. Two of them searched frantically whole the third pretended.

It was Daichi that found him, "There! Down there on that tree!" he yelled.

The lion's followed the birds pointed wing until they spotted the young cub hanging on to a mouldy old tree, while the beasts ran just below him.

"I'm coming, Kai!" Dickinson yelled, before jumping down the side of the Gorge. Daichi flew off over to the cub, leaving the black lion behind.

Kai spotted Daichi as he came closer

"Daichi! Daichi help me!"

"Your father is coming, he'll be here soon!"

"Hurry!"

Daichi nodded and flew back again to Boris.

Daichi watched as a little way away, the King had made it to the bottom of the Gorge and had joined the stampede.

"Oh my Gosh! What are we gonna do Boris! What are we gonna…"

Daichi didn't finish his sentence. Boris had bashed the little guy in the beak, sending him into a wall, unconscious.

Boris smirked then looked back at the stampede.

Dickinson was making his way towards the tree at a good pace, half his worries on making sure he didn't get hit by the creatures around him, the other half on the safety of his son.

As he reached it, he managed a swerve to the side. He nearly reached the tree when he was struck down by one of the beasts. He roared in pain but mostly anger towards the stupid creatures.

Kai watched his father from the branch that was still swaying violently.

"Fath-" He started when suddenly a large wildebeest rammed into the tree, breaking the branch clear off, flinging the Prince into the air.

"ARRRGGGHHH!" Kai screamed, shutting his eyes. He braced himself for impact but strangely it didn't come. All he felt was a slight pressure around his middle.

Kai opened his eyes, and looked up. He smiled happily. His father had caught him in his jaws as he fell. Kai immediately felt safer, he always did when his father held him.

It wasn't over yet though. The King swerved dangerously to the side of the Gorge. It took everything he had to make sure neither him or his son was bashed by the raging animals.

Jumping up high, Dickinson managed to grab the side of the Gorge. Without hesitation, he placed Kai on a small ledge, out of harms way.

A second after, however, the King was whipped away from the side by the creatures.

"Father!" Kai cried after him.

The King had disappeared from sight. Kai's eyes darted everywhere searching desperately for his golden-brown fur, for his shaggy mane, anything.

Kai jumped as his father's seemingly giant form jumped straight out of the rampaging herd, his claws digging deep into the side of the Gorge.

Kai watched as the lion struggled up the side trying to get to the top.

'I gotta help him' Kai thought and turned around. He saw a small passage through the rocks around him and dashed through as fast as he could.

Back on the Gorge, Dickinson was struggling up the side. It seemed to be getting steeper and steeper and there was no way he could keep climbing this sort of rock. It had no footholds or anything. He was holding on by his claws only. The top wasn't very far at all but he didn't dare move his paws, he would certainly lose his grip.

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

The King's eyes widened at the voice, he looked up above him and felt a pang of hope run through his chest. Boris, his brother. His only chance.

"Boris!" He cried desperately, his claws slipping a little, "Brother, help me!"

Boris's mouth curved into a disturbing smirk, his eyes never left the other lions.

Dickinson ignored it and tried again, "Please, Boris! Help me up! My brother, please!"

Boris started to bring his claws down and for a second it looked like he would help. But then instead he rammed his claws into Dickinson's paws.

The King roared, deeply and would of let the side go if Boris had not got hold of him.

Boris continued to sneer at the King. He brought his head down, his muzzle right next to Dickinson's ear and whispered, in a voice that would send shivers down anyone's spine.

"Long live the King…"

Dickinson's eyes widened at his brother. He knew now that his brother was against him. Too little too late.

In one move, Boris wrenched his claws out of the King's paws, at the same time making them lose their grip on the rock. All this happened a split second before Kai made his way around a boulder.

Dickinson's heart raced as he felt himself fall backwards toward the stampede.

There was nothing he could do except let out a loud cry as he fell back.

"AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!"

"NOOOOOOOO!" Kai yelled as the great King disappeared beneath the herd…………

…………………And that's it.
