A.N: Alright Fellas, last chapter! I think you are going to like this. This will be very long compared to my other chapters. Enjoy!
"Does this hurt?" Nala asked bending Simba's left elbow.
"No, please stop testing my muscles out. I've been through enough for one day," Simba complained.
"Mufasa said I needed to make sure you were alright. Which is exactly what I'm doing."
"Ow! Don't bend it too fast," Simba whinced in pain.
"Simba!" Simba heard Mufasa's voice.
"Oh that must be Mufasa!" Nala turned around to see Mufasa standing with a orange lion with a brown mane and 20 females. All standing at attention.
Mufasa ran over to help Simba get up.
"No father, I'm not too weak," SImba got up quickly before his father could reach him.
Mufasa was deeply worried about his son's condition.
"These troops are at your command, I explained everything to Ta chala. He understands now," Mufasa smiled.
Simba would have loved to relish this moment, but he had no time to waste. He had to get back to Pride Rock.
"We have no time to waste. We must get to the battle field immediately," Simba took off running toward Pride Rock, even from here you could see it.
"You heard the king! Move it!" Ta chala commanded his pride.
Everyone took off behind Simba, Simba started out slow, but the pain from the hill had vanished from over time. After a few minutes he was off to a full sprint, hopefully the destination would be victory.
Scene Change
Sarabi and the lionesses formed a quick line as Scar ordered his hyenas to charge. Sarabi sent one lioness to take all of the cubs to the top of Pride Rock to keep there. Sarabi and her lionesses were trapped. Sarabi had no time for a motivational speech. It was time to do or to die.
The hyenas charged fast and furious. But the lionesses smothered there little bodies into the ground and sank their teeth deep in to their necks. Sarabi and the lionesses kept fighting hard, knowing if they didn't, everything good would die. All of the charging hyenas were dead.
"Second wave, Attack!" Scar yelled as he studied the lionesses.
This wave was much bigger. The hyenas ran but there was so much more of them that they pushed the lionesses back. Sarafina, who had just taken little Nala to the top of Pride Rock, came up to the lioness line just above ground level and lowered herself to push the hyenas back. The lionesses slowly recovered, and shoved the hyenas' lines backwards.
"Reform the line! Nothing gets past us!" Sarabi rallied her troops.
Scar, who had been studying the lionesses strategy organized his hyenas into an arrow. Pointed at the middle fo the line. This was strange to have peaceful moments like these between battles, but Scar planned to change that quickly.
"Third wave! Penetrate their line!" Scar yelled.
The hyenas charged In their arrow formation. Sarabi tried to organize the lionesses quickly to send more lions to the middle, but it was too late. The number of hyenas overwhelmed the middle of the line, and crashed through. Sarabi and Sarafina rushed backwards on the small path to the thin strip which led upwards towards the top of Pride Rock. Which was the last place to be before they were wiped out. Sarabi had no choice but to leave the main core of lionesses and ready the rest of the lionesses and Sarafina to make a last stand on the small path. The path could only fit one lioness at a time, giving the lions the advantage because the hyenas could only come up one at a time. Sarabi felt very guilty leaving the lionesses behind by themselves. Sarabi knew this is what they wanted in order to protect their cubs. Sarafina ran up to Sarabi who was organizing the lionesses.
"Sarabi! You aren't going to leave the lionesses down there are you?" Sarafina asked in shock.
Sarabi looked Sarafina right in the eyes and sternly.
"I have no choice but to leave them Sarafina. I don't like it, but they realize there sacrifice will buy us time," Sarabi went to the top and grabbed the remaining lionesses, then she counted as many lionesses as she had left.
"6. A small number but that is not what matters. What matters is the fact they can only come up one at a time. We should slow them down, if not stop them."
The lionesses stood ready for orders.
"Sarabi, will any help come to us?" Sarafina shivered at the thought of dying.
"All we can do is hope and prepare for the next charge," Sarabi said confidently.
Sarabi had gone through training to be queen in times of crisis when the king was absent for some important reason. She wanted to show sadness and grief, but she realized she had to remain strong. The lionesses fully trusted her judgement and there was no lack of trust in this group.
Sarabi looked at her fellow sisters. A couple were experienced, just like her. Then some were just growing up, starting to have a life. Sarabi felt bad for those.
"Lionesses, say final goodbyes to your cubs. This is where we make our last stand."
Scene Change
Big Simba POV:
I saw Pride Rock get bigger and bigger in the distance. We were almost there! After a few minutes I stopped, realizing we entered the border into the Pridelands. The Pridelands were the same, but there was a fire at Pride Rock, and I could hear a lion's cry in the distance. My Mother! I looked back and saw my personal army stop to a halt just behind me. Everyone came to a halt, breathing hard and looking at me.
I studied Pride Rock. The hyenas were heading up the trail towards the top. I was surprised to see the hyenas so active. With my mother shrieking like that, I could only assume bad things.
"Lets move!" I yelled as me, my father and Ta chala ran ahead of the group of lionesses behind us.
Scar POV:
The attack was going perfectly. Most of the lionesses were dead and we were making our way towards the top to kill the traitorous lionesses.
"Scar!" I turned around, angry someone would interrupt my moment of victory.
"What is it?" I calmed myself down.
"A pride of lions has entered the Pride lands. One scout said they were lead by your brother and two other lions.
"Ah, so my brother finally decided to show up. Well, it's too late for him. Is that rogue with him as well?" Scar asked his informer.
"Yes."
"Move the troops into Pride Rock. Out there we would be murdered. We shall make the pride work hard if they want to move fast and save their fellow pride," Scar ordered.
"Yes sir," The hyena turned and left to fulfill my orders. Another hyena came up to him.
'Scar!"
"What is it this time!" I turned around angry.
"We can't penetrate the lionesses. The trail is to the top is too small. Only one hyena can go at a time."
"Let me get to the top. I'll make a hole, then send the hyenas through that hole causing mass chaos," I grinned. I was so good at making great plans quickly.
"Yes my lord," The hyena followed me as I headed up Pride Rock to end this once and for all.
Mufasa's POV:
We ran fast, little Simba was holding on tight, but I was concerned about what I was going to do with him when I reached Pride Rock. I was concerned about my son's ability to lead, but he had carried us this far. I had to trust him. We came near Pride Rock, all of the hyenas had gathered inside the stronghold. The hyenas were stupid. They would have just stayed in the open plains. It had to be Scar.
The lionesses caught up, and I saw Simba look around. I picked up little Simba by the scruff and set him down by the rocks.
"Stay here Simba. Don't argue with me about this. Alright?"
Simba nodded with a disappointed look on his face.
"Thank you," I hugged my son. It might be the last time I would ever see him.
Big Simba's POV:
I saw my father drop little me on the ground and heard him tell little me to stay put.
My father looked at me and told me he was ready.
"For the Pridelands!" I yelled as we charged with renewed energy from all the running.
Nala was the first one ahead of me, she being faster than me and all crashed through the hyenas who were ready for the attack. Nala could be the nicest lioness you could ever meet. But on the hunt, she was something else. Nala swung her claws, killing hyenas as I charged into the hyenas, lowering my shoulder, not killing them, just trying to break through to the lines to reach my mother. The lionesses could take care of them.
After going through three or four lines of hyenas, A wall of hyenas had pushed me back. Mufasa came flying in and slashed the hyenas in my direction. I joined him in immediately as another hyena howled as his throat was crushed by my father's bite.
"Simba! We have to get to Sarabi!" Mufasa yelled over the chaos.
"Lets go!" I yelled back.
"I'm coming with you," Nala demanded.
I nodded in approval.
We ran out of the battle zone that raged around Pride Rock, and headed to the back where only roars and howls could be heard.
"I know of a way to the top in the back of Pride Rock," Mufasa talked to me.
The path was just a pathline of trees on the back of Pride Rock. I wondered why I had never been here before.
We reached the top and we saw the cubs all by themselves.
"Where's my mom?" One of the cubs asked.
"I'm sure your mother will be fine sweetie. Who is she?" Nala asked.
"Sarafina," the cub answered.
I saw Nala's eyes light up immediately.
"Well handle this Nala. You stay here and protect the cubs," I said.
"Simba?" I walked over to Nala.
"Yes?"
Nala licked me right on the cheek.
"Be careful," Nala smiled.
When she kissed me, my whole body went limp. It was feeling that I truly didn't understand at that time. The cubs thought differently however.
"That's gross!" Little Nala said as the cubs covered their eyes.
"Don't worry kids, you'll like it soon enough," Simba and Nala laughed.
"You handle taking care of your mother. I'll teach Scar his lesson," Mufasa was focused on the matter at hand.
I wasn't going to stand in my father's way. This was his fight.
"Do what you need to do," I answered as us three ran down the Pride Rock trail. We immediately came upon Several lionesses. Some were down and injured, and some were standing and fighting strong. One of the lionesses laying down was Sarabi.
"Mother!" Simba came up and nuzzled her.
"Who are you?" She asked. Wincing in pain.
"Nevermind. I'm a friend of Mufasa's. How did this happen?" I asked looking at her deep wounds.
"The hyenas stopped charging us because we were stopping them. Then we focused ourselves on healing those who were injured. Then without warning Scar attacked us and killed two lionesses. We fought back and he ran off somewhere. I don't know where though," She got up and hobbled around, sniffing the air.
" Sarabi go to the top where the other lionesses are. You'll be safe there," Mufasa came down where she got up.
"Mufasa! I knew you were alive, I checked the gorge where Scar said you died and there wasn't a body there. Who is this?" Sarabi asked curiously.
"Why this here is our boy Sarabi. A future Simba."
Sarabi looked at Mufasa like he was crazy.
"Sarabi I'm telling you the truth. It's a long story, but our younger son is safe in a hiding spot."
Sarabi just gave Mufasa a confused look.
"I'll explain everything later. Just please go to the top and tell the lionesses who he is. Okay?" Mufasa asked.
Sarabi nodded her head, now staring at me. She seemed lost. I was worried about her. She slowly limped up the path to the top.
"Is she okay?" I asked.
"I think these lionesses have been through a lot today. Now Simba, I was thinking, we shouldn't worry about catching Scar yet. If we help Ta Chala defeat the hyenas, we would have a bigger search party."
"I agree," I said.
"Well what are you waiting for son? We got a battle to win here!" My father charged down the path to the battle below on the rock.
He crashed into hyenas, diving his jaws into their necks, killing them in an instant.
"Ha Ha Simba! I've killed 7 already!" Mufasa laughed.
"I'm on 18!" I yelled back, killing some more hyenas.
"18! You were on 7 a second ago!" Mufasa yelled back.
I chuckled as I counted hyenas that I had killed. It wasn't necessarily fun it was just fun to have competition. Hyenas aren't exactly that. Even if they out number you.
But all the laughter stopped when I heard my father say something I would never forget.
"Scar must be stopped, no matter the cost."
Mufasa who was right next to me took off at full speed towards the tip of Pride Rock. I didn't need to see to know what he was going after. I fought off more hyenas as my father ran after Scar.
Third Person POV: Scar was trapped on the tip of Pride Rock with nowhere to run. He had only one choice. He had to fight his brother. Mufasa slowly approached Scar, who was in a defensive position. He was ready for Mufasa.
"Why would you do this brother?" Mufasa asked angry.
"Why would you dare challenge me?" Scar snarled.
"That's a question you should ask yourself Scar," Mufasa said.
Scar dove at Mufasa, but Mufasa jumped up in the air slapped Scar in the face with his paw. Scar landed hard on the ground, but got back up. Mufasa went on the offensive now, striking Scar in the face with a hard hit quick hit. Scar jumped up when Mufasa wasn't looking and bit Mufasa on his arm. Mufasa screeched out in pain while Scar smiled and smacked Mufasa again.
Simba saw what Scar did and ran up there to help Mufasa. Ta chala got in his way.
"Stay away, that's his fight," Ta chala ordered.
"I've gotta help him!" Simba pushed through Ta Chala as he ran to the tip of Pride Rock.
Mufasa slashed Scar across his belly. Then Mufasa sent an uppercut to Scar's face. Scar fell over down and defeated.
"Finish him off Mufasa! Do it now!" Ta chala yelled from below. Mufasa breathed heavily as he panted over to Scar's body, tired.
Scar looked to his left and saw some fire dust. He came up with an idea.
"Please Mufasa. Show mercy. I am your brother," Scar slowly crept forward.
"No you don't Scar!" Simba dove at Scar, but Scar crept backwards, sending Simba straight into the pile of fire dust.
"AAGGGHHH!" Simba shrieked, pain burning in his eyes.
Scar got up quickly and tackled Mufasa, who was trying to help Simba, Scar tried to pin Mufasa to the ground, but Mufasa was just to powerful. Simba had recovered from the attack, and was now pinning Scar to the ground with Mufasa.
Scar breathed heavily.
"You… have… won. Now finish it," Scar closed his eyes.
"I will not kill you brother," Mufasa replied softly. Mufasa got off of Scar.
Scar's eyes turned angry. "Then Die!" Scar yelled as he dove at Mufasa.
Mufasa ducked, and Scar flew over him off the tip, to his death.
The hyenas saw there leader fall, and leaderless, they now had no reason to fight. They wanted no more fighting Later that night, and with their goal complete, Simba turned to Mufasa.
"Father, I'm glad your alright," Simba smiled hugging his father.
Mufasa wasn't as happy.
"It didn't have to end this way," he said sadly, remembering his brother.
"No need to be sad about the past. You just have to learn from it. Rafiki told me that while I was in the forbidden pool," Simba explained.
"Speak of the devil. Look who's here," Mufasa looked at the base of Pride Rock.
"Raffiki!" I ran to the old shaman, who gave me a big hug.
"I did what I set out to do. And thanks to you, My father is alive. No more suffering, no more pain. Right?" I got excited.
"Yes Simba but there will be more challenges in the future. The circle of life never stops. So does the circle of life's problems. But now is not the time for that. Your father has declared you king, and everyone is ready."
Simba's Pov:
I looked around, at all the faces of this journey. I looked at my mother and the lionesses, who told me their story about how they rebelled against Scar and stood up to him. It also made me a little sad, to think of those lionesses who gave their lives saving their children. It would be hard for the children to recover, that's for sure. But it was not time to focus on that. I turned my head to see Nala, and little Nala, sitting on her head. Both of them had that sweet smile, and there presence made me feel more than happy. Nala had been through almost everything I did. She was the one who woke me up from my hakuna matata lifestyle. Nala was the perfect woman. I would love her so much till the day I died. I saw right behind her Ta chala and his pride. It amazed me the way they answered the call of duty and entered the battle lines with short notice. It reminded me of how much others should be just like them, ready,and willing to leave a hand. I walked to center of Pride Rock where I saw my father, the one who this whole journey was about. There was no other person in my life that would have more of an effect on me than him. He was a good leader, and a good lion. A good teacher and parent. Then there was Rafiki. The one who made this whole thing possible. Without him none of this would of happened. I walked up the jut of Pride Rock, as the bright sun shone down upon me. I looked at these faces again. We had come a long way for this to happen. I would not of traded this moment for any other.
Then I roared, letting the pain of the past let go, it was all over. So much had happened, but we were just getting started.
A.N: Well that's a wrap! I will be making a sequel to this. Everything is already planned out, I just need to write it out. Before the sequel I am going to create a good Simba nala SNL from an angle ive never seen anyone use. I promise I'll use Nala a lot more in the sequel . Anyways, PLZ Review! :D
