Ch 11 An Unexpected Savior
Reire raised how paw fully prepared to kill Nurisha but before she could suddenly three grey blurs came zipping in and knocked Reire to the ground. Nurisha quickly got to her feet and started to run. But she stopped when she heard the familiar voice of Chungu cry out, "Leave her alone you big bully!"
"Yeah!" Janja cried out from his place by his cousin. "Or we'll rip ya apart!"
"Hardly," Reire scoffed. "I'll rip you runts apart!"
"Oh no ya won't," Shenzi snarled, coming onto the scene with Banazi and Ed right behind her. "You're trespassin' there Reire," the Alpha Female growled as she and her brothers advanced on Reire. "This part of the Outlands is our turf. Now beat it before I stop bein' so nice!" With that Reire gulped and hightailed it out of there, with her tail in between her legs. "Jackals," Shenzi grumbled.
"Are you ok Nurisha?" Chungu asked the wide eyed six month old.
"Yeah I'm fine," Nurisha said after a minute. "Thanks for saving me."
"What the heck are ya doin' in the Outlands anyways?" Janja asked.
"I wasn't," Nurisha said. "I was sitting near the border when Reire grabbed me and drug me here."
"Damn that Reire," Shenzi growled. "Always pickin' on cubs."
"Yeah someone should run those jackals out of here," Banazi declared. Ed nodded in agreement and mumbled something.
"Yeah you said it Pop," Cheezi said, nodding his head. "Lousy scum bags."
"Well thanks for saving me," Nurisha said, as she turned to leave.
"Hey wait ya don't have to go if ya don't wanna," Chungu said.
"Well I don't know if if should stay," Nurisha declared.
"Hey if you're worried 'bout Reire comin' back then don't," Janja put in.
"Its not her that I'm worried about," Nurisha said, darting her eyes to the adult hyenas. "Last time they wanted to eat me."
"Yeah well we don't anymore," Shenzi commented.
"We don't?" Banazi asked, his black eyes wide with surprise. Shenzi hit her brother upside the head and Ed muttered something.
"Ed's right," Shenzi declared. "She's an outsider. Just like we are. Why else would she even consider stayin'?"
"Well I guess I am kind of an outsider," Nurisha declared. "I mean I get picked on a lot because I'm an albino and then when I fight back my parents wanna send me away to get my head examined.
"Really?' Cheezi asked, shocked that Nurisha's parents would do something like that.
"Yeah," Nurisha admitted. "And you'd think my dad would understand since he went through the same thing."
"Hold it," Shenzi said, holding up her paw. "Your dad's albino too?" Nurisha nodded so Shenzi continued, "His name wouldn't happen to be Kali would it?"
"Yeah," Nurisha said, surprised that Shenzi knew her father.
"Well what do you know?" Shenzi said to her brothers. "We got ourselves Kali's kid here." She smiled evilly and motioned for her brothers to follow her. Once they were far enough away Shenzi spoke again, "This is perfect. We have a chance to turn Kali's kid against him."
"But why would we do that?' Banazi asked. "I mean Kali really didn't do nothin' to us."
"Exactly," Shenzi said. "He didn't do nothin' for us neither. I mean we did everything for him when he was a cub. Hell we even let him be our boss so he could take out Mufasa and Sarabi. Then the louse don't even become King. He lets Simba become King. Then he just let Simba send us back here like he didn't even care 'bout us."
"Hey yeah," Banazi said, his voice rising. "He did do that didn't he."
"Yeah and because of that Colo, Suni and Delia are dead," Shenzi remarked. She was referring to her mate, Colo and Banazi and Ed's mates Suni and Delia. Ed's eyes got dark and he muttered something. "You got that right Ed," Shenzi said with a growl. "Kali needs to be taken down."
"Yeah," Banazi declared. "Simba too."
"Agreed," Shenzi said with a nod. "A what a perfect way to do it then by usin' Kali's kid to do it."
"Yeah," Banazi said with a laugh. "They'll never see it comin'." With that the hyenas let out evil laughs and went to join their kids.

Meanwhile Kaza was frantically searching for Nurisha. The tan coated cub had seen Reire take Nurisha into the Outlands and Kaza was trying to find her friend. To her relief she saw Nuka heading her way with Vitani and Kopa with him. "Nuka!" Kaza cried, running up to the brown coated ten month old. "Nuka something terriable has happened!"
"What's wrong Kaza?" Nuka asked, alarmed at Kaza's tone.
"I saw Nurisha get grabbed by a jackal!" Kaza cried. "She got dragged into the Outlands!"
"What?!" Nuka cried out. "Vitani you and Kopa stay here! Or better yet go get help! I'm going to try and help Nurisha!" With that the three cubs took off at top speed while Nuka raced into the Outlands.

Kaza, Vitani and Kopa didn't have to look far for help. They soon found Kali and Usafi along with Hafsa, who was playing with Chaka and Nash. Tama and Duran were also there but they were playing far from the other cubs. Just then they saw a furious Jasiri come storming up with Simba right behind her. But when Jasiri saw the frantic looks on the younger cubs' faces she stopped what she was doing. "Cubs what's wrong?" the rusty brown lioness asked.
"Nurisha got taken by a jackal and dragged into the Outlands!" Kopa cried out before Kaza could.
"What?!" Kali and Simba cried out, their eyes wide.
"Oh my baby!" Jasiri cried out.
"I told Nuka and he's trying to save her," Kazi expalined.
"Nuka can't take on jackals alone," Kali declared. "I'm going after them!"
"Wait Kal' I'm coming too," Simba declared.
"Jasiri you and Usafi stay with the cubs," Kali said as he and Simba into the Outlands.
"I hope that jackal eats Nurisha," Tama whispered to Duran.
"Heh yeah that would be great," Duran snickered, covering his mouth with his paw. Then the two cubs noticed Chaka was standing right there.
"Tama I swear you act more and more evil everyday," the sandy brown cub declared.
"I am not evil Chaka!" Tama shouted, glaring at her twin.
"Saying you hope Nurisha gets eaten sounds pretty evil to me!" Chaka shouted back.
"You said that about my sister?!" Nash growled, advancing on Tama. "I'm gonna rip you apart Tama!"
"Hold it right there young lion," Jasiri said, scooping up her son and pulling him away from Tama. "You are going to do no such thing."
"But Mom she said.." Nash began.
"I don't care what she said," Jasiri interrupted. "Whatever it is it can wait. Right now we need to go home and wait for your father and uncle to come back."
"I agree," Usafi said. "In fact I think all you cubs should come back. Can't afford to have anymore disappearances."
"For once we're agreed," Jasiri said with a nod. "Come along all of you." With that the group left heading back to Pride Rock.

Meanwhile Kali and Simba had caught up to Nuka and the trio were searching for the missing Nurisha. They soon saw her. And from where they were standing it looked like she was surrounded by hyenas. "Nurisha!" Kali shouted, racing towards his daughter with Simba and Nuka right behind him. "Get away from my daughter!" the silver coated lion snarled, getting in front of Nurisha protectively.
"Daddy don't!" Nurisha began. But she was silenced by Kali furious roar. By now Simba and Nuka had pounced on Banazi and Ed, while Kali had Shenzi.
"Hey back off there Kali!" Shenzi snarled. "This here's out turf."
"I don't give a damn if its your turf or not!" Kali snarled. "You were threatening my kid!"
"It just so happens we saved your kid," Shenzi declared, trying to shove Kali off of her. But the silver lion merely put more weight on her.
"Lair!" Simba snarled, putting more pressure on Banazi's chest, causing his eyes to widen in fear.
"It ain't no lie!" Shenzi shouted. "Ask your kid. She'll tell ya!"
"Its true Daddy," Nurisha said. "They really did save me."
"Why would you filth save my daughter?" Kali asked, eyeing Shenzi suspiciously.
"Because she saved my boy," Banazi piped up suddenly. Simba glared down at the male hyena, who gulped in fear.
"Please Daddy don't hurt them," Nurisha pleaded. Kali looked at his daughter then looked at his brother, who nodded. With that the three lions let the trio up.
"Ya know Kali," Shenzi said, her voice low and dark. "If I were you I'd think twice 'bout attackin' us again." Ed mumbled something.
"Yeah Ed's right!" Banazi shouted. "You owe us Kali!"
"How the Hell do you figure that?!" Kali snarled, glaring at the pair.
"If it wasn't for us you would have never got what you wanted," Shenzi pointed out. "Or have you so conveniently forgotten that we let you live with us when you was a kid?"
"Yeah," Banazi chimed in. "We even help ya get you revenge on Sarabi and Mufasa."
"Yeah by murdering them!" Simba snarled, baring his teeth at the hyenas.
"Hey that wasn't our idea there Simba," Shenzi pointed out. "It was his." Shenzi pointed at Kali when she said this part.
"I was a stupid kid back then," Kali declared. "And besides Scar put those ideas in my head."
"Yeah and you went along with it," Shenzi said. "Looks like you're more like him than you think. If I were you Simba I'd watch my back. You never know when Kali might want to be rid of you too."
"Enough!" Simba roared. "You're lucky this is your turf Shenzi. Otherwise I'd rip all of you apart!"
"Speaking of ripping things apart," Shenzi growled, looking over to her right. Simba, Kali and Nuka all looked and saw the rest of Shenzi's clan coming out of the shadows. "You better beat it before my Clan rips all of you apart," Shenzi hissed. With that Kali picked up Nurisha and left with Simba and Nuka right behind him. As Nurisha was being carried she saw Chungu emerging from behind a rock with his cousins right behind him. Chungu waved as Nurisha was leaving. Nurisha let out a sigh and waved back as she went back towards her home
