Simba and the team and I started to look for Scar, but our search was suddenly interrupted when the hyenas, snarling, swarmed over Simba like a wave! Luckily, the lionesses joined in the fight with angry roars. They started knocking the hyenas off Simba.
Suddenly, we heard the same cry Timon and Pumbaa gave out when chasing away the vultures long ago. It was them! They charged straight into a group of hyenas, knocking one by one into the air. The team and I were surprised, even though we knew they'd be able to escape the other hyenas we didn't expect them to join the battle like that.
"'Scuse me, pardon me, comin' through, hot stuff!" Timon said.
Pumbaa butted a hyena, and walloped another one behind him with his back legs. He and Timon then split up, which the team and I were confused by since we thought Timon was too scared of hyenas to fight them on his own.
Simba ran toward the wall of Pride Rock, tossed a hyena off his back, and swiped a couple more away. Another one leapt off a ledge above Simba and bit Simba's throat, but the hyena got hit in the head with a stick!
Looking where the stick came up, Simba and the team and I saw it was Rafiki with his staff! He let a battle cry and leapt down to use martial arts on some of the hyenas, including a cool move of punching a hyena behind him in the face. The team and I would have watched him longer, but we suddenly noticed Timon running away from Banzai and Shenzi, so we turned to them instead. The two hyenas chased Timon into a cave.
"Let me out! Let me out!" Someone inside the cave called out.
Zazu! The team and I were relieved that he was alive, especially after seeing Scar strike him unconscious during the stampede years ago.
"Lemme in! Lemme in!" Timon said, rushing into the cage made from bones that Zazu was in.
Scared, both he and Zazu clung to each other. Timon then let go of Zazu and folded his hands into a begging position.
"Please don't eat me." Timon pleaded.
"Drop 'em!" Someone ordered from the entrance.
The hyenas looked back and saw Pumbaa standing there.
"Hey, who's the pig?" Banzai asked.
"Are you talkin' to me?" Pumbaa said.
"Uh-oh, he called him a pig." Timon said.
"Are you talking to me?" Pumbaa repeated
"Shouldn't-a done that." Timon added.
"ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?"
"Now they're in for it."
"THEY CALL ME MIS-TER PIG!" Pumbaa cried angrily.
Banzai and Shenzi looked at Pumbaa with fear as he charged towards them, screaming with fury.
Ed H had approached the entrance to the cave. It was lucky for him that he didn't enter the cave, but he still had to dodge bones and rocks that were flying out. He wasn't able to dodge them all.
As Pumbaa attacked Banzai and Shenzi we could hear battle yells from Timon and Pumbba coming out of the cave. It was hard to hear them all, but we got this much:
"Take that you stupid…. Take that and that…!" Those I think were said by Timon...I guess Pumbaa was too busy fighting to say anything.
Shenzi and Banzai suddenly zoomed out of the cave and got themselves tangled up with Ed H. The three of them managed to untangle themselves and they zipped away in different directions. Pumbaa, Timon, and Zazu reached the entrance at this point.
"Yeah run ya yellow bellies!" Pumbaa shot at them.
"Oo! Oo! Oo! Oo!" He and Timon chanted victoriously.
Simba, meanwhile, was still searching for Scar. Tintin saw Simba looking around and pointed him out to us. I flew Rip into the air so that we could help, and we looked towards the end of Pride Rock where the hyenas were fleeing. A few seconds later Jenny noticed a weird looking rock on a path to our left and Lupin saw her staring at the rock. Together, they figured out what that rock really was:
Scar.
"Simba! Over there!" They called together.
Simba and the rest of us looked. We saw Scar trying to sneak away, but he froze with fear upon realizing that he had been discovered. Scar quickly ran away and, growling, Simba chased after him.
"Why that bashi-bazouk!" Haddock said.
Only Rip, Tintin, Snowy, and I didn't stare at him for those words.
"Beg pardon?" Cleo said.
"Sea-captain language." Haddock explained.
Some of the team couldn't keep from giggling/chuckling. Haddock looked a little annoyed by this but he didn't say anything.
The team and I followed Simba down the path, but then Rolph noticed that we were being followed.
"Simba look out! Hyenas!" He shouted.
Simba managed to turn around before the hyenas attacked. He prepared to fight them...
"Hey Pumbaa!"
We all looked and saw Timon and Pumbaa on a ledge overlooking Simba and the hyenas.
"What do you call a hyena with half a brain?" Timon asked.
"Beats me Timon, what?" Pumbaa asked, laughing.
"Gifted!"
We all cracked up. Even Ed H laughed but Banzai hit him to shut him up.
"They're talking about us." He scolded.
"For your last meal," Shenzi retorted to Timon and Pumbaa. "You're going to eat those words."
Timon and Pumbaa just grinned and zipped away. The hyenas chased them and they left our sights. However, three hyenas decided to continue following Simba, but we didn't know that at the time.
The team and I beat even Scar to a ledge, but there was too much fire from the previous lightning for us to land. Then I pressed the button on my belt and a dome squirted out and pushed the fire aside, creating a space for us to land. We did and got out of Rip.
"What is this?" Kaya marveled.
"This is my force shield." I explained. "It can block out anything solid, liquid, or gas…except for oxygen of course."
The rest of the team was impressed.
Scar suddenly came by, but since there was fire below the ledge he was trapped. Simba leapt through a firewall behind Scar.
"Murderer." Simba whispered angrily.
"Simba please, please have mercy I beg you." Scar pleaded.
"You don't deserve to live."
"But Simba, I…am…uh…family." Scar cowered, scared. "It is the hyenas, who are the real enemy. It was their fault it was their idea!"
At that point I sensed hyenas nearby and looked. The team noticed and looked too and we saw three hyenas, two male and one female, growling and leaving upon overhearing Scar.
"Nice try!" The team and I shot back.
"Why should I believe you?" Simba agreed sternly. "Everything you ever told me was a lie."
"Adios Scar." Josefina said coldly; normally she's very friendly, but she did empathize with Simba in a way so...
The rest of the team and I glared in agreement.
"What are you going to do?" Scar asked Simba, scared. "You wouldn't kill your old uncle."
"No Scar." Simba sighed, though he was still angry. "I'm not like you."
"Oh Simba thank you, you are truly noble I'll make it up to you I promise." Scar said, relieved. "And how can I prove myself to you? Tell me any-anything."
"Run, run away Scar, and never return."
Looking shocked by that, Scar started to slink away. The team and I wondered why Scar would be shocked by that order. Later on we found out from Simba that Scar had said the same words to him after the stampede.
"Yes...of course...as you wish...your majESTY!" Scar growled, suddenly swiping some hot embers right into Simba's eyes!
Simba, crying in both pain and shock, brushed the embers out of his face.
"HEY!" The team and I cried angrily.
Scar suddenly attacked Simba, biting him at the back of the neck and pushing him down! They tumbled, but Simba fortunately managed to knock Scar off him. Scar tried to pounce on Simba again, but Simba pushed Scar back. Scar suddenly countered with two swipes, one on each shoulder, causing Simba to roar with pain. Simba struck Scar right in the face, but got hit in the face in turn. Scar then swiped Simba near the edge of the ledge.
Simba recovered and looked in front of him. At first there was only fire, but then Scar appeared through the flames, claws and fangs bared! Scar landed on Simba, who instantly kicked Scar off him. Scar flew over the ledge and tumbled down. The team and I went over to the ledge and watched Scar fall. Simba recovered and looked down too. Then we heard a voice:
"I'd say Scar is down and out."
It was Pumbaa! He was on a ledge between us and the ground. He was there with two other meerkats, but Timon was neither of them! He was gone!
"We did it! We did it!" The male meerkat cheered.
"Where's Timon? Where's my baby?" The female meerkat cried; we immediately guessed this was Timon's mother. "He's hurt, oh no he's dead! Or worse!"
Worse? How could he be worse? Okay so Dumbledore did say that there are worse things than death but in this situation we couldn't think of anything...
"We've gotta find him! We've got to find him!" Timon's mom cried.
What she didn't notice was that while she was crying out hysterically Timon crawled, unharmed, out of a crack behind her.
"It's okay ma…." Timon began.
"Oh please it is not okay!" She cried, shaking him roughly. "Don't you tell me it's okay!"
She stopped, realizing that she was shaking Timon instead of the other male meerkat.
"Timmy, my son the hero." She said proudly.
She raised her hand as if to pet his hair but stopped herself.
"You missed a spot." Timon smiled, lowering his head.
His mom smiled back and petted it lightly. The male meerkat sniffed emotionally.
"That's so beautiful." He sobbed, hugging Timon tightly.
"Choking! Not breathing!" Timon gasped.
"Timon, Pumbaa!" Wanda called, getting his attention.
Timon, Pumbaa, and the other two meerkats looked up towards us.
"Who are your friends?" Cosmo asked.
"Well, I have a feeling you know that she's my mom." Timon said, pointing at his mom.
The team and I nodded, smiling. Then Timon pointed to the male meerkat.
"He's my Uncle Max."
"Guys!" Snowy suddenly said. "Look over there!"
The team and I looked to where she was pointing, and we saw three hyenas talking to Shenzi and the other hyenas, the ones who chased Timon and Pumbaa before. That was when we realized that Timon's mom and uncle set up a trap to lead the hyenas down to the ground and Timon and Pumbaa were the bait.
While we were watching the hyenas we noticed Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed H growling at something, and then leading the others towards Scar. We then looked down and saw Scar slowly picking himself up. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed H arrived. Scar noticed them and was happy to see them, even though they didn't look happy at all.
"Ah, my friends." Scar smiled.
"Friends?" Shenzi said skeptically, almost chuckling. "I thought he said we were the enemy."
The team and I realized that the first three hyenas were the ones who overheard Scar make that statement, and they had just told Shenzi and the others.
"Yeah, that's what I heard." Banzai agreed.
Scar widened his eyes with terror.
"Ed?" Shenzi and Banzai both asked.
Ed H gave a really creepy chuckle, and then he licked his lips. More hyenas arrived, cackling evilly and surrounding Scar.
"No, let, no let-let-let-let-let me explain!" Scar pleaded, horrified. "No, you don't understand…no I didn't mean…no, no…I didn't...no...I can explain..."
It was too late, the hyenas attacked Scar, who gave a final roar before they killed him. We all instantly looked away with disgust and horror.
The fire roared up against Pride Rock, but luckily Timon and the others joined us in the force shield before the fire reached us, so they were safe from being burnt. Also luckily, it started to rain.
After the fire died down we all left, heading back towards the main ledge of Pride Rock. Zazu was the first one to meet him, and he bowed to Simba. Simba then approached his mom and Nala and nuzzled them.
Suddenly, we heard a rattling sound. It was Rafiki and his staff, rattling the fruits on his staff. Rafiki pointed up the main ledge. Simba, understanding what Rafiki wanted, walked towards him. Then he stopped and turned to where Timon, Pumbaa, and the rest of us were. He hugged us the best he could and we hugged him back.
"I couldn't have done it without you guys." Simba said.
He then let go and continued towards Rafiki.
"That's our boy." Pumbaa said proudly.
"I promised myself I wasn't going to cry." Timon sobbed before crying on Pumbaa's shoulder – or at least as close to it as he could reach.
When Simba reached Rafiki he bowed, but then Simba hugged him. Rafiki hugged Simba back.
"It is time." Rafiki said after letting go.
We all watched, almost mesmerized, as Simba walked up the main ledge. When Simba reached the edge a break in the clouds appeared.
"Remember." Mufasa's voice said.
Simba did, he roared the roar of coronation. The lionesses roared too, to show that they accepted him as king. Simba then gave a final roar to seal it, like putting a signature on a document after looking it over.
