Chapter 21: The King has Return
At the jungle oasis Simba and Nala were talking, "Simba, you've got to come back to Pride Rock. I thought Sora might be able to help, but you're the only one who can save us from Scar," Nala said.
"I can't go back," Simba said back.
"Why? Nala asked.
"Hakuna matata. It's something I learned out here. Sometimes bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it," Simba explained.
"Simba…" Nala said softly.
Elsewhere Timon and Pumbaa were showing everyone but Kage, Rolf, Kevin, Eddy, and Lee, the way of the Jungle.
"Hakuna!" Timon shouted.
"Matata!" the others shouted.
"Hakuna!" Timon shouted again.
"Matata!" the others shouted once more.
Soon Nala walks past them, "He's not the Simba I remember. Something about hakuna matata..." she said.
Then the saw Simba walking away, "I wonder what's going on?" Kage said as he followed Simba with Double D and Nazz behind him.
"Simba, what's wrong?" Double D asked.
"It's nothing," Simba replied.
"Come on Simba tell us," Nazz said.
"Just leave me alone!" Simba shouted as he ran into the jungle.
Later that night Simba was gazing up into the sky, "My father's dead. And it's because of me... It's my fault. I can't go back... It won't change anything," he said softly to himself.
Then the memories of his father filled his head including the thing his father said one night, 'Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kinds will always be there to guide you... And so will I.'
'I don't know what to do now,' Simba said to himself.
"Simba."
"Father...are you there?" he asked out loud.
Soon cloud started to gather together to shape into Simba's father Mufasa. "Simba... you have forgotten who you are. You must take your place in the Circle of Life," he said.
"How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be," he replied.
"Remember who you are," Mufasa said as the clouds rolled away.
Simba stands there gazing into the sky, "You can all come out now." Soon everyone including Nala and Rafiki came out of the bushes, "I'm going back to face my past. I could use your help."
"He really is a king…" Timon said as the sun started to shin from the horizon.
"Shall we start heading out?" Rolf asked.
Simba nodded as he started to leading them out of the jungle and back to Wildebeest Valley. They soon reached the crevasse, "So how are we going get to the other side?" Eddy asked.
"Beats me," Kevin said as everyone looked around for something.
Soon Rafiki noticed a tall tree tilting toward the crevasse. "How 'bout we use this as a bridge," he suggested.
Double D was the first person to inspect the tree, and after doing some calculations in his head he finally said, "Yeah this could work but we'll need enough force to push it down."
"That's were I come in," Ed said as he walked in front of the tree and took a few steps back. Then he charged and ram into the tree causing it to tip over and becoming a bridge.
One by one they crossed the crevasse and entered the barren wastelands known as the Pride Lands, "Wait a minute. We're gonna fight your uncle for THIS?" Timon asked.
"Yes, Timon. This is my home," Simba replied.
"Yeah don't judge a home by how crummy it looks," Lee complimented.
"True because we live in a crummy house," May added.
"Shut it May!" Lee shouted.
"Come on you two, quit bickering and let's get going," Donald said as everyone but Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, May, Lee, Jimmy, Nazz, and Ed, got their weapons and ran into the savannah.
Soon the group was near Pride Rock where a large numbers of hyenas surrounded it. "Gee wiz, look at all those hyenas," Pumbaa pointed out.
"Yeah how are we going to get pass them?" Jimmy asked.
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Simba replied.
After a few minutes Timon and Pumbaa was running away with a lot of hyenas on their heels. At the ledge of Pride Rock looking and seeing the hyenas chasing after Timon and Pumbaa, then he hears something behind, he turns to face Simba, Double D, Kage and everyone else. "Simba! You're...alive!" Scar said surprised.
"This kingdom doesn't belong to you," Simba said.
"Simba's the rightful king," Nala pointed out.
Simba approached Scar as Scar started to back off, "The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or fight."
"Must this all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member, Simba..."
"I've put the past behind me," Simba replied.
"But what about your faithful subjects? Have they?" Scar asked.
"Simba, what's he talking about?" Nala wondered.
"Go on. Tell them who's responsible for Mufasa's death! Scar said pacing around Simba
"I am" Simba replied in a sad tone.
"He admits it! Murderer!" Scar accused, "If it weren't for you, Mufasa would still be alive. Do you deny it?"
"No! But it was an accident!" Simba pleaded.
Soon hyenas started to gather around them with lionesses, "You're in trouble again. But this time, Daddy isn't here to save you. And now everyone knows why!" Simba trips over the edge and he was hanging for dear life. And to make it worse lighting struck the dried up plants and started a wild fire, "Now this looks familiar. I think I've seen this before. Oh, yes! I remember. This is just the way your father looked...before he died." Then Scar plunged his claws into Simba's paw, "And here's my little secret..." he leans his head near Simba's ear," I killed Mufasa."
Soon the memories of his father's death flooded in his mind and he shot up from the ledge and lands on Scar with his paw on his throat, "Murderer! Tell them the truth!"
"All right. All right! I did it," Scar confessed.
"Louder!" Simba demanded.
"I… Kill… Mufasa…" then the hyenas jumped and attacked Simba then everyone else started to attack each other as Scar made his escape.
"Simba, you go after Scar," Kage said, "We'll take care of things down here."
Soon out of know where Timon and Pumbaa rushed in and knocked away some hyenas, "'Scuse me! Pardon me! Comin' through!" and they create a path the Simba used to follow Scar.
But as soon as Simba left, Nala ran up to Kage, "Kage I have a bad feeling about this. Can you go and help Simba?"
"No problem," Kage said as he ran towards the others, "Donald, Goofy, follow me! Double D, Nazz, Rolf you guys follow me too!"
With that the six of them was climbing the side of Pride Rock, "So Kage why are we climbing Pride Rock?" Nazz asked.
"Nala wanted us to make sure Simba is okay," Kage replied.
"So did you bring us?" Double D asked.
Before Kage could replied they reached the top were Simba and Scar were fighting. "Simba!" Donald shouted.
Before Donald could help Rolf stopped him, "No, this is his fight."
With the fight Simba claws at Scar, and Scar claws back, knocking Simba away. Scar tries to pounce on Simba, but Simba lifts his legs, and tosses him over the edge of Pride Rock.
"Alright Simba!" Nazz shouted.
Simba turned to face the other, "You're okay!" he said.
"Yeah, and it seems you already defeated Scar," Double D said.
"That's what you think!" Pete shouted as he reached the top, "that was just a sneak preview! 'Cause this ain't over---not by a long shot!" Pete pointed to the ledge as a claw rose up, "Anger and jealousy turned the king of Pride Rock into a Heartless! Oh, your kingdom's gonna rise again..." by this time Scar is already back up, "But this time, as the Pride Lands of Darkness! Just like Seda did a thousand years ago!"
"That's not true! You know nothing of Seda!" Kage shouted in frustration.
"Oh Kage, you should really brush up on your history, because the truth is in there," Pete said as he ran off.
"Damn you!" Kage shouted.
"Kage don't worry about him, we've got bigger problems," Rolf said as they turn to Scar.
"This is my kingdom!" Scar roared creating a bright light blinding the heroes.
As the heroes opened their eyes they noticed they are one a very large rock platform in the middle of the sky, "How did this happen!? Goofy wondered.
"Look out!" Donald shouted as Scar lunged at them, but everyone was able to dodge the attack, "Thundaga" Donald shouted as a large lighting bolt hit Scar.
"Pathetic," Scar mocked as he appeared unharmed.
"Try this!" Rolf shouted as he swung his flail and hit Scar's back.
Then Kage and Double D both came charging at Scar with weapons ready, "This is getting boring," Scar stated as he dodged the attack and pounced on Double D, "This is he end for you."
Before Scar can do anything Nazz jumped on Scar and slinked her claws into him. Scar screamed in pain as he tried to shake her off, this gave Double D a chance to pick up his weapon and strike Scar. Nazz was able to jump off of Scar and Goofy retreated into his shell and spin his shield into Scar. Then Simba ran up to Scar and clawed him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"That hurt Simba," Scar said, as flames started to surround Scar, "But let me show you may true power."
"I'm not afraid of you!" Simba shouted as his body started to glow. Scar let out a roar and charged at Simba. Simba also did the same thing and charged at Scar. As they got close there was a bright glow.
When the glow faded away they were back on top of Pride Rock and Scar was gone. "What happened?" Double D asked.
"Simba's light was too great for the darkness in Scar's hear, so it destroyed him," Rolf said.
Soon it started to rain and putting out the wild fire. "Come on, let's go," Simba said as he started to climb back down with the others behind him.
At the bottom all the hyenas were gone everyone watches as Simba ascends the promontory. As he reaches the edge, he lets out a loud roar. The lionesses roar in unison.
Soon Kage, Donald, Goofy, Double D, Nazz and Rolf rejoined with the rest of the group, "So I see the fight went well," Eddy said.
"Yeah, at least we'll know that the Pride Land will be safe now," Sarah said.
"So now what?" Lee asked.
"It's time for us to leave," Kage replied.
Timon and Pumbaa heard what Kage said, "Your leaving already," Pumbaa said, I'll go tell Simba."
"Aw, he's prob'ly busy. Just tell him we'll be back soon," Goofy said.
"Oh, that's right---he's king now," Timon pointed out, "He's gonna be so busy he'll prob'ly forget all about his two best buddies."
"Well, you always got hakuna matata, right?" Kevin asked.
"Guess so…" Pumbaa said.
Timon was surprised at what Pumbaa said, "Whaddaya mean, "Guess so"!? What if he forgets to tell the carnivores who we are? One look at you, and you're a pig roast."
"That's MISTER Pig Roast," Donald corrected.
"Same thing! And I'm not sticking around to be anybody's pork dinner!" Pumbaa said as he ran off.
"Pumbaa!" Timon shouted as he chased Pumbaa.
"You can never forget your true buddies," Double D said to himself.
Later, Donald and Goofy were back in their gummi ship, Ark, while everyone else was back to normal in the Black Angel II, "Ah it's good to be back to normal," Kage said as he sat down in the pilot seat, and he noticed his cell phone.
"Finally after a long time we get to walk on two legs," Lee said in a relax tone.
"Yeah my arms are sore from running on all fours," May added.
"Donald, Goofy, we have to return to Twilight Town," everyone heard Kage.
"Why?" Donald asked over the radio.
"Something's going on," Kage replied as he turned off the radio.
"What's going on?" Nazz asked.
"I got a message from Olette, she said that Marie appeared in Twilight Town and someone attacked them," Kage explained as the ship took of to Twilight Town.
