Ch 25 The Final Showdown

"What the Hell are you doin' here?" Reire snarled, glaring at the uninvited guests.

"Stoppin' you Reire," Shenzi snarled, glaring right back at the female jackal.

"Yeah," Banazi chimed in. "You jackals ain't got no right to be botherin' those lion cubs. So we're here to tell ya that either you let 'em go or they'll be trouble."

"Please," Reire scoffed, rolling her eyes. "This isn't your fight hyenas. So if I were you I'd beat it."

"You made it our fight when you started invadin' out turf," Shenzi growled.

"And attackin' our pups!" Banazi snarled. Ed growled something as he was glaring at Reire as well.

"Yeah we haven't forgotten what you did to Cheezi!" Chungu, who was now a year old, snarled. "Attackin' him and almost killin' him!"

"Well if you hyenas had just minded your own business then that wouldn't have happened," Reire declared coldly. Ed snarled and lunged towards Reire but he was stopped by Shenzi, who had to hold her brother back. Ed muttered furiously at Shenzi.

"Yeah I know Ed," Shenzi said. "But this ain't the time. Ok?" Ed stopped and relaxed slightly, but it was still obvious that he was furious.

"So you just decided to join forces with the lions is that it?" Reire asked. Unknowingly to her while Shenzi and her brothers and their pups were distracting Reire Chaka and the others were sneaking behind them and towards the cave where Nurisha and Kion were being held.

"Nurisha!" Mashango hissed. "Kion! Where are you guys?!"

"Here!" Nurisha hissed back. "We're over here!" With that Mashango and the other ran over to the cave and Chaka, Duran and Kopa pushed away the rock that was blocking the entrance.

"Whew am I glad to be out of there," Kion declared.

"C'mon," Kopa hissed. "Lets go before..." But the golden Prince stopped when he turned and saw Kuiba, Mjanja, Shida, and Wavivu standing there with a few more jackals.

"Well well well," Shida hissed, glaring at the group. "Looks like someone was planin' a jail break."

"Yeah," Mjanja laughed cruelly. "And a failed one at that." With that the brother and sister let out cruel laughs.

"If I were you I'd get back in that cave," Kuiba hissed, glaring at Nurisha and Kion.

"No way in Hell!" Nurisha snarled back.

"Well fine then," Kuiba growled. "Looks like we're gonna have to make ya." With that the female jackal and her siblings began to advance on the group with the rest of their pack behind them. The group all got into fighting stances and lunged at their foes. The group connected biting and clawing the whole way. Kion and Kiara stayed back, unsure what to do. But soon the decision was taken out of their hands when two full grown jackals advanced on them. Gulping the twins backed away, knowing they wouldn't stand a chance against them. But Kopa was watching and he tackled one of the jackals sending him hard to the ground. But this still left the other jackal, who was staring at Kiara and Kion with gleaming eyes. But suddenly Kion got confidence and he swatted the jackal hard, leaving four long scratch marks on his face. Kion then hit the jackal as hard as he could in the chest, catching his off guard and sending him to the ground. This gave the twins a chance to run. Kopa had thrown the other jackal off of his with the help of Chaka and they were going to help the other. By now Reire had become alert to what was happening and she, Dogo and the rest of her pack went to help. But Shenzi and her brothers quickly intercepted and the fight was on.

Meanwhile Simba, Kali, Nash and Nuka were all anxiously awaiting their meeting with Reire. They had gone to meet with Shenzi and her group but to their surprise they weren't there. Cheezi, who was still recovering from his injuries, informed them where the hyenas had gone. "C'mon," Simba said. "We need to help them." With that the four lions went off to help their hyena friends.

Meanwhile Nurisha was having trouble fending off Shida and Mjanja. But soon she was joined by Tama, who tackled Shida to the ground. "Thought you could us a little help," the creamy golden cub said with a smile.

"Thanks," Nurisha panted as she dodged Shida's blow. Then her white eyes went wide. "Tama look out!" Nurisha cried when she saw Wavivu coming up behind her. But her cry was to late and Wavivu delivered a hard hit to Tama's head, sending her to the ground. Nurisha went to help Tama but Shida tackled her, preventing her from helping. But suddenly Hafsa was there and she helped her sister throw Shida off of her. The two sisters went to help Tama but to their horror they saw Reire standing in front of them. She had managed to get away while the hyenas were fighting Dogo and the other jackals.

"Surprise freaks," she hissed, raising her paw. Reire struck the sisters hard, sending them crashing to the ground. Reire wasted no time and hit the two again, sending them skidding across the ground. She went to hit them again when a voice cried out, "Get away from my sisters!" Suddenly Mashango jumped on Reire's back, biting and clawing as hard as he could. Reire roared in pain and tried to throw the golden cub off of her. But Mashango held strong, refusing to let go. Reire rammed against the rock wall, making sure Mashango took the majority of the blow. Nurisha and Hafsa stood both of them shaking their heads to clear their vision.

"We've gotta help Mashango 'Iesha!" Hafsa cried out, her violet eyes wide.

"Yeah I know Haf'," Nurisha said, closing her eyes in an effort to stop the spinning. But Shida suddenly came flying in tackling Nurisha to the ground. Hafsa went to help her sister but Nurisha cried out, "Help Mashango!" Hafsa nodded and raced to help her little brother, who by now had been thrown off of Reire and landed hard on the ground. Reire had her paw raised to strike Mashango but suddenly she was tackled by Tama and Duran, who had raced to his girlfriend's defense. But Dogo and Mjanja were there and they intercepted the duo, tackling them hard. Tama quickly threw Mjanja off of her, throwing him into Wavivu, who was coming to help. Both brothers fell to the ground, unconscious. Tama raced to help Nurisha and together the two lionesses threw Shida hard across the ground. The pair wasted no time and attacked together. In a matter of minutes Shida was taken down. But then Kuiba was there and she lunged for Tama. But Nurisha intercepted and the two collided. But Nurisha was still recovering from Reire's attack and was knocked out cold. Kuiba went in to hit the unconscious lioness. But she was stopped by Reire, who held up her paw.

"No Kuiba," she said roughly. "The freak is mine!" Kuiba stopped and allowed her mother to step forward.

"No!" Tama shouted. "Nurisha! Leave her alone you bitch!" Tama went to help her friend but she was stopped by Kuiba and Shida, who pinned the creamy golden lioness to the ground.

"Nurisha!' Hafsa cried out when she saw what was about to happen. The silver coated ten month old tried to help her sister by Mjanja and Wavivu had recovered by now and the brothers, pinned Hafsa to the ground. Mjanja held Hafsa tight while Wavivu helped Dogo subdue Duran.

"You're next freak," Reire said, looking coldly at Hafsa. "Once I finish this one off you're next." Then the female jackal advanced on the still unconscious Nurisha for the kill. But suddenly a thunderous roar echoed through the air shaking the Earth. The group all looked to see who had roared and they were shocked by what they saw.

TMNTTMNTTMNT

Reire and her Pack all looked over and to their surprise they saw Mashango standing there looking furious. "Was that him that roared?" Mjanja whispered to Dogo.

"Don't be stupid," Dogo whispered back. He's a cub. Cubs can't roar like that."

"Leave my sister alone Reire," Mashango growled, his amber eyes firery.

"And what are you gonna do 'bout it?" Reire snarled back. By now Kopa, Kion, Chaka and Kiara had joined the group. They were followed closely by Simba, Kali, Nash and Nuka, who had helped Shenzi and her Clan defeat the rest of the Pack.

"Mashango!" Kali cried, going over to help his children. But he was stopped by Nash.

"Dad I think this is something Mashango has to do," Nash pointed out. Kali gave his oldest son a look and Nash said, "Just a feeling I have." Kali opened his mouth to protest but he stopped when he heard Mashango call out.

"Last chance Reire!" the golden cub growled. "Let my sisters go!"

"Not a chance," Reire snarled.

"I said," Mashango growled. "LET THEM GO!" With that Mashango let out a thunderous roar that shook the ground. The others jackals ran away in fear, including Reier's children. But Reire stayed put.

"I've waited a long time for this," Reire snarled. "And no one is going to stop me. Especially a brat like you!" Kali growled and went to help his children. But suddenly he stopped and shut his eyes tight as Scar's voice echoed through his head.

"Now's your chance Kali," Scar's voice said. "Now's your chance to attack. Simba is distracted. Attack now! He'll never see it coming."

"No," Kali whispered, shaking his head. "No I won't do it. I won't." This got Simba's attention and he looked at his older brother. The golden King knew what was happening and he got the attention of Nash, nodding towards Kali. Nash nodded, knowing what was happening as well. Simba got the attention of Nuka and the pair went to help the others, while Nash helped his father.

"Dad fight him," Nash urged, remembering what Rafiki had told them. Rafiki had said that the only way to fight Scar was to face him and not let fear take over. "You're stronger than he is Dad," Nash continued. "You're better than he is."

"Don't believe him Kali," Scar's voice said. "He's a mere child. He knows nothing. You cannot fight me. It is your fate to become like me. Embrace your fate Kali. Embrace it and kill your brother."

"No!" Kali shouted, the sweat pouring off of him. "You're wrong Scar!"

"Damn right he is Dad!" Nash cheered. "You tell him! Send him back to Hell!"

"My son is right," Kali said. "I am stronger than you. I won't let you win. You will leave me! Now!" With that Kali let out a powerful roar and Scar's voice faded away. And it didn't come back. Kali opened his eyes and saw Nash staring at him.

"Are you ok Dad?" the rusty brown lion asked.

"I'm fine son," Kali said with a smile. Then he nuzzled his son saying, "Thank you Nash."

"Anytime Dad," Nash said with a smile of his own. "Now c'mon lets go help the others." With that the father and son raced to help the others in their group.

Meanwhile Reire lunged for Mashango. But she was intercepted by two unlikely savors. Kion and Kiara leapt at the female jackal, catching her by surprise. "You miserable brats!" Rerie snarled, swiping the twins hard in their faces, sending them flying in the air. They landed hard in the ground. Reire laughed cruelly, thinking she had a win. But Mashango had other plans for her. He stepped in front of the female jackal, glaring at her. Kopa, Hafsa, Tama and Duran were right behind him. By now Kion and Kiara had recovered and were standing off to the side.

"I warned you Reire," Mashango growled, his voice shockingly deep and booming. Kali and Simba skidded to a stop as they realized who Mashango sounded like.

"Kings Above," Kali whispered, his white eyes wide.

"He sounds like Dad," Simba whispered, his amber eyes wide with shock. Nuka and Nash exchanged confused looks but neither lion said anything. The other cubs were staring with wonder at what was happening.

"You should have listened Reire," Mashango said, his voice still sounding like Mufasa's. Reire's eyes were huge as she listened to what was being said. Suddenly the clouds began to form the shape of a lion's face. By now Nurisha was waking up and she stared in amazement to what was happening.

"I knew it," the snow white lioness thought with a smile. "I knew Mashango was special."

"Since you did not listen you will face the consequences," Mashango declared. With that he looked up and the wind began to blow and the clouds circled around him. Reire backed away in fear.

"L-look I..I'm sorry ok?" she stammered, terrified at what was happening.

"Its far to late for sorries," Mashango declared. "Far to late. Let this be a warning to you and your kind Reire. Leave now and never return. The Pride Lands and the Outlands are forbidden! Come back and the punishment will be far more severe!" Reire gulped and her eyes were huge. With that Mashango took a deep breath and let out a thunderous roar. This combined with the wind sent Reire and the rest of her pack flying through the air until they were gone from sight. Once they were gone the wind stopped and the clouds disappeared, leaving nothing but clear blue skies. After a few minutes everyone found their voices again and they were all staring at Mashango, who looked at them with confusion.

"That...was...awesome!" Kion exclaimed, his green eyes filled with excitement.

"Mashango how did you do that?" Nash asked, looking at his little brother with amazement.

"Do what?" Mashango asked, clearly confused. "What just happened?"

"You don't remember?" Hafsa asked, the surprise clear in her voice. Mashango shook his head. Kail opened his mouth to explain but Simba interjected.

"I think," the golden King said. "That this can wait until we get home. Wouldn't you agree Kali?" Simba looked at his brother when he said this part.

"Yeah," Kali said, letting out his breath. "I agree. We should go home now. Explanations can wait." With that the group headed back to Pride Rock.
