Author's Notes:
Chapter 5: Revelations about the Past
Fang looked at his reflection in the water and sighed before he shook the idea out of his head.
'No! I'm nothing like that corrupted jerk!' thought Fang looking away from his reflection and he chanced a glance only to see his father instead of his reflection.
"GO AWAY!" yelled Fang slamming his paw into the water, ruining the calm waters. He began crying at the thought of his father.
"Fang?" came the voice of Simba.
"What?!" snapped Fang not facing his ex-friend.
"What happened Fang? Last time I saw you, you where happy and friendly, now you're almost as bad as Scar."
Fang whirled around and got in Simba's face.
"Don't you dare compare me to your wicked uncle! If anything I'm like my father!" said Fang before he jumped onto a rock ledge and the scenery changed.
[Friends on the Other Side Music]
Fang: ~My life's been miserable 'til you and Mufasa came
But now it's gone downhill
I've lost friends, I've lost family, I've even lost my heart
I've given into darkness, yet I'm not evil
Just misunderstood~
Voodoo Heads: ~Are you ready?~
Fang: ~Yeah I'm ready
What about you?~
VH: ~We said are you ready?~
F: ~Come on Simba, don't weigh me down now!
My friends are twisted but aren't we all?
This life's miserable
But I've become used to it!~
VH: ~Get used to it
Cause we ain't leaving!~
F: ~You're uncle's gonna pay for banishing me from my home
Don't worry Simba, you aren't my target!
Unless you get in my way, that is!~
VH: ~Don't get in his way~
Simba: ~Fang quit this before it's too late
Revenge only gets people twisted
F: ~You're one to talk!
You never lost anybody, 'cept your father
I lost my mother, my home, my only friend
I get a new home, new friends
And it's all taken from me!~
(Bum-bum-bum-bum...)
F: ~My plan will have to wait
But I'm patient!
I don't care how long it takes!
I got friends on the Other Side!~
CD (Cousin Death) and Voodoo Heads: ~He's got friends on the Other Side!~
CD: ~I rule the Other Side and I'm giving him a chance
If he blows it
It's not my problem!
I'm through getting involved
This is my last interference!
So get it right boy!~
F: ~One chance is all I need
That and an army of double-crossers to overthrow the tyrannt!~
VH: ~Overthrow the tyrant!~
F: I'm twisted inside
But I've come to love it!
I'm not evil!
Just misunderstood!
Don't judge me by my actions
Judge me by my life!~
VH: ~Are you ready?~
F: ~Time for the finale!
Me and my friends are gonna go far
Your uncle's life is mine, don't you forget it!
Time is on my side~
VH: ~Time is on his side!~
F: ~I've got friends on the Other Side!~
[Music ends]
Fang walks away from a stunned Simba. After regaining himself, Simba chases after Fang.
"Fang! Wait. Who was your friend, before me and Nala?" said Simba getting in front of the Lion/Dragon Hybrid.
"It's been so long I've forgotten his name but he was a fully grown lion..."
FLASHBACK
"Come on, Feral! I don't want to outrun you!" said a 2-year-old Fang as he ran ahead of an old lion.
"My, don't you have energy. Heh heh. I'm coming." said Feral as the two walked through the Elephant Graveyard.
The two cross an old rock bridge, cautiously but come under attack by Hyenas.
"Fang, run!" said Feral blocking the hyenas' path.
"Feral, they have us cornered!" said Fang getting close to Feral.
"No, only me." said Feral as he picked Fang up in his mouth and threw him to the other end of bridge before he jumped on the rock bridge bringing it down with all the hyenas. Fang ran back to the edge and watched as Feral disappeared into green muck with a sad smile on his face.
"FERAL!" cried Fang.
END FLASHBACK
"That's why I was so fearful that day." said Fang as tears escaped his eyes, "I never wanted to lose somebody to that place again. It's been haunting me forever."
"Wow. Now I know why you wanted to leave so badly...I actually feel bad about calling you afraid now." said Simba looking down and away.
"What's in the past is down. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna see if I can go hunt something...that doesn't tastes like bugs. Yuck!" said Fang before he walked away disappearing into the forest.
