Author's Notes: This is Pre-Lion King 2.

Chapter 9: New comers

Kopa was chasing after a frog when he stepped on a make-shift water bomb and got drenched and turned to see a...hyena(?) laughing at him. He looked closer at the hyena and saw small tufts of black fur around his neck, wings, and two curved horns. He also noticed the hyena had more of a body of a lion. The hyena noticed Kopa glaring at him.

"Uh oh." said the hyena before he took off running but that didn't save him from Kopa tackling him and the two rolled a ways before they hit a rock and both flew into a pond. Both climbed out of the water coughing and gagging and soaking wet. Kopa then tackled the laughing the hyena/lion/dragon but wound up getting his head slammed in the dirt and pinned.

"Get off!" said Kopa as the Hybrid kept laughing.

"Shredder, where are you?" came the rough, grate-y voice of Ed and then he spotted the two and laughed his usual goody laugh.

"Hiya, uncle Ed(1)!" said Shredder as he jumped off Kopa with a smirk.

Suddenly a certain hornbill came into view as Kopa picked himself up from the dirt and spit out a wad of mud.

"Young master, what are you doing all the way out here?" said Zazu looking at Kopa before Shredder pounced on him.

"I say! How rude!" said Zazu dusting himself off and crossing his arms/wings.

"Birdie Boiler." said Shredder grinning.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" screamed Zazu flying into the air like a rocket, Ed and Shredder fell back laughing.

"Did you have to do that?" said Kopa looking at the two.

"Maybe." said Shredder with a grin, "By the way, I'm Shredder, the son of Fang and Shenzi." finished the Hybrid extending a paw.

"Kopa, son of Simba and Nala." said Kopa taking the paw and both shook paws.

"Great! Last one in and out of the Out Lands, is a rotten hyena!" said Shredder taking off.

"Hey! You two can't go that way! Get back- oh, forget it! I need to get the others!" said Ed before he took off.

END CHAPTER

(1) Ed is not related to Shredder, but Shredder just calls him that.
