Author's Notes: Final Pre-Lion King 2 chapter.

Chapter 12: End of Friendship

Vitani was looking franticly for Shredder when she found him in a geyser field looking away. She cautiously walked up to him. She got close when a geyser went off and she yelped and he slowly turned towards her.

"Shred, I-"

"I don't give a warthog's a$$! If you're so sorry, tell it to Kopa! Oh wait, you can't because he's dead!" snapped Shred revealing his scar that made Vitani wince at the sight. He advanced menacingly causing her to back up. Geysers give off red gas.

[Be Prepared Music Plays]

Shred: ~I know you've come for forgiveness

But you won't get any from me, GET OUT!

I'm through being your friend

You can go back and rot in the Out Lands

Like the rest of your scum~

*Vitani looks around to see hyenas closing in*

S: ~I'll never forget

Nor will I forgive

This scar shows the error of my ways

Your kind is no longer welcome in my eyes

If I see you or any of your kind

I'll roast 'em

I'll shred 'em

They will not live!~

Hyenas: ~Get lost scum

You don't deserve forgiveness

Due to your actions

One of our own has suffered

That's enough to eat you alive!~

[Music speeds up]

S: ~I'll never become friends with another Out Lander

Turn your back on them

And they backstab you!

I will not befall the same Fate!~

H: ~Better start runnin'

Before we chase you back

You're not welcome anymore

Or ever AGAIN!~

S: ~Of course, I do have one thing to say~

*Jumps in front of Vitani*

~BETTER START RUNNING OR YOU'RE DEAD!~

H: ~Everything you said was a lie

We won't believe you anymore

You only have five seconds before we start chasing~

S: ~1~

H: ~2~

S: ~3~

H: ~4~

*Vitani takes off running*

S and H: ~5

Now let the hunt begin!~

S: ~Should of ran

When you had more time~

H: ~Thrill of chasing

Is so much fun~

*They chase her to the border and she runs across, yet they stop*

S: ~Go on get out of here

You are not welcome

You are not forgiven

You are not my friend

You are scum

You are trash

You are an Out Lander!~

H: ~Come back and we'll be sure to give you a one-way ticket

To your doom!~

S: ~Go and die!

Kopa would love that!~

[Music Ends]

Shredder watches Vitani walk sadly away and he just snorted as he and his group walk back to their home. Lightning flashes and thunder crashes as it rains.

Several Years Later; Pride Rock

Kiara comes out of the cave, full of energy and hyperness. She manages to sneak past her father and some other lionesses before she runs out towards the Out Lands unaware of a figure stalking her. This figure had a horrible scar running from his left armpit, up the right side of his neck, behind his right ear, down through his eye, and ends just below the eye. Shredder watched her for her safety. His mane was thicker than it was before Kopa's death but one thing that was different about him was he no longer had any humor. No one could make him laugh, not even Ed. His emerald colored eyes had no light in them.

When he saw Kiara walk across a log bridge, he felt like going over to her and chasing her out of the Out Lands but something told him not to. He watched Kiara met another cub, watched them jump across crocodiles and barely escape, and then he saw them beginning to play when Simba arrived and then Zira. Shred's eyes narrowed at the sight of her as she prepared to attack Simba but stopped when lionesses and hyenas backed him up. He watched them both leave before he starts walking home.

"I'm not gonna interfere. Besides, we all know Out Landers can never be trusted!" he said to himself as he walked on.

'If that cub comes to the Mid Lands or Pride Lands, I'll be sure to rip him apart extra harsh.' he thought as he saw the sparks of a relationship between the two and knew how that would end.
