Author's Notes: I own nothing but Fang and Shredder (Lion/Hyena/Dragon Hybrid, not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles version).

Sorry this took me so long, but I finally came up with an idea. Don't forget to read, review, follow, and/or favorite this story. And, YAY! Over 2,000 views!

Now that Lion King 2 is over, the next arc will most likely be made up...unless they suddenly make a Lion King 3 (not Lion King 1-1/2).

Chapter 19: The Drought

Simba sighed as he watched his eldest son play-wrestle with Shred and Vitani and he wondered why they were doing it.

"What's the matter captain, can't stand watching someone as an adult play?" said Timon with a smirk, "Don't bother denying it, before you took your rightful place as King, you used to be just like them."

"Timon." said Simba rolling his eyes.

"What? It's the truth. Besides, you've seen how different Shred's been since Kopa came back. So why not let them have a little fun? Besides, you could use a break Mr. I'm-too-Busy-to-Visit."

"You two pretty much visit me."

"Yeah, because we don't have a choice. We used to wait for you, but it took us two weeks to figure out you weren't coming, so now, we come to you and the walk here...Oi...is very painful."

*CRUNCH!*

"OW! Kopa, you cheater! I said no biting!" yelled Shred as he tried to get Kopa to release his tail.

3 Weeks Later

A massive drought had hit the savannah, the Watering Hole was now 1/4 its original size and instead of the grass being somewhat green and lush, it was now a dry and brownish color. Most of the herds had moved on, some stayed yet the lioness hunting parties were coming home each day with less and less prey. The same could be said with the Mid-Landers, but with hyena hunting parties and they were somewhat forced to eat scraps of anything found around their home and even some bones from the Elephant Graveyard.

Hyena Mountain; 4 Weeks Later

"Fang, I need to talk with you." said Shenzi as she entered their den.

"Let me guess, it's about the water and food supply? Yes, I know things are not going well, but what can we do?" said Fang rubbing a paw through his mane.

"No, it's not that. Some of the clan members are threatening of leaving if either we don't get some more food or the herds don't come back."

"What do you propose we do, go up to a herd of wildebeest and say, 'Hello, we're low on food, so could you please return to the Pride Lands so we can slaughter and eat you?' I don't think that would work."

"Either that, or..."

"Or what?"

"We leave Hyena Mountain and the Pride Lands."
