Elsa let out a startled cry as she was pulled up through the clutter of leaves. As appeared to the next branch above, she looked up to her captors and was met by the white furred monkeys she had seen a time earlier. The primate then passed her to the side, where she was then grabbed by another and passed along.

"Hey, let me go!" She cried as she was passed along.

Many hands took hold of the girl-cub as they passed her along. As she was brought to the primate who was perched on the end of of the branch, he gripped Elsa's wrist and swung her over to the next tree.

"Bagheera!" She cried out.

"Bagheera help!"

Bagheera stopped and looked back up at the tree, where he then saw the Tumbili people making off with Elsa

"Elsa!" He exclaimed.

The panther first turned and grabbed the spear in his jaw before turned and racing to her aid. He ran up to the trunk of the tree before he quickly climbed to the branches where the Tumbili once stood. He stared ahead for only a brief moment to the Tumbili as they swung off, carrying Elsa within their clutches. While not truly clear of what intentions these thieving primates have with the girl-cub, he knew well of what they would do to her.

Without another moments thought, he then leaped to the branch of the next tree as he chased after the white monkeys.

As they moved swiftly through the tree tops, the Tumbili held Elsa by her wrists and ankles high over the jungle floor. Struggling to break free, she was then thrown through the air and was then caught by another who continued to swing her along.

"Let me go!" she cried.

However her demands were without response by the Tumbili, who only continued to hoist her along. She then gazed up through the opening between the clutter of leaves, where she saw a familiar blue and white bird fly overhead. Elsa gasped with anticipation, knowing it was Zazu.

"Zazu!" She called out to the Majordomo.

"Zazu help!"

Zazu stopped as he looked down to the jungle below, where he then spotted Elsa being carried away by a pack of familiar monkeys. He gasped as he flew down to her air.

"Zazu, help me!"

"Elsa, hold on!" He called out to her.

Just as he was to swoop down and help her, suddenly something flew past him which caused him to stop dead within his tracks. He couldn't make out what it was, but it looked like it was piece of fruit of some kind. He turned to the direction where it came and saw several of the Tumbili throwing pieces of fruit. He quickly ducked as one flew over him.

"Well I say!"

As he stood back up, he was suddenly struck by a oval shaped mango, causing him to fly back and land in a bush of leaves. He shook off the sudden landing as he gazed ahead to the Tumbili who had disappeared into forage of the trees ahead.

"Oh, this awful!" Zazu cried as he flew up from the branch.

"I must tell Mufassa!"

Though before the majordomo could take any such action, Bagheera leaped atop the branch from behind. As he set down the spear he carried, before looking to the bird once more.

"Zazu!" he said urgently.

"Ah, Bagheera!" He said with relief.

"The Tumbili, they've taken Elsa!"

"I know." Bagheera stated.

"What are we going to do?!" Zazu exclaimed.

"We got to go after them!"

"Zazu, fly ahead!" He said.

"See where they are going."

"Oh yes, at once." Zazu said. before he took off after.

Bagheera then leaped to the next branch.

Zazu flew into the air high above the tree. Souring over the jungle, he peered down below to the openings between the clutter of leaves for Elsa and the Tumbili. Cocking his head from left to right, he could see no sing of them anywhere. He suspected that they must be far ahead. The Tumbili were known to be quick through the tree tops. Even more so then the Cheetahs who prowled through the open Savannah. Even when they carried away goods they had stolen from the villages, they still could be swift through trees. Carrying away a girl cub no less didn't look to prove trouble for them.

"Where are they?" He asked himself.

As he looked ahead, he saw ruffling of leaves in the trees ahead. The sight of which was one of a relief to the majordomo, suspecting the ruffling of leaves were the thieving primates who had taken Elsa. With haste he flew down toward the sight of suspicion.

Elsa was once more thrown to the next tree and was then caught by another, who swung the girl to the next branch. Elsa cried as she flew through the air before suddenly being grabbed by her shoulders by the bottom hands of white fur primate. The Tumbili proceeded to swing her through the trees, grabbing one branch to another as he carried her like a hawk who had caught his prey.

Desperately, Elsa grabbed hold of the primate's ankles. All the while she looked back as much as she could in hopes that she could see Bagheera.

"Bagheera?" She called out.

Yet all she could see were the white monkeys who were following after them. She then looked up to the sky to see if Zazu was flying over head. Yet through the openings between the clutter of trees was only the clear mid day sky. The majordomo nowhere in sight. Yet suddenly she heard a call from a distance behind her.

Elsa looked back once more before hearing the voice once more coming from above. She glance up and saw Zazu swooping in.

"Zazu, help me!" she called to him.

"Don't worry, Elsa!" he called to her.

"Bagheera is coming!"

Yet she was given little time to think of the news, as she suddenly she was once more tossed into the air. Zazu gasped upon sight.

"Why you careless scatterbrains!" he said, repulsed by their actions.

"King Mufassa will hear of this-"

Zazu ducked as piece of of fruit was once more thrown at him, causing it to pass over his head.

"Why..." he said before he leaped into the air to avoid another projectile.

The monkeys continued throwing fruits and sticks at him as the others made off with Elsa. Once the others were ahead, they soon turned and followed suit after them.

"Get back here!" Zazu demanded before he flew after them.

He soured through the trees for a a short time before he flew out into a clearing, over the trees which grew above a steep hill side. The Tumbili scampered down through the cover of the forage, causing the branches to shudder as they carried away Elsa. He then looked up and gazed forward to the direction they were going. In the near distance just ahead, he saw a pass through several great mountains.

His beak dropped and his eyes gaped wide open. He needed to find Bagheera at once. Turning back, he flew off to find the panther.

Bagheera leaped from one branch to another, following the path of the Tumbili. Yet his pursuing was still far in between, for the panther was still a ways back from the steep hill pass. Though Bagheera was swift on his paws, not even the leopard so black as night could not keep up with the white monkeys.

"Bagheera, Bagheera!"

As the panther landed atop the branch he looked and saw Zazu coming back from where the monkeys had gone. Setting down the spear, he looked back up to the majordomo.

"Zazu, what is it?" He asked.

"The Tumbili," He said, trying to catch the breath he lost.

"They're taking her to the mountains!"

It was is as he fear, they were heading to Milima iliyokatazwa. A forbidden place in the jungle, claimed by the Tumbili. It was a place far outside the territory of the pride. Through what lies beyond the pass was never seen by the jungle folk, for not even the kites ever dared to fly above the mist that shrouded within the mountains.

"Milima iliyokatazwa," Bagheera said.

"Oh my," Zazu said, riddled with panic.

"What do we do? No one has ever been in Milima illyokatazwa!"

"I'm going after them." Bagheera proclaimed.

"Your what?!" Zazu gasped.

Zazu flew up before the panther.

"Bagheera, have you lost your senses?"

"If I don't, Elsa will be lost." Bagheera stated.

Zazu was stunned at the mere thought, left without a single word to say over the fear he had of the inevitable outcome. The panthers words did indeed speak the truth. No one other than that of the Tumbili people had seen what lied within the mountains and had ever returned. If they were truly taking Elsa to the mountain pass, she would never again be seen.

"Oh my." he said.

"Those scattered brains wouldn't have taken her unless they were told." Bagheera said.

"If they're bring her to the pass, they are no doubt taking her to their king."

"What would he want with Elsa?" Zazu asked, curious of his intentions.

Bagheera glance ahead. Whatever the kings intentions are, they were a mystery to the panther much like the majordomo. Yet he knew well that Elsa would be at great risk from whatever he planning.

"Who knows," Bagheera said.

"But we must save her before those careless do anything to her

"I'll inform the pride at once!" Zazu declared.

Zazu the flew off passed the panther as he raced off to warn Mufasa and the others.

The Tumbili leaped from the trees and landed upon it's stone surface. Elsa was held from her wrists by two of the white furred primates. The then leaped from the branches, flying through the air for a short while before landed upon the straight side of the cliff. Together, they climbed as they hoisted the girl to the top of the mountain. Elsa glanced down to the jungle, which started to shrink the high they became. She was frighten beyond the will of action. Bagheera and Zazu were no where to be seen and she was so high above ground. If she even attempted to escape, she would end up falling.

She then looked up passed the two monkeys who had seized her, to the top of the cliff with was approaching in such a rapid rate. Just as they were to climb over it, the primates suddenly tossed the girl into the air. Elsa flew up and over the edge, landing atop the ledge. Elsa leaned up off the ground before she looked up and was met by a clutter of the white monkeys, who gathered around her. Elsa crawled backward from the primates, only for the others to climb over the edge behind her. Elsa got up on her feet as she backed away from them.

"W-what do you want?" Elsa asked, looking about the crowd of monkeys.

"You, child of man," One of the apes insisted.

"We want you."

"Me?" Elsa asked, curiously.

"Yes, king want you." Another proclaimed to the girl cub.

"Great power, you are great power."

"Great power?" Elsa said, curious of what they meant by great power.

"King, king that way." The primate said, pointing behind the girl.

Elsa looked back and saw the pass through the mountains, shrouded with mist. She then was nudged forward by one of the monkeys. She looked back to the white fur primate, who grunted to her and pointed to the pass. The girl cub looked back to the pass. The sight was quite unnerving to her to say the least. However with little options there were, there was not much in way she could do. Elsa took in a deep breath as she then followed the monkeys.

Elsa looked up to the high mountains which stood side by side, which were covered atop by lush green ferns and trees. She then gazed down back to the pass where she saw several of the white monkeys disappear into the fog. She felt a cool chill through her body, her heart beated so loudly within her breast. What was in there?

Where were they taking her?

A hand then pressed against Elsa's shoulder, shoving her forward toward the mountain pass. She looked back at the many Tumbili behind her, who grunted at her her. Elsa turned forward as she then climbed atop the small ledge. As she stood up, she then proceeded to walk among the white primates as they entered into the mist shrouded pass.

As they entered the mountain pass, the concealing grey mist engulfed them. Elsa could hardly see anything ahead of her. She could barely make out the monkeys who were walking ahead of her. As she turned and looked back to where they came, the grew fog had covered any sight of the cliff or the jungle. Elsa moaned nervously as she turning forward, trembles began surging through her body. She had become so much nervous then before. She was far from home and Bagheera and Zazu were no where to be seen. There wasn't anything she could do, the monkeys would stop her at any attempt to escape.

She pressed both hand up to her chest as she continued through the pass.

As they continued walking, the stone walls of the two high mountains grew apart till the only thing to be seen was the mist. Elsa looked about and still she saw nothing except the monkeys around her. Yet as she looked forward, she saw something ahead. She squinted her eyes curiously as she came closer and the fog cleared away from the it concealed from her young sight.

Just before Elsa was to get a good look of whatever it was, upon stepping forward she then found herself falling. Yet it was only a short while before landing upon what felt like a hard stone surface. Upon picking herself off the harden ground, she looked up and was faced by a dry brittle skull of what once was a man. Elsa gasped as she leaped back. She suddenly hear a strange cracking sound to her side. She looked down to her side, she saw the shattered remains of another bone. Elsa quickly stood up and backed away. As she looked around, she gazed upon further remains of people who had long passed.

She was to bare upon the horror of the sight for only a short time, for then the Tumbili leaped down from above the fog and landed before the girl. The brown, fragile remains shattered under their hands and feet. Once more did they compel the girl to keep moving, making Elsa turn and continue walking.

As the fog began to clear, Elsa gazed about her surroundings. To her she saw a tall standing structure which looked to be a house of some kind, made from solid grew stone. It had no roof over top of it and several of the white monkeys were pocking out from the windows and doorway.

As she looked about, she noticed several other ruins much similar to the one she saw. Many of which differed in size and structure. It looked to be a city of some kind. She wandered if people used to live here and if so, where were they now and why was it full of monkeys? More of the Tembili peered from all around her. From above atop the ruins or from the ally ways they passed. They all grunted and stared down to the girl.

As Elsa gazed ahead, she saw a wide clearing just ahead, where several more white monkeys sat or crawled about. Some were grooming one another fur while others ate bananas. Though as Elsa and the following monkeys walked into sight, they turned their curious attentions toward the girl-cub.

They cleared the way for her and the others, stepping to the side as Elsa walked they were soon to follow after her.

Elsa turned from her captors as she gazed forward. Just ahead of her, she saw a large gateway where two tall pillars stood next to another along with a wall that extended from their sides. Much of which was crumbled and there was several openings embedded.

The wild girl walked in through the gateway, entering into what was a courtyard. There across the way on the other side was a large temple of some kind. It was in the shape of pyramid, only it was missing it's triangular top, there was moss and lush vegetation which had grew over the grey stones of the structure and two strange statues stood on each side of the stairway which stood before the entrance.

Staring up at the temple, Elsa was once again pushed forward by the monkeys behind her. She looked back to the tumbili, who pointed up the stairway.

"King!" he said.

"King!"

Elsa looked up the stair way and back to the tumbili. She once more turned forward as she came down on all fours, climbing up the stone steps. As she came to the very top, Elsa stood up and faced the entrance of the temple. It was dark, riddled with blackened shadows from inside.

"Whats in there?" She asked, looked back at the tumbili who came from behind.

"King!" The monkey said, pointing forward.

"King!"

Elsa looked back, curiously before she started to walk hesitantly to the entrance.

Bagheera leaped from one tree to another before he had reached the high cliff of Milima iliyokatazwa. The panther leaped down from the tree as he landed before the mountain. He gazed up to the very top which looked to be a reach far above. The panther then pounced and leaped up into the air, landing atop the side of the mountain. He then began to climb the mountain side.

It was dark for the most part, aside from the light which came from the entrance. Elsa walked anxiously through the hallway along side the monkeys. Elsa glance about the narrow tunnel. Passed the pillars, she looked at the walks and saw drawings of some kind. Much of was hard to see as most had faded due to the many years. However from what she could see, it look as if people were bowing before what looked to be a giant who was bestowing some kind of small plant to them.

She wasn't given much time to look before being pushed forward. Elsa looked forward and saw a wide open room, where there was many piles of fruit and treasure littered all throughout. Elsa looked about the open room as she came to the very center, where the once source of light beamed inside. She looked up and saw a squared shaped opening over top of her.

Elsa lowered her gaze as she looked to the piles of gold orients and jewelry off to her side. She bent down as she picked up a golden necklace like object from the ground. She turned it all about, looking at it from all sides.

Yet right at that moment, the chattering from the monkeys had picked up. It was growing louder and louder then before. She turned to them and saw them slipping back, grunting. Elsa turned to them, dropping the necklace to the ground. Suddenly she heard the sound of something large dropping down from behind. Elsa turned and looked back. She couldn't see what it was, for the shadows concealed it's appearance from the girl.

From what she could tell, it was something... giant looking back at her.

There was a moment of silence before a strange voice came to break it.

"Tell me, small one." the deep brooding voice said.

"Do you speak the language of the jungle?"

Elsa was hesitant to answer.

"Well?" he asked.

"Y... yes." Elsa said.

"Ah, good." The voice said.

"So you are the man-cub. Please excuse my subjects, but when we heard you were near of territory we had to bring you here. There's much you can offer us."

"I do?" Elsa said.

"Why yes, man-cub." The voice said.

Elsa was curious by the voice's insistence to her use. She wasn't sure what it was she could offer to him, what is was that he wanted from her. Though the bigger question she had was who it was behind the shadows.

"Who are you?" She asked, curiously.

Stepping out of the shadows and into the light, it was revealed to be a large mountain gorilla, much larger then that of Kerchek. His fur was white like the monkeys and he had a long beard hung down from his chin.

"I am Kabwa." He said.
