Chapter Six

"Wake up, you worthless idiots!"

Banzai yelped as someone kicked him hard. Some wake up call.

Shenzi opened her eyes to see Scar standing over them, scowling.

"Get moving," he growled. "We're leaving in ten minutes."

"Where are we going?" Shenzi asked with a slight tone of annoyance.

"To the caves within the Elephant Graveyard," Scar replied icily.

"What?" Banzai asked once he recovered from the kick. "Why?"

"Its closer to the Pride Lands."

"What's wrong with the Outlands?" Shenzi asked.

"If things don't work out in the Pride Lands, I'll rule over the Outlands," Scar said, rolling his eyes.

"What?!" Banzai and Shenzi cried, waking Ed up, who had slept through it all.

"Don't seem so surprised. Like it or not, I'm going to be the leader of your pack. They trust me and are ready to jump off a cliff at my command."

"You lied to them," Shenzi growled. "What makes you think we won't tell them the truth?"

"For one thing, why would they listen to three pups?" Scar replied. "They'd probably think you were traumatized in seeing the death of your stupid parents."

"I hate to burst your bubble, Scar, but I didn't see my parents die," Shenzi stated. "I didn't even know until you told us."

"Yeah, I didn't let her see it," Banzai said.

"Two," Scar continued, ignoring Banzai and Shenzi, "I'd kill you."

Shenzi, Banzai and Ed silently gulped.

"Now, as I was saying," Scar said. "While we're in the graveyard, some lionesses who want me as king will be moving in."

The trio glanced outside to see a couple lionesses roaming about.

"Why are you telling us everything?" Banzai asked suddenly.

"Since you three know the truth about the alphas, you three will become my closest lackeys," Scar said. "Needless to say I won't be letting you out of my sight except on missions."

The trio gulped as Scar walked out.

"Ed, you don't have to stay if you don't want to," Banzai said sadly to his friend.

"Yeah, since you aren't part of the pack, you can still run away—"

Shenzi was cut off as Ed shook his head rapidly. Ed grabbed their left paws and put them on top of his.

After a brief moment of translation, Banzai nodded in agreement. "Right. Best friends stick together 'till the end."

"Yeah," Shenzi grinned, as did Ed.

Scar gave the command a few minutes later and soon the pack was on the move. The pack moved into the dark, disgusting caves within the graveyard and quickly discovered that the rest of their lives would be a living hell.
