DarkEcoOttsel: Thanks a bunch to those who reviewed...but I wanna know why the guy, Fat Jack, flamed me when he probably didn't even read the fic. I'm sorry, but that's just plain rude. When I get the chance, I'm gonna delete it. You can keep on flaming me, but they'll all get happily deleted by me while I laugh insanely. This message was for Fat Jack and any other flamers out there. Thank you for your time.

Oh, this chapter is sorta my version of what really happened. Read on to find out why. On with the fic!!

Untainted Souls

Chapter Eight

A few minutes later, the trio came sprinting out of a cave, yelping.

"Dammit!" Shenzi growled as they slowed down. "Scar didn't tell us Mufasa would be around to save the brats!"

"Maybe he didn't know," Banzai muttered, rubbing his head. "Oww...curse him."

"Man, we're gonna be sore tomorrow," Shenzi said, ignoring the three stinging claw marks across her cheek.

Ed whined as he licked at a wound on his paw.

"We're gonna get even sorer when Scar finds out we didn't kill 'em," Banzai added.

"You're right."

The trio froze and slowly turned around to see a very ticked off Scar.

"Uhh...hiya, Scar," Banzai gulped and ducked as Scar swung a paw at him.

The hyenas scrambled back and huddled together.

"You morons!" Scar roared angrily. "How could you screw up a mission as easy as this?!"

"W-well, we didn't know Mufasa would be there to save the cub's scrawny asses," Shenzi glared at him.

"Yeah," Banzai said, backing her up. "I mean, what are we supposed to do? Kill Mufasa?"

"Why didn't you kill him back there?" Scar snarled. "You know as well as I do you could have killed him!"

"Um, well—"

"I don't wanna hear any of your excuses!" Scar snapped. "Any more screw ups and I won't take them as lightly. Get back to the caves! I need to think of another plan."

They wasted no time in scrambling back to the caves where they waited for Scar. He eventually showed up and told them his new plan. Now they had another thing to worry about screwing up.

"Great," Banzai muttered as he sat down in a corner of the cave. "We have to sneak into the Pride Lands—again—and start a stupid stampede."

"Another suicide mission," Shenzi sat down beside him. "When are we actually gonna take over the Pride Lands?"

"Well, if everything goes right and we pull off the mission tomorrow, it should be pretty soon," Banzai said.

"So...why don't we seem happy that we're gonna be living like kings?" Shenzi said slowly.

"Maybe 'cause we're gonna kill innocent animals and then take their land," Banzai muttered. "We're turning into Scar."

"Feh," Shenzi snorted. "All we need is to grow a mane and slash ourselves in the eye."

The trio snickered. A few more minutes later they were asleep, dreaming of the good old days. The days that would never return.
