Scar slowly walked back through the outlands. He was quite angry now that he could no longer roam the pridelands with his idiot brother around. Even though he failed twice in killing both Mufasa and Simba, he would still try again, but he had to think of how.
"Hey boss," said a voice that was made by no other than Banzai. Scar knew that Shenzi and Ed were not far behind.
Scar grumbled under his breath. "Yes Banzai," he said.
"We just wanted to know how your meeting with Mufasa went," said Shenzi.
Ed just went into laughter as if he was trying to say something. Banzai just hit him on the head.
"Oh I was just banished from the pridelands for trying to kill Simba," said Scar who then jumped on a nearby rock and lay down on it.
"How did they find out about that?" asked Banzai.
"That hairball ratted me out and of course Mufasa believed him," said Scar.
"They actually believed the runt? Did you try to persuade to them that it was not your fault, but of course it is?" asked Shenzi.
"Of course I tried but Mufasa said that I was calling his son a liar," said Scar.
"Man this stinks, now you won't be able to catch us any food and we will all starve," said Shenzi who then began to pout.
Ed quickly responded with her followed by Banzai. They were so loud that they echoed through the rocks and caused some of them to shake.
"SILENCE!" Roared Scar.
The trio shut up and looked at their leader with puppy dog eyes and pretended nothing happened.
"Don't worry, I will think of a plan to destroy them both and then you will get all the land you want," said Scar.
"And all the zebras, and antelope," said Banzai licking his lips.
"And wildebeests and warthogs, and our own water hole," said Shenzi.
Ed laughed while Shenzi and Banzai wagged their tails at his remark, whatever it was.
"So what do you think you can do to them this time?" asked Shenzi.
"Oh I don't know yet, seeing as how I cannot roam the pridelands looking for an idea, I guess it will just have to come to me," said Scar.
"Yeah we would try to kill the kid for you boss but you know how that stooge tells everyone what's going on in the pridelands," said Banzai.
Scar then looked at them with a sneer in his face. It would be nice if the trio could go into the pridelands without being seen, but they would have to kill Zazu first. That bird was never close enough to the outlands though to even catch him off guard, they would have to think of something.
"Well I think you all should think about what we should do and I want an idea in a week's time. If you don't have anything then I will do away with you three and find better hyenas for the job," said Scar.
"Yes sir, you can count on us," said Banzai.
"We will not let you down," said Shenzi.
Ed laughed causing the other two to look at him angrily. Ed realized his fault and shut up.
"Now get out of my sight, I need to be alone for a while," said Scar.
The trio nodded and quickly ran off into the rocky outcroppings. They knew if they stayed longer then Scar would be quite angry in a few minutes.
Scar watched them go and then looked around at the horrible place he would have to call home for a while. It was definitely not like the pridelands. Sure he usually stayed in the outlands when discussing things with hyenas, but now he would have to be in there until the moment was right. He hoped it would come in a week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week later, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were at their wits end. They had not thought up any ideas of how to get rid of Simba or Mufasa. It was mostly because they had been busy trying to hunt, now that their boss could no longer hang out in the pridelands.
"Man Scar is going to kill us if we don't think of a plan soon," said Banzai.
"Yeah, stupid Mufasa for banishing his own brother," said Shenzi.
Suddenly Banzai's ears shot up. "I got it, what if we somehow sneak in and throw Mufasa off pride rock," he said.
"That would be a good idea but remember, that stooge will probably see us," said Shenzi.
"What if one of us distracts him?" asked Banzai.
"Then he would be yelling that we are out here and then that plan would be ruined because Mufasa would then come to his aid, so we can't push him off pride rock," said Shenzi.
The three were all silent for a moment, wondering what to do when they suddenly heard a voice coming from behind a termite mound.
"So you want to get rid of someone aye," said the voice.
"Hey who said that?" asked Banzai.
"I did," said the voice but this time they could see his shadowy figure as he slowly approached them.
"Who are you or what are you I might add," said Shenzi.
"They call me Slasher, I'm a black backed Jackal," said the creature.
Slasher then revealed himself in the light; he was quite a horrific sight. One ear was gone and the other was only half there. There were scars all over his muzzle including one long jagged one that started from the bottom of his eye and ended at the tip of his nose. His fur was quite mangy and there were more scars criss crossing his body. He must have been through some tough times.
"So I overheard you want to get rid of someone," he said in a sinister voice.
"Yeah, you ever heard of Mufasa?" asked Shenzi.
"Yeah I know him, I often scavenge his food when he's done," said Slasher.
"Well his brother, whose name is Scar wants to rule the kingdom himself but as you know only one king can rule a kingdom, so right now, he's been trying to kill his brother and his son. Last week though he was banished because Mufasa found out about his plan. And now because of this we have no idea how to dethrone him," said Banzai.
Slasher just smirked at them, he knew what that was like, for he used to kill other jackals because they were either in the way or he just hated them.
"Perhaps I can be of service to you after all, Jackals are allowed to roam the pride lands," said Slasher.
The trio looked at each other, Slasher seemed to be the hope they were looking for, so it could work.
"Well you got yourself a deal, follow us and we will take you to Scar," said Shenzi.
Slasher just smiled and followed them to Scars home he had been living in for a week.
Scar had found a nice cave to spend his nights in and nothing really ever bothered him, save for a hyena but that was all. At the moment he was busy feasting on a young antelope that had some how wandered away from its mother and ended up in the outlands. Scar felt it was his special day for finding food, now he only hoped nincompoop minions had a plan.
Scar was now chewing on the bones when he heard a familiar call.
"Hey Boss," it was of course Banzai.
Scar growled at them. "You may only come in if you have a plan," he said.
"Oh we have a plan, a very good one I might add," said Shenzi.
"Come in then," said Scar.
The trio led the evil jackal into Scar's cave where they found him sitting there waiting for them.
"Boss this is Slasher, he says he can help us," said Banzai.
Scar jumped up and then walked around the jackal obviously sizing him out. He sneered at Slasher a few times before finally making his decision.
"So you think you can kill a cub for me?" asked Scar.
"Most definitely sir, but for this offer I must have something in return," said Slasher.
"Oh I'll just give you my next meal, how about that?" asked Scar who obviously decided that if this jackal wanted something in return he would kill the jackal when he returned from his success.
"That would be fine, now what does the child look like?" asked Slasher.
"Golden brown color, a little bit of black on the ears, usually plays with a female of his pride so he won't be hard to spot," said Scar.
"Then I will find him for you and kill him on the spot, but what about the leader of the pride?" asked Slasher.
"Oh we'll worry about him later, just as long as one is down and there will only be one more to go," said Scar.
"I see, well I better head out, and I will not return until I have killed him," said Slasher.
"Good," said Scar.
Slasher was about to leave when Scar called him back.
"Oh and Slasher one more thing, I want to you to kill the bird before you kill the child," said Scar.
"Will do," said Slasher who then raced off. Slasher knew about Zazu, he had once pecked at him for stalking him, this time he wouldn't miss.
