Morning on Pride Rock began like any other morning. Mufasa would be the first to awake and survey his territory before getting a drink at the waterhole. Ban'ai always accompanied him and would usually strike up a conversation.

"Looks like it will rain today sah," said Ban'ai.

"Fine by me, I know we need it, I just hope Nala is in a safe place while she is alone," said Mufasa.

"Oh I would not worry about her, she's a tough young princess," said Ban'ai.

"Yes but her sadness for Simba is still around, I hope that when she comes back that Kamau is right for her," said Mufasa.

"Who knows sah, she could even find someone else," said Ban'ai.

"If that happens, let's just hope there is not a fight for her," said Mufasa.

"Ha with Kamau, he's such a wuss he would probably let anyone take her if they wanted to," said Ban'ai.

"Ban'ai that was rude," said Mufasa who sounded very annoyed.

"Sorry sah, but its true, you've seen him. He gets startled by everything," said Ban'ai.

"Including your statement," said a voice behind him.

Ban'ai and Mufasa turned around to see Kamau limping towards them, looking quite upset.

"I thought we were friends Ban'ai," said Kamau.

"We are I just think you need to straighten up and become a tougher lion that's all," said Ban'ai.

"Well I can't be, I wasn't born a prince like Simba was, I was born just to be a member of the pride to help the king in need and as far as I can tell, you both don't give me slack. I can't help it if I was shot and still hurt because of it, I can't help it if I am not as strong as you Mufasa, and I can't help it if I am skittish, that is how I have always been," said Kamau.

Mufasa stared at Kamau, he could tell that the young lion was very upset, he had been very quiet for the past month and Mufasa never knew why.

"I'm sorry Kamau, Ban'ai just doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut," said Mufasa looking angrily at Ban'ai who then looked at the king nervously.

"Well at least he kept his mouth shut for what I am about to tell you now, it was supposed to be a surprise for you but I don't care any more. Nala isn't away by herself, she was told by Rafiki that Simba is really alive and she went to find him and bring him back to you as a surprise. Aren't you happy you don't get to have a wuss for a prince any more," said Kamau who then ran down pride rock and into the savanna where he began to run like they had never seen him run before.

Mufasa looked at Ban'ai angrily who suddenly seemed to feel guilt running through him.

"You better go apologize and try to bring him back or you will be out of a job," said Mufasa.

Ban'ai gasped and started flying. "Yes sah right away sah."

Mufasa then lay at the edge wondering if Kamau's statement was really true.

Kamau went quite a ways from Pride Rock before collapsing in a heap near a small waterhole. He was able to get up once more to let the cool water help his aching shoulder feel better. He knew he had never run like that in a while and his shoulder hurt quite badly because of it. He lay there for a few minutes letting the water cool him down when he saw Ban'ai fly over to him. Kamau tried to get up and run but his shoulder hurt him so bad that he fell back down in pain.

"Leave me alone, I have no right to be near you," said Kamau as Ban'ai arrived.

"Kamau I am so sorry, it's just my nature to say stupid things, I think you're a great guy and would be a wonderful member of the pride," said Ban'ai.

"Oh stop making me feel better, I'm too weak to be part of your pride, I belong somewhere else where the king won't make me feel intimidated," said Kamau.

"But haven't you noticed that some of the lionesses like you?" asked Ban'ai.

"Yeah but just imagine what my cubs would be like if I loved them, they would be as weak as me and maybe just as skittish," said Kamau.

Ban'ai sighed; he knew that there was no way of getting through to the young lion. The poor guy had it rough and there was no way for him to change his ways.

Ban'ai perched in silence next to Kamau as they watched the clouds get darker and some light rain began to fall. Ban'ai was about to walk over to a nearby rock to seek shelter hoping Kamau would follow when he heard a sound behind him.

Kamau jumped up and hid behind a rock to see what it was and saw Scar leading his group of lionesses and hyenas toward Pride Rock. Scar had the look of vengeance and hate on his face

"Oh no, he's gonna kill Mufasa isn't he?" asked Kamau who had actually never seen Scar before.

"Oh dear, we must warn him," said Ban'ai.

"I can't, not fast enough, but you can," said Kamau.

Without a word, Ban'ai then flew off toward Pride Rock to tell Mufasa of the approaching danger. Kamau watched him fly off, unsure of what to do now. Should he leave and find a new life for him somewhere else, or help Mufasa? After thinking about it for a few seconds, he decided to leave. He knew Mufasa would handle it and he knew that he was not in the right condition to fight.

Kamau began to walk away but he did not go far when he saw Nala and another lion walking with her, he knew that it was obviously Simba. He also noticed that a meerkat and a warthog with them. Nala noticed how sad the young lion looked and ran up to him.

"What's wrong Kamau, are you okay?" asked Nala.

"Yeah I'm fine my shoulder just hurts from running, I decided to go find someone so they can help," lied Kamau.

"Help with what?" asked Simba.

"Scar is attacking Pride Rock, Ban'ai and I were walking when we saw him head toward the rock, Ban'ai went to tell Mufasa, I was just about to go find someone and see they can help too," said Kamau.

"Kamau you could have helped, we don't have any allies any way, now the king is going to be killed because you would not stall them while Ban'ai told him they were coming," said Nala obviously mad at Kamau's foolishness.

"I'm sorry," was the only words Kamau could say.

Nala growled at him and then turned to Simba who was telling Timon to behave after he had said a rude remark about Kamau.

"What should we do Simba?" asked Nala.

"Try to get there as fast as possible to help them, I don't want to loss my father right when I return to him," said Simba.

"Then let's go," said Nala who then began to run. Simba followed her. Kamau was hesitant for a moment until Nala gave him the look of anger and he started to run with them, not very fast but enough to catch up to them.

Back at Pride Rock, Mufasa was pacing back and forth, thinking about Kamau when Ban'ai flew in front of him looking out of breath.

"Ban'ai did you talk to him?" asked Mufasa.

"Yes….sah. But….there is another….problem," said Ban'ai who was still trying to rest from his fast flight back to Pride Rock.

"What kind of problem?" asked Mufasa looking worried.

"Scar's coming," said Ban'ai.

Mufasa gasped and turned around to see Scar and about eight lionesses coming toward him. Mufasa growled and waited for them to come closer before he would talk to his evil brother.

A few seconds later, Scar stopped and looked up at Mufasa with anger in his eyes.

"What are you doing here brother?" asked Mufasa.

"You should have killed me when you had the chance years ago because now I want your land so my children can survive their first week," said Scar angrily.

"You want my land so bad, then why don't you take half of it," said Mufasa as he growled under his breath.

"No I want all of it and if you don't leave now, my lionesses will deal with you and your pride," said Scar.

"I have a better idea then. How about me and you, fighting to the death, whoever wins gets to keep the land," said Mufasa.

Scar smiled, now his brother was finally talking sense. "Then so be it, and no one is to leave during the fight, if they do, the hyenas will deal with them first," he said.

"Fine by me, now come up here so we can fight," said Mufasa.

Scar smiled as he then began to walk up pride rock to face his brother to the death while rain began to fall and lightning lit up the sky.

As soon as Mufasa and Scar made a deal about what to do. Ban'ai flew off to tell Kamau what was happening. He found him a few minutes later with Nala and Simba.

"Oh thank goodness you are back, Nala, a fight has begun I think Mufasa may need you," said Ban'ai.

"Don't worry I will handle that," said Simba.

Ban'ai just noticed the young prince for the first time and smiled happily.

"Is that you Simba?" asked Ban'ai.

Simba nodded. "Oh I am so glad you are still alive, but more chit chat later, let's go help your father," said Ban'ai.

Simba then began to run toward Pride Rock with Kamau, Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa right behind him.

Scar roared in pain as Mufasa bit down on his evil brother's shoulder. Scar recovered quickly though and swiped at Mufasa, hitting him hard in the jaw. Mufasa growled as he struck back by hitting Scar in the face as well.

Scar staggered back a little and before Mufasa realized it, Scar attacked and dug his claws into Mufasa back leg. Mufasa roared in pain as he grabbed Scar by the tail and dug his claws deep into his back. Scar winced and was able to swipe at Mufasa's face again.

Mufasa growled and backed away as he stared at his brother in anger. Blood dripping down his face and everywhere else Scar had attacked. Scar was not doing well either. His face was also a bloody mess but he showed no signs of stopping.

"Giving up brother?" asked Scar.

"I will never stop until one of us is dead," said Mufasa.

"Let's hope it's you then," said Scar.

Suddenly Scar lunged and Mufasa did not move in time as Scar grabbed him in his side and dug deep with his claws before he dragged his claws down Mufasa's side. Mufasa gave an agonizing roar of pain that echoed through the entire pride lands.

Simba, Nala, Kamau, Timon and Pumbaa finally arrived close to Pride Rock but could go no farther when they noticed that hyenas seemed to be patrolling the area.

"Hyena's, I hate hyena's," said Timon.

"You and me both, so what's the plan for getting past them?" asked Ban'ai

"Live bait," said Simba simply to the meerkat and cuckoo.

"Good idea…..hey," said Timon before he realized what Simba had planned for him.

"Come on Timon, you guys gotta create a diversion so I can get to my father," said Simba.

"What do you want us to do, dress in drag and do the hula?" asked Timon.

A few seconds later all the hyenas turned around to see a meerkat and a cuckoo dressed in Hawaiian gear while Pumbaa lay nearby with an apple in his mouth, acting quite happy.

"If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy pumbaa here because he is a treat. Come on down and dine, on this tasty swine, all you have to do is get in line," sang Timon.

"I also have a lovely bunch of coconuts that you might like better," said Ban'ai as he held on to five coconuts.

"Wait a minute," said Banzai.

"Yeah hang on there, how can a three ounce bird like you, lift that many coconuts that are about three pounds each?" asked Shenzi.

"Well it is a matter of physics really, it's also the authors imagination," said Ban'ai.

"So you are saying that the author can do whatever he or she wants to a character?" asked Shenzi.

"Yes," said Ban'ai.

"Even making me fatter than I look?" asked Timon who then suddenly swelled up like a balloon.

"So can you lift an elephant if you wanted to?" asked Shenzi.

"Uh yes and then the author would probably give me a hernia," said Ban'ai.

"Wait I don't get it," said Banzai.

So while Ban'ai was trying to explain the laws of cartoon physics to the stupid three, Simba, Nala, and Kamau slipped behind them and ran toward pride rock just when things were really starting to get ugly.

Mufasa was loosing strength fast, all over him he was covered in bite and claw marks and it looked like he was about to give up, but that was not going to happen for he continued to fight.

Mufasa bit down on Scar's neck while Scar kept a good grip on the old king's shoulders. Both were not letting go until Scar finally made the right move and as hard as he could, he jumped up and slammed Mufasa as hard as he could against a rock. Mufasa went down like a rag doll.

Scar walked over to the injured king and stared down at him. Mufasa looked up at his brother weakly, he tried to rise once but Scar had got him good.

"Looks like I win," said Scar who was about to deliver the final blow when he heard a heavy roar and looked up to find a male lion staring angrily down at him.

At first everyone thought it was Kamau but then they noticed that this lion's main was lighter and he looked tougher than the skittish lion.

"Who are you, what do you want?" asked Scar backing away nervously.

Simba didn't respond, instead he walked over to his father and nudged him, hoping he would respond. Mufasa opened his eyes and looked up at Simba.

"Kamau is that you?" he asked weakly.

"No it's your son, Simba," said Simba.

"Simba, you're alive, but I thought you drowned," said Mufasa.

"No I survived, but I will explain later," said Simba who then looked at Scar angrily.

Scar stared at his nephew, not believing his eyes. "Well I'm a little surprised to see you, now get out of the way so I can finish off your father or fight me to the death," he said.

"I'm not moving until you are dead. For the first part of my life you wanted to kill me. You thought you did, now I am back to avenge what you have done to the pride," said Simba.

Scar just smiled. "Okay you can kill me, but only if you get past my hyenas first," he said.

Simba gave one quick puzzled look when he suddenly felt a sharp pain bite him in the back. He turned around to find twenty hyenas (who had not been left in confusion with Timon, Pumbaa, and Ban'ai) closing in on him.

Simba swiped at them with his claws although some backed away and a few started biting him left and right. That's when the lionesses of the pride decided to help and came and attacked.

The lionesses from Scar's pride noticed a bigger fight was breaking out so they all began running up the rock to help the hyenas fight the pride landers.

Even though Simba was being helped by a few lionesses who weren't occupied now by the outlanders, he was still having trouble. More hyenas would come left and right and did not have enough time to stop one hyena from biting him in the neck.

Simba roared in pain and tried to shake the hyena off but the hyena stayed tight until a large paw swiped at it. The hyena went flying and then hit a rock where he never moved again.

Simba turned around to see who had helped him and was surprised to find that it was Kamau.

"Thanks," said Simba.

"No problem, now stop Scar, I will keep those who want to kill Mufasa away from him," said Kamau.

"But where is Scar?" asked Simba.

The two looked around until they finally found him in a place they did not want to see him. He was next to Mufasa ready to strike and deliver the fatal blow. Simba roared and ran toward him.

Scar looked up when he heard the roar and saw Simba who had anger in his eyes. Scar knew he had to get away and started running up Pride Rock. Simba followed.

Scar then realized that he made a fatal mistake when he found himself trapped at the top and no where else to go. He turned around to find Simba walking slowly toward him.

"Give up yet?" asked Simba.

"I will never give up," growled Scar as lightning flashed to reveal the look of determination in his eyes.

"Then I will never give up either," said Simba.

Scar sad nothing and without warning attacked Simba. Simba did not see it coming as Scar swiped Simba across the face with his claws. Simba roared in pain and fought back as he swiped the evil lion across the shoulder.

Soon both were in the same fight that was just like Mufasa's earlier. Scars old wounds opened up once again as Simba swiped at him while Simba received new battle wounds from his evil uncle. As the two fought, lighting flashed around them, and rain began to fall, but lightly.

Finally the two stood there panting and staring at each other angrily.

"It looks like you will suffer the same fate as your father," said Scar who looked like he would fall and die any minute.

Simba just growled, he did not look as bad as his uncle but knew he had to figure out a way to end Scar's life soon.

Scar then roared in rage and lifted his paw to strike Simba when a flash of lighting came down and struck Scar. Scar gave an agonizing cry of pain while Simba jumped back to avoid an electric shock like Scar had received.

When the lighting disappeared, Simba gasped in horror as he saw Scar standing there with burned fur, a few still had small flames of fire on him. But Scar still would not give up and tried to walk over to Simba, but instead he fell back. He tried to hold his balance but couldn't and a few seconds later, he disappeared over the edge.

Simba ran over to see where Scar went. He soon noticed that his uncle was slowly disappearing from view as he fell down pride rock.

The life of the evil uncle was finally over.
