Chapter 9
The fight between the lionesses and the hyenas had started the two sides of enemies collided and the fighting started. Shenzi attacked Nala and pinned her to the ground and was about to slash in the face with one of her claws when she was shoved off by Kiara. Shenzi was then sent skidding into the dirt and knocked into Banzai who was about to take a bite out of lioness just had just pinned down. "Watch where you're going you big oaf" growled Shenzi. "Hey you bumped into me" protested Banzai and Shenzi responded by smacking her companion over the head. While Shenzi and Banzai struggled to get up Ed had ran after Zoony and was trying to take a bit out of him. "Welcome home" screamed Zoony in fear. Suddenly Ed had Zoony cornered by a wall and drew closer toward the little Lazoon. Just as it looked like Zooney would be hyena chow Ed was hit by Venus's ray gun and fell to the floor unconscious. Zoony then ran over to his mistress and jumped into her arms and started crying in panic. "There, there Zoony don't worry every things going to be all right" comforted Venus. "Guess again" said Shenzi who stared at the pair in hate. Venus tried to fire her gun at Shenzi but it was too late the human was pinned to the ground by the hate ridden hyena. Zoony flew out of Venus's arms and landed on the ground with a thump! Zoony got up again and tried to ran over and help Venus up but his leg was in agony. The Lazoon was then knocked head first on the ground by Banzai. "Ok Shenzi I got the cub cornered you take out the mother". Laughed Banzai evilly. Shenzi then turned on Venus "No Steve Zodiac to save you now" she taunted. "Don't you see no one cares about that's what made me turn into me" she said her eyed burning like an inferno. "Please Shenzi you need help" said Venus. "Correction" laughed the evil hyena bringing her face closer to Venus's "You are the one who needs help". She was about to take a bite out of Venus's face when suddenly she was hit by a ray and fell to the ground knocked out and Venus looked up to see Steve Zodiac riding his Jet Mobile towards them.
Steve came up to them on his Jet Mobile and landed Venus ran over to him and through her arms over him. "Oh Steve thank goodness you were here to save me" she said her eyes full of tears. "Don't worry Venus every things going to be ok. I have heard from Nala that most of the hyenas are being easily finished off by her and the lionesses this fight will soon be over". "Actually not quite Zodiac" Banzai's villainous voice cut through the happy moment. Steve and Venus turned to see Banzai with his arm in a lock around Zoony's neck and the little lazoon was gagging for air. "ZOONY" cried Venus. "One move Zodiac and the cub dies" said Banzai evilly. Venus turned to Steve her eyes full of fear. Steve then looked at Zoony struggling to breath. Steve thought for a goon few seconds. "You have five seconds Zodiac" timed Banzai. "WAIT" cried Steve. "Don't hurt him I'll do anything" said Steve. "That's more like it Zodiac" said Banzai who then released Zoony who then fell to the ground and started gasping for air. Without thinking Venus ran towards Zoony. "NO WAIT VENUS IT'S A TRAP" yelled Steve but it was too late as soon as Venus had reached Zoony Banzai had already pounced on top of her and dug his sharp claws into her shoulders. Venus fell to the ground screaming in pain. Steve then fired the built in Ray Gun on his Jet Mobile and struck Banzai down.
Steve then got off it and ran to Venus. "VENUS, VENUS PLEASE GET UP". Venus then turned around and looked at Steve her face deadly pale. "It's no good Steve I'm finished" she said crying. Tears then started to emerge in Steve's eyes then glowered at Banzai. "You low down Space Snake" he said his voice full of hate. Steve was about to lunge at Banzai when Shenzi pinned him from behind. "It's a pity we're on opposite sides Steve Zodiac I could use a guy like you in my clan". "I'll never join you" growled Steve struggling to get up underneath the hyena's pin. "Especially after what you have just done to the one I love the most". "Such a way with words" teased Shenzi as she dug her claws into Steve's back. Steve hissed in pain as the hyena pierced his back further the pain was unbearable.
All hope looked lost until Shenzi was flung off Steve's back and into the dirt Steve looked up to see Matt riding towards him on his Jet Mobile. Steve guessed that Matt had knocked her out with his Ray Gun. Zazu and Simba were close behind. Matt landed beside Steve and helped him up "Hang on Steve you're going to be ok". "Don't worry about me Matt Venus is the one in trouble". While Simba gathered up Shenzi, Banzai and Ed who were all still unconscious Steve and Matt attended to Venus and Zoony who were also unconscious on the floor. "You both need help real bad" said Matt. "Venus can you hear me" asked Steve as he ran his fingers through the long hair the pretty female owned. Venus's face was as pale as ever it was only a matter of time now before she passed away. "Steve if anything happens to me promise me one thing" she said tears running down her cheeks. "Anything" said Steve. "Take care of Zoony for me" "I will do my best". "Thanks Steve" said the earth woman as she slipped away into unconsciousness once again. Matt checked her pulse "She's still alive Steve" he said. "Yeah Matt but for how long" asked Steve. Simba then walked over to the pair and knew immediately what had happened. "You must find Raffiki" he declared "He'll know what to do". "Yeah we'll do that thanks Simba". "Don't mention it I know how it feels to loose a loved one". "But where do we find him" asked Steve as he saddled Venus gently on the back of his jet Mobile. Simba then turned to Zazu who was hovering just above them. "Zazu take Steve to Raffiki's tree house it's urgent. "Yes sire of course" said the hornbill. "I'll stay here and help the lionesses clean up the last hyenas" said Simba. "Thanks" said Steve as he and Matt took off on their Jet Mobiles and followed Zazu towards the tree house where Raffiki lived. "Steve turned back to Venus. "Hang on Venus" he said he only hoped it was not too late…
