Author's Note: This is my third and final part on my story and due to a lot of editing and changes in the story, this part might be the longest on of the three (Again, I'm not telling you how many chapters, sorry) with new twist and surprises.

I do not own the Lion King but all the other characters that aren't related to movie are all mine.

Also, if there's any confusion you have in this story, you might want to read the first part of this three part story. (Life is Never Easy: The Search of Pride Rock)

Enjoy!

Chapter One: A Dream and A Outsider

"Boy this looks familiar" Shenzi said her voice echoed

She found herself in the middle of nowhere and it was pitch black. She took a few steps forward and look around. Nothing.

"Hello? Banzai? Ed? Anyone here" she called out. She heard nothing but her voice.

"Didn't I have this dream before" She said to herself.

The last time she had this dream was when she was a little, of course she was out cold due to something hitting her on her head. But she woke up and met Ed for the first time.

Suddenly she felt something thick and warm running down her neck.

"What the?" she placed her paw in the back of her neck to see what it was. She lost her voice when she look at her paw. Blood, there was blood running down her neck. She grasped and quickly back away to see where the blood was coming form. She bumped in to something behind her and she quickly turned around.

Her eyes widen when she saw Shentana staring at her, her body was cut all over and covered in fresh blood.

"Mother?" Shenzi said trembling. She can still feel blood running down her neck and falling to the floor.

Shentana took a step closer to her daughter "He's coming"

Shenzi looked at her "who's coming"

"Someone from the past" she said "a threat is coming"

"Threat? What do you mean threat" Shenzi asked

Shentana said nothing and started to walk away. "Wait mom, don't leave me again!"

Shenzi ran after her and stopped when she saw a large paw coming out of nowhere and grabbed Shentana.

"Take care" Shentana said before she was pulled away.

"MOM!"

Shenzi woke up screaming causing Banzai and Ed to wake up. Shenzi sat up and tried to calm down her breathing. She placed her paw on the back of her neck then looked at it. No blood.

"Shenzi are you all right" Banzai said

Shenzi looked at him and weakly smiled "I'm fine, it was just another dream, that's all"

Ed whined "Ed right, this is the fourth time you woken up like this" Banzai said

"I said I'm fine, now lets go back to sleep" Shenzi said putting her head on the floor and closing her eyes

Banzai and Ed looked at each other with a worried face expression but went back to sleep as well.

The Next Day

"Now stay out of trouble for one hour while I take my nap" Shenzi said due to the nightmares shelost a lot of sleep.

Banzai sigh "we're not pups anymore Shenzi"

"Yeah but you and Ed still act like one" she said as she walked in to the tall grass "now don't bother me"

"And what are we supposed to do" Banzai asked

"I don't know, do what ever males do" Shenzi said "Now leave me be"

Banzai shook his head and stared out in to the pride lands. Its been two weeks since Scar took over as King and things been normal. Well not everything, Shenzi been having a hard time sleeping, waking up screaming for a nightmare which she still won't tell her best friends what is was. Zacuru is still bothering her and kept calling her "his little wife-to-be". He growled then sigh in boredom then looked over at Ed.

"Hey Ed, do you want to get something to eat" he asked he got no reposed "Ed, are you listening"

He looked behind him to see Ed leaning on a rock and look out at something. Banzai looked and saw the three, name-unknown females know as Info, Gossip and Secret. Banzai literally could see hearts flying around his friend's head as he watched the sweet little Secret.

"Honestly Ed, I don't what you see in her" he said

Ed just sigh and smiled.

(He in love with this female) Banzai thought

Once he thought about it, Secret wasn't that bad of a hyena, she was nice and was voted the cutest female of the clan.

(Ha, she has the cuteness but Shenzi has the beauty) he thought

Banzai walked over to Ed and do what any friend would do. He grabbed Ed by ear and walked over to where the females were.

Ed grunted and tried to pull away. "Its time for you to, in one way, to talk to her" he said

Ed pulled free form Banzai grip and rubbed his ear and gave him a "are-you-kidding" look.

"I know, I know you can't talk BUT I'm tried of youdrooling over this female that I know you had a crush on ever since we moved here and not doing anything." Banzai said

Ed just looked at him with a sad, pity face then was confused, how come he was telling him advice when he having trouble telling Shenzi how he feels.

"You can do this, I know you can. Just go up to her and wave, do something to grab her attention" he said then noticed Ed just completely froze.

"Talking to yourself again Banzai" Info said

Banzai turned around to see Info, Gossip and Secret looking at them.

"No I was talking to Ed" he said

"It's the same thing" Gossip said and she and Info begin to laugh

Secret gave them a look then turned to Banzai and Ed "we're going to get something to eat, care to join us"

Banzai and Ed were surprised form her question "um..well, we're waiting for Shenzi to wake up form her nap"

"Please" She said with a sweet smiled

Ed gave Banzai a "please" look "fine, we have nothing else to do" he said

"Great there a zebra herd near by" she said then was pulled away by her friends.

"What are you doing" Info whispered

"What? I just helping you guys out since you always want other hyenas to get catch your food" she said

"That's why we go get Zacuru for this" Gossip said

"But Zacuru is helping Shenzen right now since he is recovering from seeing his mother dead" Secret said "and beside weren't we hired to spy on Shenzi"

"She has a point Info" Gossip said

"Yes but Shenzi is sleeping and I refuse to hang out with her moron friends" Info said

"Its not going to kill you" Secret said

"Beside Info you know as well as I know why she wants them to come along" Gossip said

"Hey will you three yakking and hurry up the herd is leaving" they heard Banzai shouting and turned around to see him and Ed leaving.

"Ok for you since you are our best friend, we'll be nice" Info said

Secret smiled and walked aheadof her friends while Info and Gossip chat.

"This is not just some normal crush Info and you and I know she can do better then that" Gossip whispered

"Anyone better then the idiot but she likes those quiet types" Info whispered back

"I think we need to find her another male for her to have a crush on" Gossip said

"Maybe, we just have to take this one day at a time"

"Shenzen, you need to snap out of this and eat something" Zacuru said pushing a piece a meat towards Shenzen but he didn't move.

Zacuru shook his head, this was the first time Shenzen sunk hard in to depression, he hasn't eat, sleep or talk that much for the last two weeks. He was thin and had dark circle in under his eyes.

"Balean is very worry about you, you know that right" Zacuru said

Shenzen shook his head "she doesn't need me, look at me , I lost my whole family now"

"That's the depression talking not you, because you still have me around, Balean loves you now matter what and my mom has always been a second mom to you"

Shenzen tried to smiled "and you still have your sister and your somewhat 'step-brothers'" he said

Shenzen just sat there, thinking about something. This caught Zacuru by surprised.

"Well!"

"Well what" Shenzen asked

"No smart remark, no their not my step-brothers or now your just making worst by mentioning my sister that I hate my whole life." Zacuru said

Shenzen looked him then realize he had a point "I'm taking a nap" he said walking over to the tall grass.

"Good you need one, you haven't slept in days" Zacuru said following him.

They entered the tall grass "you don't have to follow me"

"I'm just making sure you do fall asleep and not just lying there moping" Zacuru said

"Do you hear something" Shenzen said

They looked around the tall grass and spotted another hyenas sleeping just a few feet away. They slowly walked over there and pulled the tall a side to see Shenzi sleeping but not well. She was moaning and mumbling the words momma.

"She having a nightmare" Zacuru said

"Banzai been telling me about this for the last week" Shenzen said

(Banzai? Since when does he call him Banzai) Zacuru thought "you go take a nap and I'll wake her up"

Shenzen just backed away a bit as Zacuru tapped Shenzi on the head "Shenzi, Shenzi wake up"

Shenzi growled in her sleep and kick Zacuru in the stomach. "Dammit Banzai, I told you not to bother me when I'm trying to sleep!" she holler as she sat up and open her eyes.

"Glad you awake" Zacuru coughed as he clutched his stomach.

"Oh, its only you" she said then turned to her brother "it look like you need some sleep as well"

Shenzen just stared at her and walked off "see you later sis"

(Sis?) Shenzi thought as she got up "I wondered where Banzai and Ed are"

Shenzi walked past Zacuru not caring what she did to him and out of the tall grass.

Zacuru chuckled "still playing hard to get, God I love that female"

Shenzi yawned as she walked through the plains field. She gotten some sleep but had another nightmare about a threat that was coming.

(What is my mother trying to tell me?) She wondered.

She looked around the pride lands, the whole clan was enjoying their freedom from the graveyard. Although it was nice to be back in the pride lands again but she still calls the old elephant skull her home. "Where the heck can they be" she said to herself

"Their up to something Ed, I can feel it" Banzai whispered to Ed

The five hyenas ate in silence and ate a few feet away from each other. Yet wasn't paying an attention to him again. Banzai sigh then noticed the large deep scars on Gossip's back.

"What happen to your back Gossip" Banzai asked

The female trio nearly choked on their food "That's none of your business, you don't see us getting in to your business" Gossip said

"Uh, yes you do" Banzai said

Gossip started to growled causing Info to rolled her eyes. Secret moved over to the guys and whispered "its best not to mention those scars or she going to be in a bad mood all day"

"I'm not growling about that stupid" Gossip said "someone here, and its not from our clan"

"An outsider, its bad enough we have two of them here" Info said

Banzai gave her a cold stare as they got up form their spot to see where the outsiders was.

"My guest its hiding in the tall grass" Banzai said

"Should we get Nuacka" Secret asked

"No, she barely walk let alone fight due to recovering from her injuries" Info said

"Lets split up, we'll cover more ground" Gossip said

"And what do we do when we find him or her" Banzai asked

"Duh, the outsider will be chased away or killed, it part of the clan's rules, we spared your lives because you were pups and with Shenzi" Info said

"You just can't kill him or her" Banzai said but was ignored as the female went their separate ways to find the outsider. (Why is everyone ignoring me today) he thought

"It is the rules" Secret said walking off.

Ed looked at Banzai wondering what should they do. "Go with her" Banzai said pushing Ed in the direction where Secret was going but Ed was trying to stop him.

"Don't be shy, now go with her and help her find the outsider before the others do" Banzai explained. He didn't want them to kill the outsider since he and Ed were one in this clan.

"Aren't you guys gonna help us look for the outsider" Secret shouted

"Yeah but I need to find Shenzi real quick but Ed is happy to help" Banzai said pushing him to move.

Secret waited for Ed "I'll be back, I'm just going to get Shenzi, ok" Banzai said to Ed.

Ed nodded and started walking over to the female he had a crush on for what it seem like forever. Banzai shook his head on how hard it was to get your friend to walk but he ran off to find Shenzi, maybe she can do something about this...
