Author's note: Ok, if you haven't read my profile yet, I'll tell you now, I am planning on doing a part four of my series. Yes you heard me a Part Four. I'm not telling you the plot yet because I want that to be a surprised but I do have the title in my profile.

I'll tell you this though, the story will take place after the Lion King movie and it might be just as long as the third part.

Also, I do have to say this is probably the shortest chapter I ever wrote. Thanks for the reviews. I feel so loved (sobbing)

Just kidding, here the next chapter . . . enjoy.

Chapter Eighteen: Nuacka's End: The Fatal Wound

Flashback

"Nuacka?" Shentana called inside the cave.

Nuacka has just given birth and Shentana wanted to know if she was okay and to see what gender was her new pup. Not to mention another question that's been bugging her.

"Nuacka, can I come in?" she asked

She looked inside the cave to see her friend lying down away from the entrance. She could hear a small whining sound of a new born pup.

"It's a boy" Nuacka said quietly

She was too depressed to celebrate the birth of her first pup since the one she loved was taken away from her three months ago.

She heard Shentana walking in so she turned around to look at her. Her belly was big and swollen with a pup herself. Nuacka grew so bittered that she could actually taste it in her mouth. The taste was so bad, that you couldn't wash it out with water.

"A boy, I'm happy for you, I hope I have a boy too" Shentana said smiling

"Its too bad though since the leader of the clan can only have females" Nuacka said

Shentana sigh "yeah but one could dream"

Nuacka bit her tongue hard to keep her from growling or beat the other hyena so bad that she'll lose the pup.

"So what are you going to name him" she asked

Nuacka looked down at the small little thing. He was curled up in a tiny ball, soundly asleep while leaning against her belly. She smiled since he looked some much like his father and now doubt would be just as strong as he was too.

Shentana lean over to get a better look at the pup "he's so cute, so what his name" she asked again

"Hmm . . . I think I'll call him Zacuru" she said

"Zacuru, that's sound like Curu" Shentana said

"Well, he uses to be my only friend when I was little" she lied "so I thought I'll name him after Curu"

Shentana smiled weakly "I'm sorry again about Curu" she said

"No, it's ok" she lied again "like you said you didn't know why he attacked you"

"I guess we'll never know" she said "but Zacuru is a nice name, but I like to ask you something"

"What" she said getting annoyed by her since she was so tired from getting birth.

"Who's the father?"

Nuacka chuckled as she finished her story "your mother was so stupid and gullible she'll believe anything that comes out of my mouth" she said "I told her the father was one of the hyenas who left the clan a week before your father took Zacuru's life"

Shenzi stood there stunned as Nuacka chuckled more and more "and she bought it" she said grinning "Just another reason why she deserved such an awful painful bloody death"

Shenzi said nothing, she remembered her mother always telling her 'don't let your anger get the best of you, the rage will blind you and make your fighting sloppy' but . . . "you . . . little . . . bitch"

Next thing Nuacka knew, she was rammed right in the stomach and she flew a few feet before crashing into bones. Dust flew in the care and she started to cough while Shenzi approached her.

Shenzi leaned over and placed her paw on Nuacka's scars she had on her right eye. It was a perfect match "so, it was my mother who left you those scars, even before her death she still found a way to piss you off"

Nuacka growled and pushed her away from her so she could get up. "She always the reason for my pain, but these scars were nothing but blood"

"So what really hurts then Nuacka, the fact that my mother permanently scarred you or was it the fact that Curu, the great male alpha, get killed by a "weak" outsider Lackey" she said

Nuacka growled "I would stop talking if I were you"

"Or is it the fact that, when you look at me or my brother, all you can see is my father"

Nuacka continued to growl, knowing what Shenzi was doing, trying to break her down by the bad memories. She closed her eyes and tried to block out her voice.

"Or maybe it was the fact that you were wrong about Lackeys being weak and how in time they seem to come back to hunt you every day of your life." Shenzi said "ever since I was young you always mistreated them badly just because they were lackeys, you always told them they were weak just because they were Lackeys. You always told everybody they would never fit in or be the cause of all our troubles . . . "

"Shut UP!" she hollered

"...just because they were lackeys yet the only reason for this was because you didn't want another lackey to ruin your's or Zacuru's plan to be the top leader of the clan" she said "Am I right!"

Nuacka's eyes opened revealing that they turned pearl white with no pupils. Shenzi was too stunned to the look to react when Nuacka swatted her across the face. Shenzi fell to the ground and felt something warm running down her cheek.

"Why do you think Itaught Shentana in to giving you away to Zacuru? I bit my lip hard for that one because I despised your bloodline. Curse to be second best to the leader every single generation. But Zacuru still had a chance to be a leader if he married the Matriarch's daughter" She grinned then growled and kicked Shenzi in the stomach "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!"

Shenzi struggled to get up, seeing drops of blood landing on the dirt. "But the plan didn't work huh" Shenzi asked

"No, because the future leader had to be stubborn and refuse to do things the easy way. She had to fall in love with another hyena and destroyed the natural balance of this clan" She said "just like your mother, she NEVER wanted to do things the easy way, if she would had died this would never happen, but NO she had to do it the hard way and LIVE"

Shenzi knew Nuacka lost it, BIG TIME, but she had the advantaged with the age difference and the other thing "you sound like your want to kill me" Shenzi said "which you can't because without me the clan won't have a leader and Zacuru won't have his wife"

"Shenzi, if all your bloodlines are dead then I'll be the next one to rule the clan. Zacuru can always find another alpha to marry and soon your bloodline will be forgotten" she said "all that is left is you and your stupid weak brother"

"Sorry Nuacka but one of us isn't going to make it out here alive" Shenzi said

Nuacka grinned "You can't even kill a cub, let alone me"

"We'll see about that" Shenzi growled

Shenzi tackled Nuacka to the ground and they started to fight. Shenzi didn't expected Nuacka to be so strong due to her age but she guesses that the rage in Nuacka's blood gave her that boost.

"Weak" Nuacka shouted as she slammed Shenzi to the floor "you must've gotten it from your father's side.

She bit Shenzi hard around her shoulder blade and tried to tear up some flesh. Shenzi screamed in pain and fell backwards causing Nuacka to hit the floor. Her teeth sank deeper into Shenzi's flesh but let go when Shenzi hit her in the stomach. Shenzi stood up with blood pouring out of her shoulder.

Nuacka laughed and licked her bloodstained mouth. "Is that the best you can do?" she said

Shenzi didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt emptied, hurt and angry to concentrate on Nuacka's moves.

"I know every one of Shentana's moves and I know that she taught you them so I know what to do every time you try to attack me"

Shenzi attacked again but was grabbed by the back of her neck and swung toward the giant Skull. Shenzi stopped herself from hitting the thing that was her home ever since she was a young hyena. Suddenly she was rammed in her side and she crashed right thought the walls of the skull.

Dust, dirt and bone particles fall down on top of her. She struggled to her up when she was rammed again and crashed into the other side of the skull. She fell hard to the ground, feeling some of the bones pieces piercing through her skin.

Shenzi coughed and laid there for a minute. She opened one of her eyes to look at the Skull. The skull started to shake then it collapsed all together. Dust stings her eyes and wounds on her bodies and held back her tears.

Nuacka slowly walked over to Shenzi and shook her head "I guess not all your dreams will come true" she said

Shenzi opened her eyes wide when Nuacka said that "I, too, had those dreams Shenzi, saying how history will repeat itself for me before I died and saying that your end will come in a river of fire"

Shenzi tried to get up "None of my dreams came true" she said but Nuacka pushed her down.

"Really, you actually believed that" Nuacka growled "tell me then, what did your dreams tell you?"

"A threat from the past" Shenzi said weakly

"Todei came to the clan who knows Banzai from the past" Nuacka explains "thanks to him, Banzai is dead"

"You will lose those you love and it will be all your fault" Shenzi said

"If you didn't fell in love with that lackey then they all wouldn't have suffered a miserable death"

"No" Shenzi whispered

"If you went with your mother that one day, she would still be alive" Nuacka laughed

"NO!"

"See it is all your fault, all your fault you stupid girl, but the last dream won't come true because I'm the one that will end your life" Nuacka grinned as she raised her paw to strike her again.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Shenzi screamed and swatted Nuacka in the eye.

Ironically it was the same place where Shentana struck Nuacka nearly a year ago. Nuacka screamed as her scars were reopened and blood sprayed out of her eye.

"You will not insult my family's bloodline ever again!" Shenzi growled

They fought again, but Nuacka was the one getting all the blows. Blood, fur and dirt flew into the air as Nuacka tried to defend herself.

Nuacka growled and pushed Shenzi away. Shenzi fell to the ground and was badly injured.

"Die you little bitch" Nuacka shouted as she charged toward Shenzi for the finale blow.

Shenzi quickly sat up and in one quick move she grabbed Nuacka by the neck. Her teeth break though the skin and with all her might she threw Nuacka into a pile of bones. She heard Nuacka screaming in pain as dust covered the place she landed in then all went quiet.

Shenzi collapsed to the floor from her wounds and tried to calm down her breathing. She started to shake when Nuacka crawled out from the pile of bones with a pale face.

She noticed that Nuacka's eyes were back to normal but was shocked from what she saw. Nuacka looked down and looked at the one inch bone popping out from her chest. When she landed on the pile of bones, a bone stabbed her in the back and out of her chest. Blood poured out of her wound and soaked into her dirty fur.

Instead of growling or cursing, Nuacka chuckled and looked at Shenzi with calm eyes "my, how history can repeat itself" she said with blood pouring out of her mouth.

She made a gurgling sound then fell to the floor, dying with her eyes wide open.

Shenzi moaned in pain as she tried to get up off the dirt. She felt like she was about to vomit from all that's been happening. She looked at Nuacka that was now surrounded by a pool of blood and she felt the vomit coming up.

(I got to get out of here) She thought (I can't let Zacuru and anyone else see me like this)

If Zacuru saw her in her position, she didn't want to think of the dirty tricks that male would think of. She begins to crawl a couple of feet before she was able to get back onto her feet.

(I got to get away) she kept repeating in her head.

She felt dizzy as she started walking out of her graveyard and soon into the desert. Without a clue what to do next . . .
