Warrior's Graveyard pt 2

"And quite by accident," said Zazu, nervously, nudging Simba and Nala as he did, "I can assure you."

"Hey," said Shenzi, she was quite taller than Zazu, grabbing his shoulder, "Now I know where I've seen you, you're Mufasa's little stooge."

"I, madam, am King Mufasa's major-domo," Zazu replied in disgust as he pulled himself from Shenzi's vile hands.

The cannibal's walked over to Simba and Nala with hungry looks in their crazy, little eyes, "And that must make you," said Banzai, addressing Simba.

"The future king," Simba said bravely (he obviously had never met cannibals before).

"Do you know what happened to the last king who strayed too far from his kingdom," said Banzai, "Tell them Ed."

Ed just stood there looking blankly ahead, "It's going to take a while for the question to sink in," said Shenzi, "Hold on."

That was when Ed opened his mouth and pointed down his throat, "That's right," said Banzai.

"You don't scare me," said Simba, "You can't do anything to us."

"No," said Zazu, "Actually they really can, we are on their land. Oh my goodness look at the time, it's time to leave."

"Come on," said Shenzi, "We'd love for you to stay for dinner."

"Yeah," said Banzai, "Our dinners are…fit for kings."

The three broke out into laughter (it of course took Ed a few seconds), "No," said Shenzi, "I've got, I've got one: make mine an Emperor Burger, what do you think?"

Banzai and Shenzi broke out in laughter, but Ed started jumping up and down,

"Ed," said Shenzi, "Get out of the way, we're on a role here."

"Hey," said Banzai, "Did we order dinner to-go."

"Dinner? Go? What?" asked Shenzi.

But she saw soon enough that Simba, Nala and Zazu had dashed off deeper into the Graveyard (this was stupid, but it is of course difficult to think in a crisis situation) and Shenzi, Banzai and Ed chased after them.

The Graveyard is enormous (according to history, about a thousand battles had taken place here), so enormous in fact, that you could not tell one direction from another. Simba and Nala had run quite some distance be fore they came to a small clearing in the bodies, "Did we lose them?" asked Nala.

"I think so," said Simba, "Where's Zazu?"

Shenzi, Banzai and Ed had grabbed Zazu and had shoved him into a large a cannon, "You want to get out?" said Shenzi, "You're going to get out, bye-bye."

They fired the cannon and sent Zazu rocketing for the heavens, "Where'd you get the cannon?" Shenzi asked Banzai.

"Don't ask," was the reply.

"Hey," they heard someone shout, "Pick on someone your own size."

It was Simba and Nala, they had followed the sounds of the cannon, "Like you?" said Shenzi.

"Crap," said Simba and he and Nala took off at full speed, the cannibals close on their heels.

They had run some distance when they came to a dead end, Simba and Nala turned around and saw the three cannibals closing in on them, Simba picked up a few stones and threw them at the cannibals (missing them), "That was cute," said Shenzi, "Throw another one…come on"

Simba picked up another stone and threw it, what happened next? A huge rock hit Ed in the face and sent him flying through the air,

"What just happened?" asked Shenzi.

Suddenly, Mufasa jumped from nowhere and pinned all three to the ground, aiming a shotgun at their faces, "Please don't shoot us," said Shenzi.

"Yeah, we're allergic to bullets," said Banzai, "If on hits us in the head, we're going to seize up and die."

"SILENCE," shouted Mufasa.

"You're the boss," said Shenzi.

"If you ever come near my son again…" began Mufasa

"This is your son?" asked Shenzi, innocently, "My gosh, Banzai, you moron, why didn't you tell me?"

"It was Ed's fault," said Banzai.

After a few seconds, Ed looked at him questioningly, Mufasa fired a shot in the air and the cannibals took off at high speed.

(A.N. the next chapter will be about Mufasa's death, it would be tedious and pointless reading if I did chapters of Mufasa's lecture and Scar's song."
