Hi y'all Okamibattleblock here! So once again this is a totally rewrite of everything. But once again the begging chapters have the least changes, because at this point I am not rushing things. So enjoy and I'll see y'all at the end.
Taka angrily walked alongside his nephew and his grandson. Simba was still a bit shaken up from earlier, his eyes darted from place, as if he was looking out for him.
"Don't worry Simba, I'm always going to be here." Taka whispered uncomfortable close to Simba ear.
Much to his enjoyment Simba reacted accordingly slightly shivering with discomfort. He knew Simba couldn't see or actually hear him, but it felt good nonetheless. Kion on the other paw was silent the whole way home. To be honest there was always an awkward or uncomfortable aura anytime Kion and Simba were alone. Kion was always a little nervous around his dad as, unlike Nala, Simba would spend most of his time with Kiara be it royal lesions or kingly duties, whatever it was he just didn't get to see his father.
By early afternoon the trio arrived at Pride Rock, the sun was already fully up, and in the distance both Nala and Kiara rushed towards them. Nala gave Kion quick but starn talk about running off by himself, but Kion said he was sorry and that was that. When the sun was at its highest both Simba and Nala left to take care of something in the Pride Lands. Leaving both cubs to their own. Kion overlooked the kingdom on the ceremony peck, when a voice called behind him
" Kion!" The voice called from below the peck. Kion looked frantically around, but Taka spotted him first, and he instantly wanted to unsee "him".
Kion was suddenly knocked on to his side by a force smaller than him.
" Ha ha. I scared ya didn't I!"
" Bunga! You don't scare me. I was just off guard."
" You can say what you want, buuut I say I won!. The unBungaLievable Bunga! Put down the powerfully Odd-Eyes Kion!" The young honey badger bosted.
Kion…. I love you, but you friend circle is concerning to say the least. Taka said mentaile as he rolled his eyes at Bunga antickes.
" Alright you lazy lion! Enough of this sap!" Bunga shouted as he let Kion up. " There's a whole world out there, and I don't want to miss it. Zuka Zama!" With that Bunga was gone into the wilderness, and soon both lion cubs were gone.
The two children ran through the savannah to their heart's content shouting, yelling, being Bunga and whatever he does, and all around just enjoying life. The two, unknowingly, come to the outland's borders.
" Take this Kion!" Bunga shouted 'sneakily' as he jumped for the lion cub. Kion, being the smart cub he was, slowed himself down just before ducking below loose branch. Bunga hit the branch square one, sending him back.
" Next time Bunga, don't try to be sneaky! Even a deaf baboon can smell you!" Kion mocked.
" Hey! Uncle Pumbaa says my stench is fine!"
" If you say so!" Kion shouted as he ran past the recovering badger. " But, that won't help you catch me!"
" Ohh ya!? Watch me!" Bunga shouted with determination.
Bunga sped up as he, jumping up into the trees, to followed Kion from high above, and once Kion was in his sights he let out his deadly gasses, desoranting Kion. Bunga took the chance and leaped at his friend.
Kion and Bunga rolled on the ground till Bunga once again pinned Kion down.
" Soooo still think my smell is useless?!"
" That's- n-not fair" Kion coughed out. " You cheated!"
" It not cheating, I just used what I had!" Bunga replied cheerfully.
As the two laughed a small but noticeable tremble in the ground interrupted their fun.
" What was that?" Kion asked as he began to look around for the source.
" Maybe it was my stomach? All this running does make me hungry!" Bunga suggested as he got off the prince. Kion got up and also looked for the source of the sound. When suddenly the crackling came back... but louder! Before Kion and Bunga could find the source, it soon became clear it was a landslide straight into the outlands.
" Bunga! We gotta go!" Kion shouted as he ran forward to land but was stoped by ever expecting cracks in the ground.
Kion and Bunga stood their as the small piece of land they stood on started to slip further and further down.
" Okay Kion, this may sound crazy, but I think we can jump our way across." Bunga said brightly, as if he wasn't in danger.
Kion looked around frantically, his heart started to race causing him minor pain, but tried his best not to show it. " Okay Bunga, but we have do it quick!"
With that both jumped their way to each, to each still piece of land, as for the moment Bunga plan seemed to have worked. Bunga made each risky jump as if it was another game, as Kion stuck to the more stably pieces. But of course, Bunga's luck had to run out as he jumped onto an unstable piece of land.
" Whhoooo! This one's a shaky one!" Bunga laughed obviously forgetting the danger he is in.
" Bunga!" Kion shouted, but to his unvall, he didn't hear them.
Looked forward, just one more jump he could make it to safety, but that would mean leaving Bunga. So without a second thought, Kion made his way to Bunga.
" Hey Kion! You sho-ahhhhh!" Bunga shouted as he was suddenly thrown across to stable land, leaving Kion alone. Kion was about to jump when suddenly his heart ache he did his best to ignore, evolved from a slight stab, to hard throbb, which was too much for the young cub to handle.
"-o-"
Kion could feel his conscience slipping, as every sound, no matter how loud they were nothing more than a whisper. All he saw before passing out was a blurry sky, before soon everything went dark.
" Kion wake up."
" Kion. I won't ask you again! Wake Up Now!"
Kion opened his eyes on commanded. His head was throbbing, his hind leg most definitely broken, but surprising his heart was back to beating as it should, with a study pitter-patter. But it still didn't distract from the other pains. By the mercy of the great kings themselves, he landed on the rubble.
Kion finally managed to open his eyes, and found Taka right next to him, as well, to his dismay, was in the dreaded outlands. Kion's eye wided in terror, his parents told him to never go there, as it was the place for ruffians and thugs. What made matters worse… it was sunset!
" Bunga!?" Kion pleaded up, but to his surprise his friends didn't answer back.
Kion, still a young cub mind you, was on the verge of tears. Natural he immediately went to cry into Taka's leg, who gladly took him in.
" T..a..ka. Wh...at are w...r going to ttoo do?" Kion cried
" Don't worry Kion-" Taka said softly as he hugged the cub tightly. " You'll not alone. Don't forget that I will always be here with you."
Kion didn't answer back but Taka did feel a small nod on his leg.
"But even if I wasn't, we have to go now, the Outlands are no place for a cub as young as you. Beshies-" Taka took a whiff of the air, then narrowed his eyes with disgust. " I'm sure the hyenas will be out looking for dinner."
" Hhh...yeanas!"
Good going Taka, let's scare you grandson. Taka meantilly growled, but if it helps him move I guess it fine.
" Yes Kiongozi Hyenas. Buuut if we get a move on now, you'll be gone before they see you" Hopefully
" R..i..ight." Kion sniffled before desloging himself from the wet patch on Taka's leg.
" Good, now follow me." Taka command.
Kion did as he was told and followed Taka through the ever darking Outlands. With each step the surrounding cliff sides become harder and harder to see, as the sun began to deep below the sky once more. This actually brought a little solace to the cub, as the stars begin to shine once more.
" Taka! It getting darker!"
" Shh it going to be alright. Just keep looking forward." Taka suggested. But he could tell it didn't help clam Kion's nerves. Sometimes it's a blessing that I'm dead. Taka though as he opened his mouth.
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Taka chanted soothingly. Kion perked his head up as he looked up then back at Taka, who still walked silently like he didn't sing at all. Kion ran up next to him, his discomfort was already gone. The two continued though the Outlands, by now it was midnight.
" Taka? how much longer?" Kion asked
" Not long Kion. Flat Ridge Rock is just a little way further."
" Good,cuz-" As if on queue Kion's little tummy rumbled. " I could eat a whole Zebra!" Kion joked.
Taka rolled his eyes playfully. " I'm sure-"
" Unfortunately we ran out of Zebra!" A shrewd voiced crackled.
" Yaaa, and boy was it deeeeeliocus!" Another one called.
" ndgxkjhgchfnr ouhrfi!"
Kion eyes darted around with fear. Three hyenas emerged out of the shadows surrounding him, coming ever closer.
" But that doesn't mean that dinner over kid. In fact how about you join us?" The female hyena asked with a grin.
" W..wh a.. You?" Kion tried to asked.
" Look at the little guy. He's too scared to speak!" The male hyena laugh, only casing Kion to back away more. Bumping into the third hyena, who kind of just looked at him funny.
" Where are my minners." The female said closing in on Kion. " I'm Shenzi."
" Names Bamzai and that one their is Ed." Bamzai pointed and Ed just gave a half conscious wave.
Taka growled, his eyes narrowed with anger, and aggression. His memories were still fresh off the harsh death they put him though. He remembered each bit, each laugh. Now here they were about to hurt the one animal that matters to him.
" Now who are you."
" I...m Kkkkion."
" Kion. Kion where have I heard that name before?" Bamzai asked, looking at Shenzi.
" You dot! It Simba's son!" Shenzi answered with a slap. " I guess it's true what they say. Like father like son!"
" Ohhh ya, but unlike you dad." Bamzai got closer to Kion, who was frozen with fear. " You won't miss dinner!"
" Kion!Run!" Taka shouted , giving him a slight confidence boost in himself, as he swapped at the hyena, giving enough space to make a run for it.
" Hay that hurt you punk!"
" haaahahahahaa!"
" Fouse you two! Now get the cub!" Shenzi commanded as she ran after Kion.
Kion was running as fast as he possibly could. His little legs were tried but in the distance he could see it. Home.
" Go Kion! You'll almost there." Taka cheered as he ran next to him.
The laughing was getting closer, so Kion ran faster. But then out of his sight, a bigger body hit his, Pinning him down.
" Haaaaahhhhaaahahhahahahahahh." Ed laughed, his slobber dripping on the scared cub.
" Let Me Go!" Kion pleaded with.
" Now why would we do that?" Shenzi asked with an evil grin. " When dinner about to start!?" Shenzi snarled, as she caught wind of Kion left eye, the shiny green sparked in the moonlight, resarfishing her hatred for him. That's when a wicked idea crossed Shenzi's mind..
" Ed let him up!" Shenzi commanded, and Ed followed.
Kion got up promptly, but before he could get on all fours, he was grabbed and thrown into a rock. Kion let out a whimper, then he felt something warm run down his neck.
" Shenzi, why you doing that for!?"
" Just tenderizing the meat that's all! "A wicked grin spread across her face as she approached the cub once more. Before Kion could get up to defend himself, he felt another pain bait on his neck as he was thrown agust another wall.
Kion breath become shallow, his eyes began to weigh more than they should, and he could feel his life fading.
" Kion." Taka said softly. " I can help you, but I need you to trust me." Taka asked with pure bluntness.
Kion was too weak to respond, but he tried anyway. " I-"
Before he could Shenzi pinned him down. Kion could only keep his left eye open as Shenzi breath ran down his muzzle.
" You know Prince, that damn eye of your reminds me of one of my favorite meals. It was called Scar, he was a lion just like you, and just as pathetic, and just as weak too. You'll just missing something." Shenzi grin grew to evil smile as she raised her unsheathed as it came down on him. But as Kion, started to lose conscience for some reason the name Scar stuck with him.
" Kion. Do you trust me?" Taka asked one more time.
"Kion could only softly shake his head as tried his hardest to stay awake. But soon his conscience was slipped away.
" Good." Taka said as he rubbed his mane softly. "Now sleep my child. I promise this will all be over soon."
Taka loving smile was all Kion saw before blacking out.
Shenzi stood over Kion's still body, basicing in her work.
" So we free to eat him now?" Bamzai chuckled as he overlooked the cub.
" Haaha."
" Ya go ahead, but save some for Janja." Shenzi said. " He's a growing boy after all."
" Haaahahahahahaha!" Ed laughed in agreement.
" I quite agree Ed."
A cold wind blew through the cliffs as the voice answered.
" Who said that!?" Bamzai asked with concern.
" Hahaha" Ed chuckled as he pointed to Kion.
" You crazy!?" Shenzi scolded." He nothing but a de-"
" Ohh come now Shenzi, surely you think more of me than that?" The voice asked, but Shenzi knew how it was.
" Scar! Where are you!"
"Scar! Na it can't be! We ate him remember!"
" Ohhhh I remember quite well Bamzai. I remember each bit, each laugh, as you disgracefully vermen brought me to my doom."
" H...ha...haha!" Ed growled out as he pointed to Kion, who started to move once more.
" No. Don't tell me!" Shenzi growled. " What are you waiting for kill him!" She commanded, but the other two where to confused to do anything.
Kion body slowly got up, as if it was rising from the dead. His fur was stained red with blood. As Kion shock the dirt off he slowly turned around to face the hyenas, with his eyes closed. On his left eye had a fresh new scar with blood dripping down his face, leaving trails of red down his check. Finally Kion opened his eyes, showing off two gleaming eyes of pure green.
" But if I learned anything from my father, is that the lions of the past live in the next generation." Scar said in all his flamboyant confidence.
The three hyenas just stood there in shock as Scar wondered in circles just looking around, toying with tine rocks and what have you.
" You know, I was hoping we could play catch up, get to know what has been going. Don't you think?" Scar asked as he turned to the three, with a mincing smile.
" Aaarrrrrr!" Bamzai growled as he lunged forward towards Scar, who just rolled his eyes. Scar leaped onto a nearby rock only to jump off it, launching him towards the charging hyena. As Bamzai got closer Scar swapped at him in the air, knocking him asaid.
" You know Bamzai there's a reason I never asked you to carry out any of my master pains." Scar chuckled, as he held down the hyena, with one claw a little too close to Bamzai throat.
" Lay off him Scar!" Shenzi ordered, as she ran up knocking the cub off her clan member.
" If you want to fight, then pick it with me!" She snarled.
" Shenzi-" Scar got up, simple brushing off any pain like it was nothing. " Since when did you become the protective type?" Scar asked, feeling Kion's new scar, he sickly smiled as he felt the now groves over his eye.
" Since I had a kid to watch! I could ask you the same thing!"
" How funny, as do I. We were going to enjoy the stars tonight, but you had to go and ruin it . But a promise is a promise and I intend to keep it, even if I have to spill some blood." Scar got on all fours ready for a fight
" Ha please! You may talk all big but you still a cub!" Shenzi also got ready to get dirty as her eyes narrowed, as did Scars. Both knew that only one of them where going to walk out of this battle alive, and both had something to fight for.
" Shenzi don't!" Bamzai growled out, as he shackling got up.
Shenzi didn't listen as she rushed towards Scar who waited patiently, his smile never leaving his face. Shenzi went into swap at the cub, but all the sudden Scar ran under her and headbutted her stomach, pushing her back a little. Shenzi quickie brushed it off Scar lunged forward, but Shenzi swappeding her paw at him in midair, sending Scar flying into a rock with an audible tump. Shenzi grin wided now was her chance to kill Scar a second time, she ran at full force at Scar and with her teeth bared… she ran right into the rock, with Scar know where to be seen.
" Wha… where did you go you cowered!?" Shezi frantically looked around for any sign of Scar, but there was nothing but his voice.
" My dear Shenzi, you know if it weren't for your betrayal the haynes would still be hunting in the Pride Lands." Scar mocked, from behind Shenzi who went in for another attack but bashed her head agust another rock.
" Shenzi just give it up!" Bamzai plead with actual concern, but Shenzi was to deep in her rage to hear anything but Scar.
" You know, you were the only hayne I saw actual potential in not because you where the smartest but you were the easiest to control."
" Shut up and Fight Scar!" Shenzi growled loudly as she once again hit aimlessly agust the rocks hoping she would get a hit in but to no avail, as she just ended up hurting herself.
" Why should I?Besides I feel more at home in the shadows, but if you insist-"
" Owww!"
" Haah!"
Both of the hyenas howled in pain, as they fell to the ground, with large gashes on the legs, making them unable to get up.
" Ed! Bamzai!" Shenzi ran over to her friends as she heard their pain, momently forgetting about Scar. A fatal mistake as the moment her back was turned something bit down hard on the side of her neck.
" Shenzi!"
Shenzi let out a blood curdling howled as she fell to the ground. As she laid there her eyesight become blurry.
" Get away from her you monster!" Bamzai cried out, as Scar come out of the shadows.
Scar simply ignored his plea, and with all of Kion's strength he rolled Shenzi onto her back, pinned her down, and put a claw to her throat. "- then I'll be happy to oblige."
" Scar! Don't!"
" Why shouldn't I Bamzai, so unless you can bragin a good deal, I'm afraid I have no choice. "
" Let her go… and our clan promise to leave! If you ever find yourself back in the Outlanders, you won't be seeing us around. Right Ed!?"
Ed only nodded.
" Very will, but in return-" With a wicked smile Scar dug his claws into Shenzi throat, and with that the leader of the hyenas was no more. " The winner takes it all."
Bamzai heart dropped, rage began to build up in his body " Nooooo!" He screamed, tears started to stream down his eyes. "Damn you two timing monsters!"
" Monster, how rude to call me such Bamzai I simply took my prize now-" Scar held down Ed much the same why he did Shenzi.
" Haaha." Ed laughed nervously as he backed himself closer to the ground.
"- hold your end of the bargain and leave the outlands. Oorr I'll-"
" Fine! Fine! Just leave us alone!"
Scar smirked smugly, with a blood covered paw he ran it through Kion's mane, both to fix it and to hide the blood. " Good now I must be going, I'm afraid it's rather late." As Scar left he heard loud crying behind him. But his smirked on wided, he gotten revenge on one of his murders. Once he was a good enough distance away he finale sat down to rest.
Ohhh Kion the things I do for you. Scar said with a smile, as his breath came to him slowly. If you don't mind, I think it's my turn to take a nap. Scar took in one large breath, as he fell to the ground, and in the distance a loud squawking could be heard.
" ugg" Kion groaned, his eyes slowly opened, his head was slightly throbbing, but judging by the hard rock, and the blinding light that filled his eyes, he was on top of Pride Rock.
" Kion, please be careful. It fine if you can't stand, it good enough you're awake."
" Da-ddy."
" Don't worry Kion, I'll be right here." Simba reassured him.
" Good." Kion whispered before falling back to sleep.
Simba stood over his son, how peacefully he looked, but the only thing he could focus on was his scar, and how much it reminded him of Scar. Simba growled quietly, as he walked over to the edge of the rock to oversea his kingdom.
" Scar, if your there, just know I won't let you hurt my family-" Simba slight turned his head to look at Kion, who had a smile on his face. " even if I must hurt it myself."
So here we are at the end, the only song used here is once again a very tiny bit of Into The Unknown. Once again I'll see y'all next time, also please leave a review! It would really help me out.
