Now, as a gigantic team, Harif the mean honey badger was sitting around a small watering hole in the Back Lands with his new friends: Draak, Tuma, Makucha, and Mpishi, common enemies of the Lion Guard that have formed a dangerous friendship, and they all have a common hatred in those children that always meddle in their affairs. To be fair; they didn't know exactly what to do about those kids and trying to keep them from meddling in any more of their hunting and other affairs.

After they were done refreshing their hydrations, they went to find shelter from the hot sun in a small cavern and have a little sit-down together as nehydration, it was a rather cozy and warm cave and they thought of having this as their new hideout so no one would find them.

For them to be better than the hyenas and jackals that were the kids' enemies, they needed to act smarter and more crafty than them. Turns out that; Harif was the first one to discover the cave and no one seemed to have lived in this hovel before.

As soon as everyone had their drink from this waterhole, Harif was the first to speak, and he began: "Well fellas, the next time we see the Lion Guard, we will make sure they have messed with the wrong kind of animals."

"I see your points but do we have a plan?" Said Tuma.

"Well... no." The honey badger admitted. "But, we all know that Kion is pretty dangerous, since he has the fancy-shmancy 'Roar of the Elders' in himself. The rest are a bunch of stupid kids with that don't even know the meaning of being in the Lion Guard in the first place."

"Maybe, but they do know how to fight." Said Makucha. "But, that Fuli is a fast runner."

"And Ono may be a pushover at times, he can be quite a scrapper when it comes to fighting." Mpishi added.

Draak was the next one to talk when he said: "they took down a family of jackals many times, and a clan of hyenas too."

"Those were different, Draak." Said Harif. "Back then, it was just five of them and only one of us, and it was not a fair advantage against them. Thya's the reason why we lost to them a few times."

His cohorts were muttering in agreement about what their leader said. "I guess that's true." Said Tuma.

"And as for the hyenas; Janja and his clan are just a band of morons, along with any other hyenas. They can't even think for themselves. For the Jackals; they are just a bunch of skinny, stupid freeloaders who would betray anyone for their own favor. Believe me, just look at Reirei and her family.

"Even if they hate the Lion Guard as much as we do?" Asked Mpishi

"Heh. I didn't say make them or enemies too." The honey badger corrected.

"What about King Simba?" Asked Makucha. "If he finds out about this, he'll banish us to the Outlands like he did with Scar's followers before. Trust me, the Outlands suck big time. Hardly any food or water over there."

"True." Said Draak. I've been exiled there before and it is mostly rocks, boulders, sand, and almost like a wasteland out there." The hippo looked over at the canyons and rock formations that made up the Outlands.

"Well, Simba doesn't have power here in the Back Lands." Said Tuma.

"Yeah," Harif agreed. "They're ruled by Jinjin and Maya of the Night Pride."

An uneasy feeling spread throughout the leopard. "Don't even mention those names around me." Said Makucha with pure hatred and anger. "Those lions really bug me, and I can't stand them trying to ruin my lunch either."

"Well, this just gave me a thought." Said Harif. "We all know that Kion is the most powerful member of the so-called Lion Guard, right?"

"Right."

"And Kion knows how to inspire others on his side, not to mention his parents are the king and queen over the Pride Lands. So, if we can kill Kion, the rest of the Lion Guard will disband without their leader."

Makucha, Mpishi, Draak, and Tuma seemed to like this idea. It was like a saying similar to this: "how do you kill a whole army of ants? You kill the queen." Yes, that sounded very effective. No more Kion would mean: no more Roar of the Elders to scare this band of villains.

"And maybe for Simba and his Pride of Lions, we can kill him, Nala, and every one of those lions that rule over the Pride Lands." Makucha added. "They think they can have the glory to themselves because of their manes and cat faces."

"My thoughts exactly!" Said Tuma. "Who needs Lions in life? We can be just as mighty and tough as them." Mpishi agreed. "If they weren't around, we could do whatever we want, whenever we want."

"Totally. Why can't they just leave us alone when it comes to food?" Draak added. "I could eat a whole field of grass or cattails if I wanted to. Beshte is certainly becoming a thorn on my side, same with his own father. I just wish I can lay my teeth on both their necks."

"Perhaps we can arrange that." Said Mpishi. "And I can really eat whatever I want. My talents are sharp enough to impale a pangolin's neck."

"Sokwe kicked me put and defeated me in a battle between us." Said Tuma in a bitter voice. "He has no clue on how to run a gorilla family. Believe me when I say this: we're better off without him and I would make a very capable leader. All of that Circle of Life mumbo-jumbo is nothing but a bunch of Galagos carcasses."

"Now you're just making me hungry." Said Makucha.

"Can we at least focus on what we should do with Kion and his annoying friends?" Asked the harrier hawk.

"Right. We kill Kion first, that would be the main goal of our missing to rid ourselves of the Lion Guard forever." Harif continued. "We may be equal in numbers now, but they are just a bunch of kids like I mentioned before. "Still, doesn't mean we shouldn't underestimate them. We all know how well they can fight."

The other members of the Lion's Bane thought of the times that they had their hides whooped by Kion and his closest friends. Hatred was rising in their blood vessels and veins just thinking of their past blunders with those meddling kids.

"I agree with you about killing Kion first." Said Draak. "What about the other kids?"

"I think we should kill them just for the fun of it." Tuma said Said evily. "They did have a paw and or a wing in trying to claim my rightful place as the nee leader of my family."

They were all thinking about what they would do with the Lion Guard the next time they see them and get in another fight with them. It was decided that Kion would die first and kill his friends next for good measure.

"You know what, Tuma?" Said Harif with a wicked smile on his evil face. "I think we should kill the other Lion Guard members just for the fun of it. After them, we will move on to Sokwe, and all the animals who shunned us."

"Then we can move on to King Simba and when we're done with him and his Pride, the Pride Lands will be all ours!" Makucha said. He and his friends began to laugh evily and wickedly at this kind of plot for a new attack.
