Claw Pov:

"It's been several months since me and Freddie have been away from Auradon prep to be that of hired anti heroes. It's been, kind of good work. Or rather exciting since we get to travel places across the kingdom along not listening to anyone's rules, only to make sure no one gets to mangled in the sense. I talk to Trick about both of our businesses working out, seeing how we're both in the same department of being hired for jobs that needed dangerous people like us. As well that things at Auradon prep have been pretty well, along with that things have gotten exciting with this 'Cabal' team running around. Might give me a reason to cut loose with my claws, right now me and Freddie are staying at a small house. It had some goblins trying to sneak out some gold from a near by village, we made ourselves comfortable there as well kicked their green backsides out. As well gave the village the gold, but half of it since we did it. Took about six bars, even share might I say."


Within the woods

Outside of the small cabin, was several bones let alone feathers and dream catchers around it forbidding any dark spirits to enter. As well of claw marks across the tree's warning anyone to not come here. In the that of the living room was a dark skin VK, who had that of a short sleeve shirt that had a skull on her chest as well several feathers across the the side. As well wearing a burgundy pants, she was in the kitchen making that of breakfast as well thinking of the ingredients.

"Ok, got tails of a newt. Some spices of gumbo, now needs a pinch of pepper."

She spoke thinking about the meal she was cooking, not noticing behind her was that of a shadow. It was roughly around her size but two inches bigger. Having a set of hair around him, along a pair of green eyes. The silence of the creature as well how it slowly did a growl made it seem intimidating, though for her. Rather a bit annoyed seeing how that it she knew who it was, as well could feel the hot breath from behind her back.

"Claw, don't even think about creeping up on me."

Warning said person to back away to which it was Claw, the lion son of Scar as well the evolved VK who was first found by Trick. As well the VK beast to date a human, seeing how he and Freddie were considered a couple. As well traveled across the kingdom as anti heroes for hire let alone of explorers since they wanted to see the kingdom they lived on.

Claw: "Come on Freddie, you can't blame a lion for trying. Especially since you couldn't see it with those cards of yours."

Teasing her on how Freddie has been getting good at using her cards, let alone summoning things from them seeing how she was becoming quite the magic user like her dad. Walking over to the living room, he pulled out a laptop that he bought with the gold they got from the goblins. They also set up that of their own business number for people to seek their help, as Freddie finished cooking some bacon as well that of pancakes. The voodoo Vk looked at her dark brown lion boyfriend to notice him wearing some glasses, she chuckled a bit as well couldn't help but laugh at his eye wear.

Claw: "Is there something funny about these glasses?"

He asked of her seeing that there was something strange as wearing glasses was something strange, along cute which Freddie didn't say anything as well placed a plate for the two of them. Both of the Vk's began to eat their breakfast while Claw continued to look at the laptop.

Freddie: "Well, you know those dumb videos that the princess's post about their pets? Because seeing you working on a laptop, as well wearing classes is a bit cute. Except, for those razor sharp claws."

Pointing out how he looked rather cute even if he was a wild lion like VK beast, especially that his claws had grown in the past two years. Seeing how that they were much bigger like actual lion claws, as well his paws being huge. The lion soon began eating some of the pancakes that Freddie made as well saw how she ate, Claw. Coughed a little bit to which he wanted to ask something to her.

Claw: "So ugh, Freddie. It's been, quite a while since we left the school. As well everyone else, to go out and explore the kingdom. And, kind have enjoyed it. Like, a lot."

The lion Vk spoke out sounding a bit nervous, since this was the first time Freddie had seen him like this. Let alone of how this seemed a bit new, to which made Freddie look at him with a curious look.

Freddie: "Are you trying something with me? Cause the last time you tried to be 'nice'. All I remember was us in the middle of the floor in a small hut. And us in that of a zebra blanket."

Bringing up a rather fascinating memory of the two of them being hired to help escort some new animals to the pride lands so that Simba could look over them. As well had several glasses of drinks which involved that of juices from Belle's hometown along others that made them pass out. As well lead to them passing out, not knowing what happened the rest of the night. Claw, merely chuckled at that as well remembered it too well.

Claw: "That, was a bit messed up. But, it's about us. Let alone how we've been good, plus the fact that. I'm lucky to have someone like you to hunt with, as well enjoy the company of a human that is more sly then a snake."

Complimenting how she was good in staying in the dark, as well surprising people without them knowing. Which Freddie merely accepted the compliment as well waves her hand to him at how he was speaking fondly of her.

Claw: "Which, is why that I. Wanted to ask you something, which is. Pretty weak coming from someone like me, as well that. I don't know, how to say it."

Acting more stranger by the minute to which Freddie was nervous herself, seeing how her fearsome and lion beast of a boyfriend was acting. Afraid, finishing her meal Freddie remained silent as well waited for a response. The lion, merely tried to say something to her which lead to the moment to be bothered. Along of how his computer was beeping, this sudden interruption caused the boy to let out a frustrated roar as well bend his fork.

Freddie: "Well, that broke the tension. Let's check out the dead meat who's calling us."

Smiling at how this was a good way to ruin this sudden change of their daily mornings as she took away the plates, Claw removed his glasses as well straighten his lion like eyes to getting angry. Straightening his jacket as well looking at the laptop, he saw that he was getting a video message from someone. Opening the email, it was none other then Trick. Who was right now not wearing his mask as well in his room as well waving to them.

Trick: "Hi guys! Been a long time hasn't it!"

Shouting through the monitor as well causing both of them to tense up sense it was still the morning, along how his voice somehow got them a bit cranky. Let alone try to not swear at their fellow Vk friend.

Freddie: "Hello Trick, thought you have your mouth sewn by now for how loud you can be in the morning."

Making a joke as she was right now checking out her cards, during her time out with Claw as well visiting each kingdom as well home. Freddie had gotten more cards that had different types of spells, and seeing if he was calling them. Then it be ready for a possible 'visit' from him seeing how he would love to bring friends on his adventures.

Trick: "Ha! Love the joke, but fun fact. I was recently trying that to see what the outcome would be, turns out getting string from Cinderella's mice is a big no no. And possibly got Evie ticked off."

Showing Claw his lips seeing how he wanted to test out more of his healing regeneration, as well do it in a rather sensible manner. Claw merely glared at him as well raised a eye brow looking at Trick seeing if there was a possible reason to this interruption.

Trick: "Now, I had to tell you both about this 'Cabal' that have been going about being the new bad and all. As well how their planning on doing their own things, so if you happened to come around them. Make sure to beat them up, no maiming or anything that could resolve in a broken bone. Mal's and Evie's rules, not mine."

Explaining to them about Mad Maddy's team of rogue Vk's that desire to be the next villains as well cause a whole lot of trouble, especially across Auradon. Freddie and Claw merely groan a bit seeing how this could affect them, as Freddie begun to get dressed seeing how it was possibly time to get ready for a job coming up as she walked upstairs.. Claw, rub the side of his mane let alone looked at the Oogie Vk.

Claw: "Seriously? Out of all the times to bring us news. Why couldn't you just give it to those Heroes in Training people? Aren't they heroes or something, Ask Harold to throw a boulder at them, or maybe just throw them somewhere that won't get in our way?"

Thinking about the possible ways that the Cabal could be handled, as well including bringing in heroes that can do this job. Trick, shook his head on the screen seeing how that sounded smart. As well professional seeing that with how Maddy's gang had no problem causing a lot of problems, let alone breaking the law with no worries about the world.

Trick: "Seriously? Those punks? Nah. They got better things to do, like singing to their parents about how far they went the distance. Or something that revolve parental issues. Besides, we Vk can do this. As well, a certain other thing you were about to do before I came in."

Stopping in the sentence as well shifting his hairless eyebrows to him, which Claw merely growled at him seeing how that he didn't know anything. Trick, put his hands up not saying anything let alone knew Claw would come at him on all four if he went to futher.

Trick: "Didn't mean it like that, just. I know the feeling that's boiling up, and trust me. She's going like it, just show her that king side of you. And, maybe a bit of villainy. We all still have it, even your's truly."

Smiling at Claw before hanging up, as well had something to deal with the question that the lion might ask Freddie. The lion, merely sighs as well gets up to where he walks over to the couch. Which had some of his clothes, it had been changed to help him handle attackers with projectiles. He had a dark brown vest with claws, as well of how he had grey like spiked wrist bands. As well with black boots, putting on his boots let alone checking out the reflection. He looked like a intimidating figure, as well a lion ready to go on the hunt.

Freddie: "Hey Claw! Just got a message on my phone about our next gig."

Shouting from upstairs as Claw looked up, to hear some footsteps coming down. Having that of her skull make up face on, as well that of sleeves upon her arms, along having a voodoo style. She looked both mysterious as well nobody to cross, her alias was 'Midnight'. Seeing how she appeared upon the moon light, though it was because she appeared from the shadows.

Claw: "How come whenever you get dressed up, I find it hard to focus? As well can't avert my eyes."

Asking to which Freddie merely smirked at him seeing how the lion, while all powerful and ferocious when their at work hunting down criminals or thieves. He couldn't help but fall for her, as well stay by her side like a king to his queen. Walking towards her lion, as well rubbing underneath his chin. The lion merely purred a bit as well couldn't help but enjoy her rubbing.

Freddie: "Cause I know what attracts deadly creatures, especially when it involves a case of other lions."

Telling him in which Claw looked confused, as she pulled up her phone showing the text. Apparently, a safari tourist from Auradon who was studying on the pride lands lions as well going to interview the king. Were acting up, along of being lead by someone. Apparently that of a feline by the name of La, as it showed a photo of the jaguar Vk controlling over the lions.

Freddie: "Guess these Cabal punks want to mess with you dad's land, wanna go and mess them up?"

Thinking it could be fun as well might get a hands on experience on who they were dealing with, Claw. Looked at the lions and merely lowered his head, seeing how that the Pride lands was the reason Scar was sent to the isle. Along of him being like this, a monster.

Claw: "I don't know, saving a bunch of lions that cast my father into a pit, brought back from death to have me. As well be his revenge for Simba? Kind of screwed up to do it."

Feeling like it be weird to do this, saving the place where his father was killed. It was a rather tense topic that Freddie didn't bring up since they never went there, though right now. With the lions under the control of La, it seem to visit it as well avoid a possible takeover of the kingdom. Freddie, merely sighs as well rests his head by his fur like shoulder. In which, he notices her as well couldn't help but meep a little.

Freddie: "Yeah, but with that in mind. It's possibly a good way to show those stuck up cats how you changed, as well that your better then you father. As well even show them what kind of lion you are."

Giving him a bit of a pep talk to him on doing this not for the lions, but for himself as well to show how he was not like Scar. Especially how her words also meant about what kind of lion he was, to which he had to ask her something once they get this all over. Along of handle this 'Cabal' business in the Pride lands.


The Pride Lands-Pride Rock

It was the afternoon within the animal covered lands, as well of how they were guided towards pride rock. The center of the land where all the animals would line up to greet Simba and the royal family, though right now it was being occupied by that of two women. It was both Ginny Gothel and La, who were being right now treated like royalty let alone how they were on that of stone like thrones.

Ginny: "You know something La? Combine your potion making in making ferocious beasts fall for you, along my knack of making potions. Especially that of perfumes, as well combine two together. We can have a whole kingdom like this to ourselves, good idea testing out this place."

Smiling at how they combine both of their natural as well wicked talents, to use them upon the lions. Along of how that this was a field test, seeing if they could take over a small area like this. Then a much bigger area of the kingdom would be easy, the two Vk's looked over at the lions who's eyes were glowing in a trance like stance. As well were gathering that of ingredients for their potions, as well having some lions drinking the water that had the formula.

La: "Shame that it lasts for about two hours, if we could find that monkey Rafiki. It be possible to use his shaman ways to increase the dosage."

Growling a bit in a upsetting tone as the lions needed to drink the potion in order to stay in control, to which she had to use it on fruits. As well spread the formula into the water, though with how they were doing. It seem like things were going alright.

"Then it be best, to ask politely. To find what your seeking."

Spoke a familiar voice from the side let alone of it moving by the controlled lions, was of the monkey shaman himself. The two, looked over and saw Rafiki, the wise mandrill shaman who knew a lot of the lion's as well aided Simba as a mentor.

Rafiki: "You two ladies have done a grave thing, as well have potential to be something better. But following in your parents footsteps, never lead to good things."

Sounding both wise and humble to the two, as they still had a choice in stopping this. The two merely smirk as well rose from their stone like thrones, Ginny pulled out that of a sword as well La holding her jaguar staff.

Ginny: "We're just doing what we were born to do, being wicked as well making our parents proud. Besides, maybe you can help us. Otherwise, we make you into lion appetizer."

To which La, let out a roar which caused the controlled lions to look at Rafiki, making the mandrill look around him. He chuckled at their confidence, seeing how they had him completely covered on all corners. Shaking his staff, as well making the controlled lions confused. He taps it on the ground doing somewhat of a signal, suddenly coming around the ground was that of the lion's shadows. It made them completely freeze as well unable to move, along a roar coming from behind them. Which was both Claw and Freddie, who were walking by the shaman's side making the two cabal women groan.

La: "Should have guessed, thought you both would enjoy wickedness as well bringing trouble to anywhere."

Asking him sense both felines had a thing for causing a whole lot of trouble for everyone, in which Claw merely chuckled showing his fangs at her showing that he wasn't intimidated by that remark.

Claw: "Oh I do, but. We Vk's don't exactly share the same type of wicked, cause your leader? Maddy, want's a whole lot of trouble. Which is why were here to put a pause on that."

Cracking his knuckles as well Freddie, who was checking out her cards seeing how that they might be in for a fight. Both Vk's walked towards the women as they did the same. Rafiki in the while would be helping out the lions get out of their trance. La, lets out a wild like roar before leaping upon Claw as the two feline Vk's battled each other, while Ginny. Merely drives her blade towards Freddie.

Freddie: "Still carrying that sword? I remember how you practice on being a pirate, wanted to try and make Harry yours as well be a pirate queen. Didn't exactly happen didn't it?

Teasing her as well avoiding each of the thrusts of her attacks, making Ginny growl in frustration. Displaying some swordsmanship like skills to the voodoo Vk, Freddie continued to avoid each move. While for Claw, who was right now in a stand still duel with La. As well holding onto the staff, both cats roaring at each other for intimidating, La was able to pull him over and throw him onto the ground.

La: "You are disgrace to predators."

Insulting Claw, as the lion merely growled at her along tried to get at her. However, before anything she got swatted upon her head. It was Rafiki who was able to snap the lions out of control. Along of having the pack look towards La, as the jaguar Vk rushed over to Ginny seeing how they overstayed their welcome.

Ginny: "Your lucky that you had a monkey to scratch your back, but nothing to help you protect your front!"

As she pulled out that of a light pink formula, to which Claw rushed over and protected Freddie as the Vk threw it onto the ground. It exploded causing that of smoke, as well it blinding most of the lions, as well Freddie. While for Claw, could feel the impact as well merely shuttered at how it felt.

Freddie: "You ok big guy?"

Asking him in which the lion nodded, along going on his knee's a bit seeing how the blast was that of a vanishing act. Both Ginny and La were gone, as well left merely a scorched spot on the ground. As everything seemed alright, Freddie noticed something hanging from his sleeve jacket. A cut where La scratched him along of a box falling out, she got nervous at what it was.

Freddie: "Claw? What's that."

Looking worried as well didn't know why he have a small box like that, let alone keeping it with him. Claw, growled at how this wasn't a way he wanted to ask her. To which Rakifi, kept the lions back sense he felt a strange moment going happen.

Claw: "That, was ugh. Suppose to be something, I was going give you for breakfast. Seeing how we, are both good at doing stuff. Let alone that, during the past months and days we've been together. Have been good, and I. Don't want to lose that feeling. So, I had Trick get me something, to help display it. Meaning a stone from dwarf mines."

Doing his best to not act like a chum, or rather a wimp seeing that it was hard for him. Freddie, felt a strange like emotion of anxiety fueling her as well somehow seeing this before. Opening the box, it was a small like diamond stone with a voodoo ring that was her finger size, which meant it would fit Freddie. She herself, tried to not freak out or act like those girls at the academy.

Claw: "Freddie, daughter of the shadow man. Would you, possibly. Somehow, would accept this offer. And, be my mate?"

Figuring out how to say this which meant it was a marriage proposal, Freddie. Thinking that this was adorable, along how it was amazing at the same time. Tried to not laugh as well sheds some tears at the same time, doing her best to not ruin this moment. She nodded as well accepted the ring.

Freddie: "Yes, yes I'll marry you fur ball!"

Accepting it as well hugging him at the same time, seeing how while she didn't show that much of a joyful personality. The lions around them let out a roar along making it rather more exciting for Freddie, as Rafiki. Smiled at this sight seeing how while there were still few bad apples still not going change their ways, there were some. Going to be something truly amazing, as well unique.
