All right, I'm back, and it's time for the next of these drabbles. This time, we take a trip to Africa as I dip my writing utensils(so to speak)into the two Lion King movies! This next of chapters of this series of drabbles involves Simba's beautiful mother, Sarabi, being kidnapped and tickle tortured not by Scar, but by Zira, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed! How could such a thing as this possibly happen? Read and find out!

I own none of the characters. They all belong to Disney and their respective movies from that company and studio.

Chapter 2-Sarabi's Tickle Torture Time

Sarabi was in a situation she would just as soon never think about ever winding up in right now. You see, she had been asleep, since it was nighttime and all, but once she woke up, she was no longer in her home cave of Pride Rock. In fact, she was in what appeared to be the elephant graveyard. And what was this? She was in a position where she was lying on her back and tusks were slammed into the ground over her forelegs, which were positioned so her underarms were exposed. And her hind legs were in much the same state, positioned so both of her hind feet were exposed. Then things went from bad to worse when she saw Zira, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed come along, with the first one mentioned going: "Hello, Sarabi." with a cruel grin on her face. "Zira?" Sarabi let out. "And you three?" She had seen all four of them, including the three hyenas. "That's right." said Shenzi. "And in case you're wondering, yes, we are the ones who took you here, and yes, we all worked together to get you tied down like this!" "Why?" Sarabi asked, confused as to why this had been done to her.

"Allow me to explain that part." Zira said. "See, I survived my fall into that river, despite appearing to die, and once I washed ashore and got my strength back, I went to this elephant graveyard to hide and recover in the only place I could think of that I wouldn't be found alive in. I soon thereafter met up with these hyenas and, though they were afraid at first, since I informed them I knew it was them who killed Scar despite Simba being the reason for what led to my love being killed, I struck a bargain with them." "We'd get to live…" Banzai told her, "…if we were to help her strike at Simba where it hurts most. And since you're his mother, you're one of three choices we could have made for one such candidate." "It's a shame we couldn't have gotten both Nala and Kiara, too," Shenzi spoke, "but the risk was high enough as it was." "And, seeing as you are his only parent left, well, I think you get it by now." Zira stated. "So you're going to kill me now?" Sarabi asked. "I may be stuck and unable to get up and fight back, and perhaps there is no way I could take down all four of you at once at all, but I refuse to beg for my life. I will not give any of you the satisfaction. So if you're going to kill me, just do it now. At least Simba will know his mother died with bravery and spirit, and didn't plead from the likes of you."

"Kill you?" Zira asked, opening her eyes wide in surprise. "Why, Sarabi! You surprise us!" "Whoever said we were going to kill you?" Shenzi questioned, also opening her eyes wide with startled shock. Then Banzai put in: "The way we're going to do this revolves around how we're going to make you sound like us, like a hyena, and how, due to knowing you could never lie to your son, not even in the form of a white lie, the way you'll look after this will lead to him asking you what happened, at least after he wakes up to see you in the new state you'll be in by then." Ed then let loose a series of laughs, giggles and guffaws, and Zira put in: "So, when once we're through with you here and you're free to go, you'll have no choice but to reveal an utterly embarrassing moment of yours to your son, and he'll forever have to live with it burning in his mind, while you'll writhe on the utter humiliation of it all. I suppose you're wondering the way we're planning to do this." "The reason that we chose you wasn't just because you're Simba's mother." Shenzi said to her. "It's also for how you were, when we were choosing whether to take you, Nala or Kiara for our captive prisoner to strike at Simba, we saw that everyone was asleep, but you were the only one giggling. That was, as it turned out, due to the wind making your fur lightly brush down against your skin." "No one else was doing it, so we came to the conclusion that you must be excruciatingly ticklish." Banzai smiled.

Sarabi's face reddened at hearing this, and realizing both why she'd giggled in her sleep and what it had revealed to the last ones she'd want to know about it. Ed began to snicker and an instant thereafter, Zira said: "So we abducted you and brought you here, then made you firmly stuck where you are now so we can tickle you until you pass out." "At which point we'll bring you back to Pride Rock and drop you next to Simba, then take off so no one sees us and you'll have to tell him what happened when he awakens and you come to again. By that time, we'll be miles away and even deeper into this elephant graveyard." Shenzi added in. "Now, then, Zira, how shall we all tickle her?" "Simple, really." Zira responded. The four of them walked over to Sarabi, who did not for a second show any sign of fear, nor even considering begging them not to do it, though she did not like what she could tell was to come. Still, she would not throw away her dignity, nor break or become despondent, no matter how torturous the tickling became. She'd survived years under the rule of a monster like Scar. She could live through the impeding tickle torture of four lesser enemies of hers who, ironically, he had essentially made go from good to irrevocably evil one way or the other. All the more reason to loathe Scar's guts with a vengeance, but Sarabi just could not think about that. Not now. She was about to go from ex-queen to literal laughingstock.

Zira went on: "I'm going to tickle her stomach. Shenzi, you will tickle her sides. Banzai, you are going to tickle her underarms, and Ed, you're going to tickle her feet. Everyone get into your respective positions for maximum success and efficiency now!" So they did, and then Ed licked his lips at the sight of Sarabi's hind feet which he was about to tickle the hell out of. At the same time, Banzai rubbed Sarabi's underarms and remarked: "Those tender armpits…" In addition, Zira patted Sarabi's belly a few times and commented: "That nice, plump, soft belly, to say nothing of that cute navel…" She used her fingers to separate the fur in the center of Sarabi's belly, disclosing her belly button. Zira subsequently poked her there, keeping her finger in there for a second as she circled it around, causing Sarabi to shiver and struggle not to laugh. Sarabi was incredibly ticklish, after all. Shenzi added in as she crept her fingers down Sarabi's sides: "Those lovely, long sides…and those adorable ribs…" With that, the tickling began. Zira was using her fingers, claws, tail tuft, nose and tongue to tickle every square inch of Sarabi's belly this way and that, along with doing much the same to her belly button.

Simultaneously, Shenzi used her tail, hair prongs, nose, fingers, claws and tongue to see to it all of Sarabi's sides, ribs and everything, were royally tickled silly, with not a bit of either one of her sides left out at all. Plus, Banzai used his fingers, claws, nose and tongue to tickle all around and throughout her armpits at just as rapid a speed as the other two mentioned were doing their tickling of those other areas of Sarabi, and Ed? Why, he was licking Sarabi's feet to and fro, plus he was utilizing his fingers, nose and claws to tickle them as well. Up and down from her heels to the claws on her toes, all about her souls, in between her toes, you name it. And that not a one of her tormenters was holding back, not to mention how all of this was happening at the same time, made certain that Sarabi was in hysterics and laughing her head off very, very, very quickly indeed. In fact, here's what could be heard out of Sarabi.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHEHEHEHE HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEHEHEHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHEHAHA! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE HE! TWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"\

By the time it was almost over, Sarabi had lots and lots and lots of tears flowing out of her eyes from laughing so much, so hard and so helplessly, and besides the fact her cheeks were glowing pinkish-red and so were her feet, stomach, underarms and sides, she'd gone from being in hysterics to being in uber-hysterics, especially since the tickling was driving her nuts more and more with each passing second from the moment it started. She was also sweating a lot from such incredibly amounts of excessive laughter to the point where her fur was soaked. All over her body, as a matter of fact. Finally, as the four ticklers saw she'd reached the point where she was about to pass out, they gave one last, strong, powerful tickle in every direction and area of her she could reach, and Sarabi roared with laughter so hard that she was unable to stop herself from peeing on Ed. As if this weren't already humiliating enough for her, and she had never been this embarrassed in her life! Ed went: "UUUUGGHHHHH!" after it happened, but then burst into his usual brainless laughter. Shenzi then commented: "Dammit! Laughter must have really gotten to her, 'cause Sarabi just peed on Ed!" "At least it well proves we've done our job perfectly!" Banzai pointed out. "True, that!" Zira said. "Especially since it'd seem she's just passed out!"

Indeed, Sarabi had finally lost consciousness from all that tickling. So the four villains picked her up and carried her back to Pride Rock as quickly and quietly as they could. As soon as Zira could tell everyone in there was still asleep, they swiftly but also softly(so as not to wake anyone)placed her next to the sleeping Simba, then all four of them ran off and were barely able to contain their urge to celebrate and laugh about what they'd done long enough to make it back to the elephant graveyard. But they did, and as soon as they were back in there, they all threw a laughter filled celebration over what a success it had been, and what would occur in the futures of Sarabi and, due to that, Simba, and soon enough thereafter, the other ones who lived on Pride Rock. As for Sarabi, she awoke before Simba did, and saw he was still sleeping, but completely remembered what had happened to her and saw she still was drenched with her own sweat, tears of laughter and, to a much smaller extent, the urine which flew out at the end. She knew she'd not be able to lie to Simba, so she'd have to come clean(pun most definitely intended)about why she looked this way. Hanging her head in embarrassment, she then felt a fiery, flaming rage be flared up in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "Enjoy this while you can, Zira. Shenzi. Banzai. Ed. You're all going to pay for what you did to me and for what it's going to lead to here on Pride Rock, with my son and those around me. Don't know how I'll exact my vengeance on you four yet, but it will be nothing short of the perfection retribution. You'll all wish you'd never even heard my name by the time I'm finished repaying you…" She then sighed and lay down to get herself ready for the inevitable.
