The three hungry hyenas were standing over the terrified Simba.
"Let's get him guys!" shouted Shanzi. The hyenas lunged at Simba. Simba dove out of the way just in time to avoid Banzai's jaws. He jumped onto Ed's head and then took off running the other direction. The hyenas were in hot pursuit of Simba!
Meanwhile, up in the tree, Zazu was watching this horrific incident. He waved down a flying group of early birds and told them about the predicament. There were three of them, a red one, a black one, and a green one. The red one took off to go get more bird backup, and the other two shot into the air and pursued the three vicious hyenas. They were incredibly fast and almost instantly caught up with the hyenas. The black one swooped down in front of Shanzi while the Green one swooped down in front of Banzai. This gave a little separation between young Simba and the menacing hyenas. Zazu caught up with the other birds, huffing and puffing. The hyenas were snapping at the birds, which were flying intricate patterns to avoid the snapping jaws.
"Now!" yelled Zazu. This codeword sent the two birds climbing into the air, Zazu following. The birds met up with their red friend, and about 16 other birds in the sky. The birds separated into 2 groups of 10, both flying in V formations. As they were moving forward, the birds descended slightly until they were about 6 feet above the snarling hyenas.
"Now!" yelled the green bird and the black bird. The two squads lowered down to the ground just in front of the hyenas. The hyenas screeched and tried to put on the brakes, but just skidded into the mass of feathered fiends. The birds squawked and aimed their sharp beaks at whatever flesh on the hyena that their beaks could find. The hyenas screeched, but Ed, thinking he was a bird, tried to peck at the other 2 hyenas. After about 5 minutes of this, Simba had turned around and came to watch this odd sight. After 5 more minutes, the birds took flight, all of them going up into the clouds. All of them, that is, except for the red, the black, the green, and Zazu. Those 4 hovered about 6 feet above the hyenas. The hyenas' skin was covered with cuts and red welts. The hyenas slowly got up and limped away. That is, except for Ed, who tried to fly off with the rest of the birds. He was unsuccessful however, and fell into the dust before crawling after the other hyenas. When he finally caught up with them, about 50 yards away, he stood up and tried to peck Shanzi. Shanzi pushed him into the dust again.
