I'm finally updating this after 4 long months, so be nice and R & R!


Chapter 7

Close to Rafiki's tree, two figures dropped towards the ground. It was Mufasa and Scar, and the little, slow-moving cloud that had been carrying them for a few months had given up, and sent them hurling towards the ground. Mufasa then noticed that his angel wings had not been taken away, and slowed down. He then grabbed his brother, and they landed on the ground gently.

Scar clawed his brother to make him let go. He then walked away.

"And where do you think you're going?" Mufasa questioned.

"Anywhere away from you," Scar muttered.

"Scar, you heard what Mom said!" Mufasa growled. "We have to stay together! Otherwise, we might never get back to Lion Heaven!"

Scar stopped in his tracks. For once in his life, he thought that Mufasa might actually have a point. He sighed and turned to face his brother.

"Fine, you win!" he sighed. "But what are we going to do? We have no idea where we are!"

Mufasa looked around the area. He then spotted a large tree nearby.

"Rafiki!" he exclaimed. "He'll know what to do! Come on!"

Mufasa quickly ran towards the tree. With nowhere else to go, Scar decided to follow him.

When they got to the tree, they climbed up the trunk and peered through the large branches. Instead of finding Rafiki, they found the cubs.

"Kayla, come on already!" Kimba said to his sister. "We have to get to the Pride Lands."

"Kimba, we can't- at least not with the egg!" Kayla protested. "It's too big- we'll get attacked by a hyena by the time we get home."

"Besides, you're forgetting about us!" they heard a voice cry out. They looked behind them and saw Timon and Pumbaa, crawling into the tree.

"What's with these guys?" Scar whispered to Mufasa. "What kind of crowd does you're son hang out with anyway?"

"They're Simba's grandchildren, Kim-" Mufasa started to explain.

"I knew that!" Scar groaned. "I was talking about the meerkat and warthog!"

They turned back to the group, and saw Timon looking at the egg, hungrily.

"Giant… egg… giant… bug!" He started chanting greedily.

"Uh… Timon?" Kimba asked. "Are you okay?"

The meerkat then grabbed one of Rafiki's sticks, and aimed it at the egg.

"NO!" Scar yelled, and- in a sudden out-of-character moment- lunged towards Timon, knocking him down and the stick out of his paws.

Timon looked up at his attacker. "Uh… hi."

Scar roared, and Timon scampered away from him.

"Hey, why don't you leave him alone?" Kimba yelled.

The lion looked towards the cub. "And what makes you think you have power over me?" Scar sneered.

"I'm Kimba, future king of the Pride Lands!" the cub announced proudly.

"Oh, really?" Scar remarked. "Well I'm Scar, the permanent king of the Pride Lands!"

Everyone stared at him in shock.

"But… you're supposed to be…"

"DEAD!" the group yelled before running out of the cave, bringing the egg with them.

Mufasa stood beside Scar, watching the animals flee.

"Wow, great intro!" he said sarcastically. "They must love you now!"

"You really think so?" Scar asked.

Mufasa groaned and went after the cubs. Confused, his brother followed as well.
