Just as the sun was starting to rise Mufasa woke up. He got up, walked outside, jumped down the rocks and followed the path to the watering hole.
He had a drink then sat on a nearby rock, watching the sun rising. A few minutes later he looked around wondering what to do and noticed Scar in the distance so he jumped off the rock and started to head over to him.
Scar was meeting the hyenas who were already waiting for him.
Mufasa saw this and paused. Hyenas? He decided to find out what his brother was up to. Scar and the hyenas didn't notice Mufasa until he spoke. "Hey Scar," Mufasa said "what are you doing here?" Scar looked shocked at his voice.
"Nothing much," he replied "I'm just talking with my friends". He thought this might annoy Mufasa, but it didn't as Mufasa started talking with the hyenas. Scar tried to teach them more tricks, but they ignored him and carried on talking with Mufasa.
Razi, one of the hyenas, realised that Scar was being ignored and started talking to him and listening to what he said. Razi then tried to talk to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed and tell them what Scar had said. They half listened to Razi, but soon went back to listening to Mufasa and in the end even Razi and Scar ended up listening to Mufasa.
This happened everyday for the next week and Scar started to get very annoyed. Mufasa was taking his friends so he decided he had to make them listen to him. He told Razi and he agreed to help him, so before Scar next met the hyenas, Razi told them that today Scar had something cool to teach them.
Later that day Scar met them and as always Mufasa came as well. Mufasa tried to talk, but they were too interested in what Scar had planned to listen to him.
The group went to the watering hole where there was an antelope drinking and Scar nodded towards it. "There's your target," he said coldly "use what I have taught you".
Mufasa laughed. "They are going to have trouble just using what you have taught them".
"Fine, you help them," he growled. Mufasa agreed and he and the hyenas hid behind rocks and bushes and surrounded the antelope.
Razi crept up to the antelope. Mufasa watched him and then without warningMufasa jumped at the antelope from behind. Razi had just got up to it when the antelope kicked up its front legs in fear, kicking Razi in the head and sending him flying and landing with a thud on the rocky floor.
The antelope turned and ran off away from the hyenas and Mufasa. Scar and the hyenas ran up to Razi while Mufasa stood nearby laughing. "Did you see the reaction," he laughed.
Scar turned round to face Mufasa. "Murderer," he growled fiercely.
Mufasa laughed again and Scar lifted up his paw, hitting Mufasa round the face and causing him to stumble to one side.
"You knew how the antelope would react," Scar continued "you knew Razi was in danger". He forced Mufasa backwards as he spoke. "You knew and you still jumped out!" Mufasa stepped back again and fell over a rock, hitting the floor. Scar stood over him and pinned him to the floor when he tried to get up. "Murderer!" he roared. Mufasa shoved Scar off him and growled before walking off up the path back to Pride Rock with Scar glaring angrily after him.
Scar stayed with the hyenas for a bit.
"I can't believe that he laughed! We have lost a great friend." Shenzi cried.
"You were right Scar – he is a murderer!" Banzai growled fiercely.
Ed nodded his head in agreement.
Soon they were planning how Scar could pay Mufasa back for the death of their friend. As it got dark the hyenas headed off to find somewhere for the night leaving Scar by the watering hole staring at his reflection in the water.
"Hi." The voice made Scar jump. "Cool scar." Scar looked up to see a young lioness next to him, but he turned back to the water and ignored her, seeming uninterested in why she was talking to him. She stood in silence for a second before suddenly leaping at Scar and pinning him to the floor. "Name's Zira," she said. Scar grinned. "Scar," he said coldly. Zira laughed as she let Scar get up and together they sat by the water talking, but this was only the beginning.

To zekesbabe
Thanks for the review. Slightly over the top maybe - they did have a point. Anyway – I like what you said about Scar. I think this shows a different side to him. Shows how he became the Scar everyone knows in the L.K 1.
Please keep reading and reviewing :)
