Late the next day Scar found the hyenas. They were on the edge of the Pridelands and they wanted to show Scar a cool new place they had found so he followed them. They led him to an elephant graveyard.
Scar looked around. It was amazing. He knew Mufasa would never come here and he could do whatever he wanted. He grinned at the thought.
They walked in to a cave and Scar glanced up the walls on both sides, amazed by what he saw. Hyenas. Lots of hyenas. Shenzi noticed the look on Scar's face. "They are all on our side" she smiled. Scar smiled back. He spent the rest of the day at the elephant graveyard, exploring and talking to all the other hyenas.
Just before dusk he set off to the watering hole where he met Zira again and just like the night before they talked and talked. A few hours later it was dark so they headed to Pride Rock.
The next day Scar saw Mufasa walking out the cave so he ran after him. Mufasa was surprised that Scar seemed so happy to talk to him, but he was happy that Scar seemed to have forgiven him for what had happened. Scar had other plans though and he knew that if he kept Mufasa talking a short while then they would meet the buffalo on the way to the watering hole. Scar knew that the buffalo were powerful and, if everything went to plan, Mufasa wouldn't escape.
They stood talking a while then started on the way to the watering hole. In the distance they saw Uru and some other lionesses hunting and, as they got nearer the watering hole, Scar saw the buffalo and decided to run, knowing the sudden noise would annoy the buffalo. Mufasa chased Scar, not realising what might happen. Scar headed straight for the buffalo causing the buffalo to spin round in anger.
The buffalo formed half a circle and Mufasa and Scar stood opposite them. The buffalo started coming towards them and the two brothers turned and ran with the buffalo close behind. Scar ran to a tree and climbed up as far as possible.
Uru noticed the buffalo, then she saw Mufasa running in front and she ran to save him. She got there just as Mufasa saw a tree and he jumped and scrambled up to safety. The buffalo carried on running and Uru had no time to escape. She was knocked down.
The buffalo didn't get the two lions and, as soon as they had gone, Mufasa and Scar jumped down and ran to their Mother, but it was too late.
Meanwhile the other lionesses had gone to get help, running as fast as they could to Pride Rock.
"Ahadi," one of them shouted "trouble in the Pride Lands!" The King followed the lionesses, soon spotting Mufasa and Scar and when they got closer they saw Uru.
"Mufasa…Taka!" the King said "what happened?"
Mufasa looked at Scar when the King called him Taka and Scar gave an evil look, refusing to answer, so Mufasa tried to explain what had happened.
The King looked at Scar. "Taka you got that scar from causing trouble with the buffalo before and now this!"
He turned to Mufasa. "And you Mufasa," he said sadly "I can't believe you let this happen". He didn't say any more. He just turned away and headed slowly back to Pride Rock.
Mufasa couldn't believe what his Father had just said. He had been blamed. He glanced at Scar who was still annoyed about being called Taka, but after hearing Mufasa being blamed that didn't seem so bad.
"It wasn't just my fault," Mufasa said quietly "you were part of this and I'm going to make sure that he knows that." Mufasa turned away from Scar. "Later…Taka" Mufasa said as he walked off and Scar growled at him, though Mufasa didn't even hear it.
After a short while Scar set off to the elephant graveyard and told the hyenas what had happened, blaming Mufasa for everything.
"He is now responsible for two deaths!" Scar yelled "He will pay for what he has done". The hyenas were shocked to hear what had happened and they believed every word Scar said.
It wasn't long before they were planning a new way to get Mufasa back, but would his plan work this time?
