Later at the hyena's lair, Banzai was rubbing his rear. When Mufasa had jumped on top of him and slashed him, he left a deep scar that would take weeks to go away. "Man that lousy Mufasa. I won't be able to sit for a week!" He complained, but looked up when Ed started laughing at him. "It's not funny Ed." Banzai growled, glaring at the laughing hyena. Ed bit his lip, then laughed and fell on his back, rolling up into a ball.

"Hey shut up!" Banzai yelled. Banzai tackled Ed and the two started fighting.

Shenzi rolled her eyes as she watched them fight. "Will you two knock it off?"

Banzai stopped, leaving Ed chewing on his own leg. "Well he started it!" Banzai exclaimed.

"Look at you guys. No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain." Shenzi said, walking up to Banzai, who drooled.

"Man I hate dangling." Banzai said.

"Yeah? You know, if it weren't for those lions, man we'd be runnin' the joint." Shenzei said sarcastically, narrowing her eyes at the word 'Lions'.

"Man! I hate lions" Banzai said.

"There so pushy" Shenzi said seconds later.

"And hairy"

"stinky"

"And man are they uuugggly!" they exclaimed falling over together in laughter.

"Oh surely we lions aren't all that bad." A familiar, low and monotoneless voice said. The hyenas gasped and jolted up in alarm. They saw Scar sitting in the shadows, looking down upon them with his eyes narrowed. Along with him were two tall, green skinned, red eyed aliens. One of them was dressed in dark red robes and a large black crown on his head, he was Viceroy Newt Gunray of the Trade Federation. The other was dressed in a black robe, he was Gunray's assistant.

"Oh Scar it's just you." Banzai remarked, not caring about the others. "We thought it was somebody important"

"Yea like Mufasa" Said Shenzi, pointing her paw at Banzai. Banzai chuckled.

"I see." Scar rolled his eyes at them.

"Now that's power." Banzai said.

"Yea, tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder!" Shenzi said.

"Mufasa.." Banzai taunted, waiting to see a reaction from Shenzi.

Shenzi shivered. "ooh…do it again."

"Mufasa! Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa!"

Shenzi fell over laughing. "It tingles me!"

Scar groaned and put a paw over his eyes.: "Do you see what I have to work with?" he mournfully asked Gunray. "It really shouldn't be so hard... if only we had thumbs... perhaps then it would be us ruling the stars..."

"As you know, Scar," said the Viceroy as he followed scar down a rocky ramp along with his assistant. "Our blockade is on it's way. Within a few days it will surround the entire planet."

Scar hmm'd. "So long as you keep everyone grounded long enough, even those bumbling fools will get it right... sooner or later..." He looked distastefully down at the hyenas. Ed had begun lapping up the drool that had gathered around his paws while Shenzi and Banzai watched in disgust.

Scar walked towards a large platform with a control panel. He pressed a button, and in faded a life-size blue faded communication hologram of a human dressed in a large black hooded cloak. The only thing that could be seen of his face were his nose and lips. He was called Darth Sidious, a powerful and dangerous master of the JedI arts known as the Sith. "What is it?" he asked, menacingly.

Scar cleared his throat and spoke with authority. "The tawdry trio has failed... Simba is very much alive. If you want this done, send me someone who can do it right."

The dark Lord gritted his teeth. "This interferes with our bargain, car."

Scar hmmphed loudly. "Do you really think I can get myself in any more hot water? Those idiots I have at my command couldn't chew their way out of a water buffalo, and I surely can't do the deed myself. If you want me to think up another plan, you'll have to hold off your blockade... it'll be impossible to break through two Jedi when everyone's on high alert."

"Not for a sith." Just then, up from behind Sidious, stood a dark figure dressed in a similar black hooded cloak, with a red and black face and eyes like fire. He glared at the lion, hyenas and Viceroy as he folded his arms. "This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will take care of your nephew."

Scar seems a little disturbed himself. "...Very well," he said, not enjoying the idea of such a... strange person coming to make trouble. "Send what you will... as long as I get what I want." And with that, the holograms disappeared. "Which leaves Mufasa to me."
