The second chapter was already written by the time the first was out, but the third might take me some time because I have to write it yet. Sorry I took so long to type it, I lost my notebook.

Chapter 2: Years in Exile

"Hey, what's he doing here?" asked someone.

"I'm here to live. I've been kicked out of Prideland," Scar said, trying to sound as dignified as possible. He was now in Outland and facing an adult. There was no government and it was horribly ruthless, but it was the only place he could go.

And so they accepted him into their country. Truth be told, Scar had big plans for the future. When he got older, he would lead them to victory against Prideland and take it as his own.

But he couldn't forget Malkia's kiss or how she had confessed her love to him. No matter how many people had hated him back there, she didn't. Not only did she not hate him, but she loved him. It was almost enough to keep him from becoming a jerk. Almost.

~X~

He started having a dark outlook on the world and how things weren't right at all. If there were any justice, then that bastard Mufasa would be here instead of him. If only he had been born first.

It was then when she started to slip away. He clung desperately to her memory, but son he found himself forgetting her name every now and then and her image was a complete blur. The most vivid thing was the feeling of her lips on his and even that was starting to sleep from Scar's memory.

When at last the time came that he had completely forgotten her, he found the people three people that were two years younger than him that would be very useful. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were easy to convince to join up with him when he said he planned to take what should have been his. They weren't the brightest, but they were easy to manipulate.

At the age of fifteen, he met her. She was also cast out of Prideland and she hated his father and brother as well. Her name was Zira and she became one of Scar's followers as soon as she found out who he was.

All memories of the girl from his past were gone.

Malkia certainly never forgot Scar. The day he left, she made a vow to get him back someday and help him obtain the throne.

With this vow, she also gave herself a scar, right on her collar bone. It was small, but it was there, a mark that would never go away. It was a reminder of what she would have to do for him.

Everyday she would look at her reflection and remember him. His voice, his eyes, his old name, the way he looked when he cried that day, that first and last kiss. It was with these thoughts that she began to plan Ahadi's murder.

Yes, with Ahadi gone, Mufasa would assume the throne. And Mufasa hadn't agreed with sending Scar into exile, so he would let him back in. That was when they would get together and plot Mufasa's murder.

There was no way she would let Scar down.

Age 24. Scar was now starting to think up plans. Plans to dispose of his brother and get him the throne he deserved. Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, and Zira were going to help him in any way possible and, for that, he was grateful, though he never showed it.

He was even slowly winning over the other people in Outland. He was sure that, with their help, he could win. And it was only for supplying food for them all once he was in power.

Of course, there were still flaws in the plan, but those could be worked out eventually. Zira, on the other hand, wanted to fix them immediately.

"How are we going to get in?" she asked him. "I don't think they're just going to let in three Wastelanders and two people in exile!"

"I've told you before, Zira, I'll figure it out when I do!" Scar hissed.

"I'm only doing this because I want you to succeed. I love you." She placed her lips on his and he wondered for a moment why it felt so familiar.

Then, of course, he realized what she was doing and shoved her away before running. He definitely didn't want to deal with his trusted companion being in love with him.

The next few days were silent, even with the three idiots around. It wasn't until he looked at a calendar that Scar realized it was Mufasa's 26th birthday. He remembered how hurt he had been when his own brother had done nothing to keep him in the kingdom, nothing to help and protect him.

He hated Mufasa for all of that and would never, never, forgive him and wouldn't rest until he was dead. But first he would have to get in.

~X~

Luck just happened to be on his side, for in the next week, a Pridelander came to speak to him.

"Your father was poisoned. I'm sorry for you loss, but that is not why I am here. I am here to tell you that, since your brother has assumed the throne, he has ended the exiles during your father's time as ruler. You and the woman Zira are now welcome in Prideland."

Scar couldn't believe it. Now he could finally get his revenge and do what he was meant to do. Before he left, he told Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed that he would meet them once a week at the border to discuss plans with them, but for now he would be leaving.

Finally, after fourteen years, his exile was over.
