The following day went by as as every now misable day in the Pridelands were.

Except for Nuka who was once again dropped on the hyena trio.

Last's nights fighting had been decided, tonight was the night Scar fixed the error that was his first born cub. Nuka was going to loose his birthright today. Yet of course he didn't know that

"Aunt Shenzi, Uncle Banzai, Uncle Ed," Nuka said as he went to the hyena trio "Mom and dad said their going to be busy today, so can we play again?"

"Wow this is going to be to easy," Shenzi thought

"Why yes Nuka I'd love to play with you today," Shenzi said

"But what about Uncle Banzai, and Uncle Ed?" Nuka asked

"Oh," Shenzi said trying to think fast "They...have colds,"

Banzai and Ed caught on and started coughing up a storm

"Don't want my favorite prince to get sick," Shenzi said taking Nuka away from her friends. Yet not before giving them a glance that said "You know what to do," on it

Banzai and Ed were still confussed as to what Shenzi was doing with Nuka, yet when had she ever stared them wrong?

"Not much farther Nuka," Shenzi said

"Where are we going?" Nuka asked tired

They had been traveling for a good while now. Beyond the Pridelands and deep into the elephant graveyard of the Outlands. The sun was already starting to set

"To a big suprise," Shenzi said

"Really?" Nuka said "What is it,"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a suprise now would it,"

"Awww," Nuka said a little upset

Soon enough Shenzi took Nuka to a huge pile of bones

"Is this is Au..."

Shenzi cracked a huge bone over Nukas head, knocking the young lion out.

"I'm sorry Nuka," Shenzi said "But maybe it'll be better this way. You're father dosen't love you, your mother won't stand up for you. And from what Scars doing you'd end up being the king of nothing but dirt.

Shenzi gentle nuzzled the cub. "I love you," she whispered

Shenzi really did think of Nuka as the pup she never had. And the thing about pups, their family protects them and makes sure they grow up safely. Even from their own abusive parents. Plus having one lion around wouldn't be that bad. At least with Nuka she and the other hyenas could mold this youth into one of them, and he would grow up with some serious muscle.

Shenzi ran back to the Pridelands, and to the fight to come.

The sun set once more, and the lions were once again asleep.

Well, almost all of them.

Zira stayed up, worried that her little Nuka hadn't come home. Scar didn't care much, he was glad to have that failure gone, and odds were he'd definietly get a replacement after what he and Zira had done today.

"Shenzi," Zira said "You were the last one to see my son, where did he go?"

Shenzi simply smiled "Nuka is fine,"

"What's goi..."

Banzai and Ed had attacked Zira from behind, bitting her in the neck. Blood oozed out of her as her body began to uncontrollibly shke. Soon enough she was dead.

"One down" Shenzi said

"And so many to go," Banzai said

Ed laughed an evil laugh

The hyenas crept into the lions dead and quietly assasintaing ever lioness they saw

Yet of course nothing ever goes according to plans.

Nala was outside of the den, determined to flee her home and hopefully find help. Yet all that changed when she stepped in something wet, and red. NAmely, Ziras blood

Nala freaked out and shouted.

That one shout was enough to wake up the other lionesses, only to see what the hyenas had done. An all out fight followed.

Lions and hyena bitting, scraching and killing eachother, yet the number game caught up with the lions who were out numbered really good. Nala had tried to save her fellow Pridelanders, yet to no avail.

And in the end Scar was surronded by his dead subjects and a whole mess of hyenas

"Mutiny," Scar said "You've all betrayed me! Have you forgotten what I gave you?"

"You gave us jack," Shenzi said walking past her hyenas to face Scar. "I don't what you thought being king ment. But it sure as hell dosen't mean let you kingdom become shit. No wonder Mufasa had a son. I wonder where the king who weren't great go?"

"You..!" Scar said pissed as he tried atacking Shenzi. Only to have a wave of hyenas pounce on him and devour him

"You make a bad king," Shenzi said eating Scar "But you are a great meal,"

"Yes he is," Banzai said chewing on one of Scars legs

Ed slupred Scars tail like a noodle.

After the fighting and death was over, Shenzi went back to the Outlands and got Nuka, who was still unconsis

"What the?" Banzai said seeing what she had

Ed was about to attack Nuka, but Shenzi stopped him.

"Not this one," she said "He's off limits,"

Other members of her clan protested and demanded an explination for letting this young lion live

Shenzi told them about Nuka being like family to her, and that he'd be the clans lion. He'd work or them, unlike how they worked for Scar.

"I am queen, and as such I say this cub lives. I and my closest friends will raise him like are own. Giving him the illusion he's still royalty.

Her clan was skeptical about this, but in the ens allowed it. It was just one lion after all
