Hi guys, once again I'm updating mostly because school is out and I have plenty of time to update now! XD. So I'm happy with the reviews I received on my last two chapters, so this next chapter will hopefully be good because another one of my favorite Lion King songs is in the one! By the way, the song I used in the last chapter was 'The World I Knew' by Jordin Sparks from the movie African Cats. Also someone asked if they could use Anaya in one of their stories and my answer is yes, you may and this goes for anyone else who would like to have Anaya in their story. I fully give you my permission to use her if you'd like to that is. So anyways, let's move on with the story!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE LION KING NOR DO I OWN THE SONG USED IN THIS CHAPTER
Chapter 7 – "Be Prepared"
Scar was frowning all the way from the Pridelands to the home of the hyenas. He was angry, frustrated, and basically wanted to kill those bumbling hyenas now more than ever. All he did was tell them to kill those cubs. That's it! 'How hard is it to kill 3 small cubs?!' he thought. For those hyenas, it was pretty much challenging considering that all three of them were mentally challenged, to him anyways, not to mention that those irritable cubs had the King of Pride Rock protecting them. Scar was ready to rip the hyenas' throats out for their idiocy and inability to accomplish anything, but then he got a sinister idea. He smiled evilly and continued on his way to the hyenas to discuss the plan, however, they were already grumbling and dealing with a situation of their own.
"Man that lousy Mufasa! I won't be able to sit for a week!" Banzai said with a frown. Ed giggled at the deep claw marks created by Mufasa on Banzai's backside. Banzai scowled at him.
"It's not funny, Ed" he said as calmly as possible, but Ed bursted out laughing in a fit of hysterics, which made Banzai angry.
"Hey, shut up!" he growled out to Ed. Ed was still laughing hysterically and Banzai lost his temper. He growled at Ed and then pounced on him, both of them rolling around on the ground trying to bite and scratch the other. Shenzi was up on a small ledge above them and groaned when she heard them fighting. She looked down and glared at the two foolish hyenas.
"Will you knock it off!" she yelled at them. Banzai rolled away from Ed and scowled at Shenzi.
"Well he started it!" Banzai replied, pointing to Ed who was chewing on his own leg.
"Look at you guys! No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain" Shenzi remarked, hopping off of the ledge.
"Man I hate dangling" Banzai replied.
"Yeah. I mean if it weren't for those lions, we'd be runnin' the joint" Shenzi said.
"Man I hate lions" Banzai said.
"They're so pushy" Shenzi said
"And hairy!" Banzai replied
"Stinky" she said
"And man are they…"
"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY!" Shenzi and Banzai said together and laughed. However, their fits of laughter were interrupted when an ominous, but familiar voice became present.
"Oh surely we lions are not all that bad" Scar said as he seated on top of one of the high ledges. The hyenas breathed a sigh of relief when saw who it was.
"Oh Scar, it's just you" Banzai said with relief.
"Yeah, we were afraid that it was somebody important" Shenzi said.
"Yeah, you know like Mufasa" Banzai added. Scar scowled at them. They may not have realized it, but they were insulting him by unintentionally implying that he wasn't someone who everyone should fear unlike his older brother Mufasa and that made his blood boil in anger.
"I see" he said coldly, but the hyenas didn't notice his tone.
"Now that's power" Banzai commented on Mufasa's strength.
"Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder" Shenzi said and then Banzai started to joke around with Mufasa's name and all of them laughed. Scar groaned and rubbed his temple.
"I'm surrounded by idiots" he groaned.
"Now you Scar, see you're one of us. I mean, you're our pal" Banzai said and Scar rolled his eyes.
"Charmed" he replied
"Ooh I like that! He's not king, but he's still so proper" Shenzi commented.
"Hey, Scar! Did ya bring us anything eat? Scar, old buddy, ole pal, huh, did ya, did ya, did ya?" Banzai asked excitedly. Scar scowled at him. He really shouldn't give the meat he hunted to them since they didn't accomplish his goal, which was so easy that a meerkat could have done it.
"I really don't think that you really deserve this" Scar said as he waved the freshly hunted piece of zebra hide above them. The hyenas immediately leaped up and opened their hungry mouths up and were drooling all over the place, waiting for that delicious piece meat to fall into their mouths and fill their empty bellies.
"I practically gift-wrapped those cubs for you. And you couldn't even dispose of them" he said before he carelessly dropped the meat onto the ground in front of them. The hyenas smiled and began to chomp down on the meat, savagely ripping parts off and filling up their stomachs with the juicy meat.
"Well, you know it wasn't exactly as if they were alone, Scar" Shenzi said with a mouthful of meat.
"Yeah, what are we supposed to do? Kill Mufasa?" Banzai asked with a mouthful of food and then swallowed it down begin digging back into his meal. Scar smiled evilly, as if the hyenas had read his devious mind.
"Precisely" he said sinisterly. The hyenas looked at him with a confused expression and then Scar leaped down from his ledge all the way down to the ground and kept that sinister smile on his face.
"I know that your powers of retention, are as wet as a warthog's backside"
Scar looked to his side and saw Ed mindlessly chewing on a bare bone and scowled because he wasn't listening to him.
"But thick as you are, PAY ATTENTION! My words are a matter of pride"
He smacked the bone out of Ed's paws and then waved his own paw in front of Ed's face, but Ed looked dumbly into space and his friends chuckled behind Scar.
"It's clear from your vacant expression, the lights are not all on upstairs"
"But we're talking kings of successions"
Scar glared at them and appeared right in front of their faces, scaring the life out of Banzai and Shenzi.
"Even you can't be caught unaware!"
"So prepare for the chance of a lifetime! Be prepared for sensational news!"
Scar hopped onto another ledge and thought deviously of the thought of what killing Mufasa would be like as well as what would happen to Pride Rock after he was dead. He would rule even better than Mufasa and have a kingdom all to himself.
"A shining new era is tip-toeing nearer!"
"And where do we feature?" Shenzi asked. Scar grabbed her cheek and held it tightly.
"Just listen to teacher" he advised before he released her.
"I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded when at last I am given my dues!"
"And injustice deliciously squared!"
"Be Prepared!"
The hyenas smiled at the thought of something that they had no clue about.
"Yeah, be prepared! We'll be prepared. For what?" Banzai said and Scar groaned.
"For the death of the king!" Scar said loudly
"Why is he sick?" Banzai asked. Scar rolled his eyes and grabbed his neck.
"No fool, we're gonna kill him. And Simba too" Scar said smiling wickedly before he dropped Banzai onto the ground.
"Great idea! Who needs a king?!" Shenzi said happily.
"No King! No King! La la la la la la!" they sang happily but Scar growled at them.
"IDIOTS! There will be a king!" he yelled at them
"Hey, but you said that-"
"I WILL BE KING! So stick with me and you'll NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN!" Scar proclaimed and the hyenas cheered.
"YAY! Alright, long live the King!" the hyenas said and soon the whole pack of hyenas joined them in the great news.
"It's great that we'll soon be connected, to a king who'll be all time adored!"
Scar smiled wickedly above his loyal subjects.
"Of course quid pro quo, you're expected to take certain on board"
"The future is littered with prizes and though I'm the main addressee"
"The point that I must emphasize is…"
Scar leaped down from the high ledge and openly glared at all of the hyenas.
"YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!"
"So prepare for the coup of the century! Be prepared for the murkiest scam!"
Scar hopped onto one of the heated ledges that began to extend all the way out of the cave and into the cold night sky with blazes of fire and smoke surrounding him.
"Meticulous planning! Tenacity spanning! Decades of denial! Is simply why I'll….."
"Be king undisputed, respected, saluted and seen for the wonder that I am!"
"Yes my teeth and ambitions and bared!"
"Be Prepared!"
The hyenas were all laughing hysterically and singing along with Scar about his plan for taking the throne from Mufasa and the future king Simba. The plan was so terrible, so awful, and cruel and evil that it was perfect for Scar and that was the point. Scar had a such a cruel, cold and dark heart that he didn't care about how everyone would feel. He just wanted what he felt was rightfully his: being King of Pride Rock.
"Yes our teeth and ambitions are bared!"
"BE PREPARED!"
Scar and the hyenas laughed maniacally towards the night sky as the plan for killing Mufasa and Simba would commence tomorrow.
Alright another chapter done and you guys know what's next: The Stampede scene! In the movie, that scene made me cry and it probably will again when I write about how it's gonna go. And befire I forget, Anaya will not be with Simba in that scene because I'm going to switch back and forth from their points of views about what is happening to each of them. So until then, review if you guys want something new!
