Simba's POV

About a thousand different feelings surged through my body when Scar confessed to killing my father, the one that snapped to the forefront of my mind was one of rage, Scar had to be brought to justice for his crime.

I found a foothold on the cliff and shot up, pouncing on him and pinning him hard to the ground by his throat, "MURDERER!" I shouted, my voice cracking with fury.

As I held Scar down, my mind coughed forth flashback after flashback, reminding me of what he made me think that I did, and how that had affected my whole life up to this point.

I then thought of the disbelief I had heard in my mother's tone when I confessed to what I had been brainwashed into believing.

"Simba, please..." Scar managed to gasp through my grip

"Tell them the truth!" I demanded

I actually thought of snapping his neck when he replied, "The truth? But the truth is in the eye of the behol- ach!" I didn't let him finish the saying, I only wanted him to say one thing, and he was going to say it, even if I had to beat it out of him.

Scar looked up at me, he stayed silent for a few seconds, "Alright, I did it." he said in a low whisper

I pressed down on his throat, "So they can hear you." I insisted

Scar smiled, "I KILLED MUFASA!" he said, loud enough for everyone to hear him

It was all out in the open now, the lionesses had heard him admit his guilt. Now all that was left was the punishment

I drew back and prepared to end my uncle's life.

Little did I know, the hyenas didn't want him dead, at least fifteen of them jumped on me to stop me.


Nala's POV

I charged into the group of hyenas that attacked Simba, batting them away from him defensively.

The others joined the battle by my side, the lionesses were determined to make things in our homeland right

Well, not all of us.

"Zira, move!" I shouted at her

Zira stood there, frozen in disbelief, "No, I won't fight Scar, he is the father of my cubs Nala, I can't."

I shook my head, "Look around at what he's done Zira, do you think your cubs can survive in this?" I asked her, hoping to talk her into helping us, and to see the truth.

She turned away from the battle and began walking, "You don't understand Nala, and I can't make you, perhaps you will when you have a cub of your own." she said

What? Was she crazy? How could she defend that monster? Cubs notwithstanding.

I shrugged off Zira's refusal to help and rejoined the battle, clearing a path to the way up the side of Pride Rock.

One thing they don't tell you in the story is that Simba didn't fight Scar alone, I helped. A lot.


Sarafina's POV

I'm not going to lie, fighting the hyenas was extremely satisfying to me. I saw them as one of the two causes to my poor state of living.

"Sara, behind you!" Sarabi called to me

I spun and caught the hyena's outstreched forepaw in my mouth, flinging him aside I nodded a silent thank you to my old childhood friend.


Simba's POV

I had Scar cornered, there was nowhere else for him to run, as he looked for a way out of his predicament I growled, attracting his attention.

"You murderer." I said, "Why should I let you live? You ruined everything that was good in my life." I told him

"Simba, Simba please, I am your family." he said, his voice cracking in fear

"You might be Scar, but what you've done is unforgiveable." came Nala's voice from behind me

What was she doing here? It wasn't safe for her up here

"Nala, what are you doing up here?" I asked her

Scar began laughing, "Oh dear, this is precious. I alway figured you two were a good match." he said

Nala turned to face me, "I want to help you bring him down." she said, "And I'm not asking for your permission." she added

Scar turned to me, "Simba, you don't want things between us to end this way do you? you aren't the violent type right?"

I shook my head, "No Scar, I'm not like you." I told him, meaning my words to hit him where it counted

"And neither are you Nala?" he asked

Nala nodded, "I can be." she said with a growl

"You two aren't thinking this through, it was the hyenas idea to kill your father Simba, it was their fault, it was their idea." Scar said, again trying to weasel his way out of his situation.

"Why should we believe you? Everything you've ever said was a lie." I said

Part of me really wanted him to try something at that point.

Scar got wierd again, he wasn't scared, but he wasn't confident or happy either, "But what will you have me do?" he asked

'Run away Simba, run. Run away and never return...'

I narrowed my eyes in hate, "Run. Run away Scar. and NEVER return." I said, mocking his command to me as a cub.

Scar looked surpried to hear that from me, "Of...course...Whatever you say, there's only one thing Simba."

"And what is that?" I asked, not really caring what he wanted

He eyed some nearby embers from the raging wildfire, "I just wanted to wish the two of you the best of luck, you two will clearly need it."

Nala cocked her head at the strange statement, "And what is that supposed to mean?" she asked him

What happened next happened so quickly that I barely had time to process what was going on, Scar flung embers in both mine and Nala's eyes, as I struggled to clear them from my eyes, I could hear Nala and Scar fighting.

"Think you can bring him back here to kill me?" I heard Scar ask, his tone was one of anger.

I heard Nala snarl at him, "He's here now isn't he?" she asked, sounding like she was asking through bared teeth

Just as I cleared my field of vision and turned to face Scar, I saw him knock Nala over the cliff edge.

"Now this is interesting Simba." Scar said as he walked over to Nala, who was struggling to hold on, the distress obvious in her expression.

"Your girlfriend is now in the same perdicament that both you and your father were in, I wonder if she will find her way out of it like you did." he added

I was extremely worried about Nala, "Get away from her Scar!" I shouted at him, my voice quivering with building uncertainty.

Nala looked over at me, "Don't worry about me Simba, finish what you've started. Take him down." she insisted

Scar cast a curious glare over at me, "Yes Simba, take me down, it's what you really want in life right?" he taunted

I growled, "Shut your mouth. "

Scar walked over to me, "Or you'll do what? Hit me Simba, I'm right here." he was practically begging me to do something

I looked back to Nala, her claws left white trails in the rocks as she slid backward, her grip failing slightly.

"Just what I figured, You're all talk. Mufasa would be disappointed indeed." Scar said mockingly

That was it for me, I roared and struck him across the face, he reeled from the blow and staggered backwards, I charged him and slapped him several more times, this time with my claws extended. Scar finally recovered and began to retaliate, he was stronger than his skinny form looked, he laid into me with several strong blows, one of them knocking me over.

I looked up at him as he charged my prone form with murder in his eyes, I wasn't ready to be attacked yet, my defense from this position would be easily overwhelmed...

...Were it not for Nala, she jumped in front of my uncle's reckless charge, knocking Scar over a small cliff and herself unconscious.

I stood instantly and went over to her side, my mind flashed back to after the stampede, Nala was laying in a very similar position to my father on that day.

"Nala, can you hear me?" I asked

She groaned and opened her eyes slightly, smiling she said, "Loud and clear your majesty."

I smiled a huge smile but did not say anything in return, I was near-euphoria that Nala was ok, but could not express it in words at the time.

I just sat there and smiled.


Ed's POV

Try to pin this wole thing on us did he? Not if Shenzi, Banzai, Myself and the hundred or so hyenas that accompanied us had anything to say about it.

"Hello, my friends." Scar said, as though we didn't hear his little speech to Simba about how this whole thing was our fault

Shenzi gave him a look that would've sent even the strongest male hyena running for the hills, "Friends? Way you were spinnin' it we were the enemies." She said

Banzai nodded slowly, "That's what I heard." he said

They both then turned to me and asked their usual, "Ed?"

I nodded and laughed maniacally

Scar gave us a look of horror, I smiled at him.
