Zazu sat in his bone cage. In sadness and despair at his situtuation, he watched Scar devour a piece of meat. "No body knows, the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow. " he sang in a depressed voie.

"Oh Come now Zazu, why don't you sing something with a little more bounce to it?!" asked Scar. Zazu sighed.

"It's a small world after all..." he started, but Scar freaked.

"NO! NO, anything but that!" he roared. Zazu gave him an odd look, then started humming to a rhythem that he could sing.

"I've got a lovley bunch of coconuts, there they are standing in a row. Big one's small one's, some as big as your head..." he sang. Scar seemed to like it and started singing along happily. "I would never have to do this if Mufasa was alive." Zazu whinned. Unfortunitaly Scar heared him.

"WHAT!? You know the law, never ever mention my brothers name, in my presence." Scar hissed, moving in on the cage. "I am the KING!" he roared. Zazu pulled back to the wall.

"Yes sire you are the king." he confirmed, worried that Scar would kill him now.

"Hey boss, we gotta bone to pick with you!" yelled Banzai as him and his sister Shenzi and their brother Ed entered the cave.

"Oh, what is it now?!" Scar hissed, not wanting to deal with those idiots.

"I'll handle this. Scar, there's no food." Shenzi started.

"Yeah, it's dinner time, and we an't got no entre!" Banzai yelled in frustration.

"It's the lionessess job to hunt!" Scar hissed, wanting them to leave.

"Yeah but, they won't go hunt!" Banzai cried. Scar sighed.

"Oh...eat Zazu!" he growled. Immeditaly Zazu started to panic.

"Oh you don't want me, i'm all string and..." he started, but Scar just laughed.

"Oh Zazu don't be rediculous." he said, trying to get them all to shut up. He really wouldn't have let them eat Zazu, he still had to keep that bird around for leverage over Sarabi, scince she wouldn't let Mufasa's friend get devoured so easily. They all were yeling now. "Oh just get out!" he yelled. The hyena's started out, but Banzai turned back to him one last time.

"Yeah but, we're still hungrey." he said.

"OUT!" roared Scar, and the hyena's fled. Scar started pacing back and forth. He was frustrated, were the lionessess planning an uprising. What would be the best way to bring them all back under control?!

"I have an idea if your interested." came a voice. Scar and Zazu turned to see a large black pantheress enter the cave. Scar glared at her. How did she know what he was thinking?! "My name is Arikura and I beleive we have a common goal that we can work towards." she said. Scar glared.

"I don't need your's or anyother's help!" Scar hissed, annoyed at the guts of this strange female cat to barge into his kingdome.

"Not yet, but then again you don't know who has entered your kingdom now do you?" she asked. He gave her a weary look. "Nine extreamly strong opponents have entered your kingdom. They have been known for being much stronger than they appear and have already defeated three people who have tried to take over kingdoms." she said. Scar gave her an odd look. He didn't know weither he should beleive her or not. She was a stranger, and it was odd for someone to be just handing out sensitive information like that. But if she was telling the truth, then she was implying that these people would topple the throne he killed his brother for. "They are known as the Straw Hat's. I beleive if we work together then we can destroy your problem and mine. What do you say?" she asked. Scar looked her over.

"I guess it couldn't hurt to hear you out on what you have to say." he said. She pushed forward a strange looking fruit.

"This is all you need!" she said. He gave her an odd look, but decided to trust this woman, and devoured the fruit. Out side, the hyena's heared painful screams and roars, and they shivered in fear as to what would happen next.

Simba arrived on the ridge overlooking the pride lands. He sighed in despair as he looked at the barren lands that his uncle had turned them into. Taking a deep breath he steaded himself ready to attack and defeat his uncle to take back his land. "Simba!" came a call. He turned to see Nala, Timon, Pumba, Zoro, Robin, and Chopper.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"We cane to help!" Nala said.

"We're gonna fight your uncle...for this?" Timon asked, looking at the landscape. Simba laughed.

"Yes Timon, this is where I grew up." he said. Timon sighed.

"Well if it's important to you, then it is to us too!" Timon said. Simba smiled, then he looked up at the others.

"Why are you helping?" he asked. Zoro shrugged his shoulders, not really caring.

"To tell the truth, helping you is the only lead to our captain, so until we find out otherwise, we're behind you too." Zoro said.

"Right!" Chopper said with a big smile, and Robin nodded too. Simba nodded.

"Thanks guys!" he said.

"We finally made it!" said Sanji as they reached the bottom of the Pride Rock. Brook and Franky nodded, Brook panting at a loss of breath.

"I am pretty winded from that run...although I have no lungs..." Brook started.

"We don't have time for that right now! We need to find the others." said Franky. SUddenly a huge growl sounded threwout the area.

"SARABI!"

Well there's that. I hope you like it! Next chapter is the strawhat's reunion!
