Author's Notes: I only own Fang, nothing else.
Chapter 3: Stampede and Aftermath
"Man I hate lions! I won't be able to sit for a week thanks to Mufasa." complained Banzai.
"HAHAHAHA." laughed Ed.
"Hey shut up!"
"Pffft...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Banzai growls before he tackles Ed and yipping and barking erupt from the two's roller-brawl.
"Would you two knock it off?" barked Shenzi.
"Well, he started it!" said Banzai pointing to Ed who was chomping on his own hind leg before he stopped and drool hung from his open mouth.
"It's no wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain."
"Man, I hate dangling."
"And lions."
"They're so pushy."
"And hairy."
Both: "And man are they uuuuuuugggggly! *Both laugh then freeze*"
"Oh, surely we lions are not all that bad." said Scar from atop a rocky platform.
"Oh, Scar, it's just you." said Banzai.
"Yeah, we were afraid it was somebody important." said Shenzi.
"Yeah, you know, like Mufasa."
"Charmed." said Scar sarcastically.
"Now that's power." said Banzai.
"Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shiver." said Shenzi.
"Mufasa!"
"Oooooooh! Do it again!"
"Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa!"
"Oooooooooh [Breaks into laughter] And it tingles me!"
"I'm surrounded by idiots!" mumbled Scar messaging his temples.
"Hey, hey, Scar! Did you bring us anything to eat? Huh?! Buddy, old pal, didya, didya, didya?!" said Banzai.
"I pretty much handed those cubs right to you and you couldn't even dispose of them." said Scar dropping a Zebra leg down to them which they ravenously dug into.
"[Muffled] Well, it's not like they were alone Scar." said Shenzi before she dug back into the leg.
"Yeah...*Swallows chunk of meat*...what're we supposed to do? Kill Mufasa?"
"Precisely." said Scar giving a sinister grin.
Banzai and Shenzi: "Huh?"
Scar jumps off the platform, between two rocks and lands on the zebra bone, smashing into the ground and geysers give off green gas.
[Be Prepared Music]
Scar: ~I know your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention!
My words are a matter of pride
It is clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
*Banzai and Shenzi laugh before they jump back into geysers*
Even you can't be caught unawares~
Banzai: "WHAO!"
Shenzi: "AHH!"
~So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news~
Banzai and Shenzi: "AAAHH!"
~A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer~
Shenzi: ~And where do we feature?~
Scar: ~Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared~
Ed: "AAAAH!"
S: ~Be prepared!~
Banzai: "Yeah, be prepared.
Yeah-heh...we'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?"
Scar: "For the death of the king."
Banzai: "Why? Is he sick?"
Scar: "No fool! We're going to kill him. And Simba, too."
Shenzi: "Great idea! Who needs a king?!"
Shenzi then Banzai joins in: "No king! La-la-la-la-laa-laa!"
Scar: "Idiots! There will be a king!"
Banzai: "Hey, but you said, uh..."
S: "I will be king!...Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!"
Shenzi and B: "Yaay! All right! Long live the king!"
Other Hyenas join in: "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
[Music picks up]
Hyena Army (while doing the German High-Step(1): ~It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.~
S: ~Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point I must emphasize is~
*Jumps down in front of a hyena*
~YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!~
Hyena: "AAH!"
~So prepare for the coup of the century~
(Oooh!)
~Be prepared for the murkiest scam~
(Ooooh...La! La! La!)
~Meticulous planning~
(We'll have food!)
~Tenacity spanning~
(Lots of food)
~Decades of denial~
(We repeat)
~Is simply why I'll~
(Endless meat)
~Be king undisputed~
(Aaaaaaaaah...)
~Respected, saluted~
(...aaaaaaaaaaaaaah...)
~And seen for the wonder I am~
(...aaaaaaaaaah!)
~Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
~Be prepared!~
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed plus Chorus(2): ~Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!~
[Music Ends]
*Evil Laughter fills the night air*
Next Day; Gorge
"So Uncle Scar, what's the surprise?" asked Simba as he followed his uncle.
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise." said Scar chuckling somewhat.
"If you tell me, I'll still act surprised."
"No, no, no, no, no. It's just for you and your daddy, you know, sort of father...son thing. Well, I better go get him."
"I'll come with you."
"NO! [Regains composure] Heh, no. You just stay up here on this rock. Besides, you wouldn't want to wind up in another mess like you did with those hyenas, right?"
"You know about that?"
"Simba, everybody knows about that. Oh, by the way, you may want to work on that little roar of yours okay?"
"Oh, okay."
Scar begins walking off to "get Simba's father".
"Hey Uncle Scar. Will I like the surprise?"
"Simba, it's to die for!"
Meanwhile on top of the gorge, three certain hyenas wait in the shadows near a her of wildebeests.
*Stomach growls*
"Hey shut up!" barked Banzai to his stomach.
"Quiet!" snapped Shezi.
"I can't help it! I'm so hungry...I gotta have a wildebeest!"
"Stay put!"
"Can't I have one of the little sick ones?"
"NO! We wait for the signal from Scar."
Scar then comes into view on a rock.
"There he is. Let's go." said Shenzi and the three move in. Meanwhile, back in the Gorge.
"Little roar. Puh!" mumbled Simba to himself before a chameleon walks into view.
*Weak meow-like roar*
The chameleon does nothing.
*Weak roar*
Still nothing
*LOUD WEAK ROAR*
The chameleon scurries away due to the loudness and a echo resounds across the Gorge and Simba smiles before he hears rumbling and sees pebbles "dancing". He looks up to see the wildebeest herd charging towards him and he freezes but only for a second before he takes off running trying to get away from the stampeding herd. He is soon overrun and climbs up a tree to get away from the stampede.
A fair distance away, Mufasa and Zazu are walking around.
"Oh look sire, the herd is on the move." said Zazu pointing towards the herd.
"Odd..." mutters Mufasa before the sound of panting reaches his ears.
"Brother! Stampede...in the Gorge...Simba's down there!" gasped Scar showing "concern and fear" for his nephew.
"Simba...?"
Both lions take off for the Gorge followed by Fang from the skies. The Lion/Draong Hybrid flew down into the Gorge and spotted Simba clinging tightly to a tree.
"Fang, help!" cried Simba.
"Hang on buddy! I'll get help!" said Fang before he took off but somehow a rather large pebble struck one of his wings and he plummeted into herd and he somehow managed to dodge the hooves of the panicking herd and he got into a crevice that shielded him from the herd. Zazu then flew into the Gorge and found Simba.
"Zazu help me!" yelled Simba trying to get a better grasp.
"Your father's on the way! Hold on!" said Zazu flying off.
"Hurry!"
Mufasa and Scar slid down the cliff wall and came to a pathway that overlooked the herd and Zazu arrived on the scene.
"There! In that tree!" said Zazu pointing at the tree.
"Hang on Simba!" yelled Mufasa as a wildebeest smashed into the tree, weakening it and almost Simba to lose his grip.
"AAAH!" screamed Simba in panic.
Mufasa jumped down and ran towards the tree going against the stampeding herd's "flow."
"This is awful Scar! What do we do?!Whatdowedo?!WhatI'lldo?! I know! I fly back for help, I'll-OOF!" said Zazu hurriedly before Scar smacked him into the rock wall knocking him out. Scar watched with glee as his brother tried to save Simba by putting him on a rock ledge above the herd only to get struck and pulled into wildebeest "river" and then jump out and climb up a rock wall where he was waiting.
"Scar! Broth-brother! Help me!" said Mufasa as his claws were losing their grip. Scar looked indifferent before he lunged forward and put his claws into his brother's paws, drawing blood.
"Long live the king!" growled Scar in his brother's face before he threw him off the ledge.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" screamed Mufasa as he fell towards the herd.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Simba watching his father fall.
30 Mintues Later
Fang climbed out of the crevice and shook the dust out of his fur and looked around following the sounds of crying. He followed the sound until he saw Scar crying over the dead body of his brother.
"Scar?" said Fang cautiously and the lion's head shot up.
"You! You could have saved my nephew and then my brother wouldn't be dead!" snapped Scar at Fang.
"I-I don't see Simba's body. M-maybe he-AAAAAAAHHH!" screamed Fang as Scar swiped his claws across Fang's face.
"Don't you even mention my nephew's name! He didn't live! He was impaled on a wildebeest's horn after Mufasa dropped him when climbing up the cliff, in his panic he lost his hold and plummeted to his death! As the king's brother and his son's uncle, I now take the throne and ban you from stepping foot on Pride Rock, penalty is death! I also ban you from talking to anybody of the pride!" snapped Scar tears in his eyes.
Fang clutching the right side of his face, took off running and never looked back. Scar wiped his tears away and took the Grammy handed to him.
"Thank you, I do love my fans." said Scar happily before he walked towards Pride Rock to deliver the wonderful, ur um "terrible" news he corrected himself.
Water Hole; 2 Hours Later
Fang looked at his reflection in the water. Three scars ran across his right eye horizontally, blood still leaking from them. He tensed when he heard the grass rustling behind him.
"Fang?" came the voice of Nala and he relaxed.
"Hi Nala." said Fang not turning around.
"You okay?"
"No...no I'm not." said Fang still not turning around.
"It's not your fault Fang. I still consider you a friend, as do some of the lionesses. Don't go back into hiding Fang. I'll keep in touch." said Nala before she walked away.
"He's not dead." muttered Fang under his breath as he looked at his reflection.
