Author's Notes: I only own Fang. This chapter was originally a "deleted" chapter in the original but I decided to add it. Expect some gory scenes here so this chapter I suppose would be rated "M".
Chapter 4: Fang's Teen Years in the Shadow Lands (Pride Lands under Scar)
Fang growled lightly as he dragged the dead hyena back to his small cave which he was rapidly outgrowing but could he find a better one? No, Scar pretty much forbid that. The hyena was dead because its face was burnt to crisp with the skull showing through the burnt flesh. His previous kill had been an antelope but the hyenas had stolen it, but not without losses in their numbers.
+FLASHBACK+
Fang growled as a hyena lunged at him only to have his face ripped off by the Lion/Dragon's claws. One managed to get on his back but was instantly thrown off and had its throat crushed then brutally ripped out in a shower of blood. Fang then spit a fireball at a charging hyena, igniting its fur and it screamed in agony as its flesh was slowly burned. Fang then turned back to his prize but found three hyenas dragging it away. With a roar that was a mix of a teenage dragon and a lion, he charged after them and one of the foolish creatures tried to hold him off only to be crippled by having all but one leg broken in the ensuing scuffle.
Fang looked down at the bleeding and beating hyena with no inch of pity.
"Hmmm, what should I do with you?" said Fang putting on a thoughtful pose.
"Let me go?" said the hyena in a lame attempt to survive.
"Hmmm...no. I have a better idea." said Fang before he inhaled and let loose a torrent of fire, causing the hyena to scream in pain as its face was slowly burnt off. After roughly ninety seconds, the hyena quit thrashing and screaming in pain and lied there limply. Fang then slowly slit the hyena's throat as he had a sadistic gleam in his eyes.
+END FLASHBACK+
Fang stopped at the entrance to his cave and begin ripping chunks of flesh off the dead hyena.
*Grass Rustles*
"If its another hyena trying to steal my lunch, I didn't know they were cannibals." said Fang, his voice filled with annoyance.
"No hyenas here." said a familiar voice and he relaxed.
Nala walked out of the tall grass near his small cave and looked at the dead hyena with some disgust but let it go.
"Glad you could finally visit Nala." said Fang, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Do you have to be so mean Fang?"
"Hmmm, considering I can no longer visit Pride Rock where most of my previous friends were, I have to deal with hyenas constantly stealing my meals which results in them BECOMING my meal...then yeah, I have to be somewhat mean. I'm isolated, I'm constantly attacked, no friends...you try dealing with all the pressure!"
Nala backs up somewhat and Fang draws in a deep breath.
"Sorry...since that day, I've...become somewhat sarcastic." said Fang calmly.
"Try 'very sarcastic'." said Nala trying to lighten the now tense mood.
"So how are things back on Pride Rock, now that Scar has taken over?"
"Terrible. He lets the hyenas boss us around, everyday we have to 'cater' to them, and they hunt more than they need. The grass is dying more and more everyday, heck even the water is drying up."
"Oh, little miss perfect swore." teased Fang smirking.
"Oh shut up."
Suddenly hyena laughter fills the air and Fang turns towards Nala.
"Get out of here." said the lion/dragon calmly and the lioness nods before she runs off and hides.
A large group of hyenas walk into view and Fang glares at them.
"Ready for another beat down freak?" said the lead hyena with a sneer.
"Let's see how many I can kill today." said Fang nonchalantly.
*Lion/dragon roar*
*Hyenas yelping*
Nala looked away as blood splattered against the cave's outside walls, painting the yellow rock formation crimson and she tried drown out the agonized cries of the hyenas as Fang ripped them apart in a way that cannot be described due to this story's rating (in other words, the scene A for "Adult" and I'd rather not go above an M rating).
The lead hyena backed away slowly from Fang as the adolescent lion/dragon advanced on him.
"What was that about a beat down?" said Fang glaring at the hyena with bloodlust.
The hyena begins whimpering in fear as he's backed up into a wall with no way to escape. Fang raised a paw, unsheathing the claws hidden in his paws which were sharper than your average lion's and brought them down on the hyena.
Meanwhile in the Jungle...
Simba was relaxing on a sun-bathed rock when...
"{Distant} AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A pained scream reached his ears and he looked around before he shrugged and went back to reclining.
"Probably my mind playing tricks on me..." muttered the lion under his breath.
END CHAPTER
Sorry it took me so long to update and sorry if this chapter is short. I'm somewhat low on ideas for this remake but I am trying my best. Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to read, review, follow, and/or favorite.
