Zira was peacefully walking to her den when she was suddenly ambushed. Something was covering her eyes and something was placed over her mouth. They felt like paws but she couldn't identify them. Zira was being carried through the jungle until she was pinned up against a tree. When she could see, Shere Khan was in front of her. She looked around her and she was being pinned up against a tree by her new 'friends'. Baloo held her back left leg. Kaa wrapped himself around her back right leg and his tail was wrapped around Bagheera's body. Louis had her front left leg and Hathi had her front right leg.
"Zira, you are such a beautiful lioness. You don't deserve that trashy Taka." Shere Khan stroked her neck with his nail.
"Don't you dare touch me, Khan! Scar isn't trashy and...wait, did you call him Taka? Only his parents and Mufasa are allowed to call him Taka. How do you know his birth name?"
"While you were apologising to Scar, we saw a lion and lioness pass by our den. The Lion was talking about you and how you're the only friend Taka has ever had. The lioness starting saying that Taka has never been this happy before and he's changed a lot from changing his name from Taka to Scar. Also, Taka means garbage and he hated it so much that the coward changed his name."
"Don't ever call Scar Taka! Ahadi changed his name because he wanted to remind Scar of his humiliation!"
This stood out to Khan and he wanted to hear the story. "Why don't you share the story with us?"
"Never! You are not members of the Pride!"
"Boys. Pull."
Everyone who had a grip on Zira pulled her legs sbackwards as if they were tying her to the tree. She screamed out loud in pain. Khan signalled them to stop and he looked mad, as if Zira had lied to him and he found out the truth.
"You aren't a member of the Pride either so you should share it with us!"
"I am a member! It's war week! That's when I spend the week anniversary of the fight which killed my Pride in my den! Ahadi said it was okay! I'm going back home to Priderock tomorrow!"
"I don't think you'll be going home anytime soon."
"I think I will be! You can't stop me!"
"Ooh, I like them feisty." Khan nodded to his friends. "Pull."
Again they pulled.
"Aaaaaahhh!. SCAR! AHADI! MUFASA! Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Zira screamed.
*At the peak of Priderock.*
"Hey Dad, did you here that?" Scars ears pricked up when he heard a faint scream from the jungle.
"No. What did you hear, Taka?"
"Zira. Screaming for us and Mufasa. She's in trouble! We have to help her!"
"Go find Mufasa. I'll get you Mother and some of our toughest lionesses." Ahadi instructed. He went to the bottom of Priderock and Scar went into the main den were Mufasa was taking a nap.
"Mufasa!"
"What do you want? I'm trying to sleep."
"Zira is in trouble. Dad said we need to help her."
"Really, if Dad says so." Mufasa stood up. "If she wasn't a member of the Pride, I wouldn't help."
"Thanks bro." Scar smiled at him.
"Mufasa, Taka come on."
Everyone raced through the Savannah until they reached Zira's den. Scar snook in to find her but he came out and said she wasn't there. Ahadi ordered everyone to spread out to try to find her.
*Back in the jungle.*
"Tell us the story, Zira!" Shere Khan was getting really angry now.
"No! Aaaaahhhhh!" Zira felt like her legs were about to pop out.
"It's no use screaming. No one will save you." Kaa laughed.
"Ahadi will save me! He's the King! He has a lot of loyalty and courage!"
"Zira! Are you around here?" Mufasa's voice could be heard.
"Mufasa! I'm here! Help!"
"Dad, I've found her!"
All of the Pride emerged from the trees. The lionesses and Uru circled the scared Zira and he animals holding her hostage.
"What are you creatures?" Ahadi growled.
"Hello I'm Shere Khan and I'm a tiger." Shere Khan introduced himself casually but he cut back to his original mood. "This cub doesn't move until she tells us!"
"Tells you what? Let my friend go!" Scar tried to copy his Father and succeeding at it.
"Not until she tells us how Taka got his scar."
"I don't know who Taka is. Taka left along time ago." Scar didn't make eye contact.
"If that's the case." Khan snapped his fingers.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Zira was pouring with tears of pain and she felt like she was going to loose her legs.
"Release Zira immediately! Do you know who I am?" Ahadi stood up straight.
"Uuuummm...are you the ugly elephant?"
All of his friends giggled at Shere Khans joke. Mufasa lunged at Shere Khan and wrestled him until Shere Khan had him back to back with one of the most poisonous plant in Africa, Drimia.
"Nobody else moves or they both get it!"
"Mufasa!" Scar was worried for his brother. "If I tell you the story, will you let them go?" Scar finally made eye contact with Shere Khan.
"Yes. I will."
"Then I'll tell you the story."
"Drop her fellas."
The cubs obeyed. They dropped Zira and she struggled to stand up. Ahadi picked her up and lay her on Uru's back who walked over to Scar. Shere Khan backed away from Mufasa who sprinted towards Ahadi.
"Now, the story Scar."
"Not today losers! Run!"
The Pride ran out of the jungle towards Priderock. Shere Khan and his friends charged after them. Bagheera took the lead and when he caught up with Uru, he pounced. Bagheera was trying to pull Zira off of Uru's back. Ahadi slowed down and pushed Bagheera away. Shere Khan, Louis and Bagheera battled Ahadi until they had him in a good position.
"Oooooh Taka! Tell us the story or they both get it."
Scar looked around."Who's the other half of they?" Shere Khan smiled a sinister smile.
As soon as those words left his mouth, Hathi matched over to Uru, whacked Zira off her back and dragged Uru over too Ahadi where he and Baloo restraint her.
"Kaa, explain." Shere Khan looked at Kaa.
"With pleasure. You see Scar, us Pythons are so strong, our enemies die from our squeezes. You either tell us the story or these idiots DIE!"
Scar thought for a minute but he felt pressured since the whole crowd was starring at him. Nobody was allowed to know the story, especially when theyre not a part of the Pride. Mufasa looked nervous. He didn't want his parents to die. Finally a light bulb switched on in his head. He stood in front of Scar.
"Have you volunteered to die as well? Very well." Shere Khan smiled again.
"No. Scar doesn't want to share his humiliation."
"That's fine. Squeeze Kaa." Kaa obeyed and he wrapped himself around Urus neck and started squeezing it. Mufasa held Scar back as he tried to get to his parents.
"Mum! Dad! No! Fight back! I know you're strong enough!" He saw Uru drop dead on the floor.
"No! Dad! Please don't leave me! I need you!" Mufasa was heartbroken that his Mum had died. He wanted to let Scar go but he stayed strong.
"Please can I say my final good byes to my boys?" Ahadi asked Khan. "Forever can spare a minute."
"Fine." Khan let Scar and Mufasa hug Ahadi.
"Mufasa, I have taught you how to be King and next month, you will be coronated."
"But Father, I'm not ready and I..."
"Don't say that. You are ready and you will be a marvellous King. Choose whichever lioness you want to be your Queen."
"Yes Father." They hugged and Ahadi moved onto Scar.
"Taka, I know the way I've treated you has been terrible. I've been a bad Father. I want to take this moment to tell you that I'm so proud of you. You're strong, brace and so independant, just like Uru." Ahadi smiled at the Queens dead body next to him. "I love you both so much and Scar, you'll be the leader of The Lion Guard. It's my time to go boys. I love you and I'll always be here with you in your hearts. Look up to the stars at night and we will be able to see each other again." Scar and Mufasa hugged him as Kaa slithered over too Ahadi, wrapped himself around his neck and squeezed. Ahadi dropped dead next to Uru.
"Father! No! I never got to tell you how much you meant to me." Scar cried as!ufasa escorted him to Priderock.
