Hey everybody, so this chapter is going to be a bit shorter than the rest because I want to get Thai out of the way first before the big fight..and I'm going to enjoy the fight alot!
anyway, let's get started!
To RonaldM40196867: She does. Yep. Happy belated B-Day dude. I like how relatable he is and how he overcomes his grief (sorta, he still shows some signs of it in the sequel.) boy...I have no idea, maybe a cat or a dog. Mickey possibly.
to Gamelover41592: I just edited it to include the stick joke.
to Jacob9594: I thought it would be best to include that as well because I look back and realize that Blake and Sibm both ran away for a similar reason. both had loved ones who got hurt because of them apparently, and they figured everyone would be safer if they weren't there. Ruby does have that type of personality, he has come a long way from the shy girl who married at Beacon.
To Robbeeyy: I know, , I just don't want to get in trouble you know? I mean I know disclaimers are alright but sometimes even they don't work.
To ArguableReader: I know...I'm trying to scan as much as possible, even the small things get past my eye. and Grammarly doesn't help that much with the bigger issues.

Pride Rock
Scar was lounging down in his throne room munching on a bone, beside him was a moderately sized hornbill with blue feathers that had navy blue wingtips. His chest and neck were white, and he had a navy blue crest and a bright red beak with black eyes. This was Zazu, the assistant to the king, or more accurately called the king's majordomo, locked up in a bone cage.
Zazu was once the loyal assistant to Mufasa, always beginning in the early report of what goes on in the Pride Lands, and he also had the misfortune of watching Simba whenever he was asked to…which was difficult due to Simba being a handful when he was a young cub.
Looking back on those days, Zazu would do anything to relieve them…instead of being a prisoner to a mad king ...and a part of him felt bad as well. For he went with Mufasa and Scar down to the gorge on the day of the stampede, he wanted to go back and get some help, but he was knocked into a wall and fell unconscious.
A part of him felt horrible because during that…he felt as if he let his king down, he let Simba down….he let the Pride Lands down too. However, there was another part of him where he was a bit confused, as he was with Scar right as he was panicking, and he was attacked. Now he knew Scar was a bit untrustworthy, but he wouldn't have done that to him ...would he.
"Hey, boss!" Scar sighed in annoyance as he turned to see Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed approaching him in the cave, and Pete was with them as well.
"What do you want now?" Sca asked in annoyance.
Shenzi rolled her eyes. "What do you think? There's no food, no water."
"Yeah it's dinner time for us," Banzai began. "And there ain't no entrées!" He said with mild annoyance, with Ed nodding his head in agreement.
"And I was scouting the area, and it seems those lazy lions don't want to go out and hunt," Pete said. "Though then again…given how this place looks, I doubt there's any food anyway…" He thought.
Scar sighed. "Alright then, Zazu can be your dinner." He said, making the hornbill gasp in shock.
'Wait, no, no. no!" He frantically said. "You don't want to eat me! I-I tried me before, I don't taste good and will give you indigestion!" But his blabbering made the hyenas cackle and for Scar to roll his eyes.
"Fine then.." Scar said with annoyance in his voice. "I will go speak to Sarabi and deal with the matter." He said as he began to strut out of Pride Rock. As he did so, his look turned dark. "I'm getting sick and tired of these idiots moaning and groaning." He thought. "I swear if the lionesses haven't brought back anything…then I will have no choice but to feed them to the hyenas." As he thought of this, the dark mist started to radiate off of him.
Savannah
Simba and the others walked through the barren wasteland. The sight made Simba look with horror and shock. This place was once so full of green and life. He and Nala would come here and play a lot..and now it's nothing more but a wasteland.
"I can't believe this,'' Simba said as his face was a mix of anger and sorrow. "How could Scar let things go like this?" He asked as they all looked around.
"Guess he figured to let all the lionesses and hyenas do most of the work while he sat around on his lazy ass." Sun said, with the others nodding their heads in agreement. As they continued to make their way, they took notice of the familiar sight….Pride Rock.
"Wow…so that's your home?" Pumbaa asked, with Simba nodding his head. "Looks nice." He said.
"Thanks," Simba said as he then walked right alongside a rock to see his home ... .a home he has to see is such a long, long, long time. Going into ruin thanks to Scar. Simba sighed as he looked towards the rock. "I ran away because I was afraid that I would be horrible at it...for what happened to my father." But then Simba's frown turned into a determined frown. "But I'm done running away!" He said. "This is my home, and I won't allow Scar to ruin it any more than he, the hyenas, and the Heartless already have."
"And don't forget," Sora said as he and the others went up alongside him. "We'll be with you the whole way." He said with a grin as the others nodded their heads.
Simba smiled at them all as he then looked out to Pride Rock with the others looking on as well. "It's time to go back home." Simba said with determination.
Pride Rock
The group had to sneak their way through the lands to get close enough. Rafiki went back to his tree for a while but said that he would catch up a little later. Meanwhile, the group was right near the end, but unfortunately, there was a large crowd of hyenas there, mostly either sleeping or eating.
"Hyenas," Groaned Timon. "I hate, hate, hyenas!"
"Tell us about it." Ruby said. "So, does anybody have a plan to distract them?"
"Live bait," Simba said to them. And when he said that, the group (minus Nala) gave him a look that screamed 'ARE YOU CRAZY'? Simba noticed their looks and rolled his eyes. "C'mon, guys, some of you need to create a diversion."
Timon scoffed. "Oh yea? And what do you want me to do? Dress up in drag, and do the hula?" He asked.
Sora thought it over and he gave a small smile. "Maybe not the hula…but something else."
(A.N. Sorry guys, I wanted to do the hula scene, but you know...I don't want to get in trouble…sorry :()
10 minutes later….
"YO!" The hyenas that were resting quickly turned their heads to see Timon and Pumbaa, who was laying down as if he was being served with an apple in his mouth. "Hyenas! Are you tired of going hungry for long periods? Are you tired of not getting enough to eat?" He asked. "Well, then you're in luck because my buddy Pumbaa is all yours and ready to feed you!" He said.
That was when the hyenas' mouths began to drool and started to creep onto them. "Let me tell you guys, Pumbaa here is loaded with all the vitamins and minerals you need for strong healthy bones! And let me tell ya, you need some meat on you."
"Oh yes…" The hyenas said in unison as they licked their lips. As they walked, Simba and the rest of them (sans Donald) were sneaking behind them all and watching.
"But wait a minute there!" Making the hyenas look confused. "If you get Pumbaa, you'll also receive…me!" Timon said with a smile. "One healthy meerkat, pick me and Pumbaa all for the price of nothing? What do you say?" He asked.
He didn't even need to say anything else because as soon as he placed himself up, the hyena's mouths drooled even more and stalked right to them slowly. Timon was shaking a bit out of nervousness, and so was Pumbaa.
"Now, just one more thing." Timon said with a bit of nervousness in his voice, making the hyenas groan and stop once again. "Before you eat us...I have one last thing to say." He said, making the hyenas raise their eyebrows. "It's one fabulous word called….HAKUNA MATATA!" He shouted when Donald suddenly flew into view and raised his staff with his talons.
"THUNDAGA!" He shouted as then a large thunderbolt came down and struck all the hyenas. The mangy mutts screamed in agony and pain as the lightning coursed through their furry bodies. Then after a good few minutes, they were down, shaking and injured, the lightning making them twitch a bit.
"Good work, guys." Simba said with a smile as Timon, Donald, and Pumbaa walked right up to them. And they made their way to a part of the rock. "Ok, Nala…you, Ruby, Ortensia, Sun, Stitch, Timon, and Pumbaa look for my mother and round up the other lionesses, we're going to need all the help we can get if we are to take on the hyenas and Heartless."
"What about you?" Nala asked him.
Simba looked determined. "The others and I will go look for Scar." He said as he looked at everybody. "Is everyone alright with that?" He asked. Everybody seems alright with their positions. "Alright, let's do this." He said as everybody split up.
Simba and his group were closer right to the very edge, above the rock platform, where Scar was standing and looking out. "SARABI!" He shouted, making the others gasp a bit before looking down to see the lioness mentioned by name walking up to him. There were hyenas in rows barking and snapping at her, but she paid no attention or mind to any of them.
"Mother…" Simba said with sadness and despair. It's been such a very long time since h has seen her…and now she was stuck in this predicament
"Simba," Oswald said to him. "We're going to put a stop to this." He said, trying to cheer him up.
Sarabi then went up to him. "Yes, Scar?" She asked him.
Scar however was not amused. "Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job, and the hyenas are moaning and groaning." He said.
Sarabi sighed. "Scar, we have told you many times that the herds have moved on. There is no food."
Scar however refused to believe her. "No! You and the rest of the lionesses are just not looking hard enough!"
"Scar, it's over…there's nothing left." Sarabi said to him, now a bit more loudly before sighing. "If they have moved on then we have no choice but to leave Pride Rock."
Scar however glared at her hard. "We're not going anywhere!"
Sarabi was now angry. "Than you very well sentenced the entire Pride to death! And as much as I dislike the hyenas, you sentenced them to death as well!"
"Then so be it!" Scar snarled at her. He doesn't care what would happen, if Sarabi and the other lionesses aren't going to do their job, then so be it. "You refuse to hunt? Then you're the ones putting yourselves to death!"
Sarabi gasped. "You can't do that!"
Scar scoffed. "I am the king! I can do whatever I please!"
Sarabi however wouldn't back down. "If you were half the king that Mufasa-"
"I'm TEN TIMES the king Mufasa was!" Scar exclaimed.
"You will NEVER be compared to Mufasa, you tyrant!" Sarabi snarled at him. This made Scarl growl even further as he then…
SLAP
He used his paw to hit Sarabi right in the face, causing her to go backward, the hyenas saw and roared with laughter. But someone didn't appreciate that at all.
"*ROAR*" Scar looked up to see a grown lion growling and roaring right down at him and his eyes winded...it was..no, it couldn't be…Mufasa? "Mufasa? Yo-you should be dead!" He exclaimed as the lion then came down along with his companions.
Simba saw what had happened and he was not too happy, and he and the others went over to the downed Sarabi. Simba then used his muzzle to gently push her away, and as such she began to open her eyes.
"Bastard…" Sora thought in anger as he glared hard at Scar, who recognized them and his eyes winded.
Sarabi then turned to see Simba, and in confusion, she muttered. "Mufasa?" Did she die? Is she with her husband once more?
Simba gave a small solemn smile and shook his head. "No mother, it's me." He said.
Sarabi's eyes wined a bit and she smiled. "Simba…you're alive? But…how could that be?"
Simba however shook his head. "It doesn't matter now, I'm home, and I'm taking back my rightful place." He said as he and Sarabi nuzzled each other, Mother and son had reunited.
The scar was shocked. Simba? Alive? How could that be true? He thought-nope, he had to play it cool. "Simba!" Scar said with a smile. "It's so nice to see you…alive." He said he glanced up to give a glare to Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, who simply gulped and nervously backed off.
Simba however glared hard at Scar and prowled towards him, with the others standing behind to help Sarabi up. "You better give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you to shreds."
That threat alone, along with Simba's piercing glare made Scar back up a bit in fear. "Now Simba, Simba, you have to understand. You see…the pressure of running an entire kingdom-"
"Aren't out anymore, stand down Scar." Simba said sternly.
Scar then chuckled. "Oh, believe me, I would do so..but uh…you see them?" He said pointing up to a bunch of hyenas looking down with evil grins on their faces. "And them?" He pointed to his left to see a bunch of Heartless standing by as well. "They all think I'm the king." but Simba was not intimidated in the slightest.
"Well, we don't!" They all turned to see Nala and her group coming up with a bunch of the lionesses with them. "Simba is the true king of the Pride Lands!" She exclaimed as the others nodded their heads in agreement.
Simba turned back to Scar. "The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or we fight."
Scar however sighed. "Oh, must this all end in violence?" He asked as he then walked away from Simba. "I would hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn't you agree, Simba?"
"That's not going to work on me, Scar...I put the past behind me." Simba said.
Scar smirked. "Oh? And what about your subjects and little friends? Hmm?" He asked as he smiled at the lionesses, who glared at him. But Nala, Sora, and the others knew better.
"Those mind games are going to work on us, buddy!" Timon said to him.
Sarabi however was a bit confused. "Simba…what is he talking about?" She asked.
Simba looked a bit nervous, he wanted to tell them all right now…but he could feel that dark place coming back to him. "Well go on, tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death." Scar said to him.
Simba…still feeling as if he were at fault, put his head down. "I am.." He said, much to the lionesses' shock. Of course, Nala knows it was an accident, but Sarabi didn't know that and neither did the other lionesses.
Sarabi then went right up to her son and gave him pleading eyes. "It's not true." she said to him. "Please, tell me that it's not true." She pleaded.
Simba wanted to tell her no, but alas, he felt like what happened to Mufasa was his fault. And with a heavy sigh, he said. "Sorry mother…but it's true." gaining shock for her and the other pride (sans Nala and the others)
"You see?" Scar exclaimed. "He admits his crime! Murderer."
Simba shook his head though. "No, it was an accident." He pleaded, but Scar was having none of it.
"If it weren't you, Mufasa would still be alive. Do you deny it?"
"No, but I'm-"
"Then you're guilty!" Scar snarled, now trekking towards Simba, who was backing up. "Causing your father to die! How could you be so heartless?" He asked, as now he had some Heartless with him as well.
"No, I'm not a murderer!" Simba exclaimed. But Scar was not turned in the slightest.
"Oh Simba, you're in trouble again…and this time, Daddy ain't here to save you. And now everybody knows…WHY!" He yelled a bit.
Then Simba felt himself sliding and he then immediately slipped right off the rock.
"SIMBA!" Nala shouted in worry. Sora and the others made a dash attempt to rescue him, but the hyenas then immediately jumped down and blocked their paths.
"Going somewhere?" Banzai asked with a dark grin on his face.
"Get out of our way!" Sora exclaimed in anger. But then they heard some chuckling.
"Awe, the cute kitty worried about his pal?" They turned to see Pete smirking.
"You cowardly wretch! Hiding behind these mutts!" Max exclaimed. "Come out and we can settle this right now!"
"Aw, but why should I when the execution is about to begin?" the fat cat said with a smirk.
ZAP
Whether it was from fate or just a coincidence, a zap of lightning struck down on the ground, and hit some twigs…and it was causing a fire to spread super fast. Sibma was trying his hardest to climb back up, but he had some issues though.
Scar looked down and raised an eyebrow. "Hmm, this seems rather familiar." He said. "Now where have I seen this before?" He asked as Simba still struggled.
"Uncle, please!" Simba pleaded.
Scar then realized and smiled. "Oh yes, I remember now!" He said. "This is just the way your father looked….before he died." He said as he then used his paws and slammed right down on Simba's paws, his claws going right through Simba's paws, making the lion groan in pain. Scar leaned down and smirked. "And I want to share with you a little secret of mine." he then leaned down and his muzzle was close enough to his ear. "I killed Mufasa…" He whispered. "And now you're going to reunite with him."
But Simba didn't hear the last thing Scar said, because right when Scar revealed himself to be the killer of Mufasa, Simba's eyes winded, and remembered seeing his father falling off the cliff and getting trampled. Simba was now shaking with anger, and whether it was his father giving him strength or some other powerful force, he got the strength to push himself right up the cliff and landed right on Scar with fury.
"MURDERER!" He shouted in rage, making the other lionesses look shocked, but Nala and the others were not as shocked,
Scar was worried. "You see?" he said to the others. "He killed his father, and now he is going to kill me! His uncle! You must stop him!"
"Tell them the truth!" Simba said with anger in his voice.
Scar then tried to plead innocence. "Truth? But the truth is-'' but he was stopped by the pressure of Simba putting his paw on his neck, he looked up to see Simba staring very viciously at him. He knew he had to fess up. "Alright….I did it." He said with cold venom.
Simba was not amused though. "Louder, so everyone can hear you." He growled.
Scar was now shaking, all the complaints he was getting from the rest of the pride and the hyenas, the sight of his nephew still alive, and now want to take this away from him. He was furious…he was not going to put up with this. "I. Killed. MUFASA!" He roared loudly
So I know this chapter is a tad bit shorter than the others, but I want the fight to be saved for last. So stick around for it ;)
