(A/N: The beginning fight was based off Genndy Tartakovsky's fight scenes from Samurai Jack while the scenes involving Jasiri, Madoa and Kukuza whom I'm writing out of the story had an few parts adapted from the iCarly episode iFind Lewbert's Lost Love who is anything but love. The psychological meltdown later in the story was taken from Ang Lee's Hulk from 2003, there was some elements that I thought would work out for our protagonist about his trauma that's been repressed for some time. The next chapter as you guess contains a special song from an band that I cannot for the life of shit's sake figure out why they hate them so much, but it is a good song though and I've listened to it more than a couple of times. I've changed the idea of Kukuza's appearance to being Najira's appearance minus the details and motherly nature that made her superior over her, instead she painted herself to look like her and her true colors of course are now revealed. She's not all that bad but Jeyluxhal is in no mood to be anywhere or even in the same area as her, because the causes and effects is revealed; when I say that he's marking the territory, I don't mean that he's being like Hal Emmerich who wets his pants; he's smart enough not to wear them until he's finished. Lastly, we have a special guest from some other Disney franchise and though I really wanted to use a classic one as I feel that he's got an good chemistry with according to me; I'll just use a modern one from an show for this chapter since you gotta love references here, oh and just forget about what I said before mentioning the featured guest because he's not a Emmerich who wets himself. Enjoy)
Jeyluxhal was not one to be ravenous but in times of suppressing the inner demons he lusted for a lion as the insects that he wanted to try based on what Timon and Pumbaa eat has done little to sate his hunger, the ribcages of buffaloes kept him from experiencing a migraine and the goats he devoured were keeping up his strength a little. Kukuza was still there as she was longing to spend some time with her foster son who wanted nothing to do with her presence here, he goes as far as to pretend that she doesn't exist as he either breaks down in rage or at the worst case he becomes unstable. He went on to stay at Kuplinka's den to stay away from a beast like her, which led to a meeting between the two friends; he came over and seeing him standing there with no sign in his expression that he's going to run away again, he breathed a short breath out in relief as he curled his neck around his. "Your father told us about what had happened that night, he's at the brinking edge of being through with Kukuza; she's not whom she claims to be. How could the bravest of the Lion Guard introduce her to-" Jeyluxhal placed a paw on his mouth with an expression that told him that he knows, it's good to see him again as he returned his feelings; he'll take care of her soon but for now she hasn't seen him as the two of them have been meeting in secret to continue his training
Back in the present time he was driven under his ravenous lust for a lion as he looked for one to give him a challenge, finding a huge and powerful brute that matched the stature of one of the greatest kings who've lived before his fall at the wildebeest gorge; but he's nowhere to a split meter close to him as he carried his stature but not his personality. He was the perfect of all choices he had and so he sharpened his heavy hitting weapon made of medium sticks with hardened stones, elephant tusks that were lashed tightly and barbed with thorns; rocks that's jagged to the point and claws that stuck out along with bone spikes. Holding it with his mouth and heaving steadily, he made his move to slowly approach with light treading to his position for his lust to feast upon a lion will not be denied. Just then the lion turned around to slash at his face across as marks of blood appeared, he was waiting for the foolish hyena to attack him when pretended not to notice him. Jeyluxhal was not impressed as he held his kanabo above him, ready to swing his heavy hitting bat to strike and the lion unsheathed his claws fully as it was now a duel between the two primal predators
He came running in first on the offensive to swing his kanabo to strike at the lion's head with it dodging the first two swings, landing a few clawmarks on his skin to hit him as blood spurts came spiraling out onto the ground they fought on; using his father's training to stand against this opponent. He went paw to paw with the lion as he raised his claws to swipe him but was struck in the abdomen as his downward swipe missed, sweeping upward as he cut his throat lightly but got struck in the left forearm which caused him great pain when he yelled. Hyenas like him who wielded a weapon was something new but nothing that he couldn't beat, a fool relies on a tool while the primal ones use the tools that they were given. Jeyluxhal jumped a mile back to avoid the right claw swipe as he blocked his headbutt by holding his weapon in front of himself sideways, bashing him in the skull to swing his kanabo against the side of his head three times before landing a downward helm smash on the top. The lion retaliated with a forward lunge that was countered with a upward swing that struck him in the jaw, that sent him falling to the floor on the left where he kicked him in the leg and took him at the throat
Falling over he launched the lion off with a kick to send him behind where he stood back up, spinning with his kanabo to smash against the lion's right face before lunging forward to slam it on him again; but was countered with a swipe to the guts and punch to the jaw. This lion as he didn't have a name for himself took the kanabo club from his paws before kicking him off, using it against him as he came in to bash him. Jeyluxhal countered with his arms by smacking each strike off away from him while lunging to bite deeply into it's neck; making him drop the weapon that he took back and struck him hard in the chest. He leapt onto his back to stab and inflict great and painful wounds that had him roar in fury, shaking him off before he launched him off to send him flying against the tree that shook on impact. He would not be defeated as the two stood viciously, that was when the lion came in with an attack that he's not prepared for; a lightning fast pace that him strike all at once with a flurry of swipes as he fell back with a moment of struggling to block each one from his effort, scoring many slashes and cuts on a few parts of his body as he lost balance. He bit him at the leg and took him up in the tree for his deadly finisher, blocking the stab into his collarbone as he swung to the branch and used his kanabo to smack the lion down with him; landing on both hind paws
Another assault by him came as he was on the defense, he swung his kanabo in turn to keep him at bay but found himself swinging left and right at nothing as the lion was wise to stay a mile back from him; he was getting more and more exhausted as he knew, his weapon then weighted down his arms as he was heaving with his vocals giving off a growl from behind his barred fangs. Knowing that there was a position he knew of nearby, he made a fast dash with his pursuer keeping close by; the two of them scowling at each other driven under the primal instinct and it was him who was in control of the environment all around him. Knew the area where he can fight this lion without him gaining the upper hand, he was leading him into an trap where there was no escape from. Arriving at the falls he stood at the end of the cliff and kept a unbreakable scowl on his face, the lion was led to believe he had the advantage and it came to that he unwittingly backed himself into a dead end. He made his stand as he looked down and stabbed his kanabo to the bark of the tree nearby, it seemed he was giving victory over him to the lion and wondered if this meant he could take him as his meal
To the lion's disappointment Jeyluxhal had his paws clenched into fists as he stood on both of his hind legs though he was still hunched over, resorting to unarmed combat as fists were at the ready just as his opponent got into a more offensive stance. As there was risk of falling off Jeyluxhal lunged forward into the air and deeply clawed into the lion's face, blinding and taking his eyesight before the lion stabbed his claws into him; increasing the pain to kill him but preforming an headbutt to stun the wildcat and throwing him off before uppercutting in the jaw to send him backwards. He slammed him against the tree and blocked the blind claw swipes before ramming into his upperchest, a upperclaw followed next before being struck with multi-colored flashes that came when his eyes closed. He shoulder rammed him and in the instance blocked a backpaw to the floor as he instead bit the back of his neck to draw an quart of blood from him
Being thrown off to the tree but bouncing back to absorb the impact, he waited for him to get closer as he raised his claw to scratch him; but jumped into the air once his ear twitched some bit and perked to avoid being hit. Instead he landed a nasty kick to the jaw to break it, with an voluminous spit of blood as the sounds of bones cracking shattered the silence; he struck him blindly with a flurry of countless swipes three times but was kneed in the lower abdomen to inflict longer pain with a expression that told him to recover from that. He moved backwards to wait for another opportunity as the lion struggled to his hind paws, but recovered and ran just as Jeyluxhal balled his hand into a fist; stalking the bird like he was on his hunts before he lashed out and struck it down with merciless ease in his hunger. The lion rushed recklessly due to his blindness and once his ear twitched before perking to signify him that he was close as experienced from his own temporary blindness, he threw his paw forward as the punch to the side of his skull cracked the bone while his neck twisted; the sudden jarring twisted flesh on his neck tore with a spray of blood but he scratched the back of his neck in return when he fell. He was getting closer to death the more he fought but Jeyluxhal was more ravenous that he is, this is what Tabari felt back then when he hunted down a lion
The lion leapt onto his stomach to whom he threw off behind him to lunge in with his claws unsheathed, swiping against his right arm and another to his left hind leg to mirror his duel with Scar when he assaulted his queen Zira. Countering the third one through smacking the back of his paw to the side, he took him by the snout where his face was and smashed it with a sharp and jagged rock like a knife multiple times before smashing it one last time where it's strain from being smashed took on the full blunt strike and broke into pebbles to breathe an little more freely. Though that didn't mean he was able to take on anymore of this. He kicked the hyena away from him and took him by the back, jumping to knee him in the snout but in return was taken by the mane and smashed harder in the snout with a repeated knee strike to the snout more than once. Sending him to the nearest tree where Jeyluxhal ran and leapt to preform a flying kick to send him slamming harder against the bark of the tree where the kanabo was unlodged, but the lion got to the weapon first and blindly swung it against the hynea who built it. It was almost as if the two were evenly matched like he was to Scar but this time he will not take the loss again as he will have this lion down
Taking the kanabo to the shoulder as he growled under his breath, he disarmed the lion and glided his claws across his fur deeply upon punching him directly in the snout and the gut to reveal his skin underneath; launching him off and lunging forth to land a series of strikes that were as blunt as the bat itself. Mauling him to death before shoving some pebbles down it's throat. The lion was distracted in spitting them out while he gathered up the distance behind him, running and jumping forth to lunge after him with his fangs bared and claws extended outward to tackle him down to the floor, spraying medium droplets of blood when he dug his fangs into his skin and pounced on him further to hack up a bleeding blob of mucus that came from his throat; the lion spat in his eye but Jeyluxhal took him by the throat and pinned him where he left some of his own wounds on his upperchest. He was struggling to breathe under his strength but sought to break himself free of his crushing grip that was strangling him, with a push of his hind legs into his body and kicking to take him off; the hyena increased pressure on his throat. He built up the strength to launch him off with one kick to the abdomen, it was one that sent him to the floor on the right side
His opponent still stood brave but foolish to think he could take him on as he elbowed him in the snout and swept him off the ground, that was not enough for Jeyluxhal to dodge what the lion had in store for him and take him back to the tree where he showed off just what an hyena like him was capable of when it came down to fighting to the death with a lion. With a clutching of his throat and a forward chokeslam to the ground, he took him on his back with a heave as he stood on both hind paws; getting easier for him to do so thanks to having a more stable balance for himself as it was like learning how to walk after being wheelchair bound a few months from that awful asphalt burn. He slammed the lion to the ground before doing it again towards the wall with his torso in his paws, ending with a throw near the river. Silence followed between the two as nothing else happened for awhile, just breathing and heaving. As soon as that was done with he took him by the head and threw his paw off, headbutting the lion in the skull; he was no longer fighting his opponent but rather imagining that this is Scar that he was taking on. All throughout the fight the two lost blood because of though he was close to being a match for him, the lion was inferior to Jeyluxhal as he might've caught him off guard to throw him backwards; the hyena came leaping back onto his stomach
Kicking him to the floor where he started to pound on him heavily multiple times, even as he held his throat to choke him; he was defeated as he launched him off to a hard impact on the ground where he threw up some blood and letting out an painfully harsh roar that sounded like his vocal cords were being twisted tightly, the webbing within setting ablaze and the elasticity being strained to the maximum where it started to be ripped apart all in a short matter of time. He let out a even more painful and louder roar of defiance against him. His skin drenched in sweat with cuts everywhere and blood leaking from his mouth, he was breathing unsteadily and with the hyena before him being victorious; the two stared off to one another before Jeyluxhal noticed that his family was watching as this lion had a mate with a litter of cubs, all of them afraid while this one's mate showed a protective side to her family. The lion on the other hand stood off as he took a step back with his paw, the pads making contact with the ground as the sound of sandy dirt shifting which made both his ear twitch and perk. That was when his expression told him and his family that there was no escape from him, leaping into the air to slaughter theme all as neither adult nor cub lived from his hunger; he will not be hunted down under their paws for revenge against their father's death. The lion lied dead in his tracks as his minimum weak breaths were cut off vocally from it's mouth and a hoarse tone to the air that took his lungs were silenced, his eyes closed forever as Jeyluxhal had done what he came here for; now it was time for him to sate his hunger at long last
As the hyena feasted on the fallen lion he emerged victorious over, he was overcome with a number of feelings that he tried to suppress as mentioned before; it backfired for there were grave side effects from this stress he buckled under. Kukuza was beginning to affect him too much because though it was hidden under makeup that was applied, he suffered blisters on his face that were burning him and gotten worse when they gave him a rash that he couldn't stop scratching. These face blisters looked like effects of eczema herpeticum which was rare but this was not that virus, it just looked like the small and very even punched out blisters of sorts; the rash on the other hand looked like guttate psoriasis but like before it appeared but did not share the effects of such. That monsteress pretended to be a sweet and kind lady but he and his father know her true self, but does Bunga have any idea what he did? Jasiri wouldn't do this, come to think of it she isn't aware that Kukuza is really a devil who is poisoning him from the inside; his mental health is beginning to become worse at the minute. He needs to see her right now at the Outlands, therefore he finished up his meal and ran off not leaving even the bones behind as he ate them too; his kind would eat anything really so there's no point in saying what he can and cannot have
She was a oppressive, short-tempered woman who was obsessed with his father Tabari since she wanted to mate with him so to not only have children where his relationship means less to him should it happen; but to also be a better mother than Najira has ever been and will be which was enough to demand that she leaves him alone, but she refused to let him go. So he had to decide to spend some time with her and then jump into the rapids of the river before he swam to shore, leaving her to believe he disappeared and proceeded to tell his father she thinks he's dead. To ensure she would never find him he decided to live like a nomad so that he can stay out of her range, while living at Kuplinka's for a few days; oh and she gave him an load of hives for just being around her presence. She was domineering over him, she tried to force a haircut on him once and will do it again if she finds him; because she will never leave him alone. Those thoughts of her were worsened when he arrived in the Outlands to where Jasiri and her sister Madoa lived, come to think of it the last few times he went to see her; he decided to visit but met her sister instead as she was playing with Wemu and Tunu. Hoping to spend some time with her as he lets her do what she has in mind
Not much to describe Madoa's appearance as she had the same fur and bi-colored tail with a duller tone to her markings, both stripes and spots on her back with her face having three of the latter which were small. Brown eyes like his encircled by grey and tufts curved backwards from her head, having spiked down and upward mane on the back of her neck too. She was known to be friendly, caring and at times rather skeptical as she's hesitant to believe that both opposing species that were the lions and hyenas can be friends; something of which that Jeyluxhal has little to no interest in. She's graceful in admitting that she was wrong and enjoys seeing her sister happy, a very nuturing one who places the needs of the younger ones above her own when there's a problem such as Zira's Pride in the Outlands; noting that Wema and Tunu need water the most than she does. She understands her clan's strengths to weaknesses when the rest couldn't fight Janja without her sister's guidence
The relationship between her and Jeyluxhal worked out the same way as her sister, though it was not to the same decree because he's not talkative to either pups; simply giving them the provisions they needed the most and did what she asked. However, Wemu and Tunu were if not are intimidated under his stature; it was mainly because of his scars that are on his body, his cold and dead silence that was very but uncomfortably soft and his facial expressions that he used for communicating with others were kind of hard to understand what he's saying. An few of them were unintentionally goofy and hard to translate without his father close to him. Both were young and shy, sharing the same fear of lions because of Zira's negative influence that enforces it; overall they're very vicacious, effervescent, frolicsome, sportive and playful when interacting with other members of the clan. They look up to both Jasiri and Madoa, the two always felt safe in their presence even inimminent danger that awaits them. Overtime it came down to the two losing their fear of lions where Kion is concerned and is appreciative of a rescue, for now this was when they had yet to meet him and it should be noticed that he looked more like the rapper Drake whenever he gave off one of his rare smirks
Kukuza found both Jasiri and Madoa who were unaware of the misery she brings to Jeyluxhal, which made it the perfect chance to exact her plan on being with him; so she approached the two to ask them if any of them saw him. Not knowing that she is a monstress underneath that kind exterior, Kukuza continued to lie to them with words that his father sent her to find and spend time with her as times have been rough with the loss of his mother; earning their trust as the two led them to where he was playing with Wema and Tunu giving off one of his rare smirks that made him look like Drake, something that Madoa too noted as well. They walked around the wide clearing where he was just behind the narrow crack where they called out to him:
"Hey Jeyluxhal, someone's here for you" Jasiri called out to him
"Jeyluxhal..!" Madoea followed her sister's example
A sound of prolonged snorting like a elephant was heard before another few seconds passed to show him coming out to see who it is, stopping in his tracks as he scrapped his paws as it all looked like he was at a loss of non-existent words for whom he saw before him. Kukuza gave off her expressions that was mocking him but to the two were fooled, she looked like she has not seen her in over a few years. It was the one face that told him how much she missed him, while his continued for a few more seconds before there was finally a response; though none of the two expected that this would happen next and for the sake of the two witnesses this is what his reaction translated to:
"YEAAGGHH HA-HA, NYEHSSS! (Angry) GEEETTT OUUUT!" Jeyluxhal reacted with what sounded like a shriek of happiness followed by two bursts of chuckles, yelling with joy before he had suddenly screamed with a violent outburst demanding that she get out; swinging his arms outward and glowering lower than normal that showed his inner anger. Jasiri and Madoa looked on with shock as he had meltdown, scratching all over his body so he can remove the makeup applied to expose all the blisters and rashes that he developed from being around her. Breaking down into a mental disaster of true agony as he held onto the rock behind him, slipping down to the ground with a slumping thump before he regained his grip. "NEYEGHH! NO! NOOO! No, no. No! No! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOO! GOD- NOOOO! GET OUUT~"
Marked in red with his condition exposed and worse than before as he was steaming with an overdrive of a meltdown, he grabbed an pile of hardened rocks and threw it above in the air; with the three dodging the rain. "NO~ YEAAAAGGHHH- HAHAHAHA! GEET OUT NOOWW! GOD DAAMN YOOU AALLLL!" Jeyluxhal fell back against the wall and crawled to the right side over behind, taking out a pair of extremely dangerous huolonchushui cannons made from bamboo and armed with a gunpowder filled head of a Chinese Dragon on the front
"Excuse me, where did you'd find those?" Kukuza asked in confusion
"Oh please don't..." Jasiri's ears drooped
"Don't do this Jey..." Madoa looked down
The hyena did not want to deal with her again and activated the cannons, firing them into the air as they launched without a second to delay; exploding in the air which made the three of them flinch. Now standing against the trio he threw the two spent bamboo tubes against the far left where Kukuza stood, hitting her hard as he collapsed on the ground again and crawled away; stumbling and running back into the narrow crack where he ran away without giving Wema and Tunu a idea of what the hell was going on. The calls of madness still shrieked out there, repeatedly saying "No!" when translated as Jeyluxhal was too enraged to use his facial expressions to express his unexpected fruitless attempts to tell her to get the hell out. Jasiri turned to face Kukuza to tell her: "I didn't think he would- just wait there, I'm gonna go after him; Wema and Tunu must've been horrified from what they heard back there" She ran after the hyena who had a meltdown while Madoa went to check up on the two
Jasiri found him at the makeshift Native American wigwam tent that was built into the crack that led outside, the door was made of bamboo sticks that were formed as she knocked. "Jeyluxhal? Open the door, it's just me alone and Madoa stayed behind to check on Wema and Tunu; she thinks you've scared them but they don't know what's happening"
The door was opened as she was taken inside the wigwam as he didn't turn to face her until he was fully indepth within the shadows, his facial expression demanding to know how did she find him here? "She wanted to spend some time with you and she seemed really upset"
Jeyluxhal's face bared his fangs and questioned her on why they revealed him to her, Jasiri told him back: "She wants to make you and your father happy like she said" The hyena's next facial expression glowered with a nasty scowl, fangs bared moreso than previously and with his inner rage becoming more refined. Translating to: "What makes you think that BEAST would make me or my father happy?!"
"She told us that your father sent her to find and reunite so she can get to know you better, saying that times have been rough without your mother; she wants to be like her to make it up to you and hope you can accept-" She was interrupted when Jeyluxhal further yelled in a furious outcry that had him collapse on the ground atop his knees
Madoa finished explaining to Wema and Tunu about what happened before telling them to wait with Kukuza until she returns, she's going after her sister which she eventually reached the wigwam tent where the two seemed to be arguing. "Calm down!" She cried but Jeyluxhal only gave a violent expression that told her he's not going out there while she has the rights to exist in the Outlands, removing her from the Circle of Life and stripping her of humanity. She entered inside as she looked around
"Where is he?"
"In the back holding himself in pain from the... boils and rashes on his skin?"
Jeyluxhal wanted Najira right here close to him as he just sniffled, that monstress ruined him just because he's the son of a rogue hyena who defied an clan he didn't want to live in; he's a coldskinned, back-n-forth rocking and sweating while he sniffled and made sudden booming breathes like a heartbeat slow but audible. After awhile he stood up and made them know as he gave his expression that they don't know what they've done, claiming that monstress was poisoning him from the inside. Stepping into the sunlight to reveal his blisters, rashes and an new addition to the misery she caused him: popped blood sacks that were bleeding down his body and fever induced skin
"What happened to you?"
"She's a sweet lady, that woman didn't do anything to you"
Jeyluxhal's expression told them otherwise as though the two apologized and offered to atone for bringing that devil back into his life by telling her to leave, that was when bloodlust began to foam out of his mouth; breathing sporadically in between and shortening his heaves with his breathes. Rumbling growls and harsh snarling in his throat were made present to the two sisters, he gave them a face that told them both that she is not leaving. He explained that Bunga brought her to him and his father as if to make us happy seeing that we have no loving mate, once he saw the true colors behind the facade and discovered the truth; he wanted her out but she was relentless and refused
She wants to mate with him, so she can have a child and be recognized as being married to a hero known to the hyenas like him; he doesn't want a sibling that will be spoiled so rotten to the core that he would shove it in his face without a end. Should he have a sibling then his relationship means less to him and to him, there is no point in seeking retribution for her because he was born as their only child; his sibling has no right to exist or be alive to aid him. Najira's death is less meaningful to him and what's worse is that she tried to FORCE him to mate with her, she's an attention whore who made it worse when that appearance that she first presented to him; was exactly what Najira looked like minus all of the motherly and all loving traits she carried. He hates everything now
He explained how he escaped her for so long but now that she's found him, she will never leave him alone to live free like the hyena whose childhood was robbed from him; he will die hard worse than the two cheetahs who were grooming him to death. This time there's nothing to save him from a fate but the only true way of staying away from her is to... but Jasiri and Madoa stopped him from going further as the two knew what he was going to say. Claiming that what he's saying is too far and the fact that he was going to commit suicide just to stay away from her would only make things worse
"Jey... you don't really mean that, what would all your friends say if you did so?" Jasiri expressed concern for him
"She would never do any of that..." Madoa nuzzled his cheek as he turned to the side away from her, not wanting to cooperate about going out there again
Just then there was a knock on the door as Kukuza's voice was heard from behind outside: "Jeyluxhal my son, are you in there?"
Inflaminating to greater degrees than before Jeyluxhal once again yelled as he backed and kicked the other door open to escape through the crack on the other side, locking the door behind to keep them from following him again. How dare she call him her son?! He jumped into the watering hole from below while she asked for him again behind the door, wanting to escape from his agony of having to be with her. The two sisters wondered if she was whom he claimed her to be just as she did the same
A little while later Jasiri and Madoa wanted to see if the claims were true as the two sisters snuck to a hidden conversation that the two had from above the cliffs, Jeyluxhal laid there from his back to watch some of his more personal favorites in his mind using his imagination to act like an VCR/DVD Player; up against the wall where he faced the west side and they were on the south side. Kukuza approached him softly but he shook her advances off
"Come on Jeyluxhal, I've got us front row seats for the Pride Lands production play based off the story of Simba and how he became king" Kukuza tried to persuade him to join her with Jeyluxhal defiantly using his facial expressions that told her: "No!"
"But we'll have so much fun together, think of me like her back in the puphood days" Kukuza tried being nice to him but Jeyluxhal smacked her paw away from him, telling her not to lay a paw on him anymore
"She seems nice though... and I know he's not a misogynist, he would never act that way with us" Jasiri looked down with concern
He's not going anywhere with her and she knows nothing about his childhood, she fails at being a foster mom because he doesn't need one; he has one and her name is Najira who will never be inferior compared to her. That was when she finally came around to prove the claims he made true. "You'll do what I tell you to do, now come with me to the play next week!" Kukuza revealed to Jasiri and Madoa her true colors, exposing her obsessively controlling side that acts like it is her who dominates both Tabari and his son's lives. She gave birth to him and she is his mother, not Najira whom she's impersonating
"Oh there we go, bring on the sympathy" Madoa commented
Kukuza had enough and held him at chokehold while Jeyluxhal fought back with her as she then shouted: "You need a haircut and so does your father becuase of your ugly mullets"
"Haircut? There's nothing wrong with resembling your parents when you grow up" Jasiri sounded rather offended at this
Jeyluxhal screamed out that he doesn't want a haircut and he's keeping his mullet to resemble his father, but Kukuza only replied with: "Did I ask what you wanted? Come here now!" The hyena refused as he struggled to fight her off, demanding that she let him go and take her god damn paws off him. She tried to force one on him but threw her off to make sure she never goes anywhere above zero whenever she tried to start
"Who forces a haircut on someone?" Madoa questioned Kukuza's methods
"If this was an actual part in the play she mentioned, it'd be more popular than anything that Zazu has to offer as entertainment to Scar back then" Jasiri commented as she shook her head having been told the story of Simba's return before
He got seriously violent with her as he started smashing rocks on her, trying to kill her but ran away before he could go on further; the two sisters withdraw from the edge as they told each other
"She is a monstress, a beast and a devil"
"What have we done to him...?"
The two sisters later confronted Kakuza about her behavior towards their friend as she's been a mean foster mother, deciding that it was best to leave him alone; however she called them out saying they had no right to snoop on their private time the two were spending alone with each other. This resulted in an arguement that had them demanding that she leaves, she's no longer welcome here but not wanting to lose her chance; she declared that she will never let him live without a motherly figure in his life. He was robbed of his childhood and she had no one to love, she was jealous of Najira because she was a better mother than her; Jasiri said so otherwise as she was just a obsessive psychopath who wanted to be recognized alongside his father. He's staying the hell away from them because of her for 30 days, but when she reveals that she can wait that long as it's not enough for him to visit them again; Jasiri mentions that the stress she caused had made him take a six month vacation out of the Pride Lands, which makes her even more determined to find him as she ran off. But there could not have been anymore bad timing on her side because where Jeyluxhal was as of now, is this place hidden out of the sight of others as he was all alone and nowhere to be found
Jeyluxhal tried soothing himself through grooming his fur but no matter where he goes in the god forsaken forest that was different from the time that he brought Fuli out of, he's inflicted with paranoia that Kukuza's near to torment him more. The last straw came when though this is a forest that is hidden out of sight of others it was not invisible to being prone of having a few visitors who looked at him, everywhere he went he was always prone to contact from all the other animals who came to enjoy this experience from the far west of the Pride Lands. He cannot get out of the other's way and he has no privacy for himself, biting himself after being watched for the tenth time. He threw his flab of skin down and stormed off sitting down near the edge to watch the sunset, hours later passing with him looking up at the moon in front of the fields; walking off but stumbling to the ground against the wall as he supported himself to imagine that he shared the same genes as Kukuza, confirmation occurred as countless lines of birth certificate officials claimed that he was her son in countless sentences and paragraphs that scrolled down
He was shaking lightly under the stress and under the weather, looking irritated with his face telling it all. The words of his father calling to him repeated in echoes: "She never wanted you to worry of the consequences that came with the abandonment of an clan that's better off to be left in the dust where the wind blows it away... I loved her as much as the youthful pup you once were..." Blurring backgrounds of his father's face telling him as well as a black and golden filtered image of the second sentence he told him
He closed his eyes and scrunched his face as he held the sides of his forehead with his paws, hallucinating with another pan across the inside of his den where he was born in. Once again it was blurred except for the exit that stood out the most. A sudden ringing sound was heard which he turned having a expression of inner turmoil with himself, anger building but so was unidentifiable ranges of emotions and trauma that were building up into one spontaneous and outer combustion of repressed memories that occurred on that night. He barred his fangs and inside of him, a greater mass of darkened blood like liquid that burned alight was overtaking his borders made up of cells; swirling slowly like a hurricane and cyclone that stormed. What followed was his webbings twisting themselves, constricting like vessels of blood as he was shaking more so; all those thoughts about his inner demons such as the ones he tried keeping back and suppress from others as no one would pity a hyena backfired on him, he opened the floodgates and were allowing them to overtake him. Other thoughts such as his fight with the lion came back as was the Ant-Hyena Neo Nazis trying to start a fight with him, and a blood red to white outlined version of his father killing the informant ice pigeon who told Baridi where he was
Scenes switched from taking a blood sample, to him and Fuli all the way to his mother being ripped apart before his eyes; Jasiri then told him:
"Hey Jeyluxhal, are you there? Listen I think we screwed up big time, you were right about her and had every right to claim she was a demon who ruined your life-"
The exit to the den rumbled as some pieces were falling off, Jeyluxhal breathing in with an scrunched face as his shaking worsened
"-It's my fault that you're suffering because of her, I shouldn't have let her to your location. It was all a mistake from the beginning, I think she's coming after you-"
Images of his inner blood cells flowing and slowing down before they started to set alight as some of them were filled with the same flammable mass seen before, a image of Kukuza turning away from him as she left to argue with his father; making him grunt out as he can't control himself
"-I hope you can forgive me for what we've done to you, but we didn't know that she was as true to your words; I just though you weren't giving her the chance at all. Let me know when you're ready to come back here to make up with us, alright? Goodbye"
Jeyluxhal's face twitched as images of his mother telling him her final words, taking him to the hidden place where Baridi can't find him to stay hidden inside and in his point of view; he's entering the darkness. He turned around to find Jasiri but she was nowhere to be found as he needs her help, the exit of the den once again rumbled as more pieces fell off which showed that Baridi was breaking in to take him. He lowered his head with his head full of pain and intensifying to the extreme, a image of his bleeding paws from his point of view as well as series of flashes finally made him break as he was showed in sweat at this point
He snarled as he looked up with a facial expression that needed no words to explain how angry he was feeling right now: "Drauggh... NRRRAAAUGGHHH!" He roared as he slowly turned around, moving out to find a exit so he can leave the forest; he is not feeling too well and it shows as he could feel some sort of boiling liquid that was churning inside of his stomach. He felt like he was going to throw up as his throat was burning like acid, he had to get out of here as soon as possible
He exited from the area he was in with no idea where to go next, he needed to find Jasiri and- no; he needed to find his father as he knows about the feelings he kept from all the others from knowing but him. His way in expressing himself has never been the easy way in understanding what he is saying. All of that frustration that formed from his megalomania of overwhelming jealousy and sorrowful rage about his adoptive mother telling him that he was too old for him to love, his passionate lust drive that poisoned him and the struggle between the fits of anxiety to embarrassment to inner rage from discrimination; humiliation before all others after he rightfully defended himself and bombardments of threats from Anti-Hyena Neo Nazi prejudice groups of animals. Everything has begun to break out of the suppressants he used in holding them back mentally, he walked over to the corner and peered out from the side to find what looked like a sign of his father closeby
Power walking over to the end he found no sign of his father that he needed to see and talk to right now, making it worse as there was no shortcut to the exit close by to his location and it was dark outside in the night. Illuminated only by the moonlight and the stars that gave off specs of light down to his shrouded area. He turned back, hitting his knee against the hard rock and slipping on the ground while he held onto the tree with his paws; curling into himself due to the pain that hurt more the most while he stood, struggling as he saw a image of his mother's face before being consumed by multiple cells formed by those same darkened blood like liquid that burned alight; swarming his point of view from all sides until it faded. That was when what he felt like a transformation began as it started with the feeling of his bones crunching, sounds of pain followed in response to this: "NERRUUGHH... AAAAHHHHHRRUUUGGGHHH!" His necklace of rib bones broke off and fell to the floor while he threw himself to the other side, feeling that his fangs were extending and thickening themselves against the threshold he could endure; his jaws were not prepared to handle this pain before
These were all hallucinations caused by his build up of repressed trauma that as mentioned before had the nastiest recoil that backfired on him, he could feel the shift in his bones that made him lose his abilities that made him who he is; it's as though that he's entering back to an primal state that stripped him of what the other animals have, relying on nothing but just his instincts. He truly was like a beast that's under the control of his enemies, his will was out of his reach and he was trapped in this feral side. But everyone knows that he just doesn't know how to deal with this amount of build up inside of him, this is all in his head and to him he's acting on what he thinks he would be like. He resorted to destroying all in his path as he can't let out the fury in him, foaming at the mouth and having a tsunami of slobber become a waterfall out from his lower lips; he was starting to have that drowsy like face again but this time it was more about his lack of distinguishing what is reality and what are hallucinations he's been clouded with
Three hours passed on during this experience of what it feels like to enter a primal state of being, acting like an true beast with no sense of bearing the thought of repressed tramua to the fullest; it was started to wear off on him as he displayed this behavior when he fought that lion from before but unlike him this was driven by and only by repressed trauma that built up inside of him. Stress, anxiety, embarrassment, rage, frustration and agony have all done this to him
He stopped in his tracks upon reaching what looked like to be the exit for him, doused in water to rid himself of the scents that the animals might trace back to him as well as cleaning himself of the smells that Kukuza caused such as sweat and grease. He was overcome with it all that manifested itself into a state that demanded revenge on her, just as the sound of a bark peeling caught his attention; looking overhead through his bangs to find that she peaked out from the side to see him in this primal state. That expression was not the ones she used against him and his father from before, she looked remorseful about what she did; but it was just a ruse to him, there's no difference between what she feels
He slowly approached her just as she retracted a bit but fully came out to face him alone, she started to tell him that she regrets everything that she's ever done to ruin him; wanting to be a real mother and to give her a chance like what Bunga said. Her pleas fell on deaf ears as he chose to pretend that he was in his primal state as of to this hour, calmed for now but telling her that he still refuses to have her as a mother figure. Najira cannot be replaced, the two of them know what she wants and there's no saying that they're misinterpreting what her words meant. He will not be derailed from her will until Baridi is dead, he hasn't show his face in an number of years but he cannot hide forever; he will come out to show himself and her spirit will rest while the two of them can move on
Laying a paw on his face while removing the false coat off herself, he was taken back to the times when he played with his mother whenever his father was out; continuing to breathe a little more stably as Kukuza further embraced the feeling of raising him. Jeyluxhal heard the voice of his real mother as it was about the time that Tabari revealed to her about the injuries his bullies inflicted on him, the sounds began to fade as he returned to his point of view from his right eye; he became infuriated once more and grunted which startled Kukuza, throwing her back before he riled himself up. He let out a smaller growling snarl before he leapt onto her, fully roaring out into the sky as he began to rip her apart in the same way that Baridi did; tearing her from limb to limb before running away and springing on the ground into little but powerful jumps. What had remained of Kukuza was the paint she applied to make herself look as if she was Najira, which was what she looked like the first time he met her; oh and she had a few more seconds of life before fading peacefully. She accepted her place before a rock was thrown to smash her face so she can shut up forever
Leaving at night he started to let his mind wonder and imagine that he was accompanied by a pal that he could hang out with, as our featured guest in this tale came from a realm known as the Boiling Isles so let us introduce one of our greatest and funniest sidekicks that Jeyluxhal can't help but laugh with:
He was a canine creature that had mostly dark liorice black to charcoal grey color to his fur but his underbelly to the tip of his tail was covered in a lighter fog to dove grey; three fingers and two toes that excluding his thumbs were white claws. His mouth does not open except when he's eating, showing off his giraffe blackish purple tongue. He wore a darkblood red collar as that mix consisted of a very dark crimson and a very deep maroon red color, with a golden tag that was round on the middle; having a bumblebee yellow color to his eyes and black scleras. The main highlight of him was his buffalo like skull he wore on his head whose horn is broken but also splintered upwards on the top side, V-shape black nostril on the front and two fangs on either side close to the inverted triangular snout; two round flat teeth followed the sides of the fangs. Finally, he imagined him as his buddy to tell what him what he's dealing with now; having the tag of the front name him: "King" as he was different from the original one himself as if it's not obvious enough (A/N: The original featured guest was supposed to be Kaa, but he'll come through one of these chapters)
Now that he's happy and thankful for the fact that the worthless bitch had understood that she needs to bite the dust right now, he can come back to living in his den as Jasiri and her sister Madoa understood her true nature; though he doesn't feel like he should see her for awhile. He hasn't felt so much power after unleashing his primal berserker like stance, it's as if he... actually liked it
He... liked being in his primal berserker like stance, that's not a good sign for what's coming to one of their days out with each other
