WHACK!
"An elephant graveyard! You told Simba that it was an elephant graveyard? He nearly got killed!"
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!"
Scar groaned. He was annoyed and his brother was hurting him.
"I love you Scar but I will not allow you to harm Simba. He is my son! You had NO RIGHT to put Simba's life in danger. I don't know what your problem is, and I don't care. You keep it away from Simba! Do you understand what I just told you?"
WHACK!
Mufasa continued whacking his brother until he'd calmed down Then he stormed out of his cave and went back home.
"Alright Mufasa," Scar said to himself, "You hurt me. Now it's my turn to hurt you."
Scar took some time to think. He didn't want to use force against Mufasa. That would hardly make a dent. The best way to punish Mufasa was to take away what he most loves… or rather who he most loves.
"Let's see," Scar thought aloud, "I could seduce Sarabi. But no. That wouldn't hurt him enough. Besides, he would know it was me. No, whatever it is I will play the supportive little bro– that's it. Simba!"
Mufasa loved Simba more than anything in the world. He loved him like crazy. If Simba died, that would be the perfect way to punish Mufasa for hurting him. Nothing would hurt Mufasa more than the loss of his son.
But Scar knew he had to be careful. He had to "befriend" Simba→ to win his trust. He had to regain Mufasa's trust.
Mufasa doesn't know what's coming. He has no idea his life is about to be shattered into a million pieces.
The most brilliant part is that Scar is going to look innocent through it all. He will be the doting little brother. He will be the 'bigger lion' if you will. When Simba dies, Scar won't be anywhere nearby. He will however be responsible for Simba's death.
