Lion King: Mufasa's Reign

Chapter Twenty-Two

After Scar left, Shenzi was happy until Haya walked to her. "Shenzi, I can't do this anymore. Kill me, exile me, or whatever. I don't care anymore", said Haya. Shenzi was mad. "Really? Now you want to leave?! Who's going to take of the cub?!" Asked Shenzi. "I will. I just can't stand it anymore", said Haya. Shenzi nodded and striked her down. Haya didn't get up but cried. "Shenzi! You are selfish! I hate you", said Haya. Shenzi struck her again ending her life. She heard Banzai and Ed yelling. "What's going on?" Asked Shenzi.

"It's the prince and some other lion cub. Let's get them", said Banzai. Shenzi smiled. "It's showtime", said Shenzi. Simba and Nala saw the Elephant Graveyard. They thought it was fascinating until later. When Mufasa came to protect the cubs, the hyenas were scared and the cubs went home in disappointment. Zazu lead Nala home. She had her head hung low. "Don't look down. This happened to the King and Queen too except something worse happened", said Zazu.

"What?" Asked Nala gloomy. Zazu sighed. "Scar went with them and he ended up being trapped there. Hyenas found him and almost devoured him alive but thanks to his brave mother, Uru. He was safe and sound", said Zazu. Nala nodded and went to the main den. Everyone was relieved to see Nala home but Nala noticed her angry mother looking at her. "Nala! What happened? I was so worried about you! You are grounded, miss!" Said Sarafina. "Yes mother", said Nala gloomy. She laid by herself.

After a while, her mother came to her. "Hey sweetheart. Do you want to lay with me?" Asked Sarafina. Nala nodded and laid with her mother. "I'm sorry about earlier. It's just that I was so worried about you", said Sarafina. "It's okay, mom", said Nala. They fell asleep. Meanwhile, after Simba and Mufasa had a talk, Simba went into his den to lay with his mother. "How did it go, dear?" Asked Sarabi. "It was great! He showed me the stars!" Said Simba excitedly. Sarabi smiled but later looked down. "Simba, you are grounded. It's your father that grounded you not me. He worries about you", said Sarabi.

"But mom I'm sorry", said Simba. Sarabi embraced her son. "I know you are baby but it's your father's word and there's nothing I can do about it. He'll let you know when you're ungrounded but it might be a while", said Sarabi. Simba sniffled and she hugged him. The next morning, Simba woke up yawning. His mother saw him getting up. As he was about to leave the den, his mother guarded the entrance. "You're still grounded. Remember?" Asked Sarabi. "Oh yeah", said Simba gloomy. Sarabi looked at him.

"Don't be so down, Simba. How about this? I will let you go see an adult but an adult only", said Sarabi. Simba nodded fast. He soon thought of Uncle Scar. "Okay mom. Thank you", said Simba. Sarabi nodded and saw him ran fast. He ran straight to the main den but saw Malka in his way. He was angry. "Malka, can you move please?" Asked Simba. Malka was even more angry. "No, I want to play with you", said Malka. "I can't play today. I'm grounded", said Simba. Malka scoffed.

"Yeah right. It's because I have ticks, isn't it?" Asked Malka. "You don't have ticks, Malka. I'm just not able to play right now", said Simba. Malka pounced him. Simba couldn't get up. "Malka. Get off of me", said Simba. Malka refused to until he heard a loud powerful roar. He saw Scar roaring. "Get off of my nephew!" Said Scar. Malka got off in fear. Simba noticed it was Scar and ran to him. Malka was left alone. He was furious but didn't know what would happen next after the hangout with Scar and Simba.
