"Hey, Uncle Scar, Aunt Nova!" Simba chirped, trotting over into their cave and smiled at Scira, who smiled and trotted over to him, greeting him, her green eyes shimmering and remembered what her parents had told her, that she must befriend the prince so that she could help her parents get him out of the way "Hey Simba!" She chirped."Hey Scira!" He chirped "Hey uncle Scar? One day, I'm gonna rule all the Pridelands...I'll be your king...how weird is that?" Simba asked his tail, flicking back and forth as Scar and Nova laud down with Scira lying on her paws."You have no idea." Scar mewed cooly."So your father showed you the whole kingdom?" Scar asked slyly "Well he showed me everything the light touches. " Simba mewed proudly."He didn't show you what's beyond our kingdom?" Scar asked."Well...no he told me I'm not supposed to go there, " Simba mewed sadly."And he's absolutely right. An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince," He mrowed, then faked a gasp as though only then realized what he had said. Why would you mention that?" Nova asked, pretending to be disappointed and swatting the back of his head playfully."Oh dear, you're right, "I've said too much," Scar mewed, shaking his head."Elephant graveyard?" Simba asked, amazed."Promise me you won't go there, and you won't tell anyone I told you?" Scar mewed smiling,"I promise. " Simba mewed, slightly disappointed "Alright run along, and remember this is our little secret" Scar mrowed smirking then nudged Scira closer as she stumbled over her mother's paws and laid down in between them her bottom on her mother's paw and her head rested on her father's paw "The plan begins" Scar mewed snickering and licked Nova's ear purring softly "You will be king soon enough Scar" She purred "Yes my queen we will rule together and raise Scira to be a strong queen, when the time comes" He mrowed rubbing his paw over Scira's head firmly yet lovingly as she purred rubbing her small head against his paw

Later that day...

"Nova would you mind watching Simba...he wandered off to the Elephant graveyard with Nala, and apparently he needs a babysitter" Mufasa said shaking his head "Of course Mufasa" Nova purred smiling at the young prince who frowned then trotted over to Scira who growled playfully "He did that?" Scar asked, acting surprised "Yes Scar he did, " Mufasa mumbled, sounding tired then left "Why don't you come with me Simba your father has a surprise for you" Scar mewed "Really? Okay!" Simba chirped, following his uncle to the gorge where Scar led him "Wait right here and I'll go get him, in the meantime you can work on that little roar of yours" Scar said smiling "Oh...okay, Hey uncle Scar? What's the surprise?" Simba asked curious "Well if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?" Scar asked "No I guess not...will I like the surprise?" He asked hopefully."Simba, Simba, it's to die for. " Scar purred and walked away

After the Stampede started...

"Mufasa! Stampede in the gorge, Simba's down there!" Scar warned as he ran up to him and Zazu and ran with Mufasa and Zazu to the edge of the gorge searching for the young cub and Scar watched as Mufasa picked Simba up and tried to get him to safety and finally managed to get Simba on a ledge but fell and finally started clawing his way up the other side "Scar, brother help me" Mufasa pleaded slipping a little then roared in pain as Scar dug his claws into Mufasa's paws "Long live the king" Scar whispered and let go of Mufasa grinning and watched as Simba ran down into the gorge again to look for his father "Oh Simba what have you done?" Scar asked slyly as he padded up to the young cub who was cuddled close to his dead father "I-I didn't mean for it to happen" Simba whimpered "No of course not, we never Mean for these things to happen, but it did, and the king is dead and because of you" Scar mrowed as he had wrapped his paw around the cub "What should I do?" Simba asked "Run, run away Simba and never return" Scar growled softly and watched as the cub ran away "Go" He growled to the Hyenas then padded back up the gorge and to the den where Nova and Scira were waiting "Is it done?" Nova asked, looking up at her mate "Yes let's go, my love. " Scar purred, nudging her up and watching as she picked up Scira, who still couldn't walk very fast on her small legs then they trotted up to Pride rock to give the speech "I am sad to say that the King, my brother has died and so has the young prince who died before he could even begin living, so it is with a heavy heart that I take place as king to begin a new Era where lion and hyena work together as friends in peace!" Scar said and trotted up onto Pride rock roaring and nodding for Nova to join him with Scira sitting at her mother's side as her parents roared together claiming the title of king and queen of Pride rock as the lionesses all gasped and young Nala hid by her mother's paws, and Zira smiled with Mheetu at her paws since she had started to care for the young lion cub, after his father had died and his mother had started looking after her daughter
