"In the meantime Scar is talking to his henchmen the hyena's," says Destiny.

"Destiny! He's coming!" says Bailey

"Whoops gotta go!" says Destiny

The two fly off and head out of the way, the hyena's are annoyed about what just happened.

"Man that lousy Mufasa, I won't be able to sit for a week," says Anchor.

Ed laughs at his brothers suspense.

"It's not funny Ed," says Anchor.

Ed tries to hold it back but he can't and burst out laughing.

"Hey Shut up!" says Anchor

Banzi gets mad and attacks Ed out of annoyance and they attack each other.

"Will you knock it off?!" says Bruce.

They knock it off and Ed chews his own leg thinking it is Banzi's leg.

"Well he started it!" says Anchor, pointing to Ed.

"Look at you guys, no wonder we are dangling at the bottom of the food chain," says Bruce.

She climbs down the hillside and down to the other two.

"Man I hate that guy," says Anchor.

"Cha. You know if it weren't for those lions we'd be running the joint," says Bruce.

"Man I hate lions," says Anchor.

"So pushy," says Bruce.

"And Hairy!" adds Anchor.

"And stinky," says Bruce.

"And uggggly," says the both of them.

"Aw surely we lions aren't that bad," says Gil, from his perch.

"Oh Scar it's just you," says Anchor.

"We thought it was somebody important," says Bruce.

"Yeah like Mufasa," says Anchor.

"Yeah," agrees Bruce.

"I see...." says Gil, annoyed.

"Now that's power," says Anchor.

"Tell me about it,I just hear that name and I shutter," says Bruce.

"Mufasa," says Anchor.

"Oooo *shutter* Do it again," says Bruce.

Banzi does it three more times making her shutter again and again until they are laughing.

"I'm surrounded by idiots," says Gil, rubbing his temple.

"Not you Scar you are one of us," says Anchor.

"Charmed.." says Gil.

"Oh I like that, he's not king but he is still so proper," says Bruce.

"Hey did you bring us something to eat? Old buddy old pal?" asks Anchor.

"I don't really believe you deserve this, *producing a zebra leg for the hyenas* I practically gift wrapped those cubs for you and you couldn't even dispose of them," says Gil, tossing the leg down.

The three start eating happily they are very hungry.

"Well you know it wasn't exactly like they were alone, Scar." says Bruce.

"Yeah, what are we supposed to do, kill Mufasa?" asks Anchor.

"Precisly," says Gil.

He hops down toward them happily.

"I never thought hyenas essential. They're crude and unspeakably plain.But maybe they've a glimmer of potential.If allied to my vision and brain.I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside. But thick as you are, pay attention.My words are a matter of pride. It's clear from your vacant expressions.The lights are not all on upstairs.But we're talking kings and successions. Even you can't be caught unawares.So prepare for a chance of a lifetime. Be prepared for sensational news.A shining new era. Is tiptoeing nearer," sings Gil.

"And where do we feature?" asks Bruce

"Just listen to teacher," sings Gil, pinching her cheek.

She rubs her cheek angrily not liking her cheek pinched.

I know it sounds sordid. But you'll be rewarded. When at last I am given my dues. And injustice deliciously squared.Be prepared!" sings Gil

"Yeah be prepared, we will be prepared, for what?" asks Anchor

"For the death of the king!" says Gil

"Why is he sick?" asks Anchor

"No fool we're going to kill him, and Simba too." says Gil.

"Great idea who needs a king?!" says Bruce

"No king no king lalala" sings Bruce and Chum

"Idiots there will be a king," says Gil.

"But you said-" says Anchor.

"I will be king! Stick with me and you will never go hungry again!" says Gil.

"Long live the king! Long live the king!" says all the hyenas

"It's great that we'll soon be connected.With a king who'll be all-time adored," sings the hyenas

"Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected.To take certain duties on board,The future is littered with prizes. And though I'm the main addressee.The point that I must emphasize is.You won't get a sniff without me!" sings/threatens Gil.

" So prepare for the coup of the century.Be prepared for the murkiest scam. Meticulous planning. Tenacity spanning. Decades of denial.Is simply why I'll.Be king undisputed.Respected, saluted. And seen for the wonder I am.Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared.Be prepared! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared. Be prepared!" sings Gil/the hyenas.
