Meanwhile, in the hyena cave, Banzai was talking to Ed. "Man, that lousy Mufasa and those lousy Pretty Cure! I won't be able to sit for a week!" said Banzai. He had numerous scratches on his rear. Ed started to laugh. "It's not funny, Ed" said Banzai. Ed tried to stop laughing but burst out worse. "Hey, shut up!" said Banzai. Ed couldn't stop laughing so Banzai tackled him and they started fighting. "Will you knock it off!" said Shenzi. Banzai stopped and Ed continued biting himself in the leg. "Well, he started it!" said Banzai. "Look at you guys. No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain" Shenzi said. "Man, I hate dangling" said Banzai with drool hanging from his mouth. "Shyeah! Y'know if it weren't for those lions, we'd be runnin' the joint" said Shenzi. "Yeah. Man, I hate lions" said Banzai. "So pushy" said Shenzi. "And hairy" Banzai added. "And stinky" said Shenzi. "And man, are they..." Banzai began then he and Shenzi said at the same time "Uuuugly!". Then they laughed and Scar appeared. Oh, surely we lions are not all that bad" he said. The hyenas were surprised at first. "Oh, Scar, it's you" said Banzai. "We were afraid it was somebody important" said Shenzi. "Yeah you know like Mufasa or Pretty Cure" said Banzai. While the hyenas talked, Scar thought to himself "Pretty Cure. So that's who those two human girls were. How did they get such power?". "I'm surrounded by idiots" he said out loud. "Not you, Scar; I mean you're one of us. I mean, you're our pal" said Banzai. "Charmed" said Scar being sarcastic. "Ohh, I like that. He's not king, but he's still so proper" said Shenzi. "Yeah. Hey, hey. Did ya bring us anything to eat, Scar, old buddy, old pal? Huh? Did ya-did ya-did ya?" asked Banzai. "I don't think you really deserve this" said Scar holding a zebra haunch. "I practically gift-wrapped those cubs for you". He dropped a leg to the hyenas. "And you couldn't even dispose of them". The hyenas began to eat. "Well, ya know. It wasn't exactly like they were alone, Scar" Shenzi said with her mouth full. "Yeah. What are we supposed to do-" Banzai said before swallowing. "kill Mufasa?". Scar grinned evilly. "Precisely" he said. The hyenas stopped eating at looked at Scar questioningly. Scar leaped down to the hyenas and walked calmly through the sheets of flame and gas. Then he began to sing.

Scar:
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

Shenzi (speaking):
And when do we feature?

Scar:
Just listen to teacher

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

"Yeah. Be prepared. Yeah-heh...we'll be prepared, heh...for what?" asked Banzai. "For the death of the king" Scar said. "Why? Is he sick" Banzai asked. Scar grabbed Banzai by the throat. "No, fool we're going to kill him. Simba too. And if Pretty Cure gets in the way, we'll kill them" he said. Scar dropped Banzai. "Great idea! Who needs a king?" said Shenzi. She, then Banzai danced around each other and said in sing-song voices "No king! No king! La-la-la-la-laa-laa!". "Idiots! There will be a king!" said Scar. "Hey, but you said..." Banzai began but Scar interrupted him. "I will be king!..Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!" he announced. "Long live the king! Long live the king!" said the hyenas. Then Scar's army of hyenas walked goose-stepping across the floor of the cave, now stylized into a Nazi-esque quadrangle.

Hyenas:
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

Scar:
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!
