Disclaimer: Though I censored the swear words... you still get an idea what they are, so be forewarned! ;) What a Combo! By: Rindimo Cheetah Mufasa was walking down a well-worn path that kings for all time have walked down. He was familiar with every pebble, every plant that grew alongside it, as he patrolled the border of the pridelands. With grim visage, he looked out beyond his borders-- scanning for potential threats to his family, and children. "Mufasa! The swimming pool!" Scar shouted as he ran up to him, "Simba's down there!!" Quickly, without a word, Mufasa ran ahead of Scar towards the royal family pool. His heart was racing, as was his mind, when he thought of his only son struggling to get a breath of air. "Hold on Simba!" He shouted, as he jumped onto the springboard, and did a full gainer-- into an empty pool. As his skull proceeded to shatter the concrete floor of the pool, he recalled the cleaner drained it yesterday to service the filter vents... "MUFASA! Hurry, Quick!" Scar shouted again, "Now Simba's stuck in the thorn bushes!!!" Obviously a bit disoriented, and punch-drunk, Mufasa obligingly blunderred into the thorns with a painful roar. The more he writhed, the more he became caught up in them. Finally, with a sacrifice to dignity, he tore from the painful patch with a mighty leap. "Mufasa! Hurry! Now Simba's at the waterhole!" Before he could think of it, Mufasa found himself hurredly running to the waterhole. At least this time, there was some water to break his fall... and crocodiles to boot! With a mighty roar, he swiped at the scaly creatures that were affixing their toothy jaws to him. Fortuneately, they were small, but that mattered not to their voracity. Whalloped, ripped, and tattered, Mufasa finally climbed out of the den of reptiles, and shakily stood dripping wet next to the banks of the water hole-- panting out of breath. "Hurry Mufasa!" Scar happily shouted, as he danced up to the king's face, "NOW he's in the gorge!" "OH F*** OFF, YOU D@MN B******!" Mufasa said as he swiped at Scar. "You and your D@MN pranks! You could've killed me!"
