. The Terminator By: Rindimo Cheetah "SCAR! Brother! Help me!!" Mufasa cried in desperation as he clung to the side of the cliff. Scar watched with a acold demeanor as he noted the face of his victim before the act of killing. Quickly now, he digs into the flesh of his soul's meal. The fear slowly becomes usurped through his claws, and feeds his beating heart-- all the more at a quickening pace of excitement. To finish his predatorial feeding, Scar stabs at the drying well before him. "Long live the king!" The void in his dark heart being fed, Scar tossed the used vessel aside to be mortared with earth by the poundings of the pestal-like hooves. He laughed at the helplessness Mufasa all the more vindicated with a horrid, drawn-out scream. A smaller one off to the side also caught his ears, and he grinned and laughed all the more when he realized it was Simba he heard. He was about to head off in the direction of where Simba was, in order to push him in as well, but then he heard an uprising in the stampede below him. Mufasa was climbing back up the cliff face! "Gods, you have stamina, Mufasa!" Scar scowled as he cuffed the bleeding paws until they lost their grip again, and allowed Mufasa to fall yet again into the stampede. This time, however, Scar didn't leave for Simba when he heard him scream again. This time, he watched exactly where Mufasa fell. And lo, His body leapt out of the mass of hooves again! The flesh was hanging loosely, and in some cases, ripped off completely, and the limbs, continued to extend, and grab ahold of the next crack in the rock face ahead of them. This was getting too much. Scar began to hurl rocks at Mufasa, in hope that he will finally die. One particular rock hit him squarely in the face. It's sharp edges clawed at the side of Mufasa's head, as the weight caused his body to slide down a few feet from where he was. When it left, a piece of his face left too. In place of it, was an eye glowing blood red, and a skull of metallic luster. Fear was no longer the fuel for Scar, it suddenly turned on him. In fear, he began to hurl bigger rocks at mufasa, and try to send him back into the gorge before the stampede had died down. Fear began to whisper to him that Mufasa will live, and his plan will fail. Fear whispered to him, and said that he was going to be dead soon. More rocks were thrown, and more flesh was knocked off. Finally, Mufasa was knocked back into what was left of the stampede. Scar continued to watch with his legs buckling from the worry of his brother's return, as he heard a familiar scream off in the distance again to accompany the fall. The stampede finally finished coursing through the gorge, and without Mufasa returning up the face of the cliff. Now Simba will no longer be thrown into the gorge, but it no longer mattered as to how he would meet his fate. Scar sighed contentedly, as he gazed into the floor of the gorge. What met his eyes only gave him a sickened horror. Where a crushed pulp should be, there was a creature unlike any he had seen. Once again, it got up, and shook what remained of a furry pelt off of it, and glared at Scar with two red, glowing eyes. With the sun shining off of it's skeletal body, the metallic creature leapt again at the rock face, and began ascending towards Scar for the fourth time. This time, Scar realized he was done for, and just began running-- running away from as far as he could get from the creature. But he could hear a rhythmic clanking of it's paws as it closed the gap between them. He could feel it slash at his hind paws, and cause him to trip. He could feel it dredge up his heart from his chest, and crush it in front of him. he could see the metal jaws close in on his throat, and then suddenly-- Scar woke up. With the sweat pouring off his body, and with his bodily excretions and loss of breath plagueing him, he looked out of his cave to see the sun just beginning to creep over the horizon. Today was the day. The End. Hee hee...
