Out in the wild again! [leaping around] Msafiri: I guess I don't know him that much yet Ziana: He's just mysterious Zell: Heard that!

Zell: [The words finally getting to him] WHAT! Since when!? [looks at Msafiri] Msafiri: Well, last night. Zell: After we left Pride Rock? Msafiri: Yup, that night Ana: [smiling] Oh Ziana. [nuzzling her] Msafiri: [walks closer to Zell] [whispers] I don't get it Zell: [whispers back] Me too, well, I guess I should kind of like, nuzzle her too. Msafiri: Fine Zell: [Walking to Ziana and nuzzling her] Parent hood. The trouble you got yourself in, better watch out! You got a cub with a troublemakers blood. [chuckles] Ziana: I got it from you and mom! Ana: That's right! [laughing] Msafiri: [looking at Zell] Trouble? Zell: When we were young, [looks at Ana] in mid-adolescence, I got her into adventures around the jungle and she got me in trouble in some escape missions when we were grounded. [laugh] Msafiri: Talk about dating Zell: Hahaha, we started pretty early, you see, Ana here star-- Ouch Ana: [nudging Zell in the ribs with her fore paws] Zell: Okay okay!

Ziana: What did you do as a cub Dad? You didn't tell it to me clearly Zell: ................. Ana: Ziana... Zell: Nothing much Ziana: Oh, sorry Zell: It's alright... I mean... It's twelve years ago right? And it doesn't mean anything to me now, but, and... ~ FLASHBACK~ Mufasa: Aaaaaaahhh! Simba: Noooooooo! Zell: [hearing them] Dad!? Stampede finishes Zell: [walks out of the crease] Dad? Simba: Dad? [meets up with Zell] Zell: What happened? I heard Dad shouting. Simba: H-h-he fell off the cliff [holding back his tears] Zell: [sadly almost crying] let's go find him. Simba: [looks at the withered tree where he hanged] Dad? dust clears up Simba: DAD! Zell: where? Simba: [runs under the withered tree] [weakly] Daad! Zell: [stops as he see's Mufasa's corpse] Dad... [turns away from the sight] [cry] Simba: [also in tears] Dad... C'mon wake up... It's time to go. Simba: Somebody! [pause] Anybody... [pause] [weakly] help. Zell: ..................... Next Scene:- Horde: [shouting now] YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH HIM!!! Shogan: {attacks Horde at the neck spraying blood everywhere} Horde: [grunts] Ughhh [collapses] [bleeds like hell] Zell: HORDE!!!!! NOOOOO!!! [jumping out of the bushes] Shogan: Ahhhh, Zell. Perfect timing. Thor, Marina and Adel together with some leopards arrive. Marina: What happened? We heard you sh-- Adel: [gasp, noticing the bloody body of the leopard king] Thor: What happened. Marina: [cries] next scene:- Scar: Ask Shogan yourself? [whistle] Shogan: [Emerges from behind a rock together with Marina, Thor and A leopard.] Well, well, well... we meet again murderer. Zell: NO!!! I am not a MURDERER!!! I DID NOT KILL HORDE YOU DID!!!! Shogan: Must we all have to shout? How about asking one of your 'Friends' What they think of you. Zell: [looks at Marina] Marina? [Looks at Thor] Thor? .............No....... Scar: Well, what an.... elaborating reunion. Here's a celebration. HYENA'S ATTACK SIMBA!!!!! Nala: NO!!! ~back to reality~ Ziana: Dad!? Zell: [opening his eyes] [noticing he was on his side on the ground] Huh? W-what happened? Ziana: You were talking and then you just like... Blacked out. Msafiri: Yeah... Freaky Ana: Are you okay? Zell: [standing up] Where are we? Ana: We decided if we waited it would be dangerous, and if we stayed there for the night, it would take longer for us to reach the Travellers land. So, we carried you. Msafiri: Any idea what happened? Zell: No idea... I was just thinking... thinking of m-- Ziana: Never mind dad, it's okay, you don't have to tell us anymore. We understand Ana: You might faint again. I guess it is all from stress. Zell: [pause] Yeah... I guess it is just, stress. It's still noon, lets keep going. Msafiri: Are you sure? Your not tired or anything are you? Zell: Nah... I guess that black out was my type of nap. Simba's Half:- Simba: NO! Nala: But Zazu! This is unreasonable! Simba: I won't allow it! Zazu: But Zell has-- Simba: I know! Zell has left! I know! But this doesn't mean that he is out of this Pride! Zazu: Sire! The law says that once a lion goes to another Pride, he is considered-- Simba: [conjoined growl] Keep Quiet! This is an exception! Zell will still be part of this Pride! [forcefully walking to Zazu with an aggresive stance] Wether you like it or not! Zazu: [fly's into the air] This is not acceptable! You are not suited to-- Simba: Listen! Zell promised he will be back in a year or so! Ziana is-- Zazu: I know! I wanted Zell to stay also and accept him also.... But the law says so. Nala: Who made this rule anyway!? Zazu: Let's see.... [thinking] I forgot Simba: [growls and paces] ZELL WILL BE PART OF THIS PRIDE! Kiara: [hearing all the shouting] What's going on? Kovu: [walks beside Kiara] Something the matter? Simba: Zazu says that Zell is no longer welcome in this Pride. Kovu: What!? He can't do that!!!!! Kiara: Thats... No! How can you say that! Zazu! Zazu: I know! Its all so complicated, but the law is-- Simba: The law you don't even know who made it! Zazu: Bu- Simba: Enough of this talk! Zell will still be part of this Pride and he will always be! And so will any other Lion who leaves Pride Rock Unless exile! This Law will no longer Exist! Zazu: [sighing] Very well... But this is outrageous! [fly's away] Kovu: [seeing Zazu out of sight] What's gotten into him? Simba: I don't know Nala: It's very weird... I mean, we had plenty of outcasts come in here before. Conversation continues Zazu's Half:- ~night~ Zazu: [thought] This isn't as planned... [flying down and landing on a small grassy plain] [not thought] Hello? Voice: So? Zazu: [worried scream] [turns around] Don't scare me like that Adui! Adui: So!? Did it go well? Zazu: No... Simba was furious! He was-- Adui: Shut up! He didn't take bait... Zazu: Adui! I can't do this anymore! I am a major domo and since you blackmailed me-- Adui: I know! I know! So if you do not do this next task and so on, Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kovu will certainly die in a wonderfully painful death. Zazu: Listen! I'm doing this for Simba and if you hurt them! Adui: Do you think I'm that liar!? Zazu: Well you are Scar's son. Adui: [snarl] Just do this! Zazu: Do what!? Adui: Tomorrow, tell Simba that a group of 3 lions are trailing Zell. Say it is lead by Drego, they are approaching the Leap Lands. Okay!? Zazu: What's going to happen? Adui: Well, if you tell Simba, it's dead bird to you. Here's the catch. Simba, of course, will go after them alone and then, in the leap lands, he will meet Zell, he is going there, so I have heard. He will of, course, bring Zell back to the Pride Lands. Zell will of course tell Ziana, Ana and Msafiri to go to the T-lands while he goes back. And then, when Simba and Zell are alone.... Zazu: You know Zell too much Adui: I just can't wait to see that bloody helpless face of Zell, crying out in pain and finally gasping my favorite sound. Death Zazu: Give me one good reason wh-- Adui: Your dead if you do anyhting fishy remember? Zazu: Don't hurt Simba Adui: Oh, I won't. Make sure he goes this time. ~The next day~ Zell's Half:- Zell: [yawn] [standing up] Ziana: Morning! So? Awake already? Zell: Uh, Yeah. Ziana: You wake up so late nowadays. Zell: Where's your mom? Ziana: She's around here somewhere. Zell: This place looks familiar... [looking around] Ziana: Sure is! Were in the leap lands! Zell: What!? We came here just before we slept? Msafiri: [entering the scene] Morning Zell. Surprised too huh? Guess it was to dark for us to notice that it was the leap lands. Zell: Lets stop by mid-mountain first. I want to see Marina and the others. Ana: [entering the scene] So? What are you waiting for. Let's go, it's already afternoon thanks to a little somebody. Zell: [chuckles] Hey, not my fault. Let's go, it won't be far. ~Meanwhile~ Simba's Half:- Zazu: So, you see sire. There has been pawprints all over. Simba: You're sure you saw this!? Nala: Simba! You have to do something fast! Zell and his family could be in danger! Simba: I'm on it! [breaking to a run] Kiara: Wait! Dad! I'll come with you! Simba: [stopping] No, it's too dangerous! I'll go ahead! [runs to the distance] Nala: [seeing Simba out of sight] Mind your father. Kiara: I already know his tactics, anyway. Mom, have you seen Kovu anywhere? Nala: Not since this morning. He was walking around the Pride Lands, why don't you look for him? Kiara: I will. [runs away] Nala: Be careful! Kiara: [in the distance] I will! ~A couple of hours later~ Zell's Half:- Marina: Zell! Welcome!!! Zell: Long time no see old friend! [hugging Marina] Marina: [breaks from the hug] Ziana and Msafiri! I see [looks at Ziana] you have a consort now. Ziana: Ha ha.. yeah. Msafiri: Good to see you again Marina: Ana, haven't seen you since the battle on Pride Rock. You've grown Ana: Thanks. Marina: Why don't you stay here for awhile? Continue your journey tomorrow? Zell: Thanks! We would be glad to. Marina: It's settled then. [looks at Ana, Msafiri and Ziana] Why don't you three make yourselves at home? I want to have a word with Zell. Msafiri: Come on guys. [leading Ziana and Ana deeper in the cave] Zell: So, what's happening? Marina: Nothing much, just heed this warning. Zell: Boy this is serious... What? Marina: I hear that since you beat Drego and Adui-- Zell: You know about them? Marina: Yes, as I was saying, they don't give up easily, they might be plotting something against you. Zell: So? What's the bad news? Marina: [chuckles] They won't be bothering you for a long time. Zell: Okay... I guess I'll go find the others then. [walking out] Marina: Okay... See ya ~Night~ Simba: [whispering] Zell? Zell! Wake up! Zell: [sleepily] Huh? W-w... Simba? [standing up noticing everyone asleep] Simba: We've got to go now! Zell: Why? Simba: There are some guy who want to kill you! We'd better go now! Zell: [fully awake] Huh? What about Ziana and-- Simba: It's okay, they can make it without you, the concern of these lions are only you! They will not harm them. Zell: [looking at Ziana] [sigh] Not again..... [goes to Ziana and licks her forehead and does the same to Ana and makes a quick nuzzle to Msafiri] I'll miss all of you.... Goodbye. Simba: Come on! [running out of the cave] Zell: [running out] Simba: Zell... I'm sorry but if you die... Zell: S'okay... I'm used to it. Simba: Wait! [stopping] Listen! Zell: [stopping] *growl* Simba: Oh no! Adui: [jumps out of the bushes and knocks Simba unconsious] Zell: Simba! YOU! [stares menacingly at Adui] Adui: Oh, well. [knocks Zell unconsious] Zell: [as he gets unconsious] Ana~~~~~ ~Next Day~ Zell: W-whe-who? Adui: Awake huh!? Zell: [standing up] Where am I!? [noticing a small border of trees on the right and plain lands on the left] Adui: I don't know myself, but it is far enough for anyone to find your pathetic body Zell: So... You are planning to--- Voice 1: Run away Zell: Who said that!? Adui: Say what? Voice 2: Now! The beast! Zell: Adui... Where exactly did you bring me to? Adui: Dunno... I'll just kill you okay? Voice 3: Hurry! Zell: Well.... I have some voices in my head... It's creepin me out Adui: You're crazy Voice 5: Hurry! Tell my Hean that I will always be there! Go! Zell: What!? Adui: I said you are crazy Zell: No... Adui: Shocking isn't it? Now cut it out! Zell: [getting dizzy] I... Voices Voice 4: The beast killed us! Zell: I think youd better kill me somewhere else Adui: Why? Zell: Well, the voices say that a-- * roar, very spine chilling * Adui: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!? Zell: Don't know! Voice 1: RUN!!! The beast is coming to get you! Zell: RUN!!! [running to the jungle] Adui: [following Zell] Zell: [running and looking at Adui at the same time] What is it!? Adui: I don't know! Now just keep running! Voice 2: Go! Go! Zell: All right! You voices just what is happening here!? Voice 3: The killer that made disappearances and took lions one by one. ~~~~ Note: Part of Heans story ~~~~ Zell: What's this about Hean? Voice 4: He is my son Voice 5: And mine Adui: Who the hell are you talking to!? [looking back] Zell: Some dead people. I'm not sure. Voice 1: Go to the jungle! Zell: Were almost near the jungle! Adui: Why the jungle!? Zell: Just trust me for once! It doesn't matter if you kill me later but right now it is survival! Adui: Whatever! Just Get on with it! ~Meanwhile~ Simba's half:- Ziana: Uncle? Simba? Wake up Simba: Ughh.... Ziana? [standing up] ZELL! Ziana: He's gone... [crying] Msafiri: It's... Do you know anything? Why are you here? Simba: I came to get Zell... I was trying to get him out of here because Zazu told me that there was an assasination. Msafiri: Assasination!? Simba: Adui knocked me unconcious... Ziana: Adui! He's back! Simba: It was.... Ziana: Daddy! Gone.... [running into the cave] Msafiri: Ziana! [turns back to Simba] Simba.... [runs back to find Ziana] Simba: [sigh] [looks up at the sky] Father! What have I done? Mufasa: [appears in sky] Simba... Find him... [disappears] Simba: [running and tries finding the trail of Zell] Msafiri's Half:- Msafiri: Where are you going? [see's Ziana creeping out of the cave] Ziana: I'm going out to find dad! Msafiri: But-- Ziana: Just keep quiet.... Sorry, I just want to find him. Msafiri: But I want to go with you. [smiles] Ziana: Thanks... [licks Msafiri on the cheek] Msafiri: [retruns with a nuzzle] Lets go. Both lions run off also in search of Zell ~Meanwhile Zell's Half:- Adui: We made it! Now why are we in the jungle? Zell: Dont know Beast: [roar] Zell: Lets go deeper Adui: This is only temporary! [runs with Zell] Zell: Whatever! [enters a clearing and stops] Adui: [stops] So! Zell: SO!? You brought US to a place you don't even know stuck with a murderer on the loose! [walks aggresively towards Adui] All because you wanted to kill me! Adui: [snarls] Listen! I didn't know! Zell: So, tell me this! Why do you want to kill me!? [clears throat] Sorry... I mean... Why do you want to kill me? Did I do something wrong? If we want to survive, we have to trust each other... We have to open up. Adui: [looks around] Fine! [sits down] You first! Zell: [sits down in front of Adui, face to face, eyecontact] I was born in Pride Rock along with Simba. Adui: I know! Lets just skip to the part to somewhere else that I don't know. Zell: Okay. Scar told us to wait in the gorge one day when Simba and I were still cubs. Then, suddenly, Scar asked the hyenas to cause a stampede, of course, he knew our dad was bound to save us. He saved Simba, I was safely in a crease, the stampede caused by the hyenas killed dad. We didn't know it was Scar then. Adui: Wait! You are telling me, Scar killed Mufasa? Zell: Yeah... Anyway, Simba and me were separated, he went somewhere and I went into the Leap Lands. I grew up to adolescence with the care of the Leopards. Some leopards hated me, they killed the king and accused me for killing him. Adui: ......... Zell: I ran away and met another Pride, the outcasts... I met Ana, she brought and introduced me to the Pride. Drego challenged me to a duel. Adui: Drego came from there huh? Go on Zell: I fought him the next day and fell in love with Ana overnight. Adui: [rolls his eyes] Zell: I grew up and soon thougt that I should find my brother. Simba. I found him and Nala, Ana followed me, All of us went to Pride Rock and showdown with Scar and the leopard who killed the leeopard king. Adui: Thats it? Zell: Yeah, your turn. Adui: I lived with Zira, my mother, she trained me with Nuka to hate you and Simba. I soon ran away, after I stole... Zell: Kovu? Adui: You know about that? Zell: Dreamt it Adui: I stole him and brought him to Zira and left. Thats it Zell: Thats it? Short... Adui: Listening to your story.... It makes me feel I have been on the wrong side all along. Zell: [thought] Of course! Didn't you see it when you tried killing me? [not thought] And your point is? Adui: [stands up] I'm sorry. Zell: What!? I mean Thats great! Adui: Zira told me that Scar was the real king and... When Simba and You came, I thought that you were invaders so... To me you guys killed my father for no reason. Zell: It's okay, as long as you stop hating, killing and SLASHING ME ON THE CHEST! [remembering his ambush] Geez, whats it with me and chest slashes! [laughs] So, friends? [raises a paw] Adui: [pauses] [raises a paw and puts it over Zells] It will take me a long time to get used of it... Thanks... Friend. Zell: [smiles] Camera backs out ~Meanwhile~ Simba's Half:- Simba: [thought] What lands are these? [stops running and looks around] I've never been here before. [sniffs the air] Zell has definately been here... * Rustle* Simba: What!? Who's there! Ziana: [walking out of the bushes] What? You too? Msafiri: [walking next to Ziana] We are here to find Zell Simba: .... [looking at Ziana observing her] Ziana: What? Something the matter? Simba: You're pregnant aren't you? Ziana: ... Well... Yeah-- Simba: The more the dangerous! Do you know how dangerous this is? Ziana: I know! He is my dad! I will find him along with you and Msafiri. Argument Continues Zell's half:- ~sunset~ Voice 2: Go now Voice 4: He is much more deadlier at night. Zell: What? Adui: I didn't say anything Zell: I mean, the voices. What are we dealing with? Voice 5: A pack of tigers Zell: A pack of what? Voice 4: Just go! They are as fast as lions and they are silent, cunnning, deadly and they could attack in stealth! Zell: Yeah right! Voice 2: GO! Zell: C'mon Adui, lets go. We are fighting against a pack of tigers... Whatever they are. Adui: Tigers... Oh yeah! Those stripy guys who almost look like us. I have never seen one but I hear they are cunning. Zell: Right... The more we shouldn't stay here, we haven't seen them, we don't know these lands and we are outnumbered. Adui: [walking out to the plains] It's safe... [walks further out Zell following beside him] Zell: It really is quiet here... Lets run it before they catch us. [breaks into a run] Voice: And where do you think you're going? Zell: .... Thats not the voices... [turns around] Tiger 1: My name is Garund, leader and the owner of these lands. Tiger 2: I am Tre, assasin expert Zell: [whispering to Adui] Geez, do they really have to introduce like that? Tiger 3: I am Irif Tiger 4: Oyu Garund: You have come to our lands! You won't escape alive Zell: ............ [testily] Why? Garund: [annoyed] Oyu: Who are you!? Zell: Umm.... Zell Irif: The Zell? Adui: [whispering to Zell] Are you that famous? Zell: [whispering back] yeah... I get that a lot Tre: No way! Well... At least my chance for killing one of the most strongest lion is finally here Adui: [looks at Zell] Talk about fame... Zell: Tell me about it Oyu: What about you! [looks at Adui] Adui: ... Adui Garund: Enough! You will come with us Zell: * Try to tell me what I... shouldn't do. You should know by now... That I won't listen to you! Garund: [snarls] Zell: Walk around now with my mind, up in the air... Cause I don't care! Adui: .... Zell? Zell: Cause I'm all right, Just Freak out Let it go! Adui: You're getting a little overboard Zell: [ignoring] I'm gonna live my life! I can't ever run and hide. I won't compromise, cause I'll never know! Oyu: And we are going to kill you right here! Tre: Shut up! Zell: Or else what? ~~~~ I've extracted some lines from Avril Lavigne's lyrics ( They suit it ) The title is " Freak out, Let it go " It starts on some lines above this marked with * Question: Do tigers roar? I've never seen or heard one do it but do they? ~~~~ Tre: [leaps at Zell with paws ready to strike] Zell: [knowing he is aiming at his chest] Not this time! [backhand slaps the tiger slapping him back to his group] Adui: I didn't know you could do that. Zell: [smirks] Watch me Voice behind them: Zell? Zell: Wha-- [turns around] Simba!? Simba: Adui! Ziana: [appears with Msafiri beside Simba] Dad? Msafiri: What is... Tigers! Tre: [growls] Simba: Let me guess... Got yourself into another fight? One against five? Zell: No... Adui is... misunderstood. He's on our side. Msafiri: What!? Zell: Hard to believe... Live with it Adui: Sorry... Irif: Enough talk! Four lions and a lioness. Oyu: Pathetic Zell: [whispers something to everyone exept the tigers] Irif: [laughing] That lioness is pregnant! Garund: Hey! Where'd they go? Zell: [running away with the rest] Bye! Irif: Hey! Come back here! [running after them] Simba: [running along side Zell] Now isn't this scene familiar? Zell: Huh? ~FLASH BACK~ Zazu: My, my, my, look at the sun. It's time to go. [pushing Nala, Simba and Zell out] Shenzie: What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick for dinner. Bonzai: Yeah, we could have whatever is, Lying around [laughter] {While saying this} Zell: [whispering to Simba] You go. I'll distract them. Simba nodded and gestured to Zazu who got the idea. Shenzie: Hey I got one I got one! Make mine a cub sandwich! What d'ya think? [hysterical laghter] Zell: Hey! You! Shenzie: What? Zell: How about Fast food? Shenzie: What about it? Zell: well look over there. Zell points to a random direction. Shenzie, Bonzai and Ed looked to the direction Zell was pointing. Shenzie: Well there's nothing there but a--- Hey! Where'd they go!? Bonzai: Over there. [pointing to Zell climbing over a bone hill] Get 'em! Zell was running, catching up with Nala and Simba. Nala: We lost them! Simba: Where's Zazu? Zell: C'mon let's go. The hyena's may still be prowling around. [hyena's emerge from a rock behind them] Bonzai: You mean "They may be following us, however we run" Shenzie: You got it! Whatever let's just eat 'em Zell: This is the part where we run away ~Back to reality~ Zell: Oh yeah! I remember now! It was when I tried to distract the hyenas! Simba: You got it! It seems like it's on replays! Zell: I guess its part of our system. Getting into trouble. Ziana: Dad? What are you two talking about? Zell: [chuckles] Nothing, just about how we got into trouble when we were cubs. Msafiri: There! I see it! The border! Zell: You mean that river dividing? [looks at Adui] How did you get me across that? Adui: I threw you. Zell: What!? Adui: I threw you. Just grabbed you from the neck and tossed you. Zell: [trying to locate any pain at his neck and feels a a bite mark] Ah...... Tre: We're gonna get you! Zell: This is useless! Simba: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! Zell: You think they will stop at the border? [stops and confronts the tigers] Simba: Not again! [stops, turns around and sides with Zell] Msafiri, Adui and Ziana: [doing the same thing] Irif: About time! Tre: You all are dead! [smirks at Ziana] And you miss... Msafiri: [growls protectively] Oyu: Hehe... What are you going to do? [addressing Msafiri] Garund: Oyu, thats enough! So, Zell.... Accept your destiny and seal your fate Zell: [sneers] Yeah right. You think I would just give up all my will, family, friends and life because you said so? You're nuts! Tre: HE ASKED YOU NICELY Zell: And I will "politely" ask to leave. Adui, Ziana, Msafiri and Simba: [knowing this tone] *sigh* Oyu: No! Zell: Why? Tre: Because We said so! Zell: So? Garund: You'd better get your but moving or-- Zell: Else what? Adui: [whispering] I think this would be enough now.... Irif: You are going to pay-- Zell: Why? Simba: [whispering] Zell.... Enough already, we don't want to-- Tre: This is pointless! Just-- Zell: shut up? Sure, if you let us go we will Garund: Listen! You are getting on my very last nerve! Msafiri: [nervously whispering] C'mon Zell, he said he is getting on his last nerve! Zell: Do I care? Irif: [snarls] You! Ziana: [whispers] Dad? Just, drop it. Zell: are what? Garund: KILL HIM! Tre: [leaps at Zell] Zell: Not this time! [slashes across Tre's face] Tre: ARGHH!! YOU ______ Irif: [attacks Ziana] Msafiri: Ziana! [pushing Irif off with a slash] Garund: [pounces and pins Zell down] Helpless! ~~~~~~ Okay, this is more like a battle so like before, I'm gonna switch to narrative version ~~~~~~ Zell stared feircely into Garunds eyes, he could hear Adui's growls and the sound of his paws swiping through the air. "So? Is this your true strength? I guess the so called 'legend' is no more than a pathetic loser just like you lions should be!" Garund said as he stares back while pinning Zell to the ground. "Not quite" Zell sighed. Pushing his hind legs tipping Garund vertically switching places with Garund. "Learnt that trick by myself. I guess no-one ever learns" Zell released Garund waiting for him to get his balance on his feet. The air was moist and musty. The small but fierce battle between two different species raged on, Zell and Garund were on a showdown. After a few bloody strikes leaving Zell and Garund bleeding. Zell tired, weary and almost about to sleep, he tires of this fighting and finally decides to break the concentration of his foe Garund. "Garund! Why do you do this?" Zell said ignoring the sounds of the howls and growls of pain. "Don't you see?" Garund chuckled hysterically. "You lions are just all talk, you are nothing special!" Garund leapt as he raised a paw for a series of slashes simultaneously. "DIE!" Zell lept out of the way escaping with a deep cut on his left arm. Growling in pain, he raised his right paw and sliced through the air finally finding his way to the face of Garund. "Ha... You look tougher than I thought" Zell waits and eases his muscles. < Let him live> A voice called in Zell's head. < He has done terrible things but dont kill him> Zell inhaled and feels the wind passing around his mane. "ENOUGH!" He shouted halting all fighting activity around the area. Msafiri was bleeding, obviously the effort trying to fight off two tigers trying to protect Ziana. Simba was pinning down Tre and Adui was beside Msafiri bleeding equally. Ziana lay on the ground tired and breathing heavily. < Tell the tigers to leave you alone > "Can you just leave us alone?" Zell trying to keep up with the voices. "And why would we do that?" Garund said menacingly. <......> "Well, for one, we are cousins? Then there is no purpose for this fighting." Zell said hoping that they would find it reasonable. Zell noticed Tre relaxing. "Look! I don't know what you are doing! But I don't like it!" Garund almost shouting. Simba limped beside Zell and nods at Zell. They were used to these type of peaceful endings. "Zell, nice one. Let's go" Simba forced Zell to turn around. "All of us are finished here, we are evenly matched, no one is strong or weak. Let us go brother." Simba looked tenderly at Zell who who noticed his weariness. "Garund." Sighed Zell. "I hope you won't hold a grudge against me, please let us go, I don't know what we did to you. Let us forget this and make peace shall we?" "Never!" Garund snarled. "Hey, Garund!" Irif walked in front of Garund. "Let them go, we'll get back at them somehow... soon" "Are you kidding!? We've almost beat them!" Garund was almost in the middle of a meltdown. Tre walked beside Garund whispered something in his ear and knocked him unconsious with a quick but powerful chop at the back of his neck. "Sorry" Tre said and looked at Zell. "I don't know where you got those speeches but, I just got the message. What are we fighting for? Don't tell me, just go, Garund will not be unconcious for long." Oyu walked up limping towards Ziana, Msafiri growling as he did. "Relax, Sorry about wounding you." Oyu said to Ziana and Msafri. "Good luck in parenting" He chuckled. He picked up Garund by the arms and dragged him back to the jungle along with all the other tigers. ~~~~~~ Do you prefer narrative version? I do but it takes a lot of time. There are more details but this makes me feel dizzy if I read it on the website. I'll go back to script version again. Maybe in my next story I will. Okay? If you prefer script version tell me now by sending me an e-mail in jedpaolo04@hotmail.com ~~~~~~ The Lions: [watching the tigers fade in the distance] Msafiri: [weakly] Are you okay Ziana? [licking her] Ziana: I'm... I'm alright... You're wounded! Msafiri: [grunts] [collapses] Ziana: Msafiri! Zell: [running over to Msafiri and observes him] He wont make it if he stays here! He won't make it if we go also! Ziana: NO! DAD HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!? [crying] Simba: Ziana, it's-- Ziana: It's NOT OKAY! Zell: [thinking] There must be a way.... Adui: What happens if we stay here? Whats wrong with him? Simba: He's in very bad shape Zell: If we stay here, he would bleed to death until morning unless we do something. If we move him, blood loss will intensify and will die by night. Adui: You mean... this is it? Ziana: [sobbing] Msafiri, [nuzzling him] Don't die.... Zell: [thinking harder] There... must...... ~FLASH BACK~ ( not in any episodes I created so don't bother looking for it) ~Sunset~ Zell ( in adolescence ): Argghh! [slipping down into a thorny bush and sharp stones] Dang! That Drego! He set that trap for me again! Ana: [nuzzling Zell] It's okay, we'll get back at him later. [looking at Zell noticing his wounds] It's not that bad-- Zell: The way you see it. It hurts! [walking as each step hurt him so bad] Ana: Don't you remember what Dad told you? Just go find the herb which has.... Ummm, I forgot.. What herb was that again? Something with.... well, it's supposed to be green. Zell: Well, thats helpful. Ana: And it's.... It grows on a bush. Zell: Duh... Ana: It grows on a bush with blue flowers! Zell: In this Jungle!? Hello? We are in AFRICA! Ana: Oh yeah.... Zell: Didn't he say something about getting a leaf from some kind of bush, mash it up mix it in water, wait for it to become a greenish liquid or something? Ana: But which bush? Zell: I remember him taking it from that bush [looking at a bush filled with the greenest leaves ever, beside a tree with alot of vines hanging down] Ana: [Biting the leaf off the bush] I'll bring this to Dad. Stay here! [runs off] ~Later~ Gund: [appears with Ana] Well, quite a mess you've made. You are losing a lot of blood! But you'll be fine. Even if you are bleeding like crazy, you'll be just fine. Wash it off with water and leave the rest to your body. ~~~~ This is not a fact, it is fiction. But the part about the body doing it by itself is true. Blood Clotting, although it wont be enough to save your life. ~~~~ ~Back to reality~ Zell: He's alright... Ziana: What? Zell: Just wash off the blood with water, it will make his body easier to clot. Let's stay here for the night. Ziana, help me carry Msafiri to the river. We need to soak his wounds... Yours too, although it's not as serious as his. Adui: The fool, he doesn't even know how to defend himself. Ziana: Thats not true! He was protecting me! Adui: Hmph! Ziana: Listen! If you-- Zell: Ziana! Stop, Adui, you too. Just get along now, Adui, you are in the good side, maintain the 'goodness' just don't make anyone too annoyed. [picking Msafiri up] Adui: [picking Msafiri up too] [snarls at Ziana] Simba: Watch it! [snarls back at Adui] Ziana: [looks sternly] Adui: [drops Msafiri] Ziana: Hey! Zell: Adui! Get your butt here and help me! Adui: [picking Msafiri up] Ziana: But he-- Simba: I saw it too! Zell: I know! Now will the three of you keep quiet!? Msafiri is going to die! Ziana: [lies down] I'll wait here. Zell: [nods and walks to the river] Simba, stay with her ~Ziana's Half~ Ziana: [thought] I can't believe Dad made friends with Adui! Simba: Hey, you alright? Ziana: I can't beilive dad made friends with the assasin who almost killed him! Simba: How'd you know about that!? Ziana: Mom told me. Simba: Oh.... At least Zell is friends with Adui now, at least we know he's safe with him now. Ziana: How'd you know he's safe? Is this some kind of plan to get closer to him and then kill!? Simba: [remembering Kovu] I know, but things aren't what they seem. Ziana: Tell that to Kiara! Simba: [stung] Hey! It is not sure of okay!? I don't even trust him too! Zell in the distance: [very low voice] I HEARD THAT! THINGS BETTER'D BE OKAY WHEN WE COME BACK!!! Simba: I was wrong about Kovu okay!? I learnt my mistake! Ziana: Who's side are you on? Watching my dad get killed by some Spy? Or protect him! Simba: Zell is smarter than me, he knows what he's doing, trust him. Ziana: Sorry... Just upset thats all.... Simba: It's okay... Ziana: Ouch! Simba: What!? Ziana: Cubs... Simba: Oh, that... [laughs] Ziana: Whats so funny? Simba: Nothing it was just funny, Zell and I were so worried about becoming fathers, we were so panicked! Are you nervous of becoming a mother? Ziana: Now that I think of it... I am, it didn't occur to me until now... Simba: [chuckles] It's bound to hit you sooner or later. There was a long pause until Zell, Msafiri and Adui came back Zell: So, what seems to be the problem? Simba: Nothing... Ziana: Dad? Zell: Yeah? Ziana: Do you think that I sh-- Adui: Zell! Come here. Zell: Huh? Why? Adui: Just come! Zell: Ziana... I'm sorry... I know we don't have time... I have to take this. [walks off to Adui out of earshot] Ziana: ....Yeah... Simba: [walks beside Ziana] Don't worry, he will find a way soon. Ziana: [lies down beside Msafiri] Msafiri.... [licks him] Please be well.... Simba: I'll leave you two alone. [walks somewhere] Ziana: Wait! Don't go alone nearly at night... Dangerous Simba: [stops] You're right Ziana: Uncle? Simba: Yeah? Ziana: Nothing... I just like calling you that... I mean, it's fascinating having a king as an uncle while I'm just a-- Simba: Hey, it's okay... Let me tell you a story about me and your father. Ziana: ..... Simba: Me and Zell were exiled... I bet you heard that part alot of times. Ziana: Yeah Simba: And then we were separated, I collapsed in the middle of nowhere. I was rescued by Timon and Pumbaa... They raised me, growing to a mature lion.... Although I hate to say it but they kind of made me into an immature lion or maybe even gay or something... Then one day, Nala, my wife, came to the jungle in search of help. We fought and finally recognising each other, Zell showed up hungry and attempting to eat Pumbaa. [laughs] Ziana: [smiling weakly. still depressed] Simba: I had my romance with Nala, Zell came in teased us and then Ana, your mother came in kind of like nuzzling Zell, but then eventually, Zell asked Nala and Ana to leave. He had a private talk with me telling me to go back to Pride Rock with him. I refused and we ended up growling and shouting at each other. Ziana: Did you fight? Simba: No, but just an argument, more like a brother to brother thing. Ziana: Okay [snuggling closer to Msafiri] Simba: Zell got so angry he walked off. I bet he was scratching some trees trying to unleash his anger upon that... Anyway, Nala came in hearing the shouts and also preached me. I got so angry also I ran away to the hills. I met Rafiki, he helped me into realising my wrongs and gave me some motivation. I left to Pride Rock. Ziana: Yeah... I know the rest from here... Zell and Adui enters again. Zell: Ziana... I have something to tell you.......... Simba: .....? Ziana: [standing up] What? Adui: [looks at Zell and nods] Ziana: Is this bad? Adui: The T-lands are gone... Ziana: WHAT!? Msafiri: [moves slightly] [grunts] Ziana: [lowering her voice] Why!? Adui: Drego got his pack of lions there, the ones you fought. He told about Msafiri's prescence with you, the daughter of Zell. He kept telling bad things about Zell... So they thought that they should help Drego, kill Zell, you and then Msafiri... There are no travellers left. Ziana: no.. [lies down beside Msafiri] [cries] Zell: [nuzzles Ziana] It's alright... I'll be there for you... shhhhh [softening his voice] Ziana..... Don't cry... Ziana: [sobs returning the nuzzle] Msafiri: Z-Zianaa? [opens his eyes] Ziana: Msafiri! Msafiri: What happened? [looking at his wounds] Ouch... Ziana: Msafiri... [breaks from her father's nuzzle and lick Msafiri] I'm sorry... Msafiri: [weakly] why? w-whats-- Adui: [scoffs] Enough already. [under his breath] Geez are you lions this emotinal? [normal tone] T-lands is dead! Gone! Extinct! The lions you fought on your last battle were your so called pride! T-lands is DEAD! Msafiri: [closes his eyes] Zell: Adui.... Cool it.... [turns to Msafiri] Hey... you okay? [lowers his head to match the level of Msafiri's face] Don't lose hope... We will go to the T-lands. We are not sure of this, you always can create a new pride. Why not do it within the Pride Lands? Msafiri: [weakly] My......... [stands up] No, you're right.... [ignoring the seering pain] Ziana: Msafiri! [standing up] Lie down, your wounds. Simba: You'd better do as she says. Your wounds may not heal. Msafiri: [lies down] Yeah... maybe so... Zell: I'm really... REALLY sorry.... But let's go anyway... We are not sure of this. Adui: Trust me... There are no more lions there. But you are always welcome to try... [turns around walking away] Simba: HEY! Where are you going? Adui: [faces Simba] I... Your majesty, am going away... Simba: ??? Adui: [turns to Zell] This co-operation WAS temporary... No it has expired... I'll get you one day Zell! Zell: What!? But I thought you understood.... What about that talk we had in the jungle!? Adui: WE'RE STILL RIVALS! [shrugs and runs off leaving a pregnant lioness, two injured lions and a badly injured lion] Zell: Well... I guess you can't change his attitude Simba: Somehow I can never know you too well Zell: [chuckles] Live with it [playfully nudges Simba] I'm your brother Simba: [smiles] Ziana: So? Whats the plan now? Zell: By the way, what happened to Ana? Simba: I don't know Ziana: Mom's in the leap lands with Marina. Zell: Okay, lets get her first before leaving to the T-lands. Msafiri: No need.... Zell: Why? Msafiri: She must be---on her w-way [grunting in pain as he says this] Zell: Keep quiet... You're hurt... Simba: Look who's talking... When YOU are hurt, you keep on talking... until the time you lost your voice. Zell: [ignoring Simba] So, why? Msafiri: She's heading back to the Pride Lands now... Zell: .... That is dangerous... We have to go as soon as possible. [trying not to feel too panicked] Ziana: We'll stay here until morning then, and in the crack of dawn, we move. Zell: Agreed...
