Inspired by (and named after) Neon Tiger by The Killers. Takes place during Scar's reign, before Nala leaves and finds Simba, so it will be a bit of a rewrite of the TLK story
One dark, dry, dreary, hungry, miserable night in the Pridelands during Scar's detestable reign, a droning noise was heard throughout the plains. It was distant, and steadily growing louder. Soon, the noise was directly above the plains and seemed to be coming from some type of metal contraption. Human-related, probably. It came, and left, seeming to pay no attention to the pride below. But soon after its passing, two large wooden crates came floating down on parachutes. Inside one was a tiger; the other, a cheetah. Both were incredibly sick, because they were bound by an unknown, otherworldly force to an ice cave in the south pole. They could safely roam within about fifty miles of it. However, after leaving it, they would become sicker and sicker until, if they reached the north pole, they would die in horrible pain. Weak, but otherwise OK, the tiger and cheetah laid in their crates quietly, listening to their surroundings. They'd been dropped too soon; the men in the plane meant to take them to the north pole, to kill them and prevent any chance of revival by the same otherworldly force that bound them to the ice cave in the south pole. They would no doubt return to retrieve their captives and finish the job. The two animals knew this, and hoped desperately that someone would save them before they were discovered missing on the plane, and retrieved.
The plot is that, after being rescued by the Pridelanders, the two newcomers are eventually lead by Rafiki one night to some outlying, desolate area of the Pridelands, and freed from their otherworldly bonds by the Great Kings of the Past. They then assist Simba, once he returns, in taking back his throne and Pride.
