[PRIVATE] A Loner's Pride

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa laughed at the pitiful Taro and looked at him with malice. "Well fool since you are so anxious to see me gone why don't you challenge me? I shall give you what you deserve by eating your corpse after you die." He laughed and said, "Or if you are a coward you just go back to the cubby corner where you belong with the other cubs." He then said, "However only cowards try to take on a lion with everyone present. If you want to fight me we shall do it one on one."

He couldn't see the lioness but he shouted to her anyway. "And yes I can just come in here and take and beat up whoever I want. Think about it sweety. These fools have nothing. They have no land, no territory. They are nothing but wimps. You wouldn't want to be in love with one of these numbskulls would you?" He laughed again and said, "Oh and I was not going to pick you anyway."

He then looked at everyone, "As for playing nice and talking I would love to do that." He brandished his claws and said, "Now let's talk. Let's talk about the inhospitable environment I find myself in. You are not very good at greeting guests are you?"

He laughed again and looked at some of the other males. "You know boys, I think you have a worse chance than that lion over there, " he pointed at Taro, "at finding someone." He laughed again. He loved being a bully.

Taro and Eeve exchanged a surprised glance with one another.

The golden lion stood a bit straighter and laughed, the sound booming and full of irony. "You think you can fool me with the 'one on one' trick? Is that how you work?" His emerald eyes strayed to the other lions. "If you're here to steal females and bully everyone, then I think you deserve to be treated like a cub. Cubs don't get what they want when they're naughty. Meaning...you won't trick me into fighting you alone. I know you're stronger than I am...but you're not stronger than everyone. So go away."

Eeve snorted at the stranger haughtily and continued staring at him.

"C'mon, Eeve," Taro muttered to his companion. "Let's get out of here." The golden lion turned his back on the bully, intending to walk away.

From not too far away Wafu lay on his stomach concealed somewhat by the grass. The dark-furred adolescent had been sleeping there for quite some time but now he was fully awake all for one reason, eavesdropping. He stayed silent with just a smirk as he heard the exchange of words between this large and to his mind interesting lion and the other lion who seemed to be protecting his pride.
"Wow, this guys great" Wafu said but not too loud as he chuckled a little too. He found the larger lion's behavior quite entertaining.

[Harvs]

Sius was about to respond to Taro, when out of the blue, an absolutely atrocious lion pushed him out of the way. At first, Sius blew it off as nothing. He was naturally one to forgive and forget. But then, the large lion crossed the line by whistling at the two other lionesses. Sius had always been raised to show respect to any females, and who was this guy to come outta nowhere and think that he can do whatever he wants? Well, nobody that Sius wanted to accompany himself with.

While the insults the lion fired out at Sius and the others grazed over his head, one thing that Sius simply could not let go was how narcissistic he was acting. Pretending to be superior to everyone in that vicinity... heck, everyone in Africa. While half of Sius wanted to just walk away without saying anything, another half wanted to say something. Why? Perhaps Zera had had a bigger impact on Sius than he originally thought. Perhaps he was much braver than he was before he met her. Sius made his decision quickly, as Taro and Eeve started to walk away. I just made friends... and I'm not about to let a bully ruin that for me. He thought. No more hesitation. He spoke.

"Excuse me 'bud'." He began, at least catching the attention of the hunk of muscle. His eyes gave a menacing vibe down Sius' back. But he didn't flinch... on the outside at least. "Were you, by any chance, raised by hyenas? Or were you raised at all? I don't know about you guys, but if my cub was as mentally malformed as this guy, I certainly wouldn't want him." Small giggles echoed from the group. Sius didn't want to stop now, he was on a roll. "Ya know what the saddest part is? This is probably the greatest comeback ever, and you can't even comprehend half of my vocabulary." Sius gave a smug grin to the clearly ticked-off lion. "Now if you would be so kind as to leave, then that'd be great." Sius began walking toward Taro and Eeve, when suddenly, he thought that that might not be the best idea. Making sure to keep his distance from the other lions in the area, he said one last thing to the muscle-bound bully. "If you wanna prove your strength to someone, then prove it to me. But leave my friends out of this."

Mufalfa laughed at the pathetic Taro and said, "Why you are just going to run away like a coward? You are a bigger weakling than I thought. No matter go on and go seeing as you are not lion enough to attack me. You truly do belong in the cubby corner with the rest of these incompetant fools!" Mufalfa laughed and looked at Taro, "Oh and considering that I can actually fight and you can't I don't think I am the cub here wierdo."

Mufalfa laughed at the fool's pathetic attempt to try and 'make him sad.' He noticed everyone was laughing but kept smiling. "Ah yes go ahead and have a good laugh at the peabrain's joke." He then laughed again. 'You know peabrain the correct word is you not ya so please get some better vocabulary and another brain, perhaps bigger than the one in your head right now." He smiled but did not laugh. "As for the rest of you pathetic worms I shall prove how cruel I can be by killing this fool and then making you all eat his corpse." He simmered at Sius and said, "Oh and fool I will make sure to break every bone in your body and eat your heart from its chest so are you sure you want to challenge me?!"

He became very angry and said, "Now children we shall see how brave this," he pointed at Sius, "pathetic piece of skin really is. You see fool I like being cruel. Since everyone here is just so happy I think you need a little malice in your life peabrain." He laughed and said, "Oh and by the way your 'comeback' was about as classy as the brain sheltering your pathetic skull." He laughed not being able to contain yourself. "When this fool is dead I will choose a lioness. Anyone who refuses I will rip the heart from their chest at once and eat it!" He laughed and said, "I am much more cruel and dangerous than a hyena could ever be!" He looked at Sius again. "Well what are you waiting on peabrain? Attack me!" He noticed his pause and said, "Stop being a peabrain and attack me!"

Wafu went wide eyed at the last lines of the huge lion's speech, but his eyes were not wide with fear or surprise but more with anticipation and slight excitement.
"Oh this is getting good" he said wit ha wicked smirk as he crept through the grass to get a closer look but tried to stay as hidden as possible. Most times he would have much preferred sleeping but this seemed to be too goo to pass up, this one egoistic lion spitting out threats and insults left and right wasn't something he saw everyday and he wanted to capitalize on that.
"Come on make a move, I wanna see blood fly" he said with a smirk as he narrowed his eyes and looked at the lions from his hiding spot in the grass.

[Harvs]

Sius couldn't lie to his mind. He was scared. This lion talked tough, and he certainly looked capable enough to pull off everything he said he would do. As far as what Sius had said to Mufalfa, he wasn't kidding. Sius would be the first guy to take a bullet for the people he considered friends. And if that meant getting in the way of the lions whom he had barely met, and this monster of a carnivore, then so be it. Whether Sius lived or not, he had confidence that Mufasa would have mercy on his kind soul. There was a place in Heaven just waiting for him. And a spot in the deepest, darkest pits of Hell reserved for Mufalfa.

Sius came back to. He seemed to zone in and out during Mufalfa's menacing, yet boring rant. He yawned, half of boredom and half to irritate the already irritated lion. Sius started to laugh. He looks kinda funny when he talks. He thought in the back of his mind. Wait... this was no time to be making jokes... but... he looked so serious. And while Sius was partially afraid of what he was saying, he couldn't hold back a small chuckle. He reminds me of something Kasi would say when he was starving. Actually, Kasi didn't ever say any of this. But when he was hungry enough, Kasi sure did think thoughts like this. His mind zoned off again. He tuned Mufalfa out for a few seconds. Ugh... when will this monologue end? Just save him the trouble and strike me with lightning. Stampede. Drowning. Anything to stop this guy from talking.

Finally, Mufalfa's seemingly planned speech ended. Looking up, Sius almost screamed to the heavens, Thank you Mufasa! Though he was able to keep it in his head. Which was apparently small and inferior compared to this fiend. As Mufalfa egged Sius to attack him, Sius thought to himself Well now... how to respond to a speech I didn't listen to... Sius' stomach growled at him. Shut up, stomach! This is no time to be hungry! Sius looked back up at Mufalfa, still standing there, staring down Sius. Waiting for him to make the first move? "Why would I attack you? I have nothing to prove. If you're as tough as you say you are, then you should be able to take me down in no time." Sius was now awake. He knew that his mouth had gotten him into this situation, and now it was time for his body to get him out.

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa looked disbelievingly at him. "You want me to attack you?" He thought just how foolish this fool was. "Well I am going to bore you some more fool and then you will beg me to kill you." He then started ranting again saying, "Now fool you know that small brain I was speaking of? I lied. It is not small. It is about the size of a grain of sand. You see the logical thing would have been to attack me so that you would gain the upper hand. Seeing as how you are extremely 'inhibited,' and no fool I will not tell you what that word means for your tiny brain to digest, you did the stupid thing and let me strike first."

He continued on, "And now you fool I shall end your pathetic life." He then said to the rest of the males, "Oh and boys once I kill this worthless piece of skin I will give you to the count of 10 before I go and kill you as well." He then ran up to Sius and slashed him around the stomach along with pinning him to the ground and putting his feet on his muzzle. "So you see fool it was not wise for you to do that. The logical thing would have been as I said to make the first move!" He then pushed Sius into the crowd of males and came over ready to kill. "I shall enjoy eating your corpse!" He started to make the blow but stopped. "I just spared your pathetic life." He offered him a paw to get up. "Now do you see what you did wrong?" He laughed and said, "You got guts though. No one has ever challenged me." He looked towards the others and said, "No need for us to fight. You are free to do whatever you wish. However I don't want any friends."

Mufalfa then looked away.

[Nukascar101]

Wafu smiled and fidgeted a-little when he saw the larger lion attack the other. He watched in anticipation glad that the ranting and speeches were finally over and the fight had finally began. He leaned forward a little when he saw the muscular lion was about to land the killing blow but then his jaw dropped in surprise when the lion instead offered to help the other and said those last few word.
"Wha-but-they-killing-fight..." he stuttered in disbelief and disappointment. "Oh come on!" he shouted before realizing it and then quickly put a paw over his muzzle even though he knew it was too late and the others had most likely heard him.

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa looked angry at the young male and came over to see him. "Ah you wish to fight me eh? I shall kill you at once!" It was then he noticed that the young male seemed to have a respect towards him. "No never mind I shall talk to you first." He laughed and told the others, "Oh I was just kidding. I was not going to kill him." He told the male to come on where the others couldn't hear. "If you saw that fight I only let the fool live because I have something even more evil planned for them."

He laughed and said to the young male, "I like my plans more complex." He then said, "Would you like to join in. You can become just like me one of these days." He then said, "First we shall gain their trust."
