[Closed] Out of the Pridelands

[UncoordinatedPisces]

"Hold on Simba!" Mufasa shouted. He heard Simba shout for help. You dived into the stampede and began to dodge the wildebeest to get to his stranded son.

[KingKovu44]

Simba waited for his father to get to him. However, just before he did, a wildebeest hit the tree and sent the cub flying. "AHHH!" Simba screamed.

[UncoordinatedPisces]

Mufasa quickly looked up and saw his son flying in the air. He jumped up and caught him in his mouth, dodging all the wildebeest at the same time. He finally saw a ledge, he jumped up and placed Simba on top of it. All of a sudden a wildebeest took him and he was swept away. Mufasa had to do something if he was going to make it out alive.

[KingKovu44]

"DAD!" Simba shouted. Simba watched from his place on the ledge, waiting for his father to escape the crush of the herd.

Mufasa managed to jump up onto a steep part of the rocky sides of the gorge. He looked up and saw Scar, he started to climb up, knowing that he would be safe.

[KingKovu44]

Scar saw his brother struggling to get up the side of the cliff. He watched until Mufasa was close to him. It was now time for him to put his plan into motion.

[UncoordinatedPisces]

Mufasa nearly there, but he needed his brother's help. "Scar, brother, help me" Mufasa shouted as he began to slip.

[KingKovu44]

Scar waited for one second, and then lashed out and sank his claws into his brother's flesh. He grinned wickedly at Mufasa. "Long live the king!" he said. He then threw Mufasa backwards into the stampede.

[UncoordinatedPisces]

Mufasa eyes widened at the sounds of Scar's words. And so, Mufasa fell and fell, until it was all over.

[KingKovu44]

"NO!!!" Simba shouted as he watched Mufasa fall and disappear from view. Finally, the stampede ended. Simba made his way down the cliff into the gorge and began to look for his father. "Dad?" he shouted. There was no response. Simba called out again, with the same result. Suddenly, a stray wildebeest ran past the dead tree he had been on. Suddenly, he saw a lion's corpse on the ground. It was his father. He went over to it. "Dad? Dad, you gotta get up. Dad, we gotta go home," Simba said. When Mufasa didn't respond, the cub began to realize what had happened. He called for help, and then began to cry. He got under Mufasa's paw. In so much distress was he that he didn't notice Scar and Zira behind him. Scar then spoke. "Simba, what have you done?" he asked. Simba looked at his uncle. “There were wildebeests and he tried to save me... it was an accident, I... I didn't mean for it to happen,” the cub said through his tears. Scar pulled him close. “Of course, of course you didn't. No one...ever means for these things to happen...But the king is dead. And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive,” he replied. Just then, Scar thought of something. "Oh! What will your mother think?" the murderer asked. “What am I going to do?” Simba asked. “Run away, Simba. Run... Run away and never return,” Scar replied. And so, Simba ran off. However, Scar’s statements just didn’t feel right. How could he have caused his father’s death? It was in that moment, as he was climbing out of the gorge, that he decided that he would run back to Pride Rock and tell his mother everything. Back in the gorge, the hyenas had arrived and had seen him run off. “Do you want us to go and kill him?” Shenzi asked. “No. Forget him. Let him die of exposure,” Scar replied. He then turned to Zira. "And now, Zira, your future. As my first act as king, I declare you my queen," he stated.
