The unexpected friendship ch. 4 (Dutch06)

Dutch was very content that maybe he would be able to make a new start here in the backlands. The outlands were certainly not as inviting as this, and he never had friends there anyway. In fact, he never even knew why he was there anyway, it could be- "Hey, Dutch... DUTCH!" Korofi shouted. "What...? Did I drift off again? I'm sorry, just preoccupied with some thoughts." "It's alright, but I just need you to keep focus for just one second, alright?" Korofi had an exact plan currently, it seemed as if the Hyenas in this area were fighting something. He could not put his finger on it though, but it didn't sound like the usual Lion-Hyena sort of conflict he usually expects. "So, what are we looking for here?" Dutch had asked. "Well, we are currently looking for a way to secure an alliance with the Lions to settle our conflict with the Lepords." Huh. That's interesting, Dutch thought. I didn't think that they could be in a conflict with them. "Now, if you are listening, we are heading into the jungle oasis to try and ambush the lepords and possibly catch them off guard." "Alright then. Now, who is your squad?" "Oh, yeah. About them..." She gestured over to the rightmost member. "His name is taka, it was given to him for the scar on his left eye." "What's going on? Nice to meet you." "Likewise." Now she was directed to the leftmost member. "His name is Mjinga, believe it or not, he is quite keen." Hey! I've saved your butt a few times over!" Mjinga remarked. "I only kid, y'know. The last member here is Jangwa. He is mostly going to lead our attacks, especially since he can think very quickly." "Hello there, his name is Dutch, right?" Korofi nodded. "Ok, I'd most certainly like to see what you can do for our group, not that I have any doubt that you wouldn't, of course." "Yeah, I'll see what I can do. I'm happy to assist in whatever you all need." As they were all approaching a large lake, Dutch noticed some yelling in the distance. "Hey, you alright?" Mjinga asked. "I hear something. Something..." A large figure had leaped out of the foliage and had led Dutch to start tumbling through the bush. Eventually he rolled down, and came face first with a lion. "WOAH!" "Who are you? Why did you get sent here by Scar?" "Who... who's Scar?" He quickly looked behind the large lion to see a Warthog running in the distance, followed by a very familiar looking Lioness. "Wait, is that-" The lioness and lion exchanged blows, while a tiny little Meerkat was talking as if he was some sort of commentator. Dutch approached this Meerkat and Warthog, and both had gasped. "AHH! It's a hyena! Please don't eat us!" The Meerkat said, kneeling on the floor like Dutch was a ruler of some sort. "Woah woah woah! I'm not going to eat you, I'm just going to ask what's-" He stopped to realize that the others weren't fighting anymore. "Dutch?" "Wait a minute... it is you! I didn't think you'd make it!" Simba took a look at both of them, and had this very confused look. "Wait a minute, you two know each other?" "Simba, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but this hyena helped me." Nala said, reassuringly. "He... helped you? Well, maybe he isn't so bad after all." Timon had said. "Well, I guess I have to thank you for that. I'm still a bit confused, but I don't mind." "I aim to please, I guess. That's my way of doing it. Now, I just need a few more names, and we can talk things over-" "Dutch?" Korofi had shouted from down the hill. "Hey! I'm doing fine Korofi, I just need to talk with some people for a minute!" "Alright, but just come back to the den when you need to. We'll come back if we run into trouble." "Who are those Hyenas?" Simba asked. "Oh them, I met them after me and Nala separated from each other. I knew someone there and I hadn't seen them in a while." "Hmm. Interesting." "So, what's your name?" Dutch asked. "My name is Simba, and my friends here are Timon, and Pumbaa." "Nice to meet you." Said Pumbaa. "Alright, I'm still not sure if we can trust this guy." "It'll be ok Timon, we at least know he won't hurt any of us and he should be able to be friendly." "As I said before." Dutch mentioned. "I aim to please, if you need anything, let me know." " See Timon, a bad hyena wouldn't have the same response to a remark." "Ugh." Timon sighed. "Fine, he stays. But just promise me he won't go crazy around us." "I'm willing to make that deal." Dutch commented. The three had agreed to peace amongst each other, particularly to make sure nothing bad would happen between them. Dutch knew that they were eventually going to turn around but he didn't know when. It would definitely happen soon.
