==Publisher's summary==
"FINAL ISSUE! Scar has made his way into the good graces of the awful Hyena Queen. She sees Scar as a scavenger, who will help her followers find food and thrive beyond their means. But while the Queen is correct that Scar will scavenge, she is about to discover that he is capable of much, much more..."
==Synopsis==
In Scar's dream, the meerkats of the north sought an audience with him at Pride Rock, as he was the king. They complained that the hyenas were attacking them without consequences, and Zazu added that overhunting had caused the herds to move on and, in doing so, made the meerkats prey. Scar questioned what he could do about it, and Zazu asked what Mufasa would have done.
As Scar turned his ire on Zazu, Rafiki angrily pointed out that the Pride Landers were suffering. Scar retorted that he could not solve every "pathetic creature's" problem, but the meerkats argued that he had created the problem by letting the hyenas into the Pride Lands. They started to unfavorably compare Scar to Mufasa, and he lashed out in rage.
Before Scar could harm the meerkats, Rafiki blew dust into his eyes, changing his vision so that he was staring out over a desolate Pride Lands. Scar demanded to know why Rafiki had uttered his incantation, and Rafiki warned him that he must change his path, else the desolation of the Pride Lands would be his future.
At that moment, Shenzi awoke Scar and probed him about his plan. He explained that he was going to use Zazu and that they simply needed Banzai and Ed to play their parts.
Meanwhile, while patrolling the Pride Lands, Zazu received word from a bird associate that the okapi were restless. Though another bird offered to investigate, Zazu opted to check out the situation himself.
Upon finding the okapi, Zazu determined that they had settled and wondered if the lionesses were hunting nearby. Just then, Banzai and Ed burst out of hiding and attacked Zazu. Mad with hunger, Ed nearly ate Zazu, but Banzai stopped him at the last minute and reminded him that Scar wanted Zazu alive.
Having escaped from the hyenas, Zazu warned Mufasa of their presence in the Pride Lands. With Mufasa distracted, Scar and Shenzi herded wildebeests into the gorge. Though Zuhour complimented Scar on his success, he betrayed her by knocking her into the gorge.
Once Zuhour had fallen, Scar asked Shenzi if her hyenas would follow him, and she confirmed that most would, as Zuhour was out of the picture. Banzai and Ed approached, curious about what had transpired, and Scar expressed shock that Mufasa had not killed them.
From down below, Zuhour revealed that she had survived the fall and declared that she and her followers would go to war with Scar. At this, Scar revealed that the vultures were on his side. With Kabeer in the lead, the vultures attacked Zuhour and her followers, and Scar ordered Shenzi's hyenas to do the same.
As the fight between the hyenas and vultures raged, Kabeer asked Scar if the vultures had done well, and he remarked that they had been competent. To their delight, he continued that they could eat with impunity under his reign. Shenzi asked Scar what they would do next, and he replied that Simba's days were numbered and that he would one day seize the throne of Pride Rock.
