An Unlikely Ally (Dutch06's fanfics)

"Hey, Muovu?" "Yeah Rusty?" "How long has it been since we saw Asante?" 
Two figures stepped out from the shadows, one was a reddish-brown wolf and the other was a vulture. They had been busy helping Asante's family for a while that they had forgotten to go back. "I don't know... it has been a few days hasn't it?" Rusty remarked. The vulture looked out into Hyena Valley and turned to the wolf. "Well, better late then never. Let's see what's new around there, shall we?" They both walked down the path in a relaxed fashion.
...
"So, you're a newcomer, right?" Arufu looked towards Dutch while he was stretching. "Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you, Arufu." "Yeah. You seem to know your way around though." "I've been a nomad for a while it seems... I have no idea why, but maybe it's because I don't remember where I'm from." Arufu stopped stretching. "That's weird. How do you just... stop remembering? Did someone drop you the wrong way when you were born?" he chuckled. "Heh. That might be it." They both looked out to the valley ahead and then Arufu looked at the ground in shame. "Well, if you want to know about me, I'm obviously, well, fat and let's just say many people don't really like that about me since I'm not very fast and I was the butt of the joke for many folks previously." "Ah, don't listen to them. I'm not one who cares about weight or looks. I mean, look at me! I'm scrawny and skinny compared to most other hyenas around here. You don't think anyone has thought I'm a lost cause?" he chuckled. "I guess you're right, and hey, Asante has been picked on for that weird looking eyelid she has. We've all had someone against us at some point I suppose." he laughed. Sumu slithered down a rock face as he approached the two hyenas. "Hey guyssss... Russssty and Muovu are back! You might want to let Asante know." "Got it, thanks for the heads up Sumu." Sumu nodded at Arufu. "Anytime." Dutch and Arufu peered into the cave, "Hey, Asante! Rusty and Muovu are back!" Asante walked towards them with intent. "It's about time. That's great! What about Kopa, do you have anything on him?" Dutch and Arufu both shook their heads. "Maybe later this afternoon I'll go into the Pridelands and ask Simba or Nala about it since... you know..." Dutch paused. "Sounds like a good plan. Let's think about that idea." The wolf and the vulture were now outside. "Hey... Asante." " Hey Rusty, how you been?" Muovu looked up in a scolding sort of way. "Hey! Don't forget about me!" he joked. "In all seriousness, how have you two been? You must've had a lot to do with my father and all his... uh..." Rusty spoke up, "We're fine. I had some catching up to do with some folks over there and honestly, it went a lot better than I had hoped." He looked over to Dutch. "Hey, do we have a new member?" "Yes we do!" Asante had said. "Dutch, meet Rusty..." Rusty nodded with a warm smile. "Nice to meet you, Dutch. Welcome!" Asante looked over at Muovu. "...and Muovu, meet Dutch." "What's up, mangey? Ah, don't give me that look! I'm only joking." He stuck out his wing and they engaged into a handshake. "It's nice to meet you two. Is there anyone else I should know about?" "Unless you mean Asante's family, the answer is no." Rusty chuckled. "The sky is looking kind of dark, let's get inside before something bad happens." Arufu mentioned as they all entered the cave, with Sumu being the last one in.
...
"Simba... I'd regret to inform you at this hour... but some of my messengers have informed of something bad happening in Hapuna Valley." Zazu woke up Simba with an expression of worry, as now it was obvious this was urgent. Nala woke up some of the other members of the pride. "We're going to need to hurry if we're ever going to get there. Come on!" Kopa, who was still there at the time, also came along.
...
Some of those black leopards were terrible at keeping themselves hidden. Even in Hyena Valley, Muovu was able to pick up on some noise which woke him up. "Hey, guys..." he whispered. "We may have a problem." The others listened in, and it was clear what the issue was. "Asante, do you have any thoughts?" her sister said to her. "I say we go see what they are up to. It can't be good." Dutch wondered where the group was headed, they were obviously going somewhere North of where they were which means... "Oh crap..." "What is it Dutch?" "They're heading North. That means they're going to try and get into the Pridelands." Muovu looked outside, and then gestured towards the cave entrance "Well then, let's go!" 
...
Those scheming black leopards had a specific intent. They were going to invade Hapuna Valley so they could eat all the food they could ever want. "How much longer boss?" "Shh! We're here. Move out quietly so no one hears us..." At this moment, they heard a whoop sort of sound. The same kind a hyena would make. If that wasn't enough, then hearing a roar off in the distance from the opposite direction was enough to scare most of them. "They're not as tough as we thought. I won't jinx it though..." they heard a voice say in the distance. "I know that voice. It's that band of hyenas we sent packing recently." one of the other leopards nudged him. "Well, go on! Intimidate them, or... something..." He cleared his throat. "You cowards! You think you can scare us!? We have a whole army... and all you have to show for, Asante, is that little band of misfits! What could you possibly do against us?" Without using any venom, Sumu slithered under him, and bit his tail. "OW! Stupid snake!" Just then, they started to fight, with Asante taking charge against Vira, while the others helped her out. Dutch and Arufu were currently having maybe a little too much fun with this. "Hey Arufu... heads up!" Arufu smacked some sense into one of the attackers, as it seemed obvious they were losing steam. "Hey, guys! Do you hear that?" Karibu had said as they all started to notice what was going on around them. One of the leopards, Pigana also started to take notice as she got up from under Dutch's paws. "It sounds like... some elephants..." Vita gathered his allies as they all knew something big was to happen. Ma Tembo suddenly appeared from the forest, alongside some other elephants and animals alike. "Ohh... so YOU are the ones making all this noise so late at night? Well guess what... I dislike what you are doing. So... GET OUT OF OUR VALLEY!" Dutch and Arufu looked horrified at the towering elephant in front of them. "Hey... wait a minute... I... we can explain..." Dutch had tried to reassure her as Ma Tembo took a look at them. "Hmpf. I don't think you need to explain anything for me!" she said as she whacked them with her trunk and sent them both flying into a tree. Vita looked around, and had decided to retreat. "Let's get out of here!" Just then, the Lion Guard had decided to show up to break up the conflict. "What are you doing here?" "Ooh... that might be our cue to go! Come on guys!" as they had run away. Haramia made sure that Dutch and Arufu were able to get out, but as they had started to go, the Lion Guard gave chase. "Arufu, why don't you go on ahead? We'll take care of this." Arufu looked for a moment. "Are you sure you'll be fine?" "Positive, now go!" Arufu scurried off as they decided to stay. "Hey, what's the big idea you two? Causing ruckus on a peaceful night in Hapuna Valley... you should be ashamed." "Well, we weren't the ones looking for food, and yet you followed us here... ironic." Haramia countered. "Well my name is Kinga, and you'll be seeing a lot more of me if you keep this up. I am the leader of this guard, and I'm not afraid to show it!" "Yeah... don't let it get to your head. It could make you seem dumber than you look." "What did you just say to me?" Haramia chuckled as Dutch persisted. "Well, I think the junior Lion Guard is doing a better job if they weren't going to follow their enemy into a hostile territory..." he laughed "You don't seem to know when to quit do you? Maybe some day it'll bite you where it hurts." He looked at Haramia. "Agreed. Even us Outlanders know some etiquette around here. Let's go Dutch." 
...
The Lion Guard was furious that a hyena could insult them so easily. They had mentioned it to Simba and no one else. It was embarrassing, and they knew it. Simba found it funny, but he knew he couldn't show it. "I see your concern, but ultimately, those Outlanders are beyond our borders. We should not deal with them unless they pose a frequent or apparent threat to our kingdom, in the way of a threat such as Zira and the other banished lions."
== Trivia: ==
-Rusty and Muovu were repurposed from the concepts of "Party in the Midwest USA", a series that never went anywhere about a coyote and a new world vulture traveling the United States in order to do silly things. These characters are more controlled than those two, but they share attributes in their personality and general looks.
