The unexpected friendship ch. 6 (Dutch06's fanfics)

Dutch may have not known if Simba had taken his advice or not, but he knew what he was to do. He was going to go back to the clan before too long, however, something was wrong when he woke up this morning. Simba was... gone. "Hey, has anyone seen...uh... Simba?" "Join the club." Timon replied "Everyone has been asking that question." Rafiki, the shaman of the Nadona pride appeared from the trees. "You won't find him here! The king has returned to his rightful place it seems." "Rightful place...?" "That must mean..." Nala added. "That Simba is going to challenge his Uncle Scar in the Pridelands!" "Welp, I think I know what I'm doing this morning." "What?" "How about a nice sort of... fighting force?" Nala thought about it for a minute, but still wasn't sure what he was talking about. "Look. I've got some friends in the Backlands, and we will need all the help we can get." "Alright then." Timon exclaimed. "Show us what ya got!" 
...
"Hey, Koro!" Dutch said approaching Korofi's clan. "Are you willing to help me and my friends woth something?" "Sure, what is it?" "A...uh...overthrow." "Really?" Korofi said, suprised. "You're not pulling my hind leg are you?" "Not at all." Korofi looked around for a minute puzzling until finally realizing that she may be able to do something big for once. "If it's for a friend, deal us in." "I promise that there will be compensation for your actions." Nala had said to Korofi as they now set out to the Pridelands for their crusade. 
... 
Scar wasn't awaiting anything important today, just another moment as king he thought. He was due to check in with Zira, his main partner through all of this monotony. "Zira. Why are the hunting parties coming up dry? This is not what was expected out of our little deal with the Hyenas." "Well, either some of our subjects have gotten out of line, or we are not looking hard enough for anything that is left." Zira snarled. "Go question the hunting parties and give me results!" "As you wish, your highness." At this moment Simba was able to sneak into the Pridelands, it was mostly the same as it was, but much more barren and without any life to it. Then he spied Pride Rock and approached with caution. "Hey Simba, wait up!" Nala called out to him. "You were right Nala, this is my home, and I should fight for it's future." "You're not alone, either." Dutch said to him as Simba looked put to see the majority of Korofi's clan ready and willing to fight with him. "You managed...?" "Yeah. It didn't take much either. Go on, we're with you." "Ok." Korofi chimed in. "We need a distraction, and I am willing to provide it." "Ok, we'll go on to Pride Rock. Good luck." 
"So, Simba..." Dutch questioned. "What exactly do you want to do to get Nala in there." "Well, it shouldn't be too hard for you to sneak in and treat her as a 'prisoner', right?" Dutch took a look at Nala. "You're okay with that, right?" "Yes." Nala remarked. "Alright then... let's go." 
Dutch was not surprised to see that most of the Hyenas didn't take notice to him obviously being an outsider, that is until he noticed someone in particular- "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Dutch looked as three important looking figures came to 'greet' the new arrival. "Ma'am. The Lioness attempted to run away from the hunting party recently and I was able to catch her when I was out near the watering holes." "Ok then. Put her with the others." Shenzi ordered. "Yes Ma'am sir... er... sir ma'am... uh..." "Just... do it." Dutch lifted his paw in a salute stance and disappeared into the crowd. "Hey..." Shenzi asked Banzai. "I don't remember seeing that hyena before. Is it just because there are so many faces or...?" "Eh, I don't think you're going crazy. He isn't like any others, definitely more physically fit than the lot of the others." Shenzi showed her teeth, and then lost interest in him. "Come on, we have to report to Scar for status." 
"Ok Nala." Dutch said. "I'll go scout out Simba's location if you will be o.k. down here." "I'll be fine Dutch. Thanks for letting me through." Dutch nodded and then proceeded to meet with Simba. 
... 
Dutch made it to the mountainface with Simba "Hey! Simba! Wait up!" "Hey, is Nala with the Lionesses?" "Oh yes. She's fine. Am I interfering if I tag along?" Simba thought for a minute, and then realized he wouldn't mind his help. "Sure, just don't be too surprised if family matters come up at all." "Noted." Sarabi, Simba's mother made it up to the top of Pride rock before being questioned by Scar. It was very obvious that he was displeased with her performance as leader of the hunting parties ands proceeded to slap her across the face. In that moment, he looked up as lightning flashed behind their figures. "Mufasa!? No, you're dead! This can't be..." Scar said in shock. Sarabi looked up at Simba, "Mufasa?" "No, it's your son, Simba." As this was proceeding, Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed took their seats high above their postion. "Huh. So, my judgement was right. That hyena was irregular..." Shenzi said to the others. "So, Simba. I see that in some way you take after your uncle, seeing as you actually have a little pet similar to my own subjects." "Leave him out of this. This is a matter of you and me, not him." Dutch took a step forward. "Yeah, and I'm not his pet either." "Whatever, you're still not escaping conviction for helping a criminal. Wouldn't you agree Simba?" "Simba, what is he...?" Dutch shut his mouth quickly since it wouldn't matter if he asked now. "Ah, I would assume that you never told anyone about your father's death, and who, well, actually did it, correct?" Nala shot a confused glance at Simba, "Simba, what is he talking about?" "Well. Can he at least tell me who is responsible for Mufasa's death?" Simba, looking somber, said loud and clear. "I did." Dutch looked quite confused at this statement, as was Sarabi and many of the other Lionesses of the pride. "I'm not one to judge... but something seems awfully fishy about your statement. Do you have any evidence of said killing at all? How could you make such a bold statement-" "I have said what I said, and he submitted to it. That is that, now shut your trap and be scrutinized as such." Scar sneered. "Now then, my loyal subjects will take care of you." Dutch and Simba both looked around as they saw they were surrounded by what seemed like hundreds of hyenas surrounding them. Through the pack, Zira moved through and came face to face with the rabble, with some of Korofi's clan members thrown into the middle. "I'm sorry Dutch..." Korofi apologized "I held them off the best I could." "Hey, it's ok Koro." Zira cleared her throat. "I'd see it fit that you two are done with your conversation. You don't want an apology to be your last words anyway." Suddenly, when all hope was seemingly lost, Timon and Pumbaa made a grand return from their diversion to clear a hole through this circle. It was obvious that things were to heat up, and so the first attacks rolled out. Not long after, the Lionesses joined in, and it became a true battle. There was one detail no one accounted for, which was the lightning which struck some dead trees under the top of Pride rock and created a blaze below. "WHEW!" Timon exclaimed. "I don't know about you, but it's getting hot in here!" "You said it pal!" Pumbaa added. There was a sort of controlled chaos to the battle, but then, Scar's three lackeys (Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed, obviously) Approached Dutch and Korofi and managed to knock the former unconsious, until Taka decided to take on Banzai and others the same with Ed. Dutch was also knocked father down than he'd like, as he was now closer to the fire than comfort would allow, but it seemed obvious how to get out of it. After climbing up he had helped Mjinga deliver the final blow to Ed and sent the three of them packing. It seemed obvious that this battle was not in their favor, as Scar's pride of followers were also unable to keep the Nadona Lionesses at bay. Then, Simba was seen at the top of a cliff, battling Scar while on his hind legs and ended up knocking him off the cliff into a blaze below. Ironically, as symbolic as it may seem, rain had started to fall on the Pride lands, and the battle was decided. Simba was the true king. Dutch checked in with the others to see if everyone was alright, and aside from some injuries, thankfully no one was lost. 
Now, it is time for a new start.
