"Be Prepared"/Stampede!/Mufasa's death

This is how "Be Prepared", Stampede! and Mufasa's death goes in Mac Grimborn's Adventures of The Lion King.

[Then, we cut with the hyenas and the villains]

Darth Maul: Mac has defended Simba after our setback, just as we planned.

Frax: But we would've crushed them if Mufasa never showed up!

Darth Maul: Patience. We must move cautiously. By allowing our enemies to stay in the Pride Lands, Mufasa never discovered his weaknesses.

Vexacus: What in the world are you talking about, Lord Maul?

Darth Maul: Scar has earned the heroes' trust. We can use their relationship to help Scar overthrow Mufasa.

Divatox: Lord Maul, that's not a bad idea. Who would've thought?

[Ed laughs at Banzai]

Banzai: It's not funny, Ed!

Darth Maul: My friends, Scar has earned Mac's trust, just as we anticipated.

Banzai: Why do you even care about him?

Darth Maul: Since Mac already seems to trust Scar, we can use that to our advantage.

[Scar arrives]

Scar: Use what to your advantage?

Vrak: If Mac doesn't realize you're working with us, it's the perfect opportunity to eliminate him.

[He seems interested]

Prince Vekar: You know, I never thought hyenas to be essential.

Roxy (avatar): After all, you do want to kill Mufasa, right?

Scar: Precisely.

[Music starts playing]

Vrak: We know that your powers of retention~

Are as wet as a warthog's backside~

Scar: But thick as you are~

Pay attention!

Evox: Our words are a matter of pride~

It's clear from your vacant expressions~

Scar: The lights are not really on upstairs~

But we are talking kings and successions~

[Evox joins Scar in singing]

Scar and Evox: Even you can't be caught unawares~

So, prepare for a chance of a lifetime~

Be prepared for sensational news~

A shining, new era is tiptoeing nearer~

Prince Gasket: And where do we feature?

Scar: Just listen to teacher. [sings] I know it sounds soredid~

Darth Maul: But we'll be rewarded~

Scar: When at last, I have given my dues~

And injustice deliciously squared~

Scar and Darth Maul: Be prepared~

Banzai: Yeah! Be prepared! We'll be prepared. For what?

Scar: For the death of the king.

Banzai: Why? Is he sick?

Blaze (avatar): No, fool.

Scar: We're going to kill him. And Simba, too.

Shenzi: Great idea. Who needs a king?

Banzai and Shenzi: No king, no king, la la la la la la~

Scar: Idiots! There will *be* a king!

Banzai: Hey. But you said uh...

King Mondo: Scar will be king!

Scar: Stick with us, and you'll never go hungry again!

Shenzi and Banzai: Yeah! All right! Long live the king!

Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!

King, king, king, king, king, king~

It's great that we'll soon be connected~

With a king who will be all-time adored~

Scar: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected~

To take certain duties on board~

The future is littered with prizes~

And though I'm the main addressee~

The point that I must emphasize is...

[Scar grins]

Scar: [yells] You won't get a sniff without me!

[Everyone sings]

Everyone: So prepare for the coup of the century!~

Scar: Be prepared for the merchious scam~

Hyenas: Ooooh, la-la-la~

Scar: Meticulous planing~

Hyenas: We'll have food!~

Scar: Tenacity spanning~

Hyenas: Lots of food!~

Scar: Decades of denile~

Hyenas: We repeat!~

Scar: Is simply why I'll.. ~ (Hyenas: Endless meat!~)

Be king, undisputed~

Respected, saluted~

And seen for the wonder I am~

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared~

Scar and Hyenas: Be prepared~

[The hyenas laugh]

Shenzi, Banzai and Ed: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared~

Everyone: Be prepared!~

[We then see Simba, Mac and Scar]

Scar: Now you wait here. Mufasa and your friends have a surprise for you.

Mac Grimborn: What is it?

Scar: If I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise, wouldn't it?

Mac Grimborn: I think you should tell me.

Scar: Oh, you're insane!

Mac Grimborn: Come on, Scar.

Scar: No no no no no no. This is just for Simba and his daddy. You know, a sort of father-son... thing. Well, I better go get him. [about to leave]

**Simba:** We'll go with you.

**Scar:** [Loud, snapping tone] No! [regaining composure] Heh heh heh. No. Just stay on this rock. You wouldn't want to end up in another mess like you did with the hyenas...

Mac Grimborn: Wait. Scar, you already knew about that event?

Scar: Mac, everybody knows about that.

**Simba**: {Meek and embarrassed} Really?

**Scar**: Oh, yes. Lucky Daddy was there to save you, eh? {clearly enjoying himself; he puts a paw on Simba's shoulder} Oh... and just between us, you might want to work on that little roar of yours. Hmm, and watch over Mac.

**Simba**: Oh... Okay...

(Scar pats Simba roughly on the head, then moves off when Mac asks him a question]

Mac Grimborn: Oh. Uh, Scar, will we like it?

Scar: Mac, it's to **DIE** for. [leaves]

[Mac and Simba sigh as we view Shenzi, Banzai, Ed and the villains]

Scrozzle: Hurry up, hyenas!

Shenzi: Uh, okay, Scrozzle!

Banzai: [Stomach growls]

Shenzi: Shut up.

Banzai: I can't help it. I'm so hungry... [jumping up] I gotta have a wildebeest!

Shenzi: Stay put.

Banzai: Well... Can't I just pick off one of the little sick ones?

Shenzi: No! We wait for the signal from Scar.

[Poisandra sees Scar]

Poisandra: Scar showed up.

Shenzi: There he is... Let's go.

[They go after them. We cut back to Mac and Simba]

Simba: Little roar. Puh.

Mac Grimborn: You know, I think it's great that Mufasa and Scar, plus my team are planning something for us, Simba.

[Twilight sees wildebeests]

Twilight Sparkle: Wildebeests?

Mufasa: Odd.

[Scar appears, out of breath]

Scar: Mufasa, quick. Stampede in the gorge. Mac's there now.

Twilight Sparkle: Wait, what?!

Rarity: Mac?

Scar: Yes, and Simba's with him!

Mufasa: Simba?

[Mac and Simba are running from the wildebeests]

Mac Grimborn: What are the chances that wildebeests are easily spooked?!

[But, Simba gets stuck in a tree as Mac turns back]

[Scar arrives and sees Mufasa]

Mufasa: Scar! Broth-- Brother! Help me!

[Scar thinks for a moment, then claws Mufasa]

[Scar looks at his brother evilly]

Scar: Long live the king.

[Mufasa is shocked as Scar throws his brother backwards. Mufasa free-falls, back first. The camera follows Mufasa down from under him, then from above him, showing the stampede raging below.]

**Mufasa**: {Screaming}

[Mac and Simba watch the whole thing. No sound effects of the hit. No view of it either. Mufasa and Simba's screams mingle.]

Simba: No!

Mac Grimborn: Mufasa!
