The Legend of Kion

Band God arc Chapter one: The Band Gods Part one

A young lion was seen through a book like portrait as a narrator spoke about what it was about. "Long ago, in an Africa without the accessories it had today, there lived a young lion cub named Mufasa. An optomistic, yet cocky lion cub who loved adventure." A page turned to Mufasa exploring the Elephant Graveyard with a female companion, with Mufasa being excited and the friend being skeptical. "He was also very curious, which was understandable at five years old. His best friend was a shy and friendly cub named Sarabi." A page turned to Mufasa running from a stampede. This time the page was moving, showing the fear in Mufasa's eyes. "However, in a tragic event, Mufasa faced a stampete of wildebeest. A day which he could never forget, no matter how hard he tried."

A page turned to a black furred adult lion, walking towards a crying Mufasa as the narrator continued. "The stampede ended up killing his father, to which his uncle Scar was behind, but at the time he didn't know it." A page turned to Mufasa crying while hugging his mother. "Scar made Mufasa think that HE killed his father. When he told this to the pride, his mother forgave him, and so did Sarabi. Some however, were skeptical, but did not avoid Mufasa." A page turned to a furious adult Mufasa confronting Scar. "Five years later, before they gained human like accessories and everything else, an adult Mufasa discovered what Scar had done."

A page turned to Mufasa being furious with Scar and the two battled while the page motioned. Clawing at each other, slashing and biting one another, it was an epic battle indeed. The narrator continued sometime during the fight. "Scar had revealed his true intentions, as he heard of a legend that would bring a much more sophisticated world of Africa to life. One with accessories that they did not have access to yet." A page turned to a dead Scar, and a conflicted Mufasa. "Mufasa did not forgive his uncle, but when he killed him, he did not loathe his intentions." Mufasa then walked away from the twig and leaf device that Scar had made, allowing the lightning to strike. "No one knew how it worked, and many questioned it. Some say the legend was inconsistent in some ways, and others didn't mind it."

A page turned to a world with human like accessories, as well as a now married Mufasa and Sarabi. The adult lion and adult lioness were seen looking over the world they had created, glad that something good game from Scar. The accessories were also shown as the narrator named them off. "The married couple of Mufasa and Sarabi seem to have liked the change, as it brought more variety within the world they lived in. Buildings, animals aging in human time, and even the ability to walk on two legs. Lions, hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs, as well as some other animals that lived in Africa at the time could do this. But only a select few, and they prefered to stay in their four leg forms, as they felt to only use the other one when necessary."

A page then turned to seven elemental instruments, to which the narrator named off as they glowed in a beautiful fashion, showing their element. "The fire guitar. The water bass. The wind keytar. The lightning voice. The nature saxophone. The light tambourine. And the dark drums." The instruments then swirled around for a bit. "These seven instruments are made with seven warriors linked to them. Making a band that uses the energy known as Ki in order to use it's power." A dark figure was then shown in the middle of the instruments. "One dark figure however, was after these instruments so he could destroy them. This creature loathed life. Being made from the darkness of a young lion cub, to which a part of his body rejected, this warrior strived to end all life. Even the band gods."

A young lion with a small red mohawk and nose, as well as a brownish gold fur was shown. He looked like the dark figure, only much less evil and not with a black aura surrounding him. He also didn't have dark fur, eyes, and features like the creature. "This lion cub who's body rejected the darkness made to create the vile creature...was Kion. An optomsitic and fun loving lion cub, who loved food, fighting, adventure, and was also a bit on the cocky side. He however, was more than ready for a challenge that came is way. And he...is our guide.

Kion was seen in the air in two leg mode as he dived down and attempted to punch another lion in the arena, as the other lion grabbed his fist and threw him to the ring out area. Kion refused to back down and aimed a ki blast at the wall, having it stick to the wall, catching the other lion off guard. Kion jumped off of the ki orb and back onto the arena, giving a sneer to the other lion. Being determined to win, Kion charged at the other lion, who blocked his punch and tried to knee him. Kion grabbed the other lion's mohawk and threw him behind him, charging up a ki blast as he did so.

The other lion wiped the sweat from his face, finding Kion to be a worthy opponent, charging a ki blast as well. The ki blasts collided and made an explosion in a small part of the arena, making the other lion confused as to where Kion was. Kion appeared behind the other lion and shoved his paw into the lion's nose, giving him a nasty smell that the other lion surprisingly was rather pleased by, despite it's rotten smell. Kion kicked the lion's head, sending him into the ring out area.

The bell rang and the referee ran up to the arena and raised Kion's arm, declaring him the winner with a satisfied voice. "Kujo has been knocked out by a rather unusual attack! And we normally don't approve of dirty play, but what Kion did didn't injure his opponent, or give him an illness. Therefore, Kion will be moving onto the finals! Even if his paw smells like pizza bagels." The crowd laughs and Kion gives a peace sign with an optomistic smile, showing his satisfaction from the match. Kion hopped off the stage and put his paw over to Kujo, helping the lion up and shaking his paw.

An older lion cub with a similar fur coat to Kion, but no mohawk in place, was seen walking down the hallway in four leg mode while talking to a female lioness cub, who had a much more light fur coat to her.

"I gotta say Nala;" The male cub said, speaking in a calm yet joyful tone. "This tournament is really something to Kion. He's so passionate about fighting in general that he begged me to be his mentor." The cub then laughed a bit. "Good thing our parents are always busy, as they're super protective over Kion considering...him."

The lion cub then became worried and Nala smiled to him, wanting to bring his hopes up. "It'll be fine Simba. He's five years old and it's nowhere near as bad as it should've been by now." Nala then looked to see something that brought joy to her eye. "Looks like that goofballs still in high hopes."

Simba looked to see Kion running over to him and Nala in an overjoyed way, giving his brother a hug and knocking him down. "I won Simba! I'm in the finals now! Did you see me on the intercom Simba!? I'm almost there!"

Simba chuckled a bit as he pulled his brother away. "I know Kion. I'm totally proud of you." Simba gave Kion a noogie, to which he giggled at.

Kujo then walked over to Kion, who noticed him and opened his pack, pulling out a jar of something. "That the jar?"

"Yep. You know the rule dude;" Kion said.

Kujo then rolled his eyes while smiling, doing as Kion requested. "Thee known as Kion, is awesome, and is a totally amazing fighter." Kion told Kujo to keep going. "And I have an unusual, yet fine thought on what's in that jar." Kion smiled and handed Kujo the jar and Kujo opened it, getting a good sniff of what was in it. Kujo gagged a bit, only to smile afterwords, handing Kion his jar and high fiving him. Kujo then walked off and Nala giggled at his silly love for what was in Kion's jar. Just then, the door flew over to Kion, Simba, and Nala, who looked over to see something much to Kion's liking.

A young lion cub about Kion's age was seen to have punched the door down. He then spoke in a cocky tone when pointing to himself with his thumb. "I'm the best fighter here and (Points to Kion, Simba, and Nala.) you gotta deal with it!"

Kion put on a competitive smile, letting Simba and Nala know to run away, as they didn't want to get too involved in the friendly rivalry. Kion and Mheetu charged at each other and collided a punch and plenty others until Kion low sweeped Mheetu. Kion punched Mheetu back and Mheetu jumped off the wall, launching a ki blast at Kion, who deflected it, allowing it to hit the wall. Mheetu then punched Kion in the face and Kion back flipped away, launching a ki blast at Mheetu, who blocked it with ease. Kion then wiped the sweat form his forehead, feeling the heat of the battle, and then dash kicked Mheetu into a wall as the referee arrived.

"Hey you two, no fighting in the arena!" The referee said in a stern tone, having Mheetu walk up to Kion and stand next to him. "Now I've told you two at least seven times. No fighting outside the arena." Mheetu rolled his eyes and Kion shrugged, allowing the referee to continue. "To be fair though, the destruction here isn't all that bad, so I don't have to disqualify you. Just try to control your excitement."

Kion then gave the referee a playful salute. "Yes sir referee John."

"Yeah, sure, no problem;" Mheetu said with a cocky smile. "I'm way to awesome to be disqualified anyway.

The referee chuckled at Mheetu's comment, walking off and bidding the two goodbye. Simba and Nala walked up to Kion and Mheetu, with Kion looking at Simba with a laugh. "Sorry Simba. Guess we got carried away again."

"Hey now, I'm not paying for this;" Simba joked to his brother.

"I don't get it Nala;" Mheetu said in a confused way. "Why not fight everywhere if it's a tournament?"

Nala rolled her eyes while smiling towards her brother's stupidity. "Because that's not how it works Nala." Nala then punches her palm with her fist. "Now then. Who wants some ice cream?"

Kion and Mheetu both raised their paws in an excited manner. "We do!"

Kion and the others were seen snack bar, enjoying their ice cream to a great degree.

"You gotta tell me how you're so generous Nala;" Kion said in a grateful tone. "Usually it's Simba who pays for my ice cream."

"Well, you know Kion. It's better to give than to recieve;" Nala replied.

"Pssh. Yeah. Cause that's not cliche in the slightest;" Simba said in a playfully sarcastic tone, and Nala gave him a friendly punch in the arm.

Kion then saw a cloaked figure walk by, recognizing him or her from earlier. Mheetu notices Kion focusing on the cloaked figure, oblivious to the mysteriousness presented. "What's up Kion?"

Kion gave Mheetu his ice cream, signaling him to hold it. "I'll be right back."

Kion walked off and Mheetu looked at Kion's ice cream, giving it a lick for himself. Nala gave Mheetu a smirk, to which he ignored. Kion walked up to the cloaked figure, speaking to catch his or her attention. "Hey dude. Wait up." The cloaked figure turned around, to Kion's delight. "I saw you in the quarter finals. I just wanted to say that your skills are awesome, and good luck against my friend Mheetu. He's a tough one."

The cloaked figure giggled, revealing herself to be a girl. The cloaked figure took a liking to Kion's optomistic nature. "Thanks dude. I'll be out there." The cloaked figure then snarked a bit with Kion in her next comment. "Just don't stink me out when we battle."The cloaked figure walked off and Kion chuckled a bit at her reference to her battle with Kujo. Kion walked back over to the others and Mheetu handed him his ice cream, with Kion brushing off but not pointing out Mheetu's free taking. "Yeah, I should've seen this coming." Kion went back to enjoying his ice cream, while Mheetu started to think about his match against the cloaked figure.

Mheetu was seen walking out onto the arena with Kion cheering for him from the stands.

"Do it Mheetu!" Kion shouted with excitement. "Kick her sorry butt!"

Simba and Nala laughed a bit at Kion's optomism and excitement, pulling Kion back to his seat.

"Save it for the end Kion;" Simba said, and then the three went to watch the seats.

"Welcome to the second semi-final battle!" The referee announced, with Mheetu and the cloaked figure on both sides in two leg mode, and Mheetu was seen waving to the crowd. "On the left side, we have Mheetu. A cocky yet good hearted kid, who's more than ready for any kind of challenge." The cloaked figure was seen next. "And on the right side, we have this mysterious cloaked figure." The cloaked figure gave out a peace sign, clearly excited for the match. "Who has asked to have her name hidden for now." The referee then raised his paw, allowing the match to start. "Let the battle begin!"

Mheetu and the cloaked figure charged at each other and collided a punch, leaving Mheetu excited from his opponent's strength. Mheetu low sweeped the cloaked figure, only for her to spin as she placed her paw on the ground, kicking Mheetu right in the face. Mheetu stumbled a bit and almost fell back, just as the cloaked figure got up. The cloaked figure aimed to punch Mheetu, who blocked it, just before Jasiri punched him with her other paw. Mheetu stumbled back a bit and then front flipped over the cloaked figure, launching a ki blast right on her. The cloaked figure deflected the ki blast, much to Mheetu's surprise as he landed.

Mheetu launched another ki blast at the cloaked figure before she turned around, forcing her to block instead of dodge. The cloaked figure then looked around for a bit, and Mheetu then appeared behind her in an attempt to punch her, only for her to block it and kick him in the stomach. The cloaked figure punched Mheetu in three places. The chest, the head, and the stomach. With the last punch being so strong that Mheetu barely had enough air to stand on the arena ledge, leading to a cocky sneer from him. "You're pretty good for someone who doesn't show her face." Mheetu then points to his opponent. "But that doesn't mean I'll lose!"

Mheetu lunged at the cloaked figure, who dodged his punch, as well as his back flip kick. The cloaked figure aimed a ki blast at Mheetu once he closed his eyes, being surprised to see him duck under it and grab it. The cloaked figure giggled a bit, confusing Mheetu, until the ki blast exploded and stunned him. The cloaked figure appeared at Mheetu's side, grabbing his arm and throwing him at the wall at high speeds. Mheetu crashed on the wall and fell to the floor, declaring the cloaked figure the winner.

As the smoke cleared up, the referee saw that the cloaked figure won, running up to announce her the winner. "Mheetu has fallen out of the arena! Therefore, the cloaked fighter is the winner!"

The crowd cheered for the match as Kion hopped off of the wall, running over to Mheetu to see if he was okay. "You alright buddy?"

Mheetu got up and shook his head a bit, nodding his head yes right after. "Yeah, I'm fine. That was some battle there."

"No kidding dude;" Kion said, pumped up by the cloaked figure's strength. "And anyone who can beat me or you is no pushover."

Kion and Mheetu then saw the cloaked figure walking over to them, with Mheetu getting up and giving an excited smile. "That last attack. I didn't even see it."

The cloaked figure snarked a bit with Mheetu, wanting to mess around a bit. "It's totally smarter than being so cocky that you close your eyes in a battle." Mheetu became stunned by the cloaked figure's remark, with him and Kion both looking at her as she walked off. Kion then gained a determined face, ready for whatever the cloaked figure had in store for him.

Kion and the others were seen at pride rock as they arrived at Kion and Simba's house. Yeah, they got houses too. Don't worry. You'll get used to this stuff.

"Bye Mheetu. Bye Nala;" Kion said, bidding his friends goodbye.

"See you tomorrow;" Simba said as he waved goodbye to Mheetu and Nala.

"Will do;" Mheetu said, giving a peace sign to Kion, who gave one back.

"Bye;" Nala said, and then she walked off with Mheetu.

Simba opened the door and let Kion in and then went in after, leading to a white shepherd puppy jumping onto Kion, making him fall on his back and laugh as the puppy licked him. "Alright Masamune. I know I'm home." Kion grabbed Masamune and hugged him gently, letting him run off and play after. Kion then looked at Simba, giving a big smile. "And to think what would've happened if you didn't beg to keep him."

Simba laughed a bit at Kion's remark as the two walked into the living room. A young lioness with a slightly darker coat than Nala's was seen watching tv. When she noticed her brothers walking in, she became rather sour. "Oh great." The lioness then looked back at the tv. "It's you two."

"Yep, it's us Kiara;" Kion said as he hopped onto the couch next to Kiara. "What're you watching?"

"Go away, that's what;" Kiara said, not wanting to talk to Kion.

Kion then turned to Simba and made a paw figure of Kiara being rude, much to the amusement of his brother. Kiara then groaned at her brother's actions and threw the remote at his head, making him rub it in pain. "Ow." Kiara smirked as she then watched the tv again, giving Kion a frustrated look towards her. "Why do you always treat me like dirt? What did I do to you?"

"As an idiot, you would never understand;" Kiara said, wanting little to do with Kion.

Kiara then jumped off the couch and walked off in a fit of rage, making Kion feel bad. Simba then jumped up to Kion, putting his paw on his brother's shoulder. "Don't worry Kion. It's not your fault."

"Yeah, well that's what it feels like;" Kion said, upset that Kiara's always distant to him. "I feel like she hates me."

Simba then grabbed the remote from the couch arm, changing the channel to something Kion liked. Kion smiled when he saw what was on, sitting next to Simba as they watched it. Kion then wrapped an arm around his brother, giving him a one arm hug. "Ha. Kotetsu's so awesome. He just challenges everyone no matter what the circumstances are. He reminds me of Mheetu, and me on some occasions."

Kion and the others were seen at the arena seats, with Mheetu pumping up Kion for his match.

"Alright Kion. Now this may be your toughest opponent yet;" Mheetu said, excited to see Kion's battle. "Anyone who can beat ME is no one to be reckoned with, so get ready for a brutal fight."

Kion nodded and jumped out onto the arena, standing on his end, across from where the cloaked figure was. Both were in two leg mode and were excited for the match. The referee then got ready to announce the battle. "Welcome to the final round! In this match, whoever wins will be the champion of the junior division!" Kion was seen giving a peace sign to the audience, confident that he could win. "On the left we have Kion. The strongest fighter in his dojo class." Kion gave out an innocent laugh at the referee's remark. The cloaked figure was seen getting into a battle stance. "And on the right, we have the cloaked figure. Still not saying the name." The referee then raised his paw, ready to start the battle. "Let the battle begin!"

Kion launched a ki blast at the ground, dissapearing into the smoke. The cloaked figure then looked around for where Kion was, spotting him up above and charging a ki blast. Kion launched a giant ki blast at the cloaked figure, who back flipped away just in time. Kion landed on the ground and charged at the cloaked figure, aiming a punch at her chest. The cloaked figure grabbed Kion's paw after the impact, kneeing him and then roundhouse kicking him back. Kion back flipped to regain his balance and launched three ki blasts at the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure blocked the ki blasts, with the last one making her fall back a bit.

The cloaked figure started charging a ki blast with her paw, which was a familiar attack to Kion. "Oh. That's cool." Kion then raised his paw, using the same attack. "I can use the ki punch too." The cloaked figure seemed to have taken a liking to Kion's similarities in their attacks, charging at him at the same time he did. Kion and the cloaked figure punched each other right in the face, as they used opposite paws. Kion then low kicked the cloaked figure, who punched Kion in the gut. Kion then back flip kicked the cloaked figure, making her fall to the ground.

The cloaked figure was revealed to be a hyena cub with a scar on her left eye, as well as being about Kion's age. The cloaked figure stood up, enraged to have her identity revealed too early. "Someone's powerful now, isn't he?"

Everyone else appeared to be either shocked or surprised to see the cloaked figure's true identity, leading to the referee making a special announcment. "And in a somewhat stunning twist, the cloaked figure was revealed to be a hyena!" The hyena then clenched her fist in anger as the referee was making his next statement. "A rather sneaky move indeed."

The hyena then turned to the referee, pointing straight to him. "Hey dude! I couldn't get in here if I showed my face, so I had to sneak that cloak out of the base of the Out lands leader!" The hyena then turned to Kion, getting ready to continue. "And I'm not leaving until this battle has ended. And don't hold back just because I'm a girl." Kion nodded, respecting the hyena's wishes, still pumped up to go all out.

"That's one way to get into the tournament;" Simba said, hoping the hyena wasn't up to anything. "Judging by my dad's past with the hyenas, I wouldn't get too cocky."

"If this wasn't a battle, Kion would be the same;" Nala said, becoming worried for Kion."

"Do you ever have any guts?" Mheetu said in a rude tone, making Nala flick his head.

The referee then decided to continue the match. "Well, since you're already in the finals, I guess we can just continue the match!"

The hyena then smirked as she vanished, appearing behind a surprised Kion. Kion then turned around and blocked the hyena's kick, grabbing her foot and throwing her onto the floor. Kion then threw the hyena up and jumped up to her, ground pounding her right into the floor. The hyena landed perfectly and launched three ki blasts at Kion, who grabbed the first one and used it to block the other two. Kion then kicked the ki blast at a high speed, leading to the hyena catching it. The hyena struggled to keep her ground, almost falling off the arena.

The crowd started cheering for Kion to win, infuriating the hyena as she thought to herself. "If Mufasa hadn't been messed with by hyenas from HIS time, these idiots would be way less racist." The hyena then gave a smile, liking the challenge that Kion gave to her. "That said, I'm having more than enough fun." The hyena threw the ki blast into the air, looking at Kion who launched a ki beam at her. The hyena jumped out of the way and launched five ki blasts at Kion.

Kion punched and kicked the ki blasts away, charging at the hyena right after. Kion and the hyena collided at least four punches, one of them being back handed. Kion landed a hard high kick at the hyena's head, making her bleed a bit from there. Kion then backed up a bit, not wanting to injure the hyena. "Sorry. I wasn't intending on that part."

The hyena then smirked as she wiped the blood away, not giving a care in the world. "Only a softie would apologize in a battle." The hyena launched a ki blast at Kion, who grabbed it, allowing Jasiri to punch it. Seeing the hyena's plan from a mile away, Kion let go of the ki blast just before it exploded, sending both him and the hyena back. Kion then launched a ki beam at the hyena, who jumped out of the way. Kion and the hyena collided an air kick, leading to Kion kicking the hyena right in the face. The hyena flew right down into the arena floor, struggling to get up.

The referee started counting, finding the battle to be intense "One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" The hyena fell to her back, declaring Kion the winner. The referee then ran over to Kion, raising the young lion's paw. "The mysterious hyena was unable to get up! Therefore, Kion is the winner! And the champion of the junior division!"

The crowd cheered for Kion as the hyena stood up, walking over to Kion with a smile. Satisfied by her match, and more than glad for the battle, the hyena gave Kion a peace sign. "Names Jasiri." Kion then turned around and saw Jasiri holding her paw out, congratulating him in his victory. "That was the most fun I've had in a while Kion. Let's have a rematch sometime." Kion smiled and nodded, shaking the hyena's paw with no hesitation.

Jasiri walked out onto the arena entrance and sat down on the top step, taking out a book from her pack as she did so.

The book Jasiri was holding showed the same instruments from the prologue. Jasiri sighed as she opened the book, revealing a figure that looks like Kion. Jasiri had skepticism towards weather or not the Band Gods could really help her. Jasiri then looked at the figure a bit more, wondering if her most recent opponent could be linked to the Band Gods. Kion was seen walking down the hallway with Mheetu until he saw Jasiri sitting by herself, signaling Mheetu that he'd catch up with him, which Mheetu gave a friendly nod to as Kion walked out. Kion walked up to Jasiri and sat next to her. "Whatya reading there?"

Jasiri became surprised at the sound and turned to see Kion, who gave her a kind and genuine smile. Jasiri felt good to see someone be so kind to her, despite her species. "Just a book on some stupid Legend. It says it's supposed to help everyone with their problems."

"So it's like a genie?" Kion asked, and Jasiri laughed at his goofy, yet somewhat accurate question.

"It's actually a band;" Jasiri revealed, much to Kion's surprise. "There are seven elements. Fire, water, wind, lightning, nature, light, and dark. The first one is the leader of the Band Gods and is also the most powerful. Or at least that's what the Legend tells you."

Kion thought for a moment on what the Band Gods could do, considering that Jasiri said they could help everyone with their problems. "So why do YOU want to find the Band Gods?" Jasiri then remembered some dark thoughts, making Kion worried for her. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." Jasiri looked at Kion with a surprised look, amazed that he'd respect her wishes. "It's clear that you're not ready to talk about it. You can say when you're ready."

Jasiri held back her tears at Kion's kindness and decided that he was worth telling her secret. In spite of what he'd think of it, she breathed in through her nose, and out from her mouth. Knowing that Kion, despite just meeting him in a tournament, was worthy of knowing her reasons, Jasiri regretted no words that came out of her mouth. "It's for my brother." Kion gained interest in what Jasiri just told him, sparking the young hyena to continue. "See, he got cursed by Dark Kion a while back when he was trying to protect me from him, and now he has evil in him." Jasiri then looked at the ground. "He's been abusing me ever since."

Kion flinched at what Jasiri had just stated, curious to how someone could be so cold. "Wow. Like, physical or mental?"

"Little of both;" Jasiri said, and then she continued her explanation. "I can't remember most of my past, so I don't know if it was from his intention. Heck, I don't even remember two thirds of the stuff that happened then. All I remember is some brutal stuff happening to me." Jasiri then held back her tears as to not worry Kion. "And while I knew it was because of Janja's curse, the curse is why I'm out here. Maybe the Band Gods can cure him."

Kion felt bad for Jasiri's struggles and didn't want to leave her out in the dust. Kion then felt bad, knowing that his father wouldn't allow him to help Jasiri. Kion then realized that he could at least try, knowing the fairness of his father, and then he turned to Jasiri with confidence. "We could ask my dad to help."

Jasiri became surprised by Kion's offer as she looked at him with joy. "Really?"

"He's had a bad past with the hyenas, but I can convince him;" Kion said, knowing his father rather well, pointing to himself with his thumb. "And considering how awesome I am, it shouldn't be too much of an issue." Jasiri laughed at Kion's cockiness, finding it rather well mixed with his kindness.

Mufasa was seen looking over Pride rock while thinking about his past.

Kion looked up from the steps of Pride rock, glad to see his father there, pumping his fist. "Yes. He's off work." Kion started to walk up to Mufasa, only to notice that Jasiri wasn't behind him, looking back to see her standing still. Kion hopped down from where he was standing, confused as to why Jasiri didn't move. "Is something bothering you Jasiri?"

Jasiri rubbed her arm, feeling nervous about speaking with the kind of a land she wasn't allowed in. Kion then realized that Jasiri possibly has social anxiety, which was likely another reason she hid herself. "You have trouble with sociality. Aren't you." Jasiri nodded her head slowly, feeling nervous about what she was doing. "Trust me Jasiri. As long as I'm here, dad wouldn't even think of violence. He doesn't even know I'm a fighter."

Jasiri became surprised by Kion's confession about hiding his hobby, partially restoring her earlier courage from her battle. Jasiri smiled at Kion, walking past him and allowing him to walk next to her. Kion and Jasiri walked up to Mufasa, with Kion beginning the conversation. "Dad? I have someone here who could use your help."

Mufasa turned around, surprised to see a hyena with his son. "You're a long way from home now."

"Yes, I know, but I have my reasons;" Jasiri said, trying not to sound worried. "I'm sure you're well aware of the Legend of the Band Gods."

"Yes, quite certainly;" Mufasa said, interested in what Jasiri had to say.

"Well...I was wondering if you, could maybe...help me find them?"

Mufasa became surprised by Jasiri's request, being well aware of how hard the Band Gods were to find. Mufasa turned to Kion, who nodded his head yes, showing it was okay to accept. Mufasa put his hatred for hyenas aside in favor for helping Jasiri. "This doesn't mean we're on good terms hyena."

"Jasiri."

"Right. But I'll be willing to help you, as long as you don't hurt my son. If you even try it, I will have your throat."

Jasiri became shocked by Mufasa's threat, knowing not to backstab him. "Yeah dude. No problem."

Kion and Jasiri were seen walking through the Pride lands where no one could see them.

"He didn't even ask me to bow;" Jasiri said, relieved at how well the talk went. "And considering what you told me on the way over there, I almost saw my butt on a silver plate."

Kion chuckled a bit at Jasiri's words, finding them fitting for what someone with worry would think. "That's one way to put it. I'll make sure he doesn't go down on his word."

Jasiri smiled upon Kion's words to which Kion smiled back to, seeing a friendship begin to blossom with them. A teenage hyena figure was shown in the shadows of trees, gaining a somewhat menocing glare.

A teenage hyena with a black mark on his left arm was seen running through the Out lands, having a rather serious look on his face. The hyena ran past other hyenas, leading up to a base that's shown to be connected to a volcano.

Two hyenas were shown, one bulky, and one thin, as the thin one was seen making himself a calzone while talking in a sassy tone. "I'm just saying dude. The least you could do is not leave your stuff on the floor. I know we're hyenas, but that's no excuse to be savage."

"Cmon Cheezi. Learn to live a little." The bulky hyena said in a carefree way, before letting out a big burp.

Cheezi rolled his eyes as Chungu laughed a bit. "At least say excuse me Chungu. This ain't no barn."

"Admit it buddy. You like sharing a room with me and Janja;" Chungu said, lying down on the couch.

Just then, the teenage hyena from earlier bursted into the room. "Cheezi! Chungu! Stop being sassy and lazy and come with me! I found out why Jasiri went to the Pride lands today! Aside from the tournament."

Cheezi then snickered a bit, getting a pick on one of the teenage hyena's habits. "What was it Janja? Was it to get away from your sleep farting?" Cheezi snarked, making himself chuckle as Janja rolled his eyes.

"No, it was not to get away from my sleep farting;" Janja said, annoyed at Cheezi's words. "You know she left a long time ago." Janja began to get serious. "No, apparently she's trusting some kid named Kion to help her find the Band Gods.

Cheezi and Chungu became surprised by this information as they then looked at Janja. The two became excited to hear that they could find the Band Gods. "We gotta tell the boss!"

"That's why I came in, now cmon!" Janja shouted, running off with Cheezi and Chungu behind him.

A dark version of Kion was seen walking into a room with a bunch of hyena's on both sides. The dark figure was seen looking down at his minions, signaling them to take over Japan. Fifty hyenas went into the plane to Japan, giving the dark figure satisfaction, as he then heard Janja's voice. "Dark Kion! You gotta hear about this!"

The hyena trio were seen walking into Dark Kion's office as a lioness with Out lands like fur turned around in a chair. "Oh great. It's the bozo trio. Let me guess, you found your tail again?" Janja brushed off Vitani's comment while Cheezi growled at it and Chungu shrugged to it. "Eh, whatever. If you want the boss he's in his hallway of his hyena army. Just don't get your butts chopped off." Vitani laughed a bit as Janja rolled his eyes, walking off with Cheezi and Chungu.

Dark Kion arrived in the room, walking up to the hyena trio and speaking in a menocing tone. "Don't dissapoint me."

Janja nodded, not wanting to get his neck chopped off. "You see Dark Kion sir, we found out that Jasiri apparently asked Kion to help him with finding the Band Gods."

Dark Kion became shocked to hear Kion's name, remembering how he was created. "Kion? His dark essence is what created me."

Dark Kion walked over to his computer in a calm manner and looked up Kion's location. Kion was seen with Jasiri as he gave her a milkshake. "Simba makes the best milkshaked in the world Jasiri. You gotta try one." Jasiri smiled at Kion's offer as the two began sipping their milkshakes.

Dark Kion turned off the computer, gaining a dark smile. "Sadly, I can't kill Kion, as I would die too. If we imprison the cub before he finds out about his powers however, we should be able to win." Dark Kion gained a menocing grin, turning to the hyena trio. "You three. Go to the Pride lands with the other hyena members and capture Kion and his friends. We'll think of a way to hid me from those imbeciles."

Janja then thought about Jasiri, not wanting to hurt his little sister. "Um...Dark Kion sir? What if we choose NOT to imprison them?"

Dark Kion gained an evil grin as his eyes flashed red, choking Janja with his evil glare. Dark Kion began to speak in a threatening way, refusing to let Janja betray him. "Now surely you wouldn't want the consequences of THAT to happen now, would you?"

Janja barely managed to nod his head no, being too frightened during the suffocation. Dark kion released Janja, who had enough fear in his eyes to traumatize a normal hyena. Janja breathed in and out, unable to cope with what he could've been if it wasn't for the curse. Cheezi and Chungu hugged Janja with sincerity, comforting the hyena out of his fear. Janja stopped breathing and felt the fear leave him with the help of Cheezi and Chungu, walking off with them to execute the plan. Dark kion spawned a dark orb from his paw, getting ready for some torture.

Kion was seen talking to the others about Jasiri's situation.

"So basically, Jasiri's trying to look for the Band Gods so she can help Janja;" Kion said, sounding confident that the others would help. "Or at least that's what SHE knows. She told me she forgot a huge part of her past a long time ago on the way to meeting dad."

Simba looked at Jasiri and spoke in a calm and caring tone, seeing that she was pure of heart. "Well any ally of Kion's is one of ours." Simba turned to Nala and Mheetu. "Right guys?"

"You bet Simba;" Nala said, more than willing to help out Jasiri.

"That's mostly with any of us just so you know;" Mheetu said, and then put his finger under his nose and started rubbing it. "Just keep in mind that they'd be on their feet searching for those band gods if it was ME you battled in the finals and bonded with."

Jasiri rolled her eyes while smiling at Mheetu's cockiness, finding it somewhere along the lines of Kion's with it's charm. Kion then sensed something, looking off into the distance, which caught Simba's attention. "Something up Kion?" Kion walked over to where he was sensing the power from, curious and cautious to what it could be. Just then, Janja popped out from a bush, appearing in front of Kion and making him step back a bit.

Simba and the others walked up to Kion and Janja, with Simba speaking in a serious, yet prince like tone. "Hello sir. How may we help you?"

Janja let out a cocky sneer, getting ready to plan the imprisonment on Kion. "Why thank you for asking." Janja snapped his fingers, signaling the hyena clan to appear before Kion and the others. Kion and the others seemed cautious about what was happening, with Jasiri getting ready for battle. Mheetu felt excited to bash all of the enemies skulls in, with Simba assuring a scared Nala that everything was okay. Kion then looked around and put on a serious face, refusing to let Janja hurt his friends.

To be continued.
