The Lion King...WWE/TNA Style!

[Pika Hikari KT]

Okay, I'm gonna try this fanfic thing again...and once again, I will be be torturing our favorite professional grapplers! Wish me luck!^_^ It has been rated PG-13 for violence and swearing.
(Disclaimer: I don't own WWE, TNA, or The Lion King...why do I feel the need to always add these little disclaimers when everyone knows I don't own 'em!@_@)
--------------------
Prologue: A Purr-fect Plan

...Why the hell am I here?!

That was the thought running through the wrestlers in the large high school auditorium. One moment, they were doing whatever it was they were doing(prepping for a PPV, going to a house show, etc.), and the next moment most of the workers from World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling(TNA) had suddenly appeared in this somewhat-mysterious place. It sort of gave the younger men and women nostalgia, but that's beside the point.

Suddenly; the WWE Champion, John Cena stood up. The 28 year old rapper from Massachussetts wasn't exactly one for patience; and needless to say, he was losing his cool. He was in the front row with the other title-holders, so he climbed up to the large 4 foot tall stage a few feet in front of him.

"Alright, if none of you want to find out why the hell we're here; I might as well bust us out!" With a murmur of approval from the heels(especially his current rival, Triple H...no doubt out of cowardice), Cena strided to a door to his right, a bit hidden by the very back rows of seats where some of the Cruiserweights and jobbers sat. There was a problem though...

The double-doors were clearly locked by a huge padlock and chain. Ironically, it looked a lot like the one Cena himself used to wear before he became champion. There was a single door behind him, but that was locked as well.

The Dr. of Thuganomics gave a cocky grin as he prepared to tackle the door down. One...two...three...GO! He started to charge, but then:

"Go, Gravity Bind!"

Dammit! I..can't...move! Cena wanted to talk, but he couldn't. He had been paralyzed somehow! In his mind, he wanted to kill whoever had done this. But that voice that called out...it seemed so familiar...

"Reckless as always, huh Cena-chan?"

Everyone looked towards the young female voice...well, except Cena. He couldn't move. But he knew who it was anyways, for it was...the authoress of this story.

She was currently 17 years old, but looked a bit younger. KT's brown hair was in a ponytail, held back by a plastic headband. Unlike most girls in her class, she usually wore clothes that didn't suggest sexual attraction(Usually, it was a matching blue outfit of sweatpants and coudoroys). On her arm was some sort of device which had a card in it. To complete her look, she always wore her reading glasses.

"Aw, crap; not her again!" Amy 'Lita' Dumas yelled in horror. Her boyfriend, Adam 'Edge' Copeland looked at her in question. "Li, you know this kid?"

"Yeah--some of the guys here should know me from my little disaster that was my Pokémon crossover..." KT said with a sheepish smile and a sweatdrop. That same look was on the faces of Ric Flair, D-Von Dudley, and Randy Orton. Lita and Steve Austin both gave her a certain gesture...common for SC, but not for the red-headed Diva!

Cena was still paralyzed, and by now he really wanted to kill the girl. He tried yelling, but his mouth couldn't move, so it only got out an annoyed grunt. KT noticed this and took the purple card out of the strange device. Cena was in a position to fall down when the card was activated...and fall he did.

"Um...Cena, get back to your seat. Time to announce the reason I've summoned you guys here!" The authoress exclaimed with a cute giggle.

"It's not gonna be another crossover is it?!" Lita yelled.

"Well, not exactly..." KT began "What I'm doing is...a movie parody! And I will select the actors in it!" This got a tremendous groan from everyone. The TNA cast was still very confused at this turn of events, as most of them did not know this strange fangirl.

Then Christian Cage(the NWA Champion) decided to speak up. "And why exactly are you doing this?"

"For my own personal amusement, duh!" At that, she stuck he tongue out to tease them, enfuriating her prisoners even more. "And don't think you're getting out of here--I have Yu-Gi-Oh traps and I'm not afraid to use them. That Gravity Bind you just saw lets only the Cruiserweights and jobbers bust down that door...not like they can." At this, Rey Mysterio gave KT a dirty look.

"Now, the movie we will be doing is my personal favorite--'The Lion King'! Lightning, pass out the scripts to those who need 'em." At that, KT handed a bunch of scripts to a familiar yellow Pokémon at her side, and she handed them out(though it was a bit hard with those tiny things she called forepaws). The wrestlers with the main characters looked either embarrassed or disgusted with their roles.

Afterwards, 'Lightning' came back to her with three scripts--the ones for Young Simba, Adult Simba, and Young Nala.

"Give the Young Simba script to Rey-rey: His son Dominic will be playing that role," Rey looked understandably shocked.

"I'll be playing Young Nala myself," She took the second script.

"and Adult Simba...is a secret. I'll summon him when it's time."

The yellow mouse looked as confused as the wrestlers, but shrugged and scampered off backstage.

"And now," KT said, turning to the upset and confused wrestlers. "I bid you farewell...'til next week!" Before the grapplers got a chance to react; KT snapped her fingers, and her audience was gone. Before walking to the van outside; she jumped up and down, cheering. She was clearly happy at what she had accomplished.

"These next few weeks are gonna be so much fun~!"
--------------------
Yeah, bad prologue; but I had to start somewhere, right? Well, the torture continues next week~

 

[Poison Master]

haha, I could see this being quite a good fic if developed properly (Keep in mind I have not seen WWE for a good 4 year or so) I could imagine HHH using his powers to keep the younger and more talented people off the movie. Although I really do hope you push the younger people and more unknown peeps (Lance Storm, Spanky, Christian etc) and wrestlers with actual talent (Edge, Jericho, Angle, Benoit etc) over the ones who everyone seems to talk about (Cena, Batista, HHH) but still, good show so far, but try and get a little more into it next time.

 

[DragonDance]

Nice. put me on the PM list pwease!

 

[Exel 4.0]

WWE sucks: its a waste of time, and I don't even know what TNA is. But somewhat well written. Just don't overuse the colon and the semicolon. They are two powerful weapons only to be used when you know what you're doing! I am somewhat reckless in my writing when I use them (after the second word, for example), and I'm still trying to find out the best times to use them.

Suddenly; the WWE Champion, John Cena stood up. The 27 year old rapper from Massachussetts wasn't exactly one for patience; and needless to say, he was losing his cool. He was in the front row with the other title-holders, so he climbed up to the large 4 foot tall stage a few feet in front of him

See, that semicolon right beside the 'Suddenly'? It's supposed to be a comma. And you're missing a period at the end of the paragraph

 

[DragonDance]

^ If you think WWE sucks, then why did you post?

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

Well, I'll try my best to be good and descriptive. I have access to the script, and will group scenes as I see fit. Chapter 1 will cover Circle of Life to just before we see Young Simba(or Dominic Mysterio, in this case!). Here we go!
-------------------
Chapter 1: Circle of Superstars

Wednesday, March 15. Time to go back with the authoress and our favorite grapplers. And KT is...not torturing them?

Yep, you read that right. From the moment she finished explaining to the cast what scenes they were doing first, KT had taken 9-year-old Dominic to work on his role as Young Simba. Let's join them on the stage, shall we?

"Okay, Dominic...you sure you've mastered your lines?" KT was skeptical about choosing him to play the lead cub--after all, he was the youngest...and more than that, she wasn't sure if he had completely recovered from the death of his father's close friend so soon after a storyline all three were involved in.

"Ci! Hakuna Matata!" KT had to chuckle at this--the kid had better optimism than Rey himself! Then it was on to the part she wanted to prepare him for.

"Alright now," KT started, "this stunt is why I'm being Young Nala instead of another Diva...or even Double H's daughter."

"Double H? Dontcha mean Triple H?" Dominic was curious why the 3-year WWE fan had made a naming mistake.

The authoress smiled. She knew she'd get asked this question someday. "Well; when I say Triple H, I do mean The Game. But I say Double H to refer to Hulk Hogan. So I was referring to Brooke, okay?" Maybe if I do another one of these, I can use her for Alice in Wonderland... KT thought to herself with a giggle.

KT then looked at the clock--3:00 p.m., fifteen minutes after she started. "Sorry Dominic, we'll have to do this next week. Since I'm not using you until then, can you help me do roll call?" She may have seemed a bit mean and commanding to the big adults much taller than her, but she thought of herself as a role model figure to the ones younger than her.

After the two kids had gathered the cast, KT took out a sheet of paper and ran down the names with the roles they'd be playing.

"Edge--playing Mufasa." The Rated R Superstar looked ready to Spear her as he silently raised his hand.

"Lita--playing Sarabi." Like her on-screen boyfriend, Lita made a scowl and raised her hand.

KT then smiled at the next name and gave the paper for her helper to read. "Rey Mysterio--playing Zazu! Nice one dad!" "Very funny, Dominic..."

There were two more characters after that(Rafiki and Scar), and then there was a couple of castmates who weren't in the actual parody.

KT read the next name: "Alex Shelley--cameraman!"

This was a no-brainer, as Shelley(one of Jeff Jarrett's lackeys) was recently starting to tape his matches in order to get better each week on Impact. The black-and-blond haired wrestler quickly shouted "Present!" and ran into position with his camcorder--back row center.

"And last, but certainly not least--The Undertaker with the special effects! ...Uh, Taker?"

She did a quick scan of the stage--no Deadman in sight. Then KT realized what happened--he must have teleported away without the usual blackout! He's my favorite wrestler, but you can't keep track of him for a damn second!

"Oh well...I'll have to use another Trap to get him back." True, she could've just used her PWNage Authoress Powers(C) to summon him...but that took a lot out of her, and would require intense concentration. Sighing, KT took another purple Yu-Gi-Oh card out of her pocket. Concentrating on the task at hand, she shouted its name:

"Return from the Different Dimension!"

The card glowed brightly, then the whole room went black. A second later, they came back on...and there was a loud shriek--the card had brought the Phenom back, but he was now right in front of Shelley(who almost got his camcorder broken, dropping it out of shock)!

"Damn you..." Mark 'Undertaker' Calloway growled at the young high school Junior as he turned around, the end of his long black coat swishing when he did so(and nearly knocking over Shelley in the process!). Lightning(not the Pikachu) seemed to crackle between the two...until KT looked down, slightly blushing. Not even she could win a staring contest with Taker!

"Um...you're going to be in the top box, okay Taker-sama?" KT mumbled quietly.

Taker said nothing as he turned around(pushing Shelley aside yet again!) and went to his place in the top box/control room upstairs.

A minute later, a sort of whirring sound was heard. Everyone looked up to see a gigantic roll-down movie screen slowly come down. KT looked directly across the room, and she saw the Phenom put a medium-sized disc into...the DVD player! He then stared at the screen, and the movie inside immediately went to the familiar Lion King menu screen.

...how'd he know I wanted the movie played for background reasons? KT was happy, but she didn't expect Calloway to listen to her so readily. She shrugged it off and got into 'director mode'.

"Okay people, get into positions! Shelley, Taker; start 'em up--let's do this thing!"

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

(Circle of Superstars--continued)
--------------
KT headed backstage(Dominic had headed for the back row of seats to watch), where the authoress took a microphone from one of the chairs. If she was going to be in her school's high school-level chorus, she had to get used to singing before a group of people. Thus, her first big step was to sing 'Circle of Life' in the presence of the wrestlers. KT blushed, and started to reconsider...but then a reassuring paw on her shoulder got her courage back.

"Pikachu ka, Kachi?" "No, I'm fine. Thanks, Li-chan."

The first few Swahili lines in the song kicked in, and KT watched for her cue to start. The actual set was somewhat basic--several large pieces of cardboard made up Pride Rock, and a large picture of the view below was on the floor. Finally, KT started the song:

From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

During this; Alex Shelley keeps his camera on the movie screen, showing the animals moving to Pride Rock.(on a personal note, I love the 'ant to antelope' sequence here)

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

At this, KT kicks it up as the movie starts showing Pride Rock--cue Rey-rey/Zazu!

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Rey is precariously hanging from a bungee-jump cord until he reaches the tip of Pride Rock. He then reluctantly bows to Edge/Mufasa, who secretly flashes a 'V for Victory' sign at the camera...then extends the pinky to make it Matt Hardy's famous Version One symbol. Score! KT rolls her eyes as she continues.

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

Cue Rafiki, being played by Ric Flair(woo~!)! He and Edge hug, but they break away just as quickly--they had a feud a few months ago, if you recall. Now we go to a pretty flute instrumental as Edge leads Flair to Lita/Sarabi, holding a...domestic kitten?(well, they are in the same family) Ric goes through a sort of christening ceremony; spreading some sort of liquid on the kitten's forehead, then sprinkling a bit of sand over him(nya-choo!). Finally, he picks up the kitty and ascends to the tip of the rock--holding him out for the animals to see as there is a crescendo in the music, and KT has to do the refrain again:

It's The Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

"Taker! Lights!" Taker dims the lights until there is one--representing the sunbeam that should highlight Ric and the kitten on the tip. The animals bow one by one in the movie...can't say how appropriate this is for Naitch as it is for the kitten playing the cub.

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

And cue the title screen! "Onto the next scene, guys!" Okay; by this time, KT could barely speak. Oh well.

The next scene starts out with a kangaroo mouse sniffing about. Here, it's represented by the tiny purple and white rodent Pokémon, Rattata. It is soon snatched up by our Scar, played by...Jason 'Christian Cage' Reso!

"Life's not fair, is it?" Christian asks the rat sadly. While CC says his lines, he is tossing it about between his hands.

"You see, I--well I..shall never be king. And you shall never see the light of another day," Christian smirks at the rodent at this. "..adieu..."

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?" A very weak British-accented voice asks--it's Rey.

Christian sighs, the Rattata trying to escape from under his firm grip. "What do you want?"

"I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way," Rey makes it clear with a quick bow. "so you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning." At the end of Rey's line, the young Rattata decides to put its maturing teeth to good use--it bites Christian's hand.

"OW! I was gonna let you go, you CLB!" KT quickly returns the Pokémon to a Pokéball before any more harm is done. "Get on with the scene, guys!"

"Fine..." Christian sighs, and recites his line. "Oh, look now Zazu; you made me lose my lunch."

Rey gives a short laugh at that. "You'll lose more than that when the King gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia."

Christian gives a smirk at this, and starts to stalk towards the psudo-cruiser. "Ooh, I quiver with FEAR." He gets ready to make a pounce...

"Now Scar, don't look at me that way...HELP!"

"Scar!"

(Of course, CC hasn't truly eaten our future Heavyweight champ. Rey rolled away behind Christian when he pounced. Back to the scene.)

Christian--with his cheeks puffed up to create the illusion--turns towards the voice. Yeah, big brother Edge saves the day. "Drop him."(From behind Christian, Rey throws his voice to give his line: "Impeccable timing, your majesty.") Christian does as he says, pretending to spit him out. Rey rolls back in, landing on his back.

"Why, if it isn't my big brother descending from on high to mingle with the commoners." Christian sounds pleasant--too pleasant. But Edge looked quite angry--hell, when isn't he?

"Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba." At this, Christian fakes his astonishment and starts scraping his nails on the screen(hey!).

"That was today? Oh, I feel simply awful." Everyone and their cat winces at the loud 'nails on the chalkboard' sound. "...Must've slipped my mind."

"Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother, you should have been first in line!" Rey scolds. This causes Christian to playfully click his teeth at him, and Rey scurries back.

"Well, I was first in line..." Christan starts, bending to meet Rey's sky-blue eyes, "Until the little hairball was born." Obviously, this comes across to the audience as a typical little brother grudge.

Edge bends low to stare down his brother. "That 'hairball' is my son... and your future king."

"Oh, I shall practice my curtsy" Christian sarcasically shoots back and starts to leave.

Edge narrows his eyes in warning. "Don't turn your back on me, Scar."

"Oh, no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me." Christian retorts cooly.

It's the final straw for Edge--he slides in front of his leaving brother, growling(even baring his teeth). "Is that a challenge?"

Staying cool, Christian declines the offer. "Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream of challenging you."

"Pity," Rey speaks up, "Why not?"

Christian looks at him quizzically. "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But when it comes to brute strength..." He trails off, looking primarily at Edge. "I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Exit the NWA Champ.

Rey climbs on Edge's shoulder as a perch and sighs. "There's one in every family, sire... Two in mine, actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions."

"What am I going to do with him?" asks Edge.

"He'd make a very handsome throw rug."

This is amusing, even for a heel. "Rey-rey!" Smiling, Rey continues. "And just think! Whenever he gets dirty, you could take him out and BEAT him." The two exit, chuckling.

"Okay, I think that's enough for today! Great job guys!" KT smiles, and looks towards the fourth wall(NO~!). "See you next week, nya!"
----------------
Okay, so I didn't get as far as I said I would, but it was still a long update. 'Til next week!

 

[DragonDance]

lol at Shelly.

I liked it. Pretty funny.

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

lol at Shelly.

Yeah, poor Shelley. As I was typing up the chapter, I decided to make that a little running gag. First Sting, now Taker...I didn't really mean to do this, as I rather like Alex. But it kinda slid into place...

Oh, and remember the hint I gave the other day? S.U.N...Seis Uno Nueve--6-1-9 in Spanish!

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

Konnichinya! Let's get this rolling again!
------------
Chapter 2: Big Annoyance for Little Rey

"Alright Dominic; one more time now..."

Dominic ran towards his target on all fours as he attempted to knock her down. The problem was, KT chose herself to play Young Nala for this very reason: as Dominic pushed her shoulders to the carpet, she rolled backwards, taking the young boy with her. They landed with a thud...but with the authoress on top. To prove her pin, she playfully counted three as she tapped the floor.

"Okay...that was good." KT said as she caught her breath. "You're getting better at this!" Dominic could barely get out his thanks--this stuff was hard work!

Later, everything was set up, and KT was ready to call the shots. Despite being yelled at by Christian and Alex Shelley(CC's hand was in a bandage for the rest of the week, and Shelley needed to vent his frustration at being pushed around), she was all set. "Places everyone! You ready, Alex? ...Taker?" They were ready to go.

KT smiled. "Action!"

The stage looked like a large tree in a thunderstorm(slight rain being provided by a certain Phenom...), which Flair was pretending to paint on in the interior. After a few mutters to himself, he stands back to look at the picture he's 'made' of a lion cub. Ric completes the picture as he says but one name:

"Simba..."

The short scene over, Flair rushes offstage with a smirk--we won't be seeing him again for a while. The stage somehow changes to Pride Rock again(it's now the break of day), and Dominic/Young Simba runs out...and happily scampers back into the den.

"Dad! Daad! Come on, Dad, we gotta go. Wake up!" As he runs towards Edge and Lita, he pretends to jump on the rest of the pride. When he gets there, he does what every kid his age does on Christmas: Wake up his parents.

"Dad? Daad. Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad..." Yep, what'd I tell ya? Edge and Lita are quickly getting annoyed by this, obviously.

"Your son... is awake..." Lita mumbles.

"He's not my son, and you know it!" Edge whispers back.

KT sighed--Cena and Austin were rebels, but at least they knew what she was capable of. Adam Copeland would take a bit more convincing...and she had the perfect weapons. She pulled something out of her backpack, took aim...and fired it straight at the Rated R Superstar!

"OW! What the f---" It hit its target, but what exactly was 'it'? Edge groaned as he pulled out from his blond hair...a thumbtack. KT knew that he had a Hardcore match coming up, and had brought along a package of the 'tacks along just in case.

"Fine...I'll do it. Stupid little-"

"EDGE!"

"I hate you..."

"Before sunrise, he's your son." Edge recites with a scowl. Right after this, Dominic let himself fall off Edge after getting tired of ranting. Wouldn't blame him. He then smirks and headbutts Adam--payback for Spearing his father, even though this is in the script. "You promised!"

Note to self...kill annoying teenager when this is over! "Okay, okay. I'm up. I'm up." Dominic cheered at this, as Edge gave a gigantic yawn...well, a big as one that he could give anyway. This was backed up by the sound effect of a real lion's roar!

The two head to the very top of Pride Rock, and Edge starts what I'd call a 'father rant': "Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom."

Dominic is in awe, and why shouldn't he--the view is beautiful. Shelley makes sure to slowly go to the right during this shot.

"A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun." Edge continues, "One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king."

"And this will all be mine?" Dominic asks in wonder.

"Everything."

"Everything the light touches..." Dominic trails off as he spots an area that the sun's light doesn't touch--a canyon to the right of him. "What about that shadowy place?" He asks.

"That's beyond our borders." Edge answers with a frown. "You must never go there, Simba."

Dominic is clearly confused. "But I thought a king can do whatever he wants."

"Oh, there's more to being king than... getting your way all the time." Edge says as he heads back down to the stage. Dominic's in awe again. "There's more?" "Simba..."

Back on the stage, Edge continues his rant. "Everything you see exists together, in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures-- from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope." Right on cue, a herd of antelope jump by on the video.

Dominic is a bit confused. "But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?" "Yes, Simba, but let me explain..."

"When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." A second later, Rey jumps onto a nearby styrofoam rock.

"Good morning, sire!"

"Good morning, Zazu."

Rey sighs, knowing what's about to happen. "Checking in... with the morning report."

"CUT! Understudy for Edge!" KT shouts suddenly.

"Um, Miss KT..." Dominic says timidly.

"Yes, Dominic?"

"What's an understudy?"

KT smiles as she explains. "It's kind of another word for 'stunt double'. Edgy's gonna get a bit of a break for this scene, and someone much more...suitable will be standing in."

On cue, Adam scrambles off the stage and makes himself comfortable on a front row seat. "Perfect--no more of this torture!"

"...Until next week." KT finishes for him.

"Dammit. But who's my understudy?" KT grins like a little she-devil when Edge finished the question.

"Oh, Monty~!"

Since this was the Pouncing scene, KT thought that the master of the Pounce(...period!) would help greatly for this scene. Sure enough, the former linebacker trudged himself out. Of course, if looks could kill...KT would be on the recieving end of the shoulder tackle Monty called his finisher.

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

(Big Annoyance for Little Rey--Continued)
-------------
'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown sighed at his luck. And without a title reign in sight. "If you do to me what you did to Edge, you will SO be on the recieving end...of a--"

"I know what you're gonna yowl so don't blow your lungs out." KT knew Monty's routine all too well. Sure, she liked him. But he had a pretty bad temper... "Let's go back to the scene guys! Action!"

"Fire away." Edg--er, Monty replied to Rey, who started his report.

"Well! The buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot..."

During this, Dominic notices a Diglett pop up(don't ask how). He tries a bit of whack-a-mole to get it, then a small pounce; but fails all the same.

Monty is watching him(totally ignoring Rey). "What are you doing, son?"

"Pouncing."

"Let an old pro show you how it's done." Dominic giggles at the chance to get a jump on his own father and nods quickly.

Monty turns to Rey-rey. "Zazu, would you turn around?"

"Yes, sire." Rey immediately goes back to work. "The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say 'Cheetahs never prosper'..."

"Stay low to the ground." Monty whispers quietly.

"Okay, stay low to the ground, right...yeah... " Dominic replies.

By now, Rey realizes something isn't right. "What going on?"

"A pouncing lesson." Monty replies, smirking.

"Oh very good. Pouncing." Rey-rey then realizes what he's gotten himself into. "Pouncing!?! Oh no, sire, you can't be serious..." Monty twirls his finger around to Rey, who gets the idea and turns back around. "Oh...this is so humiliating."

Monty gives Dominic another piece of advice: "Try not to make a sound..."

Rey was very uneasy about this--and he wasn't supposed to dodge this! Preparing for the worst, he said his line. "What are you telling him, Mufasa?" He looks around. No sign of his son. No sign of the Alpha Male.

"...Monty? Dominic?"

POOOOUUUNNCE! ...period.

"...ow..."

The Diglett pops up right next to him, and the movie fills in for his Pokémonese. "Zazu!"

"Yes?" Rey answers in exasperation.

"Sir. News from the underground." The Diglett tries to make a salute, but only succeeds in sticking part of its long body out.

Meanwhile, Monty is still letting Dominic practice. "Now, this time--" Then Rey pops up, a horrified look behind his mask.

"Sire! Hyenas! In the Pride Lands!"

Monty gets dead serious at this, and stops playing. "Zazu, take Simba home."

"Oh, Dad, can't I come?" Dominic whines.

"No, son." Monty answers curtly and runs backstage.

Dominic starts pouting at this. "I never get to go anywhere."

"Oh, young master, one day you will be king;" said Rey, "then you can chase those slobbering mangy stupid poachers from dawn until dusk."

"Next scene!" KT yelled. "Rey-rey, out. Jay-jay, in."

"Jay-jay?!" Needless to say, Christian was bewildered at the new nickname.

Another scene change--this time, it's to a ledge on Pride Rock--probably where Scar lives. Dominic runs up to a pacing Christian.

"Hey Uncle Scar! Guess what!" Dominic says happily.

Christian has a 'whatever' type face going for him as he replies. "I despise guessing games."

Dominic decides to tell him anyway, not sensing his sarcasm. "I'm going to be king of Pride Rock."

"Oh goody..."

Dominic looks at the view as he continues. "My dad just showed me the whole kingdom; and I'm going to rule it all. Heh heh."

"Yes. Well...forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know." Must be scoliosis--do lions get that? Anyways, Christian plops down onto his side.

"Hey, Uncle Scar?" asks Dominic, "When I'm king, what'll that make you?"

"A monkey's uncle." Christian jokes sarcastically.

Dominic chuckles at the somewhat-rude joke. "You're so weird."

"You have no idea."

"...So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?" Christian asks.

"Everything." Dominic says proudly.

Capt. Charisma decides to put this to the test. "He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border...?"

"Well, no..." Dominic says, disappointed. "he said I can't go there."

"And he's absolutely right." Christian agrees. "It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there."

Dominic's a bit peeved at this. "Well, I'm brave! What's out th--"

"No, I'm sorry, Simba, I just can't tell you." Christian interrupts.

"Why not?" Dominic asks, quite curious.

"Simba, Simba, I'm only looking out for the well-being of my favorite nephew." CC shows his love by ruffling up Dominic's hair.

"Yeah, right, I'm your only nephew." Dominic retorts.

"All the more reason for me to be protective..." Christian continues. "An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince...oops." Too little, too late for Christian--sort of.

Of course, Dominic picked that info right up. "An elephant what? Whoa."

At this, Christian feigns dismay at what he's done. "Oh dear, I've said too much... Well, I suppose you'd have found sooner or later, you being so clever and all..."

Christian pulls Dominic close in that heelish sort of way. "Oh, just do me one favor--promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place."

Thinking(with a look saying Heck no!), Dominic gives him an answer. "No problem."

"There's a good lad. You run along now and have fun." Christian says...but throws something in for 'good measure'. "And remember... it's our little secret."

Dominic scampers backstage, and Christian walks off too...but with a smirk on his face.

"And that's all for today." KT exclaims "Great job guys. We better get outta here before the other cast arrives."

"Other cast?" Christian asks.

"Wizard of Oz play."

"Oh..."

Mufasa/Edge: Dark Red
Scar/Christian: Red

[Pika Hikari KT]

Okay...where are my readers, nya? Oh well, here comes chapter 3!
-------------
Chapter 3: A Lesson to Learn, Part 1

After a week and a half hiatus on account of illness and Wrestlemania, KT got the chance to summon her cast again.

"Hey guys! I'm sure you enjoyed your little break..." That got a round of agreement from the wrestlers. KT continued, "...but that's gonna be your only one! Wrestlemania's a special occasion, and I'd feel awful if you weren't in tip-top shape for your matches. By the way, how are our new champs?"

"...That means round of applause, people!"

Mickie James(who was playing Sarafina) soaked in the cheering with her usual fangirlish enthusiasm, while Rey-rey simply held up his new big gold belt for everyone to see.^^ The authoress was glad that she had not picked JBL to be one of the characters, as he had a bigger ego than even Triple H(and that's big!).

"Now you guys go practice...I have something I need to do." Everyone went off their seperate ways in the auditorium, until two people were left: KT herself, and...a sulking Chavo Guerrero, who was in the front of the back rows.

Upon realizing Chavo's intention to quit wrestling, KT knew she had to do something fast. Apparently, Chavo still felt he was inferior to his uncle, even after Eddie's very untimely death. KT sighed as she went down from the stage and took a seat next to Chavo.

"Hey Chavito...listen, you really should go back on your decision. I know you felt you let Eddie-sama down, but that's no reason to quit." Chavo continued staring straight ahead, but flinched when he heard his uncle's name.

"You gotta realize you made a mistake." KT continued, "You shouldn't have gone for that Frog Splash...or at least executed it quicker. Besides, you're not the first one to have lost to Shelton. Remember when he got traded to Raw in the Draft two years ago and beat Triple H the week after?" KT beamed at the memory, but Chavo just sighed, not even giving the thought a chance.

Yikes--it's a good thing he didn't listen: The day of the draft, Trips had to face... Shaking it out of her head, the authoress tried to think of a new way to approach this...and quickly scratched out No Way Out '04, where Chavo won the Cruiserweight title in a tremendous bout with Rey Mysterio. She had to avoid mentioning Eddie, but still get the point across.

Then she smiled, and went to grab her backpack backstage. When KT came back with the purple camo monogrammed pack, she took out 3 things:

A blank sheet of paper. One of her books. A number 2 pencil.

"Um...want to play a little game, Chavo?" KT asked shyly. Chavo took notice, and was slightly confused at the friendly offer. A game? What's she on? ...Aw, what the hell. Not like it can change my mind. "Okay, let's do it."

KT started to draw something on the paper, with the book under it so she could draw properly. "I'm gonna draw one of the wrestlers in animé form, and you try to guess who it is." She finished the drawing, which showed someone with shoulder-length dark hair, and a long cloak. As if that wasn't a giveaway, it had evil slanted eyes and a scowl on its face.

"Ha! That's easy--look up!" Chuckling, KT looked up behind her for the answer--which was correct. "Hey, Taker!" The Deadman gave a slight smile up in the top box...uncharacteristic of him, but the authoress needed to give him some type of reaction!

"That's right! That was easy, but this one is a little tougher!" KT started drawing again. After a few minutes, she let out a sigh of content. Chavo looked at the new drawing: A cocky looking face, with spiky-like hair...but a tuft near the bangs and some of the hair went down long to his back.

"Hm...that is tough! But..." He looked at the mouth, which was curled into a confident yet cocky smirk. It looked too old to be Randy Orton so it had to be..."Christian?"

KT nodded. "Who'd you think it was; Orton?" Chavo laughed sheepishly at that, a little embarrassed. "This is actually my favorite design." KT said, "I combined CC's current haircut with his long one. And the tuft of hair for added cuteness." "O..kay."

"Last one, Chavito." Soft slanted eyes...dark spiky hair...highlights on the hair...no! Is it... KT noticed Chavo's worried expression, and shook her head. "It's not who you think, my friend."

She put in a few more details--two bangs, one much longer than the other...and a scar on the right eye. Then it became clear to him. "Is it...me?"

"Now you got it. You've gotten so fed up with upholding the Guerrero legacy...I think you've forgotten to be yourself. You may be Eddie's nephew, but I've always thought you were special nonetheless."

This caused Chavo's eyes to get kind of misty, but he quickly wiped the coming tears away. "Oh, damn. You're right...what was I thinking? I should've used the Gory Bomb..." Chavo's eyes looked like they were on fire as he got a huge grin on his face. "Look out everyone, cause Chavo's back! Viva la Ra--"

"Down boy." KT interrupted, which caused Chavo to fall over. "As much as I'd love for you to finish that sentence, you have to play Banzai. You did practice, right?" "Um...yeah." Chavo replied, sweatdropping slightly. "Let's go. ...And thanks for snapping me out of it, KT."

"No problémo, Chavito-san."

To Be Continued tomorrow!

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

(A Lesson to Learn, Part 1--Continued)

A few minutes later, KT met up with Rey near the wings of the stage.

"So, how'd it go?" Rey was looking rather worried...he admitted earlier he had been this way since last week. Being the Heavyweight champion now didn't help matters.

KT giggled. "I think I got him back to his senses...hopefully, he'll stay that way until he gets interviewed. Don't want anyone getting suspicious that little old me had a hand in this."

Mysterio blinked in confusion for a second, but then breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to lose one of his closest friends...and rivals!

"Oh, by the way Rey-rey...I made this for you." KT handed one of her sketchbook papers over to him.

It was of Rey himself--animéfied in the authoress' own style, of course--holding his new title belt. "Congrats. I knew you could do it, Rey-cha...er, Rey-san."

"Aw, that's so cute...gracias. Thank you."

KT blushed a bit...she wasn't used to having her work complimented. "At least that'll make you feel better after you get trampled by the World Tag champs."

"Wait, wha-?!" Before Rey could fully comprehend what the authoress just said, the young woman in question was running to the stage telling everyone to get ready for the next scene. "...That is one evil diva..."

Everyone got into their places for the Water Hole scene, and Shelley started taping.

"Action, nya!" With that, Taker started the video, and the next scene began.

Dominic runs halfway across the stage to three people: Lita, Mickie James/Sarafina, and KT/Young Nala. Mickie was all too happy to recieve the short role of Nala's mother when she read who Adult Nala would be. ...Yeah, that's a hint, people.

"Hey Nala." "Hi Simba."

After exchanging pleasantries, Dominic decides to get to the matter at hand. "Come on. I just heard about this great place."

There was just one problem...

"Simba! I'm kind of in the middle of a bath..."

It was too true: cats(even big ones like lions) give baths to their young by licking the kittens'/cubs' fur. Mickie had taken this to heart, and the authoress was not liking the position she was in.

"And it's time for yours." Lita chuckled as she scooped up the struggling young boy in her arms.

Being the heel that she is, Amy dunked(more like dropped) Dominic into a tubful of lukewarm water for his 'bath'(and Dominic never got out the line he was supposed to give: "Mom! ...Mom. You're messing up my mane!"). Both kids would later smack the Diva on the head for her actions.

Soaking wet and quite annoyed(Lita, on the other hand, smirked like an MFer) Dominic ruffled out his hair. "Okay, okay, I'm clean. Can we go now?"

"So where are we going?" KT asked, "It better not be anyplace dumb."

"No. It's really cool." Dominic denied.

This made Lita quite suspicious. "So where is this 'really cool' place?" Damn, I'm starting to sound like Carlito...

Dominic knew he had to pull something desperate to get out of this. "Uh... around the water hole."

"The water hole?" KT yelled, upset. "What's so great about the water hole?"

"I'll SHOW you when we GET there." Dominic whispered, as to not alert the adults.

KT realized Dominic must have a cool place to show her if he was lying to his mom. "Oh. Uh... Mom, can I go with Simba?" she asked.

"Hmm... What do you think, Sarabi?" Mickie asked. She wanted to make sure with the lioness in charge before letting her cub off on her own.

"Well..." Lita started.

It was then that KT and Dominic had to do something no adult could resist: puppy dog eyes.

"Pleeeease?" They were showing all of their sharp teeth as they smiled for an added persuasion. Cute, isn't it?

With that look, Lita just had to give in. "It's all right with me..."

That got the little cubs jumping for joy, until they got a HUGE catch:

"...As long as Zazu goes with you."

"Aw, crap." "No! Not Zazu!"
---------
Okay, I decided to make this part of the story a two parter. Kinda got sidetracked with Chavito, but it just adds to the story(and I needed to deal with him anyway). Since we have Spring Break now, I have all week to do a chapter or two.^_^

 

[cryztalwing]

heheh that is good. Maby you should think about adding the nWo and the wolfpack to it. Hollywood Hogan... any way good fic..

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

No nWo...the only former member that I guarantee will be in this fanfic is HBK, but by the time I get to that part of the story(about a couple of chapters from now), DX will most likely be back(just Shawn and Hunter though).XD

Here's the next chapter!
----------
Chapter 4: A Lesson to Learn, Part 2

"Ike, Flame!"

After the call was made from the authoress, she threw out a red and white Pokéball. It opened up; releasing the orange draconic Fire Pokémon known as Charizard. 'Flame', as he was called by his Trainer, awaited a command as the scorching hot flame on the tip of his long tail burned brightly...but he kept it levitated slightly so it wouldn't set the carpet aflame.

"Flame, could you warm Dominic here up? A certain Diva has just demonstrated that she never had any kids." The dragon chuckled at the insulting comment to one Amy Dumas as Dominic was beside himself with wonder. After all, this was a fictional creature...and a kickass dragon(that could live in THE VERY HEART OF A VOLCANO ITSELF if it wanted to!) at that!

Flame gave a thumbs/claws up to KT and did as it was told...playfully grabbing the young boy in a headlock! "Hey...let go!" Unfortunately, Dominic Mysterio was too busy laughing to be very serious.

Smiling, KT looked towards the redhead with a Taker-like death glare. Lita didn't look the least bit nervous...but in her mind, she was pretty scared! "Uh...hi."

"'Hi' indeed, Miss Dumas. You kinda do look like you took some outta Jeff's supposed stash."

At that, Lita flipped the bird. KT growled under her breath, and quickly thought up a comeback.

"It's a very good thing you won't be appearing again until the end. I'd love to start a female version of what happened last year."

Lita smirked. "No I won't," she said. "I'm returning after the stampede."

The authoress flinched--she'd forgotten about that! "Oops...guess I'll have to kick your butt then...later."

As KT walked away, she did a bad gesture of her own behind her back...certainly not the DX chop, that's for sure! Then they each muttered the same thing to themselves:

"Stupid b!tch..."

*****

KT was about to announce the next scene...but a new voice interrupted her.

"Kaitlin..." The voice growled.

The authoress sighed with annoyance and turned around...to face Samoa Joe. He was the biggest of the X Division contenders, and probably the fiercest on the entire TNA roster. But something surprised KT to no end--the X Title on his shoulder!

"Wha?! Joe, when-how--Oh god, you didn't!?" Along with shocked, KT was also a bit upset--last she checked, the X Division Champion was "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. She apparently didn't count on one thing...

"We taped the shows today. Got my belt back." This was two days before Impact began its new slot on Thursdays. Of course, Daniels had gotten beaten to Joe's point of death. He's not really one to care about honor and stuff like that; all that matters is winning--a real life Seto Kaiba, wouldn't you think?

"Now about that role you assigned me..." Joe started, "I'm not doing it."

"Ooh, lemme think on that..." KT sat down in a mock thinking position. "No. Sorry, but no dice." But I wouldn't be surprised if I end up in this predicament again.

"Fine. Excuse me while I go kill the leader of the Tag Champs..."

"The leader of the--OH NO! JOE, WE NEED THEM FOR THIS SCENE~!"

*****

Once things were finally settled, KT cued everyone to their places, and the next scene began.

"Step lively." Rey called, 'flying' overhead KT and Dominic. "The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave."

Below him, the kids were chatting. "So where we really going?" KT asked.

"An elephant graveyard."

"Wow!"

"Shhh! Zazu." Dominic pointed to his father to remind her.

"Right. So how are we going to ditch the dodo?" KT whispered, and the kids huddled for a plan. Rey overhears, and drops down lightly to comment.

"Oh, just look at you two!" Rey exclaims happily, "Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled..what with your being betrothed and all."

Of course, Dominic has no idea what that means. If she didn't have such an advanced vocabulary, neither would KT. "Be-what?"

"Betrothed. Intended. Affianced." Still pretty big words, Rey-rey...

"Meaning...?" KT asked in a 'get to the point' kind of way.

"One day, you two are going to be married!"

Since they are cubs, they hate the concept of marraige. "Yuck!" "Ewww."

Once they've gotten over the initial shock, Dominic decides to take over. "I can't marry her. She's my friend."

"Yeah. It'd be too weird." KT adds in.

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle-doves have no choice. It's a tradition going back generations." During the last line, Dominic imitates Rey in 'student to teacher' fashion(you know what I mean, seniors!).

"Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go." Dominic says a bit proudly. Cue the intro to a certain song...

[*CRASH*

WHAT THE *BEEP*?! I GO TO KARATE FOR AN HOUR AND SOME OF THE SCRIPT IS DELETED?! Urge to kill...rising... *furiously draws a doodle of Jerry Lawler getting his butt kicked by RVD* That'll teach him for ripping on Styles like that...like he should talk, nya...

Huh? Oh, hey. Sorry 'bout that. This is the narrator. Otherwise known as Katie in the real world. Let's get back with our regularly scheduled fanfic.^_^]

"Not so long as I'm around." Rey protests, offended.

"Well, in that case, you're fired." Dominic counters. Of course, he didn't say 'you're fired!' in the way the Chairman does it...safer that way, and Vince'd probably sue the poor kid.XD

"Hmmm... Nice try, but only the king can do that." Rey points out. He puts the punctuation mark on the sentence with a poke to Dominic's nose.

"Well, he's the future king..." KT reminds him.

"Yeah. So you have to do what I tell you." He slightly pushes his dad while he says this. Certainly not following the Golden Rule, are you, Domini-chan?

"Not yet I don't." Rey angrily replies, "And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed."

Dominic gives a bit of a cocky grin at this. "Hmph. Not the way I see it." CUE SINGING(as this is one of the most popular Disney songs, I'll forego the play-by-play and get straight to the song)!

I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair(Ooh, BURN!)...

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR!

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing...

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...

No one saying do this(Now when I said that, I-)
No one saying be there(What I meant was...)
No one saying stop that(Look, what you don't realize...)
No one saying see here(Now see here!)
Free to run around all day

Well, that's definitely out...

Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart

Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start...

If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about... What have I gotten myself into?;_;
This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

Not yet!

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling!

Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wa~it... to be king!

Once the song ends, poor Rey is being sat on by all five members of the Raw Tag Champs--the Spirit Squad! You can imagine the torture now, can't you?

Rey barely suceeds in getting his line out:

"I beg your pardon, you guys, but GET THE HELL OFF ME! ...Simba? Nala?"

KT smiled sadly at the punishment she made Rey go through(if he didn't mention Eddie-sama QUITE as much, he wouldn't have gotten this.). "You heard the champ, guys. Thanks for helping, Kenny."

Kenny(the member with the headband, and the leader) pouted a little that they had to get off, but regained his cheerleader spirit. "O-K! Let's go guys!"

As the champs left(stepping on Mysterio on the way, cause they're heels), KT called back to them. "You're being used for the stampede scene too, alright?" She didn't see them, but did hear a big cheer(probably being made up on the spot).

KT took a look at the clock--4:30! "Oh my god! We'll have to do the Graveyard scene next week, okay guys? At this rate, someone'll--"

"Who's in here?"

The new male voice startled the authoress and sent her into a panic, but then she heard the voice again. "Katie, that you?"

KT started breathing again. "Huh? Jesse? What are you doing here?"

Jesse Paulak was one of KT's classmates in school. The sophomore was a former wrestling fan, but was a bit interesting nonetheless. He supposedly had a few connections to the nearby army base, and his aunt was a police officer who made rounds at school...or so he said. KT never had the nerve to ask Officer Hettenger if it was true. Back to the auditorium...

"Gotta make the rounds with Jim, remember?" Jesse helped with the janitor duties after school...and actually liked it! Who'dve thunk?XD

"Oh yeah...well, there's a good explanation for what's happening here, Jess..." The authoress told him the basic story, and told him to keep it a secret. Jesse agreed, but on one condition.

"Can I watch the rest in the future? Like next week?"

"Fine. I was planning on trying an audience anyway. Bring Ryan along. I'll summon Kayli Bell and Ashley Brow. Well, see ya."

"Bye...wait. How're you going to get home?"

KT paled...she didn't think of it. Then a lightbulb flashed above her head...oh, wait--that was Alex Shelley making a one-second cameo. She sweetly called for one person.

"Oh, Taker~!"

The Deadman flinched as he put the Lion King DVD back in its case. This is going to be a long night...
_________________
I'm putting up the next chapter tomorrow, now that the Lion King site I use is back online(that's why I took so long--I didn't have a good script to have access to!).

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

Next chapter!
----------
Chapter 5: A Lesson to Learn, Part 3

A week later after school, KT headed to the auditorium. With her were Jesse, who'd brought along Ryan Blackwell. Ryan was somewhat interested in what was going on...when he was in the mood. He was a Junior, but he wasn't quite as smart as KT was 3/4ths of the time. Ry also had a habit of annoying those around him by accident, and had a PS2(the authoress was very Nintendo loyal since she had gotten her Gamecube).

"So, how did you actually do this?" Ryan asked, a little dimwitted after what KT had explained.

"Uh..." A sweatdrop raced down KT's head as she tried to come up with a good excuse. The problem was, for once...

She couldn't.

"Um, race ya there!"

"Fine, you're on!"

*****

Once they got there, KT summoned the 5 wrestlers for the scene, along with Dominic; which definitely amazed her classmates. She told the teens to sit wherever when she summoned her two best female friends, Ashley(a super-nice Junior who was actually blind...but a orange belt in karaté!) and Kayli(this Senior had many of the same interests as KT, like animé).

"Okay, everyone ready?" KT called. Her friends had chosen to sit a few rows from the front, and in the middle...except for Ash, who felt her way to the front row to hear better. They politely applauded to let her start.

The authoress nodded at Taker and Shelley, who started their things. "Action~!"

The Graveyard scene started with KT and Dominic advancing towards their destination after punking out Rey-rey.

"All right, it worked!" Dominic cheered.

"We lost him." KT noted with a smile.

Then Dominic got a bit arrogant. "I...am a genius."

"Hey, Genius, it was my idea." KT growled.

"Yeah, but I pulled it off." Uh-oh...

"With me!"

"Oh yeah?" Dominic growls fiercely as he prepares to pounce. *ahem* CATFI~GHT!

After the tussle, KT ends up on top with a thump...just like they practiced. "Ha. Pinned ya." She giggles.

"Hey, lemme up..." Dominic meant this...I mean, he was only a preteen!

KT slowly backed off...but Dominic leaped on her again! Again, KT pins him hard. She decides to make it cooler, and crosses his arms--a Darkness Pin. In the top box, Undertaker adjusts his hat so the viewers don't see him blush out of embarassment.

"Pinned ya again." KT says in a 'I told you so' kind of way.

They're suddenly interrupted by a burst of steam. The kids turn at the movie screen to check their surroundings, which is very dark and surrounded by skeletons of elephants. Sure enough, this is what Christian was talking about.

"This is it. We made it." Dominic says in awe. They walk a bit further and find a large skull of a male elephant.

"It's really creepy." KT says, referring to the graveyard.

"Yeah...isn't it great?" Dominic replies with a triumphant smile.

"We could get in big trouble..." KT comments, enjoying how far she's come.

"I know..." Dominic chuckles.

KT looks up at the gigantic skull. "I wonder if its brains are still in there." She says in wonder.

Dominic takes that to heart, and walks toward it. "There's only one way to know. Come on. Let's go check it out."

"WRONG!"

Yikes--It's Rey-rey! Apparently having regained conciousness so soon after the last segment(and his last match), he now blocks the cubs' way after using his launch pad(don't ask).

"The only 'checking out' you will do will be to check out of here." Rey quips. Someone get a PUNisher, quickly!

"Aw, man." Dominic pouts.

"We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands." Rey comments, scared.

"Look. Banana Beak is scared." Dominic teases.

Rey gets angry at this. "That's Mr. Banana Beak to you, fuzzy. And right now we are all in very real danger."

Dominic confidently smiles and moves closer to the middle of the screen.

"Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!"

This is immediately followed by fiendish laughter that echoes even more than it should. Dominic understandibly gets freaked out and runs to hide behind his dad(aw~).

The hyenas come out from behind the curtains. Victoria, the tough fighting Diva playing Shenzi, is in the lead. "Well, well, well, Banzai. What have we got here?"

Chavito, playing Banzai, is next. "Hmm...I don't know, Shenzi. Uh...what do you think, Ed?"

And last, slowly coming out from behind...playing Ed, Samoa Joe. "Ha. Ha-ha."

Alex Shelley can barely hold in his laughter, and everyone else has a nice chuckle(except Ashley, who couldn't see what was happening...poor girl) at the X Champ's expense. Joe gives everyone a death glare to get them to shut up...mostly.

Chavo then gets on with his line. "Yeah, just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers!"

"And quite by accident, let me assure you. A simple navigational error..." Rey said, wanting desperately not to be hyena food.

"Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait...I know you." Victoria interrupts, peering at the Heavyweight Champion, "You're Mufasa's little stooge!"

This gets Rey a little ticked. "I, madam, am the king's majordomo." Majordomo is another word for advisor.^^

Chavo then looks at Dominic. "And that would make you...?"

"The future king."

Vicky gets an evil look on her face when she hear this. "Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?"

Dominic snorts at the diva. "You can't do anything to me."

"Uhh... technically, they can." Rey points out nervously, "We are on their land."

Then Dominic says something that he really should not have said. "But Zazu, you told me they're nothing but slobbering mangy stupid poachers."

Panicing, Rey tries a little pig latin to confuse the heel trio. "Ix-nay on the oopid-stay..."

Chavo figures this out immediately. "Who you callin' 'oopid-stay?!?'"

"My, my, my. Look at the sun--It's time to go!" Rey says hurriedly while pushing the kids out.

Victoria runs in front of them with a forced smile. "What's the hurry? We'd lo~ve you to stick around for dinner."

"Yeah!" Chavo agrees, "We could have whatever's... 'lion' around!" PUNisher, PUNisher for Mr. Chavo Guerrero at Scene 9!

While the heels are laughing at their own bad joke, Victoria follows up. "Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one. Make mine a 'cub' sandwich!"

While the two are having a great time, Joe's eyes follow something. He then taps Victoria on the back hard to get her attention, causing her to get annoyed.

"What? Joe, what is it?"

Chavo looks at where Joe's carelessly pointing. "Hey, did we order this dinner to go?"

"No. Why?"

"'Cause there it goes!" Sure enough, while Chavito and Vicky were joking, the kids and the Heavyweight Champ managed to slink away...okay, maybe not Rey.

Back to KT and Dominic, they stop, exausted. "Did we lose 'em?" KT asks.

"I think so..." Dominic then notices something--his dad was nowhere in sight! "Where's Zazu?"

Where's Rey-rey? Back with the heels, and forcibly being dragged towards his launch pad. "And the little majordomo bird hippity-hopped all the way to the birdie-boiler!" Sorry 'bout this, Rey...

Rey closed his eyes in anticipation... "Oh no--Not the birdie-boiler...!" He yells before the launch pad springs him to the bottom of the stage. Joe manages to smirk a bit as they watch him fly.

"Hey! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" Dominic yells a few feet away, having backtracked.

"Like...you?"

"Oh, crud."

The chase is on! Taker dims the lights almost completely for this and tries working the spotlights. This makes for the mandatory scary animated Disney movie moment(but the ending is scary, too).XD Dominic even ends up scratching Victoria with his non-existant claws(or nails) to protect KT. In the end, the kids are in a dead end with nowhere to go.

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..."

Dominic decides to try his hand at a big lion roar. Unfortunately, he's still a cub and doesn't have the voice box for it yet.

"Oo-hoo...that was it?" Victoria teases, laughing. "Do it again...come on."

Domic prepares to roar again, but is muted by the sound of an adult lion roar! This actually came from KT(surprise, huh?), but it was enough to distract the hyenas from what would come next...

SPEAR, b!tch! Edge is here, and he takes out Chavo and Vicky with ease. He gives Joe a low blow and towers over them, looking FURIOUS.

"Oh, please, please. Uncle. Uncle." Victoria begs.

"Silence!"

"Calm down. We're really sorry." Victoria starts.

"If you ever come near my son again..." Edge warns.

"Oh, your son?" Chavo asks.

"Did you know that?"

"No... me? I-I-I didn't know it. No. Did you?"

"No! Of course not."

"Ed?"

Joe sighs, and slowly nods yes. He immediately runs...well, limps to the back afterwards.

As for the others, well if looks could kill...KT helps fill in for another roar. That sends the others running.

Rey runs back out and nods at Edge, but a death glare has him flinch out of fear.

Dominic goes up to Edge. "Dad, I..."

"You deliberately disobeyed me."

"Dad, I'm...I'm sorry." Dominic apologizes.

"Let's go home." Edge says sternly, and so they did.

As they walked out of the graveyard, KT whspers something to Dominic: "I thought you were very brave."

Little did anyone know, Christian was hiding in the curtain watching them. Ryan waved hi to him when he realized this, causing CC to give him a thumbs up.

A scene change later, they're walking in the savannah. Edge calls for Rey loudly.

"Yes, sire?"

"Take Nala home. I've got to teach my son a lesson." Over to the cubs, Dominic tries hiding in the grass when he hears Edge mention him.

Rey runs to the cubs. "Come, Nala. Dominic...good luck, son." He hugs Dominic and leads KT backstage.

"Simba!"

Dominic turns around and prepares to face the enevitable. As he walks, he slowly gets depressed about what he's gotten himself into. He finally comes to a stop in front of Edge. The former Mr. Money in the Bank pauses to gather his thoughts, then turns to face Dominic.

"Simba, I'm very disappointed in you." Edge starts, a bit sternly.

"I know..." Dominic replies quietly.

Hearing this, Edge continues. "You could have been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me. And what's worse, you put Nala in danger!" Nearly killing your best friend without knowing it, talk about harsh.

"I was just trying to be brave like you." Dominic barely whispers, starting to cry.

"I'm only brave when I have to be." Edge corrects. "Simba...being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."

"But you're not scared of anything." Dominic kinda has a point here--after all, his dad's his role model.

"...I was today." Edge admits.

"You were?" Dominic asks, not believing his ears.

"Yes..." Edge bends down to meet his eye. " I thought I might lose you." Aw...

"Oh." Dominic now realizes that this is a dog-eat-dog world more than ever, especially when you're an adventurous lion cub. He lightens up slightly. "I guess even kings get scared, huh?"

Edge nods his head, smiling. He's happy that the child has learned his lesson.

"But you know what?" Dominic whispers.

"What?"

"I think those hyenas were even scareder." What is he, 9 or 3? Nonetheless, it gets a chuckle out of Edge. He probably has a kid waiting back home, too.

"'Cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here, you...!" Cue playful tussle(complete with noogie!)! They chase each other around until Dominic's on top of Edge...NOT IN THAT WAY, SICKOS! Eww! Taker dims the lights halfway at KT's nod at the wings.

"Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Not you, dad; Edge!"

"Sorry, Dom..." Three seconds later, Lightning thwacked Rey on the head with her tail.

Edge looked confused for a sec, but looked up at Dominic anyway.

"We're pals, right?"

Edge gives a gentle smile. "Right."

"And we'll always be together, right?" I'm afraid those are famous last words...Fox and the Hound, anyone?

Edge sits up and puts Dominic on his shoulder. "Simba...let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars."

"Really?"

"Yes..." Edge confirms, "So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you..."

"And so will I."

"Okay, we're done for today!" KT yelled. The small audience clapped just to be polite, even though the girls didn't like pro wrestling that much. The guys took a small bow, and KT continued...

"We'll be doing 'Be Prepared' up to Timon and Pumbaa's intro next week. Better start practicing, Jay-jay!" KT teases--'Be Prepared' was Scar's solo!

"Damn...can't Calloway do the song?! At least he's evil..."

"Not on your life, Jason Reso." Taker dully said as he walked down the stairs.

"Well, it was worth a shot. Okay Kate, bring us back." Christian ordered.

"Not just yet...you guys have a few autographs to do." At that, KT motioned for the boys to come.

The wrestlers sighed in unison. "Damn it..."
