In the wild of the Outlands, Hyenas were among the most bountiful species found. These animals were notorious for being the clean -up crews of the Savanna. Many believes these animals to be cold-hearted, selfish scavengers.

And for a while, they were right. Hyenas were never exactly given the freshest of resumes when regarding the past of the Pridelands. Long ago, these animals were remembered as intruders who repeatedly made war with the Lions of this prosperous kingdom.

Now the Lions were not happy that the hyenas kept trying to steal their food, and were always there to run them out. Every Lion in the Pridelands hated these creatures with a boundless desire.

All but one.

Scar.

The former leader of the Lion Guard, protectors of the Pridelands, had long wanted to seize the throne from his older brother Mufasa for wronging him. When asking his guard to assist in his acts, they refused. So Scar used his power to blow them from his sight, and from the world of the living. But this action was his undoing, as the power inside of his was extracted from his soul forever.

Now, he was just a weak, hollow shadow of his former self. But his passion for the Throne still lingered on in his mind. And so, with a far superior mind now, he made an alliance with the Hyenas of the neighboring Elephant Graveyard to gain that title.

Alas, he was successful.

With Mufasa gone, the age of Scar had begun. The Hyenas ravaged the lands, killing every animal they came across. The land grew barren and desolate. But when the long lost son Simba returned, Scar became desperate. He was so desperate that he pinned the blame of Mufasa's murder on the Hyenas.

Regardless, it all came crashing down for him. When over thrown by his nephew, Scar was cornered by his former henchmen. It was like being surrounded by demons in the fiery pits of hell. When the fires were doused by the rain, the Hyenas were chased out by an angry Simba, never to be seen or heard from again.

But these were different times. Times in which the evil ghost of the wicked lion in question was summoned by otherworldly powers and re-initiated his plan to take the Pridelands. But this plan, too, had gone sour. Thanks to the untimely redemption of a Hyena named Janja, who gave I formation on how to defeat Scar.

Yes sir, this was a new Africa. Hyenas no longer attacked the Pridelands. They spent their days in the Outlands, waiting for their neighbors to drop the leftovers of their latest kills into their territory. Such was their lot in life. Yes, Janja was pleased with his new lifestyle.

Well, there was one other thing he was pleased with.

Make that two.

The first one being that his long lost brother, Tombie, which was born, shall we say, different, had finally showed up since Janja got him lost in the Jungle as cubs. Now, the two had made amends and were happily reunited.

Second, and just as joyous, Janja had become closer than ever to Jasiri, a female hyena that he had once been at odds with.

And them being closer brought together two other souls. Madoa, Jasiri's sister, had fallen in love with Tombie. And it was not too much long after that the two decided to settle down and start their own family.

And it was this specific hyena Male who was walking through the Outlands with some leftovers he had received from the Pridelanders. His red fur was aided by black stripes and a flowing white mane.

He entered his den where he saw his mate lying on her side. And he knew she was not alone. Four small bodies were seen shifting around and whimpering.

"Hey honey," Tombie greeted her. "I got us some dinner!"

"Thank you, Tombie." Madoa smiled as she licked him. "How were the Pridelanders today?"

"Nothing to complain about," Tombie shrugged. "Ever since the Outsiders joined the Pridelanders again, Vitani's been running things pretty smoothly."

But little did the two Hyenas know, that things on the Pridelands were about to make an unexpected change. Part of it good, and part of it not so much.

Either way, things would soon change for everyone.

Guess who's back? ^^ Just by reading the description, you may already know what some of this change is. Anyways, in case you're wondering, this is a much different canon from my past Trilogy. Stay safe, and have a good day
