((This rp is about the fight that leads up to Mufasa's death. I didn't advertise it because I thought it might offend or upset some people. If violence upsets you please keep in mind that this is a very violent rp, that will lead to the death of another. Please keep this in mind before reading on. ))
-The little cub has slipped out of her den once again, ior pelt giving a ghostly glow in the moonlight. After the trip with her near twin to the wateringhole.. the outdoors in the dark didn't seem so scary, so Xu skipped along quite happily, tracing the trail of her insomnia.
Further and further she slipped from priderock and the safety of he den, too consumed in the excitement of the silent and magic world about her. The night was like her wonderland. She was but a star fallen from the sky.-

His pale coat made him stand out in the waxing moon, it's bright ghostly light casting upon his body highlighting every curve of every mucle. Night time, it was a good time to stalk the more populated lands. The pride lands would one day be a place wheer he wouldn't worry about waling. He would stalk in and take what ever he wanted without fear of reprisal. Of course for now the salmon tinted male wasn't so foolish as to appear on their borders in broad day light. Scouting in the eerie light of the full moon though, that was another thing entirely.
The crystaline waters of the watering hole swam in to his view and the thick set male slipped up to take a drink. Lapping his fill the dark maned king peered out over the green savannah only to notice an odd shape moving about. Concentrating upon the spot his honey glazed orbs fixed upon a lone cub. Excellent. Laying down he quietly slipped in to the grass. It seemed this scouting mission was about to become a recruitment.
He slipped forwards, the grasses lapping against his sides a smirk highlighting those pearly coloured fangs which flashed beneath white furred lips. He could see her now, smell her fur, a single pounce and she would be his, paitence, just a few steps closer, just a few steps..

-Ahhh the watering hole was getting awfully close, her eyes could make out the soft outline of the tiny trees that lined it in the dark. Maybe she'd stop for a drink? Not for long though, she had so much to try and see before the sun touched the sky and mom woke up. She already knew quite well just how her mother would feel if she knew she was out playing in the dark again.
Bounding along on ivory paws, Xu giggled softly with joy, not even noticing the approaching danger in the distance. She was a cub after all, what'd she know about 'mean' ole lions that prowled around in the darkness-

This was too easy. The large pale male circled around behind the little cub before showing himself, he stood tall, his shoulder mucles bunched, his golden orbs bright, a smirk lining his lips "Out a little late arn't we?" he whispers his voice a rough, quiet growl. A pink tongue licked out over white lips as he slipped towards the little femme. He had cut off the route she had come, this would be easy, how foolish cubs around here where, they walked about in the dark as if the world was their oyster. He'd make sure this one never thought that again. Her world was HIS.
With a single lash of his tail he dove at the pale pridelander his jaws spread ready to take the female and carry her to a safe distance away from here. He would be away before the sun even kissed the horizon. "You're mine now."

-The growl rippling through the air lifted Xu's ears up, and she turned looking for the sound, suddenly wondering if her coming out and straying so far had been a bad idea.
And her eyes settled on the form just as he leapt, eyes widening nearly three times their size as she tried to move. But it was too late. Her legs were too tiny to pull her far away fast enough, thought she tried diligantly. A shriek sounding across the silent savannah.-
-In the distance the old king sat resting in the grass, eyes pointed upwards at the stars that speckled the sky. Ancestors.. kings of the past? He wondered if queens were there too. They must be... Or atleast, after his daughter they would be.
Tail flicking gently back and forth he mused over thoughts of little consequence, before he lifted himself once again to move along in his nightly task. Usually he didn't stir until closer to dawn, but he was restless tonight.
The sounds of the lone scream in the darkness lifted his ears and turned his body instinctively to the sound, heart fluttering in surprise. Was it.. someone hunting? That was possible.. but it was so late? There wasn't much game in that. Turning gently towards the sound be began to carry himself at a soft trot. It wouldn't hurt to check it out.-

Nyekundu held the cub in his jaws lightly, he twitched his head oce hoping to knock the noisey thing unconcious. Hopfully her catterwauling hadn't awakened the pride. It would not do to be followed by this damned lot. Growling under his breath as he held the pale cub tightly in his jaws he turned to go only to notice a silloette of anothe rlion close by. Damnit, He'd ahve to deal with this one to make sure he wasn't followed. Barring his fangs around the cub his lips curned in to a sneer as he dropped the little white bundle unceremoniously placing a claw over her back, just incase she hadn't been rendered unconcious by his whipping head.
Peering through the darkness the golden eyed king of the oasis picked out the form of anotehr male lion, he was clearly old, he smelld of the dust of ages. His tail lashed and those honey glazed orbs narrowed as the ageing king approached. He wasn't about to let this oppertunity slide. This old geezer was the only thing between him and a new, rather pretty young slave.

-As soon as her little body was pressed between firm teeth she began to wriggle, pawing incesentally as she tried to escape. She didn't understand what was going on! Why was he hurting her!? What was he going to do to her? Where was her mommy and daddy.
Silent tears streamed down the cubs face and she tried uselessly to dig claws into the maw of her capture, speaking a soft whisper of words, all she could manage with that pressure against her chest.- "Doooon't. Mommy and daddy are going to be angry if I'm not home by morning."
-And then suddenly she was being whipped around, feeling the world shake and waver, her head snapping back and forth until everything was dizzy. And then she was dropped, landing on the ground, just barely concious though the world spun in such a way that she could not move held beneath that powerful paw.-
-The sounds had died, assuring his original guess that it was nothing more then a late night hunt. And as a ghostly figure appeared in the distance the king trotted naively forward, his familar smile touching his maw, calling out in soft greeting.- "Hello there. Out for a drink?"
-But as his massive golden paws drew him closer his expression began to change. The aggresive stance of the lion... the tiny little body tucked beneath his paw. It could be his own cub.. but that wasn't a loving hold. Something was going on, and his voice quickly gained the need seriousness.- "What do you think you're doing?"

Nyekundu laughed, the laugh was cold, dark, filled with a miniacle intent. "Yes old man though it's not water I desire." He licked his lips his claws unsheathing over the cub he held at his paws. Noone would know of this meeting he would escape with this cub all he had to do wass take one old codger and make sure he didn't go crawling back to warn the pride.
His dark tipped tail lashed once as he eyed the old king "Your name old man, I don't usually kill a male unless I have his name on my lips." Thick shoulders tenced as he stood there, he was clarly putting more pressure on the cub beneath his paw. She wasn't out of it yet, though he supposed she would be injured enough for her not to go any where. Releasing his weight slowly he stepped towards the golden, brown maned male, circling slowly. The escape route would be blocked, he wasn't allowing this old git to go squeeling.
The golden eyed male took a quick glimpse at the tiny pale cub, well, traumatising the brat would no doubt make her more compliant to him. Excellent. His shoulders moved and tenced, he was ready to pounce, his mind set on kill, on taste. The blood of another lion was a sweet, sensious thing, he hadn't done it all that often, to kill ones own kind was some what pointless, he wanted them to ally with him, but this male, though old, would certainly be a fun game.

-The world was dark to the cub, colors swimming before her eyes as the breath pressed from her lungs. Mommmyyy... Dadddy.. Jing.. Her family flashed through her mind and very little else, until finally the paw lifted.
Air wheezed back in her lungs, and she attempted to curl up, though her body wouldn't let her. Instead laying silent for the time being, eyes squeezed shut in fear.-
-His eyes widened, ears lifted, and finally as the last of the words slipped from the dark male's mouth his fur bristled. Kill? Whether or not the cub was his this lion was a demon. Something he wouldn't allow in HIS Pridelands. Growl rumbling through his old frame he quickly joined the other male in a threatening stance.- "Mufasa. And you've come to the wrong place son. I don't allow your kind of trash in my kingdom."
-Following the males pace he continued to walk, trying hard to put himself between the male and the cub. He had no intentions of leaveing. Even with the cub... not until this demon had run off or lay with blood spilling across the golden savannah. He may not have been young.. his muscles beginning to deteriorate over the years, but he had size over the other male, and by now the adreniline was pumping courseing through his veins.
Unsheathing his claws, he roared.- "Leave now or you may not be leaving at all."

Nyekundu tossed his head back and laughed. He needed to utter no more words. This, old thing, was a king? How was he still living? His reletives were clearly weak, no old codger would ever rule his pride, even he knew that, ambition was everything. Without another moments hesitation the salmon tinted lord leapt his dark claws unsheathing from shadowy toes, his fangs flashing pale in the moonlight, stained red long ago from the creatures he had kulled for fun, for food, for sport.
"It is your life in MY claws old man" he roard catching Mufasa easily on the shoulder with those sharpened claws. Nyekundu may have been a smaller lion than most, but training, constant training had made him solid as a rock, he was strong, agile, fearless, he almost beleived himself immortal. Almost, he knew he could be hurt, but this old male was no threat, Mufasas blood would stain the savannah red before he was finished, that little gash was just the start.
The dark maned king turned swiftly to face Mufasa once again, waiting for the old one to react, he lifted the claw he had just gouged at the shoulder with and licked his toes, "first blood king of the pridelands, only one of us will die, and I'm not due to meet my maker yet"

-Oblivious to the world around her, though sounds caused her ears to flick instinctively towards them, a soft mewl her only reply to the battle about to occur.-
-The taunts meant nothing to the king, ears pressed back against his head as a look of rage stained his feature. A snarl that hadn't be unleashed for years tugging at his maw. He swatted out as the male leapt near, missing, and catching the claws of the demon in his shoulder. Pained roar slipped into the air and he withdrew for only a moment before he bounded towards the other. He might be fast.. but that didn't matter if he was pinned under the king's weight.
He had no words for the demon, simply anger, and he barreled towards him, claws extended.-

Nyekundu was no fool to stand and be pinned by the old king. His golden eyes flashed that manic red. Rather than standing and receiving Nyekundu ducked rolling on his back as the old king leapt. he raked at Mufasas belly rolling away swiftly before the golden lion landed. He smirked, this was fun, this old guy might have been top dog once, but now he was just a doddering fool. He clearly wasn't up to a fight. Looking to his four paws now he admired the blood that stained his own belly. It wasn't his own though, it made it so much more delicious. "You're a king?" He smirked "Clearly it was handed down to you." he laughed again, he only paused for a further second before charging, he wanted a peice of this king in his jaws. He headed again for the same shoulder he had already torn. His muzzle widened, he had four things to do, incapacitate, take a trophy, mark and kill. Yes, he liked that order, to cause pain was nyeks main love in the world, he would see this supposed king suffer dearly for challanging him.

-The words stung nearly as much as the dripping wounds that lined the underside of his stomach, but he quickly picked himself up, trying to ignore them. He'd been quite the fighter in his day.. but his days had long past, lulled into soft security by his peaceful lands. These lands weren't a place for fights, it was his dream, but now it seemed it might also be his downfall.- "Your words only show how stupid you really are. It doesn't take physical strength to be a king."
-As jaws locked hard on his shoulder another sound of pain escaped the golden king, instinctively slamming a golden paw into the mane and neck of the demon, raking hard through the skin in an attempt to get him off. The pain was sharp and shocking, but he wasn't going to let go until the other did.-

As the golden lord raked at his own mane he felt claws peirce his neck menath the black fur, he growled and pulled. his fangs broke away with a large bloody shluck, Nyek snarled his mouth dripping with gore now a peice of mufasa's shoulder dangling from his fangs, he smirked his lips curling in a sneer as he tossed the chunk away from himself, licking his fangs, his eyes danced manically, the scent of iron filled the air, blood lined his mouth and dripped down his chin staining the ground at his paws a dark red. He laighed watching the shoulder he had just torn happily.
He was enjoying this, and why shouldn't he? he was about to kill this so called 'king' "stretngth is everything, without it we are just slaves" pouncing again he shifted his weight to buffet at Mufasa's other shoulder, hoping to knock him in to the dirt and tear at his belly. He wouldn't kill the old king yet, oh no, there was much to be done before that happened, but pulling the flesh from the elderly lions belly would incapacitate him enough to make his tortures possible.

-Another pained roar escaped the king the stinging pain becoming excruciating. It throbbed, sending a splatter of colors before his eyes, but in the corner he could still see the little speck of white in the distance. Not matter how much it hurt.. his pride was at stake. The safety and security. The homes and children of those he'd promised so many times to protect. He just needed to push the monster away.
As the demon pounced again, he cringed against the pain of the weight put upon his shoulder, biting hard into whatever he could grab, before letting himself he pushed over. On three legs he was worthless.. but now that he was on the ground he could use his back legs to his advantage. And as the demon try to get at the delicate skin of his belly, he kicked, and hard at whatever he could hit, his jaws locked to keep the other male from escaping.-
She'd first heard the commotion when Mufasa's roar split the peace of the night.
The mother, who had been lightly sleeping until then, having drifted off despite her efforts to look after their youngest daughter, startled awake instantly alert. A panicked sweep of the den confirmed her fears, and she quickly detangled from the pile of bodies that the family created, bounding out into the night on the trail of Xu Wu Hui's scent. Nothing could've prepared her for the horrific sight she found upon her arrival. Mufasa was facing off against a great white beast, his black mane and salmon stripe emblazing into Ausi's memory on sight. He seemed very much like a demon posessed, and caused her heart to clench tightly in dread and fear. Where was her baby? Had this monster hurt her??
Still a bit panicked, Ausi's eyes scanned the whole area over, finally spotting the figure of her daughter, and while the males were still occupied she darted past them and looked Xu's small form over for injury, mind and voice frantic with concern.
"Xu, Xu! Are you alright?"
-Slowly the air was slipping back into the cub, the blood in her body beginning to warm and awaken the young one from the shake the demon had given her. But it was one sound that openned her eyes finally, trying hard to focus on the familiar black female crouched before her.
She had no real injuries, thankfully the male had been interested in keeping her alive and well, but nearly silent tears poured from her anyway, followed by words softened by the stress.- "Momma! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I went out to play."
She was so relieved, she was careful in drawing Xu closer with her paw placing reassuring licks to the top of her head to soothe her.
"It's alright Xu, it's alright, I'm here."
Her eyes then traveled back towards the fight, which was quickly becoming violent. Ausi was torn, not wanting to abandon Mufasa, but realizing that they were in danger as long as they stayed there.
She took Xu carefully in her jaws. She had to try to get help, but first she had to make sure Xu was someplace safe.
She headed off quickly in the direction of Pride Rock.
