Darren lands in the Gorge and roars. "Where are you Striker?" He growls. He then looks down and finds himself as a Lion. His fur was a dark brown. He growls again, before running out, looking for Axel.

Axel lands inside the elephant graveyard himself he finds that he's a lion with grayish fur matching his hair as a human "sweet, hmmmm."he looks around"I guess I'll go find Simba" he takes off running towards Pride Rock

Darren see's Axel, and smirks.

---

Simba looks out to the land from Pride Rock, watching. Nala comes up behind him. "Is something wrong Simba?" She asks.

"I just have a bad feeling, that's all." He says, still looking out.

Axel steps up onto Pride Rock "hey Simba, long time on see"

"Hey Axel." Simba says. "Are the heartless acting up again?"

---

Having lost Axel, Darren wanders around looking for him. Eventually, hea heads to Pride Rock.

Axel shakes his head "it's a long story but i'll tell you later just watch out for Darren he's not on our side anymore"

Simba nods. "Got it." He says. "Nala go find Kiara and Kovu. Tell them to keep a look-out."

"No one is going anywhere Simba." Darren says, approaching.

Simba growls, as does Nala. The other lionesses appear and surrond Darren, growling. Darren smirks. He lunges at one lioness, and they fight each other.

"Axel go on, we'll take care of him." Simba says,standing infront of Darren.

Axel shakes his head "no i'll help, this isn't your fight"

"Everone inside." Nala says, and runs into the Kings Den, along with everyone else but Simba.

"I've got your back." Simba says.

Darren lunges at Axel. "Where is she striker? I know you're hiding her!"

Axel lashes out with his claw"i will never tell you Darren"

Darren quickly avoids Axel's slash. "You'll regret that." He says, before attacking again.

Axel roars and then jumps on Darren's back and bites down on his neck" Leave Mariya alone!"

(Warned for godmodding)

Simba roars and leaps over the two, crashing into two black-and-white cloaked figures, who had been attempting to attack Axel.

Darren throws off Axel, and laughs. "You know, I find it funny your defending the woman who will never forgive you for tearing her heart in half. But no matter. The two of you search the entire world for Mariya." He orders to the cloaked figures.

The two cloaked figures retreat from Simba, and Simba chases them.

Axel steps back "you know nothing....."he attacks Darren ravagely

"Oh I know more then enough." Darren says, after dodging. "After you broke her heart, she was either locked in her room or with me, crying. She was so miserable. She would cringe at your very name. Sora made sure no one mentioned you arround her. You hurt her, and she'll never forgive you for that."

"I had my reasons, you wouldn't understand what I went through. And last I checked you aren't any better then me"Axel remarks

"That doesn't change the fact that deep inside, she hates you for what you have done." Darren says, smirking. "If you don't believe me, ask her yourself."

Axel shakes his head "you wont get to me Darren and I'll never give you mariya even if it cost me my life"

"So be it then." Darren says before lunging at Axel, claws ready to slash.

Axel jumps back and retaliates with a quick slash

Darren is hit, but seems uneffected. Flying Dragon appears in his mouth and he slashes at Axel with it, aiming for his leg and side.

Axel summons his sword and parries Darrens attack

darren attacks again, this time increasing his speed.

Axel jumps back to dodge

Darren stops as the two cloaked figures appear. "Well?" He asks, dropping his sword. He watches Axel in the corner of his eye.

The Cloaks just...float there, as if they refused to answer. "She is not here?" Darren asks, surprised. He turns to Axel. "Deceiver!" He shouts. He picks up his sword, and his gummi ship appears below the legde of Pride Rock. "I shall find her!" He shouts, running and jumping inside it. The cloaked figures follow. Once the hatch closes it takes off.

{Darren to Twilight Town}

Simba arrives, limping. His front paw was injured. "Wherever Mariya is, I sujest you go there. He's probably going to his headquarters to track her down."

Axel nods and hops in his gummi ship before he leaves he calls Sora "he knows Mariya's not with me and i might be followed if i go to her directly so i'll return shortly and then go and meet her if thats ok with you"

Sora doesn't answer for a bit. "Alright, but don't linger long." He says, before hanging up.

Axel sighs and takes off

Axel to {Radient Garden}
