Jessup: "Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!" Alan Rickman: "When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me 'After all this time?' And I will say, 'Always.'" Assassin's Creed: Black Flag - Edward Kenway: "For years, I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am...with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. Yet when I turn around, and look at the course I've run...here's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me." Avatar: The Last Airbender - Iroh: "It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are YOU? And what do YOU want?" Bible - Isaiah 5:20: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter." President Calvin Coolidge: "Nations which are torn by dissension and discord, which are weak and inefficient at home, have little standing or influence abroad. Even the blind do not chose the blind to lead them." Courage The Cowardly Dog - Fish: "There's no such thing as 'perfect'. You're beautiful as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections, you can do anything." Dinosaur - Baylene: "We're HERE, aren't we? And how DARE you waste that good fortune by simply giving up? Shame on you. Shame on you, SHAME on you! The worst of it is, you allowed an old fool like me to believe I was needed...that I still had a purpose. And do you know what? You were right. And I'm going to go on believing it. And I, for one, am not going to die here!" President Donald Trump: "When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice." President Donald Trump (October 2, 2017): "Our unity cannot be shattered by evil. Our bonds cannot be broken with violence. And though we feel such anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love that defines us today - and always will. Forever." Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Paarthurnax: "What is better? To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Freakazoid: "NOOOOOOO!!! GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAT WATCH! LAY OFF THE POOR BEAVERS, WILL YA?! SHEEEESH!!! YOU'RE A CREEP! GO AWAY! WE WERE ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP, JEEPERS! UUUUUUUUGH!!! GO HAVE SOME COFFEE WITH CREAM OR SOMETHING! BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING: THIS IS A HAPPY PLACE!" Futurama - Bender: "The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that. Is. Irony." Game Of Thrones - Tyrion Lannister: "When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar. You're only telling the world that you fear what he might say." Garfield: "An imagination is a powerful tool. It can tint memories of the past, shade perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselves today."

Hey Arnold - Pigeon Man: "Of course they'll [the pigeons] come back. They're birds. I trust them, I understand them. It's people I don't understand. Some people are meant to be with other people. And others, like me...are just different." John Wayne: ""I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim." Jurassic World - Simon Masrani: "The key to a happy life is to accept you are never actually in control." Legend Of The Guardians - Ezylryb: "This is what it looks like when you've actually fought in battle. It's not glorious, it's not beautiful, it's not even heroic! It's merely doing what's right! And doing it again and again, until someday you look like this." The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride - Simba: "Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before...if given the chance." The Looney Tunes Show - Bugs Bunny: "Really? Are you really going there? Because if you go there, I will go there. And you do not want to be there when I get there, because when I get there, I will be so there that you will wish that you had stayed right here." Lord Of The Rings (The Two Towers) - Samwise Gamgee: "It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. ... That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for." Nostalgia Critic - The Worst Christmas Special Ever: "Bare necessities! Your asses are my recipes! The simple bear necessities of DEATH!" Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - Del Griffith: "You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right. I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you...but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like...I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get." Pokemon - Mewtwo: "The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Pokemopolis - Challenge Of The Samurai: "Well isn't that lovely and mature of Ash, gentle Dodgers, haven't we all learnt a valuable lesson about owning up and... BOLLOCKS! It WAS Samurai's fault and Ash ISN'T to blame! The fat little bastard is responsible for Weedle getting away, he ran away when the Beedrill's attacked, the Beedrill dodged Ash's best efforts to get Metapod back, the Kakuna evolved and Ash would have died if he'd stuck around and Team Rocket got involved when he risked life and limb to return for Metapod. It's all a bunch of new age CRAP! This terrifying example that is still taught in schools today is that it's mature to own up to mistakes even when they aren't your fault because no one likes to hear excuses. Well you can go piss up a rope you PC bastards! I say that if you didn't do anything wrong then you stick up for your rights and you say NO! It isn't my fault and I'm not going to say it was because you can't be bothered to find out the truth of the matter!" Red Dead Redemption - John Marston: "I don't care who a man is, what he does, or where he's from. If he treats me right, I'll do the same." President Ronald Reagan: "The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance, freedom, and open-mindedness. Question: Isn’t the real truth that they are intolerant of religion? They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives.” Samurai Jack - Jack's Father: "The decisions you make and the actions that follow are a reflection of who you are." The Silver Brumby - Benny the kangaroo: "It's a funny thing about doing something good or something kind. You do it because it feels right, it's proper. It's not so much what's expected, but what you want to do." Total Pokémon Redux (Pokémon FanFic) - Luxray: "I AM CURRENTLY DEVOURING A POTATO THAT HAS BEEN BURNT INTO A CRISP AND PACKAGED." Walt Disney: "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up anyway." Warrior Cats - Firestar: "Loyalty is what matters, and that exists now, not in the past. Loyalty has to be proved every day, in every piece of fresh-kill brought back for the Clan, every claw mark on our enemies, every patrol, every training session." World Of Warcraft - Chen Stormstout: "Everyone you meet is a story. Every place you go is an adventure. Every drink you have is the best you've ever tasted. This is not such a bad life, is it?" Wreck-It-Ralph - Ralph: "I am bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." WWE - Michael Cole: "There is nothing more dangerous than a desperate man with nothing left to lose." WWE - Ultimate Warrior: "Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in others something larger than life, then his essence, and his spirit will be immortalized by the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. You are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. In the back, I see many potential legends, some within their Warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they will live with passion and intensity, so much so that you will tell your stories and make them legends as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever." Zootopia - Judy Hopps: "I thought this city [Zootopia] would be a perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you."

Rated M for later chapters. Extra Notes About The Lion King: The Novel Well, since The Lion King: The Novel is complete, I'd like to share some info that's been made during this story. Think of it as a "Behind The Scenes" kind of deal. 1. Ahadi is the name of Mufasa and Scar's father from The Lion King: Six New Adventures, and he's mentioned in this story. While it's considered non-canon, I'd still like to see some of it in this story. Not only that, but Ahadi's mate Uru is mentioned in the story, and she's the daughter of King Mohatu in this story. No Mohatu, unfortunately. 2. From what I've seen in the Lion King fandom, Ahadi is seen as either a wise and benevolent king and father or a completely abusive father towards Scar. In this story, he would've been somewhere in the middle: favoring Mufasa while often getting onto Scar's case on one paw, while trying his best to raise both of his sons to be good lions on the other. Ahadi himself would also have been a rogue lion, invited to live in the Pride Lands after meeting Uru and learning to respect the traditions that go on there. 3. I've heard from some people (perhaps even the makers of the original Lion King) that Mufasa and Scar weren't brothers at all. So I'd like to think of Scar having been abandoned as a newborn cub, only for Ahadi and Uru to find him and adopt him. I've also recently learned that Scar's name isn't really Taka at all; it's actually Askari. 4. Some of the cubs I've listed in this story have been from various places within the Lion King franchise. Tojo, the cub who's raised some baby birds, is one of those cubs. 5. The Pride Lands is basically a more civilized part of the wilds of Africa. In other places in Africa, male lions kill cubs that aren't their own flesh and blood, and they chase out male cubs that are grown enough (just as they do in real-life). But in the Pride Lands, the king does neither of those things, the latter involving those cubs wishing to leave Pride Rock if they choose. 6. Beshte does end up appearing ahead of the Lion Guard, as a younger hippo. Lions live up to around 14 to 15 years in the wild while living around 15 to 20 years in captivity. Hippos, in the meantime, live up to 50 years (the oldest hippo being named Donna, who lived up to 61 years in captivity and died in 2012). As for sexual maturity, male lions become mature at 2 years old but can't breed until they're 4 or 5; male hippos, in the meantime, become mature at 7 years old. So Beshte would have some more time to grow between meeting Simba and meeting Kion. 7. I've decided to put Kamari and Azizi alongside Banzai and Ed when they serve under Shenzi. Shenzi herself is a combination of her two movie counterparts in this story: a sassy lady who jokes with her friends, while still being intimidating and commanding. 8. Some of the songs' lyrics from the Broadway musical have worked their way into the musical. "They Live In You" is mentioned when Mufasa teaches Simba about the great kings of the past. Shadowland is one of the chapters of this story, describing how the Pride Lands have fallen to ruin, and mentioned briefly when Sarabi lets Nala leave to find help. Endless Night is mentioned when Simba is alone, thinking of how he misses Mufasa. And it isn't just the songs from Broadway that are mentioned: several song lyrics from the movie got mixed into the story as well. 9. There was a scene that was going to be in the movie: Mufasa covering Simba when he tells Sarabi of how Simba was "claiming more territory" for the Pride Lands before saying that he'd tell her later. Unfortunately, I didn't really remember this until sometime after I posted the chapter "Father And Son". Speaking of the chapter, its title was originally going to be "They Live In You". 10. Though I don't like adding political stuff in here, Scar reminds me a lot of a communist, fueled by jealousy of those more successful than he is and apparently wanting equal treatment for hyenas. The latter part becomes very hypocritical of him later, when he uses the "bigotry" that the hyenas supposedly face to garner support for himself. 11. As you all saw since To Die For, Zira from The Lion King 2 was in this story as well. Her backstory in this one is that she was a rogue lion cub who never knew her father and saw her mother drown trying to save her. She ends up being taken into the Pride Lands and falls hard for Scar, who exaggerates Ahadi's favoritism towards Mufasa and even fills her in on his plots, even learning to disdain Mufasa and anyone associated with him. I think it's a nice contrast to Ahadi: both were lions born outside the Pride Lands and welcomed there, but Zira willingly sides with Scar turning her adoptive home into ruins while Ahadi learns to respect the home he's been taken into. 12. Part of Scar's new era speech has some inspiration from Animal Farm. In that book (to those who've read the book), the farm animals make a rule, stating "All animals are equal" and meaning exactly that, but Napoleon and his pigs erased that overtime, replacing it with "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". Scar enforces that to keep the hyenas on his leash, to keep making them feel important so that they would support him. 13. There was going to be a scene in here that involved Scar being in Rafiki's tree, pretending to mourn for Simba only to scrape his claws down the painting so that it bled sap. It was inspired by a piece of art done by NostalgiaChills on DeviantArt, and I had even commented that I'd like to see it in the remake (though it never happened). But I didn't add it because Rafiki would probably notice the claw marks on Simba's painting. 14. Bunga (my Bunga, that is) is inspired by Randall's Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger video and has that same attitude, though this honey badger has a rougher voice, like that of WWE wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin. Heck, I can imagine him using the Stone Cold Stunner on some hyenas. As a bonus, he's also the father of the Bunga you see in The Lion Guard, sometimes coming to visit and trusting Timon and Pumbaa to take care of him. 15. A nameless honey badger appears in The Lion King 2019 novelization, alongside the jungle animals. Speaking of them, the antelope and guinea fowl don't appear in the novelization, while a pair of each appear in my story. The names for Simba's unnamed jungle friends are as thus: Amani the bush baby ("wishes, desires"), Mune the elephant shrew ("the rules"), Kakena and Kaluwa the guinea fowl sisters ("the happy one" and "the forgotten one"), and Jafari and Otesha the duiker antelope couple ("creek" and "cultivate the earth"). Both Kaluwa and Jafari were killed in the Battle for Pride Rock, succeeded by their sister and mate respectively. As for voice actors due to a recent review asking who would be voiced by who, Bunga could be voiced by Stone Cold Steve Austin (or John Cena), Daabi the aardvark would be voiced by Kath Soucie (AKA Phil and Lil from Rugrats and Cubert from Futurama), and Bhati the bat-eared fox would be voiced by Selena Gomez. 16. Nuka gets to be in this story, being the son of Scar and Zira. In a way, Nuka does bear some resemblance to Scar, but he's also got his mother's looks as well. But in this story, since he was born sickly, Scar and Zira want nothing to do with him and leave him to the other lionesses; in fact, Zira neglects and abuses Nuka due to her believing that she failed to produce a healthy heir for Scar. So he gets a happily ever after, being adopted by his aunt Sarabi and accepted into the pride completely by Simba. Thanks to this better influence on his life, Nuka's personality comes out, a friendly lion who's a popular playmate for the cubs in the pride. 17. When Mufasa's spirit appears to Simba, he at first appears colossal and powerful-looking, and then he physically appears before Simba, being soft and reassuring. I kind of got that from a quote in the Bible, from 1 Kings 19:2-3: "Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper." That's the same way that Mufasa appears before Simba: huge, intimidating, and powerful with the clouds, the rain, and the radiant sun, and then appearing as if he were mortal, gentle and loving. 18. Simba's speech to Scar in "The Final Showdown" has two inspirations. The first inspiration is during the alternate ending, where Simba battles Scar. The second is inspired by the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode called "The Southern Raiders", where Katara tracks down her mother's killer and almost kills him but decides to spare him instead. So I mixed the two together in a way. And speaking of ATLA, I think I should've included a part about destiny from ATLA into the story. 19. Just recently, I've been thinking that the rain on the end not only signals the end of the dry season and cleansing the land but also being a baptism in a way. It can be seen as Simba becoming a "born again king" of sorts, his spirit and faith in his ancestors being restored. 20. As seen in the last chapter, Kion appears alongside Kiara, born to Simba and Nala; out of the two, Kiara was born half an hour before Kion, making her the firstborn. By this time, some of the other jungle friends Simba had befriended also have babies of their own. Bunga, for example, has already had a mate and son.
