"Do you have to move so loudly?" the tiger growled.
"I'm sorry." his leonine companion countered "But I'm not used to this kind of thing."
"And that, is why I am here." Shere Khan replied "Now, where is this quarry of yours?"
"He must be nearby, I let him out not long ago."
"Jolly good. Now, do you think you can stalk a little more quietly?"
Scar hating being patronised like this, but he knew he was in the presence of a power greater than his, and getting on the wrong side of him would most certainly mean death.

The unlikely pair continued stalking the Savannah. Eventually, the prey was sighted.
"Alright Scar, listen to me. Stay low to the ground." Khan was in his element, showing off his hunting prowess. He shifted position, crouching so he disappeared below the grass. Scar did the same.
"Now, you must make sure the prey is unaware of your presence. When you are, move foward quietly creating as little disturbance as possible. Never take your eyes from the quarry. The element of surprise is key."
"That's never really been my style."Scar said. He really wasn't taking it seriously.
"I could leave you alone to starve" Khan said, smiling devilishly.
"Alright. Go on."
"If the prey even gets a hint you are there, abandon the hunt. You won't outrun it. They have the speed but we have the cunning. Wait until the last possible moment. Then strike"
"Stalk silently. Strike at the last moment. Got it." Scar really wasn't sure about this.
"Well go on. Or is the little kitty scared?" Shere Khan goaded. Scar wasn't going to take that.
Focusing on the prize, he began stalking. He relished the feeling of power, knowing he was in control of the poor creatures fate. When he was close enough, he pounced.

Zazu never knew what hit him.
For a Disney CO comp.

I figured that since Scar is used to having the lionesses hunt for him, he could do with brushing up on his skills.
Who better to teach him that Disney's most powerful feline, Shere Khan?

Oh and Zazu, thats for the Morning Report :evillaugh: I hate that song.
