Villain Dialogue #2: The Lyin’ Lion · 3:59pm Oct 5th, 2021

*Scar, King of the Pride Lands, roams in his den while looking haughtily towards the dark-clouded sky. He looks left and right to see all his hyenas feasting themselves on a dead elephant*

SCAR: Ahhh, another glorious day in my kingdom. Now I understand how truly wonderful being a king really is.

*Shenzi runs to Scar while eating a chunk of flesh*

SHENZI: I haven’t eaten this much in ages! I’m loving this already!

SCAR: *Chuckles* It appears that our rise to glory is a tremendous success. Nothing will stop us now.

*Suddenly, a loud maniacal laughter was heard not far from Pride Rock. This startles both Scar and the hyenas*

BANZAI: What the heck was that? Was that you, Ed?

*Ed shakes his head*

SCAR: I never heard a hyena laugh that loud before. Something's not right...

*Another laugh scares the animals. They frantically look around to see where the source of the noise came from*

JOKER: WHY SO SERIOUS?! *Evilly laughs in glee*

*The villainous animals behold in confusion as they see a hunched clown in formal attire with white makeup, green hair, blood red lips, purple trench coat, black eyes, and Glasgow scars across his lips. Scar looks on in amazement*

SCAR: Who in the name of the Pride Lands are you?

JOKER: You can call me... Joker. Never thought I would meet a talking lion and talking hyenas. And here I thought Gotham was full of surprises!

SHENZI: What kind of a creature are you supposed to be? You look so... strange.

JOKER: I come from the human race, my furry friend. From where I come from, humans are nothing but strange beings filled with weirdness. Guess I’m one of a kind. *Chuckles*

*Scar glares at the clown as he cautiously approaches him and scrutinizes him*

SCAR: So... Joker... where have you come from, and why are you here in MY kingdom? I have a law that forbids trespassers from coming here.

JOKER: My, my, my, why the hostility? I’m only here to meet a new friend!

SCAR: Friend?

JOKER: Yes! Also, I think this place needs some proper... adjustments.

SCAR: You dare to presume authority in my palace?! *growls*

JOKER: Easy there, pussy cat. I wouldn’t want to come near an inch close to me if I were you. *grabs a handgun from his pocket*

SCAR: What is that?

JOKER: Allow me to demonstrate. *Shoots a random hyena in the head. It drops dead on the grass as the others are startled by the gunshot. Scar witnesses this in shock*

JOKER: You see, I’m a guy with simple taste: dynamite, gunpowder, gasoline, and... fear. *Points the gun at Scar* The only way to gain respect from people is by showing them what fear looks like. Of course, only people like Scarecrow and Batman would understand that. For me, I just... well... spread chaos. Why? Because chaos... is my middle name. Hehehehehe... HAHAHAHAHA!!

*Scar listens in terror as Joker monologues. However, the more he understood what he was saying, the more he started to respect him. He also noticed a few scars on Joker’s mouth. A smirk grew on Scar’s face*

SCAR: Hmmm... I’m starting to think we’re two of a kind, my friend. Tell me more about yourself.

JOKER: You wanna know how I got these scars?

SCAR: I’m intrigued.

JOKER: I had a brother, who was... a classy guy—top student of his school. One day, he went berserk with popularity and attention from his fans as he graduated. I was only second rate to him... or so he said of me. At home, I stood up to him and asked him to stop belittling me. Instead, he grabbed a knife and held it to my mouth as he laughed. He took me by the throat and asked, “Why so serious, brother? I’m just messing with ya!” Sticks the blade in my mouth, “Let’s put a smile on that face!” Soooooooo... why so serious?

*The hyenas were visibly disgusted as they listened to the story while Ed’s jaw cartoonishly dropped. Scar, however, looked angry and sad at the same time. He laid his paw on Joker’s shoulder*

SCAR: I can almost relate to that experience. I too had a brother who cared only for the throne but me. Although this scar I have wasn’t inflicted by him directly, he was responsible for it. So... I sympathize with you on this. It seems we understand each other perfectly now.

JOKER: Believe me, buddy, we have a long way to go. Only time will tell what victories we can accomplish. *winks*

SCAR: Indeed. Hyenas, welcome our new friend to the fold! We have an ally on our paws. *all the hyenas howl and laugh in approval*

JOKER: Time to smile and reign with joy! *Both villains laugh together*

Thanks again to Dianabel for suggesting Scar. I hope you guys enjoyed this.
