Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Loyal friends

All the elders of the Jungle were speechless as they saw how Shershah had decided what he had to do and did not take heed to any of their advice. 

Perhaps this was the real attitude of an Alpha Lion. A lion when he sets his eyes on something that is his or if he wants to save somebody then he is willing to fight them even if the whole world is against him and in this case, this was his own child. In the cases of animals, they have many offspring and do not have much emotional value if one or two of them go missing however in this situation Shershah was ready to surrender his own life which showed how much he loved his son Rambo.

While everyone was discussing how Shershah had gone mad over his missing son Fuzzy the Honey Badger came ahead and asked the Alpha Lion: "Uncle Rambo is my friend also I want to accompany you to save Rambo. Please let me go with you."

All the elders and surrounding animals who were present there were flabbergasted by the daring of this petite animal who had boldly come in front to accompany the Alpha Lion on his mission to rescue Rambo who was his friend. This little being was not afraid of anybody and was even ready to face the Humans who were the most powerful species of the earth.

Once Fuzzy the Honey Badger came up and volunteered to rescue his friend this had a chain effect among his other friends and then Makucha the Leopard child also came up and said: "Shershah uncle Rambo is my friend also. I will go with you to rescue Rambo."

After Makucha Jax the jungle cat also came forward and said: "Shershah Uncle Rambo is my friend too and I also want to go with you to rescue Rambo."

Then Mutt the Hyena child came up and said: "Shershah Uncle I also want to go. We will rescue Rambo together."

After Mutt the Hyena, Mackel the golden jackal came up and said: "I will also go with you Uncle."

Then came the Indian Gray Mongoose and said: "Uncle do not worry we will all go together and make sure those humans pay the price of capturing our friend Rambo."

By this time Ajax the Owl had also recuperated a bit and had awakened so he came up and said: "Shershah Uncle I will scout for all of you ahead and report to you what is the status of the Human Camp and what preparation and defense they had."

Shershah was so touched by these young fellows and had a proud feeling in his heart because his son had accumulated such loyal friends who were ready to face the most difficult challenges of life to rescue his son. This also showed his son's true leadership capabilities and that he was able to accumulate such loyal followers.

Shershah though in his mind proudly: "My son has really grown up now since he was able to make such nice and loyal friends. After all the quality of a true leader is that the leader should have capability to make loyal followers who will support him in every situation even when he is down in life. My son has truly accomplished something by gaining such loyal friends."

When Rambo's friends were coming up one by one to support Shershah in rescuing his son the other animals and the elders of the Jungle came out of their shock at what was happening and then one of the elders who was a Deer said: "Shershah what nonsense you are doing. If you want to go and die trying to save your son then you go. But why are you encouraging our children to go with you?

The Giraffe elder who was also a good friend of Shershah came up and said: "Yes Shershah I understand that this child Rambo was one of your favorites but you cannot take our children with you to face danger. You have to understand that what's gone is gone it will never come back."

Shershah who loved his son Rambo the most could not bear to hear any more of the advice which were given to him about abandoning his son and then he roared: "ROAR"

All the elders and surrounding animals became quiet seeing the alpha lion becoming angry.

Shershah said: "I do not care whether facing the humans I will die or I will be able to return with my son Rambo. I will go and make the Humans pay for what they have done. I will save my son Rambo and if I lose I will also prefer to die or be captured by the humans you all will be witness to all this."

Shershah then turned toward the children who were his son's friends and said: "Thank you so much for being there to support my son. If I am able to return with my son Rambo then me and My son will always be grateful to you little fellows. However, you guys do not have to accompany me at this point in time. Listen to your parents and just wait for me to return with Rambo. I will rescue him and return with him."

After that Shershah asked his followers from his Lion pack to take care of Lakshmi since she was still unconscious and then left for a dangerous mission ahead.

Once he made sure that Lakshmi was all right he went on his journey towards the human camp to find his beloved son Rambo.

ROAR ROAR

A ferocious adult lion was running across on the ground under the extremely dense cover of trees in the forest. It felt like whoever comes in front of this lion will lose his life then and there. None of the jungle beings dared to come across the path of this ferocious lion.

ROAR ROAR ROAR

While running a huge tree which came in front of the ferocious lion was barring his way so the lion with one swipe of his thick paw with sharp nails brought the whole tree down.

BANG

With a bang sound the complete tree fell down on the ground like a lifeless body since it had dared to come become and obstacle for the ferocious lion so it was taken down with just one attack of the mighty lion.

ROAR ROAR.
