Scar silently stalked across the open field surrounding Rafiki's tree in the dead of night, moving quickly so as not to be caught by the old baboon. Climbing up and inside the lion noticed the simian lightly snoring in the corner, clutching his wooden staff. After making sure he was sound asleep he began surveying the collection of colorful glass bottles. Upon finding the one labeled 'youth' Scar grabbed the neck of the bottle with his mouth and quickly left with his ill gotten prize, grinning through clenched teeth as he ran away.

"So that stuff's supposed to make you younger...like for real?" Banzai asked his boss when he returned to the mammoth graveyard and explained the potion to the three of them.
"Yeah I'm not buying it" Shenzi replied skeptically.
Scar rolled his eyes, "Then I suppose a demonstration is in order." Uncorking the vial with his claw he proceeded to drink a mouthful of the contents. Licking his lips at the tangy taste Scar was pleased when he felt renewed with energy and the aches in his bones faded away. Meanwhile the hyenas were shocked to see the old lion become younger before their eyes, his coat and mane becoming brighter in color.
"Whoa I got to try me some of that" Banzai exclaimed and reached for the bottle only to have his paw immediately slapped away.
"This stuff is mine, and mine alone!" Scar growled dangerously.
Banzai whined at his stinging paw and muttered something about not learning to share. Scar then looked to the bottle and recalling the sensation of that first drink decided he wanted to experience it again. Taking another longer drink he felt that same overwhelming burst of energy, strength filling his body. Craving and desiring more Scar drank even more.
"Uh boss, I really think you should stop" Shenzi replied upon seeing the lion had reverted back to a teenager and was already going further back than that. Scar paid the hyena no mind as he greedily continued to ingest the addictive rejuvenating liquid, not noticing the world or the bottle in his paws growing bigger. Eventually it grew too big and slipped from his small paws, falling to the ground and shattering as the remaining contents stained the cave floor.
The sound of it breaking knocked Scar back to his senses as he looked up to see the towering forms of Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. Checking himself he was horrified to find he was now a cub again, almost the same age as Simba. Feeling small and very vulnerable Scar looked back at the trio who were giving him smirking hungry looks.
