After doing so many gift things, I decided to post something that has been of my own wishings.

In "The Lion Guard" there is one episode where the always kind and harmless Hippo Beshte ends up getting rumoured to be some sort of evil being called, "Poa The Destroyer".

Luckily things are sorted out by the end of it, with everyone knowing that Beshte would NEVER harm another animal.

But what if he actually had an evil side, and something happen to make that Poa side come out?

In this story that does happen, and Poa's first target is the very same individual who started the rumor to begin with.

The Lion Guard belongs to Disney.

It was never easy to make sudden move in life.

For the Lion Guard it was quite true, as they had all left their old homes in the Pride Lands, for new ones at the Tree of Life.

Hardest for the bunch the change had probably been for Beshte, as the massive Hippo of the group had been having quite the rough starting at his new place.

Being seemingly the only hippo in these strange lands he was quite the outside to the rest, with especially the Penguins.

Or rather with one particular penguin in question named Pinguino, who acted a bit like the big, brave, and somewhat cocky leader of the group. (Reminding a whole lot about a certain Zebra back over at the Pride Lands.)

Upon seeing the big bulky creature stepping around in his frozen lands it didn't take long for the small penguin to assume the worst, and soon started to spread false rumours amongst the rest.

He would tell them makeshift stories fuelled on his own fears, all about how this scary thing was super evil, had a love of destroying things, and most of all lived on devouring creatures smaller then himself!

Pinguino also gave the hippo stranger the name of "Poa the Destroyer!", since that was a certain phrase he had been hearing the big guy say to himself a lot while exploring the area.

At first it was just the penguins buying these insane rumours, but soon the word of mouth started to move from species to species, and not to long almost all the creatures in the Tree of Live was fully behind these Poa tales.

For Beshte it became pretty strange and sad, as suddenly all of the animals was starting to avoid him whenever he showed up.

Thanks to the help of his friends the friendly hippo was able to convince most of the animals that this whole "Poa" character had never existed for real, but Pinguino was still not fully convinced about it.

The paranoid heavy penguin still felt he couldn't fully trust the big hippo however, and while Beshte's friends told him to just let him be, the big guy couldn't let any potential friendship slip away.

---

So after about a few days since that little misunderstanding Beshte decided to try and re-connect with his friend, as he made his way over searching for him in the snowy side of this special land.

Pinguino however wasn't all that keen on seeing the big fellow, so as soon as he could feel the ground shaking slightly underneath his feet and seeing that big mass of hippo getting closer, he decided to waddle away as fast as his tiny legs would let him.

Noticing the small penguin guy making his way deeper amongst the mountains Beshte called for his friend to let him know he wanted to see him, only to see how Pinguino would start waddling even faster to get out of sight.

Beshte let out a bit of a sigh over still seeing Pinguino being so scared of him, but the hippo was so determined to try and show him that there was nothing to fear, so he decided to keep going on.

Having the clear advantage of moving faster Pinguino was hoping that wandering amongst the snowy hills and valleys would ditch Beshte behind, but he had completely forgot about the fact that he was leaving clear foot prints after himself in the snow!

So for Beshte he just need to keep his eyes down on the snow for a literal trace to follow, meaning that he would sooner or later catch up with him again.

The downside of having all his focus down on the ground meant that Beshte wasn't quite aware of what was going on above him, and that's when a particularly large icicle ended up breaking free and coming down towards him!

Luckily for Beshte the thing ended up turning midair (So that at the very least the sharp end wasn't pointing down), but it still landed right on top of his head with a pretty heavy blow!

The impact was enough to put the big hippo out of the cold for a few moments, before he slowly started to regain his conscious again.

Only issue was that while Beshte's eyes was open again, his mind was still in complete scrambles.

Trying to understand who he was and what was going on, the only thing coming through in his mind was "Poa the destroyer", and how that must have been his true identity.

As he accepted that as real facts a sudden glow could be seen in Beshte's eyes as he fully woke up, which didn't look at all like his usually very happy and friendly eyes, but more of the ones belonging to someone as devious as Scar!

Letting out a deep evil chuckle the now fully changed hippo kid said to himself "Well. If that little shrimp is so scared of me, then I'm going to give him something that will make him REALLY afraid!", before then continuing on with following the tracks in the snow left by the small penguin.

"You better watch out little guy, cause Poa the Destroyer is on your trails!" Beshte said, as with his changed personality was now going to enjoy this chase a lot more.

---

For Penguino this was basically what his worst nightmare looked like, as he could hear the voice of Beshte from the distance saying "Hey there, little buddy! Where did you go?", and that only caused him to start waddle even faster!

He wanted nothing else then to get away from the big hippo, even if it meant to keep climbing higher and higher up the snowy mountain.

Finally came the moment when his tactic of running without thinking lead him straight into a corner, surrounding him with super tall walls!

Realizing he was caught Penguino tried to quickly turn around to find a different route, only to see Beshte having fully caught up with him and now blocking his path with his huge body.

"I-I'm so sorry for r-running away from you there, Poa...I mean Besthe!" A clearly nervous Penguino said to Beshte, who in return let out a pretty creepy sounding laughter before then saying back, "No, you said it right the first time."

"...come again?" Penguino asked slightly confused, as the big hippo walked up closer to him and said "You heard me. I am POA, THE DESTROYER!"

If it was possible for a penguin's already white feathers to turn even more pale then that was exactly what happen to Penguino, as this was his worst nightmare come true!

"W-w-what a-are y-you?..." Penguino asked while shaking like a leaf, as Poa just smiled and filled in "Going to do with you? Simple. Since you are the one who started trying to make all those other animals turn against me, I find it only fitting to have you pay for it, in the one way I see fitting."

"A-and what is t-that?" Penguino asked as he saw the big hippo starting to lick his mouth, before answering "I'm going to eat you, of course."

This made Penguino's eyes stand out fully, and all sense of thinking was replaced by just pure panic!

Trying to find a way to escape seemed seemingly impossible (Thanks to Poa using his wide body to touch both sides of the tight passage), but then he saw the space between the hanging gut and the floor, and decided to gun for it!

Using his talents of belly sliding across the snow Penguino made a great leap for it, and even took the hippo by surprise at first as he made his way right down and between his legs

But no sooner had Penguino started feeling hopeful over his chances of getting away with his life, when he saw how the "roof" of Poa's belly was starting to come down on him!

Being unable to stop during mid skid Penguino ended up completely crushed underneath the heavy gut flab, as Poa decided to belly flop on top of the penguin!

Feeling the soft belly and soft snow pressing together at him, Penguino found himself completely sandwiched and helplessly stuck in-between.

For Po on the other hand was enjoying this oh so much, as he fully loved feeling the small penguin squirming and wiggling from underneath his big belly.

"Better get used to the feelings of my gut, since you will soon been feeling it from the inside!" Poa told Penguino, before then realizing the problem in trying to get to him while also unable to turn around in his tight space.

That's when Poa got a very nasty idea as he decided to give poor Penguino a false sense of victory, before then crushing those hopes completely.

What he did was to simply lift his whole body back up again, giving Penguino a small window to try and crawl and make his way all the way to the back end of the big hippo.

Once feeling that the little guy was just about to make it past his hind legs, Poa lifted up his great big rump high, before then slamming it down like the boulder it was onto the head of Penguino!

Penguino barley had time to see the big butt coming down at him before being hit hard, fully swallowing up and hiding the penguin from all views!

As he sat down onto his wide load Poa could feel the little guy fighting back a lot less this time, before finally feeling him stop moving all together.

Smiling over his own success Poa started to back up, until he had the crushed Penguino (With only his head sticking up from the snowy ground) right by his face.

---

Looking down at the now fully trapped penguin Poa looked pretty pleased, as Penguino started to regain his conscious and seemed less the happy with his current situation.

"P-Please, s-spare me! I-I swear I wont spread rumours ever again!" Penguino pleaded, as Poa just laughed and said back "Believe me. You wont."

Feeling he had been spending enough time playing with his food, Poa decided to just get it over with as he open his mouth super widely.

"N-NO!!! PLEASE STOP!!! I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!!! I'll...MUMF!!! HUGN FNUB!!!" Penguino shouted as his whole world became the inside of Poa's big mouth, leaving just muffled cries as the great hippo proceeded.

Closing his jaws around the rest of the penguin body buried underground, Poa then took and pulled Penguino free from the snow, only to then slurp the rest of his meal inside.

Thanks to their immense size-differences all of Penguino was able to fit inside of Poa's mouth, giving the evil hippo the chance to fully taste his meal all around.

Getting tossed and tumbled around inside, Penguino tried his best to wrestle the huge tongue of Poa, while also staying as far away from that throat opening as possible!

Once Poa felt he had been having enough tasting he simply raised his head up, leading to the now all saliva slippery Penguino to slide down with little to no resistance.

Being almost like a waterpark slide ride Penguino travelled through the throat of Poa, before then landing into a big pool that was his stomach!

For someone as small as Penguino this place was more then roomy enough, but that didn't take away from the fact that he had been eaten and would soon become digested as well!

Trying to fight back in the best ways he could Penguino started to punch and slam his whole body into the stomach walls of Poa, hoping that maybe it would cause enough of a reaction to free him.

Well, it did cause some sort of reaction all right...

"BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh boy! Really made me let out a big one there." Poa said laughing, as Penguino inside just sank down into the pool of stomach fluids over how there was truly no hope of him surviving.

"I have to say, you sure taste not that different from the fishes I usually eat." Poa said to his belly, before then thinking loudly about how "Maybe I should see if there is any other penguins who can join you in here?"

"No! Please...don't!..." Penguino yelled back, before then finding himself getting rather tired all of the sudden. (No doubt being the lack of air in the stomach, after having all of it escaping that burp of Poa.)

"Starting to get sleepy in there? Better tucker up nicely, cause it might become a rather painful experience otherwise." Poa said as he could hear Penguino trying to respond from within, before then smiling over hearing the penguin finally ending up fully passed out.

Laughing to himself over how easy it was, Poa boasted about planning to eat every single animal living in these lands, when his brief rein of terror came to a very sudden end.

Just like how a icicle had caused him to think he was this evil bad guy, as second one came bumping to onto his head once more, this time setting things back into how it was.

Now it was instead Beshte waking up from what felt like a weird dream, as he had no memories of becoming Poa, of devouring Penguino, or even why he was up in the mountains to begin with.

What's worse was that if Penguino was still conscious at this moment, all it would have taken was one bump from Beshte's stomach for the big guy to realize he had something alive inside of him, and would just as quickly help him get back out again.

But now he was in a deadly sleep, almost fully submerged in Beshte's stomach acids, as they were about to start doing their thing to him!

Saddest part was that due to him being so small Beshte barely even noticed his belly had something recently inside of it, as he just assumed it being stuff he had been eating earlier in the morning.

Beshte would just wander his way back down to his friends, where he would become just as surprised as the rest when being given the news about Penguino's sudden disappearance.

He would even go so far as the join a search party for the little guy, never once thinking that the lost penguin was closer to him then he could ever imagine.

It had been Penguino who had started the whole Poa rumours to begin with, so it was pretty ironic then that he would be the only one to fall victim for such a cruel beast.
