The Lion King: Alternate Version

Chapter 2

5 months later….. …

It has been five months since Simba's presentation. The cubs in the Pride lands have grown remarkably and today was a small adventure for Simba, Tojo, Chumvi, and Malka. Malka was a orange cub with two tone black and brown ear and head tufts. He was two months older than the rest of the group and visited many times since Simba's birth. Today he was here because the next day was the Prides famous lion's tournament.

"Come on you guys lets go", before are parents are awake. Simba whispered to his friends. "Were coming buddy were just not morning lions like you are" Tojo squealed "Where are we going again?" Malka asked "I told you already some unexplored area of this land that we haven't seen yet". Chumvi explained. Hey I am a prince and I do have a right to know." spat Malka. Yea well it's not your land its mine. Besides your just a guest here so you have no authority what so ever" Simba yelled back in confidence as the four were walking away from Pride Rock and to a unknown cave about half a mile away from the giant rock.

"We're here" Tojo said with excitement. The four cubs walked cautiously into the cave.

"Whoa" all four said in unison when they saw Rubies upon Rubies of all various shapes and sizes and that extended for what seemed like miles. Also giant Stalactites and stalagmites were everywhere in the huge cavern. If humans were here they would have been in aw as well and would have mined this cave clean with new found riches that were just ready for processing and selling.

"Hello Hello Hello" echoed Tojo's voice. "I' am awesome, I' am awesome, I' am awesome" echoed Simba's twangy voice. "Chumvi's the best Chumvi's the best Chumvi's the best" echoed the chocolate cub. "Woo hoo Woo hoo Woo hoo" echoed the oldest cub. "Well I think we seen enough" Tojo said "Oh come on We haven't explored this amazing cave enough" Cried Chumvi. "No Tojo is right I believe we better get back while our parents are still asleep". Simba said.

"There you four are, come on before your parents find out what happened to you squawked the annoying hornbill as the four were leaving the entrance of the enormous cave. The four cubs and the blue hornbill went back to pride rock before anyone's parents woke up. The next day was the real fun day The Lions Tournament.

The Lions day of The Lions Tournament was one of the prides funnest activities that were held once a year when prey was in excess and the pride was in high sprits. All lions could participate and it didn't matter if you were a rouge or not. There were various activities such as the Hunt off. A hunting contest on who can kill a prey animal the fastest and cleanest. The endurance race. A twenty mile endurance race that involved a race around the entire twenty square miles of the pride lands. The sprint. Basically it was a 100 meter dash compaction. The swim off witch was a lap race in a water hole. The Sparing contest where Lions could spar for fun without claws of course and pin their opponent. Finally a chess, tic tack toe game that challenged ones intelligent's and one that Scar always one every year. All the lions gathered even Ni gathered around a crude arena set by small natural stones and carvings made by Meercats.

"Here ye here ye" Zazu screeches to all the lions in attendance. As you know this is the annual Lions Tournament is here and you are all here to choose the various challenges to show what you are able to perform. Remember you all have two minutes to prepare and decide which challenges you decide to perform for us today." Said the bird.

"So what do you want to do Nala?" Kakena asked. "I don't know they all look fun." The Cub with the sea-green eyes replied. "Well I know what I am doing bragged" Tama "unlike you who is ugly and weak" as she looks at Nala. Nala was about to cry when Kula steps in front of the two cubs. "Hey leave her alone." As Kula snarled back "Watch it little miss always hungry." Tama yelled back. "Hey that's my sister you're talking to" Chumvi barked while running up to the fighting girls.
