This takes place just after Simba's presentation in the first movie.

"Life's not fair isn't it my little friend?" Scar said talking to the mouse he just catched

"Which I will never be king, and you will never see the light of another day" Scar said with a grin

"Did your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?" Zazu asked

"What do you want?" Scar asked with an annoyed tone

"I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's is on his way, so you better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning" Zazu announced

"Oh no Zazu you made me lose my lunch" Scar said after the mouse he caught just escaped from his paws

"Heh, You'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you, He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia" Zazu joked

"Oh I quiver with fear!" Scar hissed

"Oh Scar, don't look at me that way Help!" Zazu begged

"Scar! Drop him" Mufasa called out when Scar just tried to eat Zazu

"Impeccable timing your majesty" Zazu said before Scar finally let go of him

"Why if it isn't my big brother descending from on high to mingle with the commoners" Scar said

"Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba" Mufasa replied

"Oh.. That was today? Oh I feel simply awful" Scar said before clawing the rocks making Zazu uncomfortable

"Must have slipped my mind" Scar added

"Well as slippery as your mind is as the King's brother you should have been first in line" Zazu said

"I was first in line, Until that little hairball was born" Scar hissed

"That hairball is my son and your future king" Mufasa replied

"Oh I shall practice my curtsy" Scar said

"Is that a challenge?!" Mufasa roared

"Temper, Temper" Scar said, feigning fear "I wouldn't dream of challenging you"

"Oh pity why not?" Zazu asked

"Well as far as brains go I have the lion's share but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm in the shallow end of the gene pool" Scar replied before leaving

"There's one in every Family sire, Two in mine actually and they always manage to ruin special occasions" Zazu said

"What am I going to do with him?" Mufasa asked

"He'd make a very handsome throw rug" Zazu joked

"Zazu!" Mufasa said

"And just think whenever he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him" Zazu joked

"Wait Zazu did you just hear something?" Mufasa asked

"Uhh nothing sire" Zazu replied

"I just heard a cub crying" Mufasa said

"Maybe it's just Simba maybe you should check on him" Zazu suggested

"No Zazu I know Simba's voice when he cries, this is different I have a weird feeling about it" Mufasa said

"Maybe you should look everywhere you might see something" Mufasa requested

"As you wish sire" Zazu said before flying looking for the "cub" Mufasa is talking about

And he just saw something and he cannot believe what he just witnessed

"Sire! We have to go now! There is an abandoned cub near the outlands! He might be harmed!" Zazu exclaimed

Mufasa and Zazu rushed to check the cub when they reached the cub it was a different one

"Sire this cub might be abandoned and a rogue might have just dropped it here for personal reasons" Zazu said

"Are you sure? Keep looking" Mufasa replied

"I just did sire, they seem to be no lions nearby that could be this cub's parents" Zazu explained

"I'm afraid it is the case some parents just abandon there cubs in the middle of nowhere it's just the dark side of reality" Zazu added

"If that's the case then I'll keep the cub" Mufasa replied

"What?!" Zazu asked in shock

"Zazu I can't just leave him here, this cub needs shelter and Simba could use a little brother" Mufasa replied

"Then we better go" Zazu said

Mufasa kept the cub with him with Zazu in his side hoping to introduce him to Sarabi, and Rafiki could use some help

"Mufasa why is there a cub with you?" Sarabi asked

"I found an abandoned cub near the border, I can't just leave him there" Mufasa replied

"Are you sure this little one's parents aren't looking for him?" Sarabi asked

"We made sure of it, the cub is abandoned they are no lions nearby that could be the cub's parents" Mufasa replied

"Well then if that's the case we could keep him" Sarabi said with a smile

"You want to?" Mufasa asked and he is surprised that Sarabi is open about it

"Of course Mufasa, Simba could use a little brother and who would do such a thing that they just abandoned a cub in the middle of nowhere?" Sarabi replied

"Well if that's the case then what should we name him?" Mufasa asked

"Malka" Sarabi suggested

"That's a perfect name" Mufasa replied


Ever since then Malka and Simba grew up together as brothers, Scar was against the idea of the royal family adopting a rogue lion, however he had no power on what his brother does.

Scar asked himself would it be possible? Mufasa having a new cub would cause alot of problems because it might result into a newly formed lion guard that he has to deal with, however he theorized that a new lion guard would only be possible if the leader was related to the Royal family.

"Remember Simba everything the light touches is our Kingdom" Mufasa said

"Woah, What about that shadowy place?" Simba asked

"That's beyond our borders you should never go there Simba" Mufasa replied

"Heads up! Incoming!" Malka called out with the baobab ball hitting his father's head

"Malka!" Simba said with an annoyed tone

"Oh I'm sorry dad Mheetu and I are just playing baobab ball" Malka apologised

"And I'm way better than him" Mheetu teased

"Oh come on! You always throw it pretty far away how am I supposed to catch it?" Malka argued

"Malka..." Mufasa said trying to talk to his son

"Oh Malka just admit it you're bad at playing this game" Mheetu teased

"Malka!" Mufasa warned again

"Oh yeah? You can't even pin me!" Malka teased

"Boys!" Mufasa thundered

"Oh.. What is it dad?" Malka asked hoping that his father isn't angry

"Malka I need to talk to your brother, I'm teaching him some lessons today" Mufasa said

"Because I'm training to be-"

"King of the pridelands, Yeah yeah I know all about it Simba" Malka said with an annoyed tone

"Well atleast I have my life figured out! What are you growing up to be? Little brother?" Simba teased

"Happy?" Malka replied

"Alright you two that's enough, Malka why won't you and Mheetu go play somewhere else?" Mufasa suggested

"Yeah I just found a pretty cool place!" Mheetu exclaimed

"Oh really where is it?" Malka asked

"Race ya" Mheetu teased before running away

"Hey wait up!" Malka said

"Later dad, Simba your girlfriend is propably waiting for you!" Malka teased before chasing Mheetu

"What? Ew! me and Nala are just friends!" Simba replied with a disgusted tone

Mufasa chuckled remembering him and Nala are actually betrothed.


"So where exactly is this place?" Malka asked

"Tada!" Mheetu said before showing a den that is most likely abandoned

"Woah, I never knew there was a den here" Malka replied

"I found it yesterday" Mheetu said

"It's not a den it's a lair"

"Who-who's that?" Malka stammered

A stranger showed up that turned out none other than Rafiki

"Oh Rafiki, uh I just found this place" Mheetu hastily explained "Please dont hit me with your staff..."

Rafiki just laughed maniacally leaving the two cubs clueless

"Uhh is he ok?" Malka asked

"I don't know" Mheetu replied

"This is the lair of the Lion Guard!" Rafiki announced

"The Lion Guard? What's that?" Malka asked in confusion

"It is a team of male lions that is led by the secondborn of the royal family that includes the fastest strongest fiercest bravest and the keenest of sight, Your uncle Scar used to lead it" Rafiki explained

"Wait uncle Scar used to lead it? Well then where is the Lion Guard now? You said its a team he can't lead it alone" Malka asked

"I was about to tell you, the rest of the lion guard died in a tragic accident and your uncle Scar is still traumatised about it" Rafiki explained

"Oh.. That's sad" Malka said with a sad tone

"Wait hold on a second! Malka is the secondborn! Does that mean he gets to lead the new Lion Guard?" Mheetu asked

"Yes indeed but time will tell if he is ready for it" Rafiki replied

"Woah cool... Wait! I get to lead it soon!?" Malka asked

"Very well young prince" Rafiki replied

"That's awesome!" Malka said in excitement

"And remember only time will tell if you're ready for it!" Rafiki said however the cubs already ran away

"Nah i think they are already aware of it" Rafiki said

"I'm going to be the leader of the lion guard!" Malka said in excitement

"Hey Malka maybe we could do it now, just think about it" Mheetu suggested

"Are you sure? Rafiki said only time will tell if I'm ready to lead it" Malka said

"So? You think we aren't ready? I could be your second in command!" Mheetu suggested

"Good point and also Rafiki said it includes the fastest the strongest fiercest bravest and keenest of sight" Malka said

"I'm brave! I could be the bravest!" Mheetu suggested

"Hmm good idea, maybe I could be the fiercest" Malka replied

"Help I'm stuck!"

"Did you hear that?" Malka asked

"It's Tojo we should check on him" Malka suggested

"Oh Tojo just jump it won't be that hard" Chumvi complained

"Yeah no, I'd rather die than to jump in a river!" Tojo hissed

"Don't worry ill catch you" Chumvi said

"Ew! No!" Tojo replied

"I mean it's kinda your fault, why did you even climb in a tree in the first place?" Chumvi asked with a grin

"I saw a cool bird I wanted to keep it!" Tojo replied

"The Lion Guard is here to save the day!" Mheetu announced

"I don't like the sound of that voice.." Chumvi said

"It's Mheetu!" Tojo exclaimed

With no warning Mheetu climbed the tree that Tojo is stuck on leading to him falling in the river making him wet

"Mheetu what did you just do?! I'm wet now thanks to you!" Tojo hissed

"Well I think I'm the one who just saved your life" Mheetu teased

"You should have seen your face!" Chumvi laughed

"What's going on here? Did I miss something?" Malka asked

"Oh great it's Prince Charming" Chumvi rolled his eyes

"Malka you better have a good explanation, Mheetu just came out of nowhere and it seems like you took a part in it!" Tojo hissed

"Geez Tojo just calm down we are just trying to form the new lion guard" Malka explained

"The lion what?" Chumvi asked

"The lion guard me and Mheetu will be the protectors of the pridelands!" Malka said in excitement

"Wait are you for real? you and Mheetu? The protectors of the pridelands?" Chumvi laughed

"Mheetu can't even hunt a mouse!" Tojo laughed

"Says the one who is scared of heights" Mheetu teased

"Ok listen, Tojo and Chumvi.. Uhh I am here to recruit you two to be the new members of the newly formed lion guard!" Malka announced

"Tojo could be the keenest of sight and Chumvi could be the strongest!" Malka added

The two cubs just laughed again

"Are you serious? Id rather spend my whole life locked in a den forever than to be in the same team with Mheetu" Tojo laughed

"There is no way I'll accept you as a leader" Chumvi said

"If you don't want to then fine! It's not like I'm forcing you!" Malka replied

"Malka and Mheetu protectors of the pridelands? Give me a break if this two actually are the protectors of the pridelands then the kingdom would be destroyed even before Simba has a chance to be the king!" Chumvi joked

"Just ignore them we have alot of options anyway" Mheetu said

"We do?" Malka asked

"Yes, follow me!" Mheetu exclaimed

"Where are they going?" Tojo asked

"Propably where losers came from" Chumvi replied


"Malka meet Gumu" Mheetu Said

"Uhh.. Hello?" Malka said

"Hello there little guy nice to meet you" Gumu greeted

"Nice to meet you too" Malka greeted back

"He could be a good addition for the lion guard!" Mheetu said

"The what?" Gumu asked

"The Lion Guard we are going to be the protectors of the pridelands and you could be a good addition as the strongest! I mean what could be stronger than an elephant?" Mheetu said

"Maybe, I'll be open about it" Gumu replied

"What is this all about?" A female hornbill showed up

"Juu nice to meet you! Just in time!" Mheetu exclaimed

"Oh hey there Mheetu, What is this all about?" Juu asked

"I didn't know you had alot of friends that are different animals" Malka whispered

"Me and Malka are going to be the new Lion Guard! And juu you could be the keenest of sight!" Mheetu announced

"I have to know about this "Lion Guard" first" Juu replied

"It's a team that protects the pridelands that includes the fiercest bravest strongest fastest and keenest of sight" Mheetu explained

"Sounds good I need something to do when I'm bored" Juu agreed

"Me too, you know what I'm definitely joining!" Gumu exclaimed

"Woah, thanks alot" Malka said

"Now we just need one thing left! The fastest!" Malka added

"Oh I know just the right guy to do the job" Mheetu said


"Just a normal day of being a Lone cheetah" Haraka said

"What could possibly go wrong?" Haraka added

Haraka entered his den seeing two lions an elephant and a hornbill.

"Hello there Haraka, It's me Mheetu" Mheetu greeted

"You said that like it explains why they are four different animals in the dark inside my den" Haraka said

"Haraka we are forming the new Lion Guard" Mheetu explained

"What's that?" Haraka asked

"A team! We will be the protectors of the pridelands and you could be the fastest!" Mheetu exclaimed

"That feels like an oversimplification.." Haraka replied

"It's a team with the fastest bravest fiercest strongest and the keenest of sight i mean just think about it we could hang out together beat some hyenas togethe-"

"Stop right there! I'm already in!" Haraka interrupted

"You are? Just like that?" Malka asked

"Yeah.. I need friends" Haraka replied

"Well great!" Mheetu said

"So what are we going to do? Beat up some hyenas? Or do some other cool stuff?" Haraka asked

"Maybe?" Malka replied

"How many people are in this team?" Haraka asked

"Five and you're the last we're complete" Malka replied

"Oh.." Haraka said


"Alright as the Lion Guard we have to look out for danger since it could happen in every moment" Malka said

"Malka!" Mufasa called

"Oh.. That's my dad I have to go" Malka said

"That doesn't sound right.." Haraka said

"Here he is, he said he is trying to form the new Lion Guard he even asked us about it" Chumvi said

"Well thanks for informing me Chumvi you and Tojo can go now" Mufasa replied

"Malka is that true?" Mufasa asked

"Y-yes" Malka stuttered

"And why did you?" Mufasa asked

"I-i just found out about it... And as the secondborn I was excited about it" Malka replied

"Malka what you did was unacceptable, you aren't ready yet you cannot lead the lion guard by your choice only the great Kings in the stars will decide on when will you be ready for it" Mufasa said

"But I am ready! My lion guard is complete Mheetu is the bravest Haraka is the fastest Gumu is the strongest and Juu is the keenest of sight!" Malka complained

"Malka the lion guard is also not something you should take as a game! You recruited 3 non lions for your Lion Guard!" Mufasa replied

"W-what is wrong with that?" Malka asked

"The Lion Guard has always been made with Lions do you expect only 2 Lions can protect the pridelands?" Mufasa asked

"But dad lis-"

"Malka the lion guard is not a game that you just found out and play with your friends, it is real and a role that you might take in the near future when you are ready the circle of life and your life will depend on who's on your team" Mufasa snapped

"Malka next time if you are actually ready to lead the lion guard in the near future, you should take it seriously not as a game for cubs" Mufasa added before leaving

"But I do take it seriously.." Malka whispered

"Hey Malka! There's still a chance right?" Mheetu asked

"Maybe you should give your friend some alone time" Haraka said

"I don't get it" Malka snapped "I'm ready to lead the Lion Guard, besides what's so wrong with having non lions on it?"

"You know what.. Maybe he is right maybe I am not ready yet.." Malka said with a sad tone

"Malka..."

A Lion appeared in the clouds which is none other than Askari

"Who-who are you?" Malka asked hoping that he isn't hallucinating since he is talking to a cloud

"I am Askari the first leader of the Lion Guard" Askari greeted

"Yo-you are?" Malka asked

"Yes Malka and I have been watching you, You are about to have a great journey as the new leader of the Lion Guard" Askari replied

"I'm not sure Dad is going let me lead the Lion Guard he is worried that I can't handle it" Malka said

"Malka Mufasa is worried but he is worried because he loves you being the leader of the lion guard will not always be easy" Askari explained

"Then maybe Dad is right maybe I am not ready" Malka mumbled

"Don't be worried Malka trust your instincts the roar will be there for you when you need it so will I, Until the pridelands end" Askari said before vanishing

"Wait! Don't go yet!" Malka begged however it is too late

"The roar? What does he mean by the roar?" Malka asked himself

"Malka!" Zazu called

"Zazu?" Malka said

"Malka where's your father? This is bad real bad!" Zazu said in panic

"Calm down what's going on?" Malka asked

"Simba has gone into the elephant graveyard! He and Nala are in great danger!" Zazu exclaimed

"This is it! This is my time to show everyone that I am worthy to be the leader of the lion guard I have to go now" Malka said before running

"Malka? Malka? Oh no not him too!" Zazu exclaimed

"Lion Guard we have to go now! fast!" Malka exclaimed

"Didn't your father just said that we aren't allowed to be in the lion guard?" Gumu asked

"That's just what he thinks.. Come on we have to go now my brother is in danger! Please just listen to me" Malka begged

"Well I mean it is time to save someone and that is what the lion guard is for" Gumu said

"I agree with the elephant we need to help someone in need" Haraka insisted

"Me too" Juu agreed

"Well let's go now before it's too late!" Mheetu exclaimed

"Till the pridelands end"

"Lion Guard Defend"


"Kitty kitty.." The hyenas

Simba responded with a roar that made the hyenas laugh

"Wait? That was it? Shenzi and the hyenas laughed

"Do it again come on" Shenzi teased

"Hey! Come fight someone on your own Size!" Malka said

"Malka?" Simba gasped

"Mheetu?" Nala gasped

"And what are you going to do? Kill us with your cuteness?" Shenzi joked while the rest of the hyenas laughed

"the roar will be there for you"

"The roar will be there for you" Malka said

"What?" Mheetu asked in confusion

Malka roared and it wasn't a normal roar it was the roar of the elders! The roar was powerful enough to send the hyenas flying everyone was shocked at what they just witnessed!

After the roar the mark of the guard started to show up in the guard's shoulders it was very unexpected even Malka himself was speechless.

"Malka how did you do that?" Simba asked

"No this cannot be he is not related to the royal family how is this possible?" Scar whispered while he just watched the whole thing

"W-was that the roar of the elders?" Mufasa asked himself

"Wait.. Malka!" Mufasa exclaimed

Mufasa showed up in the elephant graveyard however it wasn't needed the hyenas are gone however his children have alot of explaining to do

"Dad I-" Simba tried to explained

"You Deliberately disobeyed me" Mufasa snapped

"Dad I'm sorry" Simba apologized

"Let's go home, and Malka you too" Mufasa commanded

"Well at least we saved someone in need" Haraka said

"Bye guys maybe I could see you all tomorrow it was fun" Malka continued

"Yeah we'll see you soon" Juu said before the rest of the guard were also on there way home

"Oh mom is going to be very angry" Mheetu whispered teasing his sister


"Zazu!"

"Yes sire?" Zazu said

"Take Nala and Mheetu home I have to teach my children a lesson" Mufasa said

Simba and Malka hid in the grass, Mufasa is always scary when he is angry...

"Mheetu and Nala come with me" Zazu said

"And you two.. Good luck" Zazu said before leaving

"Boys!" Mufasa called

"Yes dad?" The two stuttered

"Simba I'm very disappointed at you" Mufasa said

"I know.." Simba said with a weak tone

"You could have been killed you deliberately disobeyed me and what's worse you put Nala in danger if it wasn't for your brother I might not be in time to save you!" Mufasa snapped

"I just wanted to brave like you.." Simba sobbed

"And Malka" Mufasa said

"Yes?" Malka replied

"I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier" Mufasa apologised

"Really?" Malka asked

"You made me proud today you proved yourself to be worthy to be the new leader of the Lion Guard you can go home now" Mufasa said with a happy tone

"Really? Yes! Thanks Dad!" Malka cheered in joy and left immediately

"And Simba... I'm only brave when I have to be, Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble" Mufasa said


"It's not funny Ed!" Banzai complained

Ed just laughed maniacally as a response

"Hey shut up!" Banzai protested

The two started to fight

"Will you two knock it off?" Shenzi said trying to stop the fight

"Well he started it" Banzai said while Ed is just biting his own leg

"Look at you guys no wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain" Shenzi complained

"Man I hate dangling" Banzai complained

"Yeah if it weren't for those lions we'd be running the joint" Shenzi replied

"Man I hate lions!" Banzai complained

"They're pushy" Shenzi said

"And hairy" Banzai added

"And stinky" Shenzi added

"And man are they UUUGLY" The two said

"Oh surely we lions aren't all that bad" Scar showed up

"Oh Scar it's just you" Banzai said

"We were afraid it was somebody important" Shenzi said

"You know like Malka and that roar.. What happened again?" Banzai said

"I see" Scar replied

"Now that's power" Banzai said

"Tell me about it, I just hear that name and I shudder" Shenzi said

"Malka!" Banzai said

"Ooohh, do it again" Shenzi requested

Banzai started saying his name twice and the hyenas started to laugh

"I'm surrounded by idiots" Scar said

"Not you Scar, I mean you're one of us you're our pal" Shenzi said

"Charmed" Scar replied

"Oh I like that! He is not king but he is still so proper!" Shenzi said

"Hey did ya bring us anything to eat Scar? Old buddy old pal did ya did ya did ya?" Banzai begged

"I don't think you really deserve this I practically gift wrapped those cubs for you, and you couldn't even dispose of them" Scar said dropping a meat to feed the hyenas

"Well ya know, it wasn't exactly they was alone Scar" Shenzi said

"Yeah what are we supposed to do now? Kill the King?" Banzai asked

"No!" Scar hissed leaving the hyenas confused

"If we do that now it would be useless the newly formed lion guard will just send us flying away in the skies!" Scar explained

"So what exactly should we do?" Shenzi asked

"Malka is not related to the royal family he is an adopted cub and Mufasa still hasn't told him about it" Scar concluded

"So are you suggesting that we should kill Malka?" Shenzi asked

"No! Because he will be on our side, it is time for Malka to get his own Scar and tell him the truth!" Scar announced


This is it for Chapter one this is a very very different story since I actually wrote Malka as Simba's adopted brother like in the comics and made him the leader of the lion guard.

The concept here is that what if there was a lion guard during the events of the first movie? Things could have been very different.
