Chapter 7 the Coalition
It started when several antelope were poached. They we heard rumors of another pride of lions being attacked in the Kingdoms of the West. We heard that there was a coalition of 6 male lions who destroyed everything in their path. They were called the Coalition. They killed all male lions and any females lionesses who would not mate with them. They were brutal with their mating often injuring the lionesses. They would come into a pride without warning and decimate it. Four of the male lions had been killed by some of the prides neighboring Simba's kingdom. But the two toughest lions Pretty Boy and Kinky Tail were headed towards the Pridelands. They sent a lioness to warn Simba to surrender his lionesses to them and he would be spared. They even wanted to get Kiara, Nala and especially Vitani. Pretty Bo y really wanted her. Vitani was having none of that. Kelly the lioness with the Coalition spoke to us.
"King Simba, your life will be spared if your surrender. Kinky Tail and Pretty Boy will be cokings. You may take three lionesses with you. Kinky Tail would like to marry your daughter. Pretty Boy wants Vitani. If you agree to these terms, you can start a new pride with Kovu and Nala or any lioness you choose except Kiara and Vitani!"
"Tell Pretty Boy, I will not surrender my daughter or any other lioness to him. We will fight to the death if we have to!'
"Very well! "Kelly replied. " But you will not win and many lions will die!"
Simba had us all training brutally. We trained to fight in units. Vitani led the training and she was as tough as her mother although she treated us okay. She was harsh and demanding and Simba allowed it. She acted like a general which obviously she was. She had me practice goring and bowling lionesses. which I honed with some skill. She had me try to bowl Simba and Kovu. We had to know how to attack lions. Timon was always riding me leading the charge. Vitani did not like him around me because she thought Timon was too distracting. She put up with Timon because she thought I needed him which I did. Unfortunately, Timon got hurt and broke his ankle. He stayed at Rafiki's tree.
So now I was stuck fighting the Coalition by myself. Pretty Boy and Kinky Tail showed up. They simply walked into the Pridelands and demanded that Simba surrender the lionesses and his kingdom. Simba had sent some of us away to prepare for the invasion. Simba told the two lions to leave. The next day they invaded the Pridelands but we were ready for them. I fought alongside Kovu, Simba, Nala, and even Kiara. I did not speak to anyone but just obeyed orders. I decided if I lived through this that I would improve my relationship with Simba. I was going to ask him how he really felt about me. If he thought I was a burden, I would go back to the oasis and live with the meerkat colony. Vitani led another faction and her lionesses managed to kill Kinky Tail. Unfortunately, Pretty Boy was the biggest and most deadly lion of the group. He came at Kovu, Simba, and I with two lionesses at his side. Kovu managed to lead the two lionesses away from us and I gored one of them and killed her. Kovu fought the other one. Then Simba chased by Pretty Boy ran toward the gorge where the wildebeest stampede had killed Mufasa years this time Pretty Boy and Simba fought. Simba was very tired and was no match for the bigger lion. Simba fell to the ground with Pretty Boy hovering above Boy swiped Simba with his claws and stood over him ready to strike again. Both lions were near the cliffs of the gorge.
"You kingdom and your lionesses are mine. Your wife and daughter will be my concubines and Vitani will be my Queen. If these lionesses resist, I will kill them. But I will kill you first.! You are mine Simba! You have no kingdom left! You are no longer King of the Pridelands!"
By this time I was boiling mad. I had had enough of this arrogant beast and the whole coalition. He was not going to kill my boy.
"You won't kill any more lions, today Buffalo Butt! Not if I can help it!" I shouted. "Keep you paws off of my boy! "
Pretty Boy laughed. "No stupid pig with a wet backside is going to be able to fight me!"
"Are you talking to me?! Are you talking to ME!? They call me MISTER PIG!" I charged at Pretty Boy and gored him. Unfortunately he fell over the cliff of the gorge with me on top of him. I hit the bottom of the gorge and slipped into darkness.
