Battle for Chima

The **Battle for Chima** (also known as the **First Battle for Chima**) was a big war-like Battle that happened in *Lego Legends of Chima*. It deals with the good tribes of Chima fighting against the bad tribes of Chima who have banded together to steal all the chi from Chima by attacking the Lion Temple. The battle takes place in the first two episodes of Season 1, "The Legend of Chima" and "The Great Story."

## History

### Background

It all started within a place called Chima which was a magical land populated by anthropomorphic animal tribes who were transformed from regular animals due to the magical powers of Chi that contained the full power of nature which flowed down from water falls over the Lion Temple from a floating mountain called Mount Cavora that ounce bursted out of the ground. The Chi had the power to make animals stronger and smarter but only after they had reached a certain age to handle the power which was known as the Age of Becoming. However, there some animals who choose not to drink the Chi and disappeared into the Outlands of Chima. These animals were known as the Legend Beasts and were said to only return when Chima needed them most. It also started with the Lion Prince, Laval and his best friend the Crocodile Prince, Cragger. They were inseparable friends until one day they both sneaked into the Lion Temple to see the Sacred Pool where all the Chi was kept. When they got there Cragger wanted to use some of the Chi before his Age of Becoming even though Laval warned him not to, but Cragger used it anyway which causes him to go berserk as he could not handle the power until Laval's father, King Lagravis stopped him. Afterwards, Lagravis called Cragger's parents, King Crominus and Queen Crunket and told them what happened which made them both furious at Lagravis for hurting Craggger so they went to the Lion Temple with their army to talk to him. When they arrived, Lagravis wanted to settle the dispute with an apology from Cragger but Crominus and Crunket wanted the apology to come from Lagravis and Laval because they believed it was Laval's fault that Cragger took the Chi to early and went berserk. This led to a big argument between the Lion and the Crocodiles until the Crocodiles all left claiming that it wasn't over and Laval was punished by Lagravis by being sent to his room while Crominus and Cragger wouldn't let Cragger play with the Lions anymore. Sometime later, Cragger started playing with Woriz and later told him about the power he felt when he used the Chi so they both decided to sneak back into the Lion Temple to use it again but they were eventually caught. Although Woriz ran away, Cragger was stuck facing the Lion guards on his own who tried to pin the blame on Laval, but Laval showed up and countered his claim. Lagravis was going to call Cragger's parents again but in a panic, Cragger fought of the Lions and escaped from the Lion Temple on his Speedor with Laval pursuing him on his Speedor. During the chase, Cragger shot a Croc Flare which was a call to the Crocodiles to prepare for war and attack the Lions which both Cromnius and Lagravis found out about so they prepared their armies for the fight. When Laval finally caught Cragger at the Fangs, he told him about how some things are dangerous and how it's important to follow rules.

### The Battle

But then the Crocodile army arrives led by Crominus and Crunket and Cragger reveals to Laval what he did, so Cragger tries to stop his parents from attacking. But then the Lion army arrives and both sides fight each other using tanks and blasters. Cragger tries to explain everything to his parents but they don't listen and make him sit with them in their tank. Laval also tries to convince his father to stop as well but Lagravis claims that they have no choice. But then Crominus and Crunket's tank gest flipped over and tangled up which traps both them inside it but Cragger is able to get out. Suddenly, the Gorge of Eternal Depth breaks underneath the tank so Lagravis tries to pull them to safety with his tank. But Cragger cuts the rope holding the the Crocodile tank, he then tries to save his parents himself but is not strong enough so Crominus leaves Cragger in charge of the Crocodile Tribe as King but tries to warn him not to listen to his sister, Crooler. But before he could finish, the tank falls in the gorge with Crominus and Crunket who both end up getting trapped down it. This allows Cragger to fall under the persuasive manipulation of Crooler who claims to Cragger that the Lions are to blame for the loss of their parents and that they should attack them. But when Cragger refuses, Crooler uses a magic flower on him called a Persuader Plant which allows her to mind control Cragger who now prepares the Crocodiles to fight the Lions. Which he did by attacking Laval during a Speedor jousting tournament which led to the Falling Jungle but Laval's other friends Eris the Eagle and Gorzan the Gorilla helped him and sent Cragger away. But then Cragger came up with a plan to attack the Lions at the next Age of Becoming Ceremony to steal all the Chi by teaming up with Woriz and the Wolves who also hate the Lions after Laval humiliated Woriz during the Speedor jousting tournament and Razar and the Ravens who were paid into helping them through treasure. Soon the Age of Becoming arrives where Laval is suppose to take his first Chi but then Cragger leads the Crocodiles, Wolves, and Ravens to the Lion Temple where they capture Eris and attack the place using their vehicles. Then when Laval is about to take his first Chi, Cragger arrives wearing Crominus' crown and steals it along with a bag full of Chi then escapes on his Speedor so Laval who didn't know is was Cragger chases after him on his Speedor. Eventually, he catches Cragger and fights him off until the crown falls off which reveals his true face which surprises Laval. Back at the Lion Temple the Lions fights off the Crocodiles, Wolves, and Ravens then Lagravis uses his roar to call both the Eagles and Gorillas to come and help them. With the Eagles fighting by using their jets and the Gorillas by fighting using their mechs. Meanwhile, Laval tries to convince Cragger to stop but Cragger refuses because he still blames Laval for losing his parents but Laval still claims that it wasn't his fault. They both then begins fighting each other until Cragger throws Laval into the creek and walks away back to the Lion Temple with the stolen Chi. Since Laval can't swim he begins to drown but he is then saved by the Lion Legend Beast. As the Bad Tribes of Chima start to outnumber the Good Tribes of Chima, Laval arrives on the Legend Beast which surprises everyone. But Cragger then takes some Chi and tries to attack the Legend Beast but is knock away by it which causes him to lose the Chi. Laval then takes the Chi and uses it himself to beat Cragger then orders him and his army to surrender and leave. So Cragger and the Bad Tribes all leave in defeat thus ending the battle.

### Aftermath

After the battle, the Legend Beast returns to the Outlands while Lagravis expresses how proud he is of Laval for his bravery. However, although the battle was won the war was far from over as the tribes of Chima have now become divided for the pursuit of Chi. Which would lead to the Attack on Eagle Spire, the Attack of the Gorillas, and the Second Battle for Chima where Crunket would return but Crominus wouldn't until after the Battle of the Outlands.
