The Lion Guard: Defeating Makucha

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Kilio Valley.

"How's Ma?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Bunga answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

“Someone’s attacking Leaf.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Who is it?” Kion asked.

“I don’t know.” Ono answered.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Water Hole.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Get out of the Pridelands!” He called.

Makucha glanced up.

“I’m Makucha. If you want me to go, you're going to have to make me.” Makucha said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Leaf towards Beshte.

Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Makucha toppling backwards.

Kion watched him stumble towards the border.

He glanced at Leaf.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Leaf nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Bunga said.

Beshte cleared his throat.

“If you’d like, I’ll take you home.” He said.

“Okay” Leaf said.

Beshte knelt down, and Fuli helped Leaf climb onto his back.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at hois tree.

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.
