The Lion Guard: Protecting Bracken

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine" Kion answered.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Reirei's Pack is attacking Bracken" Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they, Ono?" Bunga asked.

"Lake Kizwia" Ono answered.

"Come on, Lion Guard" Kion said.

He led the way to Lake Kizwia.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave him alone, Reirei!" He called.

Reirei glanced up.

"Did we make a mistake, Kion?" She asked.

Fuli groaned.

Kion glanced at her.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She grasped Bracken, and moved to stand behind Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Reirei's Pack toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stumble towards the border.

He turned to Bracken.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Bracken nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard" Bracken said.

"You're welcome" Bunga said.

Fuli set Bracken down, and he scampered off.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Kiara had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine" Kiara said.

She rubbed her muzzle against Kovu's.

"I love you, Kovu" Kiara purred.

"I love you too" Kovu answered.
