The Lion Guard: Defending Tiifu

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Mzingo's Parliament is attacking Tiifu." He said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where?" Beshte asked.

"The Water Hole." Ono answered.

Kion led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave her alone, Mzingo!" He called.

Mzingo chuckled.

"Why should we?" He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She gently pushed Tiifu towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Mzingo's Parliament toppling backwards.

Once they'd flown off, Kion turned to Tiifu.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Tiifu nodded.

"Thank you." She said.

Kion moved forward, and pressed his muzzle against her foreleg.

"I love you" Kion said.

"I love you too" Tiifu answered.

From beside them, Fuli cleared her throat.

"Can I come see Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

He and Fuli bade goodbye to their friends, and followed Tiifu to Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi Fuli." She said excitingly.

Tiifu chuckled.

She watched Fuli move forward to nuzzle Mari.
