The Lion Guard: Helping Kenai

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She wants to see you." Kion answered.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I'll come over soon." She said warmly.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Makuu's Float is attacking Kenai." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

"They're at the Water Hole." Ono answered.

"Come on, Lion Guard." Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave him alone, Makuu!" He called.

Makuu chuckled.

"If you use the Roar, you'll hurt your nephew." He said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She gently pushed Kenai towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Makuu's Float toppling backwards.

Kion watched Makuu’s Float stalk off.

Kion sighed.

"I knew Makuu couldn't be trusted." He said.

He glanced at Kenai.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Kenai nodded.

"Thanks, Lion Guard." He said.

"You're welcome." Bunga answered.

Fuli cleared her throat.

"Do you want us to take you home?" She asked.

Kenai nodded.

Kion and Fuli bade goodbye to their friends, and led Kenai back to Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi Fuli!" Mari said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” She asked.

Marigold nodded.

She glanced at Kenai.

“Are you okay, Kenai?” She asked.

Kenai and Kion exchanged a glance.

“I’m fine, Mari” Kenai answered.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Will Midnight be at Kupatana?" She asked.

Rafiki nodded.
