The Lion Guard: Protecting Midnight

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Janja's Clan is attacking Midnight." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

"They’re at Lake Matope." Ono answered.

"Come on, Lion Guard." Kion said.

He led the way to Lake Matope.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave her alone, Janja!" He called.

Janja cackled.

"She's just an old badger." He said.

"She's also my friend." Kion snapped.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Midnigt towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Janja's Clan toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stumble towards the border.

He glanced at Midnight.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Midnight nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard." She said.

"You're welcome." Fuli answered.

She and Kion watched Midnight bound off.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

"I caught a bushbuck." Kia said brightly.

Kenai purred.

"That's wonderful." He said warmly.
