The Lion Guard: Protecting Kesho

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's your family, Kion?" Fuli asked.

"Everyone's fine." Kion said.

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 Kesho.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“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.

“Leave him alone, Janja!” Kion called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Kesho 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 Kesho.

“Are you okay?” Kion asked.

Kesho nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” Kesho said.

“You’re welcome.” Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kesho’s cheek.

“I love you, Dad.” Fuli said.

Kesho’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Kesho said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"Did the hunt go well?" Simba asked.

Nala nodded.
