The Lion Guard: Protecting Azula

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked warmly.

"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.

"Reirei's Pack is attacking Azula." He said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where?" Beshte asked.

"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, Reirei!" He called.

Reirei chuckled.

"Why should we?" She asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She gently pushed Azula towards 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 glanced at Azula.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Azula nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard." Azula said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Azula's cheek.

"I'll take you back to Aunt Raksha." She said.

"Okay." Azula said.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Simba" Nala said.

"I love you too" Simba said.
