The Lion Guard: Protecting Dalila

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Basi?" Bunga asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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 Dalila.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at Lake Kizwia.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to Lake Kizwia.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Dalila 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 Dalila.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Dalila nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Bunga said.

Dalila turned, and bounded off.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

“Do you want to visit Mari?” He asked.

Fuli nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” Marigold said brightly.

Fuli’s expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

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

Marigold nodded.
