The Lion Guard: Protecting Clea

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine. She sends her love" 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.

"Janja's Clan is attacking Princess Clea" he said.

Instantly, Kion stood up and turned to his friends.

"Let's go save my sister" he said.

"She's your sister-in-law, Kion" Bunga said.

"Shush Bunga"  Fuli snapped.

One led the way to Hapuna Valley.

When they reached Hapuna Valley, Kion saw Clea cornered against a baobab tree.

He rushed forward, and unsheathed his claws.

"Leave her alone, Janja!" He snapped.

Janja cackled.

"She could be of use to me. Her mate was of use to my brother-in-law" he said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She gently began pushing Clea 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.

Once they had scampered off, Kion rushed up to Clea.

He rubbed his muzzle against her foreleg.

"Are you okay?" He asked anxiously.

Clea rubbed a paw against his cheek.

"I'm fine, Kion" she said gently.

"I love you" Kion murmured.

"Darling one, I love you too" Clea answered.

Fuli cleared her throat.

"Can I accompany you back to Pride Rock to see Mari?" She asked.

Clea nodded.

"I'm sure she'd love to see you" she said.

Fuli and Kion bade goodbye to their friends, before heading back to Pride Rock with Clea.

When they reached Pride Rock, Mari rushed out to greet them.

"Hi" Mari said brightly.

She pressed her muzzle against Fuli's foreleg.

Fuli leaned down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.
