The Lion Guard: Protecting Rock

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Ma?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Bunga 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 Rock.” He said.

“Who’s that?” Bunga asked.

“He’s someone Midnight knows.” Kion said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they, Ono?” 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.

“Get out of the Pridelands!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Rock 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 Rock.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

“Yes, I’m fine.” Rock snapped.

He turned, and bounded off.

“That wasn’t very polite.” Bunga said.

“Nita says he’s always like that.” Kion said.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.
