The Lion Guard: Defending A Niece

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Ma?" Fuli asked.

"Grandma’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.

“Makuu’s Float is attacking Belee.” 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, Makuu!” He called.

Makuu chuckled.

“If you use the Roar, you could hurt your niece.” He said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Belee towards Beshte.

Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Makuu’s Float toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stalk off.

He glanced at Belee.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Kia nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Fuli said warmly.

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

“I love you, Belee.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Belee answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

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

“I love you, Rafiki.” Nita said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said.
