The Lion Guard: Defending Loved Ones

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

Kion's expression softened.

"She's fine" he answered.

"What's she been doing?" Beshte asked.

"Spending time with Nai Nai" Kion replied.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and took to the sky.

Hs returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"Janja is attacking Kenai and Kia" Ono reported.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Come on, Lion Guard" he said.

"Where are they, Ono?" Fuli asked.

"The Meadow" Ono answered.

Kion nodded, and led his friends to The Meadow.

When they reached the Meadow, they found Kenai and Kia cornered against the baobab tree.

Kion turned to Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and they crept forward.

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

"Janja!, leave Kenai and Kia alone!" He shouted.

Janja cackled.

"Says who?" He asked.

Kion glazed at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and darted forward.

She grasped Kia's scruff, and rushed back to Kion.

Kenai followed her.

Kion watched Fuli set Kia down, and bent over her.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Kia nodded.

"I'm fine" she said.

Kenai cleared his throat.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Kenai nodded.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"I'll take care of them" Fuli said.

Kion padded forward.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar of the Elders.

It sent Janja toppling backwards.
