The Lion Guard: Protecting Ona

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

“How's your family, Kion?" Beshte asked.

"Everyone's fine." Kion said.

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 Ona.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“She’s the same age as Mari.” Kion said.

“Where are they, Ono?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Water Hole.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Janja!” Kion called.

Janja cackled.

“She’s just a little hamerkop.” Janja said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She nudged Ona 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 Ona.

“Are you okay?” He asked gently.

Ona nodded.

“Thanks.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Ono said.

Beshte stepped forward.

“I’ll take you home.” He said.

“Okay.” Ona said.

Beshte knelt down, and Fuli helped Ona climb onto his back.

“Make sure Kulinda knows that she’s okay.” Kion said.

Beshte nodded.

Kion watched Beshte head towards Hapuna Valley.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.
