The Lion Guard: Helping Basi

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood 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 Basi’s Pod.” Ono said.

Kion exchanged a glance with Beshte.

“Where are they?” Beshte asked.

“They’re at Big Springs.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to Big Springs.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave them alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja chuckled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led the pod 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 Basi.

“Is everyone okay?” Kion asked.

Basi nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” Basi said.

“You’re welcome.” Fuli said.

Her expression softened as Beshte pressed himself against Basi’s side.

“I love you, Dad.” Beshte said.

“I love you too.” Basi answered.

Beshte glanced at Kion.

“Can I go home with them?” He asked.

Kion nodded.

“You don’t have to ask.” Kion said.

“Thanks, Kion.” Beshte said.

Kion watched Basi and Beshte begin to lead the pod to Big Springs.

Fuli rubbed her muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki answered.

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

“I love you.” Nita said quietly.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said gently.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.
