The Lion Guard: Defending Vuruga Vuruga

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"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.

“Vuruga Vuruga is being attacked.” Ono said.

“Who’s attacking her?” Beshte asked.

“Reirei’s Pack.” Ono said.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

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

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Reirei!” He called.

Reirei chuckled.

“Did we make a mistake?” She asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Vuruga Vuruga towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Reirei’s Pack toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stumble towards the border.

He glanced at Vuruga Vuruga.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Vuruga Vuruga nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Beshte said.

Kion moved forward, and pressed his muzzle against Vuruga Vuruga’s foreleg.

“I love you.” Kion said quietly.

Vuruga Vuruga’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” She said.

She knelt down, and pressed her cheek against Kion’s.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you.” Nala said.

“I love you too.” Simba answered.
