The Lion Guard: Protecting Jelani

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Kilio Valley.

"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.

“Janja’s Clan is attacking Jelani.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” 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 him alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“He’s just one mandrill.” Janja said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Jelani 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 Jelani.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Jelani nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” He said.

“You’re welcome.” Bunga said.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“Daddy was attacked.” Nita said.

Rafiki glanced up.

“Is Kora all right?” He asked.

Nita nodded.

“The Guard saved him.” She said.
