The Lion Guard: Protecting Machufa

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

“Reirei’s Pack is attacking Machufa.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at Lake Kizwia.” Ono answered.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Lake Kizwia.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave him alone, Reirei!” Kion called.

Reirei chuckled.

“Did we make a mistake?” Reirei asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Machufa 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 Machufa.

“Are you okay?” Kion asked.

Machufa nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” Machufa said.

“You’re welcome.” Fuli said.

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, darling.” Nala said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Simba said.
