The Lion Guard: Protecting A Sister

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Fuli asked.

“They’re 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 Princess Kiara.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Kion 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!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” Janja asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Kiara 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 Kiara.

“Are you okay?” Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” Kiara said.

“You’re welcome, Kiara.” Beshte said.

Kion moved forward, and pressed himself against Kiara’s foreleg.

“I love you.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Kiara said.

She rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I’m not going anywhere, darling.” Kiara said gently.

Fuli cleared her throat.

“Can I visit Mari?” Fuli asked.

Kion and Kiara exchanged a glance.

“It’s fine with me.” Kiara said.

Kion and Fuli bade goodbye to their friends, and followed Kiara towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” She called.

She stopped suddenly as she caught sight of Kiara.

“What happened to Aunt Kiara?” She asked.

Kion and Kiara exchanged a glance.

“I’m fine, darling.” Kiara said.

Fuli moved forward, and knelt down to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said warmly.

She led Mari into Kora and Vitani’s cave.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

“I caught an antelope.” Kia said.

Kenai leaned over, and nuzzled Kia’s cheek.

“That’s wonderful, Kia.” Kenai said.
