The Lion Guard: Protecting Basi

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Ameba?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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 Basi.” Ono said.

Kion and Beshte 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, Reirei!” He called.

Reirei chuckled.

“Did we make a mistake?” Reirei asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Basi 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 Basi.

“Are youokay?” 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.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.
