The Lion Guard: Defending Swala

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Ma?" Beshte 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 Swala.” 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 her alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Swala 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  Swala.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Swala nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Bunga said.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita said.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

“I love you.” Nita said quietly.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said.
