The Lion Guard: Protecting A Nephew

It was peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine" Kion said.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and took to the sky.

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

"Mzingo and his vultures are attacking Kenai" he reported.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Let's go, Lion Guard" Kion said.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

"The Meadow" Ono said.

"Lead the way, Ono" Bunga said.

Ono nodded, and led the way to the Meadow.

When they reached it, Kion saw Mzingo cornering Kenai against the baobab tree.

Instantly, Kion padded forward.

"Mzingo!, leave Kenai alone!" He shouted.

Mzingo chuckled.

"Why should I?" He asked. I

Fuli and Beshte exchanged a glance.

Kion glanced at Fuli, and nodded.

"Go get Kenai" he said.

Fuli nodded, and darted forward.

She grasped Kenai's scurf, and rushed back to Kion's side.

"Lead the others away" Kion said.

Fuli inclined her head, and led their friends away.

Kion turned back to Mzingo.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Mzingo and his vultures toppling backwards.

Kion watched them fly off, before rejoining his friends.

"Are you okay, Kenai?" He asked.

Kenai nodded.

"I'm fine" he said.

"Go on home, I'll see you later" Kion said.

Kenai nodded, and darted off.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Mari keeps asking Nana about learning how to hunt" Nita said.

"What has Queen Nala said?" Rafiki asked.

"She says Mari's not old enough, and she's right" Nita answered.
