The Lion Guard: Protecting Mzaha

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Ameba, Fuli?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine" Fuli answered.

She curled her tail around Kion's shoulders.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Mzingo's Parliament is attacking Mzaha" Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where?" Bunga asked.

"Lake Matope" Ono answered.

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

He led the way to Lake Matope.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave him alone, Mzingo!" He called.

Mzingo chuckled.

"It's been decided, Kion" Mzingo said.

Fuli groaned.

She moved forward, and gently pushed Mzaha towards Beshte.

Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Mzingo's Parliament flying backwards.

Once they'd flown off, Kion turned to Mzaha.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Mzaha nodded.

"Thanks, Lion Guard" Mzaha said.

"You're welcome" Beshte answered.

Mzaha turned, and bounded off.

Kion felt Fuli rub her muzzle against his cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" She said excitingly.

Kion's expression softened.

He moved forward, and bent to nuzzle Mari's cheek.

"How are you, Mari?" Kion asked.

"I'm glad you're here" Marigold answered.

Fuli moved forward, and bent to press her muzzle against Mari's cheek.

"I'm so glad to see you" Fuli said warmly.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Kiara had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine" Kiara answered.

She rubbed her muzzle against Kovu's cheek.

"I love you" Kiara said.

"I love you too" Kovu purred.
