The Lion Guard: Defeating Mzingo

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's your family?" Beshte asked.

"Everyone's fine" Kion answered.

He 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 Leaf" he said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Bunga asked.

"Lake Matope" Ono answered.

Kion nodded, and led his friends to Lake Matope.

When they arrived, Kion saw Mzingo advancing on Leaf.

He bounded forward.

"Mzingo! Leave her alone" he called.

Mzingo chuckled.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli moved forward, and gently grasped Leaf.

She settled behind Kion.

Kion braced himself and performed the Roar.

It sent Mzingo and his vultures toppling backwards.

Kion turned to Leaf.

"You okay?" He asked.

Leaf nodded.

"Thanks" she said.

Fuli set her down, and she bounded off.

"Can I come to Pride Rock?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

He and Fuli bade goodbye to their friends, and headed for Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Kion led Fuli into Kora and Vitani's cave.

Immediately, Mari rushed forward, and bowled Fuli over.

Kion chuckled.

He watched Fuli nuzzle Marigold's cheek.

"How are you, Mari?" He asked.

"I'm glad you're both here" Mari answered.

Kion rubbed a paw against Mari's cheek.

"We're glad too" he said warmly.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"Belee caught a finch today" Kiara said.

Kovu's expression brightened.

"I'm so proud of her, and Kia too" he said.

"I am too" Kiara purred.

She rubbed her muzzle against Kovu's cheek.

"I love you" she murmured.

"I love you too" Kovu said.

He extended a paw, and Kiara nestled into his embrace.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"Belee caught a finch" Kia said.
