The Lion Guard: Protecting Leaf

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

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 Leaf.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Zuberi River.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Zuberi River.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Mzingo!” He called.

Mzingo chuckled.

“It’s already been put to a vote.” He said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Leaf 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.

Kion watched them fly towards the border.

He glanced at Leaf.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Leaf nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard:” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Bunga said.

Beshte cleared his throat.

“If you’d like, I’ll take you home.” He said.

“Okay” Leaf said.

Beshte knelt down, and Fuli helped Leaf climb onto his back.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
