The Lion Guard: Protecting Thurston

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in the Flood Plains.

"How's Ma?" Fuli 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 Thurston.” 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 him alone, Janja!” Kion called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Thurston 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 Thurston.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Thurston nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” He said.

“You’re welcome.” Fuli said.

“I must get back to Muhimu.” Thurston said.

He turned, and trotted off.

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.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

Kia nodded.

“I caught an antelope.” Kia said.

“That’s wonderful.” Kenai said warmly.
