A hot tub was a perfect thing to wake up in the morning, even for a lion cub like Kion. He was out on another patrol with his closest friends to look for any more trouble out on the Pride Lands, and, it was just Janja and his clan on the loose, trying to eat a couple of impala led by Natho, who had the longest horns and was the bulkiest of his herd.
"Give me a break," Fuli complained under her breath. "Again with Janja?"
"I know, it's getting annoying." Kion agreed with her with his eyes narrowed. "But still, it's our job to orotedt the Pride Lands from any danger."
Bunga was the next to talk, and he said: "Kion's right, we gotta stop him and his friends from terrorizing the impala."
And so, the kids did just that. They went up to the annoying clan of hyenas and tried to stop their little reign of terror. "Oh you kids again?" Said Chungu.
"Don't you know when to give up?" Said Janja.
"Yeah! You are just a bunch of kids playing pretend!" Said Cheezi.
Kion narrowed his eyes at them with a sneer, and he said: "we all know that's not true. Now, go back to the Outlands where you came from, or suffer the consequences." He readied his claws, and he was more than ready to use his legendary Roar of the Elders if needed.
"I think we'll go back after we have had our lunch." Said the leader.
"Then, you leave us no choice." Said Beshte. The Lion Guard charged and another battle ensued between the sides. As usual, Kion was battling with Janja himself and they were swiping their claws at one another.
Now, the thing was, while Lions are far more successful hunters than spotted hyenas, their bites were not as strong as hyenas, for those animals had one of the strongest bite forces in the animal kingdom, and that was why Kion had to he careful when coming face-to-face with an adult spotted hyena like Janja and his cronies.
Kion managed to claw his face with a powerful rake, making blood spill from the right side of his face. Janja looked mighty mad at what Kion just did and pounced on him, trying to bite on his skull. If he got his teeth on Kion's head, he would easily crush it with his strong teeth like biting on a stick or a twig. The cub tilted his head to and fro whenever Janja tried to bite his head, and he knew he couldn't dodge that forever.
Ultimately, Kion kicked him in the belly with his two legs, knocking him on his back in the dirt with a grunt and a loud thud. "You're gonna wish you haven't done that to me, Kion!" he shouted as he got back up. Ironically, Janja found himself being tackled by Simba's son and tumbled into the grass with him like a ball or a tumbleweed.
Fuli and Beshte were fighting off Chungu, and Ono and Bunga were fighting off Cheezi. "Gah! You stupid runts are really annoying!" said the crazy hyena lackey
"Ask anyone." said Ono before swooping down on Cheezi.
Chungu was fighting a little more better, mostly because of his strength and thicker coat than his comrades. He charged and butted heads with the young hippo, growling at one another. The young hippo was eventually victorious when he pushed Chungu to the ground, and Cheezi managed to claw at Fuli on the left side of her body, but Fuli managed to land a fury of rakes from her own claws, and the cowardly, maniacal hyena managed to run off while yelping like a scared dog, and Chungu immediately did the same thing.
"Oh you pair of cowards!" Janja called out to them. Turning back to the Lion Guard, he growled at them all in complete hatred and anger. "Graah! I'll take care of you guys myself!"
"It's over, Janja." Said Kion. "Just go back to the Outlands now."
"I'm really getting tired of you guys ruining everything for me and my boys! I'll kill you all!" Janja charged one last time and she was pounced on by a lioness. "What the?"
"Leave him alone." She said. It was Rani.
"Not another lion to stop me!" Kion used the Roar of the Elders, blowing Janja away into the Outlands. He will certainly be in for a rough landing when he falls to the ground.
Kion and his friends looked at one another with a satisfied look on their faces. Another battle had won for them and the side of good and heroic.
"Thank you so much for saving us, Lion Guard." Said Natho, coming to meet the kids. "And, who are you, child?" He referred to Rani obviously.
"I am Rani of the Night Pride." She replied boldly. "And a new friend of the king's son."
"Rani. I know you have only arrived on the scene, but me and my fellow impala Thank you for your fearless and brave contribution against Janja and his clan of evil hyenas."
"That's what that guy's name is?" She asked. "Must be a common enemy out here."
"Janja and his clan are a nuisance to everyone out here in the Pride Lands, and he doesn't believe in the Circle of Life and how it works." Said Kion. "But still, I thank you for that help."
"What are you doing here?" Asked Bunga.
"I wanted Kion to meet my parents and my pride."
"Have you told them about me?" Asked the cub.
"Yep, and your friends, too." The lioness replied. "They said they really want to meet you guys." Kion and his cronies looked a little nervous about this, and felt a little uneasy about that idea. "What's wrong?"
Kion spoke: "I'm just a little nervous, and I don't know what to think of them."
"Don't worry. They are humble, loyal, and noble. Of course, my mom and dad are a little... strict at times, but, they are very good lions and very understandund. Come on, they really want to meet you, Kion."
"Yeah. That's true. I guess a little visit wouldn't hurt. Are they in the Back Lands?"
Rani nodded her head a Yes to him. "Uh-huh. You will like them."
While looking a little nervous and uncertain, the kids ultimately agreed to follow Rani to her home and meet the possible rulers of the Back Lands.
