In Pride Rock, Rafiki, the wise mandrill, was helping the Lion Guard patch up their scratches and scrapes from their fight with the Lion's Bane, and it was rather a little painful. "Ah! Ah! a little too hard, Rafiki." said Kion. He was being patched up from his wounds. "Gah! I think Harif had bruised my ankle."

"My sincere apologies, Kion." said the wise mandrill. "I know this hurts a little, but, you must bear with it. This should help with your leg." then he wrapped a small bandage made of leaves around the open cut. For the cub, the pain was a little stinging, and it felt like a number of bees or scorpions stinging where Kion had been clawed there on his leg, but, if a scorpion did actually stung him with it's venomous tail, it would be worse, and it would probably kill him.

Bunga, being the honey badger he was, was feeling the least amount of pain from trying to get patched up from the cuts and bruises. A really good thing that honey badgers have their thick hides. Still, he did have some small scrapes on him, but it didn't really need any tending from that awful fight that he and his friends had just experienced.

"You all got very lucky to have survived this... attempted onslaught that this band of old foes have tried to inflict on all of you." Rafiki noted. "They could have killed you all, if not for your help coming."

"I kinda felt like we failed this fight. Usually, we always win fights." said Fuli. "And I thought we could stop them."

"Yeah, I've never felt so humiliated before like that." Beshte added, licking one of his front arms to keep it from bleeding

Simba smiled and he said: "Come on, there's no need for you to be embarrassed, kids. You all gave it your best against them."

"We know, dad."

"So, you say that some old and new foes that you faced have come together, and have chose you as your main target, am I correct?"

Kion let out a small sigh, and he replied: "Yeah. They call themselves the Lion's Bane now, and they are all trying to kill me, because they know that without me, the Roar of the Elders will be no more." He let out another sigh before adding: "i'm used to Janja and Reirei, but these guys are no pushovers."

"Who is in this little group?"

"Makucha the leopard, Mpishi the harrier hawk, Harif the nean and nasty honey badger, an exiled hippo from Beshte's pod, and an exiled gorilla. They are enemies that we encountered before, and they want revenge against us.:"

"Don't worry, Kion." Said Nala. "If they ever come back, we will make sure they stay in the Outlands."

"Yeah, if anyone wants to kill you, they will have to get through me first." Simba added.

"And me," said Kiara. "I won't let them lay one claw on you, Kion."

His friends all Said the same thing after. "No one tries to kill my brother-in-law and get away with it. Mess with my family, they mess with me." Said Kovu.

"Yeah, I'll make those guys suffer beyond suffering!" Vitani added. "I'll bury those guys up to their necks, gouge their eyes out one by one, and then leave them for the vultures or hyenas to eat." The other lions, wild dogs, rhinos, and other animals looked at her in surprise.

"I think that is a little too dark there, sister." Said Timon.

"Sorry. It... it comes from my mother." Vitani admitted.

"Thanks, guys." Said Bunga. "We know we can always count on you."

Ono was the next one to speak when he said: "I think they'll make a more crafty and smarter attack next time. They are way smarter than Janja and his clan of hyenas."

"A very good point," said Chikelu. "From what I heard about Harif, he is a nasty piece of work. Unfortunately, I cannot say much from Draak and Tuma. Me and my son heard nothing about them before until now."

"We should do a plan of attack for next time they try and come back." Suggested Kion. "And mom, dad, are you sure we didn't lose that fight?" He grunted In pain after he felt Rafimi tend to another cut on his body.

"We promise, you did not lose any fight today." Nala answered with a melancholic smile on her face. "And there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for any helping needed."

"Your mother's right, son." Simba agreed. "It shows how much of us care about you, and your friends. It is teamwork that would prevail, and, if notnfornus intervening, you and your friends would gave lost the fight."

"Yeah, no argument there, your majesty." Said Beshte.

Rafiki was done tending to everyone's scrapes and bruises and cuts, and he then said: "and do not feel down because your own foes have come together to stand up against you. No, be happy and continue doing what you all do best and do not worry about them making another attack "

Kion was silent for a little, and he thought of Rafiki's words that he was saying right now. This mandrill was a very wise and knowledgeable type of monkey, and he can abate the spirit of Mufasa himself if he felt his presence. Ultimately, he said: "yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe we can be smarter at defeating them when they ever come back to the Pride Lands again."

"I'll especially give that Makucha a gigantic world of pain!" Fuli added while gritting her teeth.

"And I can't wait to give Mpishi a piece of my mind the next time I see her."

"Ooh, I second that, Ono." Said Zazu, sounding s little thrilled. "That Mpishi is quite a piece of work, and she is a menace to many creatures of the sky, including me. I wish I can fight her myself but, I am not- hack-hack!" He began coughing and wheezing a little before adding: "not as young as I used to be."

Kiara had a little idea and she said to her brother: "hey, Kion. I know something that can help with those wounds. She then winked at him to give him a clue. Ultimately, Kion realised this and he smiled.

"Sure thing, Kiara."
