It was rather nice that Kion and his friends helped out with the Zorilla couple; Maurice and Zoe, even though they are the stingiest creatures in all of Africa, it was nice of then to help two animals find love with one another.

Three days have already passed since that happened, and Kion was out on another patrol with his friends. So far, everything was peaceful over the Pride Lands with no disturbances of the peace, which was good, and the kids aere about to head back home when a sable antelope named Moteebe came up to them in a frantic hurry.

"Kids!" He panted, catching his breath after pulling over to a complete stop. "Lion Guard you gotta help us!"

"What is it?" said Kion

Moteebe was still panting, and he replied: "there's something fast and big trying to wat us in the river and lake we cross over to when it is migration time and where we sink from."

"A crocodile?" Asked Bunga

"We don't know. But it moves so fast, and it was like a gigantic fish. It was a fast as a shooting star and it got about three of my friends in the water, never seen again. I've known crocodiles for a long time, but they aren't that fast at catching their prey."

The five kids looked troubled and rather disturbed. One animal they know they can catch prey like that in the water is the fearsome tiger fish. These fish were like Africa's definition of a piranha, and they have sharp teeth that can rip through flesh easily without ease.

Kion then said: "we'll figure out what it is. But first, can guy show us where the attack happened?"

"Of course." Said the male sable antelope. "Follow me." The kids did exactly that and follows Moteebe down the riverbed and he pointed to the incident occurrence. "Right here. They took three of my friends, or whatever it was took them and drowned them before it ate them."

"Hmm." Kion studied the river closely, and he was trying to look at where the attack came from at this exact, same spot. In the distance, he saw a Thompsons gazelle carcass on the other side of Rivine. "Hebi Kabisa." He said. "You guys weren't the only ones to get attack by whatever is in the river."

"I'll take a look and see what's causing the attacks from above." Ono volunteered himself. He flapped his wings and soared over the Sapphire sky with his very amazing eyesight. Down the water, he couldn't really see anything, for the water was moving.a little too quickly this time of year, so it was difficult for him to be certain of this.

He flew back down and hovered above the waters to look for any more evidence of these mysterious attacks. "How is it?" Asked Kion

"I can't see down their very well. Beshte, why don't you go look and see what's causing the strange attacks?"

"Uhhh, I don't know. I'm still a kid and, what if I just get sucked down like that gazelle over there, and end up as a carcass?"

"Don't worry. You're the strongest member." Fulu reminded him.

"Yeah, hippos aren't afraid of anything." Bumga added.

"And I am counting on you all to stop whoever is causing all this river chaos." Said Moteebe.

"He's right." Kion agreed with him. "Come on Beshte. If you feel something trying to bite or pull you down, bite it as hard as you can, and run back here on the surface."

"Well... alright. But Bunga, I want you to come with me?"

"What? Why me?"

"Your skin is as tough as a snake's skin." Beshte reminded him. "I remembered when you got bit by that spitting cobra, and his fangs didn't even pierce you."

"Good point. And I do love to swim." Bunga showed it by running up to the ravine and he did a cannonball while shouting: "Zuka zama!" And the sound of splashing was heard.

"That honey badger really loves to swim." Moteebe remarked.

"Tell me about it." Fuli muttered. Beshte followed after him and submerged in the water to look for whatever it causing these mysterious ambushes in this very river. It was a little murky like in a mild foggy day, but, he is able to see some things, and he needed to fulfill his role in the Lion guard as one of the protectors of the Pride Lands.

Young Bunga was looking to see what was causing all the problems as well, and he was holding his breath in himself as he searched around him. It was quiet and there were no signs of mysterious creatures that tried to snatch them or drown them by pulling them under with their mouths.

Both of them waited and watched for anything suspicious, and suddenly, something charged at Bunga, and grabbed his leg. It was a gigantic fish with sharp teeth and its eyes were black and yellow without blinking.

This fish had very sharp teeth like daggers and it could tear through almost anything. But, thanks to Bunga's very thick skin, it gave him time to kick the fish in the eye and make it let go of him.

Beshte saw what was happening and charged towards the monstrous fish, locking it with his own large teeth. This fish was as big as the young hippo, probably a little bigger in pounds, and about nine feet long in length.

Still, Beshte couldn't hold it for much longer, and if the fish breaks free from his jaws, it might swim away, probably never to be seen again.

With all his might, the young hippo threw the fish out of his mouth and landed next to the shore, gasping for breath.

The other kids and the sable antelope looked at the monstrosity, gasping for air with his mouth. "What the heck is that?" Said Kion

"A tiger fish." Beshte explained to his comrades. "They are mean fish and they will stop at nothing to hunt for food. Tiger fish are nasty pieces of work and they can easily rip through flesh. One of the baby hippos in my pod died because of a swarm of tiger fish, but those were tiny, the size of small birds. I mean, these fish can get big, but not this big."

"It's a monster." Said Ono. "Just look at those teeth."

"Thabk you so much, Lion guard," said Moteebe. "We don't have to worry about that thing anymore."

"No problem." Said Fuli. "Happy we were able to help out."

"Well, I think we're done patrolling for one day." said Kion. "Come on, let's go home." The kids went back and mect the voracious and ferocious tiger fish to be fed to any predator that wants to eat it.

Back home in Pride Rock, something caught Kion's eye, and he stopped for a second. In the distance, he saw Kovu with a lioness. It wasn't Kiara. No, it was another lion with brighter yellow fur and she had a cheerful smile on her face.

"What is it, Kion?" Asked Bunga.

"Look over there." The cub pointed. "Who's that lioness Kovu's with?"

"Hmm. I don't know." Fuli replied. "Probably just a friend that Kovu knows."

"I don't know. It looks like he's... flirting with her." Kion made a small gasp before adding: "what if Kovu's cheating on my sister?"

"Oh come on." Said Ono. "That's silly. They love each other so much. They are future king and future queen."

"But look at them. I have a feeling that Kovu is having an agfairbwith Kiara behind her back. Come on, let's get a closer look.,"

His friends were reluctant, but they followed their friend anyway and hid behind a bush. They heard Kovu laugh and he said: "Jua, you are so funny."

"Thanks Kovu." Said the lioness. "I'm proud that you are becoming the king of the Pride Lands someday. What about your mate?"

"Oh. Shhhhh, I don't think this is a good time for her to find out about you... yet." Kovu admitted

The mids gasped behind the Bush, and maybe Kovu was having an affair behind Kiara's back after all.
