2 months have passed since Sarabi's death and the lion guard has been doing their duties,though they have not encountered any hyenas since the old queen's demise and the pridelands have been at peace since the tragic death.

However,since Sarabi's death,there has been one person who's grief never went with the wind..and that person is Kion,who became distant from his father as a result of the event

''He's mad at you because he feels like you didn't want to help,simba..'' Nala said to the king,who sighed.

Little did they knew,Kion was hiding in the shadows,watching them talk.

''I know,but-'' Simba started,but was interrupted by kion clearing his throat,''Kion?''

''Well,dad,considering that you were informed of it that evening,when she was barely breathing,but chose to stand by and let her DIE,would that tell you something?'' Kion asked while growling.

''There was nothing I could-''

''THERE WASN'T ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR OWN MOTHER?REALLY,IS THAT HOW THIS IS GONNA GO!?'' Kion yelled,suprising both Nala and Simba,''Janja said death is not preventable..just delayed...but I felt that i could delay her death for many more years by trying to help her and look where that got me?I made myself distant,guilty that I failed you...t-that i failed grandma.''

Kion then started crying,causing Nala to hug the now near teen prince.

''I failed everyone….'' Kion said with tears in his eyes.

''Sweetie,you didn't fail anybody.'' Nala said with a smile,''Not everything can be changed..you just need to realize that and see it for yourself.''

''But...i saw her be mauled in front of me.'' Kion reminded and Nala chuckled.

''One event does not determine your success,my son...your accomplishments afterwards will.'' Nala said

''I know…'' Kion said,then walked off to be greeted by his friends,''Guys?''

''Hi,Kion!'' Tiifu shouted while grinning.

''Some Jackals were spotted at the border and we were gonna go to you to get them.'' Ono explained.

Kion turned to Tiifu.

''What about you?'' Kion asked

''I'm going to the waterhole with Zuri and Kiara.'' Tiifu replied,then ran off with Zuri and Kiara.

Later,at the border…..

''We were just wanting to hunt…'' a jackal said while frowning.

''No,goigoi...I gave you food a couple days ago,you don't need to come back to hunt for sport.'' Kion said

''KION!KION!'' Ono shouted while flying to Kion

''What is it?'' Kion asked.

''The Pride Rock's cave is blocked off and Tiifu,Kiara and Zuri are in trouble at the waterhole!'' Ono explained.

''Who is causing it?'' Kion asked with worry.

''Janja and his hyenas!'' Ono said and Kion darted off instantly,running towards the waterhole.

A few minutes later….

Zuri and Kiara had Zebra blood on them due to Janja and the hyenas eating a zebra close to the 2 girls while Tiifu was crying at a rock nearby.

''JANJA!'' Kion shouted,then landed before Janja and the hyenas.

''Kion...you come back for more after the emotional rollar coaster I took you on a couple months back?'' Janja asked and Kion nodded,''Very well...BOSE!JOHKER!BRING ME THE GIRL!''

The 2 most evil of Janja's hyenas nodded before grabbing Tiifu and tossing her to Janja.

''Hello,little girl…'' Janja said while chuckling,Tiifu's face full of fear.

''Don't you even think about hurting her,Janja!'' Kion shouted,then get into a battle position.

''Oh,i'm not going to hurt her,no...i'm gonna do something MUCH worse…'' Janja said,then clawed a few lines across Tiifu's legs,causing her to squeal,''I'm gonna torture her…''

Kion then roared,causing Janja,Chungu,Cheezi,Bose and Johker to freeze,giving the lion enough time to tackle Janja down as the rest of the lion guard engaged the 4 other hyenas.

Kion and Janja rolled down a hill and eventually into the same gorge that Mufasa and Sarabi died in.

Janja had the hardest fall,as he landed back feet first onto a rock,breaking his hind legs.

Kion slowly got up and saw the state janja was in and smiled at it.

''Sucks being hurt,doesn't it,Janja?'' Kion asked the hyena,then clawed him in the face,sending him down,''You hurt my family from the inside...you hurt my confidence and made me have a life of guilt for 2 months...and now you hurt the girl I love?What kind of monster are you?'' Kion said,then kicked Janja into a log.

''Says the one who's attacking a defenseless hyena.'' Janja spat

''TIIFU WAS DEFENSELESS WHEN YOU HURT HER!MY GRANDMOTHER WAS OLD!YOU TARGETED THOSE I CARED ABOUT MOST LIKE IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEM TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS!'' Kion roared,then clawed Janja in the face again.

''You use others for your own personal goals and ambitions….you think you can go around being the bad guy without going against the hero?'' Kion asked,then started to choke the hyena,''I may not be a hero after this..but i might as well avenge my grandmother…''

''Grandma...if i ever try to save the pridelands...should i kill?'' A 4 month old kion asked Sarabi,who smiled.

''Do not kill,my grandson..that will make you as bad as the person who is trying to destroy the foundations of our home.'' Sarabi replied,then nuzzled kion.

''...Another day.'' Kion finished,then let go of Janja and walked off as the other 4 hyenas ran down to tend to their leader.

Tiifu limped over and hugged Kion as he emerged from the gorge.

''Are you ok?'' Kion asked

''I will be…'' Tiifu replied.

That night….

''Are you sure you'll be ok?'' Kion asked Tiifu as they looked at the moon while laying down in the middle of the grasslands.

''I'll have permanent stripes on my leg,but oh well'' Tiifu replied,then nuzzled Kion.

''After every thing that happened today...am i worthy of being the leader of the lion guard?'' Kion asked.

''Nobody ever doubted you,Kion...they never will.'' Tiifu replied

Both Kion and Tiifu nuzzled eachother while looking at the moon and stars in the sky while fireflies swarmed the area,then flew up into the air.

The last view was pride rock as a giant 'mark of the lion guard' appeared on the front of the rock.
