Kion's Tale Ch. 3

"Whoa, Zira said that?" Fuli asked.
As uneasy as it made him feel, Kion felt it necessary to explain to his team why he had been so reclusive. He told all except Bunga, who he had told a few weeks earlier, that during the Outsiders first attack on the Pridelands, Zira had said things, things that made him so mad, he let out what must've been the strongest Roar he ever concocted.
"Poa." Beshte said once Kion was done with his story.
"I'll second that Poa." Ono nodded with an expression that matched the other three in the Guard besides Bunga and Kion.
"I didn't mean to Roar like that." Kion's ears lowered. "Zira just made me so mad when she said that me and my dad were irresponsible. I could've hurt someone."
"But you didn't, and that's all that matters." Beshte said, sounding rather hopeful.
"Beshte's right, Kion." Fuli added. "You shouldn't let something like that get you down."
Words of encouragement were exactly the things he wanted to hear right now. If there was one group of animals that knew how to lift him when he was feeling down, it was Kion's Guard. Bunga had been his best friend since they were both cubs. Fuli, despite having their differences in the past, soon became acquaintances, eventually become allies. When he had once found himself in a jam, involving a rockslide, Beshte was there to help him out of it. Ono, what could he say? Once, when he had found himself searching for a group of wild dogs who he had to deal with, Ono had helped him locate them and relocate them.
"Thanks, guys." Kion smiled at the friends. "I really needed that."
"It's no problem Kion." Fuli smiled.
"That's what friends are for." Beshte said.
"Affirmative." Ono flew down to him from Beshte's back.
"You can always count on Bunga the wise." Bunga grinned, full of pride.
Kion chuckled as he looked to the giant rock that stood in the distance. "I guess we'd better get back to the lair, but everyone be alert. We may have stopped Scar today, but who knows when he's gonna strike next."
"Yeah." Beshte got up. "You think Madoa would've warned us about today's attack."
"Usually, she does." Ono flew above them ads they set off to Pride Rock. "Unless all sides of Scar's Army weren't attacking."
'You didn't see Janja and his clan, did you Ono?" Kion asked the Egret.
"Not one Hyena, Kion." Ono confessed. "I looked all around the Pridelands, Janja and his clan were nowhere to be seen."
"Maybe Jasiri and the resistance stopped them." Bunga shrugged.
"I hope so, Bunga." Kion glanced at his friend as they made it to Pride Rock.
"I hope so."

Night. It is a time where shadows rose from the spots they inhabited. In day, they would huddle under rocks, trees, anything that blocked the brightness of the sun. Shadows could find solace in this time, where they engulfed all things under the moon, making everything dark.
It was also a perfect time for animals to sneak around.
And that was what three young Lions were intending to do.
Kovu was the only one of the three to not be walking. As Vitani and Nuka were using their legs, he was sitting himself on Nuka's back. "Remember, you two," He said with a tone of authority. "We have to knock ALL the rocks into the falls."
"We know, Kovu." Vitani tried so sound as less annoyed as possible. "We were there when Scar said what to do. We have to push all the rocks into Hakuna Matata falls to stop up the water."
"And the Skinks told Scar that the Lion Guard are counting on those Hyenas to try and stop us." Nuka continued for his sister. "And since they don't know they've stopped helping them, they won't expect a thing."
Kovu gave a small scoff. "I guess you two aren't as stupid as you look."
The other two lions gave a small and silent groan as Nuka raised his eyebrows. "But if Scar wanted this done, why couldn't he send the Jackals or Crocs?"
The brown male let out heavy sigh. "I take back what I said, You ARE as stupid as you look. The Jackals and Crocs need to be in Kilio Valley so the Lion Guard won't try and take it back."
While Nuka merely nodded, Vitani let out a large yawn (Cause cats can give pretty big Yawns.) "Hey, Kovu? How bout a nap before we start, huh?"
Kovu let out an equally large yawn and laid over his brothers back like a king before his servants. "Sure, VItani, I think a snooze will do me just fine." Apparently having no regard of his older siblings, Kovu closed his eyes and began to go into a peaceful sleep.
What he didn't hear was the grumbling coming from his sister.
"One of these days, Kovu...."
Although they had never done a job for Scar before, Nuka and Vitani knew exactly how it would turn out; They would do all the work and Kovu would get all the credit. 
Some brother, am I right?
