On a calm day in Leopon Plains, Mhina was spending time with his parents, Tatu, Kopa, Kicheko, and Sapphire outside the Tumaini Pride den.
“Are the Outlanders still attacking the Pride Lands, Mhina?” Tatu asked.
Mhina nodded.
“King Simba thinks there could be a battle looming. He wants to gather reinforcements from the kingdoms to form an army.” Mhina said.
“What does Kion think?” Kicheko asked.
At the mention of Kion's name, Mhina felt his heart swell with emotion.
“Kion thinks the kingdoms should start training, in case there is a battle.” Mhina said.
“Are you going to the Pride Lands today?” Kopa asked.
Mhina nodded.
“I have too. The Lion Guard needs me. Kion needs me.” Mhina said.
Tatu exchanged a glance with Kopa and Kicheko.
Ajani cleared his throat.
“Your mother and I will accompany you to the Pride Lands today, son.” Ajani said.
“We'd like to talk to Simba.” Ayo added. 
“Okay.” Mhina said.
Tatu cleared her throat.
“Can we go too, Dad?” Tatu asked.
Ajani nodded.
“Of course, sweetheart.” Ajani said.
He glanced at Sapphire.
“You're welcome to accompany us as well, Aunt Sapphire.” Ajani said.
“Thank you, Ajani.” Sapphire answered.
Ajani stood up, and began to lead the way out of Msafiri Forest.
As they headed towards the border, Anika and Amali approached.
“What's going on?” Amali asked.
“We're going to the Pride Lands to speak with King Simba and Queen Nala, about the Outlander attacks.” Ajani said.
Amali and Anika exchanged a glance.
“We'll accompany you, your majesty.” Anika said.
“All right. Let's head out.” Ajani said.
Meanwhile, in the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard, joined by Anga, was doing a patrol in Mbali Fields.
“Any sign of Mhina, Ono? He said he was coming today.” Kion said anxiously. 
“No sign yet, Kion. I'll keep an eye out.” Ono said.
Kion unsheathed his claws, and began digging them into the earth underneath him.
“It's okay, Kion. I'm sure Mhina's on his way.” Fuli said reassuringly.
“He should've been here by now. It's almost sunhigh.” Kion said.
“Maybe something held him up in Leopon Plains.” Beshte suggested.
“Or maybe he decided not to come today.” Bunga said.
“Hush, Bunga.” Fuli growled through clenched teeth.
Suddenly, Ono cleared his throat.
“Good news, Kion. Mhina's here.” Ono said.
“He and his family are at the Lake Matope border.” Anga said.
Instantly, Kion's expression brightened, and he felt a warm ache in his chest.
“Come on, let's go see what's going on.” Kion said.
He led the way to Lake Matope.
When they arrived, Kion immediately bounded up to Mhina.
“Hi Mhina.” Kion said warmly.
Mhina cleared his throat.
“Hi Kion.” Mhina said, his tone filled with affection.
He and Kion exchanged a significant glance.
Behind Mhina, Ajani cleared his throat pointedly.
“We've come to speak to your parents, Kion.” Ajani said.
“About the Outlander attacks.” Ayo added.
“Follow me. I'll take you to Pride Rock.” Kion said.
“I'll fly ahead and tell your parents, Kion.” Ono said.
“Thanks, Ono.” Kion said.
He watched as Ono spread his wings, and flew off towards Pride Rock.
Kion began to lead the way to Pride Rock, Mhina bounded forward to walk beside him, brushing his pelt against Kion's.
They didn't notice Shupavu and Nyata spying on them from a tree branch.
Shupavu and Nyata exchanged a glance, and slipped down the branch.  
Meanwhile, the Lion Guard, Anga, Mhina, Ajani, Ayo, Tatu, Amali, Anika, Kopa, Kicheko, and Sapphire had reached Pride Rock.
Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Nguruma, Rafiki, Zazu, Ono, and Makini were settled down outside the den.
Simba glanced up as the Lion Guard, Anga, Mhina, Ajani, Ayo, Amali, Anika, Tatu, Kopa, Kicheko, and Sapphire approached.
“Ono tells us that you're here to discuss the Outlander attacks, Ajani.” Simba said.
“That's right. Ayo and I have heard all about the attacks from Mhina.” Ajani said.
“Perhaps while we discuss them, Mhina, Kopa, Tatu, and Kicheko can patrol with Kion and the Guard.” Simba said.
“That sounds like a good idea.” Ajani said.
He glanced at Mhina, Kopa, Tatu, and Kicheko.
“Do you four agree with that?” Ajani asked.
“Of course we do, Dad.” Mhina said, pressing closer to Kion's pelt.
“We'd love to have them join us.” Kion said instantly.
“It's settled then. They can patrol while we talk.” Simba said.
“Come inside. There's some fresh-kill.” Nala said.
“Thank you, Nala.” Ayo said.
She and Nala watched as Makini moved towards Nguruma, helped him to his paws, and led him inside the den. 
Simba led Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Rafiki, Zazu, Ajani, Ayo, Amali, Anika, and Sapphire inside the den.
Kion glanced at the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, Tatu, Kopa, and Kicheko.
“Come on. We can patrol Rocky Ridge.” Kion said.
“That's a wonderful idea.” Mhina said.
Meanwhile Janja's Clan had joined Scar, Ushari, Shupavu, and Nyata inside the caldera.
“Shupavu tells me that the leopons of Leopon Plains have arrived in the Pride Lands.” Scar said.
“So, what's the plan, Scar?” Fisi asked.
“Will we attack the leopons?” Banzai added.
Ushari groaned.
“We aren't directly attacking the leopons.” Ushari said.
“That would risk Kion finding out that I've returned.” Scar said. 
“So, what is the plan?” Shenzi asked.
“The plan is to stage an attack at Maji Baridi Falls.” Scar answered.
“You got it, Scar.” Fisi said.
Meanwhile, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Rafiki, Zazu, Makini, Nguruma, Ajani, Ayo, Amali, Anika, and Sapphire had settled down inside the den.
“Mhina's told us about the fight against the Outlanders. If you should ever need it, you'll have the help of the Tumaini Pride. We wouldn't let you face this battle on your own.” Ajani said.
“Thank you, Ajani. It means a great deal to have your support in this fight. Kion has said he feels complete patrolling beside Mhina.” Simba said.
Ajani chuckled.
“Mhina's said that as well. I'm glad he's able to be of help to your son and his Lion Guard.” Ajani said.
“As am I. They work well together.”  Simba said.
“They certainly do.” Ajani said.
Behind them, Ayo, Nguruma, and Nala were settled down in mossy nests, Nguruma was pressed close to Nala's pelt.
“How did you and Simba feel when Kion became the leader of the Lion Guard? Were you worried for his safety?” Ayo asked.
Nala nodded.
“Of course we were. We'll always worry for him, but he's proven to both of us that he's capable of handling the dangers. He's a wonderful leader. We're both so proud of him.” Nala said.
Ayo's expression softened as she watched Nguruma nestle against Nala's pelt. Nala soothingly brushed her tail against Nguruma's flank.
“Ajani and I believe Mhina has the drive and dedication to be a good ruler. We're impressed by the stories he tells us about helping the Guard.” Ayo said.
“Mhina will be a wonderful ruler one day, and perhaps he'll have a wonderful consort beside him.” Nala said.
“Ajani and I hope he finds someone he loves to rule with.” Ayo said.
Meanwhile, the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, Tatu, Kopa, and Kicheko had finished a patrol in Rocky Ridge.
“Should we patrol Poromoko Crevasse?” Fuli asked.
Kion nodded.
“Then we can head back to Pride Rock.” Kion said.
Suddenly, Ono cleared his throat, from his perch on Beshte's back.
“We have a problem, Kion.” Ono said.
“Of course we do.” Fuli muttered.
“What's the kerbubble, Ono?” Beshte asked.
“Janja's Clan is fighting Vuai at Maji Baridi Falls.” Ono said.
“What?” Kion asked.
“Vuai's outnumbered. It looks like he needs help.” Anga added.
“What'll we do, Kion?” Beshte asked.
“We'll go to Maji Baridi Falls and help my brother drive the hyenas away.” Kion said. 
“All right! Let's go fight some baddies.” Bunga said.
“Until the Pride Lands end!” Kion called.
“Lion Guard defend!” Beshte, Ono, Bunga, and Fuli chorused.
Mhina pressed himself against Kion's pelt.
“I'm beside you.” Mhina said quietly.
Kion led the way to Maji Baridi Falls.
When they arrived, Kion stopped, horrified, as he watched Fisi pin Vuai to the ground. Shenzi, Banzai, and Banagi were surrounding him.
“Get away from my brother, Fisi!” Kion called.
“How're you gonna stop me, Kion?” Fisi asked.
Kion lunged forward, knocking Fisi off of Vuai.
“You have one chance to leave, unless you want a fight.” Kion said.
Fisi cackled.
“We're not going anywhere.” Fisi said.
“Looks like it's a fight then.” Kion said.
Vuai moved forward to stand beside Kion.
“I want to help fight. I'm not a cub anymore.” Vuai said.
“Okay. You can help us.” Kion said.
“What're we waiting for? Let's send these baddies back where they belong.” Bunga said.
“Fuli, Anga, and Vuai take on Shenzi and Banzai. Beshte, Bunga, and Ono take on Banagi. Mhina and I will handle Fisi.” Kion said.
“You got it, Kion.” Fuli said.
She lunged forward, colliding with Shenzi, and sending Shenzi flying backwards. Anga and Vuai rushed forward. Vuai lunged towards Banzai, kicking him and sending him flying towards an acacia tree.
Beshte and Bunga rushed towards Banagi. Bunga launched himself at Banagi, knocking him to the ground. Beshte rushed forward, crashing into Banagi, and sending him flying.
Kion flung himself towards Fisi, pinning him to the ground.
“The best choice is to give up now. The odds of winning aren't in your favor.” Kion said.
“There's eight of us, and four of you. You're vastly outnumbered.” Mhina added.
“So? We're not giving up. Soon, your family and kingdom will fall, Kion, and there'll be nothing left for you to fight for.” Fisi said.
“As long as I have the Mark of the Guard, I'm going to fight to protect the Pride Lands, and defend the Circle of Life.” Kion said.
“You're not winning this fight. Give up, and go home.” Mhina said.
“Hyenas never give up.” Fisi said.
Kion's expression hardened.
“Everyone. Get behind me.” Kion said.
Immediately, the Guard, Anga, Mhina, and Vuai rushed to stand behind him. 
Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him. 
He braced himself, and performed the Roar.
It sent Janja's Clan flying backwards.
Kion watched as they stumbled towards the border.
He glanced at Vuai.
“Are you okay?” Kion asked.
Vuai nodded.
“Thanks, Lion Guard.” Vuai said.
“You're welcome.” Beshte said.
Fuli cleared her throat, as she watched Kion move closer to Mhina, wrapping his tail tightly around Mhina's flank.
“I need to go. Mom and Dad want me to hunt with them.” Fuli said.
“See you later, Fuli. Have a good hunt.” Beshte said.
He watched as Fuli dashed off.
Anga cleared her throat.
“I need to be going too.” Anga said.
“See you later, Anga.” Ono said.
He watched as Anga spread her wings, and flew off.
Beshte and Bunga exchanged a glance.
“Want to come to Hakuna Matata Falls with me, Big B?” Bunga asked.
Beshte nodded.
“See you tomorrow, guys.” Kion said.
He watched as Beshte and Bunga began to head towards Hakuna Matata Falls.
Ono cleared his throat awkwardly.
“I'd better be heading home as well. My parents are expecting me before sundown.” Ono said.
“Okay.” Kion said.
Ono spread his wings, and flew off.
Tatu cleared her throat.
“Should we be heading back to Pride Rock? Mom and Dad are probably ready to leave.” Tatu said.
“You're right. We should go.” Kion said.
He began to lead the way to Pride Rock, his tail entwined with Mhina's.
When they arrived, they saw Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Nguruma, Ajani, Ayo, Amali, Anika, and Sapphire settled down outside the den.
Simba glanced up as Kion, Vuai, Mhina, Tatu, Kopa, and Kicheko approached.
“How was the patrol, son?” Simba asked.
“It was good, Dad. We fought off Janja's Clan.” Kion said.
“Excellent. Well done, Lion Guard.” Simba said.
“I helped too, Dad.” Vuai said.
“That's great, Vuai.” Kiara said.
Ajani cleared his throat.
“I believe we should be heading back to Leopon Plains.” Ajani said.
Simba nodded.
Mhina and Kion exchanged a glance.
“Thank for letting my siblings and I join the patrol today, Kion. I enjoyed spending time with you.” Mhina said.
“There will always be a place for you on the patrol. You belong with the Guard.” Kion said.
“Being beside you is exactly where I want to be.” Mhina said.
Kion moved closer, until his pelt was brushing against Mhina's.
“See you tomorrow, Mhina.” Kion said.
“See you tomorrow.” Mhina answered.
Ajani glanced at Ayo, Amali, Anika, Mhina, Tatu, Kopa, Kicheko and Sapphire.
“Is everyone ready to go?” Ajani asked.
“We're ready, Ajani.” Ayo said.
Kion watched as Ajani began to lead Ayo, Amali, Anika, Mhina, Tatu, Kopa, Kicheko and Sapphire into the Pride Lands.
Kiara moved to stand beside him, wrapping her tail around Kion's shoulders.
“Are you okay, little brother?” Kiara asked.
Kion nodded.
“Being with Mhina really does make me feel complete. I don't know what I'd do without him.” Kion said.
Kiara bent her head, and rubbed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.
“I understand. Finding someone you love is an important part of growing up, Kion.” Kiara said.
Behind them, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Vuai, and Nguruma headed inside the den.
“I feel a connection to Mhina. I don't feel like I have to be someone else for him. I can be myself around him.” Kion said.
“He sees you for who you are inside, and you do the same for him.” Kiara said.
“Yeah. That's right.” Kion said.
“That's exactly how Kovu and I feel.” Kiara said.
“Really?” Kion asked.
“Yes. I found my Upendi, Kion. It's your turn now.” Kiara said.
Kion pressed himself against Kiara's flank, and Kiara brushed her tail along his spine.
“I'm so proud of you, Kion.” Kiara said.
“Thanks, Kiara.” Kion said.
