## EBA's Fanon

―Kopa | ”

**The Lion Guard: EBA's Fanon** (AKA: EBA's Fanon) is a continuation of The Lion Guard. It's User:EBAlarms's primary series, which when finished will contain a total of 10 episodes. This series is canon to EBA's Universe.

## Important Notice

**MAJOR CHANGES:** Over the coming weeks, all of EBAlarms's fanfics will receive major changes. Here's what can be expected of these changes:

* EBA's Fanon will shrink to 10 episodes (instead of 25).
* All episodes will be revised.
* Episodes 4 and 5 are unnamed, but will contain the births of Habari and Rabaha respectively.
* Long Live the King and The Lion Sleeps Tonight will become episodes 6 and 7 respectively.
* Episode 8 is unnamed, but will continue Kion's recovery, and show Rani returning leadership of the Guard to Kion.
* Bhaaloo the Pride Lander will become episode 9. This episode is expected to receive major revisions, and it is possible the episode will be renamed.
* The first episode of Habari's Guard will become episode 10.
* The remainder of Habari's Guard has been canceled.

## In A Nutshell

EBA's Fanon acts as a fourth season to The Lion Guard. In this series, a new story surrounding Kion's long lost brother Kopa. Plus the introduction to a new antagonist, an antagonist who knows what he's doing! The Circle of Life also continues, some good, some bad!

## Information

EBA's Fanon has 10 episodes. At the moment, these episodes will just be transcripts, though I may (key word: may) attempt to animate them in the future.

EBA's Fanon was originally created with the intention that it would become a realistic example of what Disney may produce if they created a 4th season of TLG. Due to lack of ideas however, the project has since slightly shifted direction. Regardless, it's still not deviating too far from what Disney would actually do.

EBA's Fanon doesn't mess with the canon. For example, I will not be "undoing" anything from Season 3. I won't be splitting up Kion and Rani, nor will I be making Janja the bad guy again. Now, don't get me wrong. If your fanfictions contain those events, that does not make them bad at all. All I am saying is that those events won't be in EBA's Fanon.

The reason I started this project is because I believe Ford Riley made a mistake at the end of the series. Simply put, he ruined the message that has been built up since Return of the Roar. A message about the diversity, about what others feel you are capable of. Kion's guard included many different animals. King Simba didn't think it was possible for non-lions to actually defend the Pride Lands. He was proven wrong... almost. During the series finale, Kion declared Vitani's (all-lion) Lion Guard the best guard. I created EBA's Fanon to fix this issue.

The series officially started with the first draft of The Lion Sleeps Tonight (EBA's Fanon), which was started and completed on February 4th, 2023. This episode did not release until it received major revisions over the following months. During these months, multiple other episodes were created, including Return of the Guard (EBA's Fanon), Long Lost Prince (EBA's Fanon), and Bhaaloo's Revenge (EBA's Fanon).

On October 31st, 2023, the decision was made to make major changes to the series. These changes include reordering some of the episodes, splitting Return of the Guard into 2 episodes, reducing the planned episodes from 25 to 10, ending the Habari's Guard series, and moving the only episode of Habari's Guard with Bhaaloo's Fanon.

## Summary

Kion is now an adult, and overtime has became the leader of the Night Pride, leaving Rani to perform the royal duties. One day, an injured lion named Kopa arrives at the Tree of Life following a bear attack. Kopa explains that he ran away after being attacked as a cub, and the Night Pride agree to help him find his home.

They determine that Kopa's home is in the Pride Lands, and he and Kion realize they are brothers. Kion agrees to bring Kopa home once he is healed. Before that could happen however, after a battle against Bhaaloo, the Tree of Life caught fire and could not be saved. Everyone was forced to move to the Pride Lands.

Upon arrival to the Pride Lands, Kopa reunites with his parents after many years. Vitani pulls Kion aside and admits her struggles to him. She stepped down as leader, making Kion the new leader. Afterwards, Simba and Nala explain the story of Kopa. When Kopa was young, he was attacked by Shenzi. Kopa got away, but Simba and Nala didn't know this. Simba attacked and killed Shenzi as a result.

Kion finally assembles his Lion Guard. He appoints all former members of the Night Pride. Rani, as second-in-command was granted the Roar of the Elders.
