The Lion Guard | Still Together

Chapter 1.1: Seperated

Following Kion

Kion woke up trapped in a cave, his whole body was hurting, but his left shoulder was hurting the most for some reason.  When he looked at it, his Mark of the Guard was glowing ever so slightly, so much so that it was only noticable in the dim light of the cave.

'Is everybody okay?'  Kion tried to ask through thought

'I'm battered, but fine'  Fuli replied

'Same here.'  Ono added, and the rest of the Guard agreed, but all of their left shoulders were hurting the most.

'Do you think it could be the same reason we can talk through thought?'  Fuli asked, referring to their shoulders

'That is entirely possible.'  Ono said

'Fuli, do you mind if we talk in private for a bit?'  Kion asked

'Okay...'  Fuli said, guessing what it's about

'You know exactly what this is about, don't you?'  Kion asked

'Yes.  I'm embarrassed about what I said back in the battle, too.  But it's over.  That's actually what I wanted to tell you back at the Tree.'

'I know, but what I said still stands.  I still love you with all my heart.'

'Same here, but we need to focus on getting out.'

'I know, but it's hard to focus when my shoulder is hurting as much as it is.  We should probably get some rest before we do try to escape.  See ya!'

'Bye.'

"Ah, look who's finally awake, the roar boy."  Makucha said.  "Looks like you can't Roar to free yourself if you don't want the cave to collapse in on itself."

"You can't keep me here forever, Makucha!"  Kion said

"I understand that you will try to escape at some point, but until then, we'll keep you alive, but just barely." Chuluun said. "We have all your friends seperated, so you can't work as a team.  We've also killed the king and queen, since they didn't surrender when they had a chance.  Now we take over the Pride Lands and no one can stop us!"

They're right.  I can't use my strongest weapon against them if I want to survive.  The Roar would collapse the cave.  If only we had time to ask Rafiki about our new powers before Makucha attacked. Kion thought as he fell asleep.
