Following Kion and Fuli


After Kion and Fuli ate a zebra Paka caught for them, they started off towards the rising sun.  It was noon of the third day when they finally saw Kiara, Kovu, and Mwanga sheltering from the cold in the Out Lands.  After a bit of catching up, and confirming of the plan, the group headed towards Pride Rock to free all the imprisoned animals, using the leopards as decoy guards until they reached the cell the Guard was trapped in.

"Beshte, can you move those rocks to free yourself?" Kion asked

"Sorry Kion," Beshte said, "I'm too weak to be at full strength now."

"Then lend Kion and I your strength, and we'll get you free in no time." Fuli said

"I'll try. Twinde Kiboko!" Beshte said as Kion and Fuli felt his strength coursing through them.

"Now or never, Fuuls!" Kion said

"I know, and please never call me that again." Fuli said, trying to hide a laugh

"I can see that laugh you're trying to hide." Kion replied as the boulders moved just enough for the Guard to be free

"Here," Fuli said as the Guard was coming out, "we got some food and water for you to eat, so you can regain your strength before the final battle."

"Asante, Fuli, Kion.  I don't know what we would've done without you." Beshte said

"No time for thanks," Fuli said, tasting the air, "I can smell Makucha coming this way."

"Well, well, well," Makucha said once he arrived, "it looks like the prince is back, with friends no less.  It doesn't matter who you bring, even if it's that dirty Paka.  I left her to take over here, but she didn't come, she respected the cIrClE oF lIfE like the two foolish rulers that have died."

Multiple flaming sticks came down from the sky, creating a pentagram of fire with the Guard in the middle.

"Aaah, feels good to have legs again, doesn't it Zira?" Scar said

"Yes it does, ain't the right Nuka?" Zira asked her eldest son

"Yes, mother, I feel alive again." Nuka replied

"Whatever tricks you're up to to seperate us, they won't work." Kion said as the Lion Guard formed a circle in the middle of the pentagram. "Lion Guard together..." he added

"Defend forever!" The rest of the Guard completed their new motto that was just invented in the last 10 seconds.

"No matter what motto you use, we're unstoppable." Scar said

"I don't see it that way." Anga said. "We all know what to do, right?"

"Let's do it! Smartest!" Ono said

"Fastest!" Fuli said

"Bravest" Bunga added

"Strongest!" Beshte continued

"Fiercest!" Kion said

"And Keenest of Sight!" Anga said

"Till the Pride Lands' end

The Lion Guard together 

We'll defend

forever!" The Guard as Kion let out a mighty Roar, effectively killing Makucha's group, and decimating Scar, Zira, and Nuka's spirits so they can't come back and terrorize the Pride Lands again.
