The Calm Before The Storm

Kion wakes up to see Rani still asleep wrapped in his paws. He looks at the lair entrance to see sunlight coming through. Kion gets up and turns to Rani to wake her up; he then proceeds to nuzzle her.

"Rani, come on, get up."

She wakes up but stays lying down as she yawns.

"Oh come on lazy, get up; it's already sunrise."

Rani isn't budging and still wants to go back to sleep; she gives a little purr and rolls back over. Kion walks over and licks the side of her face.

"Ah, Kion!" Rani says in surprise as she rolls over.

Rani wraps her paws around Kion's head and pulls him down on to her. Both of them start to roll around, giggling as Rani is entirely awake, and ready to start her day. They both get up and hop down from the rock, walking out of the lair.

Outside, The Lion Guard and Night Pride are talking. The Night Pride are talking about their patrol when Kion and Rani walk up, joining the group.

"Morning, guys," Kion says.

"Morning, Kion," Nirmala replies.

"Where is Shido and Mrembo?" Kion asks.

Baliyo still tired from the patrol; he stands his head up to talk to Kion. "They're probably still sleeping on their hill," He replies.

"Ah, okay, that's fine. Well anyway, I'll be right back, I gotta go talk to someone." Kion says, walking away and splits from the group.

He heads up to the cliffside, far from the group before calling Mufasa, "Grandfather Mufasa?"

Clouds roll up as Mufasa appears in the clouds.

"Yes, Kion, I'm here."

"I just wanted to let you know that everything with Queen Rani and I are excellent."

"That's very good, Kion."

"But I do have a little problem; there is this lion, named Mabaya. He wants me to help him take down a lion that's here with us, but if I don't help him, he might attack the Tree of Life, and I don't want anyone getting hurt."

"Does he only want to cause trouble?"

"Well, he wants to get revenge on this lion so, yeah."

"Hmm, Mabaya, it sounds familiar to me."

"It does?"

"Yes, he might have something to do with Scar."

"Scar? But I defeated him, how could he come back?"

"Yes, Kion, you did defeat him, but that does not stop other people outside the Pridelands to summon him. Mabaya and Scar may be together."

"So, what do I do, grandfather?"

"The next time you talk to Mabaya, try to talk yourself out of the situation and see how you can lead him away from the lion he's trying to hurt."

"And if that fails?"

Mufasa chuckles, "Kion; I believe you can do anything that comes to your mind; one bad lion is not going to stop you. You only need to take time to think about this, and lead Mabaya away."

"Alright, thank you, Grandfather Mufasa."

"Good luck Kion." Mufasa disappears in the clouds, as Kion rethinks the conversation to see if he can use Mufasa's ideas and help him figure out what to do with Mabaya as Kion walks back down to the group.
