— “The New Lion Guard — The Test of Courage”

Kion (cub)

The sun shone over the savannah, as Kion watched his four friends gathered in front of Pride Rock.

Bunga, his fearless friend — The Bravest.

Fuli, swift as the wind — The Fastest.

Beshte, gentle and strong — The Strongest.

Ono, alert and clever — The Keenest of sight.

Kion (smiling): — "You are the best at everything you do. I trust you. Let's protect the Circle of Life… together."

They roared in unison, in a sign of unity.

Simba (coming down from the rock, serious): — "These are the members of the new Lion Guard?"

Kion: — "Yes, Dad. They are my friends. And even though they are not lions, they are amazing."

Simba (raising an eyebrow): — "Being the leader of the Guard is a huge responsibility, Kion. You need to take it seriously."

Rafiki (laughing quietly): — "Sometimes the winds of change blow in unexpected ways, Simba."

[Later that afternoon…]

Kiara, exploring a part of the savannah alone, was distracted by following a colorful butterfly. That's when the ground shook — a stampede of gazelles was running in the distance.

Kiara (scared): — "What's happening?!"

Ono, flying over the area, saw something even worse: three hyenas — Janja, Cheezi and Chungu — were behind the princess, laughing and barking.*

Ono: — "Kion! Kiara is in danger! And the hyenas are close by!"

Kion: — "Team, let's go!"

[“To Protect is to Lead”]

Arriving quickly at the scene, the Guard members skillfully split up.

Fuli ran alongside the gazelles, guiding the flow away from the princess.

Beshte created a living barrier with his body, protecting Kiara.

Bunga courageously jumped on top of Cheezi, distracting the hyenas.

Ono kept his eyes on the sky, shouting coordinates to the group.

Janja (growling): — "It's just a little princess! Let's take her for a walk in the Outlands, boys!"

Kion (growling, advancing): — "Stay away from my sister!"

The hyenas turned to face Kion… but they were not prepared for what was coming next.

Kion (closing his eyes): — "HEVI KABISA…!"

Suddenly, the Roar of the Ancients echoed loudly, coming from deep within Kion's soul.

A powerful gust of wind and holy energy swept the hyenas away, sending Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu flying straight back to the Outlands.

Janja (shouting as he flew): — "This doesn't end here, cub!"

Kiara (panting): — "Kion… you saved me!"

Simba (arriving, with pride and surprise): — "Kion… that was… admirable."

Kion (humble): — "I only did what the Guard was supposed to do, Dad."

Simba (looking at the team): — "I had my doubts… but you've proven that you're more than capable. The Lion Guard has been reborn… and it's on good legs."
