”I’m sorry, what was the thing you said after the strongest?” I asked the king.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeyf8GxSGD 維尼
”The slyest?” he replied. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IT1NWGTdb 維尼
I nearly jumped out of my skin when Rafiki laugh. “Yes, the slyest member in the Lion Guard! This animal must be able to maneuver between enemy lines and conduct ambush attacks and act as a scout for nighttime missions!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFPC4dQCn 維尼
I nodded my head slightly. I didn't remember this being part of the show when I first saw the trailer. "Oh, well that makes sense then, thanks for explaining!!" I smiled at the baboon.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡot7dSujLtW 維尼

"Yes, Bunga?" he asked.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAPJaIwPnZ 維尼

"You see, Simba?" he questioned. "And now Kion will choose the best lions in the Pride for the Guard."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhd2ggwfR6 維尼
Simba sighed solemnly as he stared at our small forms growing smaller on the horizon, one of them destined to lead the strongest group of animals in the land.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwkOuuzp2c 維尼
"I hope so, Rafiki," he stated. "I'm still just not sure he's ready..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNcn5Dueaw 維尼
Chapter 6: Wary Suspicions (3rd POV)8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSdIH1xPxt 維尼
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmf745VdEg
A bird was soaring overhead and a loud caw was audible as Sauda trailed next to Kion as they processed and went over the huge amount of information we'd just took in. The dark furred lion cub could tell that Kion was definitely excited enough by the tone of his voice as he spoke, but the way his eyes lit up as he talked about what we'd just learned and the way his tail was practically wagging confirmed it. Sauda giggled at his behavior and listened to what he was saying. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡPceA6Frjki 維尼
"Wow! Me!?" he exclaimed. "Leader of the Lion Guard... Protectors of the Pride Lands!!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFJfIrHayK 維尼
His expression changed with what he said next. "It's kinda scary..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡom0YDbMBVi 維尼
His ears had drooped slightly with the statement and Sauda being the person she was, playfully nudged him in the shoulder hard enough to grab his attention. Kion's head turned to her with a questioning gaze and in response his new friend smirked and then ran in front of him, crouching down rear end raised in the air. 'What is she doing?', the lion cub thought.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4trV2jYbQ 維尼
Sauda noticed he seemed almost seemed bewildered by her actions when he stopped and stared at her confusedly. She thought for a moment on what to do from there and then as if a proverbial lightbulb appeared over head lit up with an idea, she adopted a impish grin before letting out a low growl. Her tail flicking behind her and eyes narrowed with a gleam in them that screamed mischief to Kion, the dark furred female almost seemed to want to play-fight with him! Kion didn't seem to be able to believe what his eyes were seeing. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcKShS1uD7 維尼
Sauda however continued to smirk at him until he too grinned mischievously and lowered his front half down to the ground and began to slowly circle her. Beginning to move as well so he didn't run into her, Sauda looked Kion in the eyes, mentally gauging what his next possible movements would be. Both cubs' ears twitching back in forth, tail ends dancing behind their bodies and sharp feline eyes measuring up each other's opponent, they continued their dance for what seemed like eternity. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNwJnZFFLM 維尼
As a wind blew through grass that towered over them and a splash was heard from the nearby watering hole, Kion's attention was diverted for a split second and when he glanced back to where his friend had been, she wasn't there. He'd barely even looked away from her and she disappeared as if she'd just been a figment of his imagination, just gone! Kion immediately stood up, senses on alert, trying to find out where'd she had gone. Sauda on the other hand had moved behind him, downwind and in a position where Kion wouldn't be able to catch onto his scent with the wind in the air. She'd maneuvered herself into the tall grass behind him, waiting for him to find her. After nearly a minute had gone by without Kion finding her, she decided to scare him. Bunching up the muscles in her powerful hind legs, Sauda raised her rear in the air slightly before she pushed off and extended her front legs out towards the male cub. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIJP5BTtbm 維尼
Tackling him to the ground they rolled around for a moment before Sauda took he chance when Kion was on his back and pinned him by the shoulders. Panting slightly, Kion looked up at his friend who was also panting yet smiling down at him in amusement as she pinned him. Kion froze then, not realizing how pretty Sauda actually looked until just then. Shaking his head to get rid of the random thought, he grunted under her weight as he tried to free himself from the hold. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmFfW0pwTx 維尼
Satisfied with the fact that the prince's mind had been pulled from the doubt surrounding his new responsibility, Sauda got off Kion and stood next to him in order to help him stand back up. Kion shook the dirt away from his mane and then looked over to his friend. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ2rJjygbU 維尼
"What was that about?" Kion asked, a smile on his face.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKGIygmjUm 維尼
Sauda giggled and smiled in response to his question. "Nothing, you just looked like you needed to get your mind off the load of news you just got..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJDWjQkUpp 維尼
Kion stared at her like she was off her rocker for a second before chuckling at her explanation. As he got to know her more, Kion was starting to realize just who Sauda really was through the little things she did. Moments like this for example, told him that she consoled others not with words but with actions showing her affection and concern.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiS6z5Lr2M 維尼
"Hey, Kion... Kion!!" a voice was heard getting louder as it grew closer. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nu2L4f3AQ 維尼
Sauda looked up from Kion and noticed Bunga approaching quickly, not stopping to notice anything in his way or whatever, or whomever he trampled over in his path. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAgJWB781r 維尼
"Huh?" Kion was broken from his thoughts, looking up only to see a flash of gray-blue fur flying towards him. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFmajw28pR 維尼
"Ergh!" Kion grunted as he was thrown to the ground. "Bunga!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Zk8XgV2n 維尼
They rolled for a moment towards the watering hole and then into the body of water. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiJjTkBZVr 維尼
"Ready to start assembling the Lion Guard?" said honey badger asked excitedly after surfacing. "Huh? Now? Yeah? Huh?"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gpahppuGG 維尼
Kion surfaced and spat out the water as Bunga continued to unknowingly splash him in the face. "Yes!-spit- Just stop splashing me!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7BDBTDRE 維尼
"Splashing?" Bunga questioned, ceasing his movements. "Oh, heh heh! Sorry, Kion..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SLW0mQPeO 維尼
Kion simply smiled at the honey badger, "Hakuna Matata, Bunga." 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrRPyAdpH 維尼
Kion and Bunga had gotten out of the water and back onto the shore where they shook out their fur, getting Sauda wet in the process. Shaking the water droplets from her face, the dark lion raised an eyebrow as she commented, "I didn't think today can get anymore weird..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZ3xP0qH6 維尼
"I mean, how did you even get anywhere near the watering hole?" She laughed. "Now c'mon you goofs, time to assemble the Lion Guard!!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYkVMO6av 維尼
Unbeknownst to the three cubs who were surrounding the shore, a sly, hunched over figure sitting up in a scraggly looking tree next to the watering hole could overhear their conversation. Then from out of the shadows of the tree branches a wrinkly head with a small cluster of feathers atop peered into the light, a curious and somewhat devious look on the face. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmUyAXYhb 維尼
"Lion Guard?" the figure voiced, stepping out fully into the light, only to be revealed as a vulture.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3wxPbfB0 維尼
"Hmm..." the vulture voiced to himself.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sOIMzaaif 維尼
Sauda who'd sat down at the water's edge to get a pebble out of her paw, looked up at the tree next to the watering hole where the vulture was sitting. When she saw the hunched figure of the vulture peer his head out of the shadows of the tree branches, her eyes narrowed. What was he up to? No doubt he was listening in on their conversation when the topic turned to the Lion Guard. Sauda kept an eye on the vulture as she walked back over to Kion and Bunga from the water's edge. No way in hell was she letting the vulture get away with hearing anything about the Lion Guard without seeing where he was going after he got the full news. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW59TOE8sg 維尼
"Dad said the Lion Guard needs the Pride Lands' bravest, strongest, fastest, slyest, and keenest of sight," Kion reiterated his father's words. The auburn maned cub smirked mischievously before looking to Bunga and continuing, "So I think I'll go ask the bravest animal in the Pride Lands first..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSlTV7M3ZZ 維尼
The small honey badger's eyes lit up at this news. "Kion, wait! Before you go asking whoever you think is the bravest, think about this..." he said vivaciously.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡo541Y8m8NA 維尼
"I might not be the biggest honey badger..." Bunga's voice took on a more serious tone as he continued. "But I know what's in my heart. And I'm not afraid of anything, or anyone!!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2RLqYJBx1 維尼
Sauda smiled. "It is true, he doesn't appear to be afraid of anything from what I've observed, Bunga's definitely...outgoing."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCHsq51OEL 維尼
Kion nodded to her and turned back to Bunga with a smile. "I know, Bunga. That's why..." he trailed off with the same sly smirk and mischievous tone to his voice from before. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8KXPSFniU 維尼
Not noticing what Kion was up to Bunga continued with his pleas, "I'll help the Lion Guard fight hyenas. Or jackals! Or crocodiles! Or vultures!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡV087NCVY9P 維尼
It was only then that Sauda heard another comment come from their friend in tree, "Vultures?"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCd0uX2Qg 維尼
"Or great big rock slides or wild fires or floods! I will stand with the Lion Guard!" Bunga declared. "I'll never give up! I'll, I'll..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC46BAmkI8 維尼
Before Bunga could could continue Kion interrupted him with a laugh, "Why don't you stop talking so I can ask you to join the Lion Guard?" 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMXY2Du1mh 維尼
Sauda giggled and mentally counted down, "And 3... 2... 1..." 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnzL9TDoi 維尼
Bunga stopped short and stood still, his head tilting and nose curling up in confusion. "Say what?!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl0Inw68HE 維尼
Kion shook his head fondly in exasperation, "Come on, Bunga! You're the bravest animal I know! I want you to be the first to join the new Lion Guard."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdzdoz24qp 維尼
The expression of confusion on Bunga's face immediately turned to uncontrollable excitement as the honey badger practically began to vibrate with pure elation. Sauda had to take a step back when the young mammal just abruptly did a backflip out of nowhere. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡByT1ppNDwU 維尼
"Zuka Zama!" he cried out in pure exhilaration. 8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVUTNax9O 維尼
It was then that he stretched his wings into the air and pushed off the branch heading out towards the Outlands.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡfenlvjlCxQ 維尼
Sauda's attention was once again brought to watch the Vulture's actions once again when she heard him speak once again, "Zuka Zama, indeed....."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW5I0ZfQQ1 維尼
His voice trailed off in thought before he continued with a curious voice, "I wonder if Janja knows about the Lion Guard..."8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4f6pxWgpT 維尼
It was then that he stretched his wings into the air and pushed off the branch heading out towards the Outlands. Sauda having heard the name of the hyena who was declared as the boss of the two hyenas that attacked Bunga in the Outlands earlier that day, knew one thing for certain then and there: Kion and the guard were now going to have to deal with Janja and his lackeys for a while into the future.8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxn6mXaB4G 維尼
Bunga landed and hugged Kion, "You couldn't have made a better choice!!" he exclaimed in glee. "We're gonna make a great team. I can't wait to tell Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa!!"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDJ1cgL5j 維尼
Sauda mentally agreed with the honey badger, for she herself wanted to meet her favorite duo from the Lion King franchise. Sauda followed Kion and Bunga as they began to walk again and bounced slightly with each step she took. Deciding to pretend she was clueless she asked, "Um...who's Timon and Pumbaa? Are they honey badgers too?"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4jrB0te2 維尼
Kion opened his mouth to respond but his words didn't escape his muzzle before he was interrupted by a ear-splitting, high-pitched scream was heard from about half a mile away from them. Kion and Bunga's heads immediately turned in the direction the scream came from with worried expressions on their faces. But Sauda knew where the shriek had originated from and even the owner of said scream and the only thing running through Sauda's head at that revelation was, "Why me....?"8964 copyright protection439ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyExCTwTP1 維尼
