The Lion Guard: Helping Maple

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Mizimu Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"Janja's Clan is attacking Maple." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

"They're at the Water Hole." Ono answered.

"Come on, Lion Guard." Kion said.

He and Fuli led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Get out of the Pridelands, Janja!" He called.

Janja cackled.

"She's just an old cheetah, Kion." Janja said.

Fuli growled.

"She's also my grandmother." Fuli snapped.

"Easy, Fuli" Beshte said gently.

Bunga moved forward to guide Maple away.

Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Janja's Clan toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stumble towards the border.

Kion glanced at Maple.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Maple nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard." Maple said.

"You're welcome." Beshte answered.

Fuli rubbed her muzzle against Maple’s cheek.

"Let me take you home, Grandma." Fuli said.

"All right, Fuli." Maple answered.

Fuli glanced at Kion.

Kion nodded.

Fuli began to lead Maple to Kesho and Beba's cave.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt, Grandma?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
