The Lion Guard: Protecting Juhudi

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani 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 Juhudi.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Water Hole.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“She’s just one giraffe.” Janja said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Juhudi towards Beshte.

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.

He glanced at Juhudi.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Juhudi nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” Juhudi said.

“You’re welcome.” Beshte said.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

“I love you, Rafiki.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said warmly.
