The Lion Guard: Helping Ajabu

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Mizimu Grove.

"How's Ameba, Fuli?" Kion asked.

"She's fine" Fuli 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 Ajabu" Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance,

"Do hyenas hunt okapis?" Bunga asked.

Kion shook his head.

"Where are they, Ono?" He asked.

"They're at Mapema Rock" Ono answered.

Kion nodded.

He led the way to Mapema Rock.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave him alone, Janja!" He called.

Janja cackled.

"Why should we?" He asked.

Fuli groaned.

She moved forward, and gently pushed Ajabu 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 turned to Ajabu.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Ajabu nodded.

"Thanks, Lion Guard" Ajabu said.

"You're welcome, Ajabu" Beshte said warmly.

Ajabu turned, and walked off.

Kion felt Fuli rub her muzzle against his cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

She pressed her muzzle against Fuli's foreleg.

"Hi!" Mari said excitingly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She leaned down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"How are you today?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I'm glad to see you"' Mari answered.

Kion moved forward, and bent to nuzzle Mari.

"What do you want to do?" He asked.

"I want to hear a story" Mari said.

She grasped Fuli's paw, and dragged her into the den.

Kion chuckled, and followed them.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Are Makini and Mosi okay?" Nita asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"My sister is very grateful" Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and leaned against Rafiki's side.

"I love you" Nita said.

"I love you too" Rafiki answered.
