The Lion Guard: Helping Ayla

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Basi?" Kion asked.

"He's fine." Beshte said.

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 Ayla." 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 led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave her alone, Janja!" He called.

Janja cackled.

"Queen Nala’s aunt could be useful." He said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Ayla 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 Ayla.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Ayla nodded.

"Thank you, Kion." She said.

"You're welcome." Kion answered.

He moved forward, and nestled against her.

"I love you." Kion said.

Ayla curled a paw around his shoulders.

"I love you too." She answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba's cheek.

"I love you." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba purred.
