The Lion Guard: Helping Bemba

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"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 Bemba." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

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

"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 lioness." He said.

“She’s also someone I love.” Kion snapped.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Bemba 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 Bemba.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Bemba nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard.” Bemba said.

“You’re welcome.” Kion said.

Kion moved forward, and nestled against her pelt.

"I love you." Kion said.

Bemba's expression softened.

"I love you too." Bemba said warmly.

She rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Did you like Uncle Kopa's speech?" Nita asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"I enjoyed it very much." He said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

"I love you." Nita said.

"I love you too." Rafiki answered.
