The Lion Guard: Helping Diku

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Urembo Meadows.

"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 Diku." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Fuli asked.

"They’re at Lake Matope." Ono answered.

"Let's go, Lion Guard." Kion said.

He led the way to Lake Matope.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

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

Janja cackled.

"Why should we?" He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Diku 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 Diku.

"Are you okay?" Kion asked.

Diku nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard.” Diku said.

“You’re welcome.” Kion said.

Diku extended a paw, and Kion nestled against her pelt.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too" Diku answered.

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.

"How is Mari?" Rafiki asked.

"She's fine." Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against him.

"I love you, Rafiki." Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too" Rafiki said.
