It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.
The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in 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.
"What'd you see?" Fuli asked.
Ono cleared his throat.
"Janja's Clan is attacking Mbuni" he said.
Instantly, Kion turned to his friends.
"Until the Pridelands end" he recited.
"Lion Guard defend!" Fuli, Ono, Beshte, and Bunga chorused.
"Lead the way Ono" Kion said.
Ono nodded.
When they reached Hapuna Valley, Kion gasped when he saw Mbuni cornered against a baobab tree.
"Janja!, get away from her!"' Kion cried.
Janja cackled.
Kion turned to Fuli.
"Go get Mbuni" he said quietly.
Fuli nodded and darted forward.
Kion watched as she steered Mbuni away from Janja's Clan, before unsheathing his claws.
He braced himself and performed the Roar.
It sent Janja's Clan toppling backwards.
Once he and his clan had disappeared, Kion padded up to Mbuni.
"Are you okay, Mbuni?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Kion" Mbuni answered.
“You’re welcome.” Kion said.
Meanwhile, Nita had ventured to Rafiki's Tree.
She was helping him count jumper berries.
"Can we visit Midnight soon?" Nita asked.
Rafiki nodded.
"If you'd like" he said warmly.
Nita nodded.
"We haven't seen her in ages, I want to tell her about Mari" she said.
Rafiki reached past her, and grasped a pile of borage leaves.
"I shall arrange it then, Nita" he said warmly.
"Thanks Rafiki" Nita answered.
"How is dear Mari?" Rafiki asked.
"She is growing up really fast, Nana's taught her how to swim" Nita said.
"She certainly is a precious cub" Rafiki said.
