It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.
The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.
"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.
"She's fine." Kion answered.
He 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 Tamaa" Ono said.
Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.
"Where are they, Ono?" Fuli asked.
"They’re at Lake Matope." Ono answered.
"Come on, Lion Guard." Kion said.
He led the way to Lake Matope.
When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.
"Leave him alone, Janja!" He called.
Janja cackled.
"We're between you and the bird." Janja said.
Fuli groaned.
She moved forward, and gently nudged Tamaa 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 Tamaa.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Tamaa nodded.
"Thanks, Lion Guard." Tamaa said.
"You're welcome." Beshte answered.
Tamaa spread his wings, and flew off.
Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.
"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.
Kion nodded.
He and Fuli bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.
When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.
"Hi!" Mari said brightly.
Fuli's expression softened.
"Hi Mari." Fuli said warmly.
She moved forward, and knelt down to nuzzle Mari's cheek.
Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.
“Are you having a good day?” He asked.
Marigold nodded.
