#1 of The Lion Guard SFW

My first SFW about The Lion Guard.

Here you will find what the series didn't show. Includes an alternative ending.

Jasiri travels with Janja to the Tree of Life to warn Kion that the Pride Lands are in danger.

Janja tries to show her feelings to Jasiri. But she seems to love a certain lion.


MOMENT 1 - The Pride Lands Need Help

JASIRI: A lot has happened since the final battle against Scar and his army. Kion left with his friends to the Tree of Life and I became leader of the Outlands, where some enemies became friends. Janja and I have been close and I think he loves me. I don't know how to say that I don't like him the same way. I'm afraid of hurt him. Not so long ago, Janja invited me to spend the day with him. "And who will lead in my place?", I asked him. "Well... How about Madoa?" At first, I didn't want to give my sister so much responsibility, but then I remembered how brave she was in the past to defend me and help me fight alongside Kion. So, I decided to accept Janja's suggestion. "Madoa. You'll lead the Outlands while I'm out. I totally trust you." "You can count on me, Jasiri." Then Janja and I left and let my sister Madoa to lead the Outlands for a day. That morning, we went to the Pride Lands to relax for a while and have fun chasing gazelles. Always respecting the circle of life, of course. However, we hear a lot of noise. Something was going on. But we wanted to take the day to relax and we didn't pay much attention to what was going on around us. At lunchtime, Janja and I shared our hunting memories. But Janja's memories always ended with him and his clan getting kicked by the Lion Guard. I have to admit: Kion was always strong, even when he was younger. "I still feel the body stepped on, after so long." "Hahaha! Oh, Janja.", I just laughed at the thought and blushed at Kion's moves and blows. He was always a good fighter. Between the laughs, I realized that Janja was also blushing, but I didn't care. We continued to enjoy the day, but, at the middle of the afternoon, we heard more noise and decided to get away from the Pride Lands. A little further away, we took the opportunity to stroll and talk. I don't remember how, but Janja ended up talking about the motto "Sisi Ni Sawa" and how I managed to change him. First, I didn't change him. I just gave him a little help. He was never mean. He just needed a push to the right side. Second: "Sisi Ni Sawa" just reminds me of Kion. At that moment, my mind traveled to the day I met Kion. He and I were suspicious of each other, but we quickly realized that we had a lot in common: "Sisi Ni Sawa". Even today I feel a slight shiver in my body when I remember that day. I had blushed again, but I disguised it quickly, not wanting Janja to notice. The night was approaching and we decided to go back home, before it got dark. On the way to the Outlands, crossing the Pride Lands, we realized that there was no sign of animals around us. It was when we looked at the Pride Rock that we saw a huge group of animals that looked revolted. (About to sing "Not One of Us".) "Something's wrong, Janja. We'd better go see if they need help.", I started to run, but Janja quickly stopped me. "We better not, Jasiri. Simba is the king. Let him handle that. Besides, we took the day to relax, remember?" "You're right. Let's go.", I gave in, despite my concern. When we returned to the Outlands, we were well received by the other hyenas. While Cheezi and Chungu jumped on Janja, Wema and Tunu came running to hug me. But my sister didn't seem very happy. "Finally you're back, Jasiri." "Is something wrong, Madoa?" "I'm not sure. Mzingo told me that his parliament observed a clash between lions in an area further from the Outlands." (When Nuka dies.) "Did Zira come back?" "It's possible. But we're not sure." "Something is definitely wrong." "Why do you say that?" "The Pride Lands have been very agitated today. And when we were coming here, we saw a group of revolted animals, next to the Pride Rock." "What can we do?" "I know what you can do." A familiar voice made my sister and I look back. "Kiara?!" "Jasiri. I need your help." "What's going on, Kiara?" "We're being attacked by a group of lionesses, led by Zira." "I knew she was up to something." "You... You know her?!" "It's a long story. But... how can I help you?" "I need you to get Kion back." "Kion?!", my sister and I were amazed by the suggestion. "But I don't even know where he is." I warned. "Kion is at the Tree Of Life. According to Rafiki's instructions, you have to cross the Back Lands, the Snow Mountains, the Marsh Of Mystery, the Desert and the Big Lake, until you reach a Rocky Gorge that is the entrance to the Tree Of Life." "What?! Kiara! That will take days!" "We have no choice. Only Kion and the Guard can help us. Only the roar can save us from Zira and her allies." "So maybe it's better to take someone with me." "I will.", Janja suddenly appeared. "Great. Thank you, Jasiri. Now I will look for a... uh... friend.", Kiara seemed happy when talking about that "friend". (When Kiara went looking for Kovu, before Love Will Find A Way.) "Well, Madoa. It looks like you're going to lead more than one day." "Don't worry, Jasiri. They really need help as soon as possible." "Sure, Madoa. Janja. You better go rest. We left before dawn. We have a long journey ahead of us." "Sure, jasiri. Hum... Where are we supposed to go?!" "We have to find Kion at the Tree Of Life." "Oh no."

MOMENT 2 - Seeking Help

JANJA: I didn't want to believe it. I had one of the happiest days of my life. I had spent the whole day with Jasiri, the most beautiful and fun hyena in the whole world. And I had already planned that day for some time. Basically, I was going for a walk and have fun, have a good time with Jasiri, and at the end of the day, I was going to invite her to see the stars, taking the opportunity to ask her to be my mate. But, as always, my plans were broken. The meddling Kiara had to show up and ruin everything. Who cares if the Pride Lands were in danger? Simba is the king. Let him handle the matter. But, after thinking a lot, I realized that this was an opportunity to spend more time with Jasiri. "Wake up, Janja. We gotta go." "I'll be right behind you, Jasiri.", I got up, a little sleepy. In the morning, Jasiri and I crossed the Back Lands, where we fought two leopards. Okay. Jasiri did all the work. But that was because I was still tired of getting up too early. In the afternoon, we crossed some snowy mountains, where I took the opportunity to cozy up to the beautiful hyena with whom I traveled. "Janja?! What are you doing?!" "Come on, Jasiri. It's cold." "Fine." Jasiri's body was so hot. I didn't mind being leaning against it a lot of time. We managed to walk fast enough to reach the entrance of a marsh before nightfall. We decided to spend the night there. That place wasn't exactly cute, but I decided to take advantage of the fact that we were alone to try to declare myself: "Jasiri. You... You... You are... You are..." "What is it, Janja? Are you still cold? Hahaha." She was always playful and I should be used to it, but whenever she laughs, I am speechless. I was silent for a while, thinking about how I should declare myself to Jasiri. That was when she interrupted my thoughts: "Do you think we'll find Kion in time?" "W-What?!" "This trip is a long one. Even if we arrive at the Tree Of Life tomorrow, Kion may not reach the Pride Lands in time." I tried to calm her down: "Relax, Jasiri. You're talking about Kion. He's going to make it. You'll see." "You're right. Kion is very brave, strong, intelligent and determined. He'll be able to fix things." My heart almost stopped when I saw Jasiri blushing while talking about Kion. I know they are just friends, but I'm afraid she'll reject me to be with him. With some courage inside me, I decided to move forward: "Jasiri. I..." "It's getting late, Janja. We better rest." "Oh. Yes. Ok." Once again, I was unable to declare myself. We woke up before dawn and continued our journey. After crossing the marsh (I almost fell into a hole), it took us a whole day to cross the desert and we spend the night next to a giant lake. The next morning, I decided to drink water, but it was salty. Once again, I made a fool of myself in front of Jasiri. In the afternoon, we crossed a forest, where I was attacked by two porcupines, after having stepped on some purple flowers. I would like to make Jasiri laugh in another way, but at least I was cheering her up. I just wish she didn't talk about Kion so much. That night, Jasiri spoke again about Kion: "We shouldn't be far. I miss Kion a lot. You don't, Janja?" "Well. Yes, but..." "I know we haven't been together very often, but I miss him. We had good moments. And he saved me more than once." "Yes. I remember that." "Oops. Sorry, Janja. But Kion is..." "Brave, strong, intelligent and determined. Yes, yes. You said all that. Can we go to sleep now?" I was getting tired of hearing Jasiri praise Kion. I like him. Seriously. But I can't stand Jasiri to give him more caring than me. We got up early again and arrived at the Tree of Life that morning. Jasiri was happy to see Kion. I was also happy, but I didn't take that much importance. Jasiri wasted no time explaining to Kion what was going on. Finally. The sooner we got this resolved, the sooner I got back with Jasiri to the Outlands.

MOMENT 3 - Return And Changes

KION: We had finally reached the Outlands. But as soon as we were going to cross the border, we were approached by some lionesses who attacked us. They were strong, but we were more. Besides, I had Jasiri to help me. Whenever I remember the times I fought beside her, my body gets hot and I start to shake. Finally, Kiara appeared and defended our enemies. Before returning home with her and my friends, I said goodbye to Jasiri, thanking her for her help. It was weird. At that moment, my heart accelerated, especially when our heads touched. I noticed that Janja made a strange face when she saw us petting each other, but I didn't care. After Rafiki explained everything, things got uncomfortable. We couldn't have been replaced. So we planned a contest to define who was the real Lion Guard. However, I had my head elsewhere. That night, watching the stars, I started to think about everything I've ever lived, since I became leader of the Lion Guard. There were incredible adventures I had with my friends. But as for my heart, it was divided. At the Tree of Life, I met a beautiful, brave and kind lioness. Rani was really amazing. She declared herself to me and I was confident that I loved her too. But things changed, as soon as I saw Jasiri again. Jasiri is a super fun, determined, confident and attractive hyena. I started to remember the many moments I spent with her and it warmed my body again and accelerated my heart. It was then that my sister appeared and I vented with her. "I don't know what to do. I like Rani a lot, but Jasiri always made me happy with her presence. I'm completely divided." "Kion. I now know what love is. Kovu makes me feel special. When I'm with him, it seems that there are no problems and that only we exist in the world. In addition, being with him also makes me feel stronger and helps me make good decisions. But above all, he's the only lion that makes me daydream. So what about you? Who makes you feel this way? Rani or Jasiri?" I smiled, thinking about her. The next day, I had to compete with Vitani for the Lion Guard. However, I only remembered the conversation I had the previous night with Kiara. That made me make a decision. I delivered the roar to Vitani, letting her command her Guard to protect the Pride Lands. After that, each of us went on with his life. My friends wanted to return to the Tree Of Life. And I? I just ran to go back to the girl of my dreams.

MOMENT 4 - Happiness

KION: I crossed the border and went straight to Jasiri. I didn't want to waste a lot of time and decided to tell her how I felt right in that moment. I was surprised and, at the same time, very happy, as soon as I heard her answer: "Oh, Kion. You just made me the luckiest hyena in the Outlands. Of course I want to be your girlfriend." It was then that we kissed.

JASIRI: I didn't want to believe it. Kion declared himself to me and we were kissing. I felt like the happiest hyena in the world. As soon as we separated from the kiss, I asked him: "So... what are you going to do now, Kion?" "I spoke to my father and he accepted that I come to live with you, so that we can lead the Outlands together." "Oh, Kion! This is fantastic! I really love you very much and I will always love you."

JANJA: It was in that moment that I was sure I was the most unhappy hyena in the world. This morning I declared myself to Jasiri, but she rejected me, saying that she was in love with Kion. I already suspected that, but it was still a shock to me. And now that they were together, and with all these revelations, I was really sad. It was then that I felt someone leaning against me. "Don't feel sad, Janja.", It was Madoa who tried to comfort me. "I'm sure that one day you will find someone who loves you." "Th-Thank you, Madoa.", Her smile made me smile too. You know what? I didn't know it at the time, but she was right. I really found someone who loves me. And she was always next to me.

JASIRI: "Bye, Madoa! Take care of Janja!" "Bye!" It's true. Janja and Madoa are now together and have decided to look for a home just for them. I'm happy for them. And I'm also very happy to have Kion by my side. I enter the cave and see my beloved lion playing with Wema and Tunu. That vision only made me think: "Kion would be a great father." I smiled and entered the cave, joining them for the fun.
