*Rafiki leads the robot to Pride Rock, gesturing for Wall-E to wait at the bottom for a moment. He climbs the rock and peers around curiously* "Hello? Anyone up 'ere?"
*Wall-E waits below Pride Rock, also scans the environment as well as pick up rocks to look at*
Sarabi hears Rafiki's call. She had been walking back from the watering hole to dry off in the sun upon Pride Rock. Pricking her ears forward curiously, she shifts her walk to a trot and draws closer to Pride Rock and catches sight of Rafiki's lithe figure scurrying about the massive stones. "Rafiki?"
The mandrill's eye is caught by more strange objects descending from the sky in the distance. After leaving his mouth hanging open for a moment, he composes himself and turns at the sound of Sarabi's voice. Rafiki lopes over and greets her with a smile. "Ah, Sarabi, it is wonderful to see you. I wonder...uh..." *His eyes shift anxiously* "Have you noticed anything...of a peculiar sort around here lately?"

*In the distance, Wall-E's head could be seen as well as a hand waving at them*

(xD) One of Sarabi's ears twitch as her gaze drifts beyond Rafiki and settles upon Wall-E. "As a matter of fact, I have. Such as that strange stone creature over there." Her voice betrays her bewilderment. "What is that?"

OOC: Perfect. I love it. XD
Rafiki's expression stiffens as his eyes cut over to Wall-E's hand, waving beyond the rock. He had planned to present the creature to the queen in a more...subtle way, but this would have to do. "Uhm, you see...I'm not quite sure." Rafiki casts another glance over his shoulder, lowering his voice. "I took him to be made of stone just as you did, but he can move -- and he speaks! He calls 'imself 'Woo-all-ee,' so I 'ave been told." The mandrill turns around to look at the little robot, a hint of a fond smile crossing his face. "I don't know what to make of 'im."

*They begin to hear marching.*
Sarabi stiffens, ears pricking forward. "And what is that sound?"
Sarabi stiffens, ears pricking forward. "And what is that sound?"
*Wall-E treads toward Sarabi and Rafiki and joins them in wondering what that sound is. Wall-E performs some digital signal processing Fast Fourier Transform on the frequencies of noises they hear and recognizes the spaceship and marching sound.*

*The Red Guard appear, with Rinzler in the centre. They stop and form a straight horizontal line facing the unfamiliar species before them. They are silent.*

Sarabi stares at the strange figures standing before them, bristling with warning. Without taking her eyes off the foreign creatures, she murmurs, "Rafiki--do you know what these are?"

Rafiki has gone stone-stiff beside the lioness, seemingly frozen as he stares at the unfamiliar beings. He scours his thoughts for any memory of such creatures, but in all his years of experience he has never seen anything like this. "No, I- 'ave no idea." His voice is a hasty whisper, his paw tightening around his stick. Rafiki's yellow eyes narrow and flick to Wall-E for a second. "Do you think dey've come for this other creature?"

*Rinzler steps forward, still silent and intimidating as ever. He pulls from his back two discs, which emit noise and begin to glow orange and white. He enters a combat pose.*

*Wall-E, scared out of his mind, hides right behind Rafiki, shaking and pointing at Rinzler*

Sarabi unsheathes her claws and steps in front of Wall-E and Rafiki. "Rafiki," she growls softly. "Run and get Simba--get the rest of the pride, if you can. I have a feeling these creatures are hostile."
