During a rainstorm, Masikio and his fellow hares were scared into their dens by the presence of a harrier hawk named Mpishi. However, the Lion Guard arrived, frightening her off.

The rain caused a mudslide, but Masikio was too frightened to leave his den. Bunga attempted to coerce the hares out. When they refused, he used his flatulence to drive them from the den. After the rescue, Masikio noticed that his sister was not among them. Kion braved the mudslide to rescue the hare, and Masikio had a delighted reunion with his sister.[1]
