The Lion Guard: Protecting Kuchimba

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Ma?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Bunga answered.

Kion 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 Kuchimba.” Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Zuberi River.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Zuberi River.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave him alone, Janja!” He called.

Janja cackled.

“Why should we?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She guided Kuchimba 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 Kuchimba.

“Are you okay, Kuchimba?” Kion asked.

Kuchimba nodded.

“Thank you, Lion Guard.” Kuchimba said.

“You’re welcome.” Ono said.

Beshte cleared his throat.

“I’ll take you home, Kuchimba.” He said.

“Okay.” Kuchimba said.

“I’ll come with you to help him down.” Fuli said.

Beshte knelt down, and Fuli carefully helped Kuchimba climb onto his back.

She climbed up behind him.

Kion watched Beshte walk towards Hapuna Valley.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"Did the hunt go well?" Simba asked.

Nala nodded.
