The Lion Guard: Rescuing A Niece

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"Makuu's Float is attacking Nita." Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“She’s really afraid of crocodiles.” Kion said.

“Where are they, Ono?” Fuli asked quickly.

“They’re at Lake Kizwia.” Ono answered.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Lake Kizwia.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Makuu!” Kion called.

Makuu chuckled.

"What are you going to do, Kion?” He asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

“Come with me, sweetheart.” Fuli said gently.

She guided Nita towards Beshte.

Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Makuu’s Float toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stalk off.

He glanced at Nita.

Nita was nestled against Fuli’s pelt.

“Are you okay, Nita?” Kion asked gently.

Nita nodded.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” Nita said shakily.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“You’re welcome, my darling.” Fuli said warmly.

She rubbed a paw against Nita’s cheek.

"You're safe now, darling." Fuli said soothingly.

Kion moved forward, and knelt down to nuzzle Nita’s cheek.

“I love you, Nita.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Nita answered.

Fuli knelt down, and nuzzled Nita’s cheek.

“It’s okay, sweetheart.” Fuli said gently.

“I really don’t like crocodiles.” Nita said tearfully.

“We know, darling.” Fuli said comfortingly.

Beshte’s expression softened.

“We understand, Nita.” Beshte said gently.

Bunga and Ono nodded.

Nita pressed herself against Kion’s side.

“I want to go home, Kion.” Nita said quietly.

Kion’s expression softened.

“Okay, we’ll take you home.” Kion said.

He bent his head, and nuzzled Nita’s cheek.

“Are the crocodiles gone?” Nita asked.

Beshte nodded.

“Don’t worry, Nita.” Beshte said soothingly.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“Kiara wants to hunt with you tonight.” Nala said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I’ll join the evening hunt.” Simba said.
