The Lion Guard: Helping Kulinda

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's your father, Beshte?" Kion asked.

"He's fine" Beshte answered.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"Helga's Group is attacking Kulinda" Ono said.

Kion groaned.

"Where are they?" He asked.

"Lake Kizwia" Ono answered.

Kion nodded, and led the way to Lake Kizwia.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave her alone, Helga!" He called.

Helga chuckled.

"I'm terribly sorry, Kion" Helga said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She gently nudged Kulinda towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Helga's Group toppling backwards.

Kion watched them slither off.

He turned to Kulinda.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Kulinda nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard" Kulinda said.

"You're welcome" Beshte answered.

Kulinda spread her wings, and flew off.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Are you okay?" She asked quietly.

Kion nodded.

"Do you want to visit Mari?" He asked.

Fuli nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Guess what, Fuli" Mari said excitedly.

Fuli chuckled.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I'm going to Ukumbusho" Mari answered.

Fuli's expression softened.

"That's wonderful" Fuli said warmly.

She bent her head, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his Tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Grandma and Aunt Maya are coming to Ukumbusho" Nita said.

"Really?" Rafiki asked.

Nita nodded.

"I hope they won't upset Mom." She said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I'm sure they won't." He said gently.
