The Lion Guard: Helping Nala

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"Is Nita feeling okay?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

He 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 Queen Nala." He said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where are they?" Kion asked quickly.

"They're at Huwezi Falls." Ono answered.

Kion began flexing his claws.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against his cheek.

"It's okay, we're going to save her." She said.

Ono led the way to Huwezi Falls.

When they arrived, Kion stopped suddenly.

"Mom!" He called anxiously.

moved forward.

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Janja's Clan toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stubble towards the border.

He sank down, and began to sob.

Instantly, Nala moved forward.

She curled her tail around his shoulders.

"Darling, it's okay" Nala said soothingly.

Kion nestled closer to her.

"I'm sorry, Mom." He said tearfully.

Nala gently titled Kion's chin up.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Nala said.

"Can we go home?" Kion asked.

Nala nodded.

She stood up, and bent to grasp Kion's scruff.

"I know you're too old for this." She said.

"I don't care" Kion said quickly.

Nala began to lead the way back to Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Simba rushed to greet them.

"What happened?" He asked.

"We'll talk about it later." Nala said quickly.

She watched Bunga lead Beshte, Ono, and Fuli into Timon and Pumbaa's cave.

Simba nodded.

"Are you okay, Kion?" He asked.

Kion nodded.

Nala moved forward, and settled beside Simba.

She set Kion down beside her.

Simba rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"I don't want to lose either of you" Kion said.

"You never will." Nala said gently.

"We will always be here." Simba added.
