The Lion Guard: Helping Nita

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How're Timon and Pumbaa?" Ono asked.

"They're fine." Bunga said.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

“Reirei’s Pack is attacking Nita.” He said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

“Where are they?” Fuli asked.

“They’re at the Water Hole.” Ono said.

“Let’s go, Lion Guard.” Kion said.

He led the way to the Water Hole.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

“Leave her alone, Reirei!” He called.

Reirei chuckled.

“Have we made a mistake?” She asked.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

Fuli nodded, and moved forward.

She led Nita towards Beshte.

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

He braced himself, and performed the Roar.

It sent Reirei’s Pack toppling backwards.

Kion watched them stumble towards the border.

He glanced at Nita.

Nita was pressed against Fuli’s pelt.

“Are you okay, Nita?” Kion asked.

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

Nita nodded shakily, and stood up.

“I’m fine.” She said.

Kion curled his tail around Nita’s shoulders.

“Thanks, Lion Guard.” Nita said.

“You’re welcome, Nita” Beshte said gently.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Let’s get you to Pride Rock, Nita.” She said.

She and Kion bade goodbye to their friends, and led Nita towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

She stopped suddenly when she caught sight of Nita.

“What happened?” Mari asked.

Kion and Nita exchanged a glance.

“It’s okay, Mari. I’m fine.” Nita said quickly.

Fuli moved forward, and knelt down to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” She asked.

Mari nodded.

She led Fuli into Kora and Vitani’s cave.

Kion and Nita entered the den, and settled down amongst the moss,

Nita nestled against Kion’s pelt.

“I love you, Kion.” She said.

“I love you too.” Kion answered.
