The Lion Guard: Helping Tumbili

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine". Kion said

He 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 Tumbili's Troop" Ono said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Where?" Beshte asked.

"Lake Matope" Ono answered.

"Let's go, Lion Guard"' Kion said.

He led the way to Lake Matope.

When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.

"Leave them alone, Reirei!" He called.

Reirei glanced up.

"Have we made a mistake?" She asked.

Fuli groaned.

She moved forward to guide the troop away.

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 turned to Tumbili.

"Is everyone okay?" Kion asked.

Tumbili nodded.

"Thank you, Lion Guard" Tumbili said.

"You're welcome" Beshte said.

He and Kion watched the troop scamper off.

Fuli rubbed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

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

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" Mari said excitingly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She rubbed a paw against Mari's cheek.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm good" Marigold answered.

Kion moved forward, and bent to nuzzle Mari.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Mari wants to meet Makini" Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I shall speak to my sister" Rafiki said.

He reached over, and placed a palm on Nita's shoulder.

Nita leaned into his embrace.
