Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands[]
Tamka and his float attack Timon and Pumbaa at Lake Matope, and the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, and Jasiri arrive to stop them. Kion immediately bounds forward, and when the crocodiles refuse to leave, roars them away. Later, Kiburi's Float meet at Broken Rock with other antagonists. After a while, they again meet at the volcano, and Kiburi's Float agrees to go after Rafiki. However, Rafiki swiftly defeats them without anyone's help. Later, Scar tells Shupavu to fetch Kiburi's Float, wanting an attack to keep Kion and the Lion Guard busy. They confront Sarabi at Urembo River, and the Lion Guard and their allies arrive to stop them. Nduli and Tamka stand beside Kiburi, refusing to return to the Outlands, and Kion formulates a battle plan. He tells Rani, Jasiri, Baliyo, and Anga to handle Tamka and Nduli, and at once, a battle breaks out. Fuli immediately slams into Tamka, sending him flying into a baobab tree. Kion soon calls for a regroup, and once everyone is behind him, he roars the crocodiles out of the Pride Lands. Back at Pride Rock, Kion mentions that they defeated Kiburi's Float.
Later, Ono reports that Kiburi's Float is attacking Kohana and Mahuluti at Lake Kiziwa. Upon being reminded of Kohana's fear of crocodiles, the Lion Guard, Anga, and Mhina immediately rush to save them. When they arrive, Kion assigns Fuli and Beshte to protect Kohana, while the others deal with the float. Mahuluti lunges at Tamka, pinning him to the ground, and Kion uses the Roar to send the crocodiles away. During another meeting Scar holds, Kiburi's Float is present with Janja's Clan and Reirei's Pack. As the hyenas and jackals attack Rafiki and Makini, Kiburi's Float joins the battle, and Kion assigns Ono and Anga to deal with the crocodiles. They swoop in on Nduli and Tamka, and they crash into a baobab tree. Eventually, the Outlanders are defeated by Kion, who uses the Roar to drive them away. Soon after, Kiburi's Float attacks Kuuma and Mahuluti at Lake Shangaza, and the Lion Guard and their allies arrive to stop them. During the fight, Fuli kicks Tamka into an acacia tree. Eventually, Kion roars the crocodiles away. When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, he orders the jackals and crocodiles to conquer Mizimu Grove.
They cross the border, which gets the attention of Zazu, and he tells Simba, who tells him to warn the Lion Guard. Upon finding out, Kion sends Beshte and Fuli to Mizimu Grove, but it soon becomes clear that they need help. Simba sends Jivin, Baliyo, and Rani to help, and they charge into battle. Later, on orders from Scar, the army fights Kion's forces, and Ma Tembo sends Reirei into Goigoi, Nduli, and Tamka. Eventually, the Outlanders retreat.
