Akito and Estelle in Simba's Pride

chapter 8

After a while, everyone was ready for the day as they arrived at the Savanna. Vincent and Jenny looked very excited about visiting the Pridelands. Emi and Lee were excited as well.

"Okay, I think we have enough distance from any animals to not startle them." Jimmy Z said.

"Oh, trust me, we'll be fine." Mo reassured about having contact with the animals.

"I invented something else for help understanding the animals." Aviva said before bringing out devices that looked like ear pieces.

"We're good there too." Cherry said.

"You guys sound so sure." Chris replied.

"Let's just say we have our way in understanding them." Atticus said.

"As it has been our whole lives," Cherry said. "We never knew how it came to happen, but we were just born with it."

"Well, for the rest of us; we'll be using animal translators." Aviva said.

"You do that." Mo nodded.

The Wild Kratts soon put on their animal translators and where they were going to have the rest of the kids have some only they said the same thing. Once they were ready, they then moved out to visit Pride Rock. And where they brought along the creature and Pokémon power discs and creature power suits.

"These lions aren't gonna eat us, are they?" Lee asked.

"Lee, relax," Estelle replied. "I've known Kion, Kiara, and Kopa since they were cubs, and Mom, Dad, Aunt Cherry, and Uncle Forte knew Simba and Nala when they were cubs, you'll be fine."

"Whew." Lee sighed.

Estelle giggled. "You worry wart."

They all soon left the Tortuga and where they didn't take the Createrra. Atticus, Cherry, Forte, and Mo led the way to the Pridelands.

"This is so exciting." Lee smiled.

"It's gonna get even better." Estelle smiled to his excitement.

"Ooh." Lee smiled.

Estelle smiled as they went off to explore the jungles.

"And we should be turning into lions now." Felicity said.

"Lions?" Lee, Jenny, and Emi asked, wondering why she would say that until suddenly, it became true and it happened.

And where all of them, besides the pets and Pokémon, became lions.

"Ah, it's good to be back..." Cherry stretched once she was in lion form.

"This is so awesome!" Chris smiled.

"Where do we go now?" Martin wondered.

"Follow us, we'll take you to Pride Rock." Cherry said.

"Lead the way." Aviva said.

And so they did and it was just a normal morning in the jungle so far, even though Kopa was still a little hurt about his father's denial about making peace with the Jungle Emperor's Pride. Kiara was with Zuri and Tiifu, having some girl talk and Kiara told them she thinks she should convince Simba to have a hunt alone for the first time since he's been way too overprotective lately since her encounter with Kovu. Kion was spending time with the Lion Guard going on patrol to see how everything was doing.

"Uh, Kion, about the other night?" Fuli spoke up.

"Hey, don't worry about it," Kion replied. "Um, it's okay."

"You sure?" Fuli asked.

"Don't worry about it, it's gonna be okay..." Kion said.

"Kion, someone's coming into the Pridelands!" Ono flew over urgently.
