Lion Guard, let's go!

Thanks, Lion Guard.

Everyone! Everyone!

Ma tembo and the elephants.
They're under att*ck!

Another emergency?

Un-Bunga-lievable!

That's the fifth one
today. And it's still morning!

And this is just the
start of the dry season!

Guess it's gonna
be one of those days.

Yeah, I guess so.

Come on, everybody, let's go!

Till the pride lands end...

Lion Guard defend!

- You sure about this, Janja?
- Sure. I'm sure.

Elephants are
delicious this time a year!

Especially the little ones!

- Come here, elephant!
- Yeah! We just wanna eat you!

Get away!

Don't let them frighten you!

Keep the young ones
in the center of the herd!

Uh, what are the hyenas even
thinking taking on elephants?

Like my dad always says,

live long enough, and
you'll see everything!

Well, I've seen enough!

Yeah! Give them the roar, Kion!

Send those hyenas flying!

No.

It's way too crazy down there.

If I use the roar, I might
hurt the elephants too.

Bunga, you, me and Ono will
chase the hyenas out of the herd.

Fuli, you round them up.

Beshte, you send them flying.

You got it, Kion!

Get away from the elephants!

Hey!

Watch where you're
pointing that beak!

- Now we got you!
- Yeah!

Janja!

Kion!

Uh, have you met nne?

Nne, Kion. Talk
amongst yourselves!

Wait for me, Janja!

Oh, no, you don't!

Come on, boys! This way!

Beshte, now!

Twende kiboko!

Oh, no...

Ha! Ooh!

Phew!

Get out of here, Janja!

Come on, fellas! Let's scram!

Guess we showed them.

Every time I run
into the Lion Guard,

I'm the one getting run over.

Someday, they'll regret it.

Is everyone all right?

Yes, thanks to
you and the guard.

I still can't believe the hyenas
would try to att*ck you elephants.

I expect there isn't much left
for them to eat in the outlands.

Maybe if they respected
the circle of life,

they'd still have food to eat.

Perhaps.

But the dry times
are hard for everyone.

Even us elephants.

Have you found a new
water source for your herd?

No. But this is my first
time leading the search.

Hearing underground water is a
bit more difficult than I expected.

And att*cks from
hyenas don't help.

Well, now that they're gone,
you're safe to keep looking.

Yes, ma tembo! Keep looking!

Water, here we come!

Yes. Here we come.

Caring for others
during the dry season

is a bigger responsibility
than I was expecting.

I know exactly what you mean.

Ono, keep an eye on the elephants
in case the hyenas come back.

Affirmative!

- We heading back to the lair?
- I'll meet up with you there.

I need to talk to someone first.

Kion.

Something's troubling you.

Yes, grandfather.

The dry season has just started,

and the guard's
been busier than ever.

It seems like everybody
needs the Lion Guard's help.

What did they do
before we were here?

Can't they take
care of themselves?

Yeah. I guess.

The Lion Guard has
done a wonderful job

protecting the pride lands
during the wet season.

But the dry season will
bring even more challenges.

I know. There's
less food and water,

and the heat slows
everyone down.

And you know what happens when
animals are tired, hungry and thirsty.

They don't always
make the best decisions.

The dry season's even got
me feeling kind of snippy.

I know.

I'll be careful not to
lose control of the roar.

Oh!

Thank you, grandfather.

You were talking to your
grandfather, Mufasa, weren't you?

What? How did
you...? Who are you?

I'm makini! I'm
Rafiki's new apprentice!

Rafiki's new apprentice?

Oh, well, that explains...

Yep! That's me.

Someday, I'll be a royal mjuzi,

knowledge keeper of the
pride lands, just like him!

It's so exciting!

Rafiki says if I'm quiet, I'll be able
to hear lions of the past like he does.

But I still haven't heard them!

I only heard what
you were saying.

Can you believe
it? I can't believe it.

I kind of believe it.

But then again, I only
learned about it yesterday!

It's so amazing you can
talk to Mufasa like that!

Talk to Mufasa?

Makini, shh!

Rafiki doesn't talk about being
able to hear the lions of the past.

If everyone knew the
things Rafiki can do,

nobody in the pride lands
would leave him alone!

Oh, yeah.

Even I only talk to Mufasa
when I really need advice.

Hmmm.

No wonder Kion always
outsmarts the hyenas.

He's getting advice from the wisest
lion the pride lands has ever known!

Speaking of Rafiki, I'm on
my way to his tree right now.

Because, you know,
today's my big day!

♪ For now is my time ♪

♪ today is my day ♪

♪ I'm finally here and
nothing can stand in my... ♪

- Kion! Kion!
- Way.

The hyenas! They're back!

What? Don't tell me they're
after the elephants again.

Uh, no. Not really.

Now they're after the baboons that
have started following the elephants.

Okay. Go tell the
rest of the guard.

I flew by the lair first.
They're already on their way.

Then let's go!

Nice meeting you, makini!

Good luck training with Rafiki!

Thanks, Kion!

Split up, boys! Get as
many baboons as you can!

- I can almost taste them!
- Oh, yeah? Taste this!

Twende kiboko.

Baboons!

Don't you get it?
We're trying to help you!

Come on, Fuli!
This is kind of fun!

Whoa!

There you go. Hey!

I can't rescue you if
you won't stay rescued!

Lion Guard, regroup!

Kion!

Am I glad to see you!

Every time we save a baboon,
they run off after the elephants again.

And then the hyenas go
after the baboons again!

Don't worry. I've got a plan.

Want me to send
them flying again?

Not this time, Beshte.

Ono, have ma tembo lead the elephants
to the base of that cliff wall.

You three, make sure the baboons
keep following the elephants.

But, Kion, then the hyenas will have
the elephants and baboons cornered.

That's exactly what I
want the hyenas to think.

What are you gonna do, Kion?

I'm going to the
top of that cliff.

This way, everyone! Hurry!

Ooh, ooh! Yes!

Follow ma tembo!

That's right,
baboonies. Keep going!

Come on, boys! They're
headed for that cliff wall!

We got them cornered!

That's far enough, Janja!

Go on back to the outlands!

And leave this
baboon-elephant feast behind?

Oh, I don't think so!

Janja!

I've had enough of
you and your hyenas!

Uh, Kion?

Right. Don't lose control.

That ought to teach them!

Baboons, what's
going on with you guys?

We were following ma tembo!

Oh, of course.

The baboons always
follow the elephants

to new water sources
in the dry season.

Common knowledge, really.

It's true.

And usually, there's
enough water for everyone.

Well, if you're okay with it.

Yes. It's my responsibility.

My role in the circle of life.

And as soon as I hear
the new water source,

everything will be fine.

Don't you worry, ma tembo!

Now that Kion's sent
those hyenas flying,

you won't have any
problem finding your water!

I hope that's true.

Ooh! Aah!

Though I almost prefer
the hyenas to the baboons.

I hear you.

Good luck, ma tembo.

Thank you, Kion.

Wish there was something more
we could do to help ma tembo.

Me too, Beshte.

But this is ma tembo's role.

Just like defending
the pride lands is ours.

We know you can do it, ma tembo!

Yeah, come on!

Water, water, water!

Water, water, water!

Water, water, water!
Water, water, water!

Still, I should probably mention
what's going on to my dad.

I'm so excited, Rafiki!

I can't believe I'm finally
starting my training!

The new stripes on your
face and the color of your nose

mean you're old enough
to be a royal mjuzi.

But you must learn to be quiet
to hear the lions of the past.

Oooh, yes! I know!

I can't wait to learn
how to hear them!

Good.

Did I tell you I saw Kion
talking to Mufasa this morning?

It was amazing!

Yes. Now...

But he said you don't talk about
hearing the lions of the past.

- Yes, because...
- no, no, no!

I totally, totally get it.

It's just that it's so
hard not to talk about it!

♪ For now is my time ♪

♪ today is my day... ♪

Yes. You are having
trouble not talking about it.

But you must be quiet,
and listen to what I say

if you are to be
royal mjuzi someday.

Remember, the
hardest part of listening

is finding the quiet to hear.

Sorry, Rafiki. I'm
just really excited.

That is understandable.

But to hear the
lions of the past,

you must be calm and quiet.

Shwari, makini, shwari.

Observe.

Okay.

Rafiki?

Yes?

I'm still not hearing anything.

You must be calm and quiet.

But I was being calm and quiet!

Makini, makini.

It seems you must
also learn Patience.

Oh, yes! I can't wait
to learn to be patient!

Let's do it right now!

Hmm.

Perhaps you need
something to ground you.

Yes!

You need your bakora staff!

Just like the antenna helps an
insect sense its surroundings,

the bakora staff
helps the royal mjuzi

sense the lions of the past.

Whoa.

Of course, it is up to you
to find your bakora staff.

On your own.

Really?

Yes.

Now look among the fallen
branches for your bakora staff.

You will need it for
your official introduction

to the royal family.

My official introduction?

As soon as you find your staff.

But how will I know
which one to choose?

Shwari, makini.

You will know when you know.

But it would not
hurt to be quiet,

and let the branch speak to you!

I know it's frustrating, Kion.

But leading the elephants
is ma tembo's responsibility.

There's not a
whole lot we can do.

Elephants are the ones
with the ability to find water.

Not lions.

I know. I just
wish I could help.

I know what it's like to be a new
leader with new responsibilities.

Yes, that's something we
both have in common now.

I guess life is full
of responsibilities,

and we all have our
own to take care of.

Yes. And I'm very proud
of how much you've grown

as the leader of the Lion Guard.

Thanks, dad.

Janja, I'm hungrier than ever!

Yeah. I'd eat just
about anything!

Janja! Janja, look!

Up there!

A snake!

Oooh, oooh! Can we eat it?

Better than nothing, I guess.

Come on, boys!

Now that I know Kion's been
getting advice from Mufasa,

I'll finally have some
leverage with the Lion Guard.

Then everyone in the
pride lands will respect me.

Yes!

I won't be the one who gets
trampled or pounced on anymore!

That's what you think!

Janja? What do you want with me?

We wanna eat you!

But I'm just a snake.

Wouldn't you want
something meatier?

Oh, we would. If
it weren't for Kion.

Forcing us to stay
in the outlands.

Instead of letting us eat whatever
we want in the pride lands.

Well, if Kion's your problem,
I might have a solution.

- What?
- Yes.

The reason Kion is so
successful leading the Lion Guard,

is because he's getting
advice from the greatest lion

to rule the pride lands.

Mufasa!

Mufasa?

I think you've been pounced
on one too many times, snake.

The name's ushari.

And if you want to outsmart
the Lion Guard, Janja,

you need to start
thinking like lions.

Great lions.

In case you hadn't
noticed, ushari,

we're hyenas, not lions.

Yeah, that's right!

We sure ain't!

And there ain't no lion
that's gonna help us hyenas.

Let alone a great one!

But there was one great
lion who helped hyenas.

Oh, you mean scar?

Hate to break it to you, ushari.

But scar d*ed in the fire at
pride rock a long time ago.

Yes.

But if Kion can talk to Mufasa,

there must be a way
for us to speak to scar.

Huh, you think?

I'm certain!

It's just a question of how!

How do we talk to scar?

I need to gather some
more information first.

If you'll let me go.

Yeah, all right.

But we're gonna follow
you the whole time.

In case you're
making all this up.

Fair enough.

I believe I know someone who will
give us all the information we need

without even realizing
she's helping us!

Hello, stick.

Are you my new staff?

Nope.

How about you?
Anything to say to me?

Anything?

Well, if it isn't makini!

Was that a stick?

Oh. You're a snake, not a stick.

True.

But I've heard that you
are Rafiki's new apprentice.

Oh, yes! I've just
started studying with him!

It's so exciting!

I'm sure it is.

And he couldn't have
picked a more worthy mandrill.

Oh, thank you!

Yes, of course.

I suppose this means you can
speak to the lions of the past?

- Like how Kion speaks to Mufasa?
- What?

How does a snake
like you know that?

Oh. Uh, well...

I'm friends with Kion
and the Lion Guard.

We go way back.

Oh. Then you know only
the lions in Simba's pride

and the royal mjuzi can
hear the lions of the past.

Yes, yes.

But does that
include the evil lions?

Like scar?

Can you speak to him as well?

Oh! What a frightening thought.

I never even thought about that!

I'd have to ask Rafiki if
there's a way to hear them.

The hardest part of listening
is finding the quiet to hear.

Shwari.

Yes. I'd be so interested to...

Shh! Quiet!

This is it! This is the one!

The one, what?

I've found my staff!
I gotta tell Rafiki!

Rafiki? Hmm.

Oh! Sorry there, snake.
What were you saying?

Huh.

Oh, well.

Hey, Rafiki!

Rafiki! Rafiki, you
won't believe it!

Or maybe you will.

I think I heard the lions of the
past when I touched this stick!

Yes!

You have found
your bakora staff!

Now these gourds will be an
important part of your new staff.

One for the future,

and one for the past.

Yes. Now we must go to the
lair and try out your new staff.

Then we can introduce
you to the royal family!

Ooh, Rafiki? I have
another question.

Uh, about the lions of the past.

Yes. I know. You
have many questions.

And we will talk about
it once we are in the lair!

It's real.

They are able to hear
the lions of the past!

Yeah, yeah.

And it sounds like makini's going
to ask Rafiki how to talk to scar.

Now go follow them. They're
going to somebody's lair!

Follow them? Into a lair?

We can't be seen romping
around the pride lands,

so it's gotta be you.

You got a problem with that?

Listen, Janja.

Talking to makini is one thing.

But I can't slither fast enough
to keep up with her and Rafiki!

Sure, sure. I understand.

After all, if you'd
rather be our dinner...

Dinner time!

Yummy yum, yum!

No, no. Of course not!

It's just that I have some friends
who move much faster than me.

And they're excellent spies.

Friends?

Yes.

Skinks, come out!

I know you're there!

Ooh, what are they?

I don't know, but
they're spooky!

Hello, ushari. You called?

I did.

Can one of your skinks
follow Rafiki and makini for us?

Of course.

But there better be
something in it for us.

If all goes well,

it could tip the balance of
the pride lands in our favor.

Hmm. Sounds interesting.

Nyeusi, hurry!

Follow Rafiki and makini.
Tell us where they go.

Nyeusi is the stealthiest skink.

Rafiki will never see him.

He's lucky. These
skinks give me the creeps!

Me too!
