02x19 - The Kilio Valley Fire

[bunniefuu]

the Lion Guard.

The wisdom of kongwe.

So, scar has returned.

I'm afraid so, father.

It's my fault, grandfather
Mufasa. The roar...

The roar has the ability
to do both good and evil.

- I know.
- But now that scar is back,

how do we defeat him?

The appearance of an
evil lion from the past

is beyond my experience, my son.

But you have saved the
pride lands from scar before.

Trust that the
wisdom to defeat scar

lies within the pride lands,

and within the two of you.

"The wisdom is
within the pride lands."

Dad, do you think grandfather
means a wise animal?

Perhaps, and if he did, I know
exactly who we should talk to.

Me? You want me to escort

the wisest animal in the pride
lands to meet with the king?

Yes, yes! It is one of the
duties of the royal mjuzi.

You don't need to
send makini, Simba.

I can talk to you right now.

I don't think he's looking
for advice from you, Bunga.

Most definitely not.

Okay, your loss.

Simba seeks counsel from
kongwe, the wisest of the wise.

Oh, yeah! Kongwe's the
oldest animal in the pride lands.

Ooh! Do you know where she is?

Last I heard, she was living along
the rocky bank of urembo river,

about a half-a-day's
walk from here.

Half a day? I'd like to speak
to her as soon as possible.

Maybe a half-day for
them, but I can do it faster.

Excellent. Thank you, Fuli.

Yes! You shall
escort the escort.

I can't wait! Let's go, Fuli!

I'm so excited to
spend time with you.

I'll learn all about you and
you'll learn all about me.

It's gonna be so great!
Don't you think so, Fuli?

- Fuli?
- You coming, makini?

Ooh, yeah! Wait for me.

Okay, the rest of
us are on patrol.

Whatever scar has planned for
the pride lands, we need to be ready.

- You got it, Kion!
- Affirmative.

My favorite is definitely
bright pink flamingos.

Oh, but orange and brown
giraffes are pretty, too.

What animal do you
think's the prettiest, Fuli?

I never really thought about it.

Oh, blue turacos! I
forgot about them.

I love blue!

Okay, here we are.

- Urembo river.
- Really? We got here fast.

Fast is what I do.

So let's find kongwe and
get her back to the king, quick.

What does she look like?

Ooh, I don't know.

Okay, what kind
of animal is she?

Don't know that either.

Don't you think that's something we
might have asked Rafiki before we left?

Yes, you are so right, Fuli!

That's definitely something we
should have asked Rafiki before we left.

But at least we know where to
find her. She should be right here.

Huh, finding her would go a lot
faster if we knew what she looked like.

Whoa!

Faster is not always better.

Oh, are you kongwe?

Yes.

Of course, you are. What you
just said sounded really wise.

But you already know
that, being so wise and all.

And that's why the
king needs to see you.

The king?

Yes, he wants to
see you right away.

I see.

But, of course,
you're a tortoise.

Indeed, for my
mother was a tortoise.

A child of a tortoise
is also a tortoise.

Oh, you are wise.
Isn't she wise, Fuli?

Uh, I guess?

Now, let's go. We don't
want to keep the king waiting.

Oh, Fuli's right.
We should hurry.

To run is not
necessarily to arrive.

That sounds super-wise!

What exactly does it mean?

It means this is
gonna be a long trip.

So, Kion, does king Simba
have a plan to defeat scar?

Not yet.

Hopefully, this kongwe
will have some good ideas.

Seeing anything
interesting, Ono?

Not really.

Unless you count
hyraxes crossing the bridge

to the watering
hole as interesting.

Wait a tick.

There's a rock on the
end that looks a little loose.

"A little loose"?

Hevi kabisa. The
bridge is unstable!

Ono, get the
hyraxes off the bridge!

On it!

Hyraxes! Back, back!

Off the bridge! Hurry!

Ah, I think it's done.

Hapana! Bunga, look out!

Guys? Guys?

We're good.

Oh!

Everyone up there okay, Ono?

Affirmative.

Though we now have a
bunch of thirsty hyraxes

that can't get to
the watering hole.

Sorry, little guys.

Aw, they look so thirsty.

Hey! I can go up there and
throw them across the ravine.

I'm not so sure that's
a good idea, Bunga.

Hmm.

What you thinking, Beshte?

Well, if we could move
one of those big rocks...

It could make another bridge.

But how would we hold it up?

Don't worry, Kion. I got this.

Twende kiboko!

Wow! Nice one, Beshte!

Ono, little help?

Affirmative.

Back it up a little
more, Beshte.

All set.

Go ahead, little guys.

Careful, everybody.

Aw, any time.

- Good thinking, Beshte!
- Sure was!

You make an
un-Bunga-lievable bridge, Beshte.

Thanks, little b.

Yeah! The big b bridge.

"The big b bridge"?

I like it.

But I always like helping
the animals of the pride lands.

Okay, if we keep up this pace,

I think we can be back at
pride rock just after sundown.

Or not.

- Fuli, come quick!
- Makini?

Kongwe? You okay?

Kongwe found an
amazing flower. Look.

- Another flower?
- Yeah!

It's totally different
from the last one.

It's a flower.

Each bloom is unique, Fuli.

You'd see that if you
just stop and observe.

That is so true, kongwe!

And so wisdom-y!

Okay, but right now
we have slightly more

important things
to see than flowers,

like the king!

Oh, that's so true, too, Fuli.

Aren't you excited to
see the king, kongwe?

I have seen many
things, young mjuzi,

because I stop and observe.

That's probably the best
way to see a lot of things.

I see a lot more
when I'm going fast.

Oh, that must be a good
way to see things, too.

Oh, it is!

Trust me.

You have an interesting
philosophy, young cheetah.

I thank you for
sharing it with me.

See? So why don't
we get moving again?

Yes, soon.

You've given me so
much to ponder now.

Seriously?

Any sign of Fuli
and kongwe, Ono?

No sign of them.

Hapana! A wildfire!

Over at the poromoko crevasse!

And it looks like the
eland are trapped!

Till the pride lands end...

Lion guard defend!

Hello? Hello? Kongwe?

Maybe she's not home.

Kongwe?

I'm thinking.

Can't you think and walk?

He who chases two
hares will catch neither.

Fine, stay in your shell. We
still have to get you to the king.

A little help?

Oh, of course!

Ooh, shwari.

Almost!

Argh!

Again? Oh...

Uh-oh.

Uh, kongwe, you okay?

Kongwe?

Have you ever noticed clouds?

And the way they
follow the wind?

Even upside-down, you're wise.

She certainly sounds okay.

Now we just gotta figure
out a way to flip her back over.

Oh.

What are you waiting for?
We need to see the king.

At least we're going
faster now, right, Fuli?

I think it was faster when
we were pushing her.

Hmm.

Would you look at this?

Do we have to?

One doesn't usually see
roots like this close-up.

I sure haven't.

I wonder why these
roots aren't in the ground.

And I wonder why they're moving.

Because that
tree's about to fall!

Move!

That was some fast save, Fuli.

Hey, maybe fast is best.

That's what I keep saying.

Perhaps.

Kongwe?

But sometimes, standing still
is the fastest route to safety.

You got lucky.

Not luck, observation.

But also, I did get lucky.

When a big tree falls,
many eat its leaves.

Or many get crushed.

If I hadn't gotten you to
stop and look at the tree,

perhaps we all would
have been crushed.

Maybe.

This tree is not going anywhere,

and neither are we, at
least not on this path.

We could go over!

Oh, but kongwe can't.

So here's what we're gonna do.

There's a path back there
that cuts through the backlands.

That's the fastest way to
get to pride rock from here.

Come on.

The backlands are leopard
territory, so stay close to me.

Unless one is a bird,

one rarely gets to see
the top of a tree this close.

Seriously?

We're going the right
way, but keep an eye out.

I always keep an eye out.

Well, there is a lot to
see here in the backlands.

I should come here more often.

You're always welcome.

Especially you, tortoise.

That's very
friendly of you! I'm...

You're a real delicacy
around here, tortoise.

Back off, makucha.
They're with me.

Oh. Didn't see
you there, cheetah.

Well, now you have.

And now I wanna
see you walking away.

So where are your
lion guard pals?

Don't you worry about
them. You deal with me.

Okay, cheetah,
I'll be on my way...

For now.

But remember,
you're in my territory.

Not for long. Let's keep moving.

Wow, Fuli, that was amazing!

You were amazing! I've
never seen anything like that.

Have you ever seen
anything like that, kongwe?

I've seen many things.

He's gone for now,
but I bet he comes back.

So we really need
to pick up the pace.

This way!

- Where are they?
- I don't see them.

They were right here, Kion.

They must be lost in the smoke.

Help! Help!

Beshte, Bunga, you're with me.

Ono, see if you can
guide us from the sky.

Affirmative.

Guys! The fires are limited to
the trees at the top of the canyon!

It's not spreading any further.

Guys? Guys?

This way, elands! This way!

- Thank you, Kion.
- We're not out of the woods yet.

Uh, actually, Kion, we are.

He means the
fire's still a thr*at.

Right. We need to get
everyone into the canyon.

Of course. The canyon's a
natural break against the fire.

Come on, elands.
You can follow me.

Look out!

- Kion!
- We're okay, but we're cut off.

Ono, any other
way down or across?

I don't think so. The
canyon narrows up ahead.

But it's too far for
the elands to jump.

Maybe they can't jump
it, but if we could cross it...

Beshte! We could sure
use a bridge right about now.

Just what I was thinking.
One big b bridge coming up.

Big b bridge! Told
you it'd catch on.

Twende kiboko!

All right, elands.

- Let's go!
- Is it safe?

Um, it's safer than flames.

Good point.

Keep moving.

You doing okay, Beshte?

Of course he's okay. He did it
before with the hyraxes. Right, big b?

Well, a herd of eland is a
little heavier than hyraxes.

But I don't mind.

That's all of them, Kion.

Nice work, Beshte.

Rafiki will be so impressed

if I can remember every super-wise
thing you've ever said, kongwe.

But it's not easy.

"A patient creature
never misses a thing."

I think that's right.

Sure sounds smart,
don't you think, Fuli?

I think so. I've been
patiently waiting.

And now I won't miss my supper.

I thought I told
you to back off.

What can I say?

I just couldn't get the
taste of tortoise off my mind.

Ugh! Come down here
so I can make you leave.

Why don't you come
up here and get me?

Oh, right. Cheetahs
can't climb trees.

Argh!

See you, cheetah.

Oh, no, you don't!

Come on, claws!

You're all mine, tortoise.

I learned this move from Rafiki.

Maybe I should have
learned some other moves.

You're just lucky I never
really liked mandrill.

You don't like me?

Give it up, makucha.
You can't outrun me.

We'll see about that.

You may be fast, cheetah,
but can you do this?

I'll stop you.

Somehow.

You chased him off!

Big deal, he'll be back.

Unless I can figure
out a way to b*at him.

To b*at the leopard, you
must observe the leopard.

I have observed him!

I observe him zigzagging
away from me every time.

I observe him making me
run a lot more than he does.

Cheetah, cheetah,
always running.

You must relax and observe.

Relax?

Of course!

Shwari, Fuli!

Just take a breath
and slow down.

- But...?
- It really works.

Fine.

Now, Fuli, what
have you observed?

He always zigzags, but I can't.

I see. So, he always zigzags.

Yes, he...

Always.

Hmm. Okay, I got this.

Hey, makucha.
Ready for round two?

More like round three or
four. But who's counting?

Catch me if you can.

Hint, you can't.

Observe.

Always.

You...? You caught me?

I'll always catch
you, so back off.

Or next time, I'll do
more than tackle you.

You know what? I've
lost my taste for tortoise.

That's good.

But I haven't lost
my taste for leopard.

You did it!

I guess I did.

All it took was
a little observing.

The cheetah
listened to the tortoise.

Perhaps now, I've
truly seen everything.

It sure is nice to be
back in the pride lands!

Back in the pride lands?

It's a long story.

Well, wait till you hear about
Beshte. He was a bridge!

Hmm. I'd like to have seen that.

You must be kongwe. I'm Kion.

Let's get you to
my dad. Come on.

Hmm. Hurry, hurry
brings no blessings.

I think that means she's
going as fast as she can.

Guess you were surprised
kongwe turned out to be a tortoise.

Fuli?

Have you ever stopped to
notice how the clouds never rush?

They just follow the wind.

Hmm. So scar has returned.

It is indeed a
difficult problem.

Uh, yeah!

Bunga!

So, kongwe, what do we do?

Fortunately, it is the patient
animal who eats the ripe fruit.

- Yes.
- Uh-huh.

Oh!

I think she means we'll
find the solution eventually.

But we need to
take the time to look.

- I see.
- Oh!

Very wise.

Yes, yes, cheetah! I
have seen many things.

And good always
triumphs over evil, in time.
