03x13 - Little Old Ginterbong

[bunniefuu]

"The river of Patience."

Poa.

The tree of life is huge!

Yes, it is. Now, follow me.

Heyvi kabisa.

Grandmother. As requested, I have
brought Kion and the Lion Guard.

Lion Guard? This is queen
janna, guardian of the tree of life.

Be welcome here.

Thank you, your majesty.

My friend Ono and I
have come to be healed.

Step closer, Kion and Ono.

You have the Mark of the guard.

You are from the
pride lands then?

Uh, yeah. Indeed.

And so, the roar has returned.

You know about the roar?

Of course, Kion.

I take it that Rafiki
sent you here?

Yes. Ono's eyes are hurt.

And my scar...

I can't control the roar.

So I have heard. Nirmala?

Nirmala is a fierce warrior.

But she is also a gentle healer.

Ono, healing your
sight will be simple.

But the remedy will take
a few days to prepare.

Thank you, your majesty.

Kion? Your ailments
are more complicated.

It is more than just a scar.

Your healing will take time.

And Patience.

Then I'd like to
start right away.

I'm sure you would. Nirmala?

We'll begin today.

Thank you, your majesty.

This way, Kion.

Rani? Please show
our other guests around.

Show them around? But I...

Baliyo and surak can handle
the night pride's duties for now.

You must continue
to take on the duties

that I cannot perform.

Yes. Of course.

Follow me.

Little makini. Please stay.

You remember me?

Of course.

Though you were much smaller

when you and your parents
came here to meet Rafiki.

Yes!

This is where Rafiki said
I'd be a royal mjuzi someday!

He started my training!

And we will continue your
training here, if you'd like.

I'd be hOnored!

This is dirisha.

The river of Patience.

And this is where
you'll heal my scar?

So I can control the roar?

This is the first of many steps
on your journey to healing.

How long's it gonna take?

That depends on you.

As queen janna said,
you must have Patience.

Look at the top of that Ridge.

Do you see the
bright orange flower?

Yeah?

I need you to bring it to me.

I'll be right back.

Easy, Kion. Arama karo.

You need to follow
my instructions.

First, you'll need to
wait for a log to float past.

Hop onto the log, and
ride it down the river.

Once you reach that
Sandy bank, jump off.

Then take the winding path
up to the top of the Ridge.

Wouldn't it be faster just
to swim across the river?

Then climb the Ridge
to get to the flower?

Possibly. But the fast way
isn't always the best way.

Where have I heard that before?

Okay.

I'll try it your way.

So where are the logs?

One will come.

Yeah, but how long
is that gonna take?

It could be days!

Then we wait for days.

Fine.

You might wonder

what makes the tree of
life such a special place.

Wow. Poa.

As you can see, the tree of life
is home to every kind of habitat.

Almost there.

Soon all those rare,
delicious animals will be ours!

You sure, makucha?

I cannot see the
tree of life anywhere.

Ora, I'm following their scent.

Yes. The honey badger's
stink is unforgettable.

Chuluun. Ora. Listen up.

This is what we're gonna do.

I don't take orders from anyone.

Nor do I!

My venom can knock
you both down for a week.

Hoo?

Then all those rare
animals will be mine.

Hold up, everyone.

Tour's over. Gotta go.

What was that?

I don't know. But
something's up.

I could have waited for
logs back in the pride lands.

But Rafiki sent you
here to be healed.

Doubtless because
askari first discovered

the roar at cikha
escarpment, not far from here.

What? He did?

Finally!

Whoa!

Try again.

And we're waiting. Again.

Nirmala!

Come quickly. We need you!

Do you need me too?

Yes. We need you to stay
here and focus on your task.

This is it!

The scent's getting stronger.

Just follow me!

If you want us to follow,
stop talking and start leading!

Fine.

Come on!

Those rare animals will
never know we're coming!

Maybe not...

But we know.

Who are you?

We are the night pride.

And you have one chance to turn
around and go back where you came from.

You should probably
take her offer.

Thanks, but no thanks!

With strength and respect...

Night pride protect!

- Kion!
- I'm awake.

Why are you just sitting here?

I'm waiting for a log.

Sounds fun.

Ooh, yeah! It does!

It's really not.

Something's going on.

That owl came to get
rani, and she just ran off.

Think they could use some help?

They might. Come on!

Wait! I didn't get to see a log!

Take your best sh*t!

Not bad.

Whose side are you on?

My side, makucha! Always!

Get out!

No!

Now leave! And never come back!

Well done, night pride.

Heyvi kabisa!

Kion? Lion Guard?
What are you doing here?

We came to help?

That's right!

Where are the bad
guys? Let me at 'em!

They're gone.

Defending the
tree of life is our job.

And we're good at it.

But... we don't need your help.

You came for healing.
So stay out of our way,

get healed, and go home.

Besides, it was
just two leopards

and a komodo
dragon. No big deal.

Two leopards? And
a komodo dragon?

They didn't even seem to
like each other very much.

True. Perhaps that is why
they didn't fight well together.

I don't know. That big leopard,
makucha? He fought pretty good.

- Makucha?
- What?

We know makucha.

And probably the other two.

They must have followed us here.

They followed you?

I'm really sorry.
This is all our fault.

And that is askari,

when he first discovered
the roar of the elders.

I'm glad you are here, makini.

It's been some time since
we've had a royal mjuzi.

That bakora staff was hers.

Before she completed her
journey on the circle of life.

Oh! It's beautiful.

If you like it, it's yours now.

- Really?
- Grandmother!

Rani? Is something wrong?

You could say that.

Kion led an army
of predators here!

An army of predators?

I wouldn't call three an army.

We never should have let him in.

I am sorry, your majesty.

I had no idea they
were following us.

I doubt they will leave now that
they have found the tree of life.

At least let me and
the Lion Guard help

- with makucha and...
- No!

I told you! We can handle it!

Rani? Sorry, grandmother.

Thank you for your offer, Kion.

But rani is correct.

It is the night pride's duty
to protect the tree of life.

Yeah, but it's my fault that...

Kion. You must help yourself
before you can help others.

Now go. And let
nirmala guide you.

After all, that is why you
have come to the tree of life.

Yes, your majesty.

Still no log.

Nirmala, if you'd let me do it my way,
I'd have that flower and be back by now!

Let me guide you, Kion.

Like queen janna said.

Argh...

- Yes!
- Patience, Kion.

Forget it! This time
I'm doing it my way!

If you must.

Whoa. This current is
stronger than it looked.

This way, Kion!

Follow me!

Straight up the slope
looks faster to me.

Whoa.

Almost there...

How's that going for you?

It's going just...

Fine!

Where's the flower?

Why didn't you get it
while you were up there?

That is your task, Kion.

It's almost night.

You should get some
sleep while I go on patrol.

Tomorrow is a
very important day.

Yeah? What's gonna
happen tomorrow?

Tomorrow you're
going to try again.

"Try again. Try again."

That's all nirmala ever says!

Ugh!

But how is falling into a
river supposed to heal me?

Sounds like fun to me!

I'm sure tomorrow
will be better.

Kion, you can do anything
you put your mind to.

Yeah! You're Kion!

Leader of the Lion Guard!

You never give up.

Bunga's right. Yep.

Indeed.

Okay. I'll try again tomorrow.

Is Kion healed yet?

Rani. You sound just like him.

It's going to take time.

I hope it doesn't take too long.

Kion and the Lion Guard
are nothing but trouble.

Speaking of trouble,
look who's back.

They're trying to
sneak up in the dark?

What part of night pride
didn't they understand?

Ora! Pick your tail up!

My plan is to sneak in
under cover of darkness.

They won't see us.
But they might hear us!

Nah! We saw you too. What?

We're the night pride. Remember?

Lada'i!

And this time, stay out!

Great plan, Chuluun.

Let's att*ck the
night pride at night.

Yes! Enough sneaking around!

Next time we will
do it the dragon way!

Go in fast, go in mean,
and bite everything we see!

Kion?

I'm ready to try again.

Excellent.

And it looks like I
got here just in time.

Patience.

Patience.

Well done!

Try again.

Good job, Kion!
Now you're getting it!

Nirmala! Rani needs you!

The predators are
attacking again!

I'll come with you.

They followed me here.
Let me help kick them out!

You're the one in need
of help, Kion. Remember?

Stay focused and
finish your task.

No matter what!

Stay focused.

Finish the task.

With strength and respect...

Night pride protect!

Now! Hit them hard,
and hit them fast!

I got a better idea.

Let's find another way in!

What? No! I am in charge!

Remember?

They're trying to go around us!

Come on.

Dead end.

Now we do it my way.

We stand and fight!

You do it your way.

I'll do it mine!

Surak! Look out!

Nice move.

Guys, I'm down.

Hey. That's my
little brother you bit!

Nice work, or a.

Now it's three against three.

Made it. Now
where's that flower?

Heyvi kabisa!

The night pride.

And Baliyo's down.

Nirmala said to finish the task.

No matter what.

But now I can help!

Baliyo.

Kion!

Kion? Kion?

Use your roar thingy!

Send those guys flying!

The roar? Forget it!

I do not want to get
hit with that roar again!

Some leader he turned out to be.

Forget him. Forget attacking.

Kion came down that hill.

So the tree of life must
be on the other side.

Surak. Follow or a.

Make sure he
doesn't double back.

Understood.

Nirmala, get Baliyo
somewhere safe.

Kion, you're with me.

We have to stop them
from getting over that Ridge!

Okay.

Kion! The path!

Let nirmala guide me...

I hope I get there in time...

What? Kion!

Surprise, makucha!

Watch it!

You missed!

I won't!

Whoa!

Nice. You too.

Now let's make
sure they keep going.

This way!

Don't tell me we
missed the battle again!

Nope. Look.

Ugh! The Lion Guard?

Hey, makucha,
Chuluun. Remember me?

And my stink?

Oh, no!

And don't come back.

I guess we make a
pretty good team after all.

How's Baliyo?

The venom will
wear off eventually.

He will be fine.

You should be more
careful, little brother.

Not my style.

Nirmala? I did get the flower.

But it got trampled
in the battle.

You finished the task.

Giving me the flower
wasn't really the point.

Though I would have liked to have
a new flower to put behind my ear.

Does this mean
Kion's all better?

Does it? I don't think so.

There's more I have
to do, isn't there?

Yes. You've
taken the first step.

But there's still
a long way to go.

Guess I just need Patience.

We would have made it
if Kion had not shown up.

He is trouble.

The whole Lion Guard is trouble.

We need to get rid of 'em.

Yeah. Especially that Bunga.

Oh, yes.

Especially that Bunga.

No one wants to get
rid of him more than me.

And who are you?

I'm mama binturong.

And I'm your new leader.
