Lion Guard, let's go!
Thanks, Lion Guard.
Everyone! Everyone!
Ma Tembo and the elephants. They're under attack!
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 attack 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 attacks 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!
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,

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 died 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!
