[theme music playing]
[narrator] The Lion Guard.
"Friends to the End."
Come on, everybody, keep going.
[sighs] Kion sure is in a hurry this morning.
Well, we are getting pretty close to the Tree of Life.
Yep, and I don't mind moving fast for a change.
You said it, Fuli. Zuka Zama!
[panting]
Are we gonna run the whole way?
Yeah. Great idea.
Whoo!
[giggles, exclaims]
Kion, race you to the Tree of Life.
Sure. Just don't get in my way.
Me? [sputters] Never.
[exclaiming]
-[growls] -Oops.
Ah. Bunga.
Oh, this is pretty.
[Beshte] Poa.
Perfect place for a break.
Yep.
Oh, yeah. [laughs]
[Beshte chuckles]
Guys, who said anything about a break?
Kion, they could probably use a rest.
We can rest when we get to the Tree of Life. We're so close now.
[groans] Makini.
Shwari, Kion. How about some Tuliza?
[sighs] Fine.
-[grunts and gulps] -Feel better?
I'm fine. I'll be better when we get to the Tree of Life.
Come on, everybody, let's go.
Oh, looks like the break's over.
Yep, before it even got started.
Huh, the Tuliza didn't do him much good.
I know. It's not working like it used to.
Maybe Kion's right.
Maybe we really do need to get him to the Tree of Life soon.
Yeah, before the venom in his scar totally takes over
and turns him evil, just like Scar.
Oh, Bunga, don't even think that!
You said it, Makini.
Rafiki said Kion could change.
Stop knowing right from wrong.
Maybe it started.
Bunga, Kion's not gonna turn evil.
Now, come on.
I hope you're right!
So, Makini, are there friendly animals at the Tree of Life?
Oh, yes. All the animals I remember were super friendly.
Oh, I can't wait to meet them.
Nothing I like more than making new friends.
[Anga] Everyone, look.
On the cliff, baby goose.
[baby goose chirps]
Oh, no, it... It fell from its nest.
[chirps]
-We gotta save it. -Beshte.
Right. Zuka Zama!
Guys? Hey.
I got you. I got you.
Got you.
Nice catch, Beshte.
[chirps]
Oh, it's so cute!
-[yelps] -You okay, little guy?
Okay, he's safe now. So, let's...
Shouldn't we put him back in his nest?
His mom might be worried.
[sighs] Fine.
-Anga. -Yep.
[Anga] Come on, little guy.
We've really got to get...
Heads up. We got another one.
[baby goose chirps]
[gasps] Oh, no!
I got you.
[gasps] I missed. Beshte.
I got her. I got her.
[chirps] Oh.
Zuka Zama!
Ta-da.
[Mother Goose cackles]
[Mother Goose] What are you doing?
Unhand my child.
[cackles] Okay, okay.
Here, she's fine.
Mama, I did it.
Good job, sweetheart. I knew you could.
Where's your brother?
We put him back up in your nest. Glad we could help.
Help?
[cackling]
Are we missing something here?
Maybe that's how a goose says thank you.
I don't think so.
Oh, no.
Your babies weren't falling, were they?
They were just leaving the nest for the first time.
How else are they gonna get to the water?
I finally got him to jump and now he's got to do it all over again.
Oh, I'm really sorry. We were just trying to help.
Help? Help.
False alarm, I guess.
No kidding. From now on, let's not waste our time
helping animals who don't need help.
It's okay, Beshte.
I know you were trying to do the right thing.
Since when does Kion call helping someone a waste of time?
That was weird,
but he's not himself today.
Or maybe he's not his old self.
What do you mean, Little B?
His scar. Remember what Rafiki said,
about how Kion could change?
I think Kion just wants to get to the Tree of Life.
We better make it there in time!
[cawing sounds in distance]
What is that?
Peacocks.
[all cawing]
[all] Huh?
Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight.
[all cawing]
Never seen anything like this.
Sounds like the peacocks are doing their traditional display dance.
What are they displaying?
ADOS.
Hey, watch it.
Ah, I see now.
Peacocks, we're trying to get through here.
Sorry, can't stop now. All part of the tradition.
[sneezes]
Poa.
[grunts] We don't have time for this.
Coming through. Lion Guard, follow me.
Seriously?
Excuse me.
[Makini] Sorry.
[exclaims] Hey.
Watch where you're going.
[caws]
You watch where you're going!
[roars]
What? He didn't watch where he was going?
Peacocks think they own the place.
Hey, you guys.
You think Kion pushed that peacock on purpose?
Looked like it.
No, Kion wouldn't do that.
The old Kion wouldn't, but the new Kion might.
The new Kion? What do you mean?
His scar.
-It's turning him evil. -Evil?
Kion is not turning evil. Now, come on.
I'm telling you.
Five, six, seven, eight.
[all cawing]
Kion.
If we keep getting slowed down, we're never gonna get to the Tree of Life.
-Poa. -What? What's poa?
That guy. Look up.
Hey there. I'm Beshte. Who are you?
My name is Yun Mibu.
Where did you learn to hang like that?
[chuckles] Like this?
This is nothing.
Wow!
Oh, now I see you.
You must be a clouded leopard.
That's right. I am.
Big deal. I can hang from my hind feet, too.
Check this out.
Yeah. [yelps]
[groans]
Okay, I was wrong.
-[all laugh] -[growls]
Not again.
Hey, Kion, meet our new friend.
Yun Mibu.
We don't have time for new friends.
Um, they were just saying hello.
I wasn't taking to you.
[growls]
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Kion, why did you scare him like that?
Beshte, we can't stop every time you see a new animal.
I was just being nice.
That's the problem. You're slowing us down.
Stop being nice.
"Stop being nice"? I...
I don't know how to do that?
Kion, have some Tuliza.
It'll help you feel better.
-Forget it, Makini. -[gasps]
The Tuliza's not working anymore.
Evil!
Kion, you're out of control.
Am I? All I want to do is get to the Tree of Life
so I can get better,
but everyone keeps slowing me down.
We're not trying to slow you down.
We're trying to help you get there.
[sighs] Feels like I'm dragging you along.
Kion, your scar hurts, so you're not thinking straight.
That's why you were mean to Beshte.
I'm not being mean.
You kinda are.
[growls] Kion.
Maybe this is one of those times when I should take over.
-Take over? -Until you feel better.
I'm the leader of the Guard, Fuli,
and I don't think so.
[growls] Don't do this, Kion.
Are... [gasps]
Are they going to fight?
Looks like it.
I'm glad I can't watch.
But Kion wouldn't fight Fuli. Would he?
Of course, he would.
This is what I've been talking about.
It's all happening right now just like Rafiki said.
What's "Just like Rafiki said"?
He said if the venom stays inside you too long,
you won't know the difference between right and wrong.
-Yeah, but... -And it's happened.
You've been acting mean all day.
I... I have?
You did tell us not to stop and help.
You knocked over that peacock.
And scared that clouded leopard.
And worst of all, you yelled at Beshte.
Sorry, buddy, you're turning evil.
You really think I'm evil?
Totally! But don't feel bad.
You can't help it. It's your scar.
Guys, you all think I'm turning evil?
Well...
I... I don't know if I'd say evil...
No.
Uh, yeah.
Don't listen to Bunga. Nobody thinks you're evil.
And once we get to the Tree of Life...
Unless it's too late.
Good Kion might be gone forever.
I'm not evil!
[growls]
Or... maybe I am.
[grumbles]
Kion, come back.
Don't worry, Beshte, he'll be back.
He just needs time to himself.
But which Kion will he be when he comes back?
Good Kion?
Or evil Kion?
-Bunga. -What? We all saw it happening.
Somebody had to say it.
No. Nobody had to say it.
Kion's not evil.
You sure?
I am. Kion will never turn evil.
Beshte's right.

Oh, come on, Little B.
You know in your heart that Kion will never turn evil.
I hope you're right.
Uh, Fuli, we are still going to the Tree of Life, right?
Not to make this about me, but what about me?
Of course, we're still going, Ono.
As soon as Kion comes back.
What if I really am turning evil?
Just like Scar did.
I should talk to Grandfather Mufasa.
Oh, my scar.
I can't let Grandfather see me like this.
I look just like Scar.
[gasps]
You have the mark of evil just like me, Kion.
Accept your destiny.
There is no other choice.
No, you're wrong, Scar.
Sisi ni sawa, Kion.
[evil laughter]
We're not the same.
I may look like you, but I'll never act like you.
Except, I guess, I kinda have been acting mean today.
[sighs] I gotta go apologize.
Whoa!
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Great.
I'm getting worried about Kion.
Me, too. I hope he didn't get lost or hurt.
Maybe we should look for him.
Not that I would be much help.
He has been gone for a while.
Anga, see if you can spot him.
Yep. Anga Lin...
Hey, hey, hey, look for signs of evil roars.
Trees knocked down, terrified animals,
exploding volcanoes, that kind of thing.
Bunga, if Kion roared, I think we would have heard it.
-Good point. -Yep.
Anga linga. [exclaims]
[Anga] Nothing. Nothing.
What?
[gasps] Kion.
Kion.
Anga. [exclaims]
Am I glad to see you.
-Like some help? -Yeah, that'd be great.
Okay. [grunts]
Can't get close enough.
Maybe I can reach you.
[both grunt]
[exclaims]
No use. Hang on. I'll be back.
Thanks, Anga.
Just, uh, don't be too long.
-[Anga] Found him. -Great.
Not really. Come on.
Let's go.
Kion's down there, hanging from a branch.
Anga, is that you? Yep.
We're all here. Hi, Kion.
Don't worry. We'll help you.
Just hang in there.
But, Fuli, what if this is an evil trap?
Ah, Bunga.
-Just sayin'. -[Kion] Thanks, guys.
Listen, about what happened back there, I really didn't mean to...
Kion, don't think about that now.
Let's just get you off that branch.
Sounds good. Thanks.
He's too close to the overhang. I can't reach him.
I could get close enough, but I couldn't carry him.
Ooh, maybe I can reach him.
Just out of reach. [grunts]
Sorry, Kion.
Hey, Bunga, it's okay.
And you know what I said before about you turning evil and stuff?
Yeah.
Are you?
I don't think so.
Even if I was kinda acting like it.
Just checking.
And just so you know, even if you do turn evil,
I'll still be your best friend.
[grunts] Thanks, Bunga.
Okay, Fuli, what's the plan?
Someone's gotta climb down and help pull him back up.
Oh, maybe I can.
You're definitely strong enough, Beshte, but you're not much of a climber.
I wasn't thinking me, Fuli. I had someone else in mind.
[Yun Mibu] Uh, I can climb down there.
[groans] But you didn't tell me it was the scary guy
who needed to be rescued.
Don't worry, Yun Mibu, Kion's really a nice guy.
He was just feeling kinda evil today,
but he's over that now.
Please help him. Please.
Mmm, Kion, is it?
Yeah, that's me,
and I think I owe you an apology.
Uh, how about a promise, instead?
A promise? Yes.
No more growling.
No more growling. I promise.
Then let's get you up from there.
-Are you sure you can do this? -Oh, yeah.
Clouded leopards are about the best climbers there are, Kion.
Common knowledge, really.
Wow, I see what you mean, Ono.
[grunts] Reach out. I've got you.
Okay. Here goes.
Heyvi kabisa.
-Uh-oh. -"Uh-oh" what? "Uh-oh" what?
-[both] Jump! -[grunts]
Got you.
[exclaims] I think...
Anga linga!
[pants]
Phew. Thank you.
Nice save, Anga.
Way to go, Yun Mibu. I knew you could do it.
You gotta teach me how to use my tail like that.
Ah, you're gonna need a bigger tail.
Thanks again.
Is there anything I can do for you in return?
Just remember to never growl at a clouded leopard.
We don't like it.
I'll remember.
Bye, everybody. See you, Beshte.
[Beshte] Bye, Yun Mibu.
Everyone, I don't know what to say
other than I'm really sorry about the way I was acting.
Especially you, Beshte.
I was really mean to you.
It's all right, Kion.
It wasn't you talking. It was your scar.
Which reminds me...
Maybe the Tuliza's not working like it used to,
but it can't hurt.
You're right. [grunting]
[gulps] Thanks, Makini.
I know we lost a lot of time today
and it was totally my fault,
but if we leave now, we can make up for...
Hold it, Kion. I'm still in charge, remember?
And you need to rest.
You've been through a lot today.
Better listen to the cheetah in charge.
Tree of Life's not going anywhere, Kion.
Soon, Kion. We'll move on soon.
But we're so close.
Shwari, Kion.
With a little rest, you'll feel like yourself again.
Shwari.
