Janja's New Crew/Transcript

Fade to the Lion Guard walking toward a muddy slope. Wildebeests graze nearby.
Beshte 	Poa! [Beshte stomps through the mud.] Nothing better than the feel of squishy mud under your feet.
 	The camera pans right to show Fuli holding up a muddy paw. She shakes the mud off her legs.
Fuli 	Except maybe the feel of no mud under your feet.
Kion 	After last night's big storm, I'm glad the mud is our only problem.
 	The camera zooms in on some nearby rocks. Janja peeks out at the Lion Guard from between two rocks.
Janja 	That's what he thinks! [Janja ducks offscreen. Cut to Janja facing Cheezi, Chungu, Nne, and Tano.] Everything's going exactly as planned.
Cheezi 	You mean you planned for the Lion Guard to be here?
Janja 	No! I planned to go after those wildebeests. [Janja jerks his head at the wildebeests, who are grazing nearby.] With all this mud, they'll never outrun us.
Chungu 	Wait. You planned on the mud? *gasps* Did you make it rain?
Janja 	No, fur-brain! [Janja peeks out from between the two rocks.] Look. [Cut to the Lion Guard walking away.] We just gotta wait for the Lion Guard to clear out... [Cut to Janja.] And now, it's lunchtime. [Cheezi, Chungu, Nne, and Tano walk out from behind the rocks to join Janja.] C'mon, fellas! *cackles* [Janja walks forward, only to slip on the mud.] Uh-oh. [Janja slides offscreen.] *yelps* [Janja slides down a muddy slope.] *yells* [Janja runs into Beshte's front.] *grunts* [Janja lifts his head.] *groans* Well, [The camera zooms out to show the Lion Guard glaring at Janja.] look who it is. The Lion Guard! What are you guys doin' in the Outlands?
Kion 	Nice try, Janja. We both know this is the Pride Lands. [Janja sits up.] And you don't belong here.
Janja 	Yeah, yeah...
Cheezi 	[from offscreen] *whoops*
 	Cheezi slides down the muddy slope into Janja.
Chungu 	[from offscreen] *laughs* [Chungu slides down the muddy slope into Cheezi. Nne and Tano slide down the muddy slope into Chungu.] That was fun!
Janja 	C'mon, fellas, let's go. [Janja walks away.] It's too muddy around here anyway.
 	Tano follows Janja.
Cheezi 	But, Janja, [stuttering] I thought you liked the mud!
Chungu 	Yeah! 'Cause it slows down the [stuttering] wilde... The wilde...
Ono 	Wildebeests?
Chungu 	Yeah! Them!
Cheezi 	We was gonna have 'em for lunch!
 	Janja pins Cheezi to the ground by his head.
Janja 	*growls* Fur-brains! Shhh!
Kion 	The mud might slow down the wildebeests, [Kion stalks toward the hyenas.] but I don't think it's gonna slow you down. *roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders. Cut to Janja being blown away.
Janja 	*yells* [Janja lands in the Outlands.] *grunts*
 	Cheezi, Chungu, Nne, and Tano are blown after Janja.
Cheezi, Chungu, Nne, and Tano 	*yell*
 	Nne and Tano land next to Janja, while Cheezi and Chungu land on top of him.
Janja 	*grunts* [Janja tosses Cheezi and Chungu away with his head.] Get off of me, fur-brains! Another plan ruined! And do you know why?
 	Cut to Cheezi and Chungu sitting beside each other.
Cheezi 	'Cause you slipped on the mud?
Chungu 	And slided into the Lion Guard?
Janja 	No! It's because of you two!
Cheezi and Chungu 	Us?
 	Cheezi and Chungu exchange glances.
Janja 	That's right! Every time I come up with a brilliant plan, you two mess it up!
Cheezi 	We do?
Chungu 	Uh... I thought we messed it up together.
Cheezi 	*laughs* Yeah! We're great at that!
Janja 	*groans* You know what? I can't take it anymore. You're both fired! [Janja turns and stalks away. The camera zooms out to show Cheezi and Chungu following him. He looks over one shoulder at them.] Weren't you two fur-brains listening? I said you're fired!
Cheezi 	[panicked] We're on fire? *sniffs* [Cheezi begins to run in circles.] *screams*
Chungu 	Hey, [Chungu paws at himself.] I don't even smell smoke!
Janja 	You're not [Janja rolls his eyes.] "on fire." You are fired! It means you're finished. You're done. You're through. [Nne and Tano exchange glances.] I don't need ya!
Cheezi 	*chuckles* Of course you don't need us!
 	Chungu nods.
Chungu 	Yeah! *laughs* So, what's the new plan?
Janja 	[enraged] There ain't no new plan! You're not in the crew anymore! Get out of the Outlands! [to Nne and Tano] You two, I'm giving you a promotion.
 	Nne and Tano exchange glances.
Nne 	Okay.
Tano 	Thanks.
Janja 	And here's your first job... [Janja points at Cheezi and Chungu.] Get rid of those two fur-brains!
Nne 	You got it, boss! [Nne turns on Cheezi and Chungu.] *growls*
Tano 	You heard Janja.
Nne and Tano 	*growl*
 	Cheezi and Chungu exchange glances.
Nne 	Get lost!
Cheezi 	[uncertainly] Uh, sure! *chuckles nervously* No problem!
Chungu 	Yeah. We're lost most of the time already!
 	Cheezi and Chungu run offscreen.
Nne and Tano 	*growl*
 	Janja smiles. Cut to the Lion Guard walking through the mud.
Fuli 	Remind me again, why are we slogging through all this mud?
Kion 	We gotta make sure all the trails in the Pride Lands are safe after the big rainstorm. [A rumbling sound is heard.] Uh-oh. And that includes this one! [Cut to a muddy ridge collapsing.] Mudslide! Everybody! Run!
 	Mud sloshes down the slope. Ono flaps in place above the mudslide.
Ono 	Hapana!
 	Bunga flees the mud. He hops over a log, which blocks the mud from flowing past it.
Bunga 	Hyah!
 	Fuli climbs away from the mud on some nearby rocks and joins Beshte. The mud clears, and the Lion Guard reconvenes.
Fuli 	Okay. So, this trail isn't safe.
Beshte 	But this is the main path from Big Springs to Mekundu Cliffs. Everyone uses it!
Kion 	So, we'll need to clear it and make it safe again. Ono, Bunga, keep everyone off this trail 'till we're done.
Ono 	Affirmative!
 	Ono flies away.
Bunga 	You got it, Kion!
 	Bunga runs after Ono.
Kion 	Fuli, Beshte, you're with me. We have to get all these trees and boulders off this trail.
Beshte 	Sure thing!
Fuli 	Well, if I have to get muddy, might as well do it for a good cause!
 	Fuli hops down into the mud beside Beshte and Kion.
Beshte 	That's the spirit, Fuli!
 	Cut to a wide shot of the Outlands volcano.
Janja 	[from offscreen] All right, you twos, listen up. [Cut to the inner chamber of the volcano, where Janja paces in front of Nne and Tano.] Now that you're my seconds-in-command, you gotta learn the rules. Rule number one, I am the smartest hyena around! Rule number three...
Nne 	What about rule number two?
Janja 	What about it?
Tano 	What is it?
 	Janja stares at Tano in confusion.
Janja 	*mumbles* Forget the rules! The main thing is, I come up with the plans, [Janja gestures at Nne and Tano.] and you guys...
Tano 	Actually, Janja, we already have a plan.
Janja 	What? Didn't I just tell you I'm the one who...?
Nne 	It's an awesome plan!
Janja 	[suspicious but intrigued] How awesome?
Nne 	Okay, [Nne places his paw on a nearby bone.] this is a herd of antelopes.
Janja 	*laughs* No, it's not! It's a bone!
Tano 	Shhh!
Nne 	First, we stampede them in this direction.
 	Nne scoots the bone along the floor.
Tano 	Right. [Tano places his paw on a nearby leaf and hops it over next to the bone.] And then, the Lion Guard comes in and runs off after the antelopes.
Janja 	Oh, I get it! And then, we come home hungry! That sounds like one of my plans!
 	Nne waves a paw dismissively.
Nne 	No, see? After they run off, we find a herd of oryxes.
 	Nne pats a nearby rock.
Janja 	Wait, those are oryxes?
Tano 	And we chase them in a different direction!
Nne 	Then, [Nne scoots the rock with his paw.] we catch the oryxes over here while the Lion Guard's still busy with the antelopes [Nne gestures to the bone and the leaf.] over there!
 	Janja bends his head and looks between the rock and the bone.
Janja 	Uh-huh. [Janja lifts his head.] Uh, well, good plan. Yeah! Finally. Hyenas who got smarts like me. [Janja gestures to himself.] Those other fur-brains never knew what they were doing.
Nne 	Just like some other hyenas we know.
Tano 	Right.
Nne 	*laughs*
 	Janja bends his head and looks at the bone.
Janja 	Still not sure why we're givin' up a nice, juicy bone for a rock.
 	Janja looks at the rock. Cut to Twiga walking through the savanna along a trail.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Excuse me!
 	Ono flies up to Twiga, who halts.
Twiga 	Oh, goodness!
Ono 	Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. You might not want to go this way.
Twiga 	But I have to get to Big Springs.
 	Cut to Bunga walking toward Twiga.
Bunga 	Nope! Gotta go around! [Bunga pauses.] Big mudslide up ahead. [Cut to the muddy, blocked trail.] It's a mess!
 	Cut to Twiga.
Twiga 	Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks for the heads up.
Bunga 	*laughs* "Heads up." Good one. You're a giraffe. Your head couldn't get more up! *laughs*
 	Bunga falls onto his back, holding his stomach. Twiga looks questioningly at Ono.
Twiga 	Um...
Ono 	Don't mind him.
Bunga 	*hoots* [Twiga walks away.] Wait 'till Beshte hears that one. [Hoofbeats are heard. Bunga stands and runs forward.] Whoa, whoa, whoa! [Cut to Thurston running along the trail. Bunga cuts him off.] Slow down there.
 	Ono swoops over to join Bunga.
Thurston 	Hello? I'm trying to get through. Step aside.
Ono 	You don't understand. There's a mudslide up ahead and...
Thurston 	You don't understand. You're in my way!
 	Thurston runs past Bunga and Ono.
Ono 	Well, we tried.
Bunga 	Maybe he'll get through okay.
 	A splash is heard.
Thurston 	[from offscreen] Excuse me!
Ono 	Or maybe not.
 	Cut to Thurston waist-deep in mud.
Thurston 	A little help here?
 	Cut to Cheezi and Chungu running through the savanna.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*pant*
 	Cheezi and Chungu skid to a halt.
Chungu 	Hey, are those two guys still chasing us?
Cheezi 	*pants* [Cheezi shakes his head.] Nuh-uh.
Chungu 	*sighs*
Cheezi 	Hey! I don't think we're in the Outlands anymore.
 	Chungu looks around.
Chungu 	Oh, yeah! Ooh. [Cut to a wide shot of the Pride Lands, with Cheezi and Chungu spectating from a rock.] We're in the Pride Lands! [after a beat] *gasps* [excitedly] That means we did what Janja told us to do! You think we should go back and tell him?
Cheezi 	*laughs* Yeah, yeah! [realizing] *gasps* No, wait. He said we ain't in his crew no more.
Chungu 	But he's still our boss, right?
Cheezi 	Uh, I don't think so.
Chungu 	Oh, who's gonna tell us what to do? [tearfully] Who's gonna call us "fur-brains?"
Cheezi 	Maybe we could do it! [Cheezi stands. He mimics Janja's voice.] I'm hungry, fur-brain!
Chungu 	[mimicking Janja] Uh, yeah. Me too, fur-brain!
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh* [after a beat] *sigh*
Cheezi 	It just ain't the same.
Chungu 	[to the tune of "Kion's Lament"] Why? Why did he tell us to go? The only family we know. [Chungu walks away and passes a river. Cheezi follows.] And why send both of us here? [Cut to Cheezi and Chungu descending a rock pile.] Cheezi, why? [sobbing] Why?! [Cut to Cheezi and Chungu walking through grass.] Now, what? What do we do? And who...? [The camera zooms out to show a herd of gazelles grazing nearby.] Oh, look, antelope!
Cheezi 	*laughs* That's what Janja would have us do. Hunt antelope!
 	Cheezi and Chungu hide behind a small hill and peek out at the gazelles.
Chungu 	*snickers* And you know what he'd say?
Cheezi 	Uh, [mimicking Janja] "Get those antelopes, fur-brain."
 	Cheezi and Chungu duck behind the hill.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
Cheezi 	Okay, I'll go [Cheezi points.] this way.
Chungu 	Yeah, and you'll go [Chungu points in a different direction.] that way.
 	Cheezi and Chungu charge out from behind the hill, only to run into each other.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*grunt*
 	The gazelles notice Cheezi and Chungu, and flee.
Gazelles 	*bleat*
 	Cheezi and Chungu sit up.
Cheezi 	I thought you was goin' [Cheezi points.] that way!
Chungu 	And I thought you was goin' [Chungu points in the same direction.] this way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu look up to see that the gazelles are gone.
Cheezi 	And which way did they go?
 	Cheezi and Chungu stand.
Chungu 	I don't think I like the Pride Lands.
Cheezi 	Me neither. Nothin' stands still and lets you eat it.
Chungu 	[tearfully] It's not fair!
 	Cheezi notices something.
Cheezi 	Well... [The camera zooms out to show an animal carcass nearby.] we could eat leftovers!
Chungu 	Oh, yeah! They don't move.
 	Cheezi and Chungu charge toward the bones and begin eating them.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*munch*
Chungu 	*slurps* You know what? I think I like the Pride Lands after all!
Cheezi 	*laughs* Yeah! Me too!
 	Cheezi and Chungu continue eating.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*munch* [The camera pans up to show a muddy cliff above Cheezi and Chungu. The ground collapses, and mud begins to flow down the cliff toward them. They look up fearfully. Cut to Cheezi and Chungu fleeing the mud.] *scream*
 	The mud sweeps Cheezi and Chungu away. Cut to Beshte pushing a fallen tree.
Beshte 	Twende kiboko! [Beshte tosses the tree aside with his snout, and Fuli and Kion hop over it. Beshte walks toward Fuli and Kion.] Phew! There we go. Last one.
Kion 	Great job, Beshte. Looks like the trail's safe to use again.
Fuli 	At least 'till the next big rain.
 	Cut to Bunga covered in mud. He flicks mud off himself.
Bunga 	Does that mean we can take a break?
Beshte 	Little B? What happened to you?
Bunga 	Would you believe a zebra?
 	Fuli walks along behind Bunga.
Fuli 	I'd believe it.
 	Fuli hops onto a rock and begins grooming herself.
Bunga 	Hey, Big B! Wait 'till you hear what the giraffe said when we told her about the mudslide!
Beshte 	What's that, Little B?
Bunga 	She said, "Thanks for sticking your neck out!" *laughs* [Beshte tilts his head in confusion.] No, wait. That's not right. She said...
Ono 	[from offscreen] Heads up!
 	Ono flies onscreen.
Bunga 	Was that it?
 	Ono flaps in place above the rest of the Lion Guard.
Ono 	No, I mean, heads up! I just spotted something!
Kion 	What'd you see, Ono?
Ono 	Two animals in trouble.
Kion 	Let's go! 'Till the Pride Lands end...
 	The Lion Guard charges off.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Lion Guard defend!
 	Cut to Cheezi and Chungu, who are covered in mud, being swept along by a mudslide. Ono flies over a canyon edge, where the mudslide has formed a waterfall.
Ono 	Hurry! They're headed for the canyon's edge!
 	Cut to the Lion Guard running.
Kion 	Beshte, block their path!
Beshte 	You got it, Kion! Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte jumps into the middle of the mudslide.
Ono 	Hold steady, Beshte! Here they come!
 	Beshte braces himself, and Cheezi and Chungu slide into his side.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*grunt*
 	The force of Cheezi and Chungu's slam causes Beshte to slide along with the mudslide.
Beshte 	*grunts*
 	Beshte catches himself on a rock in the stream and stops his momentum. Bunga, Fuli, and Kion approach the bank.
Kion 	Bunga, you help the smaller one. [Bunga runs offscreen.] Fuli, we'll grab the big one.
 	Fuli and Kion run offscreen. Cut to Beshte standing in the mudslide, which slows and stops. A sloshing sound is heard before Bunga bounds onscreen toward Beshte, Cheezi, and Chungu.
Bunga 	I gotcha. [Bunga pulls Cheezi out of the mud by his tail.] *grunts*
 	Ono lands on Beshte's back. Kion pulls Chungu out of the mud by his tail, while Fuli pushes him from the front.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	Cut to Bunga hauling Cheezi onto the shore.
Bunga 	Whoa! You're pretty heavy for a...whatever you are.
 	Fuli and Kion haul Chungu onto the shore.
Fuli and Kion 	*grunt* *splutter*
Kion 	That was close. Are you two all right? [Cheezi and Chungu shake off the mud, revealing themselves.] What? You two?!
 	Cheezi and Chungu exchange glances.
Cheezi 	Is it?
Chungu 	I... [Chungu looks down at himself.] guess so.
Kion 	If you're here, then Janja's here too. Ono?
 	Ono salutes Kion.
Ono 	On it.
 	Ono flies off.
Cheezi 	[excitedly] Janja's here? *gasps* Do you see him?
Chungu 	Ooh, ooh! Maybe he's come back.
Cheezi 	[nodding, laughing] Yeah! Maybe he's gonna let us back into the Outlands!
Fuli 	Wait, what?
Chungu 	[tearfully] Janja kicked us outta the Outlands.
Cheezi 	We ain't on his crew no more.
Fuli 	You really expect us to believe that?
Chungu 	He said we always messed things up!
Fuli 	Okay, that I believe.
Chungu 	Now, he's got two [resentfully] new guys.
Cheezi 	Yeah. [resentfully] Nne and Tano.
Chungu 	And they're mean...and ugly!
 	Bunga and Kion exchange glances. Ono lands in front of Kion.
Ono 	No sign of Janja.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*groan*
Fuli 	So, what are we gonna do with these two?
Kion 	Well, they can't stay here. You two have to go back to the Outlands.
Cheezi 	But we can't go back!
Chungu 	If we do, Janja's new crew will just kick us out...
 	Cheezi and Chungu sit sulkily.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Again.
Beshte 	You know, Kion. I don't see these two guys causing much trouble.
Fuli 	Yeah. They're not smart enough.
Chungu 	*laughs* Hey, thanks!
Cheezi 	Yeah, you got that right!
Fuli 	See what I mean?
Kion 	But what if they chase after the herds like Janja always does?
Cheezi 	Why would we do that... [Cheezi darts over to an animal carcass.] when there's leftovers lying all over the place?
 	Cheezi begins to munch on the bones. Chungu joins in.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*munch*
 	Cut to the Lion Guard staring in confusion.
Ono 	Maybe we should let them stay. After all, hyenas are scavengers. By cleaning up after everyone, they'd actually be helping the Circle of Life in the Pride Lands.
Kion 	Hmm. Maybe you're right, Ono. And I guess letting them stay would be the nice thing to do.
 	Beshte nods.
Bunga 	Feels weird, though.
Kion 	Okay. [Kion approaches Cheezi and Chungu.] As long as you two don't cause any trouble, you can stay in the Pride Lands.
Chungu 	*laughs* Gee, thanks!
Kion 	Don't make us regret it. Let's get back to our patrol.
 	The Lion Guard runs off. Cheezi and Chungu resume eating.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*munch*
 	Cut to Kion running.
Kion 	Ono, [Cut to Ono flying. The camera zooms out to show the Lion Guard running along below him.] check in on them every once in a while. I still think this might be one of Janja's plans.
Ono 	Affirmative.
 	Cut to Cheezi.
Cheezi 	You hear what they said about us?
Chungu 	*laughs* Yeah. We're helping with the Circle of Life.
Cheezi 	Feels kinda good, don't it? Uh, what's the Circle of Life again?
Chungu 	I do not know. But if it means lots of leftovers, I like it!
 	Cut to the Lion Guard running. Ono notices something.
Ono 	What's that? [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots a herd of sable antelope stampeding.] *gasps* Hapana!
Kion 	Problem, Ono?
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion halt.
Fuli 	Is it those two hyenas?
Ono 	No, a herd of antelope is stampeding in the rocky plains!
Kion 	Lead the way, Ono! [The Lion Guard runs off.] 'Till the Pride Lands end...
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Lion Guard defend!
 	Cut to the sable antelope running.
Sable antelope 	*low*
 	Nne and Tano run onscreen, chasing the antelope, then run offscreen. A moment later, Janja runs onscreen.
Janja 	*cackles* That's it, boys. We almost got 'em. *pants* And I can almost taste them.
Sable antelope 	*low*
 	Nne and Tano slow, letting the sable antelope run on ahead. Janja starts to run past Nne and Tano, then skids to a halt.
Janja 	*grunts* [Janja watches the sable antelope run away.] Hey! You're letting them get away! [Janja stalks toward Nne and Tano.] Don't you remember the plan?
Nne 	We do. Do you?
Janja 	'Course I do! I, uh, think.
Tano 	*sighs* [Tano paces around Janja.] Okay, listen. The plan is to... [Tano notices something.] Uh-oh!
 	Nne and Tano run away.
Janja 	Guys! What are you...? [A paw grabs Janja by the face and yanks him offscreen.] *yelps*
 	Cut to the Lion Guard arriving at the scene.
Kion 	Ono, [The Lion Guard halts.] did you see what made them run?
 	Ono lands.
Ono 	I didn't.
Kion 	*sniffs* Doesn't matter. I think I know. Come on! We gotta catch that herd and calm 'em down!
 	The Lion Guard runs offscreen. Once they have gone, Janja, Nne, and Tano emerge from behind a nearby rock.
Janja 	Oh, great! The Lion Guard spoiled the plan. Again!
Nne 	No. The plan's working perfectly.
Janja 	It is? What kinda plan lets the Lion Guard win?
Tano 	Janja, they're not winning. They're doing exactly what we want them to do.
Nne 	Did you even listen when we explained the plan?
Janja 	Sure I did. It's all about rocks and leaves and...stuff.
Tano 	[patronizingly] We scared off the antelopes so the Lion Guard will chase after them.
Nne 	[patronizingly] While they're busy, we're gonna go after something else.
 	Tano points.
Tano 	[patronizingly] In the opposite direction.
Janja 	So...the antelopes aren't dinner?
 	Tano shakes his head.
Tano 	[patronizingly] No!
Janja 	[pouting] Oh, but I like antelope.
 	Tano points.
Tano 	That's dinner.
 	Cut to a herd of oryxes grazing.
Oryxes 	*grunt*
Janja 	Ooh! Oryxes! They're good too!
 	Nne and Tano walk off.
Nne 	Come on, fur-brain!
Janja 	What'd you call me?
Nne 	Oh, [Nne and Tano pause.] sorry... [Nne rolls his eyes.] Boss.
Janja 	That's better. I...
Nne and Tano 	[from offscreen] *snicker*
 	Cut to Nne and Tano running away.
Janja 	Hey! [Janja runs after Nne and Tano.] Wait for me! I'm your leader, remember?
 	Cut to the sable antelope running, with Ono flying overhead.
Sable antelope 	*low*
Ono 	Slow it down. No need to run. The Lion Guard's here to help.
 	Bunga jumps onto a sable antelope and holds on to it by its horns.
Bunga 	Yeah, [The sable antelope slow, then stop.] but help them with what?
 	Cut to the sable antelope, with Fuli and Kion standing in the midst of the herd. Beshte walks among the sable antelope.
Beshte 	Good question, Little B. I never did see anyone chasing them.
 	Ono lands beside Kion.
Ono 	Me neither.
Fuli 	[to Kion] You said earlier you've got an idea what started the stampede?
Kion 	Yeah. It's all our fault.
Fuli 	What?
Ono 	How could it be our fault?
Beshte 	I'd never start a stampede.
Kion 	We didn't start the stampede. But we let Cheezi and Chungu stay in the Pride Lands.
Fuli 	You think they had something to do with it?
Kion 	Either them or Janja. I caught the scent of hyenas earlier. Ono, find Cheezi and Chungu and lead us to 'em.
 	Ono salutes Kion.
Ono 	On it!
 	Ono flies off. Cut to Cheezi and Chungu lying back to back, fast asleep.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*snore*
 	A rumbling noise is heard. The camera zooms out to show the oryxes running past. Nne and Tano chase after them, and all run offscreen. A moment later, Janja runs onscreen, tripping over Cheezi and Chungu.
Janja 	*yells*
 	Cheezi and Chungu start awake.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*yell*
Janja 	*growls* You two fur-brains!
Cheezi 	Janja! Is it really you?
Chungu 	Did you come looking for us? Do you want us back?
Janja 	You kidding? I got two new hyenas that do everything I say. They really respect me.
Tano 	[from offscreen] Janja! [Cut to Nne and Tano looking over their shoulders at Janja, as the oryxes keep running.] You coming?
Nne 	Just let him stay behind.
 	Nne and Tano resume the chase.
Janja 	*laughs nervously* See what I mean? [Janja runs after Nne and Tano.] Fellas! Wait up!
 	Cheezi and Chungu stare after Janja in confusion.
Cheezi 	Did... Did that really just happen?
Chungu 	Maybe it was just a dream.
Cheezi 	Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna dream about Janja some more.
Chungu 	Me too.
 	Cheezi and Chungu go back to back and fall asleep again. Cut to the oryxes running toward a dead-end canyon.
Oryxes 	*low*
 	Cut to Nne and Tano chasing the oryxes.
Tano 	There's a dead-end canyon up ahead! We can trap them there before the Lion Guard gets back from their wild goose chase.
Janja 	[from offscreen] Wild goose? [The camera pans left to show Janja running behind Nne and Tano.] I thought they were chasing antelopes.
Nne 	I thought we dumped you.
Janja 	You can't dump me. I'm the boss.
Nne 	Oh, yeah?
Tano 	Watch us.
 	Tano slams into Janja.
Janja 	*grunts* [Janja falls off a cliff and begins to roll toward a ledge below.] *grunts* [Janja lands on the mud-covered ledge.] *groans*
Nne 	[from offscreen] So long... [Janja stands. Cut to Nne and Tano looking down on Janja from atop the cliff.] fur-brain!
Nne and Tano 	*laugh*
 	Nne and Tano run off. Janja looks over his ledge in concern. Cut to Cheezi and Chungu sleeping back to back.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*snore*
 	Cut to the Lion Guard gathered around Cheezi and Chungu.
Beshte 	You still think they started the antelope stampede?
Kion 	Let's ask 'em. [yelling] Hey!
 	Cheezi and Chungu start awake.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*gasp*
Kion 	Okay, you two. Why'd you start that stampede?
Cheezi 	Stampede?
Chungu 	[stuttering] It wasn't us! We was busy dreamin' about Janja!
Cheezi 	Yeah, yeah! Maybe it was Dream Janja that did it!
Ono 	"Dream Janja"?
Janja 	[from offscreen] Nne! Tano! Come back here!
Fuli 	That sounds like the real Janja to me.
Kion 	I knew it! [Kion runs off.] Come on!
 	The rest of the Lion Guard follows Kion.
Chungu 	Janja's really here?
Cheezi 	It's a dream come true!
 	Cheezi and Chungu run after the Lion Guard. Cut to Janja. The camera zooms out to show him still trapped on the muddy ledge.
Janja 	Those double-crossing no-goods! [Ono swoops past Janja. Cut to the Lion Guard standing on the cliff above. Ono flies up to join them. The camera zooms out to show Cheezi and Chungu standing next to the Lion Guard, looking down on Janja in delight. Janja rolls his eyes.] Oh, great. [Janja sits.] Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.
Kion 	Why'd you scare off the antelopes, Janja? What's your plan?
Janja 	Bad enough I get pushed off a cliff. I ain't gonna take the blame too. [Janja stands.] It was their idea! The new guys! Something about getting you to chase the antelopes while we chase the oryxes!
Fuli 	Sounds like a pretty good plan.
Kion 	Ono!
 	Ono salutes Kion, then takes to the air. His vision flickers, and he spots Nne and Tano chasing the oryxes.
Ono 	*gasps* Hapana! I see them! They're chasing the oryxes into a dead-end canyon!
 	Ono flies offscreen.
Kion 	Lion Guard! Let's go!
 	Kion runs off, and the rest of the Lion Guard follows him.
Janja 	[from offscreen] Hey, hey, wait, where are you going? [Cut to Janja.] You're just gonna leave me here?
Cheezi 	Don't worry, Janja!
Chungu 	We won't leave you.
 	Cheezi and Chungu hop off the cliff and begin to slide toward Janja.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
 	Janja struggles to escape but simply runs in place in the mud.
Janja 	*pants* [Cheezi and Chungu land on top of Janja.] *grunts*
Cheezi and Chungu 	*grunt*
Janja 	*sighs* How is this supposed to save me?
Cheezi 	Save you? *laughs* We weren't trying to save you.
Chungu 	Yeah! We just wanna keep you company.
 	Cheezi and Chungu settle more comfortably on top of Janja.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*sigh*
Janja 	Oh! *grumbles*
 	Cut to the top of a dead-end canyon. The camera pans down to show the oryxes lined up in a row, facing the camera. Nne and Tano hop into frame, landing on rocks.
Nne and Tano 	*laugh*
 	Nne and Tano advance on the oryxes.
Tano 	Oh, whatcha staring at, oryxes?
Nne 	Never seen smart hyenas before? [Cut to an overhead shot of Nne and Tano advancing on the oryxes. The Lion Guard runs past in the foreground.] *cackles*
 	Cut to Fuli running.
Fuli 	They still haven't!
 	Fuli tackles Nne.
Nne 	*yelps*
 	Tano flees, only to run into Kion, who headbutts him away.
Kion 	*grunts*
Tano 	*screams* [Cut to Nne. Tano lands in front of him.] *grunts*
 	Tano stands.
Nne 	Don't tell me. The Lion Guard.
 	Cut to the Lion Guard standing protectively in front of the oryxes.
Kion 	And you must be Janja's new crew.
Tano 	We're our own crew.
Nne 	So, now, what?
Tano 	You gonna scare us off with [mockingly] the Roar?
 	Ono lands on Beshte's back.
Kion 	You are pretty smart. *roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blow Nne and Tano away. Cut to the top of the cliff. The camera pans down to show Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja listening to Kion's Roar.
Janja 	That's the first time I was ever happy to hear that sound. [The ground begins to give way beneath Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja.] *yelps*
 	The ledge collapses, taking Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja with it.
Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja 	*scream*
 	Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja fall offscreen. A thud is heard. Cut to the Lion Guard striding through the savanna.
Fuli 	So, what about Janja?
Bunga 	Can't we just leave him on the ledge?
Kion 	I wish. But we gotta get him off the ledge and [Cut to a back shot of the Lion Guard striding toward the cliff.] out of the Pride Lands.
Beshte 	Hmm. Might not be easy.
 	The Lion Guard peers over the edge of the cliff. Cut to a splatter of mud down below.
Ono 	Uh, are we sure this is the right cliff?
Kion 	Janja? Cheezi? Chungu?
Beshte 	You okay?
 	Cut to Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja emerging from the mud.
Janja 	Uh, yeah! [stuttering] I think so.
 	Cheezi shakes the mud off him, and Chungu and Janja flinch.
Kion 	Okay then. It's time for you to go home.
 	Cut to Janja standing outside of the mud, while Cheezi and Chungu still sit in it.
Janja 	Fine with me. [Janja shakes the mud off one leg, then stalks away.] I've had enough of this place for one day. [Cheezi and Chungu stare after Janja sadly. Cut to Janja walking toward the Outlands. He pauses, then looks over one shoulder.] Hey, you coming?
Cheezi 	Sure, Janja!
Chungu 	We thought you'd never ask!
 	Cheezi and Chungu bound toward Janja. The hyenas begin to run, and Cheezi and Chungu bump into Janja from behind.
Janja 	Ooh. *snarls* Fur-brains.
Cheezi 	*laughs* That's right, Janja. That's what we are.
Chungu 	*chuckles* Yeah. Thanks. It means a lot coming from you.
Janja 	*growls*
 	Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja keep running. Cut to the Lion Guard watching from the clifftop, smiling.
Beshte 	I love a happy ending.
 	Cut to Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja running toward the Outlands. The camera pans up to show a wide shot of the Outlands volcano. The credits roll.
