 	The scene opens with Habari and Hoja playing Baobab ball by Pride Rock.
Habari 	Ha, I got the baobab fruit!
Hoja 	Not for long.
 	Hoja does this crazy move and takes the baobab fruit from Habari.
Habari 	Kichaa!
Hoja 	Who's got the baobab fruit now?
 	Habari does his own crazy move and takes back the baobab fruit.
Hoja 	Whoa.
 	Habari grins.
Habari 	Me.
Hoja 	Oh yeah? Well watch this-
 	Hoja tries to take back the fruit, but it gets knocked into the air.
 	At this moment, Kion is seen walking towards Habari.
Kion 	Habari! I have some good-
 	The fruit begins falling back down. It is directly above Kion's head.
Habari 	Dad! Look out!
Kion 	Huh?
 	Kion looks up. The fruit lands on his face.
Kion 	Ack!
 	Habari and Hoja laugh at this. Kion also laughs a tiny bit.
Kion 	Who threw that baobab fruit?
 	Habari points at Hoja. Hoja points at Habari.
Habari and Hoja 	Him!
Kion 	Hoja?
Hoja 	Oh come on, how did you know?
Kion 	Because you always hit the fruit into the air.
Hoja 	Yeah, I guess I do.
Kion 	Now, Habari.
Habari 	Yes Dad?
 	Kion smiles.
Kion 	It is time.
Habari 	Time for what?
Kion 	Habari, as you know, you have already selected the members of your Lion Guard. And now, it's time.
Hoja 	What?
Habari 	Really?
Kion 	Yes. Habari, I need you to assemble your team here at Pride Rock.
Habari 	Okay Dad. Be right back.
 	Habari runs off.
 	
 	{Habari goes throughout the Pride Lands and gathers the members of his team.}

 	The scene cuts back to Pride Rock after Habari returns with his guard members. Kion's guard is also there.
Habari 	Dad, I've got everyone.
Kion 	Good.
Kion 	*Announces* Hello everyone! You are all here today to begin your training. As the future Lion Guard, you'll need to know how to handle every situation.
Hoja 	Cool!
Kion 	*Announces* Each of you plays a very important and unique role in your Guard. Punda, the bravest. Hoja, the fastest. Nguvu, the strongest. Hurungi, the keenest of sight. And Habari, the fiercest, and the leader of the next Lion Guard.
Punda 	Nice.
Kion 	As I'm sure you know, the Lion Guard is the group of animals that protect the Pride Lands, and defend the Circle of Life. I know it can sound scary at first.
Punda 	Scary? Nah. Nothing scares me.
Hurungi 	[To Punda] Speak for yourself.
Kion 	And today, we begin your training.
 	
Kion 	Habari...
 	Kion places his paw on Habari.

Kion 	You'll be training with me and Rani.
Habari 	Okay.
 	
Kion 	Punda...
 	Kion places his paw on Punda.
Kion 	You are the Pride Lands' bravest.
 	The Mark of the Guard appears on Punda.

Section 2 of 5: Training Begins	Section 2 of 5: Training Begins
Rani 	Alright Habari, let's start with something important. The Roar of the Elders.
Habari 	The roar?
Rani 	Yes! As leader of the Lion Guard, you have the Roar of the Elders. Just like me and your father.
Kion 	Right. Now, let's go.
 	
 	The scene cuts to the border between the Pride Lands and the Outlands, where Kion first used the Roar of the Elders.
Kion 	Habari, this is where I first used the roar. And it's where you'll learn how to use it.
Habari 	Okay. How?
Rani 	It's much easier than it looks.
Kion 	Just relax, focus, and roar.
Habari 	Okay...
Habari 	*Exhales* Relax... focus... and...
 	Habari roars, but did not use the Roar of the Elders.
Kion 	It's okay. You'll get the hang of it. Keep trying.
Habari 	Okay. Relax... focus... and...
 	The clouds form above Habari. Habari roars, but again, doesn't use the Roar of the Elders. The clouds disappear.
Rani 	Almost there.
Habari 	Yeah. I'll try again.
 	
 	The scene cuts to Ukuni Woods. Bunga, Baliyo and Punda are there.
Bunga 	Alright, to be the bravest member of the Lion Guard, you need to complete this course.
 	The camera follows the course as Bunga and Baliyo explain it.
Baliyo 	First, you need to climb this ledge. It's pretty tall, but there are many rocks to grab onto.
Bunga 	After that, you'll have to cross Crocodile Pass. It's a lake, filled with crocodiles!
Baliyo 	Then, you'll have to jump across that ravine. It's pretty deep.
Bunga 	And then, to finish it off, you'll have to crawl through the thorn patch to reach the finish.
Punda 	Easy. Sounds like fun.
Bunga 	Good. Alright, and... go!
 	Punda begins running through the course.
 	
 	The scene cuts back to Kion, Rani, and Habari.
 	Habari focuses.
Habari 	Relax... focus...
 	Habari uses the Roar of the Elders.
Habari 	Yes!
Kion 	Great job son!
Habari 	Thanks, Dad.
Rani 	Do it again.
 	Habari uses the Roar of the Elders again.
Rani 	Great job!

 	The scene cuts to Rafiki's tree. Fuli, Nirmala and Hoja are there.
Fuli 	Wow Hoja, I've never had such a close race before.
Hoja 	Did I do good?
Nirmala 	You almost beat the fastest in the Pride Lands. I think that's pretty good.
Hoja 	Hunikamata!
Nirmala 	Now Hoja, remember. There's more to being on the Lion Guard than speed.
Hoja 	Yeah, I know.
Fuli 	For now, let's keep racing. Later, Kion and Rani will teach everyone how to fight.
Hoja 	Alright. How about we race to Mbali Fields?
Fuli 	Sounds good. Ready?
Hoja 	Yes.
Fuli 	Go!
 	Fuli and Hoja begin racing towards Mbali Fields. Nirmala runs behind them, but isn't able to keep up.
Fuli 	Huwezi!
Hoja 	Hunikamata!
 	
 	The scene cuts to Chakula Plains. Ono, Anga and Hurungi are there.
Anga 	Alright Hurungi, here's your challenge.
Ono 	First, you'll need to find Janja. He's hiding somewhere in the Pride Lands.
Anga 	Once you find him, he'll tell you what to do next.
Hurungi 	Got it. Nioni!
 	Hurungi flies up and looks around. Ono and Anga do not follow her.
Anga 	[To Ono] Where even is Janja?
Ono 	[To Anga] Very well hidden. Even you might have trouble finding him.
 	Anga flies up.
Anga 	Hurungi, find Janja yet?
Hurungi 	Not yet.
 	Hurungi continues searching.
Hurungi 	Nioni!
 	Hurungi flies towards Ukuni Woods. Anga and Ono follow behind her.
 	
 	The scene cuts to Big Springs. Beshte, Surak and Nguvu are there.
Beshte 	Alright Nguvu, as the Pride Lands' strongest, you'll need to be strong both above and below water.
Surak 	In the springs, we hid 3 flowers under the rocks.
Beshte 	Those rocks are really heavy.
Surak 	Nguvu, think you can find all 3 flowers?
 	Nguvu nods.
Beshte 	Alright. Good luck!
 	Nguvu nods as he enters the water.
Section 4 of 5 	Section 4 of 5
 	The scene cuts back to Bunga, Baliyo, and Punda.
 	Punda is climbing the tall ledge. She is almost at the top.
 	Punda climbs to the top and continues running the course.
Punda 	Ha.
 	Punda begins to jump across the crocodiles at Crocodile Pass.
Punda 	Naruka!
Bunga 	You're doing great Punda!
Punda 	Thanks Bunga.
 	Punda approaches the ravine. She jumps across.
Baliyo 	Nice!
 	Punda dives into the thorn patch without hesitation.
Punda 	Too easy.
 	Punda exits the thorn patch and has completed the course.
Baliyo 	Wow Bunga, Punda really puts your bravery to shame.
Punda 	Does that mean I did well?
Bunga 	Good? You did amazing! You're just what the Lion Guard needs.
Punda 	Oh, thank you!
Bunga 	Hakuna matata.
Baliyo 	If you want to run the course again before we go back to Pride Rock, you can do so.
Punda 	Naruka.
 	Punda begins running the course again.
 	
 	The scene cuts back to Fuli, Nirmala, and Hoja. They are still running. Nirmala is behind Hoja and Fuli, who are side-by-side.
Hoja 	Hunikamata!
 	Hoja begins to pull ahead of Fuli.
Fuli 	Huwezi!
 	Fuli is unable to catch back up with Hoja as they approach Mbali Fields.
Hoja 	Yes!
Fuli 	*Pants* Nice one Hoja.
Hoja 	Thanks Fuli.
Fuli 	Hoja, I think you've proven your speed. Should we head back to Pride Rock?
Hoja 	Sure. I'll race you.
 	Nirmala finally catches up.
Nirmala 	*Pants* No, no more races for me.
 	
 	The scene cuts to Ukuni Woods. Janja is hiding in a bush.
 	Hurungi flies in.
Hurungi 	Janja!
 	Janja gets scared by Hurungi.
Janja 	*Screams* Oh, it's just you Hurungi.
Hurungi 	Yep.
Janja 	Alright Hurungi. Now, you need to find Bhaaloo. He's hiding somewhere in the Pride Lands.
Hurungi 	Okay.
 	Hurungi flies off.
 	
 	The scene cuts back to Beshte, Surak, and Nguvu. Nguvu is underwater, pushing rocks.
 	Nguvu finds a flower.
Beshte 	That's 1.
 	Nguvu moves a big rock and finds another flower.
Surak 	That's 2.
 	Nguvu keeps searching and moving rocks. Eventually, Nguvu finds the third flower.
Beshte 	And that's 3. Great job Nguvu.
 	Nguvu nods.
Surak 	Let's head back to Pride Rock. Kion's probably waiting for us.
 	Nguvu nods.
 	
 	The scene cuts to Ndefu Grove. Bhaaloo is hiding in a tree.
 	Hurungi flies in.
Hurungi 	Bhaaloo!
Bhaaloo 	Aw, Hurungi found Bhaaloo. Guess Bhaaloo's hiding spot wasn't good enough.
Hurungi 	So, what's next?
Bhaaloo 	Oh right, of course. Now you need to return to Kion.
Hurungi 	Got it.
 	Hurungi flies off.
Section 5 of 5 	Section 5 of 5
 	The scene cuts to Pride Rock. Kion's guard and Habari's guard are there.
Kion 	How'd it go?
Bunga 	Punda did great.
Baliyo 	She's even braver than Bunga.
Fuli 	Hoja beat me too.
Beshte 	Nguvu did great too.
Anga 	Hurungi beat me too.
Kion 	Excellent. That means everyone is ready to learn how to fight. Being a part of the Lion Guard means you'll need to know how to fight and defend.
Rani 	Kion is going to teach you all how to fight. And then, we're going to challenge all of you. To complete the challenge, you'll all need to work together.
 	
Kion 	But first, let's see what you all got. I'm going to have everyone attack one of these logs. Punda?
 	Punda kicks a log. The log smashes.
Kion 	Pretty good.
Punda 	Thanks.
Kion 	Alright, Hoja?
 	Hoja jumps towards a log. He claws and bites the log. This log also smashes.
Kion 	Nice. Next up, Nguvu?
 	Nguvu swings his tail and hits the log. This log also smashes.
Kion 	Nice one.
 	Nguvu nods.
Kion 	Hurungi, you're a bit smaller than everyone else. But show us what you got.
 	Hurungi flies up and dives into a log. The log smashes.
Kion 	Wow. Not bad.
Hurungi 	Thanks.
Kion 	And, Habari. Of course, you have the Roar of the Elders. But, you shouldn't use the roar unless you absolutely need to.
Habari 	Right.
Kion 	So, it's your turn now.
 	Habari jumps at a log with his claws out. Again, the log smashes.
Kion 	Great.
Habari 	Thanks.
Rani 	Alright everyone. Now, it's time for the real test.
Hoja 	What are we doing?
Rani 	I will run off and hide somewhere in the Pride Lands. First, you'll need to find me. Second, you'll need to get to me as fast as possible. And then finally, you'll need to pin me down.
Kion 	Everyone will need to help to get to Rani's hiding spot.
 	
 	Jump ahead in time. Rani is hidden and Anga is flying above.
Anga 	Rani's in position. You can start now.
Kion 	Alright everyone, good luck.
Habari 	Thanks, Dad. Hurungi, fly up and try to find Rani.
Hurungi 	Got it. Nioni!
 	Hurungi flies up and searches for Rani. Rani is spotted at Mekundu Cliffs.
Hurungi 	Rani's at Mekundu Cliffs.
Habari 	Alright, let's go. Till the Pride Lands end...
Habari's Guard Members 	Lion Guard defend!
 	♪ {A sped-up version of Call of the Guard plays in the background} ♪
 	Habari's guard heads out.
Kion 	He learned from the best.
 	
 	The camera follows Habari's guard.
 	They approach a big boulder blocking the path.
Habari 	Nguvu, can you move that rock?
 	Nguvu nods. He begins to push the rock.
Habari 	Nice. Let's keep going.
 	They continue. Anga flies down.
Anga 	For this part, you need to split up. Habari, Nguvu and Hurungi, you have a normal path. Go left.
Habari 	Got it.
Anga 	Hoja, you have a very long path. Go right.
Hoja 	Okay.
Anga 	Punda, you have a very short path. Go straight.
Punda 	Okay.
Anga 	All of you should make it to the end of your paths at the same time.
 	Anga flies back up. Everyone takes the path they need to take. The camera follows Hoja.
Hoja 	Hunikamata!
 	The scene then jumps to Punda. Punda's path is short, but contains a lot of scary stuff.
Punda 	Naruka!
 	
 	The scene jumps to the end of all 3 paths. Everyone arrives at the same time.
Habari 	Everyone, keep going.
 	They soon arrive at a wall of logs.
Habari 	Nguvu?
 	Nguvu nods. He attempts to push the logs out of the way but is unable to. Nguvu shakes his head.
Habari 	Okay. Let me try this.
 	Habari uses the Roar of the Elders.
Hurungi 	Nioni...
Habari 	Let's go.
 	
 	The scene jumps to Mekundu Cliffs. Habari's guard arrives.
 	Habari and his guard successfully pin Rani.
Rani 	Great job everyone!
Habari 	How'd we do?
Rani 	Let's head back to Pride Rock and find out.
 	
 	The scene cuts to Pride Rock. Kion's guard, minus Anga and Rani, are waiting there as Habari's guard returns with Rani.
Kion 	I see you found Rani.
Hurungi 	We did!
 	Anga flies in.
Kion 	Anga? How'd they do?
Anga 	They did great. They're ready.
Kion 	Thanks Anga.
Habari 	What now?
Kion 	Well, you and your guard are ready. Habari, you are now the leader of the new Lion Guard.
Habari 	Kichaa!
 	The Mark of the Guard disappears from Kion, Bunga, Fuli, Beshte, Ono, Anga, Baliyo, Nirmala, Surak, and Rani.
Rani 	And if you ever need help, you know where to find us. Good luck Habari, Lion Guard. I know you'll do great.
Habari 	Thanks, Mom.
Anga 	And it looks like it's already time for their first mission!
Habari 	Anga?
Anga 	The antelope are stampeding!
Habari 	Everyone, let's go! Till the Pride Lands end...
Everyone 	Lion Guard defend!
 	Roll the end credits.
Note: As with all episodes I create, there is a chance it will be updated in the future. If you feel something needs changing, let me know and maybe I'll make that change.
==Summary==
While Habari is playing a game of Baobab Ball with Hoja, Kion informs him that his Lion Guard is ready to begin training. Kion asks Habari to assemble his team at Pride Rock.
After Habari assembles Punda, Hoja, Nguvu, and Hurungi, Kion makes each of them members of the Lion Guard, and sends each of Habari's teammates off to train with 2 of Kion's teammates.
Habari trains with Kion and Rani. They teach him how to use the Roar of the Elders. Habari struggles at first but eventually figures it out.
Punda trains with Bunga and Baliyo. They set up a course for Punda to complete. She'll need to pass a lot of scary stuff in order to prove her bravery. Punda succeeds.
Hoja trains with Fuli and Nirmala. They race to Rafiki's tree. Hoja almost beats Fuli, and Fuli is impressed with Hoja. They do another race, this time to Mbali Fields. This time, Hoja wins.
Hurungi trains with Ono and Anga. Hurungi is first instructed to find Janja, who is hiding somewhere in the Pride Lands. After Hurungi succeeds, she is instructed to find Bhaaloo, who is also hiding somewhere. Hurungi quickly succeeds again.
Nguvu trains with Beshte and Surak. Nguvu is instructed to locate 3 flowers hidden under a pile of rocks. The rocks are also underwater. Nguvu has no problem moving the heavy rocks and finding the flowers.
Afterwards, they all return to Pride Rock, where everyone's general fighting skills are tested. After everyone succeeds this test, Rani explains the final test to everyone. Rani will hide somewhere in the Pride Lands, and it'll be up to Habari's Lion Guard to quickly find and pin her. After Hurungi spots Rani at Mekundu Cliffs, they head off. Along the way, Nguvu needed to clear the path of a pile of rocks, and Habari had to use the roar to clear the path of a pile of logs. After they get to Rani, they pin her successfully, and Kion's Lion Guard step down.

Note: Characters are categorized by their importance in this episode alone, and does not take into account any other episodes.
==Development==
This episode was never planned to exist in the first place. However, after I created the current ending of Bhaaloo's Revenge (EBA's Fanon), I knew I needed to do something with Habari and his Lion Guard. And so this episode was created.
==Trivia==
* The first draft of this episode did not contain Hurungi, and instead used Ona. This was quickly changed once I realized the significant age difference between Ona and Habari, and Hurungi was created.
* Nguvu is unable to speak. This was originally an accident; While quickly drafting the episode, I did not actually give Nguvu any lines, while I did give Punda, Hoja, and Ona several lines. This accident then became a permanent addition, and was kept in mind as I continued drafting the episode.
