Eye of the Beholder/Transcript

The screen is obscured by dust. Kion crouches low, while wildebeests run around in panic.
Wildebeests 	*bellow*
 	A wildebeest charges at Kion, and he dodges.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	Kion ducks as a wildebeest charges past. Fuli sidles up to Kion.
Fuli 	Kion! [Fuli flinches at a passing wildebeest.] *groans* How are we supposed to chase off the hyenas? [Fuli looks around pointedly.] We can't even see them with all this dust.
Kion 	I'm sure that's part of Janja's plan, Fuli.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Kion! [Ono flies over Kion and Fuli.] Fuli! Look out!
 	A wildebeest charges at the screen, and Kion and Fuli dart in opposite directions.
Kion 	Kabisa!
Fuli 	Whoa!
Kion 	Good eyes, Ono! Keep 'em peeled for Janja and his clan!
Ono 	Peeled eyes? [Ono makes a disgusted face.] Ewww. *gasps* [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Cheezi and Chungu hiding in some underbrush. A baby wildebeest stands nearby.] Hapana! Bunga! Beshte! [Beshte and Bunga look up at Ono.] I see Cheezi and Chungu! They're behind that bush!
Bunga 	Let's get 'em, Beshte.
 	Bunga hops onto Beshte's back. Meanwhile, Cheezi and Chungu continue to sneak up on the baby wildebeest.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
 	Cheezi and Chungu lunge out of the underbrush, and the baby wildebeest flees.
Beshte 	Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte charges at Cheezi and Chungu, who flee.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*scream*
 	Bunga lifts an arm into the air.
Bunga 	[triumphantly] Zuka zama!
Ono 	*chuckles* That takes care of those two.
 	Kion's face turns to horror as a wildebeest charges toward him.
Wildebeests 	*bellow*
Kion 	*yells* [Kion jumps over the charging wildebeest.] Ono! [Ono flies over Kion.] Look for Janja! We chase him off, the rest of the hyenas will go too!
Ono 	Affirmative!
 	Ono swoops offscreen. Meanwhile, Kion ducks to avoid more running wildebeests.
Wildebeests 	*bellow*
 	From behind Kion, Janja materializes through the dust.
Janja 	*snarls* [softly, to himself] Gotcha now, lion cub.
Ono 	*gasps* [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Janja sneaking up behind Kion.] Kion! Behind you! Look out!
 	Janja lunges at Kion.
Janja 	*snarls*
 	Janja and Kion roll on the ground.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	Janja pins Kion.
Kion 	*gasps* Janja! [Janja attempts to bite Kion, but he dodges out of the way. Kion manages to pin Janja.] I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!
Janja 	[from under Kion's paw] Did you? I must have forgot! [Janja lunges at Kion.] *grunts*
Ono 	Kion! [Ono's vision flickers.] Incoming!
 	From underneath Janja, Kion looks behind him. He then looks up at Janja with a confident grin.
Kion 	See ya, hyena.
 	Kion kicks Janja into the horns of a passing wildebeest.
Wildebeests 	*bellow*
Janja 	*screams* [The wildebeest bucks its head, and Janja goes flying. He lands in a heap on the ground.] *grunts* I've had enough. [Janja stands. Cheezi and Chungu stand nearby.] Come on, fellows. Let's go!
 	Janja runs offscreen.
Cheezi 	But, Janja, what about the plan?
Chungu 	*chuckles* Yeah. The dust is still making things hard to see.
 	Janja pauses on his way into the Outlands.
Janja 	Yeah, yeah. Dust don't matter when the Lion Guard has [Janja looks up pointedly.] eyes in the sky. Now, move it!
 	Cheezi and Chungu bound after Janja. Fuli approaches from behind.
Fuli 	That's right! Get out of here!
 	Chungu pauses and looks back at Fuli.
Chungu 	*laughs nervously* I'm going! I'm going!
 	Chungu takes off after Janja and Cheezi.
Kion 	Keep going, Janja! All the way back to the Outlands!
Bunga 	And stay out!
Kion 	Nice job, everyone. Follow them, Ono. Make sure they leave the Pride Lands.
 	Ono salutes Kion.
Ono 	You got it, Kion. [Ono flies after Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu.] You heard him! Keep going! [The hyenas disappear over a cliff. Some dust falls into Ono's eyes as he flies after them.] Owww! My eye! [Ono careens toward the ground.] *screams* I'm hit!
Kion 	Oh, no. [from offscreen] Ono!
 	Ono hits several trees as he falls.
Ono 	*grunts* [Ono lands in a bush, stumbles out, then collapses on his back.] *groans* Bird down! Bird down! *groans*
 	From Ono's point of view, we see his eyes open to fuzzy vision. Kion and Fuli gather around him worriedly.
Fuli 	He's over here!
Kion 	Don't worry, Ono. We'll get you to Rafiki. He'll know what to do.
 	The scene transitions to Pride Rock.
Birds 	*chirp*
Rafiki 	[from offscreen] *hums* [Rafiki paints in the Lair of the Lion Guard. Cut to reveal that he is painting the Lion Guard.] *chuckles*
Kion 	[from offscreen] Rafiki!
 	Rafiki looks over one shoulder.
Rafiki 	Huh?
 	The Lion Guard strides into the Lair of the Lion Guard. Ono lies on Beshte's back, with one eye closed.
Kion 	We need you, Rafiki. Ono's hurt.
 	The Lion Guard pauses, and Beshte bends down.
Beshte 	Easy there, Ono.
Ono 	Owww, my eye.
 	Rafiki approaches Ono and inspects his eye.
Rafiki 	Mmm, yes. I see you cannot see. Ha, ha! [From Ono's point of view, we see Rafiki through fuzzy vision.] Dirt in the eye! Not as bad as it looks. [Rafiki puts some leaves on a flat rock. He beckons to the Lion Guard.] Now, down here! Quick!
 	Beshte bends down, and Ono slides down his snout onto the rock.
Ono 	*groans*
 	Rafiki approaches with a broken gourd.
Rafiki 	Okay, it's okay. Just a moment. [Rafiki motions to the Lion Guard to back up.] And a little space? [The Lion Guard looks on worriedly. Rafiki mashes some leaves in his gourd.] Mmm. Yes, yes. Just enough. [Rafiki adds some pink paste. The Lion Guard continues to watch in concern.] Now, hold still, Ono. [Rafiki wraps something that is offscreen.] And... Ah-ha! [Rafiki lifts his arms in triumph.] Yes! There.
 	Ono sits up. He has a leafy eye patch over his left eye.
Ono 	*gulps* How's it look?
Bunga 	Hmm.
Fuli 	Well...
 	Bunga and Fuli exchange glances.
Ono 	Oh, [Ono cowers.] is it that bad?
Fuli 	[regaining her composure] No, no. Not at all.
Beshte 	I like it. Green is your color.
Bunga 	Yeah, yeah, yeah! [Bunga strides toward Ono.] It totally brings out your eyes!
Fuli 	Bunga!
Bunga 	Did I say your eyes? I mean, it brings out your [Bunga points at his eye.] one eye. The one you've got left. [Bunga scratches the back of his head.] I mean, I know the other one's still there, but you can't see it. I mean, uh...
 	Bunga facepalms.
Ono 	[resigned] Oh, forget it.
Beshte 	Well, I think it's poa. And if I ever get dirt in my eye, I want one just like it.
Kion 	Yeah. Me too.
 	Ono looks over one shoulder at Rafiki.
Ono 	So, am I gonna be okay?
 	Rafiki waves dismissively.
Rafiki 	Yes, yes. [Rafiki strides around Ono.] Your eye will be fine. [Rafiki leans an elbow on the rock and points at Ono.] Just wear this eye patch for three days...and no craziness.
Ono 	Three days?
 	Bunga spreads his arms wide.
Bunga 	No craziness?
Kion 	Don't worry, Ono. The Guard can get by for a couple days without you. You need to rest and get better.
Ono 	But I can still help the Guard. [Ono leaps to his feet.] Besides, I can see just fine. [Ono turns and runs headlong into the wall.] *grunts* Is that wall new?
Fuli 	No, but those paintings are.
 	Cut to cave paintings of several Lion Guards.
Rafiki 	[from offscreen] Yes, yes. Every Lion Guard appears on the walls of the lair so everyone remembers who they are. [The camera settles on the painting of Kion's Lion Guard. The Lion Guard and Rafiki survey the paintings.] Today, I must add all of you to the story of the Lion Guard.
Beshte 	Poa! [Cut to the camera zooming in on the painting of Kion.] So that's Kion... [The camera pans to the painting of Fuli.] and there's Fuli.
 	The camera pans to the painting of Bunga.
Bunga 	And that's me! [Bunga points at the painting.] That's me! That's me! That's me!
Kion 	Amazing.
Rafiki 	Amazing to [Rafiki points at Kion.] you. [Rafiki points at himself.] To me? Not so much. But they do say that art is in the eye of the beholder.
Bunga 	You got what in your eye?
Ono 	"Eye of the beholder." It means everyone has their own opinion of what's good.
Rafiki 	Yes. [Rafiki stares thoughtfully at the cave paintings.] And this painting, it does not quite have the [Rafiki gestures emphatically at the Lion Guard.] spirit of your Lion Guard.
Kion 	What do you think, Ono?
 	Bunga sidles up to Kion.
Bunga 	Kion, Ono can't see.
 	Ono jumps into the air and hovers in front of Bunga.
Ono 	Yes, I can! And I'm still the keenest of sight. Come on, I'll prove it!
 	Ono flies offscreen.
Kion 	Ono!
Beshte 	Be careful!
 	Ono flies out of a hole in the ceiling.
Fuli 	Wait up!
 	The Lion Guard rushes out of the Lair of the Lion Guard. Rafiki turns back to survey his cave paintings.
Rafiki 	Hmm. In my eye, it is not yet right.
 	The scene transitions. Ono flies across the savanna, while Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli keep pace with him below.
Kion 	Ono! You should be taking it easy!
Ono 	Flying is easy! I hurt my eye, not my wings. Just watch. You'll see. [Ono flies higher.] I can still help the Guard. [Ono's vision flickers, and he overlooks the savanna below.] I can see everything from up here. [Mzingo flies into Ono's field of vision, heading right for the camera. They bump into each other.] *groans*
 	Ono falls offscreen.
Mwoga 	Oi, watch where you're going!
 	Ono falls.
Ono 	*screams*
 	Mwoga stares after Ono with interest.
Mwoga 	Hmm.
 	Ono hurtles toward Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli.
Bunga 	Incoming!
 	Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli scatter. Ono runs frantically along the ground, mid-landing.
Ono 	Whoa, whoa, whoa! *screams* [Ono trips and rolls along the ground.] Whoa! *grunts*
 	Ono stops rolling. He sits up and looks around, then collapses on his back. His friends approach from behind.
Beshte 	Ono, are you okay?
Ono 	*groans* I'm good.
Fuli 	Maybe you shouldn't be flying around with just one eye?
Ono 	*groans*
 	The camera pans up to reveal Mwoga flying overhead.
Mwoga 	Interesting.
Kion 	Ono, I really think you should take a break.
 	Ono sits up.
Ono 	But doesn't the Guard need me? I'm the keenest of sight.
Bunga 	[muttering] You were the keenest of sight.
Kion 	Easy, Bunga.
Ono 	[desperately] Kion?
Kion 	You just need to get better, Ono. You'll be back on duty in no time. But for now, let's get you back to the Lair.
Ono 	Okay.
Mwoga 	*chuckles* Definitely interesting.
 	Mwoga flies offscreen. The scene transitions to the Outlands. Mzingo's parliament sit in the branches of a dead tree.
Mzingo 	And so, on the question as to whether impala or reedbuck tastes better, [Mzingo taps his wings together thoughtfully.] the parliament finds more deliberation is necessary.
Mwoga 	[from offscreen] Mzingo! [Mwoga flies toward Mzingo's parliament.] *pants* Sorry I'm late.
 	Mzingo rolls his eyes.
Mzingo 	*sighs* Mwoga. Mwoga. Motion to allow Mwoga to join parliamentary procedures already in progress.
 	The vultures each raise one wing, with the exception of one.
Vultures 	Aye!
Vulture 	Nay!
Mzingo 	The ayes have it. Mwoga, you may rejoin the parliament. [Mwoga lands on a branch next to the vulture who voted against him. He scoots closer to Mzingo, which forces the vulture to switch places with him.] I trust you have a compelling reason for being late.
Mwoga 	Indeed. [Mwoga conspiratorially holds one wing to the side of his head.] It seems that Ono of the Lion Guard [Mwoga peers through his feathers.] is no longer able to see out of one eye.
Mzingo 	The keenest of sight can no longer see? [Mzingo looks away thoughtfully.] Hmm. That is interesting.
 	Mwoga holds up a wing.
Mwoga 	I suggest we form a subcommittee to study the situation.
Mzingo 	Capital idea. Do I hear a second?
 	Mwoga glares at the vulture who voted against him.
Mwoga 	*grunts*
 	The vulture cowers and holds up a wing.
Vulture 	Aye!
Mzingo 	Very well. The meeting to nominate subcommittee members to study the severity of Ono's loss of eyesight will go to the planning committee for a vote during the next session. [The camera pans down to reveal Janja at the base of the parliament's tree. His head is tilted to the side as he eavesdrops. Behind him are Cheezi and Chungu.] I feel the need to...
Chungu 	Can we go now? [Chungu sits.] I'm hungry.
 	Janja glares over one shoulder at Cheezi and Chungu.
Janja 	Shhh! [Janja tips one ear toward the vultures.] The vultures always know what's going on in the Pride Lands. And it sounds like Ono can't see.
Cheezi 	*laughs* Ono can't see! Yeah, that's great! [Cheezi's face turns to confusion.] *gasps* Uh, why is that great?
 	Janja paces toward Cheezi and Chungu.
Janja 	Because, fur-brain, Ono is the Guard's eyes in the sky. Any time I got a brilliant plan, Ono spots it, and the Guard ruins it. But if he can't see anymore... *laughs* I got an idea. Come on! [Janja starts to bound away, then pauses and looks over one shoulder at Cheezi and Chungu.] And before you ask, yes, it involves food.
 	Janja runs offscreen. Cheezi and Chungu exchange confused glances.
Chungu 	How'd he know we were thinking about food?
Cheezi 	We're always thinking about food!
Chungu 	Oh, yeah! *laughs* [Cheezi and Chungu race after Janja.] Hey, hey, hey, wait for us!
 	Cheezi and Chungu catch up to Janja.
Cheezi 	So, what's the idea, Janja?
Chungu 	Tell us the plan! Tell us the plan!
Janja 	Easy, fellows. Easy. [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu enter a grassy area on the border of the Outlands and the Pride Lands. Cheezi and Chungu bob their heads to the music.] Give me a sec to think things through. We need a plan for something new. I think I know just what to do so that Guard won't have a clue. [The camera zooms in on Janja's eye. Everything takes on a surrealist style. Ono flaps onscreen, but Janja appears and blows him away.] Without their eyes up in the sky, [The camera zooms out to reveal Cheezi and Chungu standing next to Janja.] we'll trick them hiding way up high. [The camera zooms out to reveal the Lion Guard crouching defensively below Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu. The hyenas slink away.] We'll make our move. We'll be so sly. And then we can kiss the Guard goodbye!
 	Chungu blows a kiss at the Lion Guard.
Cheezi 	Ha, ha!
Chungu 	Bye-bye!
 	Cheezi waves at the Lion Guard.
Janja 	Oh, yeah! [Several animals ride along a river in leaves.] [An oversized Janja picks up a cow.] Once the Lion Guard's outta the way, [An oversized Cheezi and Chungu emerge next to Janja and eye the animals hungrily.] the Pride Lands will be our buffet. [Cheezi and Chungu fight over a zebra.] We'll eat all night. We'll eat all day [The background changes from blue to orange. Janja appears, dominating the screen, and lifts his paws into the air.] with the Lion Guard outta the way. Outta the way!
 	Janja ducks down, and Cheezi and Chungu take his place.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu duck down, and Janja takes their place.
Janja 	Outta the way!
 	Janja ducks down, and Cheezi and Chungu take his place.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu duck down, and Janja takes their place. A duck and a wildebeest hop up on either side of Janja.
Janja 	Then we can feast on bird and beast...
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	...when they're outta the way!
 	Cheezi dances in a spotlight, then runs offscreen. Chungu appears, shaking his backside to the beat. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu stand atop a gorge, with rock piles in front of them.
Janja 	We'll make a trap that they can't see, one they can't escape so easily. [Janja knocks one of the rock piles into the gorge.] A rock slide or two in a narrow ravine [The rocks block the gorge, and the Lion Guard is trapped at the bottom.] can be just the trick, [Rocks block the screen.] if you know what I mean. [Cheezi and Chungu nod.] *laughs* [Cheezi and Chungu shake their heads.] Oh, fur-brains! [The camera pans down to show Janja rolling on a rock over the Lion Guard.] Once the Lion Guard's outta the way, [The camera pans to show Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu floating down a river on leaves, their bellies comically full.] the Pride Lands will be our buffet. [Chungu chews on a bone. We'll eat all night. [The background changes from blue to orange. Janja emerges from behind Chungu.] We'll eat all day with the Lion Guard outta the way. Outta the way!
 	Cheezi dances in a spotlight.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	A zebra jumps through the spotlight.
Janja 	Outta the way!
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu jump after the zebra.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu form a circle and glare into the screen.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	Then we can feast on bird and beast [A ring of trembling zebras stare up into the camera.] when they're outta the way!
 	Janja dances with a zebra in a spotlight. He spins the zebra toward Cheezi, who throws the zebra into a river. The zebra lands in a leaf and floats toward a cave. The cave snaps shut on the zebra, revealing that it was actually Janja's open mouth. Janja stands with his arms outspread in a circle of dancing zebras.
Janja 	Oh, outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
Janja 	Outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu lounge on the ground, their bellies comically full.
Janja 	Then we can feast on bird and beast...
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	...when they're outta the way!
 	Janja collapses on his back. The scene transitions to show Janja onscreen.
Janja 	One more time! [Janja ducks down, and three zebras take his place.] Outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu appear on either side of the zebras, who begin trembling.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu duck down, and Janja takes their place.
Janja 	Outta the way!
 	Janja ducks down, and Cheezi and Chungu take his place.
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu duck down. The scene transitions to show Cheezi and Chungu ducking up and down to the beat. The style returns to normal.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	Then we can feast on bird and beast [Janja emerges in-between Cheezi and Chungu. The hyenas lift their arms into the air.] when they're outta the way! When they're outta the way! [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu go back to back.] When they're outta the way!
 	Cheezi and Chungu spring apart from Janja.
Janja 	*laughs* [Janja stands.] Do you get it now?
 	Cheezi and Chungu shake their heads. Janja buries his head in his paws. The scene transitions to the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Rafiki 	[from offscreen] *hums* Hold still, Kion.
 	Kion poses on a rock.
Kion 	How does it look?
 	Rafiki paints the Lion Guard, while Bunga and Fuli watch from nearby.
Rafiki 	Uh, it is still not right.
 	Rafiki pauses and glances over one shoulder at Kion.
Bunga 	Try painting him in action. Like this! [Bunga poses.] *growls* Now, you try it.
Kion 	Like this? [Kion poses.] *growls*
 	Bunga bounds up a rock pile to join Kion.
Bunga 	No, no, no. You need to look more like a lion. [Bunga poses.] *growls*
Fuli 	*chuckles* How can Kion look more like a lion?
Bunga 	Like this. [Bunga shoves Kion.] *grunts* [Bunga adjusts Kion's legs and puts him in an upright position.] Ah. See? [Bunga adjusts Kion's jaw.] Now, put your chin out, like you mean it.
 	Rafiki rolls his eyes.
Rafiki 	*groans*
Kion 	*giggles* Bunga, that tickles.
 	Bunga poses Kion.
Bunga 	Hmm, Kion, you're not looking very lion-y. [Bunga adjusts Kion's legs.] Let's see. Hmm.
 	Kion teeters.
Kion 	Whoa! Bunga! [Kion collapses.] *grunts*
Fuli 	Was that action enough for you, Rafiki?
Rafiki 	Hmm, yes.
 	Bunga lifts one arm into the air.
Bunga 	Wait a minute. I know. Paint me in action. [Bunga strikes multiple poses.] *grunts* [Bunga steps on a broken gourd, which flies into the air and lands on his head.] But don't paint me like this.
 	Kion collapses in laughter.
Kion 	*laughs* [Rafiki glares, unamused.] Sorry, Rafiki.
 	Kion stands and gets back into his pose. Rafiki holds up a hand.
Rafiki 	No, no, no. [Rafiki wags a finger.] Thank you for the help. [Rafiki makes shooing motions at the Lion Guard.] Now, please, no more help. I need to think in peace.
 	Rafiki sits in a meditative position.
Beshte 	[from offscreen] Hey, you guys. [Rafiki's eyes snap open. Beshte rushes into the Lair of the Lion Guard.] I have some news.
 	Rafiki sags out of his meditative position.
Rafiki 	*sighs* No peace here.
 	Kion approaches Beshte.
Kion 	So, what's the news, Beshte?
 	Kion, Bunga, and Fuli gather around Beshte.
Beshte 	Oh, it's really important. See, I was just down at the watering hole. And my friend Kulu? Her cousin overheard some buffalo [Kion's face turns to confusion.] talking about something his sister saw earlier today when she was over in the canyon near Chakula Plains. Poa! I'm glad I was there to hear about it.
Kion 	And what was it, Beshte?
Beshte 	What was what?
 	Fuli rolls her eyes.
Fuli 	[irritated] *groans* [Fuli stamps a paw emphatically.] What your friend Kulu's cousin overheard the buffalo's sister say she saw from the canyon!
Beshte 	Oh, right. *chuckles* I almost forgot the most important part. She saw Janja and his hyenas on the ledge overlooking the plains.
Kion 	Janja? Back in the Pride Lands? He wouldn't come back unless he was planning something. [Kion paces away thoughtfully.] Hmm...
Beshte 	Oh! Did I mention there's a herd of zebra grazing there?
Kion 	That's it! [Kion turns to face his friends.] Janja's planning to attack the zebras! Come on, we have to get to Chakula Plains! [Kion bounds out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.] Till the Pride Lands' end...
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli follow Kion.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Lion Guard defend!
 	Ono watches his friends leave from a nest.
Ono 	[crestfallen] Most of the Lion Guard defend.
 	Rafiki paints the Lion Guard.
Rafiki 	*hums* [Rafiki stops painting and throws up his hands.] Ah! Why? Why? [Rafiki bounds away from his paintings.] It is still not right!
 	Ono flies down to survey the paintings.
Ono 	[from offscreen] It looks fine to me, Rafiki. [The camera pans to show Rafiki's paintings of past Lion Guards.] It's just like all the other Lion Guard paintings.
 	Rafiki holds up his hands.
Rafiki 	That is the problem. [Rafiki puts a hand to his face thoughtfully.] The new Lion Guard, it is not like the others. Yet it should be simple. [The camera zooms in on Rafiki's painting of Kion's Lion Guard.] Their leader and those he leads. [Rafiki holds up his fists.] Ha, ha! [Rafiki unclenches his fists.] Kion! [Rafiki gestures at the painting of Kion.] He does not just lead you. [Rafiki approaches the painting of Kion's Lion Guard.] You are all friends! *laughs* Yes! Yes! [Rafiki turns to face Ono.] You all belong together!
Ono 	[pensively] We do belong together. All of us. [with more confidence] Eye or no eye, my place is with the Guard. Thanks, Rafiki! [Ono flies out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.] I gotta get going if I'm gonna catch up with them!
 	The scene transitions to Chakula Plains, where Thurston's herd grazes peacefully. Janja's shadow looms from on top of a series of nearby cliffs. He sneers down at Thurston's herd, then returns to Cheezi, who is gathering a large pile of rocks.
Cheezi 	*grunts* There. Why're we doing this, Janja? We can't eat rocks.
 	Chungu chomps on a rock. He freezes, and the rock drops from his mouth.
Chungu 	What?
Janja 	All part of my plan.
 	Chungu strides up to join Cheezi.
Chungu 	To eat zebras?
Janja 	The zebras are just the bait.
Cheezi 	To catch bigger zebras?
 	Cheezi tilts his head questioningly. Janja rolls his eyes.
Janja 	No, fur-brains. To trap the Lion Guard.
Chungu 	Uh, we're gonna eat the Lion Guard?
Janja 	No! We're gonna...
Kion 	[from offscreen] Hurry! This way!
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu walk to the edge of the cliffs and look down.
Janja 	Shhh. [Cheezi and Chungu lower their ears.] Here they come now.
 	In the ravine below, the Lion Guard races past.
Kion 	This is the fastest way to the zebras! Come on!
Janja 	Now!
 	Cheezi and Chungu run up to the pile of rocks and push it into the ravine.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*grunt*
 	The Lion Guard skids to a halt.
Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli	Whoa! *grunt* [Dust obscures the screen. It clears, showing the blocked ravine.] *cough*
Kion 	Quick! We'll have to take the long way 'round.
 	The Lion Guard turns and walks in the opposite direction.
Janja 	That's what you think. [Janja approaches a large boulder and pushes it into the ravine.] *grunts*
 	The boulder falls, dislodging an even bigger boulder, which falls and blocks the other side of the ravine.
Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli	Whoa!
Bunga 	[from offscreen] Not again!
Kion 	Take cover.
 	Kion looks up as more rocks fall. Beshte looks around wildly, and a large rock falls on his back.
Beshte 	*grunts*
 	Beshte struggles to hold up the rock. Fuli rushes in to help him brace against it.
Fuli 	Kion! Bunga!
 	Kion and Bunga dodge more falling rocks.
Kion 	Bunga!
 	Kion looks over one shoulder worriedly. Bunga slides over to join Kion and puts his hands on his hips.
Bunga 	*giggles*
Kion 	[to Beshte and Fuli] Everyone okay?
Beshte 	Yep.
Fuli 	I'm good.
Bunga 	Let's do that again!
 	Kion rolls his eyes.
Kion 	Right. Thanks, Beshte.
Beshte 	Poa. [Beshte shoves the rock aside.] *grunts*
 	Kion looks around the ravine.
Kion 	Hevi kabisa!
Fuli 	What are the chances of two rockslides making two walls in one day with us in the middle?
Kion 	No chance. This is Janja's doing.
Janja 	[from offscreen] You got that right, Kion! [Kion looks up to where Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu are overlooking the Lion Guard.] You're trapped! I win! *laughs* Looks like we're dining on zebra today, and you can't do nothing to stop me!
Kion 	Don't even try it, Janja! [Kion attempts to climb the wall of the ravine, only to slide back down to the ground.] *grunts*
Janja 	How you gonna stop me, lion cub? You're all the way down there! Awww, poor little Lion Guard. Protectors of the Pride Lands, stuck behind a big old wall.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
 	Kion glares up at Janja.
Janja 	[from offscreen] You fell right into my trap... [Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu overlook the Lion Guard.] or my trap fell right onto you!
 	The hyenas walk out of view.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	*laugh*
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu walk away from the cliffs.
Janja 	Come on, boys. All the zebra you can eat...and more.
Chungu 	Now, you're talkin'.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
 	The hyenas stride down a path that leads down the cliffs.
Janja 	Outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
Janja 	Outta the way!
Cheezi and Chungu 	Outta the way!
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	Now, we can feast on bird and beast. Now, they're outta the way. Now, they're outta the way!
Chungu 	*laughs* Now, we get it.
 	The scene transitions to the Lion Guard stuck in the ravine.
Bunga 	What are you waiting for, Kion? Use the Roar! Blast that wall!
Kion 	Uh, I can't, Bunga. [Beshte approaches the pile of rocks that blocks the Lion Guard from Chakula Plains.] The zebras are right on the other side. The rocks could fly out and hurt them.
Bunga 	Oh, right. Then blast this wall. We can go around the long way to get to the zebras, and then... [Bunga deflates.] Oh.
Fuli 	Then it'll be too late.
Beshte 	I think I can move this rock. Maybe it'll make an opening big enough for us to squeeze through.
Kion 	Worth a try. Go for it, Beshte.
 	Beshte pushes against the pile of rocks.
Beshte 	*grunts* Twende kiboko!
Bunga 	Whoa.
Kion 	Beshte! Watch out!
 	Beshte looks up.
Beshte 	Uh-oh.
 	Beshte gets out of the way as rocks fall off the pile.
Kion 	Beshte, you okay?
Beshte 	I'm okay. Sorry that didn't work.
Kion 	Don't worry, Beshte. We just have to come up with something that will work.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Guys! Guys!
Fuli 	Ono!
 	Ono lands on a nearby rock.
Bunga 	Heya, Ono!
Ono 	I don't know if I can help, but I'm here.
Beshte 	You flew all the way here? You must be feeling better.
Ono 	Well, I still can't see very well.
Kion 	It doesn't matter. You flew here. And that gives me an idea. [Kion approaches Ono.] Ono, I'm gonna use the Roar to blast those rocks. Fly over to the zebras and get them to move away from the canyon.
Ono 	Easy enough. You got it, Kion. [Ono flies toward Thurston's herd and hovers in front of Thurston.] If you would, please, follow me away from the canyon. *chuckles nervously* [Ono flies offscreen.] Now, hurry. This way! Don't push! [Thurston watches Ono leave. He looks from side to side, then keeps grazing. Ono flies back and lands in front of Thurston.] Oh, come on. Perhaps I've failed to emphasize the importance of following me.
Thurston 	We're eating here. Can't you see that?
 	Ono spreads his wings indignantly.
Ono 	I can see. But what you can't see is that the hyenas are coming!
 	Ono stamps emphatically.
Thurston 	Hyenas? You guys chased them out of the Pride Lands yesterday!
Ono 	That's what we thought! [Ono gestures wildly.] Except when we were chasing them, I got sand in my eye. It made it hard to fly. I still tried, but I accidentally dive-bombed my friends, and they... [Ono pauses. The camera zooms in on his face.] They all had to run. Be right back. [Ono flies away. Thurston continues grazing. After a moment, Ono dives back toward the zebra herd.] *yells* [Ono dives down and then up behind the zebra herd.] Move it!
 	The zebras lift their heads in panic.
Zebras 	*bray*
 	The zebras flee.
Thurston 	Panic and run! [Ono flies by overhead.] Panic and run!
 	The scene transitions to the base of the cliffs. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu reach the bottom.
Cheezi 	Outta the way! Outta the way!
Chungu 	*cackles*
 	Janja pauses and stares at Chakula Plains with his mouth hanging open.
Chungu 	*gasps* Hey. [The zebras run away across Chakula Plains.] Where's lunch going?
Janja 	[with resolve] Nowhere. *growls* Come on, boys. After them!
 	The hyenas bound after the zebras. Meanwhile, Ono flies alongside Thurston's herd.
Ono 	*laughs* I knew I could get you to move.
 	The scene transitions. Bunga peers through the pile of rocks in the ravine.
Bunga 	Wow. [Bunga wags his tail.] Oh!
 	The camera zooms out to reveal the rest of the Lion Guard behind him.
Beshte 	See anything, Little B?
Bunga 	Yeah.
Fuli 	[excitedly] Really? Did Ono get the zebra to move?
Bunga 	Oh, I don't know. All I see are rocks.
 	Fuli rolls her eyes.
Fuli 	*groans*
Kion 	Don't worry. I'm sure Ono can do it.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Kion! [Ono flies toward the ravine.] Kion! *pants* The zebra are on the move! [Ono hovers over the Lion Guard.] You're all clear to roar!
Kion 	Thanks, Ono. [Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono gather behind Kion.] Everyone, get behind me. *roars*
 	Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu pause in front of the blocked ravine. They look behind them worriedly.
Chungu 	Uh-oh.
 	The rocks blast into the hyenas.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	*scream*
 	The Roar of the Elders clears the ravine of rocks. Dust billows across Chakula Plains while the zebra herd grazes peacefully. The dust disappates right before hitting them. The hyenas land on the ground.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	*grunt*
 	Janja sits up, dazed, and a small rock falls on his head.
Kion 	[from offscreen] How's the plan working now, Janja?
 	The Lion Guard races toward the hyenas.
Janja 	I got plenty of plans, Kion. [The camera zooms out to reveal Cheezi and Chungu standing expectantly behind Janja.] New plan, fellas. Run!
 	Janja runs away. Cheezi and Chungu pelt after him.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*yelp*
 	The Lion Guard pauses, smiling, and watches as the hyenas flee.
Bunga 	*laughs*
 	Janja pauses on a nearby hill, while Cheezi and Chungu run offscreen.
Janja 	You haven't seen the last of me!
 	Janja runs offscreen. Kion beams up at Ono, who is hovering nearby.
Kion 	Good job, Ono. We couldn't have done it without you.
Ono 	Just glad to be back on the team.
Kion 	You were always on the team, Ono.
 	Ono smiles. The scene transitions to the Lair of the Lion Guard, where Rafiki is painting.
Rafiki 	Yes, yes, yes. Now, it is right. The leader of the Lion Guard [The camera zooms on Rafiki's painting of the Lion Guard, which shows their heads painted in a row.] and his friends.
 	The Lion Guard has gathered in a ring around the painting. Ono no longer has an eye patch.
Kion 	It's perfect, Rafiki. What do you think, Ono?
Ono 	I think it's the best painting I've even seen.
Rafiki 	That means a great deal to me, coming from the keenest of sight.
 	Ono smiles, elated. Rafiki turns and taps the painting with his staff. The painting lights up, and the Lion Guard heads rearrange themselves to be in a cluster.
The Lion Guard 	*exclaim*
Beshte 	Poa!
Fuli 	Nice.
 	The camera zooms on the painting of the Lion Guard.
Rafiki 	[from offscreen] This Lion Guard is best together.
 	The credits roll.
