==Transcript==
----
In the Pride Lands, the atmosphere was calm and quiet, the Pride Landers going about their daily tasks without fuss. 
“Just wait until I tell you about what Uncle Pumbaa did yesterday! It's literally the funniest thing ever!” Bunga exclaimed enthusiastically.
He leapt up, grasping a vine with his paws and swinging into the pond with a loud splash.
The rest of the Guard, who had been summoned to the Lair at sunrise, jumped back as water splashed everywhere. Fuli growled irritatedly as she was drenched.
“Seriously, Bunga?” she questioned, a scowl crossing her face as her repulsion of water resurfaced.
“Whoops, my bad. Sorry Fuli. But anyways, you guys have got to hear this. So, we're all at the watering hole yesterday, and there's a huge crowd of Pride Landers. It's me, Uncle Timon, and Uncle Pumbaa, just minding our own business. Out of nowhere, Uncle Pumbaa sees a water grub, just hovering above the water,” Bunga began.
“Poa! Little B, what happened next?” Beshte asked.
“Well, you all know Uncle Pumbaa, when he sees a grub he wants, he goes for it. So, he dove into the water, but his tusks were still sticking up. All of the other Pride Landers immediately flipped out, and everyone fled, the zebras all panicked and ran, shouting about a crocodile in the water, when it was just Uncle Pumbaa. Of course, me and Uncle Timon laughed our heads off, and we couldn't tell Uncle Pumbaa what happened because we were laughing so hard,” Bunga said, bursting into laughter as he recalled the hilarity of the situation.
Kion raised his head, from where he was slumped over on the ledge above the pond.
“Wow, Bunga. That is a funny story. It sounds like you three really enjoyed yourselves,” Kion said.
Beshte nodded.
“Yeah, I wish I'd been there to see it. It sounds like one of those stories where you had to be there to understand it,” he said.
From their nest overlooking the pond, Anga and Ono huddled closer together, exhaustion clouding their gazes.
“What type of water grub was it?” Ono asked curiously. Anga leaned against him, her eyes closed.
“I dunno. But it was pretty cool,” Bunga said.
Just then, Kiara appeared at the entrance to the Lair, her pelt ruffled and her eyes clouded with fatigue.
Kion's eyes narrowed in confusion and concern as he took in his older sister's exhausted state.
“You okay, Kiara?” he asked.
“Daddy needs to see all of you on the peak, right now,” Kiara said quickly, ignoring Kion's question. 
“Okay…” Kion said slowly, confusion replacing the look of exhaustion in his eyes. 
He and the Guard followed Kiara out of the Lair, and they headed up to the peak, Kion walking close beside his sister, sending her a look of confusion and concern.
When they arrived at the peak, they saw Simba, Nala, Kovu, Rafiki, and Makini gathered. 
“Dad? What's going on? Why are you all up so early? It's barely sunrise,” Kion asked.
“I wanted to tell you all about something that will be taking place today,” Simba explained.
“What's happening?” Kion asked.
“It's taking place in Mizimu Grove. There will be lots of attendees, and it's important for you and the Guard to be there too, son,” Simba said.
“You'll hear all about it when we get to the grove,” Nala added.
As Simba began to lead them towards Mizimu Grove, Kion exchanged a glance with Kiara, who was walking beside Kovu. 
“Do you two know what's going on?” he asked. 
“Daddy only told me to wake you and the Guard up. He didn't say anything else,” Kiara replied.
“Technically Bunga's the one that woke us up before dawn,” Kion commented.
“I'm sure Simba will explain whatever's going on once we get to the grove,” Kovu said.
“Ooh! Maybe it's a party!” Bunga said excitedly from behind them.
Beside him, Fuli rolled her eyes exasperatedly.
“Why would Simba throw a party at the crack of dawn?” she asked.
“Beats me. What do you think is going on, Big B?” Bunga asked, turning to the hippo beside him
“I don't know, but it's probably something exciting for us all to be up this early,” Beshte responded.
“Perhaps the king wants us to be present to witness something important,” Ono suggested.
“Like what? It's too early for the baobab blossoms to be blooming,” Anga pointed out.
“It could be something else that requires us to be there to see it,” Ono replied.
In front of them, Makini turned excitedly to Rafiki as they walked close beside each other.
“What's happening, Uncle Rafiki? Can you tell me?” she asked eagerly.
“I cannot tell you, little one. You will find out soon enough,” Rafiki responded, reaching over to ruffle Makini's mane affectionately.
At the front of the procession, Simba and Nala were walking close together, their pelts brushing.
“I believe this will be a very interesting summit, my love,” Simba commented, speaking low enough so the others behind them couldn't hear.
“It will, and it'll be nice to see everyone. I'm sure Kion will be happy to see Mhina again,” Nala replied.
“Yes, they will be very happy to see each other,” Simba replied.
By this point, the procession had finally arrived at Mizimu Grove.
Kion glanced around him in confusion; the grove was still and peaceful, the baobob bulbs swinging lightly in the breeze. 
“What's going on, Dad? What are we doing here?” he asked.
“I've gathered you here because I intend to host a summit for the allied kingdoms. Everyone is on their way here right now!” Simba began, a noticeable amount of excitement in his tone.
“Everyone?” Kion asked.
“Yes, my boy. I've asked them here so we can discuss the onset of the dry season,” Simba explained.
Rafiki stepped forward to stand beside him.  
“Indeed. As the dry season will affect many of the kingdoms, maintaining the bonds we've formed with them will balance the Circle of Life and benefit us all,” he said.
“Maintaining the alliances we've formed with them is very important, especially after the battle with Scar and his forces. We must keep those bonds strong,” Simba added.
Suddenly, Zazu flew up to them, landing beside Simba.
“News, Zazu?” Simba asked.
“Yes, sire. I've seen the first kingdom delegations arriving from the border. They are approaching the grove as we speak,” he said.
“Which kingdoms are they?” Kion asked.
“The Back Lands, the Tree of Life, and Leopon Plains,” Zazu responded. 
At the mention of Leopon Plains, Kion felt a strong emotion swell in his chest, breaking into a smile at the thought of seeing Mhina.
“Thank you, Zazu. Keep watch for the other kingdoms please,” Simba instructed.
At this point, the Nyuma Pride came into the grove, followed closely by Dhahabu's Herd.
Simba and Nala came over to greet them, meeting Chifu and Wimbo in the center of the grove.
“Nala and I are so pleased you could come to the summit today. We hope you enjoy your time in the Pride Lands,” Simba said.
“Thank you, Simba. Wimbo and I are pleased to have been invited to attend the summit,” Chifu replied.
Kion and his friends approached Mshale and his Lion Guard, Ganda was standing beside his brother.
“It's great to see you all again,” Kion said brightly.
“It's good to see you too,” Mshale replied.
Beside him, Okereke scowled, staring at nothing blankly, though his green eyes flickered with longing to be anywhere but here.
“Uhh...hey, Kion. Lovely to see you here,” Ganda whispered, nervously shuffling his paws.
“Is something wrong, Ganda? You're tensed up,” Kion observed, tilting his head worriedly.
“Being royal is a beast,” Ganda whispered back before trotting away and joining his parents, sitting with brooding uncertainty.
Having finished their discussion with Chifu and Wimbo, Simba and Nala moved to greet Dhahabu, Suhuba, and Starehe.
“We're pleased to have you all here as well, Dhahabu,” Simba said.
“Thank you, your majesty! My family and I are thrilled to be welcomed to frolic and romp with you!" Dhahabu said brightly.
Suddenly, Pembetatu, Zazu's new, young apprentice, flew into the grove, stopping beside Simba, her wings flapping excitedly.
“I have news, your majesty!” she shouted breathlessly.
Simba chuckled as he noticed the extreme excitement of the blue hornbill. 
“What is it, Pembetatu?” he asked.
“The Night Pride is coming! They're on their way here right now!” Pembetatu exclaimed.
“Well done, Pembetatu. Thank you,” Simba said.
At that moment, the Night Pride came into the grove, Jivin and Maya in the lead.
Simba and Nala came forward to greet the two Asiatic lions, meeting them by the rock ledge.
“We're glad to have you here in the Pride Lands today. I'm sure you will enjoy this summit very much,” Simba said.
“Yes, I'm sure we will. Maya and I are grateful to have been invited back to the Pride Lands under more pleasant circumstances. We hope to have a productive time today,” Jivin answered.
Maya approached Nala, a look of friendliness and warmth in her eyes.
“It's great to see you again, Nala,” she said warmly.
“I'm glad to see you too,” Nala replied.
Kion came over to greet Rani and Kingiza, who were standing as close together as possible, their tails tightly entwined.
“Hey, you two. How's life at the Tree nowadays?” he asked.
“Everything's been pretty peaceful. All of the animals are safe and content,” Rani replied.
“That's a relief, especially after all that trouble with Mama and Reth,” Kion replied. 
“Yes. Also, Grandmother and Uncle Surak said to tell you to forward their greetings to Nguruma.” Rani said.
“I'll be sure to tell him. He talks about the stories they told him a lot,” Kion replied.
Suddenly, the Tumaini Pride bounded into the grove. Kion's dark teal eyes instantly latched onto Mhina, who walked with his chin held high, his blue eyes shining with the daylight of the dry season reflected in them. Supressing a blush on his cheeks, Kion trotted up to him, dipping his head in a silent, love-filled greeting. Mhina promptly returned it.
“G'day, mate. Been a while, hasn't it?” Mhina questioned.
“Yeah. It has been. How are you, Mhina?” Kion inquired in tandem.
“Peachy,” the leopon responded.
Rani and Kingiza watched them, rolling their eyes before concentrating on each other and sharing a quick, blissful kiss, snared in the vines that tangled them in Upendi.
Kicheko approached his brother and Kion, taking notice of the emotion between them.
“Hi, Kion,” he said brightly.
“Hey, Kicheko, how's it going?” Kion replied.
“I'm doing alright. I'm here as Grandpa and Granny's heir,” Kicheko answered.
Simba and Nala came up to Ajani and Ayo, who were standing beside a large baobab tree.
“We're so glad you and your family could come to the summit today,” Simba said warmly, inclining his head towards Ajani.
“Thank you for inviting us. We've been looking forward for the chance to come back to your kingdom,” Ajani commented.
His and Simba's gazes were drawn across the grove, to where Kion and Mhina were chatting excitedly with the rest of the Guard, pressed close against each other.
“It looks like nothing has changed between the two of them,” Ajani commented.
“Yes, their time together at the Tree of Life has brought them closer then ever,” Simba replied.
Zazu flew up to them, landing on a rock beside Simba. 
“What is it, Zazu?” Simba asked.
“Your majesty, the arrival of the Mwanga Pride is imminent. They are coming this way!” Zazu announced.
No sooner had the words left his beak then the Mwanga Pride, headed by Mzazi and Hewa came into the grove.
“Excuse me, Ajani,” Simba said politely.
Ajani nodded.
“Of course,” he said.
Simba and Nala approached Mzazi and Hewa.
“It's a great honor to have you here to take part in the summit. I'm so glad you could make it,” Simba said.
“We hope you had a safe journey to get here,” Nala added.
“Yes, we did. Hewa and I are so pleased to be welcomed here today,” Mzazi replied.
Mhina and Kicheko came over to them, inclining their heads politely towards Mzazi and Hewa.
“It's so nice to see you two today,” Hewa said warmly, stepping forward to nuzzle them.
“We're glad to see you too, Grandmother,” Mhina said respectfully.
Just then, Sokwe's Troop came into the grove, heading towards Simba and Nala.
“Simba! Nala! What a joy it is to see you two today. We're so pleased to be here,” Sokwe said.
“The pleasure is all ours, Sokwe,” Simba responded.
“Is everything well in the Theluji Mountains?” Nala asked.
“Yes, everything is very well,” Sokwe responded.
At that moment, the Moshi Pride bounded into the grove. Simba and Nala came over to greet Pwani and Ilanga, Mhina and Kicheko coming over to them as well.
“We're so happy you could make it,” Simba said, a note of warmth in his tone.
“Ilanga and I are so glad to be here,” Pwani responded.
“I trust you had a safe journey?” Nala asked.
“Yes, we did,” Ilanga replied.
Mhina and Kicheko came up to them, nuzzling their grandparents affectionately.
“Hello, you two. It's nice to see you here,” Pwani said warmly.
“It's nice to see you too, Grandpa.” Mhina replied.
Simba's expression softened as he watched Ilanga press her muzzle against Kicheko's cheek.
“You two must be very proud to have Kicheko as your heir,” he commented.
“Yes, all of our grandchildren make us very proud indeed,” Ilanga remarked.
Having greeted his grandmother, Mhina's eyes strayed towards where Kion was talking to Ajani and Ayo.
“Go on, Mhina. It's okay,” Pwani encouraged, noticing the expression on his grandson's face. 
Mhina nodded, heading towards his parents and Kion, bumping the lion's shoulder affectionately when he reached them.
Kicheko settled down beside Pwani and Ilanga.
“Do you want to join your brother?” Pwani asked.
“No, I think I need to stick with you two,” Kicheko responded.
“All right, my darling,” Ilanga said.
Just then, Pembetatu burst into the grove at top speed, coming to a clumsy halt beside Simba, barely avoiding crashing into him.
“What is it, Pembetatu?” Simba asked amusedly.
“The Ukweli Pride is here, sire!” Pembetatu burst out exuberantly.
“Excellent, that should be everyone. Thank you, Pembetatu,” Simba responded.
Kabila and Tiifu came into the grove. Kabila made her way towards Simba and Nala, while Tiifu headed towards Kovu and Kiara.
"Greetings, Prince Kovu, Princess Kiara. It's a pleasure to speak to you," she said.
“It's nice to see you too, Tiifu. How's Zuri doing?” Kiara asked.
“Zuri is well. Thank you for asking. How are your four cubs?” Tiifu remarked politely, dipping her head in a show of tight respect.
“They're all doing good. Our oldest recently was married to a lion in the pride. His name is Koti,” Kovu responded.
“Jasmin's started training for her first hunt,” Kiara added.
“That is delightful. Please give your children my word,” Tiifu encouraged.
Kabila had approached Simba and Nala.
“It's nice to have you here to attend the summit, Kabila,” Simba said.
“We're pleased you and Tiifu could both attend,” Nala said.
“King Simba. Queen Nala. Thank you for inviting us to this summit. May we commune and share what is needed to thrive,” Kabila greeted, her head held very high, and she walked up to her daughter. “Come, Tiifu.”
Simba made his way over to the rock ledge, climbing onto it and surveying the gathered animals.
“Everyone! Nala and I are so pleased to welcome you all here today for the summit! We hope-” Before he could continue, Zazu flew into the grove, looking quite agitated over some matter. He flew over to Simba, landing beside him. 
“Your majesty! There is a herd of impalas coming towards the grove!” he announced.
Nala climbed up to stand beside Simba on the ledge, the two of them exchanging a confused glance. 
“Who are they, Zazu?” she asked. 
“I'm afraid I do not recognize them. They do not appear to be Pride Landers,” Zazu replied.
As the words left his beak, a small herd of impalas came into the grove.
The impalas trotted up to Simba and Nala, bowing before them respectfully. The summit attendees glanced at each other, questioning what on earth was happening. Who were these impalas? Why had they come unintended?
“Your majesty! My name is Kuro! I am the king of the impalas of the Dusty Plain. We apologize for intruding, but my herd and I have traveled far to see this kingdom,” Kuro announced. 
“How did you know all of us would be in the grove?” Pwani asked.
Beside him, Mzazi stared curiously at the newcomer.
“How did you hear about the summit?” he asked.
“We overheard the animals of this kingdom discussing it on our way here,” Kuro explained.
“I've called this summit for the neighboring kingdoms in order to discuss the incoming dry season. You and your herd are welcome to participate as well,” Simba explained.
“Thank you for the invitation, your majesty. The Dusty Plain is a very small kingdom and I am grateful for any alliances I can form during this time. I would like to form lasting friendships with you all,” Kuro responded.
“What is your kingdom like?” Chifu asked.
“It is a very quiet kingdom. We don't have much rain, so it's mostly dried up, as are many of the watering holes. It also isn't a hugely populated kingdom, which helps ensure it is safe from predators,” Kanga explained.
A young impala broke from the herd, coming over to Mhina.
“Hi, I'm Okala, the heir of the impalas,” he greeted.
“I'm Mhina, I'm the heir of Leopon Plains,” Mhina replied.
“Leopon Plains? That is a very unique name. What is your kingdom like?” Okala asked.
“Mate, Leopon Plains is the place to be. We have everything, deserts, marshes, open grassland, forests, you name it! It has every species you could name, every plant, bloody oath! Though, if you want to find something corker...the birthplace of the leopon species is in my homeland too,” Mhina beamed.
“That sounds very interesting! Perhaps I can journey to your homeland someday,” Okala said.
Just then, Kion, Rani, and Kingiza, who had been talking together nearby, came over.
“Hi, I'm Rani, I'm the heir of the Tree of Life,” Rani greeted politely.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Okala. I'd like to hear more about the Tree of Life,” Okala replied.
“It's a very beautiful and mystic place. It's home to all sorts of habitats, and the animals live in peace and harmony,” Rani explained.
Mhina moved to stand beside Kingiza, giving his shoulder a friendly nudge.
“How's married life treating you guys?” he asked.
Kingiza chuckled awkwardly, shifting his paws nervously, startled by Mhina's abrupt question.
“Not gonna lie, being married to Rani is the best thing ever, I feel so complete when I'm with her. It's amazing to be by her side. Jivin's started teaching me about royal stuff, so that's intimidating, but it's still cool. Mom and Dad moved the pride to the Tree a couple sunrises ago, I've loved showing my siblings around,” Kingiza replied.
From the rock ledge, Simba cleared his throat loudly, surveying the gathered animals.
“Everyone! I have called this summit to discuss the imminent arrival of the dry season and how it will affect each of us,” he announced.
“This is a very serious matter. We must all help each other through this hardship,” Chifu commented.
“Yes! And I know just how I can help! I'd like to offer use of the watering hole in Dhahabu Grove in case any kingdom should suffer a drought during this season. All shall have free access to the watering hole at any time,” Dhahabu said brightly.
“Thank you, Dhahabu. The alliances between us will help keep each kingdom strong. Together, we will overcome the dry season, just as we triumphed in the battle against Scar and his army!” Simba said loudly.
“Simba is right! If we all stand united, we can face the dry season head-on!” Ajani chimed in.
“Pardon me, but who is this Scar you speak of?” Kuro asked.
“Scar was my uncle, my father's younger brother. Not long ago, he returned as a fiery spirit, summoned in a volcano in the Outlands. My son and his Lion Guard, as well as our allies gathered here have fought in several clashes against him and his army, until he was finally defeated in one final battle,” Simba explained.
“A lion appearing in fire? That's impossible!” Okala exclaimed disbelievingly.
“Trust me, it's true. I saw him with my own eyes,” Ono responded.
“Once we were all aware of Scar's return, we allied with the Pride Landers and fought side by side to defeat him,” Sokwe explained.
“Animals of the summit, I bring forth an important issue. In the dry season, temperatures rise, and with this extreme heat comes Hali ya Hewa's anger...she sends us dry lightning. And what shall we do if her lightning sparks fires in our territories?” Kabila queried, her powerful voice echoing around the baobab trees.
From her place beside her, Tiifu dipped her head. “Mother brings up an excellent point. The South Lands, as remote as it is, is open grassland, leaving it the perfect place for Hali ya Hewa to unleash her fury. And I would assume this precedent weighs just as much significance in your lands?”
“Yes, that is a good point. Dry lighting can be very hazardous. Should any kingdom near the Back Lands need shelter, Mirihi Forest will be open to refugees,” Chifu announced. 
“I am also aware of the dangers of lightning, for many moons now my kingdom had been plagued by a terrible drought, which dried up the very little water in the watering holes. We have begun to recover, but it is a slow process. I would appreciate any help that could be given,” Kuro said.
Ajani stepped forward.
“Your plight is sympathetic. I shall like to offer any assistance I'm able to provide, whether it be the use of any watering holes in Leopon Plains or protection from predators that might attack,” Ajani proclaimed.
Kuro inclined his head respectfully.
“Thank you, your majesty. On behalf of my herd, I gratefully accept your offer,” he said politely.
“We are very pleased to be welcome among you all,” Kanga added.
Simba and Nala exchanged a glance, leaping down from the ledge to join the others.
“I suppose the summit has concluded. My queen and I are pleased to have had the privilege to host you all today. We hope this leads to many more gatherings in the future, especially with our new friends, the impalas of the Dusty Plain!” Simba said
Kion and Mhina approached each other, each giving a warm smile, the sunlight flickering in their eyes.
“Bye, Mhina. See you on Guard duty soon!” Kion quipped.
"Bye, mate!" Mhina exclaimed, turning around and trotting beside his mother, father, and brother as they left Mizimu Grove.
Kion watched as Mhina bounded off, his heart resolved to face the incoming threat.
The rest of the Guard came to stand at his side, their eyes blazing with confidence at the prospect of tackling the dry season. 
“Lion Guard! It's our job to protect the Pride Lands. And with the dry season's dangers being more imminent than ever, that job just got a lot harder. It's gonna be a tough fight... but we will prevail.”
