==Transcript ==
On a calm day, the Lion Guard, along with Mhina, Kingiza, and the Night Pride were resting outside the Tree of Life.
“It's great to be able to relax now that we're at the Tree of Life,” Beshte commented.
Fuli nodded in agreement as she stretched out in a patch of grass.
“You're right, Beshte. It's really calm and peaceful here,” Fuli replied.
“There's so many bugs to eat here,” Bunga commented.
“There's a lot to see here as well,” Anga said.
“Affirmative.” Ono replied.
Suddenly, Kion and Nirmala approached.
“I'm glad you guys get to relax,” Kion said.
Bunga's eyes widened with confusion.
“Why do you have mud on your face?” Bunga asked.
“It's the next healing exercise,” Kion explained.
“You can wash it off now, Kion,” Nirmala said.
Immediately, Kion rushed over to a pond, and dunked his head into the water, brushing the mud off of his face with a paw.
“That's better,” Kion said, as he surfaced.
He moved to settle down beside Mhina.
“How's the healing going?” Mhina asked.
“Nirmala gave me some tuliza earlier to help the pain in my scar,” Kion replied.
“There's still a long way to go until his healing is completed,” Nirmala said.
Suddenly, Ullu flew up and landed beside Jivin.
“Do you have the morning report?” Jivin asked.
“All is clear outside the pass. There's no signs of trouble,” Ullu reported.
“Thank you, Ullu. You may get some rest now,” Jivin replied.
Ullu nodded, spreading her wings and flying off.
“It's peaceful now, but that doesn't mean Reth's Pride isn't waiting to launch an attack,” Rani said.
“Don't worry, Rani. Everything's going to be fine,” Maya said.
“The Lion Guard will help defend the Tree of Life, and drive Reth and his pride away. It's the least we can do, since we're the ones that led them here,” Kion said.
“It's not your fault that they followed us, Kion.” Mhina said,
“No, it's not. But the lions still have to be driven away, the safety of everyone at the Tree is at risk,” Rani said firmly.
“We'll keep everyone here safe, Rani. I promise,” Kion replied.
Meanwhile, inside the tree, Janna was settled down on the pedestal. Kenene, Umhlaba, Nguruma, and Makini were settled down around her. 
“What are we doing today, Kenene?” Makini asked.
“Janna and I are going to tell you about Askari,” Kenene replied.
“Really?” Makini asked enthusiastically.
Kenene nodded.
“Come over here. I want to show you something,” Kenene said.
She led Makini and Umhlaba towards a cave painting, which depicted Askari on top of an escarpment with clouds above him.
Kenene tapped the painting with her staff, and the painting came to life, with roaring lions appearing in the clouds as Askari roared loudly at a boulder, causing it to smash apart.
“Woah. That's incredible,” Makini breathed.
Beside her, Umhlaba nodded in agreement.
“It really is spectacular,” Umhlaba said.
Janna glanced at Nguruma, gently stroking his spine with her tail.
“Kenene is showing a cave painting of Askari practicing the Roar at Cikha Escarpment. The painting is showing Askari roaring at a boulder,” Janna explained.
“That does sound incredible,” Nguruma replied.
“Can you hear me, Nguruma?” Kenene asked.
Nguruma nodded.
“Long ago, after he formed the Lion Guard, Askari traveled to Cikha Escarpment, not far from here, and discovered the power of the Roar of the Elders. For many days afterwards, he would venture to Cikha Escarpment in order to practice the Roar and learn everything it could do. Eventually, he became skilled enough to master the Roar completely,” Kenene said.
“He sounds really legendary,” Makini commented.
“Yes, he certainly is,” Kenene replied.
Nguruma shifted closer to Janna, nestling against her pelt.
“Did Askari have any siblings?” Nguruma asked.
“Indeed. He had a brother, Simama,” Janna replied.
“Do you think they were as close as Kion and I are?” Nguruma asked.
“I believe they were, my dear,” Janna answered.
Makini was embracing Kenene tightly, her eyes shining with enthusiasm and excitement.
“I'm so glad I have the opportunity to learn from you. I can't wait to discover more of what you have to teach me,” Makini said.
Kenene's expression softened as she returned Makini's embrace.
“I'm honored that I get to help Uncle Rafiki with your training while you're here,” Kenene replied.
Meanwhile, Makucha's Leap and Ora's Bank had assembled outside the Mountain Pass.
“Are you sure this is worth it?” Chuluun asked.
“Trust me, my love. Soon, all those rare animals will be ours for the taking,” Makucha answered.
“How can we be so sure this plan will succeed?“ Jiona asked.
“Because the Lion Guard can't possibly have any chance of defeating us when we're united,” Makucha replied.
Suddenly, a binturong approached them.
“Who are you?” Makucha asked skeptically.
“My name is Mama Binturong, and I've been watching you. Your techniques are too flawed to be able to launch a large attack. You need a better strategy,” Mama Binturong said.
“What do you expect us to do about it?” Makucha asked.
Mama Binturong chuckled.
“I'm taking over this army. I'll show you how a real attack is launched,” Mama Binturong replied.
Makucha and Chuluun exchanged a stunned glance.
