Journey to the Pride Lands/Transcript

[Kion speaks with his grandfather Mufasa early in the morning]
Mufasa: 
It is a difficult decision.
Kion: 
[Kion walks back and forth] It is. I have a duty to the Pride Lands. My whole family is there. But I still have more to learn about the Roar. And the Night Pride could use our help. And Rani - I mean, Queen Rani, she wants me to stay.
Mufasa: 
And what do you want to do?
Kion: 
What do I want?
Mufasa: 
Yes, Kion. The decision is yours to make. You must choose the path that is right for you.
Kion: 
The path that's right for me. Thank you, Grandfather. [Mufasa's spirit disappears]
Rani: 
[Rani walks up to Kion] Kion?
Kion: 
Rani. Uh, hi.
Rani: 
Have you thought about what I said?
Kion: 
You mean about never being welcome at the Tree of Life?
Rani: 
(Laughs) That was a while ago. Funny how things can change once you get to know someone.
Kion: 
Yeah, it's true.
Rani: 
We really do make a good team, Kion.
Kion: 
I know. The Lion Guard and the Night Pride work really well together.
Rani: 
(Chuckles) Well, yeah. (whispering silently while looking at Kion)
But I also mean you and me.
Kion: 
Yeah, we do.
[Muisc starts]
Rani: 
[Rani touches and messes up Kion's main] ♪ How are we so different and still so much the same?
Kion: 
[Kion smiles at Rani] ♪ Why do I start smilin' when I hear your name?
[Rani and Kion look at their reflections]
Rani: 
♪ At times I think you could be a reflection of me
Kion: 
♪ Still there's something deeper
[Rani and Kion look at each other]
Kion: And Rani:
♪ More than what we see
[Rani and Kion frolic through the flowers]
♪ There's a feeling of belonging that's deep down inside
[Rani and Kion stand in snow]
♪ A feeling that's been growing, now we just can't hide
[Rani and Kion walk past Ciso River and Kion touches the water]
♪ It's a feeling somehow knowing there's nothing to decide
[Rani pushes Kion's head in the water and Kion pushes Rani in the water with him]
♪ 'Cause when I'm with you it's clear, we're of the same pride
[Rani and Kion look at Makini's paintings inside the Tree of Life]
Kion: 
♪ Seems like I have grown up so much since I met you
Rani: 
♪ Like it's been forever, but everyday is new
[Rani and Kion walk outside the Tree of Life]
Kion: 
♪ We had some great adventures
Rani: 
♪ We also had some fun
Kion: 
[Kion looks at the Tree of Life] ♪ Shame to think it's ending
Rani: 
[Rani comes next to Kion] ♪ Or has it just begun?
[Rani and Kion walk past Dirisha]
Kion: And Rani: 
♪ There's a feeling of belonging that's deep down inside
[Rani and Kion hop on two logs]
♪ A feeling that's been growing, now we just can't hide
♪ It's a feeling somehow knowing there's nothing to decide
[Kion hops on Rani's log]
♪ 'Cause when I'm with you it's clear, we're of the same pride

Rani: 
♪ You have the energy and drive to take command
Kion: 
[Kion lifts up a log that Astuto's Kit is under] ♪ You have the patience I always wish I had
[Rani and Kion sit on a mountain and look at Rani's land]
Rani: 
♪ Working together I finally understand. Having you here by my side will help me rule this land
[Rani and Kion frolic in the grass]
Kion: And Rani:

Kion: And Rani: 
♪ We're of the same pride ♪ [Rani and Kion hug]
[Music ends and the scene cuts to the Tree of Life]
Rani: 
Being queen has been more work than I expected. I really could use your help keeping the Tree of Life at peace.
Kion: 
If I've learned anything about you, Rani, it's that you don't need my help. You don't need anyone's help. You're a great leader, Rani.
Rani: 
Thank you, Kion. I want to be a great queen someday, too. And a great queen could use a great king, like you. (Looking shyly at him then away)
Kion: 
King?
[The rest of the Lion Guard and Makini shows up]
Bunga: 
Kion! Hey, Kion.
Kion: 
Uh, hey, Bunga. What's going on?
Bunga: 
That's what we've been wondering.
Ono: 
You are all healed now.
Beshte: 
And the bad guys are gone.
Fuli:
Time to go home?
Rani:
I've told Kion you're all welcome to stay at the Tree of Life, that I'd like you to stay.
Fuli: 
Stay? Kion, are you seriously thinking about staying here and not going back to the Pride Lands?
Kion: 
Well, there's peace in the Pride Lands. The Night Pride could use our help. And Rani has become a good friend.
Bunga: 
So has Binga.
Beshte: 
I've made lots of friends here too.
Ono: 
It is tempting to stay. The Tree of Life has so much to see.
Anga: 
Yep.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) I don't know.
Ullu:
[Ullu shows up] (Hoots) Queen Rani, Lion Guard. I've spotted a cheetah, making his way up the pass.
Fuli: 
A cheetah?
Azzad:
[Off-screen] Mibinamet!
Fuli and Rani:
Azaad! (Looking surprised at each other) Wha-?
Azzad:
[Azaad shows up] Fuli, Queen Rani.
Rani: 
Azaad
Fuli:
You two know each other?
Rani:
Azaad's been to the Tree of Life before.
Azzad:
Yes. Queen Janna herself healed Azaad after an unexpected fall. She will be missed.
Rani: 
Thank you, Azaad. So what brings you here now? Another unexpected fall?
Azzad:
(Laughs) No, no. Two travelers asked for directions, and Azaad has shown them here, swift as a cheetah. It seems they couldn't keep up.
[Jasiri and Janja show up]
Jasiri: 
Azaad!
Janja: 
(Coughs) Wait for us!
Kion: 
Jasiri?
Bunga: 
Janja? I'll stop him. Zuka Zama! (Pounces Janja)
Janja: 
(Grunts) Oh, Bunga, get off of me. I'm on your side now.
Bunga:
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Kion:
Jasiri? Janja? What you doing here?
Jasiri: 
It's Zira. She and her pride of evil lions are back.
Kion: 
What?
Fuli: 
Zira?
Beshte:
Oh, no.
Anga: 
Zira?
Ono: 
She's the leader of some very bad lions.
Kion:
My dad banished them for betraying the Pride Lands.
Bunga: 
But you roared those lions all the way out of the Outlands.
Jasiri: 
Yes, but they're back now. And now Zira's son, Kovu, and daughter, Vitani, are fully grown.
Janja:
Hate to admit it, but us hyenas don't stand a chance against those lions.
Azzad:
The hyenas told me all of this. It is why I brought them here as fast as I could, and faster than they could.
Fuli:
[Fuli turns to Kion] Kion?
Kion: 
It's up to the Lion Guard to stop Zira and her pride. [Kion turns to Rani] As long as we have the Mark of the Guard we have a duty to defend the Pride Lands.
Rani: 
I know. You can't stay here, if the Pride Lands are in danger.
Kion: 
Yes. And we have to go now.
Makini:
Kion, I think I have to stay. I'm Queen Rani's Royal Mjuzi now. This is my place in the Circle of Life.
Kion: 
I understand. I'm sure you'll be a great Royal Mjuzi, Makini.
Makini: 
Thanks, Kion.
Beshte: 
[Beshte hugs Makini] Bye, Makini.
Fuli: 
We'll miss you.
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Anga: 
Yep.
Makini: 
Say "hi" to all the Pride Landers for me?
Bunga: 
We will.
Rani: 
So, Lion Guard, this is goodbye. Thank you, for helping me defend the Tree of Life. I consider each of you a member of my Pride. [Rani puts her paw on all the members of the Lion Guard] Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, Anga. Kion, I know you need to protect the Pride Lands, but I meant what I said before.
Kion: 
I know.
Rani:
You, and your friends, will always be welcome at the Tree of Life.
Kion:
Thank you, Queen Rani. Come on, Lion Guard, time to go. Til' the Pride Lands' end...
Lion Guard: 
Lion Guard defend!
[The Lion Guard, Azaad, Janja and Jasiri leave the Tree of Life and Makini waves]
Rani:
Maybe the roar will return again, someday.
[The scene cuts to the Mountain Pass and everyone runs out]
Kion: 
Thanks for coming to get us, Jasiri.
Jasiri: 
You saved my family and home more than once. Just returning the favor.
Azzad:
Fuli, I understand that you have friends, but having hyenas for friends?
Janja:
Woah! [Janja scratches himself] (Grunting)
Azzad::
That seems unlikely.
Fuli: 
It's a long story, but they've earned our trust.
Kion:
Ono? Still remember all of the moja kwa moja stones on Rafiki's map?
Ono: 
Indeed. [Ono's eyes flash and he looks at the map] The first landmark back to the Pride Lands is a giant lake.
Bunga: 
Ooh, I remember that.
Anga: 
Me too. [Anga's vision zooms in on the lake] Got it! The lake is this way.
Kion:
We'll need to move fast. It'll take us a long time to go around that lake.
Fuli: 
And even longer to get back to the Pride Lands.
Azzad:
It is a shame that you're friends are not cheetahs. We could go this way. It would be much faster.
Kion: 
Wait, you know a faster way to get to the Pride Lands?
Azaad:
But of course. I have travelled much, and know the fastest routes to all the Great Lands. Alas, I don't think you're hippo friend would fit on the path we'd need to take.
Beshte:
Kion, if you need to leave me behind I understand.
Kion: 
Before we decide anything, I want to take a look and see. Azaad, show us the way.
Azzad::
Follow me. [The scene cuts to a canyon] The fastest way is through this canyon.
Beshte: 
Oh! That is a narrow path.
Bunga: 
[Bunga looks at Beshte] Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna fit through there, Big B.
Fuli: 
Is this the only way, Azaad?
Azzad:
It is the fastest way. The way of the cheetah!
Beshte:
Not the way of the hippo. Sorry.
Janja: 
So, guess we go back and take the slower way?
Kion: 
No. If this is the fastest way, then this is the way we're going. Get behind me.
Janja: 
(Laughs) I know what that means!
[Everyone but Azaad gets behind Kion]
Azzad:
But you can not all fit. How...
Bunga: 
Just wait. It's Un-Bunga-liveable! [Bunga moves Azaad behind Kion]
Kion: 
(Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blast a hole in the canyon]
Bunga:
(Laughs) Gotta love the Roar.
Azzad:
Very well. The fast way it is.
[The scene cuts to a ravine]
Azaad:
We will need to cross this ravine.
Bunga:
(Chuckles) That's deep and wide. Deep and wide! (Echoes)
Azzad:: 
A cheetah could just leap across. But the nearest land bridge may take days to reach.
Kion: 
We need to get back to the Pride Lands as fast as we can. We just need to get across this ravine?
Azzad:: 
Yes. The path to the Pride Lands continues on the other side. But...
Kion: 
That's all I needed to hear.
Bunga: 
[Bunga jumps} Ooh, ooh! Me first! Me first!
Kion: 
(Laughs) Okay, Bunga, you first.
Jasiri: 
[Jasiri faces Janja] First?
Janja:
First for what?
Anga: 
You'll see.
Kion:
(Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to lift Bunga up and move him across the ravine]
Bunga: 
(Laughs) Yeah!
Kion:
(Roaring)
Bunga:
[Bunga lands] That's what I'm talking about!
Kion: 
[Kion turns to his friends] So, who's next?
Janja: 
Next? Whoa, no way I'm going across the ravine like that!
Beshte: 
Don't worry, Janja. Kion's learned lots of new ways to use the Roar.
Ono: 
Indeed it's perfectly safe.
Janja: 
Easy for you to say. You could fly.
Jasiri: 
Don't tell me you're scared.
Janja: 
What? Me? Scared? (Scoffs) No way!
Jasiri: 
Good. Go ahead Kion.
Kion: 
(Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to lift up Janja and Jasiri and move them acrros the ravine]
Janja: 
Wait, wait, wait! It's just that I don't wanna fly! 
[Jasiri and Janja land]
Bunga: 
See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
Jasiri: 
It was fun.
Janja:
Yeah. Better than all the other times Kion's roared at me.
Kion: 
(Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to move Beshte across the ravine]
Beshte: 
Poa! (Laughing) [Beshte lands]
Kion: 
Fuli? Azaad?
Azzad:
We can cross the ravine like cheetahs. Yes, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Yes.
Azzad:
Mibinamet.
[Fuli and Azaad jumps across the ravine]
Fuli: 
Huwezi!
Ono: 
So, Kion. how will you get across?
Kion: 
Like this. (Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and lifts himself up and across the ravine]
(Wind Blowing)
Bunga:
Un-Bunga-lievable!
Kion: 
Okay, Azaad. We're across. Now which way do we go?
Azzad:
This way. [Azaad and Fuli smile at each other]
Bunga: 
Fuli sure seems happy to see that Azaad guy again.
Beshte: 
It's like Kion and Queen Rani. They're really good friends, you know?
Kion: 
Yeah. Really good friends. [Kion looks back and thinks of Rani]
Azzad:
Here we turn and follow the river bed to its mouth.
Fuli: 
Is it far?
Anga:
Farther than I can see.
Azzad:
If you were all cheetahs, we could make it before the sun sets.
Kion: 
Oh, I think I can get us there way before sunset! First, we need to get this dead tree into the riverbed.
Beshte:
Okay! Twende Ki...
Kion: 
Don't worry, Beshte. I got it. (Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and moves a tree branch down to the ground]
Beshte: 
Poa. Guess you didn't need my help after all.
Bunga: 
Oh, yeah! Kion's new Roars make him a one-lion lion guard.
Kion: 
Guess they kind of do. Okay, now, we're going to ride that tree down the river.
Azzad:
But, there is no river.
Kion: 
Not yet. Hope you two don't mind getting wet. [Azaad and Fuli look at each other] (Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make it rain]
(Thunder claps)
Janja: 
[Janja ducks] (Yelps)
Azzad:
Hmm, afraid of thunder, hyena?
Janja: 
Me? Afraid? No way. [Janja stands and smiles next to Jasiri]
(Rumbling)
Bunga: 
(Laughs) Kion roared up a river!
Kion: 
Now, everyone hop on the tree and hold on tight. We're gonna ride the tree down the river. 
Azzad:
Must we?
Janja: 
What? Afraid of water, cheetah?
Azzad:
Azaad is never afraid. It is simply that cheetahs and water do not get along.
Fuli: 
See? It's not just me.
Kion: 
Here comes the water. Everybody, get on!
[Everyone gets on the log]
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama!
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Here we go. 
[Fuli and Azaad hop on the log]
Kion: 
Hang on, everybody.
[The water moves the log and everyone on it]
All: 
Woah!
Bunga: 
This is un-Bunga-lievable!
Ono: 
They look like they're having fun.
Anga: 
Most of them.
Jasiri: 
You okay, Janja?
Janja: 
[Janja looks sea sick] (Groans) I think I like it better when Kion just used his Roar to blast us back to the... (Gags) Outlands.
Fuli: 
Thanks for helping us find our way, Azaad. I'm sure this part isn't much fun for you.
Azzad:
I do prefer my adventures to be less soggy, but I am pleased to having this adventure with you.
Bunga: 
Isn't this great? And look at all the waves up ahead!
Azzad:
Must we?
(All screaming)
[The log goes down a bunch of waves]
Anga: And Ono: 
[Anga and Ono get wet] (Yelp)
Kion: 
Looks like this is as far as we go.
Bunga:
Aw, too bad. That was fun.
Kion: 
What do you think, Azaad? Fast enough for you?
Azzad:
Almost as fast as a cheetah.
Kion: 
Great. Now, let's keep going.
[The scene cuts to sunset and everyone is walking]
Beau Black
¶Life has a way of circling around
[Janja and Bunga are sleeping on Beshte and Jasiri smiles at Kion]
¶Starting your day on different ground
[The scene cuts to a baby birds' nest and Kion uses the Roar of the Elders and lifts it up]
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
¶(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
[Wind blows at everyone and Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blow the wind away]
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
[The scene cuts and everyone walks in the marsh]
¶Yeah, you can push yourself
[Beshte gets stuck in vines and Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to get Beshte out]
¶Try something new
¶Go ahead and find your limits
¶See what you can do
[The scene cuts to the Moutanin]
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
[Bunga gets stuck in snow and Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to get the snow off]
¶(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
Kion: 
(Roaring)
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
[The scene cuts and everyone runs past klipspringers]
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Everyone stops at the Great Stone Wall]
Azaad: 
This, is the Great Stone Wall. We are not far from the Pride Lands now. But the Wall is too large to climb. The cheetah way is to run around it.
Kion: 
I think I can find us another way. Or make one.
Bunga: 
Oooh, whatch'a gonna do, Kion? Blast a hole through it?
Kion: 
Maybe.
Bunga: 
Yes! The Roar can do anything!
Fuli: 
The Roar can't solve everything, Bunga. We don't even know what's on the other side of that wall.
Bunga: 
Pfft. Doesn't matter! The Roar can handle it. Right, Kion?
Kion: 
Probably. Fuli, Zira and her lionesses may have already attacked. We need to get to the Pride Lands as fast as we can. So, stand back.
Fuli: 
Okay. [Fuli steps behind Kion and turns to Anga] Take a look?
Kion: 
(Roaring) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to break the Great Stone Wall]
Anga:
Uh-oh. [Anga sees a lake behind the wall] The Great Stone Wall is holding back a Great Big Lake! 
Kion: 
(Roaring)
Anga: 
Stop roaring! Stop roaring!
Fuli: 
What?
Kion: 
Heyvi kabisa.
(All gasps)
Kion: 
Everyone, stay behind me. I can handle this. (Roaring) [Kion tries to move the rocks back in place]
Buna: 
Oh, good one, Kion. Now what do you do?
Kion: 
Not sure. But I don't think I can... Uh-oh (Roars)
Anga: 
The klipspringers! They're right in the path of the water! And, hyraxes? They'll all be in danger if that water floods the valley!
Kion: 
Fuli?
Fuli: 
On it. Keep Roaring. Ono, Beshte, see if you can fix the rock wall. 
Beshte:
On it.
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Fuli: 
We need to clear the Valley in case the wall can't be saved. Bunga, Anga, hyrax duty.
Bunga: 
You got it. Anga, gimme a lift? 
Anga: 
All right. Anga lenga! [Anga lifts up Bunga]
[Anga and Bunga go to help the hyraxes]
Fuli: 
That leaves the klipspringers to us. Follow me! Huwezi!
Azaad: 
Mibinament!
[Azaad and Fuli go to help the klipspringers
Janja: 
But, uh, shouldn't we be savingourselves?
Jasiri: 
Janja, you're one of the good guys now. Come on.
Janja: 
All right, all right.
[Janja and Jasiri go to help the klipspringers] 
Beshte: 
How's it look, Ono?
Ono: 
Not good. Kion's roar smashed a big hole in the Great Stone Wall. Fixing it won't be easy. Nowaza, nowaza, nowaza... Yes, I got it. Beshte, we'll need to gather all the rocks the Roar made when it smashed the wall.
Beshte: 
I can do that, What's the plan?
Ono: 
We're going to use the Roar to fix what it broke. 
Bunga: 
[Bunga lands] Zuka Zama! Hold still, hyraxes. Coming Up! [Bunga lifts the hyraxes and Anga catches them] Hup! hup! hup!
Anga: 
Coming down. [Anga lifts up Bunga]
Bunga: 
Woah!
[Azaad, Fuli, Jasiri and Janja move the klipspringers]
Azaad: 
Go, go, go!
Fuli: 
Come on, move it!
Jasiri: 
Keep them all running in one direction!
Janja; 
Sure thing, Jasiri! Hey, being a good guy is just like being a bad guy. Except you don't try eating everything you chase.
[Jasiri rolls her eyes]
Kion: 
[Kion looks at Ono] (Roaring) Ono, any luck?
Ono: 
Yes, we have a plan, but we need you to keep roaring. 
Kion: 
(Roaring) [Kion continues roaring]
Ono: 
Beshte, now! Start pushing the rocks into the Roar's path!
Beshte: 
(Grunts) [Beshte lifts up rocks and the rocks go back to place]
Ono: 
It's working! Beshte, keep pushing. We need enough to cover the hole.
Beshte: 
(Grunts)
Bunga: 
The hyraxes are safe and sound.
Jasiri: 
The klipspringers too.
Anga: 
Looks like Kion, Beshte and Ono could use some help though.
Fuli: 
Right, come on.
[Everyone goes to help Kion, Beshte and Ono]
Kion: 
(Panting) Can't...keep it...up much longer. (Roaring)
Ono: 
Hang on, Kion. Help's on the way.
Beshte: 
(GRUNTS)
(All Grunting)
[Everyone helps lift up rocks]
Bunga: 
(Grunts)
Janja and Jasiri:
(Both grunting)
Ono: 
Okay, Kion, the rocks are in place. Now! [Kion stops roaring and the hole gets fixed] It worked!
(All cheering)
Kion: 
(Exhales) Thanks, everyone. [Kion looks at his friends] I thought I could solve all of our problems myself, but I was wrong. Nothing can replace the Lion Guard working together as a team. Not even the Roar. We make a great team. All of us.
Janja: 
Being a good guy ain't so bad.
Kion: 
Guess we need to take the long way around after all.
Azaad: 
Do not worry Kion.  As I said, the Pride Lands are not far from here. We will be there soon.
[The scene cuts to the Outlands]
Janja:
Hey, this place looks familiar.
Jasiri: 
It does.
Azaad: 
Yes. We have reached the Outlands.
Anga: [Anga sees Pride Rock]
Yep. And Look.
Ono: 
I see it. too!
Fuli: 
Pride Rock.
Bunga: 
We made it.
Beshte: 
We're almost home.
Kion: 
Yes. The Pride Lands. But we can't stop now. We need to find Zira and stop her. Till the Pride Lands end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
[Everyone runs to the Pride Lands]
(Chorus vocalizing)
