Never Roar Again/Transcript

Fade to a wide shot of the Outlands volcano. The camera pans down to show Janja's clan running through the Pride Lands, toward the Outlands.
Hyenas 	*cackle*
 	Fuli and Kion run into frame, chasing the hyenas.
Kion 	Get outta here, Janja!
 	Janja looks over one shoulder as he runs.
Janja 	Come on, Kion. It was just one gazelle.
 	The hyenas leap across a gorge into the Outlands.
Hyenas 	*snarl*
 	The Lion Guard runs up to the edge of the gorge and pauses.
Janja 	[from offscreen] Okay. [Cut to Janja's clan standing on the opposite side of the divide.] Okay. See, we're back in the Outlands. You happy?
Bunga 	And this time, stay there!
Kion 	[to his friends] Nice work, everybody. Let's go.
 	The Lion Guard turns and walks away.
Janja 	All right. Come on, fellas.
 	Janja leaps across the gorge into the Pride Lands.
Cheezi 	Huh? Where are we going, Janja?
Janja 	Where else? To get that gazelle.
 	Janja walks off with a menacing smile.
Chungu 	Um... Back in the Pride Lands?
Cheezi 	Uh, Janja? Didn't the Lion Guard tell us to stay out of the Pride Lands?
 	Janja pauses and turns around.
Janja 	Yeah. And since when do we take orders from the Lion Guard?
Chungu 	Um... Since never?
 	Cut to the Lion Guard walking through the savanna.
Janja 	[from offscreen] *laughs*
 	Kion pauses and looks over one shoulder.
Kion 	Huh?
 	Ono's vision flickers. Cut to his perspective. His vision zooms in on Janja's clan as they run through the Pride Lands.
Ono 	*groans* Hapana. [Ono lands on a rock in front of Kion.] Looks like Janja and his clan are heading back into the Pride Lands!
Bunga 	What? Don't they know when they've been beaten?
Beshte 	Guess they're not giving up today.
Fuli 	Ugh! Those hyenas.
 	Kion gestures with his head.
Kion 	Come on, Lion Guard. [The Lion Guard assembles around Kion.] Let's go! 'Till the Pride Lands' end..
 	The Lion Guard charges off.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Lion Guard defend!
 	Cut to Janja's clan walking through the Pride Lands.
Janja 	Spread out, boys.
Chungu 	I don't see that gazelle nowhere!
Cheezi 	You sure about this, Janja? We were just chased out of the Pride Lands.
 	Janja jerks around, and Cheezi and Chungu pull to a halt.
Janja 	So? If I wanna go into the Pride Lands, we go into the Pride Lands.
Nala 	[from offscreen] Janja! [Cut to Nala standing atop a nearby rock.] What do you think you're doing in the Pride Lands?
Janja 	*chuckles* Nala, [Janja feigns looking around.] is this the Pride Lands? *chuckles* I must have got turned around. [menacingly] I would never wanna go where I'm not welcome.
Cheezi 	But, Janja, you just said...
Janja 	[in an aside to Cheezi] Stuff it, fur-brain.
 	Nala jumps down from the rock.
Nala 	The Outlands are that way.
Janja 	Yeah, so we keep hearin'.
 	Nala steps forward emphatically.
Nala 	So, go.
Chungu 	Uh, I think she means it, Janja.
Janja 	Relax. She ain't so tough. Out here all alone. [Janja crouches threateningly.] Outnumbered.
 	Cheezi and Chungu crouch threateningly.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*growl*
 	Nala squares up against Janja.
Nala 	You sure you want to do this, Janja?
Janja 	Oh, I'm sure. The question is...are you?
 	The hyenas surround Nala and begin to advance on her.
Hyenas 	*growl*
 	Janja lunges at Nala.
Janja 	*grunts*
 	Nala dodges. Cheezi comes at her from a different angle.
Cheezi 	*growls*
 	Cut to the hyenas closing in on Nala.
Hyenas 	*growl*
 	Nala swipes threateningly at the hyenas, who back away.
Nala 	*grunts*
 	Kion emerges atop the nearby rock.
Kion 	Okay, Janja! We've got you... [noticing Nala] Mom!
 	Chungu snaps at Nala, who dodges.
Nala 	[fearfully] Kion!
Kion 	No!
 	The hyenas continue to snap at Nala.
Hyenas 	*growl*
 	Cut to Kion with stormclouds gathering behind him.
Kion 	[emphatically] Get away from my mom! *roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders. The Great Lions of the Past take shape in the stormclouds behind him. The Roar blows the hyenas away.
Hyenas 	*scream* [The force of Kion's Roar uproots plants and trees. Cut to the hyenas landing in the Outlands.] *grunt*
 	Cut to Kion sliding down the rock toward Nala. The rest of the Lion Guard waits atop the rock.
Nala 	Thank you, Kion.
Kion 	Of course, Mom!
 	Kion nuzzles Nala. Cut to a close-up of Bunga staring in shock.
Bunga 	Un-Bunga-lievable!
 	Cut to Kion's Roar rebounding off a cliff. It comes surging back toward the Lion Guard. They crouch fearfully.
Beshte 	[stuttering] What's the kerbubble?
 	Beshte lifts a leg. Fuli notices something offscreen.
Fuli 	Kion, your Roar... [Kion and Nala follow Fuli's gaze. Cut to the Roar surging at the camera.] It's coming back towards us!
 	Kion and Nala flee.
Kion 	*grunts* Whoa!
 	Cut to Nala and the Lion Guard fleeing the Roar. Ono gets caught up in the Roar's wind.
Ono 	Oh, no!
 	Kion attempts to stop his momentum but gets tossed backwards by the wind, flipping several times and landing on his stomach. Cut to the ground cracking beneath Nala. The ground breaks apart, and Nala falls in.
Nala 	*screams*
Kion 	Mom! [Kion runs up to the cliff's edge. Nala clings below him.] Mom!
Nala 	Kion?
 	Nala nearly loses her grip.
Kion 	Hang on! [Kion reaches for Nala's paw.] *strains* Almost... [Kion grasps Nala's paw with both of his own.] ...got you! [Kion pulls Nala up the side of the cliff.] *grunts*
 	Nala climbs onto stable ground and slumps into a sitting position.
Nala 	*sighs*
Kion 	Mom, [Kion nuzzles Nala.] are you okay?
Nala 	I'm all right, Kion. Thanks to you.
 	Kion hangs his head sadly.
Kion 	I...almost lost you.
Fuli 	[from offscreen] Kion! Nala!
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli run up to Kion and Nala.
Beshte 	You're not hurt, are you?
Nala 	We're fine.
Bunga 	I'll say it again: un-Bunga-lievable.
Kion 	It sure was. *sighs* Is everyone okay?
Bunga 	Yup.
Fuli 	Yes.
Beshte 	Me too.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Affirmative.
 	The Lion Guard and Nala look offscreen in shock.
Bunga 	Huh?
Fuli 	Oh...
 	Cut to Ono with his crest feathers missing.
Ono 	What? What are you all staring at? [One of Ono's feathers lands on his beak.] Oh, strange. That looks like one of my feathers.
Bunga 	Should we say something?
Fuli 	I wouldn't.
Beshte 	Maybe he won't notice.
Ono 	Notice what? [Ono looks up.] Huh, funny. Suddenly, my head's kinda cold.
 	Kion walks away from his friends and overlooks the landscape in sorrow.
Kion 	*sighs* [Cut to uprooted trees strewn across the savanna.] Hevi kabisa. The Roar did all this?
 	Kion ducks his head sadly and walks offscreen. Cut to Pride Rock. Cut to Ono landing on a rock in the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Ono 	What's the big deal about a few missing feathers? They'll grow back, right?
 	Cut to a wide shot of the Lair of the Lion Guard. Beshte stands in the pool, while Bunga and Fuli lounge on a rock nearby. Kion looks at paintings on one wall, his back to his friends.
Beshte 	That's the spirit, Ono!
 	Ono looks down into the pool.
Ono 	Oh, no! [Cut to Ono's reflection.] That's me?
Fuli 	Yeah, pretty much.
Ono 	What are all the other egrets going to say? You think they'll notice?
Bunga 	[laughing] Oh, they'll definitely notice. It's impossible not to notice. I mean, everyone's gonna notice.
Fuli 	*clears throat* [in an aside to Bunga] Bunga.
Ono 	*sighs*
Bunga 	I mean, no one's gonna notice. I barely noticed.
Ono 	Huh. *sighs* My head looks weird without feathers.
 	Beshte wades toward Ono.
Beshte 	Nah! Just looks smooth, like a hippo's backside.
Ono 	[sarcastically] My head looks like a hippo bottom. That's something to celebrate.
 	Bunga hops down to join Ono.
Bunga 	You look fine from below. Long as you fly higher than everyone, they'll never know.
Ono 	And if I don't fly higher?
Bunga 	Well, then, you'll stand out! [Ono flies offscreen. Bunga picks up some leaves and flowers, and fashions a headdress for himself.] Fitting in is overrated. [Bunga tosses the headdress away and crosses his arms.] I'd rather be appreciated. [Bunga approaches Ono.] What better way to shout you're here [Bunga pulls Ono close.] than have a head like a hippo rear?
 	Ono extricates himself from Bunga.
Ono 	Bunga, that doesn't make me feel better.
 	Bunga gestures to a painting of a giraffe among zebras.
Bunga 	Giraffes stand out in the zebra herd. [Bunga cartwheels over to another painting of an elk among birds.] Elk can't hide in a flock of birds. [Cut to Bunga hanging upside-down above Ono.] With that head, [Bunga drops down next to Ono.] you can't hide from view. Then again, [Bunga climbs a rock offscreen.] who'd want to?
Ono 	Well, there's predators, for one.
 	Cut to Bunga standing atop a tall rock. He raises his arms.
Bunga 	You gotta stand up, stand out. [Bunga dances.] Let the Pride Lands hear you shout. [Cut to Ono watching Bunga from below.] Be proud, [Beshte walks up behind Ono.] be free [Bunga drops down beside Ono.] to be the way [Bunga draws Ono close and gives him a noogie.] that you wanna be. [Ono flies offscreen, and Beshte and Bunga exchange glances. Cut to Ono standing on a rock. Bunga pops into the foreground.] If weird is better, you're the best. [Ono hides behind his wing. Bunga ducks offscreen.] Totally stand out from the rest. [Bunga pops up behind Ono.] Lucky you, your head's unique. [Bunga pats Ono's shoulder. He holds up a rock.] Looks like a rock that grew a beak.
Ono 	*sighs* It does?
 	Bunga tosses the rock away.
Bunga 	You gotta...
 	Bunga swings away on a vine.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	...stand up, stand out.
Bunga 	Let the Pride Lands hear you shout.
 	Bunga drops down in-between Beshte and Fuli.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Be proud, be free...
Bunga 	...to be the way that you wanna be.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	To be the way that you wanna be!
 	Ono smiles. Cut to Bunga pointing at a painting of Timon and Pumbaa.
Bunga 	Don't forget my uncle Pumbaa. Folks all know him when he passes. 'Cause his toots go [Bunga shakes his rear.] bada-boom-ba! You gotta respect those massive gasses. [Cut to Ono standing on Beshte's back. Bunga swings on a vine in a circle around them.] Oh! You gotta...
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	...stand up, stand out.
Bunga 	Let the Pride Lands hear you shout.
 	Ono's head moves as he watches Bunga swing around him.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Be proud, be free...
 	Bunga lands on Beshte's back and pulls Ono close.
Bunga 	...to be the way that you wanna be.
 	Beshte and Fuli walk alongside one another, with Bunga and Ono riding on Beshte's back.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Stand up, stand out.
Bunga 	Let the Pride Lands hear you shout.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Be proud, be free...
Bunga 	...to be the way that you wanna be.
Beshte and Fuli 	Stand up, stand out.
Bunga 	To be the way that you wanna be.
Beshte and Fuli 	Stand up, stand out.
 	Bunga hops off Beshte's back and lands on a rock beside the pool.
Bunga 	Let the Pride Lands hear you shout! [Bunga dances, then poses.] Right, Kion? [Bunga looks behind him.] Kion.
 	The camera pans up to show Kion still looking at the paintings.
Kion 	Huh? Yeah. Ono looks great.
 	Bunga rolls his eyes.
Bunga 	Well, obviously, he didn't look. [Bunga sidles up to Kion.] So, what are you looking at, Kion? [Bunga follows Kion's gaze.] Yeesh... [Cut to a painting of Scar using the Roar of the Elders on his Lion Guard.] Scar destroying his Lion Guard with the Roar. My uncles say Scar was the worst lion ever! Good thing you're the one with the Roar now, [Bunga nudges Kion's shoulder.] huh?
Kion 	[unconvinced] Yeah... Good thing.
Zazu 	[from offscreen] Lion Guard? Ah, [Zazu lands in front of Bunga and Kion.] there you are! Thank goodness.
 	Fuli trots up to join Bunga and Kion.
Fuli 	Zazu? What are you doing here?
Zazu 	Ono's job, apparently. There's been a rockslide. [Kion stares in concern.] No one was injured, but it cut the giraffes off from their watering hole.
 	Ono lands behind Zazu.
Ono 	Oh, no.
Zazu 	*scoffs* Oh, yes, Ono.
Kion 	Hevi kabisa!
Zazu 	You would have known had you been on the lookout. [Zazu looks behind him at Ono. He jumps.] Oh...
 	Ono tucks in his wings sheepishly.
Bunga 	There's nothin' wrong with him. He stands out!
Zazu 	Indeed. [Zazu turns back to face Bunga and Kion.] In any case, the giraffes need your help.
Kion 	Right. We're on it. 'Till the Pride Lands' end...
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion start to run out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion 	Lion Guard...
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion skid to a halt. Cut to Ono standing by himself.
Bunga 	Ono?
Fuli 	You coming?
Ono 	Uh, I'm not sure.
Beshte 	You've got to come. You're the keenest of sight.
Kion 	Beshte's right, Ono. Come on. We need you.
 	Zazu flutters up behind Ono.
Zazu 	You heard Kion. Duty calls. [Zazu shoves Ono forward.] Mustn't dawdle.
Ono 	Whoa!
Zazu 	Spit spot.
Ono 	Okay! [Zazu shoves Ono past the rest of the Lion Guard.] Okay! Lion Guard defend! Lion Guard defend!
Fuli 	*chuckles* Zazu can be pretty persuasive.
Kion 	Definitely. Now, let's go!
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion run after Ono and Zazu. Cut to the giraffes' watering hole. Twiga's herd gathers in front of a rockslide that has blocked their access to the water. Kion strides through the giraffes. The camera pans left to show Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli following Kion.
Beshte 	At least the giraffes are all waiting patiently.
Fuli 	For now.
 	Ono flies past Twiga, who stares.
Twiga 	*grunts*
 	Ono lands amidst the giraffes. Shingo bends down to Ono's level.
Shingo 	Hey! Wait your turn, egg-head!
Ono 	"Egg-head?" Is that a reference to how smart I am?
Twiga 	*laughs* No, it's a reference to your head looking like an egg!
Shingo and Twiga 	*laugh*
Ono 	*groans*
 	Fuli darts in front of Ono.
Fuli 	Hey, don't call Ono an egg-head!
 	Bunga joins Fuli.
Bunga 	Yeah! His head looks more like a hippo bottom!
Shingo and Twiga 	*laugh*
 	Ono sidles up to Bunga.
Ono 	[unimpressed] Uh, thanks, Bunga?
 	Cut to a giraffe inspecting the rockslide while Beshte and Kion look on.
Giraffe 	The rocks have blocked the only way in.
 	The giraffe backs up, and Kion moves closer to inspect the rockslide.
Kion 	Hmm.
Bunga 	[from offscreen] Oh, yeah! This is an easy one. [Cut to Bunga standing behind Kion.] You can just use the Roar and blast those rocks away!
 	Kion turns to face Bunga.
Kion 	Uh, I have a better idea. Um... Beshte! If you move that one big rock, it'll open up the whole thing.
Beshte 	Hmm... Maybe...
Bunga 	Come on, Kion. [Bunga nudges Kion's shoulder.] Just use the Roar! [chanting, posing] Use the Roar! Use the Roar! Use the Roar!
Kion 	[irritated] Bunga, we're trying this first. [Kion steps aside.] Beshte?
Beshte 	You got it, Kion.
 	Beshte approaches the rockslide.
Kion 	Everybody, stand back. We don't want any rocks to hit anybody.
 	The giraffes back up.
Beshte 	Twende kiboko! [Beshte positions his rear against the rockslide and pushes.] *grunts*
 	Some of the rocks fall, clearing a path to the watering hole.
Bunga 	Great news, giraffies! Your watering hole's back open! Plenty of water for everyone!
Shingo 	It worked. Huzzah! I'm thirsty.
 	The giraffes walk toward the watering hole and begin to drink. Cut to the Lion Guard walking away from the watering hole.
Kion 	Nice work, Beshte.
Beshte 	Thanks, Kion.
Klipspringer 	[from offscreen] *bleats*
Kion 	*gasps*
Bunga 	Uh-oh! Now, what?
 	The Lion Guard approaches the edge of a cliff.
Klipspringer 	[from offscreen] *bleats*
 	The camera pans down to show a klipspringer trapped on a rock in the middle of a river. Ono swoops down to join it.
Ono 	Don't worry, little guy. We'll get you to safety. Somehow.
 	The rest of the Lion Guard runs to the edge of the river.
Klipspringer 	[from offscreen] *bleats*
Bunga 	He's a klipspringer! Can't he just jump to the other side?
Beshte 	I think the poor little guy's too scared to move.
Kion 	We'll have to go get him.
Beshte 	The water's moving too fast for me, Kion.
Fuli 	And it's too wet for me.
Bunga 	So, just stop the water. You could do it with the Roar.
Kion 	No, not the Roar. Um, I have a better idea. Beshte! That dead tree! [Cut to a dead tree on the riverbank.] We can use that to get him!
Beshte 	Gotcha! [Beshte runs up to the tree and braces himself against it.] Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte pushes the tree, and it falls into the river. The klipspringer rears onto its hind legs.
Klipspringer 	*bleats*
Kion 	Thanks, Beshte. [Kion hops onto the dead tree.] I'll go get the klipspringer. [Kion walks carefully across the dead tree, which creaks ominously beneath him. He starts to step forward, only for the bark to collapse at his paws. He falls into a hole in the trunk.] Whoa! Uh-oh!
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli run for the dead tree.
Fuli 	Kion!
Bunga 	We'll save you!
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli hop onto the dead tree.
Beshte 	Yeah!
Kion 	No! Go back! [Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli inch toward Kion.] The wood's rotten...
 	The bark collapses beneath Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	*scream*
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion fall into the river as the dead tree breaks in half. A piece of stray bark flies up and hits Ono in the tail.
Ono 	*grunts*
 	Stray bark flies at the klipspringer.
Klipspringer 	*bleats*
 	The klipspringer hops to the opposite shore. Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion paddle toward the riverbank.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion 	*pant*
 	Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion climb onto dry land. Kion lies down. He notices something offscreen.
Kion 	Hey, look!
 	Cut to the klipspringer springing around happily.
Klipspringer 	*yips*
 	Kion stands.
Kion 	We did it!
 	Cut to Fuli, who is soaking wet.
Fuli 	[sarcastically] Yeah, great. [Fuli shakes the water out of her fur.] *splutters*
 	Ono lands on a nearby log.
Ono 	At least we're all in one piece.
Egret 	[from offscreen] Hey, Ono!
Ono 	Oh, no. I knew this would happen.
 	Cut to three egrets sitting in a tree.
Egret 	What's with your feathers? You're bald at both ends!
Ono 	I know. I... [realizing] What? [Ono looks down at his missing tail feathers.] Hapana! My tail feathers! That chunk of wood must've knocked them off!
Bunga 	At least now, everything matches.
Ono 	*groans* This is so embarrassing.
 	Cut to the Lion Guard walking alongside the river. Ono swoops toward them.
Bunga 	Hey, Kion? How come you didn't just use the Roar back there?
Kion 	[evasive] No reason.
Bunga 	Awww, come on! You can tell me.
 	Bunga and Kion pause.
Kion 	After what happened with my mom, I'm afraid I might hurt someone else with the Roar.
Bunga 	Say what? Kion! It's not like you did that on purpose.
Kion 	I know, Bunga. But...that's the problem. I couldn't control it! I don't know if I should ever use the Roar again.
Bunga 	[shouting] Never use the Roar again?!
Kion 	Bunga! Shhh!
 	Kion looks at Beshte, Fuli, and Ono. Cut to a back shot of Beshte, Fuli, and Ono continuing on, unaffected. Cut to Bunga circling Kion.
Bunga 	Tell me you're joking. Never use the Roar again? [Kion approaches the river.] *chuckles nervously* You're joking, right?
Kion 	Bunga, I...
 	Bunga approaches Kion.
Bunga 	Kion, [Bunga puts a consoling hand on Kion's shoulder.] you're the leader of the Lion Guard. You're the Pride Lands' fiercest! You gotta use the Roar! Zuka zama, right?
Kion 	*sighs* Zuka zama. Sure.
Bunga 	There ya go. [Bunga ruffles Kion's mane.] Glad I could help! Another problem solved by Bunga the Wise. Now, I'm gonna go help Ono!
 	Bunga bounds off, and Kion follows. The camera pans down to the river. After a moment, Makuu emerges.
Makuu 	So...Kion's afraid to use the Roar. Interesting. [Another crocodile emerges beside Makuu.] *chuckles* Looks like it's time to make my move.
Crocodile 	You mean go back to Big Springs?
Makuu 	Who needs Big Springs when the whole Flood Plains could be ours?
 	Cut to Kion walking up a hill alone. He pauses.
Kion 	Grandfather Mufasa?
 	Several shafts of light shine from the clouds, and Mufasa's face forms.
Mufasa 	Yes, Kion. I'm here.
Kion 	I'm worried about the Roar. The last time I used it, I was really angry. And it caused so much destruction!
Mufasa 	The Roar of the Elders is very powerful.
Kion 	I know. [Kion sits.] And that's why I'm thinking... [sighing] I shouldn't use it again. I... I'm worried that I might turn into Scar.
Mufasa 	Scar cared only for himself. His selfishness fueled his anger. Why were you angry, Kion?
Kion 	[impassioned] Janja and the hyenas. They were attacking my mom. I was so mad at them when I used the Roar! I lost control. And it almost hurt my mom. I almost hurt my mom!
Mufasa 	Scar never cared for anyone else the way you do, Kion. So, perhaps you should speak with the one you care so much about.
Kion 	Right. I will. [Kion stands.] Thank you, Grandfather.
 	Mufasa fades into the clouds. Cut to a wide shot of the Flood Plains. Egrets fly past the screen.
Egrets 	*caw*
 	Cut to a close-up of the Flood Plains. A mongoose hops into the water and floats on his back while animals relax and drink in the background.
Bushbucks 	*low*
 	Cut to two flamingos taking flight.
Flamingos 	*squawk*
 	The camera pans left to show zebras relaxing and drinking. Kwato splashes into the water playfully.
Kwato 	*brays*
 	Cut to Makuu and his float stalking toward the water.
Makuu 	The Flood Plains belong to the crocodiles now! [Makuu lunges at the screen, snapping his jaws. Cut to a bushbuck. Makuu stalks toward it.] *growls*
 	The bushbuck flees.
Bushbuck 	*screams*
 	Makuu lunges back and forth, snapping his jaws. He runs off another bushbuck.
Bushbuck 	*screams*
Makuu 	*laughs* That's right, bushbucks! Leave!
 	Cut to a wide shot of Makuu's float chasing other Pride Landers out of the Flood Plains.
Pride Landers 	*scream*
 	Cut to the mongoose running away. He passes Thurston, who is drinking.
Mongoose 	*pants*
 	Thurston lifts his head.
Thurston 	Now, see here! I was drinking that!
Makuu 	[from offscreen] *growls*
 	Cut to Makuu charging at Thurston.
Thurston 	Oh, dear! [Thurston rears onto his hind legs.] Panic and run! Panic and run!
 	Thurston flees, and other zebras follow.
Zebras 	*bray*
 	Makuu stalks onscreen and pauses, watching the zebras go.
Makuu 	*chuckles* That's right. Run! And tell all your friends. The Flood Plains now belong to the crocodiles! *chuckles*
 	Cut to the mongoose running through the savanna.
Mongoose 	*yells*
 	Cut to Fuli running. The mongoose runs toward her, and she hops over him.
Fuli 	Whoa! [Fuli does an about-face. The mongoose keeps running, but Fuli runs ahead of him and blocks his path.] Hey, [Fuli braces the mongoose with a paw on his head.] are you okay?
 	The mongoose stops running.
Mongoose 	*pants* Makuu and the crocs. *pants* They took over... *gulps* ...the Flood Plains!
Fuli 	Makuu... Don't worry. The Lion Guard will take care of this.
 	Fuli runs offscreen. Cut to a close-up of Ono.
Ono 	Oh, I don't know about this, Bunga.
 	The camera zooms out to show Bunga fashioning a headdress of leaves and flowers for Ono in the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Bunga 	Trust me. [Bunga begins pruning the headdress.] Almost done. Just a little more off the top.
 	Cut to Beshte watching from the pool.
Beshte 	Poa! It's a whole new look, Ono.
Ono 	Is that good?
 	Bunga continues to prune Ono's headdress.
Bunga 	Shhh! I'm trying to get the sides even. [Bunga blows on Ono's headdress.] There. Now, [Bunga spins the rock that Ono is sitting on so that he can see Ono's missing tail feathers.] let's see what I can do about these tail feathers.
 	Cut to Fuli entering the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Fuli 	Guys!
 	Without turning around, Bunga holds up a hand.
Bunga 	Have a seat. Be with you in a minute.
 	Fuli walks toward Bunga and Ono.
Fuli 	What is that? Whatever. Listen! Makuu and his crocs just took over the Flood Plains!
Beshte 	He can't do that! A lot of animals depend on those plains.
Fuli 	Exactly. We gotta get down there. Ono, find Kion. Tell him to meet us at the Flood Plains.
 	Ono salutes Fuli.
Ono 	Affirmative!
 	Ono flies out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Bunga 	Careful, Ono! That's a Bunga original!
 	Cut to a wide shot of the Flood Plains.
Crocodiles 	[from offscreen] *moan contentedly*
 	Cut to Makuu's float relaxing in the water. Makuu opens his eyes. Cut to Fuli streaking toward the water. Cut to Makuu's float, whose heads are now raised. Makuu lifts his head as well.
Makuu 	Someone's looking for trouble.
 	Fuli stops at the edge of the water.
Fuli 	All right, Makuu, you've had your fun. [Beshte and Bunga run up behind Fuli.] Now, it's time to leave.
Bunga 	Get out, or we'll throw you out.
Makuu 	*chuckles* Without your fearless leader? Or... [Makuu stalks closer to Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli.] Or should I say, your Roar-less leader? Heh.
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli exchange glances.
Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli 	Hmm?
Makuu 	Oh? You didn't hear? *chuckles* [Makuu rears onto his hind legs.] Oh, mighty Kion, leader of the Lion Guard, [Makuu drops back onto all fours.] too much of a coward to use his Roar.
Fuli 	I don't know what you're talking about, Makuu. [Fuli stalks toward Makuu.] But if you think the Lion Guard needs the Roar to defeat you, you're sadly mistaken.
Makuu 	*laughs* Oh, we'll see about that. [Makuu stalks toward Fuli, his jaws open.] *chuckles* [Makuu snaps at Fuli, who dodges. He continues to attack her, only for her to evade him.] *grunts*
Fuli 	[to Beshte and Bunga] I'll take Makuu. Think you two can handle the rest?
Beshte 	You know it, Fuli!
 	Makuu's float stalks toward Beshte and Bunga.
Crocodiles 	*growl*
 	Bunga hops onto Beshte's snout and into the air.
Bunga 	*grunts* Zuka zama!
 	Bunga lands on a crocodile's snout.
Crocodile 	*grunts*
Bunga 	Take that!
 	The crocodile snaps its jaws shut, with Bunga clinging on to them.
Crocodile 	*grunts*
Beshte 	Twende kiboko! [Beshte charges at two crocodiles and body-slams them.] *grunts*
Crocodiles 	*grunt*
 	Cut to a close-up of Fuli.
Fuli 	*strains*
 	Cut to a close-up of Makuu, his jaws open.
Makuu 	*growls* [The camera zooms out to reveal Fuli holding Makuu's jaws open with her legs. He snaps them shut, sending her flying.] *grunts*
Fuli 	*yells* [Fuli lands heavily against a tree.] *grunts*
 	Makuu charges at Fuli.
Makuu 	*growls* [Makuu snaps at Fuli, who dodges, and he bites the tree instead.] *grunts* [Makuu extricates his jaws from the tree, only for it to fall on him.] *grunts* [Makuu tosses the tree away.] *grunts* [Makuu stalks toward Fuli and takes another snap at her, but she dodges him. He tries again, to no avail, several times.] *growls*
 	Cut to Makuu lying on his side in the water.
Makuu 	*pants*
Fuli 	[from offscreen] Huwezi! [Fuli jumps onto Makuu. He tries to buck her off.] *grunts*
Makuu 	*grunts*
 	Finally, Makuu stops.
Fuli 	[softly, into Makuu's ear] Told you we didn't need the Roar to beat the likes of you. Give up?
Makuu 	Give up? Me? Oh, I don't think so.
 	Makuu rolls onto his back, knocking Fuli into the water.
Fuli 	*grunts*
Makuu 	*grunts*
 	Fuli emerges from the water and paddles away frantically.
Fuli 	*gasps*
 	Fuli swims toward Beshte, who has Bunga on his back. Bunga helps Fuli climb up beside him as Makuu's float closes in.
Makuu 	Did you think I'd try to take over the whole Flood Plain with only three crocodiles?
Bunga 	I kinda did.
 	Cut to Nala lying in Mizimu Grove, while Kion paces in front of her.
Kion 	And then, I saw you surrounded by hyenas, and it made me so angry. I know I'm not supposed to use the Roar in anger. But I did. And... And then...
Nala 	I know, Kion. I was there.
Kion 	So, what I need to know is...can you ever forgive me?
Nala 	Forgive you? [Nala stands and musses Kion's mane.] There's nothing to forgive. You were saving my life.
Kion 	But the Roar created that earthquake, and you fell in!
Nala 	And you helped me out.
Kion 	I know, but...seeing you like that... *sighs* Ever since, I've been afraid to use the Roar.
Nala 	Kion, the Roar is a part of who you are. You can't just stop using it.
Kion 	But how do you know I won't use it in anger again and hurt someone?
Nala 	Because I know you. [Nala lifts Kion's chin with a paw.] I trust you.
 	Nala nuzzles Kion.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Kion! Kion! [Cut to Ono flying down toward Kion and Nala.] It's Makuu!
 	Ono lands next to Kion, who turns to face him.
Kion 	Makuu? What's he done this...? [Kion notices Ono's headdress.] Uh, Ono? What's on your head?
Ono 	*sighs* It's a Bunga original. I'll explain on the way. Follow me!
 	Ono flies off, and Kion and Nala follow. Cut to Makuu's float advancing on Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli, who are still trapped in the midst of the water.
Crocodiles 	*growl*
 	Kion and Nala run up to the bank.
Kion 	Makuu! These Flood Plains aren't yours!
 	Cut to Kion, Nala, and Ono.
Nala 	You're welcome to use them, as are all the animals of the Pride Lands.
Kion 	And if you're not willing to share, then it's time to leave.
 	Cut to Bunga standing in the water.
Bunga 	That's right! [Bunga splashes water at two crocodiles.] You heard Kion and Queen Nala! Clear out! The Flood Plains don't belong to you!
Makuu 	*laughs* [Makuu looks around at his float.] Sure looks like they do to me. We crocodiles keep what we take.
 	Nala stalks toward Makuu. Suddenly, two crocodiles knock her into the water.
Ono 	The queen!
Kion 	Mom! *growls* [The camera zooms out to reveal dark clouds gathering behind Kion.] *pants* [Kion's face falls.] No. Not in anger. [The dark clouds disappear.] Makuu...
 	Cut to Makuu's float surrounding Nala in the water.
Makuu 	What are you gonna do, Kion? [Makuu swims closer.] Roar at me? And risk hurting your mom? Again?
 	Cut to Kion glaring at Makuu, with dark clouds gathering behind him. He gathers himself, and the clouds disappear.
Nala 	Kion, trust yourself!
 	Kion smiles.
Kion 	*roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to target a crocodile and blow it away from Nala.
Crocodile 	*grunts*
 	Cut to Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli staring in amazement.
Beshte 	Poa!
Kion 	*roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to target two crocodiles and blow them away from Nala.
Crocodiles 	*grunt*
 	Makuu stares at Kion in consternation. Kion stalks forward.
Kion 	Next time, when I say go, you leave! *roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blow Makuu's float away. The camera pans down to show Nala paddling toward Kion. He smiles at her. Bunga approaches Kion.
Bunga 	That was un-Bunga-lievable!
 	Beshte sidles up to Bunga.
Beshte 	Poa! It sure was.
 	Fuli runs up on the bank.
Fuli 	I didn't know you could do that with the Roar, Kion.
Kion 	Neither did I. [Kion smiles at Nala.] Guess I just had to have a little faith in myself.
Nala 	I've always had faith in you.
 	Kion and Nala nuzzle.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Hey, guys! Look!
 	Ono lands beside Kion and Nala, without his headdress on.
Fuli 	Awww! You lost your headpiece.
Bunga 	I can make you another one.
Ono 	No need. [Ono looks up at some stunt feathers on his head.] Look! [Ono gestures at the feathers.] My feathers have already started to grow back! I'll be back to looking like a normal egret in no time!
Egret 	[from offscreen] Ono! Check it out!
 	The camera zooms out to show three egrets with their crest and tail feathers missing.
Beshte 	Look at that, Ono. You started a trend!
Ono 	Oh! Well, I suppose I did.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Kion 	[from offscreen] *laugh*
 	The credits roll.
