Never Judge a Hyena by its Spots/Transcript

A flock of tickbirds takes to the air.
Tickbirds 	*caw*
 	A herd of oryx crests a grassy hill and runs across the plains.
Oryxes 	*snort*
 	One oryx glances fearfully over its shoulder. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu run among the herd.
Janja 	Come on, boys! It's lunchtime, and I'm starving!
Chungu 	I'm always starving!
Cheezi 	*laughs*
Kion 	[from offscreen] Hyenas!
 	The hyenas pull to a halt. Through the dust, the Lion Guard emerges.
Chungu 	Hey!
 	Kion steps forward.
Kion 	I thought I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!
Janja 	Did ya now? [Janja stands.] My stomach keeps forgettin'.
Chungu 	His stomach forgets. *laughs* [Chungu looks at Cheezi.] That's a good one!
Kion 	Go!
 	The hyenas recoil.
Janja 	Oh, no.
 	The hyenas flee.
Cheezi 	*laughs* That cub's got no sense of humor!
 	Kion looks over one shoulder.
Kion 	Lion Guard, calm the herd! I'll take care of these guys.
 	Kion takes off after the hyenas.
Fuli 	You got it.
 	The hyenas flee across the savanna, with Kion in pursuit.
Chungu 	We're leaving? What about lunch?
Janja 	All of a sudden, I'm not so hungry.
Cheezi 	But, Janja, you said you were starving!
Janja 	Just run, fur-brain!
 	The hyenas race toward the Outlands. They cross a river using a fallen log. Kion runs onto the log as the hyenas flee into the Outlands.
Kion 	That's right! Back to the Outlands! [Kion pauses in the middle of the log.] Now! [The log breaks beneath Kion, and he falls into the river.] *yells* [Kion grabs onto the log, which is floating down the river.] *coughs*
 	Beshte and Bunga watch the oryxes walk by calmly.
Beshte 	That's right. Easy there. You're all okay now.
 	Fuli approaches the oryxes, and they pull to a halt.
Bunga 	Yeah! Kion's chased those hyenas [Bunga waves dismissively.] back into the Outlands!
Fuli 	And he should be back by now. [Fuli looks up at Ono, who is flying overhead.] Ono, check on Kion.
Ono 	Affirmative! [Ono flies away. His vision flickers, and he spots Kion being swept down the river.] Hapana!
 	The log continues to carry Kion down the river.
Kion 	*grunts* Whoa!
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli watch the last of the oryxes leave.
Ono 	[from offscreen] Everyone, everyone! [Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli look up at Ono. He hovers overhead.] Kion's in trouble! Come on!
 	Ono flies away. The log continues to carry Kion down the river.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	The Lion Guard runs alongside the river, keeping pace with Kion.
Bunga 	Kion!
 	The log hits a rock, nearly dislodging Kion.
Kion 	*yells*
Bunga 	Hang on, Kion, we're coming!
 	Bunga dives into the river.
Beshte 	Little B, don't! The current's too strong!
 	Fuli looks up at Ono.
Fuli 	Ono! Keep pace with Kion!
Ono 	Right!
 	Ono flies away. The current carries Bunga along underwater. He breaches the surface and begins to flail.
Bunga 	*coughs* Whoa! [Beshte jumps into the river. Both he and Bunga disappear underwater. After a moment, Beshte emerges, with Bunga's scruff in his teeth. Fuli runs alongside them.] Thanks, Big B.
 	Ono flies over Kion.
Ono 	Hang in there, Kion. [Kion looks up at Ono weakly. Ono notices rapids up ahead.] Oh, no! Kion, look out! Rocks, straight ahead!
 	Kion peers downstream, then recoils.
Kion 	Whoa! [The log hits a rock and bounces off.] *yells* [The log hits another rock.] *yells* [Kion continues being swept downstream. He falls off the log, and the current carries him along underwater. His head breaks the surface, and he paws at a rock on the riverbank.] *pants* [Kion paddles to the riverbank.] *coughs* [Kion collapses on the bank.] *sighs*
 	On the opposite bank, Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli approach.
Fuli 	Kion! Are you all right?
 	Kion sits up.
Kion 	A little wet. *coughs* [Kion stands.] But I'm okay.
 	Ono lands next to Kion.
Ono 	But, Kion, look! You're over here [Ono cowers.] in the Outlands.
Kion 	I can see that, Ono. [Kion looks up at a rock wall.] And it looks like I can take that trail upriver. [Kion smiles at Ono.] Don't worry, Ono. I'll be fine. Besides, I don't have much of a choice. [Kion looks at the river.] I definitely can't cross the river here. The water's way too rough. [Kion looks across the river to where Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli are still waiting.] Lion Guard! Meet me at Flat Ridge Rock! I can cross the river there!
 	Beshte tilts his head.
Beshte 	Huh?
Fuli 	Flat Ridge Rock?
 	Bunga waves dismissively.
Bunga 	Yeah, yeah, yeah! [Bunga points at himself.] I know exactly where that is. [Bunga runs offscreen.] Follow me!
 	Beshte and Fuli follow Bunga.
Kion 	Thanks, Bunga! Ono.
Ono 	Yes, Kion?
Kion 	Better go with them. Make sure Bunga really does know where Flat Ridge Rock is.
 	Ono salutes Kion.
Ono 	Affirmative! [Ono flies after Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli.] Guys, wait up!
 	Kion begins climbing the trail. He gets to the top and begins running deeper into the Outlands. Behind him, a mysterious figure watches from the shadows. The scene transitions. Bunga leads Beshte, Fuli, and Ono into an area of dense jungle.
Bunga 	Come on! Come on! We don't want Kion waitin' up at Flat Ridge Rock, wondering where we are. [Bunga pulls to a halt.] Ah-ha! [Bunga's shoulders droop.] Awww.
Beshte 	What's wrong, Little B?
 	Bunga flips around to face his friends, grinning sheepishly.
Bunga 	Uh, nothing.
Fuli 	Bunga? Are you sure you know how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?
 	Bunga waves dismissively.
Bunga 	Pfft! Of course I know. [Bunga points.] It's this way! [Bunga marches off in a different direction. Beshte, Fuli, and Ono follow. Suddenly, Bunga halts.] Huh?
 	Beshte halts, and Fuli smacks into him from behind. Ono falls forward from Beshte's head and lands on his snout.
Ono 	Ow.
Bunga 	Wait! [Bunga waggles a finger.] No, no, no, no. [Bunga points.] It's this way!
 	Bunga races off in a different direction. After a moment of hesitation, Beshte, Fuli, and Ono follow. Suddenly, Bunga stops. Ushari lifts his head.
Ushari 	*hisses* Going somewhere, Bunga?
 	Bunga stares at Ushari.
Bunga 	Nope! [Bunga points.] Gotta be this way. [Beshte, Fuli, and Ono exchange glances. Bunga pauses.] Well, it's one of these ways.
Beshte 	Too bad Kion's not here to lead us.
Ono 	Do you even know where we are?
Bunga 	Sure! [Bunga scuffs at the ground with one foot.] Uh... [Bunga shrugs.] We're lost!
Beshte, Fuli, and Ono 	*sigh*
 	The scene transitions. Kion walks cautiously through the Outlands. Some rocks fall from overhead, and he pauses, looking up. More rocks fall, and he ducks his head with a worried expression on his face. He starts to walk forward again when more rocks fall behind him.
Kion 	*yells* [Kion jerks around and sniffs at the rocks.] Hmm.
Jasiri 	[from offscreen] Hello! [Kion looks up to see Jasiri standing on a ledge above him. She jumps down onto a lower ledge.] Surprise!
Kion 	*gasps*
Jasiri 	*laughs* Didn't know I was up here, did ya?
 	Jasiri jumps down onto a lower ledge.
Kion 	No, I... [with more certainty] I knew you were there the whole time, hyena.
Jasiri 	Yep, I'm a hyena all right. You lions are so [Jasiri rolls her eyes.] clever! *laughs* Especially you, Kion. Leader of the Lion Guard.
Kion 	You know me?
Jasiri 	Just by reputation. The mark on your shoulder's a giveaway [Jasiri rolls her eyes.], though. *laughs*
Kion 	So, you're not in Janja's clan?
Jasiri 	[repulsed] Janja? [recovering her cool] Yeah, that's a good one. [Jasiri hops down beside Kion. He bristles and falls into a defensive crouch.] What are you doing in the Outlands? Not exactly your territory.
Kion 	I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock so I can get back to the Pride Lands. If that's okay with you, hyena.
Jasiri 	The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back to the Pride Lands, [Jasiri rolls her eyes.] you're going the wrong way.
Kion 	Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...?
Jasiri 	Because I want you out of my territory.
Kion 	Good. I want out of your territory. [Kion walks away, glaring distrustfully over one shoulder at Jasiri.] *scoffs*
Jasiri 	Then you're going the wrong way!
 	Jasiri bounds after Kion. The scene transitions. Ono flies down to join Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli, who are emerging from a stretch of woods.
Beshte 	Thanks for getting us out of the woods, Ono.
Ono 	No problem. But I don't know which way to go from here. I've never been to Flat Ridge Rock.
 	Beshte looks at Fuli.
Beshte 	Neither have I.
 	Fuli looks at Bunga.
Fuli 	Me neither.
 	Bunga shields his eyes and feigns looking around.
Bunga 	Well, it's probably around here somewhere.
Beshte 	[from offscreen] All I see are grass, trees, and zebras.
 	Nearby, a herd of zebras grazes in a lightly wooded field.
Fuli 	Ugh! [Fuli bounds away from her friends.] I can't believe we don't know where to go! We're the Lion Guard! [Fuli sits and looks up in exasperation.] *sighs* This never happens when Kion's around!
Beshte 	Easy, Fuli. We just need to ask somebody for directions.
Thurston 	[from offscreen] Hello, Lion Guard. [Thurston struts up to Fuli.] I couldn't help but overhear. [Thurston ducks down to Fuli's level.] You need directions?
Bunga 	Yeah, we do! Do you know where Flat Ridge Rock is?
Thurston 	Flat Ridge Rock? Oh! Is that near Ukuni Woods? Or Big Springs?
Fuli 	[with forced patience] We don't know where it is. [Fuli stamps emphatically.] That's why we're asking you!
Thurston 	I see. Well, that's too bad. I'm not sure where it is. [Thurston looks around.] Now, where was I going?
Beshte 	Uh, maybe back to your herd?
Thurston 	Oh, yes, of course! Thank you!
 	Thurston walks away. Ono rolls his eyes.
Ono 	Zebras. *sighs* They never know where they're going.
Beshte 	Hey! We could ask Mbeya the rhino! He knows the Pride Lands like the back of his horn.
Fuli 	Great. Any idea where we can find Mbeya?
Beshte 	This time of day, Mbeya usually hangs out at the watering hole.
 	Bunga jumps into the air and pumps a fist.
Bunga 	Yeah! Watering hole, here we come. [Bunga starts to march off. Fuli races after him and grabs him by the scruff, halting him in his tracks.] Wha?
Fuli 	Ono, you lead this time.
Ono 	Affirmative! Follow me!
 	Ono flies away. Beshte and Fuli follow him, while Bunga continues marching in the opposite direction.
Fuli 	[from offscreen] This way, Bunga.
 	Bunga freezes. Fuli glares at him over one shoulder, then continues following Ono. Bunga follows Fuli and shrugs.
Bunga 	I was taking a shortcut.
 	The scene transitions. Kion walks up a steep incline. He hops up on a rock.
Kion 	*grunts* [Kion looks over one shoulder to where Jasiri is watching him from a nearby ledge.] Still following me?
Jasiri 	You're still ignoring my advice.
Kion 	About going the wrong way? *scoffs* [Kion hops off the rock and continues walking up the incline.] I'm pretty sure I'm heading towards Flat Ridge Rock.
 	Jasiri follows Kion.
Jasiri 	Maybe so, but you can't get there on this trail.
 	Kion struggles to climb over the top of the ridge.
Kion 	Oh, yeah? Why's that?
 	Jasiri hops onto a rock next to Kion.
Jasiri 	The trail ends...here.
 	Kion climbs to the top of the ridge.
Kion 	What? [Kion begins to slide down a steep incline on the other side.] Whoa! [Kion lands in a patch of thorns.] *yells*
Jasiri 	*cackles*
 	Jasiri slides down the incline after Kion. Trapped in the thorns, he looks up at her in fear.
Kion 	Hevi kabisa!
 	Jasiri pulls to a halt on the fringe of the thorns.
Jasiri 	*growls*
 	The scene transitions. Beshte chats with Mbeya in the watering hole, while Bunga, Fuli, and Ono wait on the bank.
Beshte 	That's right, Mbeya.
Fuli 	*sighs* How long can it possibly take to ask for directions to Flat Ridge Rock? They've been
talking forever!
Bunga 	Beshte does like to talk.
Ono 	Yes, but perhaps I'd better go talk to him.
 	Ono flies over to Beshte.
Mbeya 	You get to be my age, you never know what might happen!
Beshte 	*laughs*
 	Ono approaches Beshte and Mbeya.
Ono 	Sorry to interrupt, but, Beshte? We have to meet Kion? At Flat Ridge Rock?
Beshte 	Oh, yeah! Guess I better be going. See you later, Mbeya.
 	Beshte walks away. Ono follows him.
Mbeya 	Later, Beshte.
 	Beshte approaches Bunga and Fuli. Ono lands on the bank next to Bunga.
Fuli 	So? What did he say?
Beshte 	You won't believe it. Remember that heat wave we had yesterday?
Fuli 	[impatient] Yeah, I remember. It was hot. Now, what did Mbeya say?
Beshte 	He forgot to cover himself in mud! *laughs*
Bunga 	Why would Mbeya want to cover himself in mud, Big B?
Ono 	That's how rhinos avoid sunburn. Common knowledge, really.
Fuli 	*sighs* I meant, what did Mbeya say about the directions?
Beshte 	*chuckles* Fuli, you don't need directions to cover yourself in mud. Just find a nice mud puddle and roll in it.
Fuli 	[infuriated] Argh! Not directions for mud bathing. Directions for getting to Flat Ridge Rock!
Beshte 	Oh, yeah! The directions to Flat Ridge Rock! [Beshte freezes. He smiles sheepishly.] I forgot to ask. [Beshte dashes off.] Be right back.
Bunga, Fuli, and Ono 	*groan*
 	Bunga gestures at Beshte.
Bunga 	Yeah. Kion would never forget something like that.
 	The scene transitions. Jasiri watches Kion, who is still stuck in thorns.
Jasiri 	[from offscreen] *laughs* Hold still, this won't hurt at all. [Jasiri grabs a thorn branch in her jaws and tosses it aside.] *grunts*
Kion 	Hey, what are you doing?
Jasiri 	Getting you out of this thorn bush. [Jasiri grabs another thorn branch in her jaws. She holds it up and speaks through her teeth.] If you'd just hold still!
 	Jasiri tosses the thorn branch aside.
Kion 	What? Why would you help me? You're a hyena.
Jasiri 	You lions really do think all hyenas are bad.
Kion 	All the ones I've met are.
 	Jasiri rolls her eyes.
Jasiri 	Like Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu? [Jasiri waves dismissively.] Well, obviously, I'm not like them. [Jasiri tosses another thorn branch aside.] For one thing, they're males, which means they're foolish. [Kion frowns. Jasiri grins down at him.] No offense.
Kion 	Not all males are foolish.
Jasiri 	Says the male lion, flat on his back, stuck in a bush. [Kion looks shocked, then smiles sheepishly.] *laughs*
 	Jasiri tosses another thorn branch aside. The scene transitions. Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli wade through a bog, while Ono flies overhead. Flies buzz around them.
Ono 	Things would certainly go a lot better if Kion were leading us.
Bunga 	Yeah. But you gotta love all these flies!
 	Bunga claps his paws in the air, capturing several flies. He slurps them up happily. Fuli shakes her head.
Fuli 	Ugh. Yeah, gotta love 'em. Beshte, are you positive Mbeya said this is the way to Flat Ridge Rock?
Beshte 	Yep! 'Course, he also said he's never actually been there.
Fuli 	*groans*
 	Ono flies higher. His vision flickers, and he spots a flat rock on the horizon.
Ono 	Everyone! There's a ridge up ahead with a flat rock on top of it. It's gotta be Flat Ridge Rock!
Bunga 	Zuka zama! [Bunga jumps into the water, splattering Fuli with mud.] Kion, here we come!
Fuli 	This time, I'll lead the way. [Fuli dashes off into the savanna.] Comin' through.
 	Beshte and Bunga exchange glances. They race after her, while Ono flies overhead.
Bunga 	Fuli, slow down! How can you lead us when we can't keep up?
 	The scene transitions. Kion emerges from the thorns. Jasiri tosses another thorn branch aside.
Kion 	Thanks...I guess.
Jasiri 	[irritated] You guess?
Kion 	Well, yeah! You could have told me the trail ended before I went over the hill.
 	Jasiri smirks.
Jasiri 	Yeah, but then I wouldn't have seen the leader of the Lion Guard rolling down a hill! *laughs*
Kion 	Okay, you've had your laugh. Now, I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?
 	Jasiri turns around, where a trail leads deeper into the Outlands.
Jasiri 	Follow that trail. It'll take you to Flat Ridge Rock [Kion limps past Jasiri toward the trail.] and back to your beloved Pride Lands.
 	Kion looks over one shoulder at Jasiri.
Kion 	Thanks. [Kion limps down the trail.] *grunts*
Jasiri 	[concerned] You're limping.
 	Kion pauses and looks over one shoulder at Jasiri.
Kion 	I'm fine. Just a little sore from the fall. I can handle it. [Kion continues limping down the trail.] *grunts*
Jasiri 	Okay, tell you what. [Jasiri rolls her eyes.] It's kinda my fault you're hurt [Kion turns around to face Jasiri and smiles.] so I'll stick with you until you can see Flat Ridge Rock.
Kion 	Okay. [sobering] I mean, if you want to.
Jasiri 	What I want? *giggles* I want you out of my territory!
 	Kion turns away from Jasiri.
Kion 	Yeah, well, [Kion smiles over one shoulder at Jasiri.] me too.
 	Kion and Jasiri follow the trail deeper into the Outlands. The scene transitions. Beshte and Bunga plod along, shoulders drooped. Ono lies, passed out, on Beshte's back.
Bunga 	*pants*
Ono 	*wheezes*
Beshte 	*groans*
 	Bunga parts some grass.
Bunga 	Huh?
Beshte, Bunga, and Ono	[from offscreen] Fuli?
 	Fuli grooms herself next to Flat Ridge Rock.
Fuli 	Hi, guys. What kept you? I even had time to clean up.
 	Ono lands next to Fuli.
Beshte 	Uh, Fuli? Usually, Kion wouldn't get so far ahead that the rest of us have trouble keeping up.
Fuli 	Oh. Sorry, guys.
 	Bunga walks up to Flat Ridge Rock.
Bunga 	Wait! [Bunga leans on Flat Ridge Rock.] This is Flat Ridge Rock?
Ono 	Well, this rock is pretty flat.
Fuli 	And it's on a ridge.
Bunga 	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! I know this place. [Bunga waves dismissively.] I've been here hundreds of times. You know, there's a great shortcut we could have used.
Beshte, Fuli, and Ono 	[angry] Bunga!
Bunga 	What?
 	The scene transitions. In the Outlands, a chameleon eats a grub. Kion and Jasiri approach, and the chameleon slinks away.
Kion 	See that? That's the Circle of Life for you.
Jasiri 	Wait. You think I don't know about the Circle of Life?
Kion 	Well, you are a hyena.
 	Jasiri juts her head at Kion, who recoils.
Jasiri 	Look. I know Janja's clan is greedy and eats more than their share. But most hyenas respect the Circle of Life. We're the clean-up crews. [Jasiri strides away from Kion.] Picking up after all the sloppy eaters. We hyenas eat what you lions leave behind.
Kion 	Oh. I guess I never really thought about it like that.
 	Kion sits. Jasiri approaches him.
Jasiri 	*laughs* Of course not. You think hyenas and lions are so [Jasiri rolls her eyes.] different, but we're not. We're more similar than you think, Kion. Sisi ni sawa.
Kion 	You're saying we're the same? No, I don't think so.
 	Kion stands.
Kion 	You think that life is one big game. [Kion strides around Jasiri, who rolls her eyes.] You joke, you laugh, you take no blame. [Kion turns his back on Jasiri.] I'm telling you, there's just no way that we're the same.
Jasiri 	You've got to look past what you see, [Jasiri sidles up next to Kion.] try not to judge so easily. [Jasiri strides to Kion's other side.] Believe it or not, [Jasiri leans toward Kion, who recoils.] you're a lot like me. [Jasiri hops onto a rock.] Say, believe it or not, you're a lot like me! Sisi ni sawa means [Jasiri hops off the rock, with Kion watching.] we're the same.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Kion strides after Jasiri.
Kion 	I hear what you're saying, but you need to explain.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Jasiri looks into a pool of water.
Jasiri 	At the end of the day, it's like water and rain. [Kion looks into the pool of water, confused.] Sisi ni sawa. We are the same! [Kion looks at Jasiri, who taps her paws to the beat.] Maybe I laugh. [Kion sidles up next to Jasiri, smiling.] Maybe you purr. But take a look under the fur. [Jasiri hops onto a rock.] Deep in our heart is what matters for sure!
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Jasiri bounds from rock to rock, and Kion follows her.
Jasiri 	'Cause we both know a higher call, [Kion and Jasiri watch a line of ants march past.] like every creature big and small. The Circle of Life should be what's guiding us all! [Kion smirks. Kion and Jasiri look up at the sky.] The Circle of Life will guide us all! [Kion follows Jasiri, both dancing to the beat.] Sisi ni sawa means we're the same!
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Jasiri looks at the spots on one of her shoulders.
Kion 	Though you've got your spots, [Kion looks up at his mane.] and I have a mane!
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Kion and Jasiri approach the pool of water.
Jasiri 	At the end of the day, it's like water and rain. Sisi ni sawa. We are the same!
Kion and Jasiri 	Sisi ni sawa. We are the same!
 	Kion and Jasiri tap their paws to the beat.
Kion 	Never thought that we'd see eye to eye!
 	Jasiri looks down on Kion from where she is lying on a rock.
Jasiri 	I can't imagine why. [Jasiri stands and hops off the rock.] It's very easy if you try!
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
Kion 	Still, to me, they're brand new thoughts [Jasiri bounds from rock to rock, and Kion follows her. He hops onto a rock.] not to judge hyenas by their spots!
 	Jasiri approaches from below Kion.
Jasiri 	Sisi ni sawa! [Kion follows Jasiri, both bobbing their heads to the beat.] Sisi ni sawa means [Jasiri turns around and walks backward so she can face Kion.] we're the same!
Kion 	Forget about the past [Kion and Jasiri slide down a rocky hill.] when there's nothing to gain.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Kion and Jasiri slide to the edge of the pool of water. They look at their reflections.
Kion and Jasiri 	At the end of the day, it's like [Jasiri hops onto Kion's head.] water and rain. Sisi ni sawa. [Kion and Jasiri separate and go back to back.] We are the same!
 	Kion and Jasiri exchange glances.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Jasiri follows Kion, both dancing to the beat.
Jasiri and Kion 	Sisi na sawa means we're the same!
 	Kion and Jasiri spring apart to face one another.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
Kion and Jasiri 	Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain.
 	Kion and Jasiri bound off in opposite directions.
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Jasiri looks at her reflection in the pool of water.
Kion and Jasiri 	At the end of the day, [A leaf disturbs the water, and Jasiri's reflection turns into Kion's.] it's like water and rain. Sisi ni sawa. [Jasiri flicks water at Kion.] We are the same!
Chorus 	Sisi ni sawa!
 	Kion and Jasiri bound down the trail.
Kion and Jasiri 	Sisi ni sawa. We are the same!
 	Kion and Jasiri pause. Jasiri strides past Kion.
Jasiri 	Sisi ni sawa. We are the same!
 	Jasiri walks down the trail.
Jasiri 	*sniffs*
 	Kion approaches Jasiri from behind.
Kion 	What's wrong?
 	Jasiri turns to face Kion.
Jasiri 	We're in Janja's territory. And, believe it or not, we don't get along! *laughs* Don't worry. [Jasiri points with her nose to the top of a nearby cliff.] Flat Ridge Rock is right over there. You're almost home.
 	Kion sidles up next to Jasiri.
Kion 	Asante, Jasiri. Thanks for your help.
 	Kion runs off down the trail.
Jasiri 	Sure. Bye, Kion!
 	Kion climbs a nearby rock. He looks over one shoulder at Jasiri.
Kion 	Hey, Jasiri! If you ever need my help...
Jasiri 	Help? From a lion? *laughs* That's a good one!
 	Jasiri turns around and walks back into the Outlands.
Kion 	Okay.
 	Kion turns and continues toward Flat Ridge Rock. Jasiri walks through the Outlands, a worried look on her face. Some rocks fall nearby, and she whips around. Slowly, she backs away from the rocks. She turns around, only to run nose-first into Janja.
Janja 	*snarls*
 	Jasiri flinches back, her paws pulled up to her chest.
Jasiri 	Janja!
Janja 	Well, well. If it isn't Jasiri. Thought I told you to stay off our turf!
 	Regaining her composure, Jasiri stands tall.
Jasiri 	Just passing through, so move. [Jasiri crouches aggressively.] Or do I have to move you myself?
 	Cheezi and Chungu approach from behind Janja.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*laugh*
Janja 	Big talk, coming from someone who's all alone!
Jasiri 	Okay, [Jasiri turns around.] I'll take another path.
 	Jasiri's face goes slack with fear. Janja's clan are already standing behind Jasiri in aggressive stances.
Hyenas 	*growl*
Jasiri 	So, [Jasiri turns around to face Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu.] you figured out that only three of you didn't stand a chance against me.
Janja 	Come on, boys. Let's remind Jasiri what happens to someone who wanders [The hyenas form a circle around Jasiri, who backs against a wall.] into our part of the Outlands!
Jasiri 	[from offscreen] These all the hyenas you got, Janja?
 	Kion pauses climbing the cliff up to Flat Ridge Rock. He turns questioningly over one shoulder.
Kion 	Jasiri?
 	The hyenas close in on Jasiri.
Hyenas 	*snarl*
Cheezi 	Me first! *laughs*
 	Cheezi lunges at Jasiri, who headbutts him. He knocks into his fellow hyenas, and they all collapse on the ground.
Hyenas 	*groan*
Jasiri 	*laughs* [Jasiri looks over one shoulder.] Who's next?
 	Janja nods at Chungu, who stalks toward Jasiri.
Chungu 	*snarls* [Jasiri bites at Chungu, who flinches away.] *yells*
 	Jasiri bites at Chungu again, and he falls backward into another hyena. Janja bounds past his minions and pins Jasiri to the ground.
Janja 	*grunts* Enough playing around.
 	A shadow falls over Janja, and he looks up. Kion, silhouetted against the sky from his place atop a large rock, bounds down and swipes Janja away with one paw. Janja lands on his side on the ground.
Kion 	*grunts*
Janja 	*groans* [shocked] Kion?
 	Jasiri stands and faces Kion.
Jasiri 	What are you doing here?
Kion 	I'm here to help.
Jasiri 	If you say so... [Kion and Jasiri turn to face the encroaching hyenas.] but I got 'em right where I want 'em!
 	Jasiri blows dust at two hyenas.
Hyena 	*yelps*
 	Through the dust, Jasiri's leg appears and kicks the two hyenas away. Kion looks over one shoulder at her.
Kion 	Yeah, I can tell.
 	Kion turns to face a hyena.
Hyena 	*growls*
 	Kion swats the hyena to the ground.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	Kion jumps back into battle. Jasiri turns and nips at a hyena who is approaching her from behind.
Hyena 	*whimpers*
 	Kion falls on top of Nne, crushing him. He then swipes at another hyena. As a third hyena approaches, Kion headbutts him backward and lands on his stomach. Jasiri swipes at a hyena.
Jasiri 	*snarls* [Jasiri glances over at Kion.] Kion! Behind you!
 	Nne and Tano approach Kion from behind. He turns to face them, but before he can attack, Jasiri slides into view, kicking away Nne and pinning Tano. She smirks at Kion.
Kion 	Nice move, Jasiri. Oh!
 	Kion leaps out of frame. A hyena approaches behind Jasiri, his jaws open wide. Kion bounds forward, knocks Jasiri down, and bashes heads with the hyena. The hyena collapses, and Kion blinks dazedly. Jasiri sits up.
Jasiri 	Thanks. You're not so bad yourself, for a lion.
Hyenas 	*snarl*
 	The hyenas back Kion and Jasiri into a wall. Kion's and Jasiri's ears droop as they back away.
Kion 	Uh-oh. Looks like we're cornered.
 	Janja bulls his away past Cheezi and Chungu.
Janja 	*laughs* Got you now.
Kion 	Jasiri, get behind me! [Jasiri starts to approach the hyenas, but Kion holds up a paw to stop her.] Now!
Jasiri 	What? Why?
Kion 	Trust me.
 	Jasiri stares at Kion in confusion. Finally, she walks behind him.
Jasiri 	Can't believe I'm trusting a lion.
Janja 	Don't know why you're in the Outlands helpin' a hyena, Kion, but it's the last thing you're gonna do. *laughs*
Hyenas 	*growl*
Janja 	Get 'em, boys!
 	The hyenas advance on Kion and Jasiri.
Chungu 	Got you now!
Cheezi 	Yeah! *laughs*
 	The wind begins to pick up. Jasiri looks up uncertainly. Kion uses the Roar of the Elders. Jasiri watches in shock.
Kion 	*roars*
 	From atop Flat Ridge Rock, Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono look down worriedly on the Outlands.
Bunga 	Zuka Zama! [Bunga jumps down into the Outlands.] Kion's in trouble!
 	Beshte, Fuli, and Ono follow Bunga.
Kion 	*roars*
 	The hyenas are blown away by the Roar of the Elders.
Hyenas 	*yelp*
 	The hyenas land in a heap, with Janja on the bottom.
Janja 	Ugh. I hate that roar. [Kion's paw comes into view. Janja opens one eye, then the other.] *whimpers*
 	Kion glares down at Janja.
Janja 	Come on, boys!
 	The hyenas flee.
Hyenas 	*yelp*
 	Jasiri sidles up next to Kion.
Jasiri 	*laughs* [The hyenas disappear into the Outlands.] Look at 'em go! That was the funniest thing I've ever seen!
Kion and Jasiri 	*laugh*
Jasiri 	Okay, that roar thing? That is definitely something we don't have in common.
Kion 	I've seen you in action. You don't need a roar.
Jasiri 	[smugly] You know, I never thought a lion would help a hyena.
 	Jasiri nudges Kion. He looks shocked for a moment, then regains his composure.
Kion 	Well, not all lions are alike.
 	Jasiri smiles at Kion.
Ono 	[from offscreen] He's over here!
 	Bunga runs toward Kion.
Bunga 	Kion!
 	Behind Bunga, Fuli is crouched aggressively. Ono flies overhead.
Fuli 	*growls*
 	Jasiri falls into a defensive stance.
Jasiri 	*growls*
 	Fuli bounds toward Jasiri, while Bunga raises his fists.
Fuli 	Back off, hyena!
Fuli and Jasiri 	*growl*
 	Kion bounds in-between Fuli and Jasiri.
Kion 	Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! [Fuli and Jasiri relax their stances.] Take it easy. She's a friend.
Fuli 	She is?
Jasiri 	I... I am?
 	Kion sits next to Jasiri.
Kion 	Definitely.
 	Bunga approaches Kion and puts a hand to his mouth, fake whispering.
Bunga 	But she's a hyena.
Kion 	I know. But not all hyenas are like Janja. Some of them are good. She's one of them.
Fuli 	Really?
Kion 	She got me through the Outlands.
Jasiri 	And he saved me from Janja and his clan.
Beshte 	Well, any friend of Kion is a friend of ours.
Kion 	You should have seen her take on Cheezi and Chungu. [Kion falls into a defensive crouch and paws at the air.] She was fierce.
Fuli 	Huh. I like her already.
 	The scene transitions. Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono walk away from Flat Ridge Rock. Behind them, Kion and Jasiri climb up the ledge to stand on Flat Ridge Rock.
Bunga 	Sure is nice having Kion lead us again, even if he is walking behind us.
Jasiri 	Well, I better get back to my territory. I'm sure your roar doesn't scare off Janja forever.
 	Kion rolls his eyes.
Kion 	*chuckles* If only!
Jasiri 	*laughs* [affectionately] Bye, Kion. It's been fun.
Kion 	Bye, Jasiri. [Jasiri turns to leave.] Maybe I'll see you again sometime?
 	Jasiri looks over one shoulder at Kion.
Jasiri 	Not if I see you first! [Jasiri bounds into the Outlands.] *laughs*
 	Kion runs after Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono.
Kion 	Hey, guys! Wait for me!
 	The credits roll.
