Journey to the Pride Lands/Transcript

(Kion is seen talking to Mufasa)
Mufasa: 
It is a difficult decision.
Kion:
(Kion walks back and forth as he talks) 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 and Rani comes up to Kion)
Rani: 
Kion?
Kion: 
(Kion turns to face Rani) 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.
(Kion and Rani start walking)
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.
(Music starts)
Rani: 
(Rani touches Kion's main and messes it up) ♪ How are we so different and still so much the same?
Kion: 
♪ Why do I start smilin' when I hear your name?
(Rani and Kion look at their reflection)
Rani: 
♪ At times I think you could be a reflection of me
Kion: 
♪ Still there's something deeper
Kion and Rani: 
(Rani and Kion look at each other) ♪ More than what we see
(Rani and Kion frolic through flowers) ♪ There's a feeling of belonging that's deep down inside
(Rani and Kion walk in the Tundra) ♪ A feeling that's been growing, now we just can't hide
(Rani and Kion walk past a Waterfall) ♪ It's a feeling somehow knowing there's nothing to decide
(Kion touches the water and Rani tries to push Kion in. But Kion pushes Rani into the water) 
♪ 'Cause when I'm with you it's clear, we're of the same pride
Kion:
(Rani and Kion look at the paintings inside the Tree of Life) ♪ 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 of 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 looks at Kion) ♪ Or has it just begun?
Kion and Rani:
(Rani and Kion walk to the River of Patiences and hop on two logs) ♪ There's a feeling of belonging that's deep down inside
♪ A feeling that's been growing, now we just can't hide
(Rani hops onto the same log that Kion's on) ♪ It's a feeling somehow knowing there's nothing to decide
(Rani and Kion hop off of the log) ♪ 'Cause when I'm with you it's clear, we're of the same pride
Rani:
(Rani and Kion help out Astuto and his kit) ♪ You have the energy and drive to take command
Kion: 
♪ You have the patience I always wish I had
Rani: 
(Rani and Kion look at the Tree of Life's landmarks) ♪ Working together I finally understand. Having you here by my side will help me rule this land
Kion And Rani: 
(Rani and Kion frolic through the grass ♪ There's a feeling of belonging that's deep down inside
(Rani jumps onto Kion) ♪ A feeling that's been growing, now we just can't hide
(Rani jumps off of Kion) ♪ It's a feeling somehow knowing there's nothing to decide
Kion: 
♪ 'Cause when I'm with you, it's clear
Rani: 
♪ 'Cause when I'm with you, it's clear
Kion And Rani: 
(Rani and Kion hug each other) ♪ We're of the same pride ♪
(Music ends)
(Rani and Kion walk by 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 comes up and Rani looks annoyed at Bunga)
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 and lands) (Hoots) Queen Rani, Lion Guard. I've spotted a cheetah, making his way up the pass.
Fuli: 
A cheetah?
Azaad: 
"Mibinamet!"
Fuli And Rani: 
Azaad! (Looking surprised at each other) Wha-?
Azaad: 
(Azaad shows up and bows at Rani) Fuli, Queen Rani.
Rani: 
Azaad.
Fuli:
(Fuli wonders how Azaad and Rani know each other) You two know each other?
Rani: 
Azaad's been to the Tree of Life before.
Azaad: 
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?
Azaad: 
(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 come to the Tree of Life)
Jasiri: 
Azaad!
'Janja: 
(Coughs) Wait for us!
(Everyone is shocked to see Jasiri and Janja)
Kion: 
Jasiri?
Bunga: 
Janja? I'll stop him. "Zuka Zama!" (Bunga jumps onto Janja)
Janja: 
(Grunts) Oh, Bunga, get off of me. I'm on your side now.
Bunga: 
(Bunga gets up and Jasiri looks at him) Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Kion: 
Jasiri? Janja? What are you doing here?
Jasiri: 
It's Zira. She and her pride of evil lions are back.
Kion: 
What?
Fuli: 
Zira?
Beshte: 
Oh, no.
Anga: 
(Anga is confused on not knowing who Zira is) 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.
Azaad: 
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: 
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:
(Makini walks up to Kion) 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. (Makini hugs Beshte)
Beshte: 
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 places her paw on each member of the Lion Guard Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, Anga. (Rani turns to Kion) 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, Jasiri, Janja and Azaad leave to go to the Pride Lands and Makini waves goodbye)
Rani: 
Maybe the roar will return again, someday.
(The scene transitions to the Mountain Pass)
Kion: 
Thanks for coming to get us, Jasiri.
Jasiri: 
You saved my family and home more than once. Just returning the favor.
Azaad: 
Fuli, I understand that you have friends, but having hyenas for friends?
Janja:
(Janja scratches himself) Woah! (Grunting)
Azaad: 
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 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 uses her vision and spots the giant 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.
Azaad: 
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. Alsa, 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.
Azaad: 
Follow me. 
(The scene transitions and everyone goes to a canyon) 
Azaad: 
The fastest way is through this canyon.
Beshte:
(Beshte sees that he can't fit) 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?
Azaad: 
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 goes behind Kion
Azaad: 
But you can not all fit. How...
Bunga:
Just wait. It's Un-Bunga-liveable!
(Azaad stands behind Kion)
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make the path bigger)
Bunga: 
(Laughs) Gotta love the Roar.
Azaad: 
Very well. The fast way it is. 
(Everyone goes through the canyon and the scene transitions to a ravine)
Azaad: 
We will need to cross this ravine.
Bunga: 
(Chuckles) That's deep and wide. Deep and wide! (Echoes)
Azaad: 
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?
Azaad: 
'
Yes. The path to the Pride Lands continues on the other side. But...
Kion: 
That's all I needed to hear.
Bunga: 
Ooh!, ooh! Me first! Me first!
Kion: 
(Laughs) Okay, Bunga, you first.
(Jasiri and Janja look at each other confused)
Jasiri: 
First?
Janja: 
First for what?
Anga: 
You'll see.
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to move Bunga to the other side of the ravine)
Bunga: 
(Laughs) Yeah!
(Jasiir and Janja are both surprised)
Kion:
(Continues Roaring)
Bunga: 
That's what I'm talking about!
Kion: S
o, who's next?
Janja: 
(Janja stands behind Jasiri) 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 move Janja and Jasiri across the ravine)
Janja: 
Wait, wait, wait! It's just that I don't wanna fly!
Bunga:
(Bunga pats Janja's head) 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)
Kion: 
Fuli? Azaad?
Azaad: 
We can cross the ravine like cheetahs. Yes, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Yes.
(Fuli and Azaad jump over the ravine)
Azaad:
"Mibinamet."
Fuli: 
"Huwezi!"
Ono: 
So, Kion. how will you get across?
Kion: 
Like this. (Roaring)
(Wind blowing)
(Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to move himself across the ravine)
Bunga: 
Un-Bunga-lievable!
Kion: 
Okay, Azaad. We're across. Now which way do we go?
Azaad: 
This way.
(The scene transitions and everyone continues walking and Fuli and Azaad look at each other happy)
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: 
(Kion thinks about Rani) Yeah. Really good friends.
Azaad: 
Here we turn and follow the river bed to its mouth.
Fuli: 
Is it far?
Anga: 
Farther than I can see.
Azaad: 
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 moves the dead tree to the riverbed)
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.
Azaad: 
But, there is no river.
Kion: 
Not yet. Hope you two don't mind getting wet.
(Azaad and Fuli look at each other)
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make a river)
(Thunder claps)
Janja:
(Janja gets scared of the thunder) (Yelps)
Azaad: 
Hmm, afraid of thunder, hyena?
Janja: 
Me? Afraid? No way. (Janja walks up to Jasiri and smiles)
(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. 
Azaad: 
(Azaad looks worried) Must we?
Janja: 
What? Afraid of water, cheetah?
Azaad: 
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 hops onto the log)
Bunga: 
"Zuka Zama!"
Fuli: 
(Sighs) Here we go.
Kion: 
Hang on, everybody.
All: 
Woah!
(The water moves the log)
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 nausea) (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.
Azaad: 
I do prefer my adventures to be less soggy, but I am pleased to having this adventure with you.
(Fuli and Azaad both get wet but smile at each other)
Bunga: 
Isn't this great? And look at all the waves up ahead!
Azaad: 
(Azaad looks worried again) Must we?
(The log goes down the waves)
(All screaming)
(Water splashes onto Anga and Ono)
Anga and Ono: 
(Yelp)
Kion: 
Looks like this is as far as we go.
Bunga: 
Aw, too bad. That was fun.
(Everyone hops off of the log)
Kion: 
What do you think, Azaad? Fast enough for you?
Azaad: 
Almost as fast as a cheetah.
Kion: 
Great. Now, let's keep going.
(Music starts)
(The scene transitions to sun set and everyone continues walking)
'Beau Black
¶Life has a way of circling around
(Janja and Bunga sleep on Beshte's back and Kion and Jasiri smile at each other)
¶Starting your day on different ground
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
¶(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
(The next day Azaad sees a birds nest in the way)
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to move the birds nest)
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Kion puts down the birds nest)
¶Yeah, you can push yourself
(Sand blows on to everyone but Kion roars the sand away)
¶Try something new
¶Go ahead and find your limits
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to move the sand away)
(Bunga gives Kion two thumbs up)
¶See what you can do
(Everyone walks in the marsh and Beshte gets stuck)
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
(Bunga tries to help Beshte but struggles)
Kion: 
(Roaring)
¶(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
(Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to help Beshte)
¶(As you move on) You don't slow down
(Bunga puts himself in snow pile)
(As you move on) There's still ways to go.
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion roars the snow off of Bunga and Kion knocks Bunga over)
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Everyone continues moving)
¶Yeah you go-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Music ends)
(Everyone makes it to 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 turns to Anga) Take a look?
(Anga flys above everyone)
Kion: 
(Roaring) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to make a hole in the Wall)
Anga: 
(Anga uses her vision and sees a Giant lake) Uh-oh. The Great Stone Wall is holding back a Great Big Lake! 
Kion: 
(Roaring)
Anga: 
Stop roaring! Stop roaring!
Kion: 
What?
(Water falls from the Giant Lake)
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa."
(All Gasp)
Kion: 
Everyone, stay behind me. I can handle this. (Roaring) (Kion tries to stop the water)
Bunga: 
Oh, good one, Kion. Now what do you do?
Kion: 
Not sure. But I don't think I can... Uh-oh (Roars)
Anga:
(Anga uses her vision and sees the klipspringers and hyraxes) 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)
Fuli: 
That leaves the klipspringers to us. Follow me! "Huwezi!"
Azaad: 
"Mibinament!"
(Fuli and Azaad go to help the Klipspringers) 
Janja: 
But, uh, shouldn't we be helping ourselves?
Jasiri: 
Janja, you're one of the good guys now. Come on.
Janja:
 All right, all right.
(Jasiri and Janja go to stop 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. 
(Anga puts Bunga down)
Bunga: 
"Zuka Zama." Hold still, hyraxes. Coming Up! up! up! up! (Bunga throws the hyraxes to Anga)
Anga: 
Coming down. (Anga picks up Bunga again)
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. Execpt you don't try eating everything you chase.
Jasiri:
(Rolls eyes)
Kion: 
(Roaring) Ono, any luck?
Ono: 
Yes, we have a plan, but we need you to keep roaring. 
Kion:
(Kion continues roaring) 
Ono: 
Beshte, now! Start pushing the rocks into the Roar's path!
Beshte: 
(Beshte pushes rocks up to fix the wall) (Grunts)
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.
Fuli: 
Right, come on.
(Everyone goes to help Kion, Beshte and Ono)
Kion: 
(Panting) Can't keep it up much longer. (Roaring)
Ono: 
(Ono sees the others coming to help) Hang on, Kion. Help's on the way.
Beshte: 
(Beshte lifts up more rocks) (Grunts)
(Everyone lifts up the rocks and works together to fix the wall)
(All grunting)
Bunga: 
(Bunga lifts up rocks) (Grunts)
Janja and Jasiri: 
(Janja and Jasiri lift up rocks) (Both grunting)
Ono: 
Okay, Kion, the rocks are in place. Now! It worked!
(The wall is fixed and Kion stops roaring)
(All cheering)
Kion: 
(Exhales) Thanks, everyone. 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.
(Everyone continues walking and they reach the Outlands)
Janja: 
Hey, this place looks familiar.
Jasiri: 
It does.
Azaad: 
Yes. We have reached the Outlands.
Anga: 
Yep. And Look.
(Everyone sees Pride Rock knowing they're almost home)
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 continues walking towards the Pride Lands)
(Chorus vocalizing)
