==Transcript==
On a calm day in the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Acacia Grove.
“Is Nguruma doing okay, Kion?” Fuli asked.
Kion nodded.
“Makini gave him a poppy seed and some thyme for the shock. The comfrey poultice helped his paw pads heal.” Kion said.
“That's great.” Beshte said.
“Yeah, I'm so glad he's safe now.” Kion said.
“I'm glad Makini was there and took care of him.” Fuli said.
From his perch on Beshte's back, Ono suddenly cleared his throat.
“Mhina's coming towards us with Anga and Jasiri.” Ono said.
Immediately, Kion's expression brightened
He watched as Anga, Jasiri, and Mhina approached.
“Hi Kion.” Mhina said.
“Hi Mhina. I'm so glad you're here.” Kion said, his voice warm with affection.
“I'm glad I'm here too.” Mhina said warmly.
Jasiri cleared her throat pointedly.  
“Anga and I are here to help you handle the Outlanders too.” Jasiri said.
“We're glad you're both here, Jasiri.” Beshte said.
Anga cleared her throat.
“On the way over here, I saw King Jivin, Rani, Baliyo, Kenene, and Ullu at the watering hole border.” Anga said.
Kion exchanged a glance with Mhina and Fuli.
“Let's go see what's going on.” Kion said.
He began to lead the way to the Watering Hole.
When they arrived, they saw Jivin, Rani, Baliyo, Kenene, and Ullu settled down underneath an acacia tree.
Jivin glanced up as the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, and Jasiri approached.
“Lion Guard, I've come to speak with Simba and Nala.” Jivin said.
“Okay. We'll take you to Pride Rock, your majesty.” Kion said.
He began to lead the way to Pride Rock.
They didn't notice Shupavu and Njano spying on them from a tree branch.
When they arrived, they saw Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Makini, Nguruma, Zazu, and Rafiki settled down outside the den.
Simba glanced up as the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, Jasiri, Jivin, Rani, Baliyo, Kenene, and Ullu approached.
“It's a pleasure to see all of you here.” Nala said.
“What's the trouble?” Kovu asked.
“Has something happened at the Tree of Life?” Simba added.
Kion cleared his throat.
“Jivin wants to talk to you and Mom.” Kion said.
Simba and Nala exchanged a glance.
Jivin cleared his throat.
“We've heard about the recent Outlander attacks, and Rani and Baliyo insisted upon coming here today to help the Guard.” Jivin said.
“Jivin also wishes to speak to you about those attacks.” Ullu said.
“Extra paws will be appreciated. Rani and Baliyo can join today's patrol.” Kion said.
“Excellent. While they're patrolling, we can speak, Jivin.” Simba said.
“All right.” Jivin said.
He glanced at Rani and Baliyo.
“You two be sure to assist the Guard. Help them handle the Outlanders.” Jivin said.
“We will, Dad.” Baliyo said.
“We won't let you down.” Rani said.
“I know you won't, princess.” Jivin said.
Behind Jivin, Makini was embracing Kenene tightly.
Jivin watched as Kion led the Guard, Anga, Jasiri, Mhina, Rani, and Baliyo into the Pride Lands.
“Come inside, Jivin. You can have some fresh-kill, and we can discuss the attacks.” Simba said.
Jivin nodded.
“Thank you, Simba.” Jivin said.
Simba watched as Makini moved over, and helped Nguruma to his paws.
He led Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Zazu, Jivin, Kenene, Ullu, Makini, Nguruma, and Rafiki into the den.
Meanwhile, in the Outlands, Shupavu and Njano had met up with Ushari outside the volcano.
“We have news, Ushari.” Njano said.
“What news is this?” Ushari asked.
“The king of the Tree of Life, his majordomo, royal mjuzi, and his children are in the Pride Lands.” Shupavu said.
“Are they now?” Ushari asked.
Njano nodded.
“Yep. That's right. We're sure Kion will allow the lions to join the Lion Guard on patrol.” Njano said.
“Hmm. Scar will want to hear about this. Come on.” Ushari said.
He led them into the volcano.
“What news, skinks?” Scar asked.
“The king of the Tree of Life, his majordomo and mjuzi, and his children are in the Pride Lands.” Njano said.
“Hmm. Interesting. Where are they now?” Scar asked.
“Last we saw, the Lion Guard was taking them to Pride Rock.” Shupavu said.
“Shupavu, fetch Kiburi and his crocodiles. They will stage an attack for my great-nephew and his Lion Guard to deal with.” Scar said.
“Where will the attack be?” Shupavu asked.
“It will be at Urembo River.” Scar answered.
“You got that, Shupavu?” Ushari asked.
Shupavu nodded.
She and Njano headed out of the volcano.
“Kion and his Lion Guard will soon find that the stakes are higher, much higher.” Scar said.
Meanwhile, Jivin, Kenene, Ullu, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Makini, Zazu, Nguruma, and Rafiki had settled down inside the den.
“If it comes down to a battle with the Outlanders, the Night Pride will come and help fight. We won't let you face them alone.” Jivin said.  
“Thank you, Jivin.” Simba said.
Beside him, Nala cleared her throat.
“Would you like some fresh-kill, Jivin?” Nala asked.
“Certainly. Thank you, Nala.” Jivin said.
Behind them, Makini and Kenene were settled down in a mossy nest.
“Uncle Rafiki told me about a rare mystical herb, sis.” Makini said.
“What's the herb?” Kenene asked.
“It's called the Blazing Star. It used to grow in the Pride Lands. He showed me a painting of it at his tree.” Makini said brightly.
Kenene chuckled.
“He taught me about that herb too, when I was his apprentice.” Kenene said.
“Really?” Makini asked.
Kenene nodded.
“I'm so proud that you're training with him now. You will be an excellent mjuzi.” Kenene said.
“I hope I'm as good as you.” Makini said.
Kenene leaned over, and ruffled Makini's mane.
“You will be, sis.” Kenene said.
Meanwhile, the Guard, Anga, Mhina, Rani, and Baliyo had finished a patrol in Mizimu Grove.
“It's been a quiet day so far.” Beshte said.
“You're right, Beshte.” Fuli said.
Suddenly, Ono spoke up from his perch on Beshte's back.
“Kiburi's Float is attacking Sarabi at Urembo River.” Ono said.
Kion exchanged a glance with Mhina.
“Come on, let's go save her.” Kion said.
He led the way to Urembo River.
When they arrived, Kion bounded forward.
“You know where the Outlands ends, Kiburi.” Kion said.
Kiburi scoffed.
“Soon, the Outlands will stretch all the way to Pride Rock.” Kiburi said.
Tamka and Nduli stalked forward to stand beside Kiburi.
“You have once chance to leave peacefully. Otherwise, prepare for a fight.” Kion said.
“We aren't going anywhere. Crocs do not obey orders from lions.” Kiburi said.
“Some do.” Bunga muttered from behind Kion.
Kion glanced behind him at the Guard, Jasiri, Mhina, Anga, Rani, and Baliyo.
“Fuli, you, Bunga, and Beshte keep Nai Nai safe. Rani, Jasiri, Baliyo, and Anga take on Tamka and Nduli. Ono, Mhina, and I will deal with Kiburi.” Kion said.
“You got it, Kion.” Beshte said.
Sarabi cleared her throat.
“Let me help fight, Kion. I don't need protection.” Sarabi said.
“Okay. You can help.” Kion said.
“What're we waiting for?” Bunga asked.
“Until the Pride Lands end!” Kion called.
“Lion Guard, defend!” Beshte, Ono, Fuli, and Bunga chorused.
Mhina pressed himself close to Kion's side.
“I'm beside you.” Mhina said.
“Thanks, Mhina.” Kion said.
Fuli lunged forward, knocking Tamka backwards, and sending him flying towards a baobab tree. Anga, Rani, Jasiri, and Baliyo rushed forward.
Jasiri and Rani flung themselves at Nduli, and sent him toppling towards the riverbank. Sarabi launched herself towards him, pinning him to the ground, and growling.
Kion flung himself towards Kiburi, knocking him to the ground.
“You need to give up now, Kiburi. This isn't a fight you can win.” Kion said,
“You don't scare us. We're stronger and faster than you young ones.” Kiburi said.
“There's eleven of us, and three of you. Not an even fight on your end.” Ono said.
“Still. We can beat you.” Kiburi said.
He thrust upwards, flinging Kion off of him. Instantly, Mhina lunged forward, and kicked Kiburi, sending him flying towards an acacia tree.
“Everyone! Regroup!” Kion called.
Immediately, Fuli, Anga, Sarabi, Jasiri, Ono, Bunga, Beshte, Rani, and Baliyo moved to gather behind him. Mhina hesitated, glancing at Kion, before joining them.
“You've already been beaten eleven on three. You have one last chance to give up, and go back to the Ouflands.” Kion said.
“We aren't going anywhere, Kion.” Kiburi said.
Kion unsheathed his claws, and sank them into the earth underneath him.
He braced himself, and performed the Roar.
It sent Kiburi and his crocodiles flying backwards.
Kion watched them stumble towards the border.
He glanced at Sarabi.
“Are you okay?” Kion asked.
Sarabi nodded
“Thanks, Lion Guard. That was a good fight.” Sarabi said.
“You're welcome.” Fuli said.
Kion moved forward, and rubbed his head against Sarabi's foreleg.
“Do you want to come home with us?” Kion asked.
Sarabi shook her head.
“No thanks, honey. I'm going to hunt in in Ndefu Grove until moonhigh.” Sarabi said.
“Okay. Have a good hunt.” Kion said.
He watched as Sarabi headed towards Ndefu Grove.
Fuli cleared her throat.
“I need to go. See you all tomorrow.” Fuli said.
“Bye, Fuli.” Beshte said.
He watched as Fuli dashed off.
Bunga cleared his throat.
“I'd better go too. Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa will be expecting me.” Bunga said.
“See you tomorrow, Bunga.” Kion said.
He watched as Bunga began to head towards Hakuna Matata Falls.
Jasiri cleared her throat.
“I'd better get home. Mom and Dad will need help getting Tunu and Wema settled for the night.” Jasiri said.
“Bye, Jasiri.” Mhina said.
He watched as Jasiri headed towards Chakula Plains.
Anga cleared her throat.
“I need to go too. Bye guys!” Anga said.
“See you tomorrow, Anga.” Ono said.
Beshte and Ono exchanged a glance.
“Want to come back to Big Springs with me, Ono?” Beshte asked.
Ono nodded.
“See you later, guys.” Kion said.
He watched as Beshte and Ono began to head towards Big Springs.
Mhina moved over, wrapping his tail around Kion's flank.
Behind them, Rani cleared her throat pointedly.
“We'd better be getting back to Pride Rock. Dad's probably ready to leave.” Rani said.
“Okay.” Kion said.
He began to lead the way to Pride Rock.
When they arrived, they saw Jivin, Kenene, Makini, Ullu, Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Nguruma, and Rafiki settled down outside the den.
Simba glanced up as Kion, Mhina, Rani, and Baliyo approached.
“Did you have a good patrol?” Simba asked.
Kion nodded.
“We defeated Kiburi's Float. Nai Nai's hunting in Ndefu Grove until moonhigh.” Kion said.
“Great job, Kion.” Kiara said warmly.
“Thanks, Kiara.” Kion said
Jivin cleared his throat.
“We'd better be getting back to the Tree of Life. Maya's expecting us.” Jivin said.
Simba nodded.
“Safe travels, Jivin.” Simba said.
Jivin glanced at Ullu, Kenene, Rani, and Baliyo.
“Ready to go, everyone?” Jivin asked.
Ullu, Kenene, Rani, and Baliyo nodded.
“We're ready, your majesty.” Ullu said.
Kion cleared his throat.
“See you soon.” Kion said.
“Bye, Kion.” Rani answered.
“Thanks for letting us patrol with you.” Baliyo added.
“You're welcome.” Kion said.
Makini stepped forward, and embraced Kenene tightly.
“I love you, sis.” Makini said.
“I love you too. Give my love to Mom, Dad, and Xolani.” Kenene said.
“I will.” Makini said.
She watched as Jivin began to lead Ullu, Kenene, Rani, and Baliyo into the Pride Lands.
Rafiki cleared his throat.
“Come, Makini. I'll walk you home to Ukuni Woods.” Rafiki said.
“Thanks, Uncle Rafiki.” Makini said.
Kion watched as Rafiki and Makini headed into the Pride Lands.
Behind him, Simba began to lead Nala, Kovu, and Kiara inside the den.
Mhina came up to settle down beside Kion.
“I consider patrolling and fighting beside you to be one of my greatest honors. I hope to enjoy that honor for many seasons.” Mhina said.
Kion moved closer, until his pelt was brushing against Mhina's.
“I'm so proud to consider you an ally to the Guard. I hope you'll become a full member one day.” Kion said.
“I hope so too.” Mhina said.
He and Kion entwined tails, and gazed up at the stars.
“Do you have to go home now?” Kion asked.
Mhina shook his head.
“I can stay for a little while longer.” Mhina said.
He pressed himself against Kion's pelt, feeling Kion relax against him.
“This feels nice.” Mhina said.
“Yeah, it does.” Kion said.
He leaned his head against Mhina's shoulder, and closed his eyes.
