The Fall of Mizimu Grove/Transcript

[Basi's Pod is hanging out at Big Springs]
Beshte: 
[Beshte walks up to Basi] Everything okay, Dad?
Basi: 
So far. But with all the recent attacks from the Outlanders, any unexpected sight or sound has us spooked.
(Water Bubbling)
[The hippos see something in the water]
Basi: 
Everyone, out of the water! Now!
(All grunting)
Beshte: 
Twende Kiboko! [Beshte dives into the water]
Basi: 
Beshte? Beshte!
Beshte: 
[Beshte picks up Kiazi] It's okay, Dad. (Laughs) It's just little Kiazi! [Beshte puts Kiazi back into the water]
Kiazi:
(Laughs)
Basi: 
(Sighs with relief)
[The rest of the Lion Guard shows up]
Kion: 
Basi? Beshte? Everything okay?
Basi:
Uh... (Chuckles) Sorry, Lion Guard. That was my fault. There's no real danger.
Kion: 
Oh, that's okay. Everyone in the Pride Lands has been on edge lately... [Kion sees something moving in the grass]
(Grass rustling)
Kion: 
Lion Guard! Something in the grass.
[Timon and Pumbaa show up]
Timon and Pumbaa: 
(Both humming)
Bunga: 
Uncle Timon? Uncle Pumbaa?
Pumbaa:
Oh, hey, kids! Uh... What are you doin' here?
Timon: 
Pumbaa! No time for chitchat. We're on the trail of a slug-fest. Remember?
Pumbaa: 
Oh, right. Later, kids!
Timon and Pumbaa: 
(Both humming) [Timon and Pumbaa walks away]
Makini: 
[Makini shows up] Lion Guard! Lion Guard!
Kion: 
Makini? What's wrong?
Makini: 
Wrong? Why would anything be wrong?
Fuli: 
Hmm. It's gonna be one of those days.
Makini: 
I just wanted to invite you all to my Mpando mpya!
Bunga: 
Empanada what?
Ono: 
Mpando mpya! It's the planting of a new baobab tree in Mizimu Grove!
Makini: 
Yes! Every baobab tree in Mizimu Grove was planted by a Royal Mijuzi while they were training. And tonight I get to plant mine!
Beshte: 
Poa!
Fuli: 
Congratulations, Makini.
Ono: 
Indeed! An mpando mpya doesn't happen very often!
Basi: 
[Basi walks up to the Lion Guard] Sure doesn't. I remember my dad telling me about Rafiki's.
Makini: 
Ooh! Basi! You and your pod are welcome to come too!
Basi: 
We'd love to. I'm sure it would lift the whole pod's spirits.
Kion:
Actually, it sounds like a chance to lift everyone's spirits!
Fuli: 
Kion?
Kion: 
We should invite everyone to Makini's mpando mpya!
Bunga: 
You really think everyone's gonna want to watch Makini plant a tree?
Kion: 
If we turn into a big event they will. Hang on! [Kion goes into the grass and finds Timon and Pumbaa]
Timon and Pumbaa: 
(Both huming)
Kion: 
Timon! Pumbaa! I have a favor to ask.
Timon: 
Not now, kid. Kind of busy here.
Kion: 
It's about you two putting on a show at Mizimu Grove.
[Timon and Pumbaa turn around]
Pumbaa: 
A show?
Timon: 
Well, why didn't you say so in the first place!
Kion: 
It's for Makini's mpando mpya. I think if we turn it into a big event, it might cheer everybody up. Maybe you two could start it off with a song?
Pumbaa: 
Ooh! That sounds like fun!
Timon: 
You said it, Pumbaa! Nothin' like a song and dance to liven things up!
Kion: 
Then you'll do it?
Pumbaa: 
Of course we will!
Makini: 
Ooh! This is going to be so amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Timon: 
Spread the word, kids! Nobody's gonna want to miss a show like this!
[The skinks are seen spying on the Lion Guard]
Shupavu: 
(Scoffs) Sounds like something Scar won't want to miss, either.
[The scene transitions to the Outlands Volcano and the skinks talk to Scar]
Scar:
An mpando mpya. (Laughs) Even I've never been to one. At least, not yet.
Shupavu: 
And the Lion Guard is personally inviting animals from all over the Pride Lands!
Scar: 
Hmm. So. Lots of Pride Landers gathered in one place at the Lion Guard's request. Surely they won't object to a few uninvited guests. And one very special guest! (Laughs!)
[The scene cuts to Mizimu Grove and the Pride Landers are ready to watch the show]
Rafiki: 
Hello, Pride Landers! And welcome to Makini's mpando mpya!
(All Cheer)
Rafiki: 
As you know, every tree in Mizimu Grove has been planted by a Royal Mijuzi. In fact, the tree I planted is right over there! It is much bigger now! (Laughs)
Simba: 
Today the Circle of Life continues, as Makini plants her baobab tree. And, to help us celebrate this occasion, two very dear friends of mine have agreed to perform a song. And so, without further ado, please welcome Timon and Pumbaa! 
(All Cheer)

Janja: 
Okay. We all know the plan. Crocs on the left, jackals on the right, hyenas up the middle. Drive 'em towards that big rock at the other end.
Chungu:
(Laughs) This'll be a show they'll never forget!
Janja: 
Right. Now let's go!
[The Lion Guard continues dancing and Bunga circles around]
(Song Ends)
(Hyenas Laughing)
[The Lion Guard stops dancing]

Hyenas! [Kion faces off agaisnt Janja]
Janja: 
Heya, Lion Guard. Hope we aren't interrupting.
Hyenas: 
(Laughing)
Ono: 
It's more than just hyenas! We've got crocs and jackals, too!
Kion:
Fuli, Ono, crocs! Beshte, Bunga, jackals! I'll take the hyenas!
Ono: 
What about them?
[The rest of the Pride Landers gather to fight]
Ma Tembo: 
This is what we trained for, everyone. Just tell us where you need us, Kion.
Simba: 
[Simba stands next to Kion] All of us.
Kion:
Hippos with Beshte. Galagos and antelopes with Fuli and Ono. Elephants, help Bunga protect the rest of the herds. Dad, we'll take the hyenas.
Beshte: 
Mtoto, find a place to hide.
[Mtoto goes to hide] 
Kion: 
We'll fight for what's right!
All: 
Pride Landers Unite!
[The Pride Landers go to fight the Outlanders]
Pumbaa: 
Timon, what do we do?
Timon: 
Only one thing to do, Pumbaa. Keep singing!
Pumbaa: 
Oh, right! The show must go on!

Chungu and Cheezi:
(Whimpering, screaming) [Cheezi and Chungu chase a young aardvark]
Simba: 
[Simba stops the hyenas] Going somewhere?
Cheezi: 
Uh, yeah! This way!
Chungu:
Cheezi! Wait for me!
[Simba chases after Cheezi and Chungu]
(Zebras neigh)
Hyenas: 
(Growling) 
[Nne and Tano go after Makini]
Makini: 
[Makini climbs a tree and drops her mpando mpaya] (Scream)
[Bunga grabs onto Goigoi's tail]
Goigoi: 
Let go, ya pesky varmint!
Bunga: 
(Straining effort) Okay! [Bunga lets go of Goigoi's tail]
Goigoi: 
[Goigoi bumps into a tree] (Groans)
Makini: 
[Makini hits Goigoi with her staff] That's what you get for spoiling my big night!
Rafiki: 
(Laughs) Well done, Makini.
Makini: 
Rafiki, look out!
[Rafiki flips a crocodile with his staff]
Ma Tembo: 
[Ma Tembo chases Reirei and hits her with her staff] Get outta here, jackal! (Trumpets)
Thurston: 
I do say! I've never seen a trunk do that!
Kiburi: 
[Kiburi fights Fuli] (Hissing)
Laini: 
Watch out, Fuli! (Battle cry)
[Laini and Bupu jump on Kiburi and then Fuli attacks him]
Ono: 
[Ono sees fire falling from the sky] Oh, Kion, look!
Kion: 
Heyvi kabisa! Beshte, fire!
Beshte: 
Got it, Kion! Hippos with me!
Timon and Pumbaa:

[Kion watches as the Pride Landers fight the Outlanders]
Janja: 
Kion. 
Kion:
Look around, Janja! You're losing!
Janja: 
Oh, yeah?
[Kion looks up at Rafiki's Tree]
(Fire blazes)
Makini: 
Oh, no! Rafiki, your tree!
[Rafiki's tree breaks and Scar pops out]
Scar: 
(Laughs)
Timon and Pumbaa: 
[Timon and Pumbaa hide behind a rock] (Both yelp)
Laini: 
[Laini hides behind Bupu's ear] (Whimpers)
Ma Tembo:
Is that...
Basi: 
How could it be?
Simba: 
Scar.
Scar: 
That's right, Simba! You never thought you'd see me again, did you? (LAUGHS)
Simba:
What do you want?
Scar: 
What do I want? Ah, Simba, Simba. Always so naive. First, we took Kilio Valley. Then we wrecked Big Springs. And now your precious Mizimu Grove is doomed! It's only a matter of time before all of the Pride Lands is mine! (Laughs) [Scar disappears]
Simba: 
[Simba covers the Mark of Evil with dirt] No. Not this time.
Laini: 
What do we do?
Thurston: 
Panic and run! Panic and run!
(Zebras Neigh) [The zebras all panic and run]
Bupu: 
The zebra's right! Let's get out of here!
Janja:
(Laughs)
(All Panic)
Mtoto: 
Wait for me!
[The Pride Landers but Ma Tembo panic and run]
Ma Tembo: 
(Trumpets) Elephants, stop!
(Elephant trumpets)
Basi: 
Come on, everyone!
Kion:
Lion Guard, go calm the herds! I'll take care of the Outlanders.
Fuli: 
You got it, Kion. 'Til the Pride Lands' end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
[The Lion Guard go after the Pride Landers]
Janja: 
(Scoffs) They've all run away! Mizimu Grove is ours!
Kion: 
I don't think so! Now that everyone's gone, I can do this! (Roars) [Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blast the Outlanders away]
Simba: 
Well done, Kion.
Kion: 
Thanks, Dad. Now to make sure all the fires are out.
Simba: 
It looks like the damage has already been done.
Ma Tembo: 
[Ma Tembo walks up to Simba] Simba. We need to talk.
Simba: 
Yes. I know. Ma Tembo and I can take out the fires, Kion. Go help the rest of the Guard calm the herds.
[Kion goes after the herds]
Makini: 
(Crying)
Rafiki: 
[Rafiki walks up to Makini] Makini? Are you okay?
Makini: 
Yes, but the whole grove is ruined!
Rafiki: 
Shawri, Makini. Be calm.
Makini: 
Yes, Rafiki. Shawri.
[Timon and Pumbaa pop their heads out]
Pumbaa: 
Uh, doesn't anyone wanna see the big finish?
[The scene transitions to another part of the Pride Lands and the Lion Guard chases the herds]
Fuli: 
Ono, do you see them?
Ono: 
Affirmative! [Ono zooms in on the herds] Most of them are straight ahead. But the zebras are veering left. Hapana! And the antelope are running right toward Poromoko Crevasse!
Fuli: 
That's not good! Beshte! Stop the hippos!
Beshte: 
You got it.
Fuli: 
Ono, calm the elephants!
Ono: 
On it.
Fuli: 
Bunga! Zebras! I'll go after the antelopes.
Bunga: 
Zuka Zama!
Fuli: 
Huwezi! [Fuli goes to warn Bupu] Bupu! You have to stop!
Bupu: 
I don't take orders from you!
Laini: 
Take her orders! Take her orders!
Fuli: 
You're about to run off a cliff!
Bupu and Laini: 
We are?
Fuli: 
Everyone! Please! Stop, now!
Galagos and Sable Antelopes: 
(Grunting) [Bupu accidentally knocks Fuli off]
Laini: 
(Screams)
Bupu: 
(Gasps) Fuli? Fuli?
Fuli: 
[Fuli climbs up safley] (Grunts) I'm fine. Just glad I remembered to say "please."
Beshte: 
[Beshte goes after the hippos] Dad, you can stop now!
Basi: 
Huh? Okay, Beshte! If you say so.
All: 
(Panting)
[Basi's pod stops running]
Basi: 
Thanks, son. I was getting tired.
Ono: 
[Ono goes after the elephants] Everyone! Everyone! Why are you running? Nobody's chasing you!
Mtoto's Mom: 
Oh. How embarrassing. (Trumpets) Everyone, stop!
[Ma Tembo's herd stops running]
Mtoto: 
[Mtoto bumps into his mother] (Grunts) Did you say, "Stop"?
Bunga: 
[Bunga jumps onto Thurston's back] Zuka Zama! Whoa, zebra-deebras! You don't have to run anymore!
Thurston: 
We don't? Why not?
Bunga: 
Uh, 'cause you won the race.
Thurston: 
We did? Well, did you hear that? We won! [Thurston's herd stops running] (Chuckles) I always knew we would
Ono: 
Here comes Fuli with the antelopes and galagos.
Kion: 
[Kion walks up to everyone] Lion Guard? How'd it go?
Beshte: 
Looks like everybody's okay!
Bupu: 
Okay? No, we're not okay!
Laini: 
Was that really Scar in the flames?
Muhangus: 
How is that even possible?
Kion: 
Well, it's kind of hard to explain.
Bunga: 
Kind of impossible!
Twiga: 
Is Scar behind all the Outlanders' attacks?
Mtoto's Mom: 
And the fires?
Bupu: 
Is that why you asked us all to defend the Pride Lands? Why we trained together?
Kion: 
I...
Muhanga: 
What'll we do without Mizimu Grove?
Thurston: 
What if our grazing ground is next?
Basi: 
Kion. Most importantly, why didn't you tell us Scar was back?
Kion: 
I...
Simba: 
[Simba walks up to everyone] Because he was following my orders.
(All gasps)
Simba: 
I asked the Lion Guard to keep Scar's return a secret.
(All gasps)
Simba: 
I was afraid if you knew about Scar, you would all panic.
Fuli: 
He was right about that.
Ma Tembo: 
[Ma Tembo walks up to everyone] I've already told the King I don't agree with his decision. But I understand his reasons. He was afraid we wouldn't feel safe in the Pride Lands. And that we'd want to leave.
Bupu: 
Of course we'd want to leave!
Laini: 
Why wouldn't we?
Simba: 
It is my duty to protect all Pride Landers. I cannot do that if you are not in the Pride Lands.
Basi: 
As leader of the hippos, it is my duty to protect my pod, whether that's in the Pride Lands or somewhere else.
Beshte: 
Somewhere else?
Simba: 
You're right, Basi. I never want to lose a Pride Lander. But I will always respect your decision. Including the decision to leave. This is something every herd must decide for themselves. And you'll need time. Come to Pride Rock tomorrow morning. You can tell me your decision then.
[The herds all talk to each other]
Bupu: 
There's nothing to discuss.
Ma Tembo: 
I want to hear from each of you.
Basi: 
Who thinks we should stay?
Bunga: 
What do you think they're talkin' about?
Fuli: 
What should we do, Kion?
Kion: 
Nothing else we can do. It's up to the herds now. Everyone, go get some rest. I'll see you at Pride Rock in the morning. 
[The scene transitions to Mizimu Grove at night]
Kion:
So much destruction... Grandfather Mufasa?
Mufasa: 
[Mufasa's spirit shows up] Yes, Kion, I'm here.
Kion: 
Grandfather, I'm worried. Things have been bad since Scar returned. But I never thought it would be so bad that the Pride Landers would want to leave. I know they just want to protect their herds, but I wanna protect them, too. I guess I feel like I failed.
Mufasa: 
Your ability to understand the Pride Landers, even when it's difficult, makes you a good leader.
Kion: 
But I can't lead them if they aren't here. What am I suppose to do now?
Mufasa: 
Even on the darkest day, Kion, you can find hope.
Kion: 
Thank you, Grandfather. What's that? [Kion finds Makini's Mpando Mpaya] Heyvi kabisa! I don't believe it.
[The scene transitions to the next day at Pride Rock]
Simba: 
[Simba walks out and looks at the herds] I trust you've all made your decisions?
(Zebras Neigh)
Sable Antelopes: 
(Grunting)
Basi: 
The hippos have reached a decision.
Beshte: 
Dad?
Basi: 
It looks like...
Kion: 
[Kion walks up] Pride Landers! Wait!
Simba: 
Kion?
Kion: 
Everyone, please. If you decide to leave, I understand. But before you do, there's something I'd like to show you. 
[Kion takes the herds to Mizimu Grove]
Kion:
Here.
Makini: 
(Gasps) [Makini picks up her plant] Oh!
Kion: 
[Kion smiles at Makini] Makini's tiny sapling survived the attack on Mizimu Grove. And if it survived here, there's no reason we all can't. If we stay together, we'll be stronger. Yes, Scar has returned. And I know you're scared. But the last time Scar was around, [Kion stands next to his friends] there wasn't a Lion Guard. There is now. And we're here to protect you. Even on the darkest day, there's hope.
Basi: 
Kion's right. We're stronger if we stay together. We do have hope. The hippos are here to stay.
Beshte: 
Poa.
Ma Tembo: 
So are the elephants! (Trumpets)
Twiga: 
Giraffes too!
Thurston:
As are the zebras.
Muhangus: 
And the aaradvarks.
Laini: 
Count the galagos in! [Laini knocks on Bupu's head]
Bupu: 
(Sighs) The antelopes will be staying as well.
Simba: 
I'm happy to hear that.
Bunga: 
Uh, what do we do now?
Rafiki: 
[Rafiki pokes Bunga with his staff] What else, honey badger? We have Makini's Mpando mpya!
Makini: 
Ooh, can we? Right now?
Simba: 
I can't think of a better way to celebrate this moment.
(All Cheer)
Kion: 
Too bad Timon and Pumbaa aren't here to sing their song.
Bunga: 
They're still at Hakuna Matata Falls. Somethin' about needin' beauty rest?
Fuli: 
I think I can help you out there [Soft music plays].♪ Tujiinue♪ Is all you've gotta say
[Makini plants her Mpando Mpaya and Rafiki puts his hand on her shoulder]
Fuli:
