The Fall of Mizimu Grove/Transcript

(The Hippos are hanging out at the Watering Hole)
Beshte: 
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 moving in the water)
Basi:
Everyone, out of the water! Now!
(All grunting)
(The hippos get out of the water)
Beshte: 
(Beshte jumps into the water) "Twende Kiboko!"
Basi: 
Beshte? Beshte!
Beshte: 
(Beshte comes up with Kiazi on his back) It's okay, Dad. (Laughs) It's just little Kiazi! (Beshte flips Kiazi off his back into the water)
Kiazi: 
(Laughs) (Kiazi floats away)
Basi: 
(Sighs with relief)
(The rest of the Lion guard walks 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...
(Grass rustling)
Kion: 
(Kion sees something in the grass) Lion Guard! Something in the grass.
(Timon and Pumbaa come out of the bushes)
Timon: and Pumbaa: 
(Humming)
(The Lion Guard is in shocked)
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: 
(Humming)
(Timon and Pumbaa walk away and Makini comes up)
Makini: 
Lion Guard! Lion Guard!
Kion: 
Makini? What's wrong?
Makini: 
Wrong? Why would anything be wrong?
Fuli: 
(Fuli turns to Kion) 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 comes up to the Lion Guard and Makini) 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 to find Timon and Pumbaa)
(Timon and Pumbaa are seen walking and Kion walks behind them)
Timon: and Pumbaa: 
(Humming)
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 stops walking and turns to Kion)
Pumbaa: 
A show?
Timon: 
Well, why didn't you say so in the first place!
(The rest of the Lion Guard and Makini come up to Timon and Pumbaa)
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!
(The skinks are seen watching everyone)
Timon: 
Spread the word, kids! Nobody's gonna want to miss a show like this!
Shupavu: 
(Scoffs) Sounds like something Scar won't want to miss, either. (The skinks get offf the rocck)
(The scene transtions to the Outlands Volcano and the skinks go to 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 transitions to Mizimu Grove and Rafiki is seen talking to the Pride Landers)
Rafiki: 
Hello, Pride Landers! And welcome to Makini's mpando mpya!
(All cheering)
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! (Rafiki shows off his tree) It is much bigger now! (Laughs)
Simba: 
(Simba walks up to the rock that Rafiki and Makini are on) 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!

What about them?
(The rest of the Pride Landers show up to help)

This is what we trained for, everyone. Just tell us where you need us, Kion.
Simba: 
(Simba walks up 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: 
(Beshte is seen talking to Mtoto) Mtoto, find a place to hide.
Kion: 
We'll fight for what's right!
All: 
Pride Landers Unite!
(The Pride Landers spilt up to fight the Outlanders)

 Kion.
Kion: 
(Kion turns to Janja) Look around, Janja! You're losing!
Janja: 
Oh, yeah?
(Kion looks at the tree on fire)

Is that...

How could it be?
Simba: 
(Simba walks up to Scar) 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.
(Simba stares angrily at Scar)
Scar: 
First, we took Kilio Valley. 
(The elephants look sad)
Scar: 
Then we wrecked Big Springs. 
(The hippos look sad)
Scar: 
And now your precious Mizimu Grove is doomed! It's only a matter of time before all of the Pride Lands is mine!

(Laughs)

(Simba wipes away the Mark of Evil while everyone is in shocked) No. Not this time.

What do we do?

Panic and run! Panic and run!
(The zebras start to run)
 Zebras: 
(Neigh)

The zebra's right! Let's get out of here!

(Panic)

Elephants, stop!
Elephants: 
(Trumpets)

Come on, everyone!

(Kion walks up to the rest of the Lion Guard) Lion Guard, go calm the herds! I'll take care of the Outlanders.

You got it, Kion. 'Til the Pride Lands' end...
All: 
Lion Guard defend!
(Everyone but Kion goes after the Pride Landers)

Thanks, Dad. Now to make sure all the fires are out.

It looks like the damage has already been done.
Ma Tembo: 
(Ma Tembo walks up to Kion and 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 Pride Landers)
Makini: 
(Makini is seen crying) (Crying)
Rafiki: 
Makini? Are you okay?
Makini: 
Yes, but the whole grove is ruined!

Shawri, Makini. Be calm.
'Makini: 
Yes, Rafiki. Shawri.
(Timon and Pumbaa pops their heads out)
Pumbaa: 
Uh, doesn't anyone wanna see the big finish?
(The scene transitions to the rest of the Lion Guard who are chasing after the herds)
Fuli:
 Ono, do you see them?
Ono:
Affirmative! (Ono uses his vision and sees 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 runs after 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: 
 (Fuli stands in front of everyone) Everyone! Please! Stop, now!
(The sable antelope stop running)
Galagos: and Sable Antelopes: 
(Grunting)
Laini: 
(Screams)
(The antelopes knock Fuli off the cliff)
Bupu: 
(Gasps) Fuli? Fuli?
Fuli: 
(Fuli climbs the cliff and is fine) (Grunts) I'm fine. Just glad I remembered to say "please."
Beshte: 
(Beshte goes after the hippos and giraffes) Dad, you can stop now!
Basi: 
Huh? Okay, Beshte! If you say so.
(The hippos stop running)
All:
(Panting)
Basi: 
Thanks, son. I was getting tired.
Ono: 
(Ono flys and goes to calm the elephants) Everyone! Everyone! Why are you running? Nobody's chasing you!
Mtoto's Mom: 
Oh. How embarrassing. (Trumpets) Everyone, stop!
(All the elephants stop and Mtoto bumps into his mom)
Mtoto: 
(Grunts) Did you say, "Stop"?
Bunga: 
(Bunga jumps onto Thurston) "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! 
(The zebras stop running)
Thurston: 
(Chuckles) I always knew we would.
(Fuli brings the antelopes and galagos, while Bunga jumps off of Thurston)
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: 
(Kion looks worried) I...
Muhanga: 
What'll we do without Mizimu Grove?
Thurston: 
(Thurston is scared) What if our grazing ground is next?
Basi: 
Kion. Most importantly, why didn't you tell us Scar was back?
Kion: 
(Kion looks worried) I...
Simba: 
 (Simba walks up to everyone) Because he was following my orders.
(All gasp)
Simba: 
I asked the Lion Guard to keep Scar's return a secret.
(All gasp)
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. (Simba walks away)
(Everyone talks to their herds)
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 Mzizmu Grove at night and Kion)
Kion: 
So much destruction... Grandfather Mufasa?
Mufasa: 
(Mufasa's spirit appears) 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. (Mufasa disappears)
Kion: 
Thank you, Grandfather. What's that?m (Kion spots Makini's Mpando mpaya on the ground) "Heyvi kabisa!" I don't believe it.
(The scene transitions to the next morning all the animals are at Pride Rock and Simba waits to hear their decisions) 
Simba: 
I trust you've all made your decisions?
(All the animals look at each other)
Zebras: 
(Neigh)
Sable Antelopes: 
(Grunting)
Basi: 
The hippos have reached a decision.
Beshte: 
Dad?
Basi: 
It looks like...
Kion: 
(Kion walks up to the Pride Landers) 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. 
(The scene transitions and the Pride Landers walk back to Mizimu Grove)
Kion: 
Here.
Makini: 
(Gasps) (Makini picks up her Mpando Mpaya and hugs it) 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 walks up to the guard) 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: 
(Kion walks up to Bunga) 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.
(Slow music starts)
Fuli:
♪ Tujiinue
♪ Is all you've gotta say
(Makini plants her Mpando Mpaya)
♪ Tujiinue
♪ We'll lift ourselves up today
(Everyone listens to Fuli sing)
