The Underground Adventure/Transcript

(The Lion Guard hear Tiifu and Zuri calling from inside Pride Rock) 
Tiifu: 
Lion Guard!
Zuri:
 Lion Guard!
Tiifu: and Zuri: 
Help! Help!
(The Lion Guard runs to Pride Rock)
Beshte: 
That's Tiifu and Zuri.
Kion: 
Sounds like they're in trouble. Ono? See anything?
Ono: 
Negative. The calls are coming from inside Pride Rock.
Kion: 
Let's check it out. Come on.
Tiifu: and Zuri: 
(Wailing)
(The Lion Guard comes and the scene transitions to inside of Pride Rock)
Kion: 
Tiifu, Zuri. What's wrong?
Zuri: 
What's wrong? Look at us.
Tiifu: 
Our fur won't lay straight. It's too hot and dry around here.
Ono: 
Well, it is the dry season.
Zuri: 
But it's not just our fur. Our paws are cracked, our noses are scaly. We look horrible.
Fuli: 
Seriously?
(Kiara and Nala walk into Pride Rock)
Kiara: 
Oh, no. I told you two not to call the Lion Guard for this.
Zuri: 
But, Kiara...
Nala: 
Ladies. The Guard is only for real emergencies. Not fur emergencies. Understand?
Zuri: 
Sorry.
Tiifu: 
Yes, Your Majesty.
Beshte: 
Maybe you should try the warm mud pots at the edge of the Pride Lands Us hippos love 'em when the weather's too dry.
Ono:
Mud can be very moisturizing.
Zuri: 
That's perfect. We'll go to the mud pots.
Tiifu: 
You have to come, too, Kiara. We never see you anymore.
Zuri: 
Yeah. You're always so busy with boring Royal Family stuff.
Nala: 
"Boring Royal Family stuff"?
Kiara: 
Like helping the Pride Landers deal with the threat of Scar?
Tiifu: 
Exactly.
Zuri: 
And it'd be good for you, Kiara. I didn't want to say it, but you're looking a little frizzy yourself.
Kiara: 
(Kiara turns to face Nala) Mom?
Nala: 
The edge of the Pride Lands isn't as safe as it used to be. But if you had an escort from the Lion Guard...
Bunga: 
I'd be happy to take Kiara to the mud pots. No one'll keep her safer than me.
Nala: 
I was thinking more about Kion.
Bunga:
Kion can come too. That'll make if more fun (Bunga puts his arm around Kion)
Kion: 
We wouldn't be going to have fun, Bunga. But you'd definitely be safer with two Lion Guard members. I'll go.
Kiara:
Thanks, Kion.
Tiifu: and Zuri: 
(Tiifu and Zuri get all excited) Girls' Day Away. Girls' Day Away.
Kion: 
Fuli, Beshte, Ono keep up the daily patrol. Looks like Bunga and I are going on a Girls' Day Away.
Fuli: 
Better you than me
(The scene transitions to the Mud Pots and Kiara, Tiifu, Zuri, Kion and Bunga get ready to in)
Bunga: 
(Bunga jumps into the mud) "Zuka Zama!"
Zuri: 
Ew! Don't get us muddy.
Bunga:
Why not? I thought you wanted to get muddy.
Tiifu: 
Not like that. We came to relax in the mud, not splash around.
Bunga: 
But splashing's more fun. Look.
Kion: 
Bunga come on. We're not here to have fun. We're here to keep watch.
Bunga: 
Okay, I'll keep watch. (Gasps) Is that Scar?
Kion: 
(Kion looks for Scar) Where?
Bunga: 
(Bunga throws mud at Kion) Gotcha!
Kion: 
Oh it's on!'
Kion: and Bunga:
(Bunga and Kion throws mud at each other) (Laughing)
Tiifu: 
Why do boys like to be so messy?
Kiara: 
Messy can be fun.
Zuri: 
Mmm, I don't think so. Relaxing and pampering ourselves is fun. Come on, Kiara. You'll see. (Zuri puts a flower in around Kiara's ear)
Kion: 
(Giggles)
Bunga: 
Yeah.
(Kiara, Bunga and Kion jumps from rock to rock)
(Exhales)
(Kiara relaxes with Tiifu and Zuri. Meanwhile Kion and Bunga jump from a tree and splashes mud onto the girls.)
All:
(Gasps)
Kion:
 Woah!
Kion and Bunga: 
(Laughing)
(Kiara sneaks up and scares Bunga)
Bunga: 
(Screams)
Kion and Kiara: 
(Both laughing)
Muhangus: 
(Muhangus comes out of his den) Hey Hey Hey! Keep it down out here. Some of us are trying to sleep.
Kion: 
Sorry, Muhangus.
Kiara: 
We didn't know you were here.
Muhangus:
Course not.  'Cause why would an aardvark be anywhere near an aardvark hole? (Muhangus goes back to the hole)
Bunga: 
(Bunga throws mud at Kion) (Whispers) Gotcha.
Kion: 
(Kion throws mud at Bunga) (Whispers) Gotcha back.
Kiara: 
(Kiara joins her friends) I think I'll stick with you two. Quieter fun.
Kion: and Bunga: 
(Off screen) (Laughing)
(Shupavu and and Njano watch from a rock)
(The scene transitions to the Outlands Volcano and the skinks go to talk to Scar)
Scar: 
Kion and his sister?
Njano: 
At the edge of the Pride Lands.
Shupavu: 
And they're surrounded by dry plants and grass. One spark is all it would take to send the whole place up in flames.
Njano: 
And half the Royal Family with it.
Scar: 
(Laughs) Then why stop at a single spark? Njano, fetch me a vulture.
Njano: 
You got it, Scar. (Njano walks away)
Shupavu: 
A vulture?
Scar: 
Yes. We're going to deliver Kion and his companions a little gift... Of... Fire.
(The scene transitions back to the Mud Pots and, Kiara, Tiifu, Zuri and Bunga are seen relaxing in the mud with leafs on their eyes)
Tiifu: 
Mmm... This feels great.
Kiara: 
So relaxing.
Zuri: 
It is nice.
Bunga: 
Yeah. It really is. Sure you don't wanna try this, Kion? It's un-Bunga-lievable.
(Wind blowing)
(Mzingo flys over Kion's head)
Kion: 
Do you hear that?
Bunga: 
Nope. I don't hear anything.
Kion: 
I think we should go.
Zuri: 
But we can't leave until the mud masks dry properly. Spa rule.
Bunga: 
(Bunga puts up one finger) Spa rule, Kion. Nothin' we can do.
Kion: 
Something's not right, Bunga.
Bunga:
Ah, you worry too much.
(Mzingo flys and drops fire)
Kion: 
Fire!
(All gasping)
Kion: 
We have to get out of here. Come on. Move away! Get back. Hurry!
(The gang all tries to get out but gets trapped)
Tiifu:
What do we do? We're surrounded.
Kion: 
Bunga. Fire break.
Bunga: 
Got it.
Kion: 
Kiara, Tiifu, Zuri. Take cover in the mud.
Kiara: 
No way. I'm helping you with the fire break.
Kion: 
Okay. But Tiifu and Zuri, the mud pots. Let's go.
(Kiara, Bunga and Kion try to take out the mud)
(Tiifu and Zuri go into the mud)
Tiifu: 
(Sniffing) Huh. My fur smells like smoke.
Zuri: 
Tiifu? That's not your fur.
Tiifu and Zuri: 
Kiara!
Kiara: 
(Kiara sees here friends trapped) Kion. Bunga. We're too late. Embers have already jumped the fire break.
Kion: 
(Kion thinks quick) Muhangus' burrow. Quick. Everyone into the aardvark hole.
(The gang goes to burrow but the girls stop)
Tiifu: 
But it's dark down there.
Zuri: 
And dirty.
Bunga: 
(Bunga pops his head out) You were just sitting in mud.
Zuri: 
Oh, yeah. (Zuri goes into the burrow)
Tiifu: 
Do I have to?
Kion: 
Tiifu! Kiara! Move! Now!
Kiara: 
Tiifu, I'll be right behind you.
Tiifu: 
Okay.
(Everyone else jumps into the burrow)
Kion: 
Everyone okay?
Bunga: 
Yep.
Zuri: 
Yeah.
Kiara: 
I guess so. (Kiara looks at Tiifu) Tiifu? Are you okay?
Tiifu: 
(Nods) Mmm-hmm.
Kion: 
We got lucky. We can stay right here and wait out the fire.
Kiara:
 How long will that take?
Kion: 
I don't know. All day, maybe.
Tiifu:
All day?
Bunga: 
Don't worry, Tiifu. It'll be fun.
Tiifu: 
Fun?
Bunga: 
Yeah. All of us in this dark little space. Deep, deep underground.
Tiifu: 
(Gasps)
Kiara: 
(Kiara turns to face Bunga) Bunga...
Bunga:
We might even get to spend the whole night down here.
Tiifu:
No! I can't be here all night (Tiifu runs)
Kion: 
Tiifu, stop! You can't go back up there. The fire's still burning.
Tiifu: 
But I have to get out. Now! (Tiifu tries to moves the rocks but the rocks fall on her) Whoa!
Kiara:
(Kiara goes after Tiifu) Tiifu.
Kion: 
Kiara! Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bunga: 
Look out! (Bunga pushes Zuri out of the way)
(The rocks fall but everyone is fine)
Kion: 
Kiara? Tiifu?
Kiara: 
(Grunting) (Kiara pulls Tiifu out)
Kion:
Are you okay?
Kiara: 
We're fine. Tiifu, what happened? Kion said we were safe. Why did you run?
Tiifu: 
I'm sorry. It's just... I'm afraid of the dark.
Zuri: 
Well, now with all the extra dirt in here, it's even darker.
Kiara:
Zuri. I'm sorry, Tiifu. I had no idea. You don't seem scared of the dark at home.
Tiifu: 
That's different. I can see stars or the moon there. But here... It's so dark. Anything could be hiding in the shadows. Anything.
Bunga: 
Oh, yeah. Like a big, scary beast with big pointy claws and razor-sharp teeth.
Tiifu: 
Yes! (Tiifu hides behind Kiara)
Kiara:
(Kiara faces Bunga) Bunga.
Kion: 
(Kion leans to to talk to Tiifu) It's okay to be afraid, Tiifu. We understand.
Zuri: 
Yeah. But maybe you could have just told us instead of blocking our only way out.
Tiifu: 
(Gasps) So we're stuck down here?
Kion: 
Don't worry. We'll find another way out. We just need to figure out which one of these tunnels to try.
Zuri: 
The one with the least dirt.
Tiifu: 
The one with the most light.
Kiara: 
Tiifu, it's probably gonna get darker before it gets lighter.
Tiifu: 
It... It is?
Kion: 
But we'll be right there with you. And we won't let anything happen to you. Okay?
Tiifu: 
Oh... Okay.
Kion: 
Let's try this one.
(Tribal music playing)
(The gang walks through a tunnel and Tiifu leans agaisnt Kiara and Zuri)
Zuri: 
Tiifu, I know you're scared. But you're too close. You're frizzing my fur again.
Tiifu: 
Sorry. I just feel better knowing you're right there.
Kiara:
We are. And we'll stay right here.
Bunga: 
(Bunga comes in between the girls) 'Course we will. It's not like that big scary beast'll jump out of the dark and drag us all away.
Kiara: 
Bunga!
Kuchimba:
(Off screen) (Loud angry squeal)
Tiifu:
 (Screaming)
Zuri: 
What was that?
Kion: 
(Kion tries to listen) I don't know. But it sounds like it came from that hole.
Kuchimba: 
(Off screen) (Loud angry squeal)
Tiifu: 
(Gasps) The big, scary... Beast!
Kuchimba:
(Kuchimba pops out) (Angry squeal)
(All Screaming)
Kuchimba: 
Get out of my home. (Kuchimba jumps onto Kion's noise)
Kion: 
Come on, stop. (Laughs) That tickles. I'm gonna... I'm gonna... (Sneezes)
(Kuchimba flys off of Kion's noise and Bunga grabs him)
Tiifu: 
No!
Bunga: 
Gotcha.
Kuchimba: 
Oh, yeah? Says you.
Bunga: 
You're not very friendly, are you?
Kuchimba: 
Not to trespassers I'm not. Let me go and I'll show you what "not friendly" feels like.
Zuri: 
It's adorable.
Tiifu:
I think he's mean. Scaring us when all we want to do is go home.
Kuchimba: 
Wait. You mean you're not after my tunnels?
Tiifu: 
No.
Kuchimba:
Oh. I guess I jumped too soon. Um, could you put me down now?
Bunga: 
Okay. Sure, little mole guy. (Bunga lets go of Kuchimba)
Kuchimba: 
The name's Kuchimba. Sorry about before. We golden moles are... A little territorial.
Kion: 
But I thought these were all aardvark tunnels.
Kuchimba: 
(Kuchimba croses his arms) Spoken like a true surface crawler. All sorts of animals live down here. And some of 'em are tunnel thieves. But you're not. So... Why don't I make up for my unwarranted hostility, and help you get home?
Tiifu: 
You can get us back to Pride Rock?
Zuri: 
How can he get us anywhere? (Zuri pus her paws up) I don't think he has eyes.
Kuchimba: 
I don't. But I do have ears, so I heard that. I can also smell and feel all the vibrations in the ground. That's how I find my way around in the dark.
Tiifu: 
Are you always in the dark?
Kuchimba: 
Sure. It's my home.
Kion: 
So those vibrations you feel. Is that how you'll get us out of here?
Kuchimba: 
That's right. Just follow me and I'll take you right where you need to go.
(Kuchimba and the gang continue walking)
Tiifu: 
Kuchimba, don't you get scared being down here? In the dark.
Kuchimba: 
Why would I? There's nothing scary about being in the dark.
Tiifu: 
Really? I keep thinking I hear things. And see things.
Kuchimba: 
That's just your imagination.
Tiifu: 
Really?
Kuchimba: 
Sure. Take it from me.
(Instrumental music playing)
(Kuchimba dances)
Kuchimba:
 ♪ Now I've been a tunnel dweller
♪ Just like any other fella
♪ Down here all of my days
(Kuchimba waves his hand telling everyone to follow him)
♪ Don't matter if you're stuck right
♪ 'Cause I don't even need the light
♪ I can find my own way
(Tiifu gets scared)
♪ You got nothin' to fear down here, down here
(Tiny rocks fall near Tiifu)
♪ 'Cause none of your fears are here, down here
♪ Though it might appear your fears are sincere
♪ You got nothin' to fear down here, down here
(The gang continues walking)
♪ Even though I cannot see
♪ Gotta put your trust in me
♪ 'Cause there's no need for a fright
(Kuchimba jumps on Tiifu's noise)
♪ Close your eyes and you might find
♪ Not that scary in your mind
(Tiifu sees a room full of diamonds)
♪ It's no different than the light
(Everyone dances along to Kuchimba's song)
♪ You got nothin' to fear down here, down here
♪ 'Cause none of your fears are here, down here
♪ Though it might appear your fears are sincere
♪ You got nothin' to fear down here, down here
(Everyone jumps down from the ledge)
(Kuchimba spins)
♪ You got nothin' to fear down here, down here
(Music ends)
Kuchimba: 
Just head around the corner, take the main tunnel. You'll come out right by Pride Rock.
Kion: 
Thanks, Kuchimba.
Bunga: 
See ya next time we're underground.
(Kion and Bunga leave)
Tiifu: 
Are you sure you can't come the rest of the way with us, Kuchimba?
Kuchimba: 
I have to stay and protect my tunnels. But remember what I said.
Tiifu And Kuchimba: 
Nothin' to fear down here.
Kuchimba: 
Right. You'll do great. I know it. So long, Tiifu.
(Kuchimba leaves but Kion comes back and tries to get his attention)
Kion: 
Kuchimba. Wait! Kuchimba! Kuchimba!
Kiara: 
Kion? What's wrong?
Kion: 
We have a problem.
(The scene transitions to three different tunnels and the gang doesn't know which one to take)
Kiara: 
Oh. Which one's the main one?
Kion: 
I don't know.
Tiifu : 
I wish Kuchimba was still here.
Kiara: 
We'll be fine. Remember? Nothin' to fear down here.
(Galloping in the distance)
Zuri: 
(Gasps) What's that?
Kion: 
Hoof steps. Maybe we're getting close to the surface.
Bunga: 
Sounds like they're coming from that one.
Tiifu : 
What are we waiting for? Let's go. (Tiifu bumps into Thurston)
Tiifu : and Thurston: 
(Both grunting)
Bunga: 
What? It's you?
Thurston: 
Is it? Oh, yes. It is me.
Kion: 
How'd you get here?
Thurston: 
Good question. I wish I knew.
Kion: 
Does that tunnel lead to the surface?
Thurston: 
The surface of what?
Bunga: 
That's gotta be the way he came in. Let's go. "Zuka Zama!" (Bunga goes through the tunnel)
Zuri: 
Bunga. Wait for us.
(The girls follow Bunga)
Kion: 
Come on. We'll help you get back to the Pride Lands too.
Thurston: 
Oh, goody. So, where are we now?
(Kion and Thurston follow Bunga too)
(Bunga slides down the tunnel)
Tiifu: 
Nothin' to fear down here. Nothin' to fear down here. If the zebra came in this way, shouldn't we be out by now?
Kiara: 
Relax, Tiifu. I'm sure it won't be much longer.
Bunga: 
Uh...
(The gang spots more tunnels)
Kiara: 
(Sighs) Great.
Tiifu: 
Now where do we go?
Kion: 
Any chance you remember which one of those tunnels you came down?
Thurston: 
Well, of course. It was that one. (Thurston tries to go through a small tunnel but gets stuck) Hmm. (Struggling) This didn't happen last time.
Zuri: 
That zebra has no idea where he's going.
Kiara: 
He doesn't even know where he's been.
Tiifu: 
Kion. We gotta get out of here.
Kion: 
(Kion comes up with an idea) Of course. Muhangus.
Bunga: 
Huh?
Kiara:
What about him?
Kion: 
We came in through his den. He's got to be down here somewhere. If we can find him, he can lead us out. Ready for some tracking?
Kiara:
When am I not?
(Kion and Kiara both sniff out for Muhangus)
Kion: and Kiara:
 (Sniffing)
Bunga: 
(Bunga sees Thurston stuck) That can't be comfortable. How about I get you unstuck?
Thurston: 
Someone's stuck? How dreadful.
Bunga: 
Not for long. (Bunga gets ready to free Thurston)
Kiara: 
Kion. I've got it.
Kion: and Kiara: 
(Sniffing)
Kion:
I smell it too. It's faint, but it's there. Let's go.
Kiara: 
Tiifu, Zuri, come on.
Bunga:
(Bunga tries to pull Thurston out of the hole) (Struggling) We're coming... Too.
Thurston:
(Thurston comes out of the hole) Oh. That feels so much better.
Bunga: 
Come on.
(Bunga and Thurston catch up to everyone else)
Kiara: 
We did it. We found Muhangus.
Bunga: 
Um, looks like a wall to me.
Kion: 
And Muhangus is somewhere on the other side. We just have to dig our way to him.
Bunga: 
Ah-ha. Sounds like a job for a honey badger. Here we go.
Tiifu: 
(Tiifu stops Bunga) No! You and Kion can't go.
Kiara: 
Tiifu, they have to go. That's how they'll get us home.
Tiifu: 
But what if something happens and they don't come back? We'd be stuck here forever.
Kion: 
Tiifu. I promise that won't happen. We'll be back.
Zuri: 
And in the meantime, you'll have your best friends right by your side.
Thurston: 
Oh, yes. We'll be right by your side.
(Tiifu stands next to Thurston and her friends)
Muhangus:
(Muhangus is sleeping) (Snoring)
Bunga: 
Ah-ha! One aardvark, straight ahead. Nice place.
Kion: 
Muhangus? Muhangus?
Bunga: 
Nah, I got this. Wake up!
Muhangus:
(Muhangus wakes up) (Gasping) You again? What is it with you two? You got something against aardvarks getting some sleep?
Kion: 
No. Not at all. We're sorry. It's just, we got lost down here with our friends. We were hoping you could help.
Muhangus: 
(Scoffs) Maybe after I'm done sleeping.
Bunga: 
Okay. If that's the way you want it. Scoot over. (Bunga snuggles right next to Muhangus)
Muhangus: 
Hey. What are you doing?
Bunga: 
If you can't get us out, we'll just move in here. We'll be den-mates. (Snoring)
Muhangus: 
Hey, get out of here.
Bunga: 
Shh. After I'm done sleeping. (Snoring)
Muhangus: 
All right. All right. If it means gettin' rid of you, I'll help you.
Tiifu: 
Shouldn't Kion and Bunga be back by now?
(Kion, Bunga and Muhangus returns)
Bunga: 
I don't know. Should we?
Tiifu: 
You found him.
Kion: 
Yep. And he's gonna help us get out of here.
Muhangus: 
Only because the honey badger annoyed me into it.
(Kion nods at Bunga)
Bunga: 
I can be really annoying when I put my mind to it.
Muhangus: 
Oh, you got that right.
(Everyone walks and the scene transitions to another part of the tunnels)
Zuri: 
Does Muhangus even know where he's going? We've been walking forever.
Tiifu: 
I know. I just want to be home.
Kion: 
Then I think you'll like what's up ahead. Look.
Tiifu: 
(Tiifu sees daylight) (Gasps) I see daylight. We made it. Sorry. Gotta run. (Tiifu runs past Muhangus and Thurston)
Muhangus:
Hey!
Thurston: 
How rude. Where is she running too? We were all having such a lovely time.
Bunga: 
Nah, she's just afraid of the dark. She didn't like being trapped down here.
Thurston: 
Trapped? All this time we've been trapped? In the dark?
Kiara: 
Uh-oh.
Kion: 
It's okay. You don't have to...
Thurston: 
Panic and run. Panic and run! (Thurston panics and runs)
Muhangus: 
Stop it. Stop it! The tunnel will collapse!
Thurston: 
Panic and run.
Muhangus: 
Every animal for himself! (Muhangus digs down and escapes)
Muhangus: and Thurston: 
(Screaming)
Thurston: 
Panic and run! Panic and run!
Kion: 
You don't have to panic.
(Tiifu turns around sees Thurston)
Thurston: 
I do! We're trapped and it's dark! Panic and run. Panic and run.
Tiifu: 
(Tiifu comes to help Thurston) Wait. Stop.
Thurston: 
Panic and run!
Kion: and Kiara: 
Tiifu?
Kiara: 
Get out of his way. You'll get hurt.
Tiifu: 
It's okay. I can help. I know what he needs to hear. It's okay to be scared. It's scary in the dark.
Thurston: 
 (Thurston calms down) (Stammers) Yes. It is scary in the dark.
Tiifu: 
I know. 'Cause I was scared too. And I panicked so much, I made a tunnel cave in.
Thurston: 
You did?
Tiifu: 
Yeah. But someone taught me that the dark only seems scary because we imagine scary things in it.
Thurston:
 I do imagine scary things in the dark. Lots of scary things.
Tiifu: 
Me too. But they're not real. You just need to remember... "There's nothing to fear down here."
Thurston: 
"There's nothing to fear down here."
Tiifu: 
Right. And you know what else helped me? (Tiifu turns and looks at her friends) My friends stuck with me. Just like I'm going to stick with you.
Thurston: 
Because we're friends?
Tiifu: 
Exactly.
Thurston: 
Best friends?
Tiifu: 
Sure. Best friends. Now let's go home. Together.
(Tiifu and Thurston walk back to the Pride Lands)
Zuri: 
Wow. I thought I was her best friend.
(The scene transitions to the Pride Lands and Tiifu and Thurston come out of the tunnles)
Tiifu:
See? We did it. We're home.
Thurston: 
And I've got a new best friend. Wait till I tell the herd.
(Tiifu smiles as Thurston walks away)
(Kion, Kiara, Zuri and Bunga come out)
Kiara: 
You were amazing, Tiifu.
Kion: 
Definitely. You saved the day.
Tiifu: 
I just knew how the zebra felt. But, it's funny. When I was helping him? I wasn't scared at all.
(Ono, Beshte and Fuli come up)
Ono: 
Kion! Bunga! There you are! We just put out the fire by the mud pots.
Beshte: 
We were so worried when we didn't see you guys. Are you okay?
Kion: 
We're fine.
Fuli: 
But the fire was huge. How did you get away?
Kion: 
It's kind of a long story.
Bunga: 
Yeah. With a mole, an aardvark and a zebra in it.
Fuli: 
You mean that zebra? (Fuli looks at Thurston)
Thurston: 
Ooh. I wonder what's in here (Thurston walks into a dark cave)Help! Help! It's dark and I'm trapped!
Tiifu: 
It's okay. I've got this. (Tiifu goes to help Thurston) Don't panic, zebra. Your best friend's coming to get you. There's nothing to fear down here.
(Everyone smiles at each other)
