The Lion Guard Season 3 (Iago PUC's version)

Iago PUC's version of the third season of The Lion Guard is an alternate TV series story-line for the season. Like its previous seasons, the season is broadcast on Disney Junior.
== Premise ==
Following Scar's final defeat at the beginning of the season, life continues in Africa as Kion and the Lion Guard continue protecting the Pride Lands and preserving the Circle of Life. The Guard and their friends and allies soon come across two new species they had never encountered in Africa before: a clan of black panthers who worship the feline goddess Bastet, and humans, who are unaware of the Pride Lands' existence. The Guard and their allies soon make new friends with female pre-teenage panther Suki, and young human Fiona Watson. However, the Guard must still battle against Zira and her Outsiders (who seek to take over Pride Lands by any means and exterminate the humans, whom they view as menaces), and a group of human mercenaries who are unaware of Pride Lands' existence, and are scavenging the wild for an unknown treasure hidden somewhere in the heart of Africa.

In anger, Scar used the Roar to kill the lion and snake, however, Mufasa mocked his brother and gave him the terrible nickname of Scar, leading to Scar plotting to dethrone Mufasa, before abusing his power by using the Roar to destroy his Guard. In the years that followed the Lion Guard's downfall, Scar plots with the hyenas to rule over the Pride Lands, eventually leading to Mufasa's death, and Simba's exile from the Pride Lands. After being defeated by an older Simba in a vicious fight, he was betrayed, and mauled to death by the hyenas when he tried to pin the blame of Mufasa's death on them. By the end of The Rise of Scar, Kion unintentionally summoned Scar back as a fiery spirit in the Outlands' volcano after he used the Roar in anger when Janja provoked him. Scar then begun to form plans to take over the Pride Lands and rule it forever. However, by the end of the Season 3 opener The Panther's Roar, Scar is defeated and destroyed by Kion and Suki once and for all, ending his reign of terror, disbanding his former army, and freeing the Pride Lands and the Outlands from his tyranny.

== Episodes ==
* "The Panther's Roar" (Hour-long season premiere composed of two episodes aired back-to-back, individually labelled The Panther's Roar (Part One) and The Panther's Roar (Part Two) respectively) - Kion and the Lion Guard continue to defend the Pride Lands from Scar and his army. Simba suggests they take the battle with Scar into the Outlands to increase their chances more. Meanwhile, Suki, a young black panther from other places in Africa, is tasked to travel into the Temple of the African feline goddess Bastet to practice her abilities in preparation to defend all life on Africa. By entering the astral plane to meet the spirit of Bastet, Suki has a vision of the events on Pride Lands and the threat which Scar imposes to all Africa. Kion eventually has a vision of himself in the astral plane, and meets Suki, whom he acknowledges to have her own Roar. Acknowledging that the power of their Roars combined will not only free Bastet, but also weaken Scar's rise to power, Kion and Suki combine their strengths in the astral plane, and let out their Roars, successfully resurrecting Bastet, who summons the spirit of the Elder World Wild cats (including Mufasa) to banish Scar's spirit to the underworld forever. As the Pride Landers celebrate their victory, and Janja and his clan of hyenas (having had a change of heart) join Jasiri's clan, Kion watches the sunset as he is hopeful to meet Suki and her kind on person. Meanwhile, Abedi, the leader of the black panthers' clan, congratulates Suki for succeeding on her mission before they are visited by Kamaria Munroe, an African human who also worships Bastet.
