The Tree of Life/Transcript

(The Lion Guard and Makini come across a giant lake and are looking for the last moja kwa moja stone)
Anga: 
The last moja kwa moja Stone is on the other side of the lake. 
Ono: 
We're almost at the Tree of Life!
Kion: 
I know... Finally. Anga? How long will it take to go around the lake?
Anga:
(Anga uses her vision and looks at the lake) It's pretty big. Could take all night. 
Kion: 
Ugh. Then let’s get going.
Bunga: 
Hey Kion! Look at this! (Tapping) (Bunga steps on the lake) The lake. It’s hard.
Ono: T
he lake isn’t "hard". It’s ice. It’s so cold, it must have frozen over.
Bunga: 
Yeah, well, it’s "ice" enough that we can walk on it. Maybe all the way across.
Fuli: 
You think it's safe?
Ono: 
Ah, I'm not sure. It could be, but I think we should test it first.
Beshte: 
How are we going to do that?
Makini: 
(Makini points at Bunga) Maybe like that.
Bunga: 
(Bunga skates on the ice) This is great! Hoo-hoo-ha! C’mon out! The ice is fine!
Kion: 
I think Bunga's right. That looks like the fastest way to go. C'mon! Whoa...
(Everyone starts to walk on the ice)
Makini: 
(Tapping) Whoa, it's slippery! (Makini slips but catches herself with her staff) (Chuckles) And kind of fun.
Ono: 
Is it? Hmm. (Ono tries to walk on the ice but falls) (Squawk) Whoa! I think I'll just stick to flying.
Beshte: 
(Beshte walks on the ice but it starts to crack) (Ice cracking) Guys? I'm not so sure this was a good idea. (Gasps) Uh-oh. The ice is cracking!
Kion: 
(Ice cracking) Everyone, run!
(Everyone runs)
All: 
(Gasping, Panting)
Makini: 
(Makini is stuck on a piece of ice) (Yelps) (Gasping, panting)
Bunga: 
Whoa.
Makini: 
Help! Help!
(Everyone looks at Makini)
Anga: 
Makini!
Kion: 
Anga, can you reach her?
Anga: 
The wind from my wings might tip the ice she's standing on.
Kion: 
Up to us, Fuli.
Fuli: 
"Huwezi."
Makini: 
(Makini tries to reach for a piece of ice but falls into the water) Almost... (Splash) (Screams)
Kion: 
(Kion tries to reach out for Makini) Makini! (Grunts)
(All grunting)
(Kion and Fuli pull Makini to land)
Makini: 
(Shudders) Oh, thank you, Kion. Thank you, Fuli.
Fuli: 
You're welcome.
Kion: 
Yeah, now, let's get off this ice.
Bunga: 
I had a feeling that hard water couldn't be trusted.
Kion: 
(Kion rubs his eye because of his scar) (Grunts) Makini... I think I need some Tuliza.
Makini: 
Sure, Kion. (Gasps) Oh, no, my staff! It must have slipped off when I fell in the water!
Anga:
(Anga uses her vision looks for Makini's staff but can't find it) I don't see it. Must be under the ice.
Kion: 
So we don't have any Tuliza?
Makini: 
Sorry, Kion.
Kion: 
It's okay. At least we're close to the last moja kwa moja stone. Right, Anga?
Anga: 
Yep. Right over there.
(Everyone walks over to the last moja kwa moja stone)
Ono: 
(Gasps) Oh, noo!
Fuli: 
What is it, Ono?
Ono: 
I just realized. Without Makini's staff, we can't bring the painting to life.
Bunga:
So?
Ono:
So, we can't be sure it's really moja kwa moja stone.
Makini: 
(Sadly) Oh!
Kion: 
But you remember Rafiki's map, don't you, Ono? If this is the last moja kwa moja stone, then the Tree of Life must be nearby.
Ono: 
Let me see. "Nawaza." (Ono looks at the map) According to the map, there's a narrow mountain pass ahead. And on the other side is the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
Thanks, Ono. Anga? Do you see a pass in the mountain?
Anga:
(Anga uses her vision and looks for the mountain pass) Let's see. Got it. This way.
Bunga: 
Ooh, Anga, do you see the Tree of Life, too?
Anga: 
I can't see through mountains.
Kion: 
Everyone, let's head for that mountain pass.
Fuli: 
Kion? I really think we should wait until morning. We don't know what's on the other side of that mountain. If we wait til sunrise, we'll be able to see better.
Kion: 
Fuli, I'm not gonna get any better just waiting here. Now c'mon.
Ono: 
It's okay, Fuli. Once we get Kion to the Tree of Life, he'll feel better.
Fuli: 
(Sighs) I sure hope so. All right. You heard Kion. Let's go.
(Everyone heads towards the Tree of Life)
Ullu: 
(Ullu watches as the Lion Guard and Makini come to the Mountain Pass) (Hoots) Who could that be? Hmm. Better to be safe than sorry. I'll go warn the Night Pride. (Ullu goes to warn the Night Pride)
Kion: 
C'mon, everyone. Keep moving.
(Buzzing)
Bunga: 
(Bunga spots a beehive in a tree) Huh? A beehive. A beehive means bees. And honey, too. Mmm. (Bunga climbs the mountain pass)
Kion: 
Bunga! Don't!
Bunga: 
Don't worry (Bunga reaches for the beehive) (Grunts) I'm fine. Almost there.
Kion: 
Bunga, look out!
(Rocks rumble)
Bunga: 
Whoa!
(The rocks start to fall)
Kion: 
Rockslide! Everyone, scatter!
Ono: 
"Hapana!"
(Rocks rumbling)
Kion: 
"Heyvi kabisa!" Now the whole mountain pass is blocked. (Kion turns to his friends but sees Bunga not there) Bunga, why didn't you just listen to me? Bunga?
Bunga: 
(Bunga is stuck between the rocks) In here.
Beshte: 
Little B. You okay?
Bunga: 
Yep, I'm good. Kinda cozy in here.
Kion: 
Ugh. And we're so close.
Makini: 
(Makini tries to calm down Kion) Shwari, Kion. It's okay.
Kion: 
Okay!? We've just blocked the only way to the Tree of Life. Everyone, we have to clear these rocks. Now!
Bunga: 
And get me free, right?
Beshte: 
That's right, Little B.
Fuli: 
(Fuli turns to Kion) We could just leave him.
(The scene transitions and Ullu brings the Night Pride to the mountain pass)
Ullu: 
(Hooting) Almost there.
(The Night Pride stands on the rocks)
Rani: 
Night Pride, together!
(The Night Pride runs to the mountain pass)
Ullu: 
(Gasps) This wasn't here before.
Rani: 
Thank you, Ullu. We'll take it from here.
Ullu: 
Happy to help, Rani. (Hooting)
(Rani listens to the Lion Guard's voices)
(The Lion Guard helps Bunga get out of the rocks)
Bunga: 
(Off-screen) Get me outta here!
Fuli: 
(Off-screen) Stop moving!
Kion: 
(Off-screen) Come on!
Rani: 
(Rani turns to the Night Pride) Ullu was right. I don't recognize these voices. Surak?
Surak: 
They're strangers for certain. And if they caused the mountainside to collapse, they must be powerful.
Rani: 
Powerful could mean dangerous. Nirmala?
Nirmala: 
They could be... I suggest we take it slow. Try talking to them. Perhaps they come in peace.
Kion:
 (Off-screen) Ugh! (Frustrated growl)
Baliyo: 
Doesn't sound like peace to me.
Rani: 
Baliyo! Where are you going?
Baliyo:
I'm takin' a look. (Baliyo looks at the Lion Guard and Makini)
Kion: 
Let's keep going. Once we clear these rocks, nothing will stop us from getting to the Tree of Life.
Baliyo:
Nothing will stop them? That really doesn't sound like peace. They're strangers. And they sound mean. But I'll stop them. (Baliyo goes after the Lion Guard and Makini)
Rani: 
No, Baliyo, wait.
Surak: 
Now what?
Nirmala: 
Rani?
Rani: 
Ugh. He didn't leave us with much of a choice. With strength and respect...
All:
Night Pride protect!
(The Night Pride follows Baliyo)
Fuli:
(Fuli moves the rocks) (Grunts)
Baliyo: 
"Lada'i!" (Baliyo attacks Kion)
Fuli: 
(Gasps) Look out... no!
Anga: 
(Anga spots the rest of the Night Pride) Fuli. More lions.
Fuli: 
(Gasps) What's going on?!
Beshte: 
What do we do, Fuli?
Fuli: 
Anga and Beshte, help me hold off the lions. Makini and Ono, keep working to get Bunga free.
Makini: 
On it.
Ono: 
Affirmative.
Anga:
Okay.
Beshte: 
You got it, Fuli. "Twende Kiboko!"
(Beshte goes after Surak but he moves out of the way)
Surak: 
"Jogina!"
Anga: 
(Anga goes after Nirmala) "Anga lenga!"
Surak:
Nirmala, duck.
Nirmala: 
(Nirmala ducks) Thanks.
Rani: 
(Rani goes after Fuli) (Grunts)
Fuli: 
Hey! I don't know what we did to you, but this's gotta be a misunderstanding.
Rani: 
Misunderstanding? Is that what you call this rockslide? (Growls)
Fuli: 
(Panting) The rockslide was an accident. We didn't mean to start it.
(Baliyo attacks Kion)
(Baliyo and Kion grunting)
Rani: 
And your lion friend attacking my little brother is an accident, too? (Growls)
Bunga: 
(Bunga tries to get out of the rocks) Makini! Ono! Get me outta here! I gotta help fight!
Makini: 
We're trying, but you need to stop squirming. You're making more rocks fall.
Bunga: 
Fine, then at least let me get a good view (Bunga moves Ono out of the way)
Ono: 
(Squawks) 
Bunga: 
That's better. Whoa. Look at that! It's like we're fighting a Lion Guard made of lions.
Fuli: 
Ugh!
Baliyo: 
You fight good. But I fight even more good!
Kion: 
Ah, oof. (Growls) I don't know who you are. But we've come too far to let you stop us now.
Baliyo:
(Baliyo notices the dark clouds) (Gasps) What? What is that?
Kion: 
(Roars) (Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blast Baliyo away)
(Rani and the other Night Pride members are in shocked)
Nirmala: 
Did you see that, too?
Surak: 
Indeed. I've heard stories of a lion with a powerful roar. But not since I was a cub. Rani? How do you want to proceed?
Rani: 
(Growls)
Fuli:
(Fuli tries to calm down Kion) Kion. You're outta control.
Kion:
Fuli. I... Yeah. I guess I was.
Rani: 
(Rani pins Kion) (Growls) Lion, who are you?
Kion: 
What? Who are you?
Rani: 
I'm Rani. Leader of the Night Pride.
Kion: 
Night Pride?
Rani: 
We protect everyone at the Tree of Life from those who might cause them harm. Like you. And your roar
Kion: 
I'm sorry. We're really not a threat. I can explain.
Rani: 
You may say that you and your friends mean no harm, but actions... speak louder than words.
Fuli: 
We're not here to harm anyone. 
(Rani gets off of Kion)
Kion: 
Thanks. Rani, my name's Kion. My friends and I have been on a very long journey. We need to get to the Tree of Life to get help. I need help.
Rani: 
I'm sure you do. But your roar sent my brother flying. I can only imagine the damage you could do to everyone living at the Tree of Life.
Kion:
But I...
Rani: 
You, and your "friends," will never be welcome at the Tree of Life. Leave now, and never return. Night Pride, together!
(The Night Pride leaves)
Kion: 
I... I can't believe it.
Anga: 
So... now what?
Bunga: 
Uh, maybe get me outta here?
Fuli: 
Yeah. Come on.
Bunga: 
Hey hey Kion you don't have to listen to her, you've got the Roar! Those lions won't stop us from going to the Tree of Life.
Fuli: 
Bunga, just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
Bunga: 
Really? Anytime I can eat a grub I do!
Beshte: 
Fuli's right Little B. We want to be welcomed at the Tree of Life, not fight our way in. Although we did start the rockslide and block the mountain pass, maybe the lions were just defending their home just like we would if someone started a rockslide in the Pride Lands.
Makini: 
Does that mean we're not going to the Tree of Life now?
Fuli: 
No, we just have to come up with another plan. Right Kion? Kion? (Fuli sees Kion walk away sadly) Okay, for now let's just get Bunga out of these rocks.
(The scene transitions and the Night Pride sees Baliyo all dizzy)
Baliyo: 
Hey, did you see me fly?
Rani:
(Rani hugs Baliyo) Little brother, you're okay.
Baliyo: 
Of course, and I'm not your little brother, I'm just younger. So what were those strangers and what was that Roar?
Surak: 
It was like something from a legend.
Rani: 
It doesn't matter who they were, they're gone now. But I should tell Queen Janna what really happened. Uncle Surak and Nirmala, stay with Baliyo and make sure he's really okay.
Baliyo: 
You know, I always thought that flying would be more fun.
Nirmala: 
Come on Baliyo, let's get you something for your head.
Rani:
(Rani goes into the Tree of Life to talk to her grandmother Janna) Queen Janna, grandmother, are you awake?
Janna: 
Yes Rani, I am. Is everything alright?
Rani: 
Yes, at least it is now.
Janna: 
Come now, my dear. What’s wrong?
Rani: 
A very strange group of animals caused a rockslide that blocked off the mountain pass.
Janna: 
Oh, is that so?
Rani: 
Yes, they were led by a lion with a scar across his eye.
Janna: 
A scar? Hmm.
Rani: 
But we fought them off and I told them to leave and never return. I promise grandmother, they’ll never make to the Tree of Life.
Janna: 
I believe you. Well done Rani.
Rani: 
That lion actually had a Roar so powerful enough to send Baliyo flying.
Janna: 
(Janna is in shocked to hear the Roar has returned) Ah yes, the Roar. It has finally returned.
(The scene transitions back to Kion and he looks at the last moja kwa moja stone)
(Music begins)
Kion:
¶Here
¶Here at the end of the trail
¶How could I come all this way
¶Only just to fail
(Kion looks sad and walks along a log)
¶Now where, where do I go?
¶I've tried all that I know
¶Don't think there's any more I can do
(Kion looks at his friends helping Bunga)
Fuli: 
(spoken) Come on, everyone! We can do this. Work together.
Kion:
¶But now, I think I see
¶There's more to this journey than me
¶So if I have to, I'll move along
¶In a group where I belong
(Kion slides down the snow hill)
¶With my friends
¶I know I won't be alone
(Kion runs in the snow)
¶With my friends
¶We'll find a path that I can't find on my own
(Kion leaps over the ice lake)
¶Maybe this journey won't end today
¶But with my friends, it'll be okay
(Kion looks at his friends)
¶With my friends
¶It begins and ends
¶With my friends
(Music ends)
Makini:
(Makini pushes the last rock) Almost there. 
Bunga:
(Bunga gets free and does a dance) Hoo ha I'm free I'm free. Phew being trapped sure works up an appetite. (Bunga spots the bee hive again) Oh yeah bees.
All: 
Bunga! 
Bunga: 
Oh right. (Bunga sees Kion) Hey Kion look I'm outta the rocks now we can go to the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
I'm glad you're out Bunga but I don't think we can go to the Tree of Life.
Bunga: 
What why not? 
Kion: 
Because I lost control of the Roar again. Maybe the leader of the Night Pride is right maybe it's not safe to let me go the Tree of Life. I'm sorry I took you on this journey you stuck with me through it all and then we finally get here, I ruined everything.
Fuli: 
Kion we know you didn't mean to lose control of the Roar.
Beshte: 
Maybe if we talk to the Night Pride we can explain everything. 
Bunga: 
Yeah worth a try.
Ono: 
Don't worry Kion even if we can't get to the Tree of Life, we can find another way to heal your scar and we won't give up until we do.
Kion: 
You know Ono? You're right we won't give up because my scar isn't the only thing that needs healing.
(The scene transitions back to inside of the Tree of Life and Rani is seen talking to her grandmother queen Janna)
Rani: 
So this Roar is a good thing? 
Janna: 
Yes and it can be a great thing. 
Rani: 
What about the scar on his eye didn't you say? 
Janna: 
We all have our scars Rani "Sisi Ni Sawa." 
Rani: 
We're the same? Yeah but I'm still not sure I totally understand why you think.
Janna: 
All will be clear soon enough but right now I need you to go welcome the lion and his friends to the Tree of Life.
Rani: 
Okay. 
Janna: 
And hurry before they actually do leave for good.
Rani: 
Yes of course grandmother.
Janna: 
Thank you Rani.
(Rani leaves the Tree of Life and meets up with the rest of the Night Pride)
Baliyo: 
C'mon Rani. Let's go.
Rani: 
Go? Go where?
Baliyo: 
Back to the pass. We can't just tell those strangers to go away. We gotta make them.
Rani:
Glad you're feeling better, Baliyo. But the Queen was actually excited to hear about the strange Lion's Roar.
Baliyo: 
Huh? She was?
Surak: 
So it was the Roar of the Elders.
Rani: 
I guess so. Which means we must welcome the lion and his friends to the Tree of Life.
Baliyo:
Welcome them? Did you see that Roar? Cause I felt it and...
Surak: 
It is the power of legends.
Nirmala:
We'll need to treat him with care.
Baliyo: 
Treat him with care? Thar Roar thing sent me flying all the way through the pass. We gotta go do something.
Surak: 
Baliyo? Let's think before we react.
Nirmala: 
"Arama karo."
Baliyo: 
Relax. Right. (Sighs) Sorry.
Rani: 
Give me a moment, too?
Surak: 
Of course.
(The scene transitions as Rani goes to talk to her parents)
(Thunder rumbling)
Rani: 
Mom? Dad?
(Rani's parents spirits show up)
Sãhasí: 
We're here, Rani.
Ãnanda: 
How are you?
Rani: 
I'm okay. But I need some advice. Grandmother wants me to welcome a strange lion and his friends to the Tree of Life. But I'm not sure that I should. What if I let them in and something bad happens? It's my job to protect the Tree of Life.
Sãhasí 
I'm proud that you take you're duty so seriously, Rani. But the Queen is very wise.
Ãnanda: 
She wouldn't ask you to let them in if it wasn't okay.
Sãhasí: 
Listen to her, Rani. She's preparing you to lead more than the Night Pride.
Ãnanda: 
Yes. One day you will be Queen as well.
Rani: 
I know. You're right.
Sãhasí: 
We know you'll do the right thing, Rani.
Ãnanda: 
You always do.
Rani: 
Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.
Ãnanda: 
You're welcome.
Sãhasí 
You're welcome.
(Rani walks away and her parents spirits disappear) 
(The scene transitions and the Night Pride run back to the mountain pass)
Rani: 
Keep up. We need to find them before they've gone too far.
Baliyo: 
I still don't get why we're...
(The Night Pride sees that the Lion Guard and Makini cleared the Mountain Pass)
Nirmala: 
They cleared the pass.
Surak: 
And yet, they didn't continue any closer to the Tree of Life.
Rani: 
(Rani walks up to Kion) You're still here.
Kion: 
Yes. And I need to apologize. I'm sorry for using my Roar. And I understand if you won't allow me to enter. But could you let my friend Ono complete the journey to the Tree of Life? He wasn't part of the earlier fight. And his eyes need healing. Please?
Rani: 
(Rani sees Ono's eyes need healing) Oh. Of course we will welcome Ono.
Ono: 
Thank you.
Rani: 
But anyone who is willing to put their friend's  well-being before their own is worthy as well. Kion. You and your friends are all welcome at the Tree of Life.
Kion: 
Oh, thank you. 
Bunga: 
(Bunga walks up to the Night Pride) By the way? We're called the Lion Guard.
Baliyo: 
Lion Guard? You only got one lion.
Bunga: 
Yeah. You get use to it.
Rani: 
Very well. Kion? Lion Guard? Follow me.
(Everyone walks to the Tree of Life)
Baliyo: 
Hey, Kion. Just don't do that Roar thing at me again. Ever.
Kion: 
I won't. I promise.
Rani: 
Lion Guard? We're here. Welcome to the Tree of Life. 
(The Lion Guard and Makini are in shocked to see that they finally made it to the Tree of Life)
