## History

### Legends of the Lion Guard: The Dark Prophecy

Makucha's Leap spies on the Lion Guard as they head to the Tree of Life. Getting an idea, Makucha announces that they're going to follow the Guard there in order to feast on rare animals, and while Orji refuses to follow the leap, the rest of the leopards side with Makucha. They soon arrive at the waterfall, where they meet Ora's Bank and Reth's Pride. While Ora and his bank agree to ally them in their plans to invade the Tree of Life, Reth rejects this offer, opting to remain independent with his pride. Later, Makucha's Leap and Ora's Bank arrive at the Mountain Pass. Out of nowhere, a binturong named Mama Binturong arrives, remarking that they are too flawed in their attacks. She effectively takes over as the leader of everyone around her. Shortly after, Mama Binturong says that it is time for their first attack. Ullu sees them enter the Mountain Pass, and upon watching them target Cek's Flock at Winter Woods, she decides to warn the Night Pride; Rani recognizes Makucha and his leap.

Once they find out everything, the Night Pride, along with Ullu, Kingiza, Mhina, and the Lion Guard, dash to Winter Woods and engage in a fight with the predators. During the battle, Fuli leaps onto Chungwa, who is advancing toward Bakara, and Chungwa kicks her off. Swiftly, she rakes her across the muzzle with her claws, drawing blood and making Fuli growl in pain. After Mama Binturong is sprayed with Bunga's stink, she orders the army to retreat, and they run away from Winter Woods. Kion realizes that Makucha and his friends followed the Lion Guard as well, much to Rani's ire, and Mhina points out that they never asked to be followed by them or Reth's Pride. Some time after, the army of predators argues amongst themselves over what to attack next. Chungwa suggests attacking pangolins, but her idea goes unheard. Mama Binturong angrily silences them, mentioning her new plan, to which Chunga asks what it is. She reveals her intentions to get revenge on Bunga - which don't sell with the army - until she clarifies that they'll also have a chance to pursue rare animals. Makucha agrees, declaring that they're in. As they travel to Bamboo Woods, Makucha's Leap is observed by Ullu and Cara, and they fly off to warn the Lion Guard and Night Pride.

Upon arriving, Makucha explains that Mama wants revenge against Bunga and they want to go after rare animals - so they're going to attack the elephants and golden wolves living here. He assigns Chuluun, Khurdan, and Chungwa to help him take on the wolves and Fahari and Jiona to target the elephants. They charge into the woods, immediately pursuing the golden wolves, and soon, the Lion Guard and a few members of the Night Pride arrive on the scene. During the battle, Aminia and Danyal face off with Chungwa and Khurdan, who badly wound them and knock them out of comission. They soon tussle with Bunga along with their mother, Fahari, and Jiona. Chuluun leaps toward Bunga, but he dodges her, pushes off a tree, and lands on top of her. Using his paws, Bunga covers her eyes, making Chuluun struggle to throw him off. As she does so, he jumps off of her, sending her into Khurdan and Chungwa. Fahari and Jiona then try to capture him, but Bunga is too quick and propels himself away from the tree, causing the leopards to smash into it. Makucha then jumps down onto Bunga and captures him. Bunga tries to free himself, but it is no use, and Mama Binturong arrives alongside Smun's Prickle. The porcupines trap Bunga just as he kicks Makucha away and begin to lead him out of Bamboo Woods, but using his catchphrase and stink, he tricks the army and drives them off.

Later, Mama rallies the army of predators in the Mountain Pass and sends most of them ahead while keeping a few to deal with Orji and Ullu. In the final battle for the Tree of Life, Makucha's Leap chases Astuto's Leash, and Chungwa blocks Astuto, letting Khurdan bite her tail. When Kion arrives at the battlefield, he uses the Roar of the Elders to fling Smun and his prickle onto the leopards. Collapsing on the ground in pain, Chungwa exclaims that this stinks, and Jiona nods in agreement with her. Eventually, Kion summons a tornado that sends the predators back to where they came from.
