[First Lines] Everything the light touches is part of our kingdom. Ruling it is a big responsibility, Kiara. And someday, when you're queen...
[Simba gets hit in the head by a baobab fruit, Simba groans in annoyance]
[Emerging from the cave] Oh, sorry, dad. Me and Bunga were playing baobab ball...
And Kion couldn't handle the pass!
What!? A giraffe couldn't handle it! You kicked it over my head!
[Throws the baobab fruit into the air] And you couldn't handle it!
Yeah? Try to handle this!
[Kion and Bunga fight over the baobab ball]
[Kion lets go of the ball, sending Bunga flying backwards]
Kion, I need to talk to your sister. She'll be tracking gazelles with her friends today.
[Chuckles] Because I'm training to be...
Queen of the Pride Lands. Yeah, yeah. I know all about it, Kiara.
[Scoffs] At least I have my life figured out. What are you gonna grow up to be, little brother?
[Pushes Kion aside] All right you two, that's enough. Kion, why don't you and Bunga go play somewhere else?
Yeah! I know the perfect place! [Holds up the baobab ball] Hey, Kion! [Sing-song voice] You'll never get the baobab fruit, no.
Ha! you got nowhere to go, Bunga!
Says who? Zuka Zama! [Jumps off Pride Rock]
[Bunga laughs as he lands in a tree]
[Lands safely on solid ground] Catch me if you can, Kion! [Catches the baobab ball]
Game on, Bunga! Later, Dad. Have fun tracking those gazelle, Kiara. I gotta get Bunga! [Goes after Bunga]
[Sighs] I can't believe we're related.
Kion will grow up someday. I hope.
[Chewing on a bone] Oh! 'Fraid there's no meat left for you boys.
[Notices Kion and Bunga's baobab ball] Janja! Janja! A baobab fruit!
Let's eat it! I'm starvelated!
Well You Really Are Excited It’s Great To Finally Meet You Can You Let Me Go Now Please?
[The other hyenas laugh at Janja due to the butterfly being on his head]
[The hyenas continue laughing]
What are you laughing at? Tell me! [Jumps down to the other hyenas] Stop it, furbrains! Look . A honey badger. [Slurps] Now that's my idea of a delightful meal! [Knocks his bone away]
[Nne and Tano rush towards the bone]
Bird! Beetle! Bringer him to me!
[Cut to the hyenas fleeing the Pride Lands. Janja starts to follow his clanmates, then pauses and looks over one shoulder.]
You win today, Kion. Next time won't be so easy. [Kion stands up straighter]
Simba! You see? [Rafiki pokes Simba with his bakora staff] Eh? Ah, ha! He is ready. [Rafiki lightly punches Simba in the shoulder] It is time!
Yes. Kion is ready. It is time. Time for the Lion Guard.
[Laughs] Didn't know I was up here, did ya?
No, I... I knew you were there the whole time, hyena.
Yep, I'm a hyena, alright. You lions are so clever. [Laughs] Especially you, Kion. Leader of the Lion Guard.
Just by reputation. The mark on your shoulder's a giveaway, though. [Laughs]
So, you're not in Janja's clan?
Janja? Yeah, that's a good one. What are you doing in the Outlands? Not exactly your territory.
I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock, so I can get back to the Pride Lands. If that's okay with you, hyena.
The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back to the Pride Lands, you're going the wrong way.
Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...
Because I want you out of my territory.
Good. I want out of your territory. [Scoffs]
[As Kion leaves, Jasiri begins to follow him]
Then you're going the wrong way!
Well, well. If it isn't Jasiri. Thought I told you to stay off our turf!
Just passing through. So move. Or do I have to move you myself?
[Cheezi and Chungu stand next to Janja]
Big talk, coming from someone who's all alone!
Okay, I'll take another path.
[More hyenas surround Jasiri]
So, you figured out that only three of you didn't stand a chance against me.
[The hyenas back Jasiri into a corner]
C'mon, boys. Let's remind Jasiri what happens to someone who wanders into our part of the Outlands!
More than last time, Pua, but not enough for your float of crocs. Swing by next week?
PPua
If that's how it must be. [Addresses his float] Move on, my friends. We'll eat somewhere else today.
MMakuu
Wait! [Approaches Pua] Pua, you said we were going to eat fish.
PPua
Makuu, there aren't enough fish yet. You heard Basi.
MMakuu
[Rolls his eyes] I heard him. But why should we crocodiles listen to a hippo?
PPua
I've told you before, Makuu. It's the Circle of Life.
MMakuu
So you say. [Strides around Pua] But I think you listen to the hippos because you're weak. [Faces Pua] You're afraid of them! [Thumps his chest] But I'm not afraid of anyone. And that's why I call for a mashindano!
Dad, what's a mashindano?
The mashindano is a physical challenge. It's how the crocodiles determine their leader.
MMakuu
You heard me! Accept or surrender your leadership. Immediately!
PPua
I accept your challenge, Makuu. [Faces his float] In accordance to tradition, the mashindano will take place near Lake Matope at sunset.
I would not lie there, if I were you.
Pfft. Come on, Rafiki. I can tell the best spots to bask. I'm the smartest animal around. You said so yourself.
You did not hear everything I said. Honey badgers are only smartest when they think things through.
[Leaps into the air] Think things through? [Lands in the flowers which are growing in mud] Uh. Guess I'm not so wise after all. [Lounges in the mud] Oh well. I can live with that.
