Me, too!

You two only have yourselves to blame.

To think that you were scared by the roar of a lion cub!

Janja, see, Kion's roar,

it wasn't like, like a normal roar.

It was, uh... (NERVOUS LAUGH) Super loud!

And the clouds! They turned into roaring lions!

Oh! So you're scared of clouds, too?

(LAUGHING)

Stuff it, fur brains!

Seems we have a visitor to our humble humid den.

Janja. Hyenas.

Mzingo! What are you doing this far into the Outlands?

Looking for leftovers?

No, but I'd be happy to eat...

Forget it. We don't have any.

Simba's cub, Kion, managed to cancel our lunch plans.

(LAUGHING)

Then you already know about Kion.

Know what?

Simba has told Kion to assemble a new Lion Guard.

Lion Guard? That's impossible.

The Lion Guard died out after Scar...

Unless...

(STAMMERS) Janja?

The Roar! Of course!

Of course what?

Don't you know the stories?

The Lion Guard was legendary.

The most powerful team of lions in the Pride Lands.

At least they were... (SNICKERING)

Until Scar destroyed them!

(LAUGHING)

What? A lion destroyed the Lion Guard?

Or so the story goes.

Ha-ha-hilarious!

Yeah! Them lions ain't too bright!

Stuff it, fur brains!

A new Lion Guard could be very bad news for us hyenas.

And all the other Outlanders.

I gathered as much from what I overheard from Kion.

Yes. The old Lion Guard protected the so-called Circle of Life.

If Kion's new Lion Guard wins the trust of the Pride Lands,

we Outlanders will...

(GROWLS)

(HYENAS LAUGHING)

Now, Janja. What were you saying about the Lion Guard and the Outlanders?

I was saying...

With a Lion Guard patrolling the Pride Lands,

it will be next to impossible for us Outlanders

to take whatever animals we want for food.

Then what're we gonna do?

Ooh, we could eat each other.

No! We'll strike now.

Before the Lion Guard is ready.

And we'll take down all the animals we can.

Mmm. I like the sound of that.

Whole herds of animals!

Yeah, right!

Tasty!

Tonight, we Outlanders will feast.

Hyenas and vultures alike!

Tonight, we strike!

(VOCALIZING)

Outlanders, arise and follow me!

The Pride Lands will never know what bit them!

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

Target in sight...

Dive!

Hey, Ono!

(GRUNTS) Whoa!

Oh. Hi, Kion.

Good to see you.

You see just about everything, Ono.

That's why I want to talk.

ALL: (CHANTING) Beshte! Beshte! Beshte!

Hey, everybody! Who wants a water slide?

Ooh, yeah!

Me, me!

Do it, Beshte!

Poa. One water slide, coming up!

(SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE)

(GRUNTS)

ALL: Yay!

Yeah!

(LAUGHS)

Strongest?

(BLOWS RASPBERRIES) Strongest.

Also wettest...

Aah!

Ono!

Fuli! Wait! Kion wants to talk!

Not now, Bunga. I gotta run.

What? Why?

(PANTING) That's why.

(SCREECHING)

Oh...

I see Fuli's a bit occupied.

Even I can see that, Ono. But I have an idea...

Whoo!

Huwezi!

You can't catch me!

Fuli! This way!

Fuli! Jump!

Beshte! Now!

Nice save, Beshte.

(PANTING) Totally. Thanks.

And as for you guys, I said I'm sorry!

I wasn't trying to be mean when I said you look funny when you scratch your heads.

Apology accepted...

(ALL GROAN)

Hey, guys. Thanks for meeting with me.

I wanted to talk to you because...

Well, I need your help.

What's the kerbubble, Kion?

The five of us are the Pride Lands' fiercest,

bravest, strongest, fastest and keenest of sight.

And that's why I want you all to join the new Lion Guard.

Together, we'll protect the Pride Lands and defend the Circle of Life.

(WHISTLES)

Well, lick my tail and call me a meerkat!

Hey! My uncle's a meerkat!

No offense, Bunga...

Wait! Aren't you a honey badger?

A Lion Guard?

Figures.

Always the lions lording over the Pride Lands.

I suppose Simba put you in charge of this little team, Kion?

You bet your spots he did!

Fuli, the Lion Guard needs you.

You're the Pride Lands' fastest.

You got that right.

And you're supposed to be the fiercest?

Well, he is a lion...

And lions are fierce.

It's kinda common knowledge, really...

Show 'em the Roar, Kion. Show 'em the Roar!

What's Bunga talking about? The Roar?

You think you're somethin' special just 'cause you can roar?

Wait 'till you hear it. C'mon, Kion.

Show 'em the Roar!

So what is the deal with your roar?

Oh, you totally have to show us, Kion.

Seeing is believing!

Though with a roar, it's more about hearing...

Okay, fine. I'll show you the Roar.

Just, uh, stay behind me.

I don't want anybody to get hurt.

'Scuse me.

Watch it!

Pfft. Groundlings...

Ready?

Okay. This is the Roar...

(TINY SQUEAK)

What in the Pride Lands...

That was... Different.

(LAUGHS) Kion!

You call that a roar? (CHUCKLES)

Didn't sound like a roar.

That wasn't the Roar! That was a squeak!

I've found him, Your Highness!

Kion is over here!

See, Dad? What did I tell you?

Thank you, Kiara.

You and Tiifu go ahead and track the gazelle.

I need to talk to Kion. Alone.

Yes, Dad.

Thank you, princess.

Dad! Am I glad to see you!

I'm not sure why, but when I tried to...

Kion, Kiara tells me you've asked Bunga to join the Lion Guard.

Hey...

Is this true?

Well, yeah.

I was just talking to all my friends about it.

Your friends?

Kion, I asked you to assemble the new Lion Guard.

Instead you're just playing with your friends?

I'm not playing, Dad.

My friends are the new Lion Guard.

Fuli is the fastest.

Beshte is the strongest.

Ono is the keenest of sight.

And the bravest, it's Bunga.

Kion, the Lion Guard has always been made of lions.

Do you really think a Lion Guard with only one lion

can protect the Pride Lands?

Well, actually...

Son, listen.

The Lion Guard isn't a game you play with your friends.

It's real.

The Circle of Life, and your life,

will depend on who's on your team.

Please, Kion. There are plenty of good lions for the Guard.

I need you to take your new responsibility seriously.

Just as seriously as Kiara takes hers.

But I do take it seriously...

Kion...

Lil' B, I think Kion needs some time to himself.

KIARA: Be sure to stay low while we're tracking the herd.

And we need stay downwind, so they don't catch our scent.

That's why it's important to watch how the grass moves.

Are we going to attack them?

No. My dad says we should only take what the pride needs,

to keep the Circle of Life in balance.

If we took down gazelles just to learn how to do it,

pretty soon there wouldn't be any left.

Then we'd be as bad as the hyenas.

(GASPS)

What's Mzingo doing up there?

Vultures only circle like that when they're expecting to eat.

Kiara, look!

KIARA: Hyenas. And Janja's leading them.

TIIFU: There's so many of them!

Yeah. And with Mzingo circling over the gazelles,

I have a feeling they're up to no good.

What are we going to do?

Go find my dad and tell him Janja and his clan are here.

I'll stay here and keep watch.

Okay, Kiara. Be careful!

Dad wanted the best for the Lion Guard.

And I found them.

But now, maybe the best isn't good enough?

I just don't understand.

♪ Why?

♪ Why even trust me at all?

♪ They say the Guard is my call

♪ But then come tell me I'm wrong

♪ Now what What should I do?

♪ And who Who do I turn to?

♪ Now everything feels so upside down

♪ Deep down, maybe I knew
