After Thorn had recruited Trent's brother Ray and his friends Adam and Spencer, the TARDIS was programmed to land in the Pride Lands. Once there, Josh was sent out to find the prince who resided at Pride Rock, the centerpiece of the Pride Lands.

"I'll make sure he comes here safely. One question, though," Josh said.

"Go ahead," Thorn said.

"Why do I have to find him? Why not any of the others?"

"Because both of you are royalty. I believe you may be able to convince him to come along with us."

"That definitely sounds like something I would say and it makes perfect sense. I'll be right back," Josh said.

"And be careful. If Rose recruited rogues from Avalar to her cause, who knows if she hasn't done the same with rogue lion prides," Thorn said.

"Good point. I'll be safe." Josh then stepped out of the TARDIS to find himself changed into a lion with brown fur and blue eyes. "I'll never understand these dimensional laws," Josh muttered before walking towards Pride Rock. Once there, he saw a group of elephants, zebras, and buffalo being held hostage by a group of lions. He ducked behind a rock before he could be seen by one of the lions in the group.

"We're looking for the prince of the Pride Lands. If we get the information we're looking for, we might let you go back to your pitiful lives," the leader said.

"Great. I hate these guys." The gang of rogues gave the elephants, zebras, and buffalo five minutes to come forward with any information. When no one had stepped up, the leader conferred with his gang before turning back around to their captives.

"If any of you aren't willing to come forward with any information, then I guess these lands just lost a few residents. Kill them all."

"Stop right there, you rogues," Josh said as he stood on the rock he was hiding behind.

"You again! Don't just stand there! Get that lion," the leader said before part of his gang chased after Josh.

"Stop right there if you know what's good for you," one of the lions chasing Josh said.

"Do you really think I'm about to surrender like that? You lions are so thick."

"That does it! Just wait until we get your paws on you."

"I don't think so," a mysterious voice said before tackling one of the lions. Once the dust had cleared, Josh saw that a lion with a dark brown mane, cream-colored fur, and green eyes had the lion pinned down under his paws.

"You," the leader said as he caught up to the rest of his gang.

"Who were you expecting? My grandfather?"

"Get both of them. The boss will like that we've captured both the prince and the wrench thrown into her plans."

"You won't get both of us if we split up," the lion said before he and Josh ran into two different directions.

"Get them," the leader said before his gang split up again. Once they were gone, Josh and the mysterious lion got out of their hiding places before laughing at the stupidity of the rogues.

"I can't believe they were that thick to believe that we split up," Josh said.

"Yeah. That was good."

"Definitely. What's your name?"

"Shujaa. And you," Shujaa asked.

"I'm not really from around here," Josh said.

"So you're from another pride?"

"Sort of. You don't happen to live at that rock structure over there, do you?"

"You mean Pride Rock? I do live there if that's what you mean," Shujaa said.

"Pride Rock? Is that what it's called? I didn't know," Josh said.

"I figured you wouldn't. You did say you weren't from around here."

"I did, didn't I? Okay. Before we can go back to my home, we have to get one of those rogues."

"What? You saw what they were trying to do. They were trying to kill us," Shujaa said.

"That's true, but they were doing what they were ordered to. I'm just trying to figure out a few things," Josh said.

"And what would those be?"

"Who hired them and why are they after us?"

"And you figure that capturing one of those rogue lions might get you the answers you need," Shujaa said.

"Precisely. You're catching up, Shujaa," Josh said.

"What's the plan for capturing one of those guys?"

"Easy. I just need you to act as bait."

"Why should I act as bait? Why can't you do it," Shujaa asked.

"Because it was my plan. Don't try to get out of it. Otherwise, I'll be forced to use my claws for something other than tearing meat apart," Josh said.

"Are you threatening me?"

"What if I am? What are you going to do about it?"

"You have no idea who you're messing with," Shujaa said, glaring at Josh.

"Neither do you," Josh said as he did the same.

"All right. I'm willing to play along, but I want answers the minute we're done."

"Deal." Josh and Shujaa then shook paws to seal the deal between them before the latter lion went off to attract the attention of one of the rogue lions.

"Come and get me, you slack-jawed numbskulls," Shujaa said before running away.

"After him." The rogue lion pride then chased after Shujaa before one of them saw him heading back towards Pride Rock.

"You're not getting away from me," he said before chasing after Shujaa. Once Josh had seen the rogue lion running behind Shujaa, he got ready to pounce and restrain him.

"Now!" Josh shouted as he jumped on the rogue before tying him up in the rope he had brought with him. Shujaa came by afterwards and saw the rogue's legs tied together.

"Nicely done," Shujaa said after Josh's handiwork with the rope.

"Thanks. Now let's get him back to base." Josh dragged the rogue lion all the way back to the TARDIS' location before he knocked on the doors.

"You'll get used to this," Josh said, noticing the expression on Shujaa's face. After about six seconds, Thorn opened the doors before seeing Josh with Shujaa and the restrained rogue.

"Back so soon, Josh?"

"Yeah. I got Shujaa and one of the rogue lions hunting for him," Josh said.

"Of course. Interrogate the rogue and find out what kind of information he can give us," Thorn said before letting Josh, Shujaa, and the rogue enter the TARDIS. As soon as they were in, Josh dropped the ropes connecting the rogue's legs together.

"Aaron, see if you can find a chair in here."

"Done," Aaron said before searching the TARDIS for what Josh had asked for.

"Thorn, who are we looking for on Equestria?"

"The grandson of Princess Celestia. He and his younger sister are situated in Canterlot. I also know that his mother's older brother and his family live in the Crystal Empire."

"Got the chair, Josh."

"Good. Get Lily, Gabriella, and Marty to help you in tying the rogue up," Josh said.

"We're on it," Aaron said as he helped the rogue to his feet.

"Great. Now he's calling me Marty," Martin muttered as he helped Aaron, Gabriella, and Lily.

"Next stop: Equestria," Josh said as he and the other Samurai Ranger guided the TARDIS to its next destination.
