"It shouldn't be too hard to find that cold-hearted snake." Akito said as he ran with the Lion Guard.
"But where could he be by now?" Fuli asked.
"I'm not sure..." Akito said. "Wait! I think I know someone who might be able to tell us."
Felicity was seen reading an English dictionary to improve on her language skills.
"Flick, you can sense people and animals by their blood, right?" Akito asked his cousin.
"That is..." Felicity said before checking the book and looking back at him. "Cor-Rect."
"Great, we need your help in finding Ushari." Akito said.
"Hmm... What type of animal is he?" Felicity asked.
"He's a cobra..." Akito replied. "He's really freaky and creepy."
"Hm... Cold blood... Shouldn't be too hard to find..." Felicity said before she took a breath to sniff out for the snake's blood for them since she was part vampire.
"Let's just hope he hasn't gone too far." Fuli said.
Felicity began to track down Ushari for the Lion Guard, and where she soon caught the scent of his blood, but it was far away.
"Well?" Akito asked.
"I think I got his scent, but it's pretty far from here," Felicity told him. "I'm sure you won't mind though since you love running, Akito."
"Which direction is it?" Akito asked.
Felicity took another whiff for a moment before pointing. "Ouest."
Akito tilted his head. "Are you saying 'West'?" he then asked.
"Yes... Weast," Felicity replied, but felt frustrated. "Weast!...Guh! This language barrier!"
"Okay then, let's head West!" Akito smiled.
Felicity gave a small smile back as she was able to help. Akito and the Lion Guard soon began to go that way.
Akito stopped for a moment and then ran back to give Felicity a hug. "Thank you, cous." he then smiled before letting go and running back with the Lion Guard.
Felicity smiled as she was happy to help. Akito soon ran off with the Lion Guard to head in the way of where Ushari was as he glared out of anger.
And where he had informed the hyenas about how to summon Scar.
"Scar..." Akito glowered. "I've hated him since Mom and Dad told that story about their adventure in Pride Rock."
"Your parents lead exciting lives." Kion commented.
"They sure do." Akito smiled.
"They seem to be at the volcano." Ono reported.
"Crud." Akito gulped.
"Don't tell me..." Kion sighed.
"I was afraid of this," Akito face-palmed himself. "This is bad. This is bad. This is bad."
"Uh, I'm sure we can stop them though." Kion said nervously.
"Yeah, before they can even summon Scar." Akito added.
"Hmm... But how?" Kion soon pondered.
"I have no idea!" Akito smiled nervously like Twilight Sparkle on her first day in Canterlot High when she tried to get the crown.
"Then why are you still smiling?" Bunga asked.
"I'm panicking!" Akito smiled nervously.
"Okay, don't panic, we got this," Kion told him. "We just need a plan."
"That's right." Akito smiled.
"Just settle down, I know we can do it." Kion smiled back.
"Oh, just thinking about Scar coming back makes me wanna... Wanna..." Akito glared and he soon punched a rock that was beside him which caused the rock to crack.
"So, there is a way to talk to Scar!" Janja said to the cobra.
"Yesssssss," Ushari replied. "According to Rafiki, the evil lionsssss appear in fire."
"Well, one little eruption from this volcano, and we'll have plenty of fire." Janja told him.
"Yeah, right!" One hyena called.
"Plenty of it!" Another hyena jeered.
They all then shared a rather wicked laugh.
"Yessssss," Ushari replied. "We'll also need Rafiki or Makini's ssssssstaff. The ssssssstaff will allow us to speak to Ssssssssscar."
"We'll go after Makini," Janja suggested. "One little mandrill's no match for us hyenas."
"Yes, the real question is how will we get Kion and get him to roar?" Ushari asked.
The hyenas stopped to think about this.
"We'll want him to give us a big Roar, too," Ushari continued. "One that will make the volcano erupt in flames!"
"Ooh, ooh! I know. I know," Chungu spoke up. "Kion roared real big the time we tried to eat Bunga!"
"Yeah, it was even louder when we went after his mom; it even made the ground open up!" Chizi added.
"What? Janja, is this true?" Ushari asked.
"Yeah, yeah. The fur brains are actually right," Janja grinned. "Kion's Roars are huge when his friends and family are threatened!"
"Then that's what we have to do," Ushari smiled evilly. "Target someone Kion cares about, and bring them here!"
"Yeah, and then when Kion roars, we can bring back a legend!" Janja agreed which started a song.
The hyenas all laughed out of excitement. Akito soon plugged his ears to tune out the song out of annoyance and anger. Once the song was done, it was time for the hyenas to make their move.
"We gotta do something!" Akito said to the other Lion Guard. "I'm not sure what now, but we gotta think fast!"
The hyenas began to go out and find Kiara and to steal Makini's staff.
"Oh, what do I do?" Akito frowned as he felt anxious.
'Listen to your heart~...' A female voice advised Akito.
"Who said that?" Akito asked.
'Close your eyes and open them.' The voice told him.
Akito soon shrugged and closed his eyes and opened them as he found himself in his happy place.
"Akito, I may not be right with you, but I can sense you need guidance." Emi smiled as she appeared.
"I sure do." Akito smiled back.
Emi smiled to him as she came to him. "You guys have to work together."
"But what do we do?" Akito asked.
"Teamwork is sometimes the best solution," Emi replied. "I mean, look at me and Ash whenever we travel from region-to-region for me to become The Pokemon Princess while he becomes the world's best Pokemon Trainer."
"Yeah." Akito smiled.
"I miss you every day we part for another adventure." Emi smiled back to him.
"As do I." Akito smiled back.
Emi soon took his hands with a small smile.
Akito blushed before taking her hands back and also thinking of a way. "Hmm... What can we do to make sure they can't summon Scar?" he then pondered. He then remembered the spell he practiced with as Kion practiced the Roar against it and how successful they were.
Emi didn't say anything as she waited for him to find out for himself.
"My magic spell... It should keep everyone in the Pridelands safe..." Akito soon said.
"Perfect." Emi smiled.
"Thank you for helping, Emi," Akito smiled to his girlfriend. "When can the others and I see you again?"
"I can only answer by saying 'Soon'." Emi replied.
"I'll take it." Akito smiled.
Emi soon nuzzled up to him.
Akito blushed and soon opened his eyes and was back in the Pridelands which made Kion and the others look at him.
"Your face is red." Ono pointed out.
"Yeah, are you okay? Because I don't know if that's normal." Bunga said.
"I'm fine, really." Akito replied as he fanned himself since he thought about Emi.
"So, do you have a plan yet?" Bunga asked.
"We're safe because I helped Kion with his roar, and we have to work together." Akito replied.
"Do you think your magic will help against them then?" Kion asked.
"I'm sure it will," Akito replied. "Magic rules are rules, but loopholes are loopholes."
"Alright then." Kion said.
"Trust me," Akito smirked. "Those hyenas and that cold-hearted snake won't know what hit 'em."
"And without the volcano erupting, their plan will go down." Bunga smirked back.
"Exactly!" Akito beamed. "It's perfect!"
The others smiled as Akito finally had a way for them to beat Ushari and the hyenas, and to also foil their evil plan.
"Should we do something now?" Fuli asked.
"Just leave it to me, we'll go back to the lair from now." Akito replied, assuring them that he knew what he was doing.
"Okay." Bunga shrugged.
"Just trust me." Akito smiled.
"I hope it's worth it, even if they wanna take my sister." Kion replied.
"Aw, it's so nice that you care about your sister." Akito smiled to that.
"Yeah, well, she might be a pain at times, but she's still my sister." Kion smiled back.
"I know the feeling." Akito smiled back.
They went back to the Lion Guard lair.
"So, why did we come back here?" Bunga asked.
"I want Ushari and the hyenas to think we don't know what's going on so we can surprise them." Akito replied.
"Of course," Ono smiled. "That way they won't know that we know about their plan."
"Right," Akito smiled back. "I know, I'm brilliant."
"Don't forget humble." Fuli teased.
"Most of us humans forget to stay humble." Akito smiled sheepishly.
"I can see that." Fuli replied.
Kopa was soon seen running into the lair while his eyes were wide. "Kiara really owes me for this." He panted.
"Kopa, is there something wrong?" Akito asked the eldest lion prince.
"Those two are driving me crazy!" Kopa told him.
"Kiara and Makini?" Akito asked.
"No, Kiara's friends, Zuri and Tiifu!" Kopa replied. "They are insane!"
"Oh, come on, they can't be that bad." Akito said.
"Oh, Kopa! Where are you? I'm not done telling you what our future cubs will look like!" Tiifu's voice called out.
"Aaaugh!" Kopa groaned and tried to hide.
"Your future cubs?" Zuri's voice replied. "They're gonna be handsome like Kopa and beautiful like me because they'll be mine!"
"See what I mean?!" Kopa told Akito Kion and the Lion Guard.
"That does look pretty bad..." Akito smiled bashfully.
"You think so?!" Kopa deadpanned.
"Would you like to hide in here?" Kion asked.
"Please." Kopa replied.
"All right, go in the back, there's a little shady spot there where you won't be seen." Kion told his big brother.
"Thanks," Kopa said as he went that way before muttering. "Maybe I was better off at that zoo with Ryan and Samson."
"So, how long do you think it'll take the hyenas to get their plan started?" Bunga asked Akito as Kopa hid.
"Probably not too long," Akito replied. "I hope not anyway, I'm sure someone will come in any minute to tell us what's going on."
Estelle hung out around Pride Rock by herself a bit before she soon saw Makini running over, a bit frantically in a panic while Felicity studied her conversational English and Simon began to hunt for wild animals. Makini soon ran into the Lion Guard lair.
"That must be our cue." Akito told the others.
"Lion Guard! Lion Guard!" Makini cried out in distress.
"Makini? What's wrong?" Kion asked her.
"The hyenas! They attacked us," Makini replied. "And they... They've taken off with Kiara!"
"What?!" Kion asked even if they expected this.
"Kiara, you say?" Bunga asked.
Makini nodded.
"Don't worry, Makini, you know you can count on The Lion Guard," Akito replied. "We'll rescue her, you can count on it."
"Ono! See if you can spot Janja and his clan!" Kion called out.
"Affirmative!" Ono nodded before flying outside to take a look with his keen eyesight and soon found them. "Hapana. I see them, Kion! They're taking Kiara into the Outlands!"
'I knew it.' Akito thought to himself.
"This is all my fault," Makini pouted. "I wasn't quiet when Kiara asked me to be."
"Makini, you can't blame yourself for something Janja did." Fuli told her.
"Right. What matters now is that we rescue Kiara!" Kion added.
"'Til the Pridelands end..." Akito smiled.
"Lion Guard defend!" The others replied.
Akito, Kion, and the Lion Guard soon went off to the Outlands. Kopa poked his head out, but decided to stay hidden just to get away from Zuri and Tiifu who were obsessive about him. Luckily, Makini seemed to actually understand why.
"Don't tell anyone I'm here." Kopa told Makini.
"Okay, I promise." Makini gave a small smile to him.
"Whew." Kopa sighed.
Makini smiled to him while Kopa smiled back in relief.
