"Scar, you're a royal. You have to know something about The Lion Guard."

"My Father has never taught me about them. I don't even know what they do, Zira. I think I'm suppose to know about them when I'm Mufasa's age."

"How about we ask Rafiki?"

"Good idea, let's go see him. He's talking to my brother right now."

They exit the den and Scar spotted Rafiki talking to Mufasa at Priderock peak. Scar called him over.

"Yes, Prince Scar?" Rafiki bowed down to him.

"What's The Lion Guard? Why am I the leader?"

"Scar, when you were young, you tried roaring at Mufasa when he was picking on you and what came out was a powerful, adult roar. Your Mother and Father thought that you weren't ready and you should know when you're older. We all know that the ancestors wanted you too be the leader when you first stood up to Mufasa."

"But what is The Lion Guard?" Zira asked.

"The Lion Guard protects the Pridelands. You have to select the keenest of sight, the fastest, bravest and strongest lions in the Pride who will be helping you but you have now been gifted the Roar Of The Elders. You can only use the roar when fighting or there will be serious consequences."

"Cool. Who will you select Scar?" Zira wanted to know if Scar will choose her.

Scar thought for a moment. "Shomari for the fastest, Jabari as the bravest, Badru is the keenest of sight and Enzi as the strongest." He saw Zira's face fall. "Sorry Zira. If I were to pick you, it would hurt me if you got seriously injured or even die."

"It's fine. I'll go gather them up for you." Zira ran to the bottom of Priderock.

"When they come, Mufasa will give them an introduction speech and then he'll place his paw on your shoulder. When he has done that, you will place your paw on their shoulders to declare yourselves as The Lion Guard." Rafiki explained as he and Scar went tell Mufasa the news.

"Mufasa, you've known this for ages and you never told me!" Scar was mad at Mufasa.

"Known what?" Mufasa was a bit confused.

"That I'm the leader of The Lion Guard!"

"I did it for your safety. I didn't want you to master the roar but not know how to kill a Wildebeest."

"Really? You care about me that much?"

"Yes. I know I treat you badly but it's the only way I can fit in."

"It's ok."

After a moment, Zira returned with the unexpected cubs that Scar had chosen. Mufasa did a quick speech about The Lion Guard and placed his paw on Scar shoulder, the Night scar did it to the rest. After the ceremony, The Lion Guards looked excitedly at their shoulders to see The Lion Guard symbol were Scars paw was placed.

"Everyone, this is my best friend Zira. She's allowed to hand out with us just not with the fighting." Scar introduced Zira to them.

"That's cool. Didn't we go hunting together that one time? " Shomari smiled.

"Yes. It was for private lessons because I am the worst at hunting." Zira reminded him.

"I was to shy to say this when we went hunting but, you're the most gorgeous lioness I've ever seen."

"Back of Shomari! She isn't interested, ok. Me and Zira want to start being friends with you so don't push our buttons."

"Guys, calm down." Enzi separated Shomari and Scar. There was an awkward moment of silence. "I can't wait to start fighting because I don't think we even need to fight our enemies for them to be scared. I recon we won't even die in a fight."

"Enzi, you idiot. Look at us. We're only teens. Other enemies will want to challenge us so of course we are going to die. Why are you even my brother?" Jabari looked angrily at Enzi.

"Be positive, Jabari. Mother wants us to be positive so let's please her. And don't think that we're going to die because we aren't."

"Says so much for being twins am I right Zira?" Shomari nudged Zira which made Scar angry but he didn't show it.

"Has anyone seen Zuzu today? I can't find her at Priderock or her nest." Mufasa rushed to them with pain on his face.

"Zuzu? No. Guys we need to look for Zuzu. She's the only family me and Mufasa have left."

"Is she your cousin or.." Badru looked confused.

"Like a mother to us. Zira, you stay here in case she arrives and search with Mufasa. We'll go out to the Savannah to find her."

"Got it. Go. Now, before it's to late!" Zira started searching with Mufasa.

The Lion Guard headed out into the Savannah hoping they'll find her. Scar spotted a hornbill crying next to a familiar body.

"Hey guys, I think that's Zuzu. Come on." Scar and The Lion Guard head over to the sobbing hornbill. Zuzu was motionless next to him.
