[A flock of tickbirds takes to the air.]
(Birds wabbling)
(Snorting)
[A herd of oryx crests a grassy hill and runs across the plains.]
[One oryx glances fearfully over its shoulder. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu run among the herd.]
Janja: C'mon, boys! It's lunch time, and I'm starving!
Chungu: I'm always starving!
Cheezi:(Laughing)
Kito: Hyenas!
[The hyenas pull to a halt. Through the dust, the Lion Guard emerges.]
Hyenas:(Scared yelps)
Chungu: Hey!
Kito[Kito steps forward.] I thought I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!
Janja: Did ya now? [Janja stands.] My stomach keeps forgettin'.
Chungu: His stomach forgets. [Chungu looks at Cheezi.] (Laughs) That's a good one!
Kito: Go!
Janja: Oh, no.
(The hyenas leave)
Cheezi: (Laughs) That cub's go no sense of humor!
Kito[Kito looks over her shoulder] Lion Guard, calm the herd! I'll take care of these guys.
Fuli: You got it.
[Kito goes after the hyenas)
Chungu: We're leaving? What about lunch?
Janja: All of the sudden I'm not so hungry.
Cheezi: But Janja! You said you were starving!
Janja: Just run, fur brain!
Kito: That's right! Back to the Outlands! Now! (Yells and grunts)
(Creaking)
Kito: [Kito falls into a river and grabs onto a log] (Yells and grunts) (Coughing)
[The rest of the Lion guard calms down the herd]
Beshte: That's right Easy there. You're all okay now.
Bunga: Yeah! Kito's chased those hyenas back into the Outlands!
Fuli: And she should be back by now. Ono, check on Kito.
Ono: Affirmative! [Ono flys away and looks for Kito]Hapana!
Kito:(Grunting)
Ono: [Ono comes to the rest of the lion guard] Everyone, everyone! Kito's in trouble! Come on!
Kito:(Grunting) (Gasps)
[The lion guard goes after Kito]
Bunga: Kito! Hang on, Kito, we're coming!
[Bunga jumps into the water]
Beshte: Little B, don't! The current's too strong!
Fuli: Ono! Keep pace with Kito!
Ono: Right!
[Beshte goes after Bunga and picks him up from the water]
Bunga:(Coughing) Whoa! (Panting) Thanks, Big B.
Ono:
Hang in there, Kito. Oh, no! Kito, look out! Rocks! Straight ahead!
[The log continues to carry Kito and brings her shore]
Kito: Whoa! (Panting) (Coughing) (Panting) (Sighs)
[On the other side Fuli, Beshte and Bunga apporch]
Fuli: Kito! Are you all right?
Kito:{Kito sits up} A little wet. (Coughs) But I'm okay.
Ono: [Ono lands next to Kito] But Kito, look. You're over here. In the Outlands.
Kito: I can see that, Ono. And it looks like I can take that trail upriver. Don't worry, Ono. I'll be fine. Besides, I don't have much of a choice. I definitely can't cross the river here. The water's way too rough. Lion Guard! Meet me at Flat Ridge Rock! I can cross the river there!
Beshte: Huh?
Fuli: Flat Ridge Rock?
Bunga: Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know exactly where that is! Follow me!
[Beshte and Fuli follow Bunga]
Kito: Thanks, Bunga! Ono!
Ono: Yes,Kito?
Kito: Better go with them. Make sure Bunga really does know where Flat Ridge Rock is.
Ono: Affirmative! Guys, wait up! [Ono follows Bunga, Fuli and Beshte]
[Kito climbs rocks into the Outlands and a mysterious figure watches her]
[The scene transitions and the rest of the Lion Guard walk in a forest]
Bunga: C'mon C'mon! We don't want Kito waiting up at Flat Ridge Rock wondering where we are. (Exclaims)
Beshte: What's wrong, Little B?
Bunga: [Bunga turns around] Uh, nothing.
Fuli: Bunga? Are you sure you know how to ge to Flat Ridge Rock?
Bunga: Pfft! Of course I know. It's this way Huh
Fuli:(Grunts)
[Fuli bumps into Beshte and Ono falls onto Beshte]
Ono:(Grunts) Ow.
Bunga: Wait, no, no, no, no. It's this way! [Bunga sees Ushari sleeping but wakes him up]
Ushari: (Hissing) Going somewhere Bunga?
Bunga: Nope Gotta be this way. [The lion guard walks in the opposite direction] Well, it's one of these ways.
Beshte: Too bad Kito's not here to lead us.
Ono: Do you even know where we are?
Bunga[Bunga turns around] Sure! Uh.. We're lost!
(All sigh)
(The scene tranitions back to the Kito who is lost in the Outlands)
Kito: Hmm. (Grunts) (Sniffing) [Kito turns around and Jasiri is behind her]
Jasiri: Hello! Surprise!
Kito:(Gasps)
Jasiri: [Jasiri jumps down from the rocks] (Laughs) Didn't know I was up here Did ya?
Kito: No, I...I knew you wee there the whole time... [Kito stares at Jasiri} Hyena.
Jasiri: Yep, I'm a hyena all right. You lion are so clever! (Laughs) Especially you, Kito. Leader of the Lion Guard.
Kito: You know me?
Jasiri: Just by reputation.The mark on your shoulder' a giveaway, though. (Laughs)
Kito: So, you're not in Janja's clan?
Jasiri: Janja? Yeah, that's a good one.What are you doing in the Outlands? Not exactly your territory.
Kito: I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock,so I can get back to the Pride Lands. If that's okay with you, hyena.
Jasiri: The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back to the Pride Lands, you're going the wrong way.
Kito: Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...
Jasiri: Because I want you out of my territory.
Kito: Good. I want out of your territory. (Scoffs) [Kito continues walking]
Jasiri: Then you're going the wrong way! [Jasiri follows Kito]
[The scene transitions to the rest of the Lion Guard who finally gets out of the woods]
[Ono lands next to Beshte]
Beshte: Thanks for getting us outta the woods, Ono.
Ono: No problem. But I don't know which way to go from here. I've never been to Flat Ridge Rock.
Beshte: Neither have I.
Fuli: Me neither.[Fuli looks at Bunga]
Bunga: Well, it's probably around here somewhere.
Beshte: [Beshte looks around and sees the zebra herd] All I see are grass, trees and zebras.
Fuli: [Fuli jumps] Ugh! I can't believe we don't know where to go! We're the Lion Guard. (Sighs) This never happens when Kito's around!
Beshte: Easy, Fuli. We just need to ask somebody for directions.
Thurston: [Thurston walks up to the Lion Guard] Hello, Lion Guard. I couldn't help but overhear. You need directions?
Bunga: Yeah, we do! Do you know where Flat Ridge Rock is?
Thurston: Flat Ridge Rock? Oh! Is that near Ukuni Woods? Or Big Springs?
Fuli: [Fuli shakes her head] We don't know where it is. That's why we're asking you!
Thurston: I see. Well, that's too bad. I'm not sure where it is. Now, where was I going?
Beshte: Uh, maybe back to your herd?
Thurston: Oh yes, of course. Thank you! [Thurston goes back to his herd]
Ono: Zebras. (Sighs) They never know where they're going.
Beshte: Hey! We could ask Mbeya the Rhino! He knows the Pride Lands like the back of his horn.
Fuli: Great. Any idea where we can find Mbeya?
Beshte: This time of day, Mbeya usually hangs out at the Watering Hole.
Bunga: Yeah! [Bunga walks the the wrong way and Fuli grabs him] Watering Hole, here we come.
Fuli: Ono, you lead this time.
Ono: Affirmative! Follow me!
[Beshte and Fuli follows Ono and Bunga walks the wrong way]
Fuli: This way, Bunga.
Bunga: I was taking a shortcut. [Bunga follow Fuli]
[The scene transitions back to Kito who walks in the Outlands, turns around and sees Jasiri]
Kito: Still following me?
Jasiri: You're still ignoring my advice.
Kito: About going the wrong way? (Scoffs) [Kito climbs a rock] I'm pretty sure I'm heading towards Flat Ridge Rock.
Jasiri: Maybe so, but you can't get there on this trail.
Kito: Oh, yeah? Why's that?
Jasiri: The trail ends. Here!
Kito: What? Whoa... [Kito falls into a thorn bush]
Jasiri: [Jasiri goes after Kito] (Cackling)
Kito: Heyvi kabisa!
Jasiri: (Growls)
[The scene transitions and Beshte is seen talking to Mbyea and Fuli, Beshte and Ono watch him]
Beshte: That's right, Mbeya.
Fuli: (Sighs) How long can it possibly take to ask for directions to Flat Ridge Rock? They've been talking forever!
Bunga: [Bunga picks up one hand] Beshte does like to talk.
Ono: Yes. But perhaps I'd better go talk to him. [Ono flys to Mbeya]
Mbeya: You get to be my age, you never know what might happen!
Beshte: (Laughs)
Ono: Sorry to interrupt. But Beshte? We have to meet Kito? At Flat Ridge Rock?
Beshte: Oh yeah! Guess I better be going. See you later, Mbeya.
Mbeya: Later, Beshte.
[Beshte and Ono leave Mbeya]
Fuli: So? What did he say?
Beshte: You won't believe it. Remember that heatwave we had yesterday?
Fuli: Yeah, I remember. It was hot. Now what did Mbeya say?
Beshte: He forgot to cover himself in mud! (Laughs)
Bunga: Why would Mbeya want to cover himself in mud, Big B?
Ono: That's how rhinos avoid sunburn. Common knowledge, really.
Fuli: (Sighs) I meant, what did Mbeya say about the directions?
Beshte: (Chuckles) Fuli, you don't need directions to cover yourself in mud. Just find a nice mud puddle and roll in it.
Fuli: Argh! Not directions for mud bathing. Directions for getting to Flat Ridge Rock!
Beshte: Oh, yeah! The directions to Flat Ridge Rock! I forgot to ask. Be right back. [Beshte goes back to Mbeya]
(All grunts)
Bunga: Yeah. Kito would never forget something like that.
[The scene transitions to the Outlands, Jasiri is seen helping Kito out of a thoron bush]
Jasiri: (Laughing) Hold still, this won't hurt at all. (Grunting)
Kito: Hey, what are you doing?
Jasiri: Getting you out of this thorn bush. If you'd just hold still!
Kito: What? Why would you help me? You're a hyena.
Jasiri: You lions really do think all hyenas are bad!
Kito: All the ones I've met are.
Jasiri: Like Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu? Well, obviously, I'm not like them. For one thing, they're males, which means they're foolish.
Kion: Not all males are foolish.
Jasiri: Says the daughter of a male lion flat on her back, stuck in a bush. (Laughing)
[Kito smiles at Jasiri]
[The scene transitions back to the rest of the Lion Guard who is seen walking in water]
Ono: Things would certainly go a lot better if Kito were leading us.
Bunga: Yeah. But you gotta love all these flies! [Bunga catches flies and eats them]
Fuli: Ugh. Yeah, gotta love 'em. Beshte, are you positive Mbeya said this is the way to Flat Ridge Rock?
Beshte: Yep! 'Course, he also said he's never actually been there.
Fuli:(Groans)
Ono: [Ono uses his vision and sees Flat Ridge Rock] Everyone! There's a ridge up ahead with a flat rock on top of it! It's gotta be Flat Ridge Rock!
Bunga: [Bunga jumps and gets mud on Fuli] Zuka Zama! Kito, here we come!
Fuli: This time, I'll lead the way. Comin' through. [Fuli speeds ahead]
Bunga: Fuli, slow down! How can you lead us when we can't keep up?
[Bunga, Beshte and Ono follow Fuli]
[The scene transitions back to the Outlands and, Kito is out of the thorn bush]
Kito: Thanks... I guess.
Jasiri: You guess?
Kito: Well, yeah! You could have told me the trail ended before I went over the hill!
Jasiri: Yeah. But then I wouldn't have seen the leader of the Lion Guard rolling down a hill! (Laughs)
Kito: Okay, you've had your laugh. Now I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?
Jasiri: Follow that trail.It'll take you to Flat Ridge Rock. And back to your beloved Pride Lands.
Kito: Thanks.(Grunts) [Kito is limping]
Jasiri: You're limping.
Kito: I'm fine. Just a little sore from the fall. I can handle it.
Jasiri: Okay, tell ya what. It's kinda my fault you're hurt. So I'll stick with you until you can see Flat Ridge Rock.
Kito: Okay. I mean, if you want to.
Jasiri: What I want? (Laughs) I want you out of my territory!
Kito: (Grunts) Yeah, well, me too.
[The scene transitions back to Beshte, Bunga and Ono who go to Flat Ridge rock and sees Fuli]
Bunga: (Grunting and sighing)
All: Huh? Fuli?
Fuli: [Fuli is seen cleaning herself] Hi, guys. What kept you? I even had time to clean up.
Beshte: Uh, Fuli? Usually Kito wouldn't get so far ahead that the rest of us have trouble keeping up.
Fuli: Oh. Sorry, guys.
Bunga: Wait! This is Flat Ridge Rock?
Ono: Well, this rock is pretty flat. And it's on a ridge.
Bunga: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! I know this place! I've been here hundreds of times! You know, there's a great shortcut we could have used!
All: Bunga!
Bunga: What?
[The scene transitions back to the Outlands and a lizard eats another bug]
Lizard: (Gulps)
Kito: See that? That's the Circle of Life for you.
Jasiri: Wait. You think I don't know about the Circle of Life?
Kito: Well, you are a hyena.
Jasiri: [Jasiri puts her face in front of Kio] Look. I know Janja's clan is greedy and eats more than their share. But most hyenas respect the Circle of Life! We're the clean-up crews- [Jasiri walks away from Kito] picking up after all the sloppy eaters. We hyenas eat what you lions leave behind.
Kito: Oh. I guess I never really thought about it like that.
Jasiri: (Laughs) [Jasiri comes up to Kito]. Of course not.You think hyenas and lions are so different. But we're not! We're more similar than you think, Kito. Sisi ni sawa.
Kito: You're saying we're the same? No, I don't think so.
[Music starts]
Kito: You think that life
[Kito strides around Jasiri, who rolls her eyes.]
is one big game
You joke, you laugh,
[Kito turns her back on Jasiri.]
you take no blame
I'm telling you,
there's just no way
that we're the same
Jasiri: You got to look past
what you see
[Jasiri sidles up next to Kito.]
Try not to judge so easily
[Jasiri strides to Kito's other side.]
Believe it or not
[Jasiri leans toward Kito, who recoils.]
you're a lot like me
[Jasiri hops onto a rock.]
Say, believe it or not,
you're a lot like me
[Jasiri hops off the rock, with Kito watching.]
Sisi ni sawa
means we're the same
[Kito strides after Jasiri.]
Kito: I hear what you're saying
but you need to explain
[Jasiri looks into a pool of water.]
Jasiri: At the end of the day
it's like water and rain
[Kito looks into the pool of water, confused.]
Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
Maybe I laugh,
[Kito sidles up next to Jasiri, smiling.]
maybe you purr
But take a look
under the fur
[Jasiri hops onto a rock.]
Deep in our heart
is what matters for sure
[Jasiri bounds from rock to rock, and Kito follows her.]
'Cause we both know
we're higher called
[Kito and Jasiri watch a line of ants march past.]
Like every creature,
big and small
The Circle of Life should be
[Kito smirks. Kito and Jasiri look up at the sky.]
what's guiding us all
The Circle of Life
will guide us all
[Kito follows Jasiri, both dancing to the beat.]
Sisi ni sawa
means we're the same
[Jasiri looks at the spots on one of her shoulders.]
Kito:
Though you've got your spots
[Kito looks up to where her mane would be.]
and lions have a mane
[Kito and Jasiri approach the pool of water.]
Jasiri: At the end of the day,
it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
Kito and Jasiri: Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
[Kito and Jasiri tap their paws to the beat.]
Kito: Never thought that
we'd see eye to eye
[Jasiri looks down on Kito from where she is lying on a rock.]
Jasiri:
I can't imagine why
[Jasiri stands and hops off the rock.]
It's very easy if you try
Kito: Still to me,
[Jasiri bounds from rock to rock, and Kito follows her. She hops onto a rock.]
they're brand new thoughts
Not to judge
hyenas by their spots
[Jasiri approaches from below Kito.]
Jasiri: Sisi ni sawa
[Kito follows Jasiri, both bobbing their heads to the beat.]
Jasiri: Sisi ni sawa
means we're the same
[Jasiri turns around and walks backward so she can face Kito.]
Kito: Forget about the past
[Jasiri turns around and walks backward so she can face Kito.]
when there's nothing to gain
[Jasiri turns around and walks backward so she can face Kito.]
Jasiri and Kito:
At the end of the day
[Kito and Jasiri slide to the edge of the pool of water. They look at their reflections.]
it's like water and rain
[Jasiri hops onto Kito's head.]
Sisi ni sawa
[Kitoand Jasiri separate and go back to back.]
we are the same
[Jasiri follows Kito, both dancing to the beat.]
Sisi ni sawa
[Kito and Jasiri spring apart to face one another.]
means we're the same
Forget about the past
[Kito and Jasiri bound off in opposite directions.]
when there's nothing to gain
[Jasiri looks at her reflection in the pool of water.]
At the end of the day,
[A leaf disturbs the water, and Jasiri's reflection turns into Kito's.]
it's like water and rain
[Jasiri flicks water at Kito.]
Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
[Kito and Jasiri bound down the trail.] Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
[Kito and Jasiri pause.]
{Jasiri strides past Kito.]
Jasiri:
Sisi ni sawa
we are the same
[Music ends]
Jasiri:(Sniffing)
Kito: What's wrong?
Jasiri: We're in Janja's territory. And, believe it or not, we don't get along! (LAUGHS) Don't worry. Flat Ridge Rock is right over there.You're almost home.
Kito: Asante, Jasiri. Thanks for your help. [Kito leaves]
Jasiri: Sure. Bye, Kito!
Kito: [Kito looks down at Jasiri} Hey, Jasiri! If you ever need my help...
Jasiri: Help? From a lion? (Laughs) That's a good one!
Kito: Okay [Kito continues walking to the Pride Lands]
[Jasiri sees some rocks fall and backs away. Janja comes up to Jasiri]
Janja: (Snarling)
Jasiri: Janja!
Janja: Well, well. If it isn't Jasiri. Thought I told you to stay off our turf!
Jasiri: Just passing through.So move. Or do I have to move you myself?
Hyenas: (Laughing) [Cheezi and Chungu stand next to Janja]
Janja: Big talk, coming from someone who's all alone!
Jasiri: Okay, I'll take another path.
[More hyenas come and surround Jasiri]
(Hyenas growling)
Jasiri: So, you figured out that only three of you didn't stand a chance against me.
[The hyenas back Jasiri into a corner}
Janja: C'mon, boys .Let's remind Jasiri what happens to someone who wanders into our part of the Outlands!
Jasiri: (Off-screen) These all the hyenas you got, Janja?
Kito: [Kito turns around] Jasiri?
Cheezi: (Snarling) Me first! (Laughs) [Jasiri pins down Cheezi] (Grunts) (Groaning)
Jasiri: (Laughs) [Jasiri turns around] Who's next?
Chungu: (Snarling) [Jasiri pins down Chungu] (Screams)
Janja: (Grunts) [Janja jumps onto Jasiri] Enough playing around. (Growling) [Kito jumps down from a rock and attacks Janja] (Grunts)
Janja: (Groans) Kito?
Jasiri: What are you doing here?
Kito: I'm here to help.
[Jasiri and Kito face off agaisnt Janja's clan]
Jasiri: If you say so...But I got 'em right where I want 'em! (Blows) [Jasiri kicks a hyena]
Hyenas: (Yelping) (Grunting)
Kito : Yeah, I can tell. (Growling) (Grunts) (Grunting) [Kito knocks into hyenas)
Jasiri: [Jasiri sees two hyenas behind Kito] Kito! Behind you! [Jasiri knocks down the hyenas behind Kito]
Kito: Nice move, Jasiri.[Kito ducks Jasiri's head and bumps head with the other hyena]
Jasiri: Thanks. You're not so bad yourself. For a lion.
Hyena:(Snarling)
Kito: Uh-oh. Looks like we're cornered.
[The hyenas corner Jasiri and Kito]
[Hyenas laughing hysterically]
Kito: [Kito puts her paw in front of Jasiri] Jasiri, get behind me! Now!
Jasiri: What? Why?
Kito: Trust me.
Jasiri: Can't believe I'm trusting a lion. [Jasiri stands behind Kito]
Janja: Don't know why you're in the Outlands helpin' a hyena, Kito, But it's the last thing you're gonna do. (Laughs) Get 'em, boys!
Chungu: Got you now!
Cheezi: Yeah! (Laughs)
(Wind Whooshing)
[Jasiri looks at the clouds above her]
Kito:(Loud roars) [ Kito uses the Roar of the Elders at the hyenas]
[The rest of the Lion Guard hears Kito's roar and goes to her]
Bunga: Zuka Zama! Kito's in trouble!
Kito: (Continues roaring)
Hyenas: (Yelping and grunting)
[The hyenas are all seen on top of each other]
Janja: Uh. I hate that roar. (Yelps) [Kito stares at Janja] Come on, boys! (Yelping)
[The hyenas run away]
Jasiri: (Laughs) Look at 'em go! That was the funniest thing I've ever seen!
Jasiri and Kito:(Laughing)
Jasiri: Okay, that roar thing? That is definitely something we don't have in common.
Kito: I've seen you in action. You don't need a roar.
Jasiri: You know, I never thought a lion would help a hyena. [Jasiri bumps Kito]
Kito: Well, not all lions are alike.
[Jasiri smiles at Kito and the rest of the Lion Guard come to Kito]
Ono: He's over here!
Bunga: Kito!
[The rest of the Lion Guard sees Jasiri]
Fuli: (Growling)
Jasiri: (Growling)
Fuli: Back off, hyena!
(Both growling)
Kito: [Kito stands in front of Jasiri] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy! She's a friend!
Fuli: She is?
Jasiri: I... I am? [Jasiri smiles and wags her tail]
Kito: Definitely.
Bunga[Bunga comes up to Kito and puts one hand on her head] But she's a hyena.
Kito: I know. But not all hyenas are like Janja. Some of them are good. She's one of them.
Fuli: Really?
Kito: She got me through the Outlands.
Jasiri: And she saved me from Janja and his clan.
Beshte: Well, any friend of Kito is a friend of ours.
[Ono nods]
Kito: You should have seen her take on Cheezi and Chungu. [Kito moves her paw] She was fierce.
Fuli: Huh. I like her already.
[The Lion Guard returns to the Pride Lands}
Bunga: Sure is nice having Kito lead us again. Even if he is walking behind us.
[Jasiri and Kito stand on top of Flat Ridge Rock]
Jasiri: Well, I better get back to my territory. I'm sure your roar doesn't scare off Janja forever.
Kito: [Kito rolls her eyes] (Chuckles) If only!
Jasiri: (Laughs) Bye, Kito. It's been fun.
Kito: Bye, Jasiri. Maybe I'll see you again sometime?
Jasiri: Not if I see you first! (Laughs)
[Jasiri goes back to the Outlands and Kito goes back with her friends]
Kito: Hey, guys! Wait for me!
A/n Hey everyone!!! I know it's been a while since I updated I've just had a lot on my plate but I'm hoping to start updating regularly!! Thank you for you patience and understanding ;)
