*THE LION GUARD* Title : "Battle for the Preide Lands"

The Pride Lands will never end while the Lion Guard is here.

Just like this tiny tree, we'll keep growing stronger.

Scar will never defeat us!

We'll never give up.

We'll fight for what's right.

We'll defend the Circle of Life!

Yeah! What you guys said!

Lion Guard!

Anga? What's going on?

One of the bird patrols spotted Scar's army.

Near Mapango Cliffs.

Then that's where we're going.

Till the Pride Lands end...

Lion Guard defend!

Well done, Kion. Lion Guard.

Your Majesty. Thanks, Dad.

Yes, yes!

Kion and the Lion Guard are growing up.

And Kion's Roar is more powerful than ever.

Yes. That's true.

Dad? What is it?

You and the Guard have proven

you can defend the Pride Lands.

But it hasn't stopped Scar's army.

We need a change in strategy.

I say,

we take the fight with Scar into the Outlands.

- Hapana. - No way.

Seriously?

'Bout time if you ask me.

It is time.

Time to defeat Scar and his followers.

Once and for all.

Dad, even if we defeat Scar's army,

we don't know how to defeat Scar himself.

Without his followers, Scar will be powerless

and we can have peace in the Pride Lands once again.

We can help, too, Your Majesty.

My hyenas know the Outlands better than anyone.

Thank you, Jasiri.

Well...

I guess if everyone

who respects the Circle of Life helps us...

Yes! Yes! Everyone can help!

Right.

Lion Guard,

we need everyone who's willing to fight.

I'll get the crocs and antelopes.

I'll talk to the elephants and rhinos.

Anga and I will assemble the birds.

And I'll get the galagos.

Galagos?

I know what you're thinking.

But if we're invading the Outlands,

we'll need all the help we can get.

Invade the Outlands?

We better tell Scar.

Janja!

Why can't we go back to our den in the Outlands?

Yeah, it's nice and warm back there.

'Cause Scar wants us to guard this dump.

So the Lion Guard can't reclaim it for the elephants.

The Lion Guard?

I'm tired of always havin' to fight them.

Yeah! They keep kickin' our tails!

It's even worse now that they're bigger.

Kion's roar has gotten bigger, too.

And he's got lots of other animals helping him.

Even Jasiri and her hyenas!

Yeah, yeah. I know. I know.

Maybe Jasiri was right.

Her hyenas seem to be happy working with the Lion Guard.

Wonder if we would be, too.

Why am I so confused?

Oh. It all used to be so simple.

What changed? Think!

Mm. Maybe we are on the wrong side.

Wrong side?

The wrong side of what, Janja?

Oh, never mind, furbrains.

What an interesting turn of events.

Wouldn't you say so, Ushari?

With the Lion Guard preparing to attack the Outlands?

And Janja thinking of joining Jasiri?

I'm not sure "interesting" is the word I'd use...

Oh, don't worry, Ushari.

I'm always two steps ahead.

Ah!

Janja! There you are!

Uh, yeah.

You, uh, wanted to see me?

Oh, yes.

It's time for another attack on the Pride Lands.

Another attack?

But the Lion Guard just kicked our tails this morning.

Maybe we could lay off of 'em for a bit?

Give me and the boys some time to recover?

The Lion Guard is planning to attack the Outlands.

Perhaps they've learned

that Kion is now powerful enough

to destroy me.

Kion can destroy you?

Oh, yes.

But Kion would have to use

the most powerful roar he can muster.

And it would have to be here, in the Caldera.

The fire of the volcano would utterly consume me.

I'd cease to exist.

Really? Oh...

So...

It's time for the final battle against the Pride Lands.

Time to say goodbye to Simba and the Royal Family!

But...

I'll need the hyenas

to distract the Lion Guard for the plan to work.

Just distract them?

You merely have to lure them into their Lair

and keep them there

while the rest of the plan unfolds.

I suppose we could do that...

Excellent!

Shupavu will lead you to Lion Guard Lair tonight.

Now, go!

Prepare your hyenas!

Uh, okay, Scar.

In the meantime, Shupavu,

fetch me Reirei, Kibari and Mzingo.

We will need their help as well.

Yes, Scar.

If the plan works, we'll soon be rid

of the Royal Family and the Lion Guard.

And a potential hyena revolt.

And if the plan doesn't work?

I'm two steps ahead, Ushari.

I already have another plan in place.

Zazu, report.

Hadithi has just arrived

with the gorilla warrior, Shujaa.

That's everyone.

Indeed.

The Lion Guard has gathered all the other herds.

Excellent.
