The Lion Guard

C'mon, boys!

It's lunch time, and I'm starving!

I'm always starving!

Hyenas!

I told you to stay out of the Pride Lands!

Did ya now? My stomach keeps forgettin'.

His stomach forgets.

That's a good one!

- Go! - Oh, no.

That cub's got no sense of humor!

Lion Guard! Calm the herd!

- I'll take care of these guys. - You got it.

We're leaving? What about lunch?

All of a sudden I'm not so hungry.

But Janja! You said you were starving!

Just run, fur brain!

That's right! Back to the Outlands!

Now!

That's right. Easy there.

You're all okay now.

Yeah! Kion's chased those hyenas back into the Outlands!

And he should be back by now.

- Ono, check on Kion. - Affirmative!

Hapana!

Everyone, everyone! Kion's in trouble!

Come on!

Kion!

- Hang on, Kion, we're coming! - Little B, don't!

The current's too strong!

- Ono! Keep pace with Kion! - Right!

Whoa!

Thanks, Big B.

Hang in there, Kion.

Oh, no! Kion, look out!

- Rocks! Straight ahead! - Whoa!

Kion! Are you all right?

A little wet.

But I'm okay.

But Kion, look. You're over here.

- In the Outlands. - 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!

- Huh? - Flat Ridge Rock?

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know exactly where that is.

Follow me!

- Thanks, Bunga! Ono! - Yes, Kion?

Better go with them.

Make sure Bunga really does know where Flat Ridge Rock is.

Affirmative! Guys, wait up!

C'mon! C'mon!

We don't want Kion waitin' up at Flat Ridge Rock,

wondering where we are.

- What's wrong, Little B? - Uh, nothing.

Bunga? Are you sure you know how to get to Flat Ridge Rock?

Pfft! Of course, I know. It's this way!

- Huh? - Ow.

Wait, no, no, no, no. It's this way!

Going somewhere, Bunga?

Nope! Gotta be this way.

Well, it's one of these ways.

Too bad Kion's not here to lead us.

- Do you even know where we are? - Sure! Uh...

We're lost!

Hmm.

Hello!

Surprise!

Didn't know I was up here. Did ya?

No, I...

I knew you were there the whole time.

- Hyena. - Yep, I'm a hyena all right.

You lions are so clever!

Especially you, Kion.

Leader of the Lion Guard.

- You know me? - Just by reputation.

The mark on your shoulder's a giveaway, though.

So, you're not in Janja's clan?

Janja? Yeah, that's a good one.

What are you doing in the Outlands?

Not exactly your territory.

I'm going to Flat Ridge Rock,

so I can get back to the Pride Lands.

If that's okay with you, hyena.

The name's Jasiri. And if you are headed back

to the Pride Lands, you're going the wrong way.

Uh-huh. And I should trust a hyena because...

Because I want you out of my territory.

Good. I want out of your territory.

Then you're going the wrong way!

Thanks for getting us outta the woods, Ono.

No problem. But I don't know which way to go from here.

I've never been to Flat Ridge Rock.

- Neither have I. - Me neither.

Well, it's probably around here somewhere.

All I see are grass, trees and zebras.

Ugh! I can't believe we don't know where to go!

We're the Lion Guard!

This never happens when Kion's around!

Easy, Fuli. We just need to ask somebody for directions.

Hello, Lion Guard. I couldn't help but overhear.

- You need directions? - Yeah, we do!

Do you know where Flat Ridge Rock is?

Flat Ridge Rock?

Oh! Is that near Ukuni Woods? Or Big Springs?

We don't know where it is. That's why we're asking you!

I see. Well, that's too bad.

I'm not sure where it is.

- Now, where was I going? - Uh, maybe back to your herd?

Oh yes, of course! Thank you!

Zebras.

They never know where they're going.

Hey! We could ask Mbeya the Rhino!

He knows the Pride Lands like the back of his horn.

Great. Any idea where we can find Mbeya?

This time of day, Mbeya usually hangs out at the watering hole.

Yeah! Watering hole, here we come.

Ono, you lead this time.

Affirmative! Follow me!

This way, Bunga.

I-I was taking a shortcut.

Still following me?

You're still ignoring my advice.

About going the wrong way?

I'm pretty sure I'm heading towards Flat Ridge Rock.

Maybe so, but you can't get there on this trail.

Oh, yeah? Why's that?

- The trail ends. Here! - What? Whoa...

Heyvi kabisa!

How long can it possibly take

to ask for directions to Flat Ridge Rock?

- They've been talking forever! - Beshte does like to talk.

Yes. But perhaps I'd better go talk to him.

You get to be my age, you never know what might happen!

Sorry to interrupt. But Beshte?

We have to meet Kion? At Flat Ridge Rock?

Oh yeah! Guess I better be going.

- See you later, Mbeya. - Later, Beshte.

- So? What did he say? - You won't believe it.

Remember that heatwave we had yesterday?

Yeah, I remember. It was hot.

- Now what did Mbeya say? - He forgot to cover himself in mud!

Why would Mbeya want to cover himself in mud, Big B?

That's how rhinos avoid sunburn. Common knowledge, really.

I meant, what did Mbeya say about the directions?

Fuli, you don't need directions to cover yourself in mud.

Just find a nice mud puddle and roll in it.

Argh! Not directions for mud bathing.

Directions for getting to Flat Ridge Rock!

Oh, yeah! The directions to Flat Ridge Rock!

I forgot to ask. Be right back.

Yeah. Kion would never forget something like that.

Hold still, this won't hurt at all.

Hey, what are you doing?

Getting you out of this thorn bush.

If you'd just hold still!

What? Why would you help me? You're a hyena.

You lions really do think all hyenas are bad!

All the ones I've met are.

Like Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu?

Well, obviously, I'm not like them.

For one thing, they're males. Which means they're foolish.

- No offense. - Not all males are foolish.

Says the male lion flat on his back, stuck in a bush.

Things would certainly go a lot better if Kion were leading us.

Yeah. But you gotta love all these flies!
