Kion? Kiara?
Let's go!

We're gonna be late for
the elephants' concert.

You know it's considered
an insult

if the royal family is
not there for the first song.

The first song's the best part!

- Race you there.
- Oh, yeah.

- Shall we?
- Yes. But we don't need to race.

Kion! Kion!

We've got antelopes stuck in a
mud pool near Chekundu Cliffs.



- Anyone hurt?
- No, but they're really stuck.

That big rainstorm last night
must've caused a mud slide.

Dad? I'm gonna have to miss the
elephants' rainy season concert.

It's okay, Kion. I'm sure
the elephants will understand.

Keeping the animals of the
Pride Lands safe is your duty.

Right. Let's go, Ono.

Say hi to Ma Tembo
and the elephants for me!

- We will.
- Stay alert, son!

Come on. We still have
a concert to go to.

Do you think the elephants will do that

song with all the
really loud trumpeting?

They always do the song
with the loud trumpeting.

It's tradition.

Sometimes I think
my greatest duty as King



is upholding the
Pride Lands' traditions.

And one day, it will be
your duty, Princess.

Attending concerts is one
duty I know I can handle.

- Simba? What is it?
- Do you feel that?

- Kiara! Move uphill! Now!
- What? Why?

Sinkhole!

Get back!

Oh, my!

- Daddy!
- Simba!

Twende Kiboko!

Giddy-up, anti-lanti-lope!

- Whoa! What was that?
- Looking.

Hapana!
A sinkhole! Someone's fallen in...

And I think it's the King!

Simba?

Dad? Is he all right?

Sorry, Kion. I...
I couldn't tell.

Kion, go. We got this.

Thanks, Fuli.
Ono, lead the way!

Affirmative!

Come on, move it!
The sooner we get you outta here,

the sooner we can help Kion!

Easy, Little B.
I got just the trick.

There we go!

Nice one, Big B.

Now let's go help Kion save Simba!

Till the Pride Lands end...

Lion Guard defend!

Simba?

Simba!

Simba!

Daddy!

I'm... I'm okay, Nala!

I'm okay.

Can you climb out?

I don't think so.
There's nothing to grab onto.

And I'm too far down to jump out.

- Kion! Over here!
- Mom, Mom! Is Dad okay?

I think so. But he's stuck.

Don't worry, Your Majesty!
Lion Guard to the rescue!

Bunga! Wait!

- Zuka Zama!
Whoa!
- eLittle B!

- Bunga?
- H-Hey! That was fun!

Hello to you too, Bunga.

Whoa! What happened
to your mane?

Bunga.

What were you thinking,
jumping down here?

What was I thinking?

- I was thinking of rescuing you.
- Exactly how?

Uh... Give ya a boost?

Bunga? Dad?
You two all right?

Bunga is fine.
My head cushioned his fall.

What happened, Dad?
How'd you get down there?

There was a sinkhole and I fell in.

Sinkholes are fairly common
after a big storm, Your Highness.

- You don't say.
- Don't worry, Dad.

We'll find a way to get
both of you outta there.

How hard can it be?

I got down here
easy enough. Sheesh.

Ono, fly down and take a look.

Affirmative!
I'll see what I can see.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

- Eh, just call me Bunga!
- Hello, Ono.

Kion wanted me to check
things out down here.

And what do you see?

Uh...
looks like you're stuck in a hole?

Yes. That's what it
looks like to me, too.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.
Kion will think of something.

He always does.

Ono, report! Any roots
they can grab hold of?

Rocks they can climb?
Anything?

Unfortunately, no.
It's just a deep hole with no way out.

And the walls
are kind of crumbly.

I'd, uh, appreciate it if you
didn't send me down there again.

Oh... Okay, Ono.

How deep is it?
Can I see? Whoa!

Everyone, get back!

Kiara!

Huwezi!

Kiara, are you all right?

- Yeah, thanks to you, Fuli.
- Happy to do it.

Okay.
Everyone needs to stay back.

Kion's right.
These sinkholes can get wider.

And we don't want
anyone else to fall in.

Yeah. It's bad enough Dad and
Bunga are stuck down there.

Well, at least they have
each other.

Hmm. I got it!
We dig our way out.

Bunga, you can dig your way
into a hole. But not out.

I know!
We fill the hole with water

and then float up to the top!
Got any water?

That's a terrible idea, Bunga.

You have to think
before you act!

Doesn't sound like Bunga and
Dad are getting along, does it?

No, it doesn't.

- But I'm not exactly surprised.
- What do you mean?

Well, Bunga is a good friend,
and very brave.

- But he can be... trying.
- Trying?

Yeah, as in Dad's trying
not to let Bunga drive him crazy.

I know Bunga can be
kind of stubborn,

but he's my best friend.
And Dad...

Can also be a bit stubborn.

No, no, no.
This'll totally work.

I climb on top of you and then
you jump as high as you can.

Then, when you're mid-air,
I jump off of you

and right out
of the hole! Ready?

You are not climbing on me!

Well, yeah, not if you keep
moving around like that.

Bunga, no!

Okay. Fine.

I'll just climb
up there myself.

Just need a running start.

Zuka Zama!

Bunga, I wouldn't do that
if I were you...

Whoa!

Oh, no.

Dad!

- Simba!
- Daddy!

Little B!
Bunga!

I don't see them.

Bunga?
Bunga!

Wow!
It was really dark under there!

See what happens
when you don't think first?

Eh. I'm okay.

Dad? Bunga?
What happened?

Bunga tried to climb the wall.

'Cause I'm such a good climber!

Sure, when you're
climbing trees!

Climbing trees. Hmm...
I have an idea.

Lion Guard, you're with me.
Be right back, Mom!

Simba! Kion's got a plan
to get you out.

Just hang in there.

I don't have a choice.

But that doesn't mean
that you have to stay here.

What do you mean?

You and Kiara should go on
to the elephants' concert.

- We're already late.
- But they're expecting all of us.

What about tradition?

The elephants will be honored
to have at least

some of the royal family
in attendance.

But if none of us show up,
they'll be worried.

Simba, I'm more worried
about you.

I'm fine, Nala.
I'm just stuck in a hole.

Kion and the Lion Guard
will get me out.

But royal duties
must not be ignored.

Okay, we'll go.

And hopefully, Kion will
have you out of there soon.

Yes. The sooner, the better.

Looking good.

Just keep going straight.

That's it! We're there!

Dad, Bunga. We're gonna tip
this tree down into the hole.

Then you can just climb up.

Great idea, Kion!

Hey wait. When Kion suggests
climbing, it's a great idea?

But when I suggest...

Bunga, just take cover.

Right!

All right, Lion Guard.
We're ready.

Twende Kiboko!

Whoa!

- Bunga?
- I didn't hurt anybody, did I?

That didn't work as well
as I thought it would.

Good try anyway, Kion.

Good try?
You kidding? It's perfect!

Just look at all these bugs!
Mmm.

Hey, look at that!
A hole!

Hmm. It must've opened
when the tree hit.

And there's a tunnel!

Simba! This is it!
Our way out!

Bunga, wait.

We have no idea
where this tunnel leads.

Unless... It might be
part of Nandembo Caverns.

The Caverns do turn
in this direction.

The entrance isn't
too far from here.

Dad, if you and Bunga
go through the tunnel,

I'll take the Guard
into the Caverns.

With any luck, we'll
meet you in the middle!

Okay! Let's go!

- Be careful!
- I will.

Bunga, on the other hand...
not so sure.

Hey, Simba!
You comin' or not?

Oh, boy.

Lion Guard, let's head to
Nandembo Caverns.

Uh, Kion? You know those
caves can be pretty tricky.

I'm not really used to
navigating from below.

Ono's right, Kion.

Nandembo Caverns
are a twisty maze.

We could get totally lost
down there.

Yeah. Hippos aren't
exactly experts

when it comes to tunnels.

Hmm. But we do know someone
who is an expert at tunnels!

Of course!
I'll go get him.

Meet us at the Caverns!

Affirmative.

Come on, Simba!
Ya gotta keep up!

Doing my best, Bunga.

Well, hurry up.
Squeeze faster.

Yeah! Now we're
gettin' somewhere!

Oh.

Bunga.

We need to talk
about which way to go.

Why talk when you can walk?

Bunga, wait!

You need to stop and think!

You can't just pick a random
tunnel and expect it to lead out!

I know what I'm doing.

Or maybe I don't.

Bunga, please. Just stop
and listen to me for once.

Fine, fine. You decide.
Which way do we go?

Well, okay.

I think we should go down
the largest tunnel.

- It's the most likely to lead to the...
- Nah!

We should go down this tunnel!
Duh.

Did you just say "duh" to me?

Uh, no, no.
I was just, uh, singing!

# Duh-duh, duh-duh,
da-da-duh-duh #

You do remember who you're
talking to, don't you?

I know who you are.

You're Simba! You're my
best friend's dad.

I'm also the King!

No going back now.
Thanks to someone's cave in.

Well, you caused
a cave in, too. Back in...

- In the hole.
- Yeah, o-o-okay.

But I was trying to get out.

It wasn't 'cause
I got all mad.

Of course I got mad.

Do you have any idea
how annoying it is

to be trapped with you
and your crazy ideas?

Crazy ideas? Crazy ideas?

You're right.
I'm full of crazy ideas!

And I just had another one.

How about you go down
your tunnel,

and I'll go down mine.

Then you won't have to put up
with me and my crazy ideas anymore.

Fine!

See? I knew this tunnel
would be easy going.

Starting to get
a little cramped.

But I think we can fit,
Your Highness.

Just as long as we...

Oh, yeah.
It's just me now. Fine.

So nice to finally
hear myself think.

Looks like I was right.

This has to be the way out.

But if this is the right
way out,

Bunga's going the wrong way.

And annoying or not,

he is Kion's best friend.

And my subject.

I can't let him stay lost
down here.

If Simba had just listened to me,

I bet we'd be
outta here by now.

That you Simba?

Change your mind?

Huh. Falling rocks.

Oh, well. No worries.

No worries?

How'd you know my uncle's song?

I knew it before you did.

They sang it to me all the
time when I was growing up.

Oh, right! They raised you.

Just like they raised me.
That kind of makes us...

- Brothers? Sort of?
- I never thought of it that way.

But, I guess it sort of does.

I'm, uh, sorry I yelled at you,
bro.

That's King bro to you.

Too bad Timon
and Pumbaa aren't here

to see us finally getting along.

- It would make them happy.
- You know them.

Hakuna matata?
They're always happy!

Why? Why?!
Oh, cruel savannah!

To take both our babies
on the same day?

I know, Timon. I know!

Fate is a fickle mongoose!

Remind me again. Huh.
Why did you bring them here?

I thought Timon could help.

Meerkats are supposed
to be great in tunnels.

And now we're lost in this crazy maze.

Oh, I'm so turned around I'm
afraid we'll never get out alive!

Uh, Timon, Pumbaa?

The entrance to the cave
is right there.

See? Barely inside
and we're already lost!

Not exactly inspiring
confidence, are they?

They're just worried
about Bunga and Simba, Ono.

My kids! Who knows

what horrors they're
enduring down there.

- Hakuna...
- Matata.

- Hakuna...
- Matata.

- Hakuna...
- Matata.

- Hakuna...
- Matata.

We should think about this.

Which way, Your Majesty?

Please. You choose, Bunga.
I insist.

Nah. You're the King.
You choose.

I am the King.
And I say you choose.

Why? Oh, why?

- That sounded like...
- Timon?

My two babies!
Lost in these accursed caverns!

- Forever!
- It came from down here!

- So what are we waiting for?
- Wait for me!

Sorry, I lost it back there, Kion.

Oh, you'll understand when
you have kids of your own.

Well, not exactly your own.

But you'll understand when a
lost lion or lonely honey badger

wanders into your little
corner of the world.

And you let 'em into your heart,

you know, just enough, and...

And then...

- Uncle Pumbaa?
- Timon!

Ooh, I can still hear
their sweet, sweet voices.

Dad? Bunga?

Kion!

My babies are alive!

Don't worry, Simba and Bunga!
We're comin' for ya!

Dead end.

We're still coming for ya!

This way.

- Kion!
- Dad! Bunga!

Oh, Timon, look! See?
They're okay!

Uncle Timon!
Uncle Pumbaa!

Hapana!

Should we go back?
Look for another way?

I've got a better idea.
Hop on!

That's your idea?

Actually, it's your idea.
Remember?

Oh, yeah.

I don't believe it.

Hang on!
Ow! Bunga, not the mane.

Sorry, bro.

Zuka Zama!

Did we just see...

A honey badger riding
on top of the King?

Like my dad always says,

live long enough,
and you'll see everything.

Thanks for the lift.
We should do this again sometime.

Well, I'll, uh, have Zazu
check my schedule.

Dad, Bunga?
I thought you guys are...

- Are practically bothers?
- Huh?

- Absolutely.
- And to think

you were worried
that we'd never find them.

I'm sorry. I should've remembered.

Hakuna matata!

Bravo! Bravo!

Thank you.
Thank you.

We're so glad to
have all of you here

to take part in our tradition.

We're especially honored

to have members of the
royal family in attendance.

We wouldn't miss it.

The King was very disappointed
to miss this event.

He planned to be here...

Animals plan,
and the savannah laughs.

Indeed. We're grateful
for your understanding.

Sorry we're late!

- Simba?
- Daddy?

Your Majesty.
Kion.

- And, uh...
- Bunga. Brother to the King.

- Brother?
- Just call me Uncle Bunga.

What exactly happened
in that pit?

It was quite an adventure.

Thank you for your patience,
Ma Tembo.

And I thank all of you, my friends.

I know how important
music is to elephants.

And I'm deeply honored to be
included in your tradition.

But since I missed your
only concert of the season,

I'd like to share a song that
means a great deal to my family.

All my family.

We would be honored to hear
your song, Your Majesty.

Ready?
