Everyone, everyone!
I found the buffalo herd.

They're all safe and sound.

Yep.
There they are.

Good work, Ono.

Hmm. Why do you suppose
they wandered so far

from their regular grazing ground?

Who cares? We found them,
they're fine, let's go.

Wait.
I'm not so sure they are fine.

Look where they're grazing.



Hapana!

They're right
on top of a geyser!

- A what?
- A geyser.

Really hot water shooting up
from a hole in the ground.

Are you sure you're not
making that up?

Whoa. Big B, you gotta
eat something.

That stomach of yours
is rumbling like crazy!

I don't think
that's my stomach.

It's the geyser!

It's about to blow!

We've gotta warn
the buffalo!

Till the Pride Lands' end...

Lion Guard defend!

Whoa!



Heyvi kabisa!
The herd!

We've gotta stop them

before they trample
everything in their path!

Leave this to me!
Huwezi!

She can't do it alone.
C'mon!

Slow it down, buffalo!

That's the way.

Nice and easy...

Would ya look at that.

Wow! Maybe she can
do it alone!

Poa, Fuli!

That was un-Bunga-lievable!

Thanks.

You should have
seen it from up there!

Great work, Fuli.
Now why don't you take a break?

Help! Help!

And the break's over.

It's gonna be one of those days.

Ono, take a look.

Affirmative!

Help!

Hapana!

Ono, what do ya got?

Three galagos!

About to fall from a tree
in Ndefu Grove!

We'd better get moving.

I got this!

Help! Help!

Don't let go!
Don't let go!

I can't hold on.

I can't hold on!

Hang on!

Gotcha!

Poa, Fuli!

Nice save!

Good thing you didn't
need any backup.

You left us
in the dust.

Yeah, I knew I could handle
this one by myself.

But, uh...

I could use some help
getting these things off me.

All right,
Gally-ally-goes.

Off 'a the kitty!

I still feel those teeny
little hands grabbing my fur.

- You sure you got them all?
- Yeah, you're good.

Zuka zama! Lookit!

The water's reached
the trees at Mapema Rock!

Poa! You're right, Bunga!

That means... Uh...
What does that mean?

It means it's the peak
of the rainy season!

It's time for utamu!

- I've gotta go get some!
- Bunga, wait! Where are you going?

I just told ya.

I'm gettin' utamu!

They're the rarest, most
delicious grubs in the Pride Lands!

But they only come out one day
at the peak of the rainy season!

So you gotta
find 'em fast!

That's why...

What is up today?

Sounds like somebody
else is in trouble.

It's a serval!

Looks like he tried
to jump across Big Ravine!

He's hanging on to the edge,
but he won't last long!

Thanks, Ono!

Lion Guard...

Fuli?

Hang on!

Don't panic.
I've got you.

I hope.

Hey!
Calm down!

I'm sorry!
I'm...

I'm scared!

Yeah, well I can't help you get
up the cliff if you kick me off it!

Got it.

Now just one...

More... Push!

I'm out!

You did it!

Thank you!

No problem.

Great rescue, Fuli!

What took the rest of you so long?

We went around the long way.

Yeah. Even I wouldn't try
a crazy jump like that!

Just takes a little speed, that's all.

- Fuli. Why didn't you wait for us?
- C'mon, Kion.

You put me on the Guard
'cause I'm the fastest.

If my speed can help,
shouldn't I use it?

Yeah, but we're a team.

And our team's not as good

if you get hurt or worn out
from going solo.

I'm a cheetah.

Cheetahs don't get worn out.

Actually, Fuli, cheetahs do...

Uh, well, maybe
you don't get worn out?

Well, now that that's settled,

I gotta go find
the utamu grubs.

- You comin' or not?
- I'm in. Let's go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I think you need to rest.

If anything else happens,
we'll need you at full strength.

I'm sorry, have we met?

I'm Fuli. I'm always
at full strength.

I mean it, Fuli.

You need to take
it easy for a while.

I want you to stay here.

I think Kion's trying to say that
everybody needs to rest sometimes.

Fine. I'll rest.

But I won't like it.

Wouldn't expect you to.

So, Bunga.
These utamu grubs.

Do you know where to find them?

Do I? Do I?

Do I? Yes!
Yes, I totally do!

- This way!
- See you later, Fuli!

Bye.

Resting? Hunting?

They're kinda the same thing.

Oops.
Hey!

Sorry, Little B.

Okay, Bunga, which way do we go?

Hmm.
When in doubt, follow the dung!

- Follow the dung? Like follow the poop?
- Ugh!

Yup. The dung beetles
always lead you to grubs.

- Never fails.
- Really? Why's that?

Because grubs are
dung beetle larvae.

Common knowledge, really.

Right! Check it out.

Would you look at that.

Hey, little guys.

They're just
heading home.

And we can follow 'em!

Pretty cool
that you knew that.

I know!
I'm un-dunga-lievable!

Fuli! Fuli!

Seriously?

Fuli! Fuli!
I need the Lion Guard!

The oryxes are fighting!

Calm down.
Oryxes fight all the time.

But they're fighting
near our nests!

If they're not stopped,
they'll trample our eggs!

Got it.
Take me there.

Well, but, what about the
rest of the Lion Guard?

If you want help fast,
you want me,

with or without the Guard!

Mmm, that makes sense.

Follow me!

Here we go!

We're really picking
up speed now!

Uh. So, Little B,

what's so special about
these "utami" grubs anyway?

Well, utamu
brought me together

with my Uncle Timon
and Uncle Pumbaa.

Really? I never knew that.

- Ya mean I never told you?
- I always wondered.

How did you end up staying
with Timon and Pumbaa?

Glad you asked!
It was a while ago.

When I was really little.

I never met my
real mom and dad.

Back then I was
all on my own.

I could find my own
food easy enough.

But I was lonely.

And then I saw them.

Right as they walked
past Mapema Rock.

Come on, Pumbaa.

The utamu grubs only
come out once a year.

And this year,
we're gonna get 'em.

Oh, that's what you
say every year, Timon.

And then, halfway
up that big tree,

you decide to wait
till next year.

They seemed friendly.
Funny.

And a little stinky.

Just like me!
I knew we'd get along!

Huh?

Beat it, kid. Me and
Pumbaa have grubs to find.

Grubs! Grubs!

Oh, Timon!
I think he likes you!

Okay, kid.
See that big rock?

I betcha there's plenty
of grubs under it.

You go get 'em!

Zuka zama!

Pumbaa, now!
Before he comes back.

- Oh, all right.
- Grubs! Grubs!

Oh. Eh...
Thanks, kid.

Mmm.

Aw, look at him. He's
such a cute little thing.

Can we keep him?

Keep him?
No. No more kids.

We already raised
a lion, remember?

Besides, he's a honey badger.
He can fend for himself!

So long, kid.
Thanks for the grub!

Oh, I think he wants
to be with us, too!

We'll see about that.

Then Timon asked me
to find the rarest,

- most delicious grubs in the Pride Lands.
- Utamu!

Zuka Zama!

He's really doing it!

I was sure he'd be too
scared and just run away.

I don't think he's
afraid of anything, Timon.

Yeah. The kid's loopier
than a snake squeezin' his supper.

Or as they say in the
Serengeti, he's bunga!

Bunga, Bunga, Bunga!

Would ya look at that.
He got 'em!

He got the utamu!

- Now can we keep him, Timon?
- Can we?

The little Bunga got us the most
delicious grubs in the Pride Lands!

How can we not?

C'mon, Bunga!
From now on, you're with us!

Mmm!

So now, at the peak of every
rainy season, we celebrate.

I always bring
the utamu.

My uncles love 'em!

And I don't want
to let them down.

Aw, Little B.

That was beautiful!

Don't worry, Bunga.

We'll help you get
that utamu. Right, guys?

Yes. But, uh, the dung beetles
aren't going to help.

They're gone.

Say what?

So how are we going
to find the utamu now?

Hmm.

I see the tree!
Zuka Zama!

C'mon!

Too bad Fuli didn't
get to hear Bunga's story.

Yeah. But it's good that
she's getting some rest.

Are we getting close?

Pretty close!

Ugh.
What about now?

Mmm. Pretty close!

How much farther?

Oh, we're pretty close now!

Fuli!

I know, I know!

We're pretty close!

No, we're here now!
Look!

Can you stop them?

You better believe it.

Oryxes!

Get out of here!
Now!

You did it!

You saved our nests!

Thanks!

No problem.

I'm just gonna...
Head out now.

Before we bring the meeting
of this committee to order...

Please join me in the singing
of our parliamentary anthem.

That was good.

Oi, is that Fuli
lying down there?

I've never seen her
when she wasn't running.

What's wrong with her?

Hmm. It seems Fuli is too
young to know her limits.

Ya mean she
don't know cheetahs

can only run for so long
before they need a rest?

Precisely.

I conclude she's
pushed herself too hard,

and currently has
no energy at all.

Which means
she can't fight back.

Oh, should we form a
subcommittee to discuss our

options in attacking Fuli in
her current weakened state?

Actually, I think
this is the one time

that we dispense with formal
parliamentary procedures...

And simply attack.

Is this really the tree where you
first found the utamu, Little B?

Sure is!

Now all I have to do
is climb up and get 'em!

Zuka Zama!

Careful, Bunga!

That tree looks pretty dead!

I know!
That's why grubs love living in it!

I'm comin' for you, utamu!

Bunga, that branch is rotten!

I don't think it'll hold you!

Sure it will!

He's gonna need our help.

Ono, steady the end
of that branch.

Beshte, hold the trunk.

Sure thing!

Hey ya, Ono.
I'm almost there... Whoa!

Hapana.

Kion!
Mzingo and his vultures!

They're circling!

That's never good.

We need to check it out.

Ono, Beshte, Bunga, let's go!

Wait!
Just one more step!

I'm coming, Bunga!
No!

My utamu!

Incoming, Beshte!
Got it!

- You okay, Little B?
- Yeah. I guess.

Sorry, Bunga.

But we gotta go see what Mzingo
and his vultures are up to.

- Yeah, I know.
- Ono, keep an eye out for Fuli.

We'll need her if there's trouble.

If I know Fuli, she's already there.

Back off, vultures.

You don't want any part of me.

Oh, but I believe we do.

I want a leg!

Young cheetah.

You have so little
energy right now,

you couldn't attack
us if you tried.

Oh, um, question.

You really think
she can't fight back?

Just try me!

If you had any strength,
you'd have pounced by now.

All in favor of attacking
from all sides, hmm?

Aye!

All opposed?

Motion passed.
The ayes have it.

No sign of Fuli, Ono?

We sure could use
her on this one.

No, nothing. I...

Oh, no!

It's Fuli!

She's down...

And she's surrounded
by vultures!

Heyvi kabisa!

To the Pride Lands' end...

Lion Guard defend!

Oh, don't worry, my dear.
It will all be over soon.

After all, we are not uncivilized.

Now!

- Parliament, attack!
- Vultures!

- Get away from her!
- Kion?

Zuka zama!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Leave Fuli alone!

Twende kiboko!

Reconvene!

Reconvene!

Mzingo!

When you and your vultures take
on one member of the Guard...

You take on us all!

You okay?

Yeah. Thanks for saving me, guys.

Even though I feel kind
of lame for needing it.

You shouldn't.
We're always there for each other.

We're a team!
Yeah.

Even I've been in trouble
once or twice.

Okay, lots of times.

Well, I wasn't helping the team by
going off alone and getting worn out.

Next time I really will wait
for the rest of you.

Just try to move a little faster
so I won't have to wait so long.

Bunga, what's wrong?

I gotta go meet up with my uncles.

And I don't have any utamu.

- Aw, I'm sure they won't care.
- You think?

Let's go to Hakuna
Matata Falls and find out.

♪ Utamu, utamu ♪

Uncle Timon?
Uncle Pumbaa?

- What's wrong, kid?
- I, uh, I've got some bad news.

I know I usually bring the utamu
grubs for us to celebrate with.

But I couldn't get
them this time.

Eh, Bunga.

Utamu grubs are great.

But that's not why
we celebrate.

Timon's right.
We celebrate because

the day we got the utamu
was the day we met you!

- Really?
- Of course!

Mmm.

Aw, that's nice.

Besides, this year...

we got the utamu!

- What? But how?
- Oh, you wouldn't believe it!

A branch full of utamu grubs
fell right outta the sky!

I believe it.

Here's to the two best uncles
a honey badger could ask for!
