Return to the Pride Lands/Transcript

This is a transcript for Return to the Pride Lands from Bubble Guppies' Adventures of The Lion Guard.

Opening/Reunion with Madoa, Cheezi and Chungu

 * Gil: We're getting close.
 * Kion: There's no time to stop now! We need to stop Zira and her lions from invading the Pride Lands.
 * Jasiri: We're with you, Kion.
 * Madoa: Jasiri? Molly?
 * Jasiri and Molly: Madoa!
 * Cheezi: Janja!
 * Chungu: We thought that we'd never see you again!
 * Janja: Aw, come on, fur-brains. We wasn't gone that long.
 * Gil: Cheezi! Chungu!
 * Cheezi and Chungu: Gil!
 * Cheezi: You came back to us, brother! (he and Chungu both hug Gil)
 * Chungu: We knew you would!
 * Deema: So, where are Zira and her lions?
 * Goby: Come on! Let me at them lions!
 * Madoa: They went into the Pride Lands, not long after Jasiri and Janja left to find all of you.
 * Nonny: And you guys never knew what happened after that?
 * Madoa: We promised Jasiri we'd stay away from Zira.
 * Gil: It's okay.
 * Jasiri: He's right. You did the right thing.
 * Molly: We just need to get to Pride Rock and find out what happened.
 * Kion: Molly's right.
 * Jasiri: My hyenas will be happy to help.
 * Deema: Great.
 * Nonny: Thanks, guys.

Bubble Guppies and Lion Guard run into Mzingo and his Vultures/Confronting Vitani's Lion Guard

 * Gil: Guess the hyenas will be helping us too.
 * Mzingo: I do say.
 * Molly: Mzingo?
 * Mzingo: Is that you, Bubble Guppies, Lion Guard?
 * Deema: What do you want, you big dirty no good bag of--?
 * Mzingo: I know I used to be bad, Prime Minister Deema. But I'm one of you now.
 * Bunga: Prime what?
 * Nonny: A Prime Minister is just another word for leader.
 * Deema: Oh. Well, we need help to defeat Zira. Will you and the vultures join us?
 * Mzingo: All in favor of rendering assistance to the Bubble Guppies as per Prime Minister Deema's request?
 * Mwoga/Male Vulture: Aye!
 * Mzingo: The ayes have it. We vultures will be honored to help.
 * Gil: Thanks, Mzingo.
 * Kion: Then, let's go. (a little later)
 * Goby: It's very weird, leading an army of Outlanders to the Pride Lands.
 * Oona: Yeah, I never thought of that.
 * Fuli: Me neither.
 * Kion: But if Zira's pride is still--
 * Anga: Kion! I see a strange lion on Pride Rock. Dark fur, green eyes.
 * Jasiri: That's Kovu, Zira's son.
 * Gil: Is he alone?
 * Anga: Yes. No sign of the Royal Family.
 * Goby: Were we too late?
 * Kion: No, we can't be.
 * Oona: But if Kovu's at Pride Rock, what does that mean?
 * Vitani: It means you Outlanders don't stand a chance!
 * Jasiri: It's Zira's daughter, Vitani, and her lioness!
 * Gil: Seriously?
 * Vitani: That's right, guppy, and we won't let you invade the Pride Lands.
 * Gil: Excuse me? You're invading the Pride Lands!
 * Nonny: You're all mine, Vitani!
 * Vitani: Bring it. Til the Pride Lands end...
 * The Outsiders: Lion Guard defend!
 * Bunga: Lion Guard?
 * Gil: They took your title?
 * Nonny: How's that poss- (gets pounced on by Vitani)
 * Oona: Nonny!
 * Goby: Let's get her, Big B.
 * Beshte: Right, Gob.
 * Imara: You two are mine.
 * Gil: Not so tough now eh, Outsider?
 * Molly: We've got you surrounded.
 * Shabaha: That's what you think! Bila Hofu!

Nonny vs. Vitani

 * Nonny: Bring it, Vitani! You don't scare me!
 * Vitani: We'll see.
 * Oona: Just you and us. (joins Nonny)
 * Nonny: Impressive.
 * Goby: Did you see that?
 * Oona: Hm. Vitani's so called Lion Guard has the same strengths as the real Lion Guard.
 * Deema: And it gives me an idea. Vultures, distract the lioness keeping watch while Gil and I both help Nonny.
 * Mzingo: Capital idea. All in favor?
 * Mwoga/Male Vulture: Aye!
 * Mzingo: Vultures, attack!
 * Tazama: Hilo Kaly! (Nonny still fights Vitani)
 * Kion: Alright, I've had enough. Everyone, get behind me! (and so they did)
 * Deema: Yeah! Send those lions flying, Kion!
 * Gil: Here it comes.

Kiara explains/Reuniting with Rafiki, Simba and Nala/Zira's backstory/Reunion with other Pride Landers

 * Kiara: Guys, no! Stop!
 * Gil: Kiara?
 * Deema: Not Kovu, anyone but Kovu! Boy, being all freaked out is good exercise.
 * Kion: Kiara, look out! Behind you!
 * Kiara: Wait, Kion, don't!
 * Molly: Kiara, what are you doing?
 * Nonny: Kovu's a sworn enemy of the Pride Lands!
 * Kiara: No, guys. Kovu has joined our pride. Vitani too.
 * Kion: What?
 * Vitani: Nonny? It's been a while.
 * Gil: Kovu?
 * Kovu: Gil?
 * Goby: What's going on here?
 * Oona: Vitani, Kovu, where's Zira?
 * Kovu: Zira has completed her journey in the Circle of Life.
 * Gil: Huh?
 * Molly: Excuse us?
 * Kion: She has?
 * Jasiri: What?
 * Kiara: Come to Pride Rock, guys, we'll explain.
 * Nonny: Alright?
 * Deema: Okay, but I'm keeping my eye on you, Kovu, in case you're making this up.
 * Kion: Jasiri? Asante. Thanks.
 * Jasiri: If you ever need help, you know where to find us.
 * Gil: Leading the Outlands, as you were always meant to.
 * Molly: Thanks for everything. (hugs Jasiri as she, Janja, their hyenas, Mzingo and his vultures return to the Outlands)
 * Gil: Guess who's back?
 * Kion: Mom! Dad!
 * Nala: Kion!
 * Simba: Welcome home, son.
 * Nala: But your scar.
 * Kion: I'll always have it. But the venom in it is gone.
 * Goby: The journey was worth it.
 * Nala: And who is this?
 * Azaad: I am Azaad.
 * Fuli: Azaad helped us return to the Pride Lands.
 * Simba: Thank you, Azaad.
 * Azaad: It was my pleasure, Your Majesty.
 * Rafiki: But not everyone has returned.
 * Deema: What are you talking about, Rafiki? We're all back.
 * Rafiki: True, Deema, but Makini is not with you.
 * Kion: No. She decided to stay. Queen Janna--
 * Rafiki: (laughing) Queen Janna was right. Makini's role is at the Tree of Life, just as I was certain that her place would be here.
 * Gil: We came here as soon as we heard Zira was attacking the Pride Lands. What happened?
 * Simba: Rafiki?
 * Rafiki: Yes, yes. Come and you will see.
 * Oona: Okay, Rafiki. (They follow Rafiki)
 * Rafiki: After Kion roared the Outsiders out of the Outlands, Zira devised a new plan to take over the Pride Lands.
 * Kovu: Zira raised me to believe that Simba was our enemy, but after I got to know Simba and Kiara, I realized she was wrong.
 * Kiara: So Zira went to attack the Pride Lands herself, but Kovu and I tried to stop her and said we didn't need to fight. As lions, we are one.
 * Kovu: Vitani and the other lionesses saw was true, but Zira refused, and in the end, it destroyed her. After Zira was gone, Simba welcomed us to his pride.
 * Simba: And one day, Kiara and Kovu will be queen and king of the Pride Lands.
 * Gil: We sure missed a lot.
 * Deema: You can say that again. (gets slapped in the face)
 * Nonny: Why are you so uptight with anything?
 * Nala: You did, and we missed you.
 * Rafiki: And we are not the only ones! (laughing) Look!
 * Thurston: Huzzah! Deema!
 * Makuu: Nonny!
 * Deema: Thurston!
 * Nonny: Makuu!
 * Shujaa: Oona, here!
 * Tamaa: Hey, hey, Goby!
 * Oona: Shujaa!
 * Goby: Tamaa!
 * Laini: Gil!
 * Swala: Molly!
 * Gil: Laini!
 * Molly: Swala!
 * Twiga: Bubble Puppy!
 * Bubble Puppy: Arf, Arf!
 * Rafiki: It sure feels good to always return to the Pride Lands, eh, Simba?
 * Simba: Yes, Rafiki.
 * Makuu: So, everyone, how was your journey?
 * Nonny: It was amazing.
 * Goby: We saw a lot of new animals on the way.
 * Oona: A giant panda, gentle lemurs, foxes, penguins, a polar bear, mountain goats, shrews, not sure which.
 * Makuu: I see. Nonny, a word?
 * Nonny: Sure.
 * Laini: Was it fun?
 * Gil: Yep.
 * Thurston: You didn't forget me, right?
 * Deema: Nope.
 * Makuu: Nonny, the way you handled Kiburi yourself, it was very brave.
 * Nonny: Wow. Thanks, Makuu.
 * Makuu: If you want to, you're welcome to join my float.
 * Nonny: Uh, sure.
 * Makuu: Very well.
 * Goby: Hey, it's my favorite drongo. You still got Simba's voice down?
 * Tamaa: Pretty good. (imitates Simba) Hey, my favorite guppy!
 * Goby: (laughing) It's like Simba was talking to himself.
 * Deema: Zebras are so scared, they panic and run.
 * Thurston: (laughing) It's funny because it's true.
 * Deema: Come on, big boy. You're coming with me.
 * Makuu: Crocodiles, welcome Nonny. The honorary crocodile.
 * Nonny: (gasps) Honorary crocodile?
 * Crocodiles: Nonny! Nonny! Nonny! Nonny! Nonny!
 * Deema: Uh, what's going on?
 * Gil: They do seem to get along after the whole Battle for the Pride Lands thing.
 * Molly: They still sure do.

Gil and Molly talk with Kion

 * Gil: Looking at stars, Kion?
 * Kion: Yeah. The four stars.
 * Molly: That helped us find our way to the Tree of Life.
 * Kion: Seeing Kiara with Kovu reminded me of me and Rani.
 * Gil: So true.
 * Molly: Do you miss her?
 * Kion: Yeah, I do.
 * Gil: Maybe we can go back to the Tree of Life.
 * Kion: Yeah.
 * Gil: I'm sure Simba and Nala will understand.
 * Molly: Gilly's right.
 * Kion: Maybe.
 * Gil: Come on. Let's go and get some shut eye.

The Bubble Guppies and Vitani's argument

 * Nonny: Do you think the Lair's changed while we've been gone?
 * Molly: Possibly.
 * Deema: Let's go check it out.
 * Gil: What? Vitani?
 * Vitani: Guppies. Kion.
 * Kion: Vitani?
 * Molly: Well, this is weird.
 * Gil: Just what do you think you're doing here?
 * Goby: Imara?
 * Imara: Goby. You shall come over to my side, I know it.
 * Oona: Kasi?
 * Kasi: Oona?
 * Deema: Shabaha?
 * Shabaha: Deema.
 * Nonny: Tazama?
 * Tazama: Nonny.
 * Goby: Why are you so certain?
 * Imara: One word, handsome. Curiosity. You long for freedom. To act on selfish impulse. One day, you won't be able to resist.
 * Gil: What's going on here?
 * Imara: Such evidence to the contrary.
 * Gil: Not what I meant.
 * Vitani: I'm the future king's sister.
 * Deema: Fair enough.
 * Gil: Vitani, Kion's the future queen's brother.
 * Deema: Fair enough.

Battle of the Lion Guards

 * Deema: Why don't we do it the zebra way?
 * Gil: What's that?
 * Deema: Have a competition.
 * Oona: Seriously?
 * Deema: Thurston says that his herd begins a competition to see which zebra can panic and run the best.
 * Fuli: As weird as it sounds, she might be right.
 * Goby: Oh, no. I got it! We'll let them do the original setting in the old Lion Guard lair.
 * Ono: Goby, that wouldn't be fair! Our Lion Guard already took that test!
 * Nonny: Hm. Any ideas?
 * Gil: Well, both guards could compete with each other in a series of challenges.
 * Deema: How does that sound, Vitani?
 * Vitani: That sounds fair. The Pride Lands deserve the best.
 * Goby: They sure do.
 * Gil: Sound fair for the rest of you?
 * Vitani and Kion: It's a deal.
 * Deema: Quick, spread the word!
 * Nonny: Right!
 * Goby: The Battle of the Lion Guards!

Deema's suggestion

 * Deema: Hey, I've got an idea! Why not do it the crocodile way?
 * Oona: What's that?
 * Deema: Mashindano!
 * Goby: I agree!
 * Gil: I think this has gone out of control.
 * Molly: Me, too.
 * Goby: Come on, Kion could win a Mashindano for sure.
 * Molly: Are you crazy?
 * Nonny: This has gone too far.
 * Gil: Vitani doesn't stand a chance!
 * Askari (in Kion's memory): Only one who is willing to let go of the Roar completely....
 * Kion: Can truly master it.
 * Gil: Huh? Kion?
 * Goby: Just carry on!
 * Molly: Kion, you should say something.
 * Kion: Everyone, Vitani and her team have won.

King Kion/I Will Always Return (Song Montage)

 * Vitani: Hevi Kabisa.
 * Gil: I'm proud of you, Kion. You definitely did the right thing.
 * Kion: Thanks, Gil. Queen Rani.
 * Rani: Kion. I'm so glad the Roar has returned.
 * Kion: This time to stay.
 * Rani: I'm looking forward to ruling the Tree of Life with you.
 * Kion: We'll rule it together.
 * Makini: Animals of the Tree of Life, friends from near and far, Bubble Guppies, it is my honor to present... King Kion!
 * Goby: Yay, Kion!
 * Gil: Kion's as fierce as a guppy!
 * Janja: He is?
 * Gil: Of course!
 * Thurston: I know. I taught him everything he knows.
 * Deema: This is un-Deema-lievable.
 * Jasiri: Yep.
 * Chungu: Awesome.
 * Cheezi: Cool.
 * Gil: Long live the King.
 * Molly: And long live the Queen.
 * Nonny: You know, you took the words right out of my mouth.
 * Gil: Right.
 * Bubble Puppy: Arf, arf!
 * Kion: We're gonna make a great team.
 * Rani: We already do. Ready?
 * Kion: Yes I am. (and then while Mufasa, Janna and Askari looked down above high)
 * Frenchy: That Evening.
 * Gil: I can't believe it. First, we defeat Makucha's Army, then Kovu and Kiara become one, and now Kion is the King of the Tree of Life.
 * Qui-Gon Jinn: I'm so proud of all of you. So proud, in fact, if you wish, you can see some other worlds. (Bubble Guppies looking at each other)
 * Molly: We're in.
 * Gil: That is, if... we can let some special friends come with us. (Qui Gon-Jinn looking at Janja, Cheezi and Chungu)
 * Qui-Gon Jinn: Of course you can let Janja, Cheezi and Chungu come with you.
 * Chungu: Ooh, Janja! You hear that?
 * Cheezi: Guess our new adventures begin right now.
 * Janja: Then let's begin, boys. (but then our heroes look at their Pride Lands and Outlands friends with a short silence)
 * Kion: We all understand, you guys.
 * Rani: Yeah, there's nothing quite like an adventure. Or home.
 * Qui-Gon Jinn: Then it is decided. (then a portal is seen rising from the lake ready to take our heroes to go anywhere they want)
 * Gil: I will never forget you all.
 * Janja: Neither of us will.
 * Molly: We're really gonna miss you guys.
 * Kion: How can we forget about all of you? We will always remember you. (then he hugs Gil as he hugs back)
 * Goby: I guess this is goodbye.
 * Ono: Indeed.
 * Anga: Bubble Puppy, I'm sure gonna miss you. (hugs him as Bubble Puppy nuzzles her)
 * Deema: I am really gonna miss this place. (high fives Bunga)
 * Bunga: We know, my one and only D-Girl.
 * Oona: I'm gonna miss this place too. (hugs Fuli and Azaad as he nuzzles her)
 * Fuli: Goodbye, everyone.
 * Beshte: We'll miss all of you.
 * Nonny: But, there's just too much to say.
 * Qui-Gon Jinn: Until you all meet each other again, my friends. (then one by one our heroes went through the portal as Gil, Molly and Janja look back and see their friends smiling at them wishing them farewell then went through the portal) Order is restored. A new chapter has begun. (goes through the portal as the song: I Will Always Return starts)
 * Male Voice: I hear the wind~ Calling my name~ The sound~ That Leads~ Me home again~ It sparks up the fire~ A flame that still burns~ To you~ I will always return~ I know the road is long~ But where you are~ Is home~ Wherever you stay~ I'll find the way~ I'll run like the river~ I'll follow the sun~ I'll fly like an eagle~ To where I belong~ Can't stand the distance~ I can't dream alone!~ I can't wait to see you~ Yes I'm on my way home~ Now I know it's true~ My every road leads to you~ And in the hour of darkness~ Your light gets me through~ You run like the river~ You shone like the sun~ Yeah~ You fly like an eagle~ Yeah you are the one~ I'd see every sunset~ And with all the I learned~ Oh~ It's to you~ I will always~ Always~ Return!~

Makucha's ending

 * Komodo Dragon: Ugh. Ora, how did we get here?
 * Ora: I have no idea.
 * Smun: And uh, where exactly is "here"? (suddenly Makucha growls and pushes Smun)
 * Makucha: Get off of me!
 * Chuluun: Makucha? Are you okay?
 * Makucha: I'm fine and I've got a new plan. We're going to follow those guppies to every world they visit.
 * Mama Binturong: Must we?
 * Makucha: Yes! Once we've reached the end of their trail, we'll have revenge on them.
 * Jiona: Oh, sounds good.
 * Fahari: Count me in.
 * Chuluun: Brilliant.
 * Ora: I like the sound of that.
 * Mama Binturong: I guess Makucha's our new leader.
 * Chuluun: But there's just one problem. We're in the middle of NOWHERE!
 * Makucha: You're right, Chuluun. We need to hunt down those guppies.
 * (The End?)
