TLK Week Day 4: The Lion Guard
….meets the OG Hyena Trio
It all starts when the Guard visits Jasiri in the Outlands and they take a little tour to see what’s changed since they left. At some point in the tour, they pass by the Elephant Graveyard (they spot it from a distance). Bunga, being himself, decides to stray from the rest and explore the graveyard despite Jasiri and Janja saying it’s a separate hyena territory. Kion goes after him and one by one, the rest of the guard start to follow
Ono says they shouldn’t be over here and how it could be dangerous, to which Bunga’s like “Danger? We’re the Lion Guard! We laugh in the face of danger! Hahaha!”
Cue a much older Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed trickling out of the elephant skull and just like in the first movie,
“Well well well Banzai, what have we got here?”
“I dunno, Shenzi….what do you think, Ed?”
Shenzi says that Kion looks just like his dad and Kion’s all “you knew my dad?” and Shenzi’s like “Oh yeah, he did the exact same thing you’re doin’ right now”
The parties learn two things: The OG trio learns that Simba has cubs now and the Guard (mainly Kion) learns the king/dad was kind of a troublemaker as a cub
When Kion explains that they’re the Lion Guard, Banzai’s like “you still have those?” and “what kinda lion guard has one lion?”
Fortunately for the guard, Janja and Jasiri catch up to them and prevent what would have been a fight. When Kion asks how they know the trio, they get an unexpected answer from Janja
Fuli can 100% believe that Ed is Cheezi’s dad. The resemblance is uncanny
Ono’s also terrified of Ed and the og trio in general judging by the fact that they used to work for Scar
Beshte’s more interested in the history aspect and how the trio “must have so many stories to tell!”
Beshte also asks the most questions cuz he’s invested now lol
And BOY do they have stories cuz they can recount EVERYTHING from the time they met a young Simba to how Scar’s reign used to be (Nala doesn’t like talking about it) to the final battle
Banzai will not admit it but Anga’s stoic gaze lowkey freaks him out
Banzai also mentioned the birdie boiler. Ono doesn’t know what it is nor does he WANT to know
Shenzi kinda likes Fuli. She’s feisty :)
Not Bunga learning the details about Timon and Pumbaa during the battle
Bunga: My Dad Uncle Timon told me how my uncle Pumbaa beat you up!
Shenzi: Oh yeah? Did he tell you he actually proposed to me?
(Timon you have a LOT of explaining to do)
