The sun rose over the Pride Lands, signaling the start of a new day. An upbeat tune filled the air as the members of the new Lion Guard awoke for their first day on duty.
"Whoa oh oh oh oh."
Bunga awoke bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as he jumped from his perch on a branch overlooking Hakuna Matata falls. He shouted a goodbye to his adoptive uncles and ran off.
"Oh oh oh oh oh."
Beshte said goodbye to his father, Basi, and the rest of his pod, a grin on his face as he headed to meet the rest of his friends.
"Whoa oh oh oh oh."
Fuli was already running through the tall grass, ready for action. Ono flew above her, his eyes wide with excitement.
"Oh oh oh oh oh."
Nyota leapt down from the large Baobab tree she lived in with Rafiki. She gave him a smile before running off to meet the rest of the Guard. At the same time, Kion ran out of Pride Rock, standing on the edge, waiting for the rest of his team.
"There's a time in life, when you may get a great calling
And it seems so big at times, you feel like you may be falling."
Nyota lead the group to the entrance of the Lair, where Kion met up with them. The team stood together, overlooking the Pride Lands, before beginning their first patrol. From the top of Pride Rock, King Simba watched as the new Lion Guard ran across the Pride Lands.
"If you believe in who you are, there's no need to go running
You found your place and with your friends the adventures keep on coming."
Ono flew overhead, scouting the land for any signs of trouble. He spotted some falling rocks and a group of hares caught in the path, alerting the others and leading the way.
"Kwa nchi ya ukoo
For the Pride Lands
Wana umoja
They're united
Daima walinda
They're always on guard
Askari Wa Simba!"
Beshte stood his ground, blocking the rocks while the rest of the Guard moved the hares out of the way. Kion, Nyota, and Fuli each took one in their mouths, while Bunga picked up three baby hares and moved them to the side.
"Looking after the Pride Lands
Staying strong and united
And no matter where they stand
They'll never be divided
All of the lions in the sky
Always keeping a watchful eye
Fierce, fast and brave and strong
Look out, here comes the Lion Guard!"
The Lion Guard continued their patrol, with Kion at the front and Nyota at his side. The two cubs shared a look and a smile.
"So any time that trouble comes, there's a new team waiting."
"To take a stand and fight, to keep the Circle of Life from breaking."
"Kwa nchi ya ukoo
For the Pride Lands
Wana umoja
They're united
Daima walinda
They're always on guard
Askari Wa Simba!
Walinzi Wa Simba!"
The next danger Ono spotted was a family of Galagos clinging for life as their tree was dangerously close to falling over a ledge. Beshte stood between the tree and the ledge to keep it from falling while Nyota stood on her hind legs, acting as a ramp the Galagos could slid down to get to safety. Bunga put the Galago family on Fuli's back, and the cheetah took them to a new home.
"Looking after the Pride Lands
Staying strong and united
And no matter where we stand
We'll never be divided
All of the lions in the sky
Always keeping a watchful eye
Fierce, fast and brave and strong
Look out, here comes the Lion Guard!"
The Guard continued their patrol well into the afternoon, saving various animals in need. From helping lost babies return to their herds to helping antelope stuck in deep mud, The Lion Guard was on it.
"Look out, here comes the Lion Guard!"
"Look out, here comes the Lion Guard!"
