We see the group and the Lion Guard run across the Pride Lands, Ono flying ahead of them
Ono: It's coming from Ukuni Woods!
Kion: What do we got, Ono? Hyenas?
Maddie: Jackals?
Myles: Vultures?
Bunga rolls his eyes.
Bunga: Hyenas, jackals, vultures. Whatever it is, the Lion Guard can take it!
Ono: Hold on! Getting it in sight.
Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Pim the hyrax, who is holding a snake skin, trapped in a thorn bush. Ono rolls his eyes.
Ono: Really?
Ono lands on a thorn bush. The two groups pull to a stop beside him.
Kion: Ono, report!
Ono: Nothing thrilling. [Ono glances at Pim.] Just a hyrax stuck in a thorn bush.
Pim: *chitters*
Fuli: [irritated] Seriously?
Macie: That's not so bad.
Azazel: We rushed all the way across the Pride Lands for this?
Azazel gestures at Pim.
Kion: Azazel, the Lion Guard's duty is to defend the Circle of Life. [Kion rolls his eyes.] Even if it means helping a hyrax out of a thorn bush.
Kion smiles patiently. Bunga holds up his hands, then runs toward the thorn bush.
Bunga: All right. I got this one. [Bunga grabs Pim, who struggles to get away.] Come on, hyraxie. Let's get you outta there.
Pim: *squeals*
Pim wriggles out of Bunga's grip and cowers deep within the thorn bush. Bunga begins pulling out thorns so he can reach Pim.
Beshte: Uh, Little B, [Bunga pauses.] I think the hyrax's trying to avoid being shredded by thorns.
Bunga: Oh!
Mylesbounds over to stand in front of Kion and Fuli.
Myles: Kion, use the Roar! You can flatten those thorn bushes!
Myles puts his hands on his hips.
Fuli: If Kion flattens the thorn bushes with the Roar... *scoffs* What do you think will happen to the hyrax?
Myles: Oh, [myles scratches his head.] I hadn't thought about that.
Kion: Listen. We don't need my Roar to clear the thorn bushes. We can just pull 'em aside.
Bunga: Oh, yeah! [Bunga lifts his hands in triumph.] Zuka zama!
Bunga dashes over to the thorn bush and draws the thorns aside to expose Pim, who cowers and hides under the snake skin.
Pim: *squeals*
Bunga Let's go, hyraxie! [Bunga jerks his head.] Move it!
Fuli: I got it.
Fuli runs toward Pim and grabs him in her teeth. Bunga jumps away from the thorns, which snap back into place. Fuli deposits Pim on the grass.
Pim: *squeals*
Pim flinches away from Fuli. Kion, Beshte, Bunga, and Ono approach.
Kion: Thanks, Fuli. Nice work, Bunga.
Pim begins aggressively rubbing himself with the snake skin.
Fuli : Whoa, weird. [Pim begins rolling around in the snake skin.] It must really like that snake skin.
Ono: No, no, no. It's using the scent from the snake skin to mask its own smell. That way, snakes won't detect him. Pretty clever!
