The screen is obscured by dust. Kion crouches low, while wildebeests run around in panic.

Wildebeests: *bellow*

A wildebeest charges at Kion, and he dodges.

Kion: *grunts*

Kion ducks as a wildebeest charges past. Maddie sidles up to Kion.

Maddie: Kion! [flinches at a passing wildebeest.] *groans* How are we supposed to chase off the hyenas? [ looks around pointedly.] We can't even see them with all this dust.

Kion: I'm sure that's part of Janja's plan.

Ono: Kion! [Ono flies over Kion and Maddie.] Maddie! Look out!

A wildebeest charges at the screen, and Kion and Maddie dart in opposite directions.

Kion: Kabisa!

Maddie: Whoa!

Maddie: Good eyes, Ono! On the lookout for the hyenas!

Ono: affirmative. *gasps*

Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Cheezi and Chungu hiding in some underbrush. A baby wildebeest stands nearby.

Ono: Hapana! Bunga! Beshte! [Beshte and Bunga look up at Ono.] I see Cheezi and Chungu! They're behind that bush!

Bunga: Let's get 'em, Beshte.

Bunga hops onto Beshte's back. Meanwhile, Cheezi and Chungu continue to sneak up on the baby wildebeest.

Cheezi and Chungu: *laugh*

and Chungu lunge out of the underbrush, and the baby wildebeest flees.

Beshte: Twende kiboko!

Beshte charges at Cheezi and Chungu, who flee.

Cheezi and Chungu: *scream*

Bunga lifts an arm into the air.
Bunga: [triumphantly] Zuka zama!

Ono: *chuckles* That takes care of those two.

Kion's face turns to horror as a wildebeest charges toward him.

Wildebeests: *bellow*

Kion: *yells* [Kion jumps over the charging wildebeest.] Ono! [Ono flies over Kion.] Look for Janja! We chase him off, the rest of the hyenas will go too!

Ono: Affirmative!

Ono swoops offscreen. Meanwhile, Kion ducks to avoid more running wildebeests. From behind Kion, Janja materializes through the dust.

Ono: *gasps*

Ono's vision flickers, and he spots Janja sneaking up behind Kion.
