Plot
The episode begins at the Tree of Life where Catboy and his friends were helping Kion and Rani, and the Lion Guard and the Night Pride take down Makucha and his army out, even with the help of some other animals. As time passes, Kion and Rani have grown to young adult lions, and so have the PJ Masks, Armadylan, and Luna Girl who have turned nine, ten, eleven, and even twelve years old as Catboy was more confident of using his magic and busy as the king and queen’s advisor at helping with solving all of the animals’ problems and other problems that involve shelter, finding new space for new animals coming to live at the Tree of Life, searching for food to feed the entire Tree of Life, making peace between animals fighting each other, helping with the water source problem, and territory sharing. After Makucha and his army have been defeat once more, Kion uses his roar again to send them back far, far away.

After another job well done of driving the bad guys out of the Tree of Life, King Kion, Queen Rani, and Connor and their friends were relaxing in the tree with some Swahili fruit juice made by Connor as they all made a toast, which Connor taught the Night Pride and the Lion Guard. Makini states that everybody’s getting stronger every year, and Kion includes Connor and his human friends as he shoots a proud smile at him, making Connor blush when he felt appreciated by the hard work they have done for the the king and queen, the former Lion Guard, and the Night Pride.

As he, Chuluun, Ora, Mama Bintuorong, her porcupines, Makucha’s leap, and Ora’s bank were back in the darkest and farthest region from both the Pridelands and the Tree of Life, they were getting tired of being beaten up by the Lion Guard, the Night Pride, and even the PJ Masks and their allies, plus having to be blown back here next to the dark and damp lagoon by Kion’s roar that has become more powerful than ever and being clobbered by that human cat kid’s magic, Chuluun added in an angry grunt, so they could stay hungry as usual. Then hearing Chuluun mention the Tree of Life’s human advisor’s magic gave Makucha an idea. With his army lifting their heads up to listen, Makucha explains his plan to use Catboy’s magic, leaving Ora to believe that they might trick Catboy to use his magic on King Kion and Queen Rani, but Makucha has a better plan: they can use Catboy’s magic to bring back one of Scar’s allies, Zira!
