–Kion

The The Mbali Fields Migration (Event) is where Muhimu's Herd and Swala's Herd follow the Lion Guard to their new forever home, Mbali Fields.

Prior to the Lion Guard[]

Kion and the Lion Guard notices some herds fighting with each other. They go to stop the herds. The reason why they're fighting is because there's not enough grass.

The Mbali Fields Migration[]

Kion goes to talk to his father Simba and asks him where all the grass is. Simba shows Kion a pile of grass out in the

distances called Mbali Fields. Simba suggests that Kion should lead them on the long journey. Kion and the rest of the Lion Guard get ready for the Migration. Bunga bumps into Muhimu and she explains that she needs to get the grass soon. Bunga tells her that they're almost ready to go. Ono flys up to Kion telling him which direction to take. Kion announces to everyone that he promises to them all there safe and sound. Ono leads the way to Mbali Fields as "Trail to Hope" plays in the background. Kion asks Ono how things are looking Ono says everyone is slowing down. Kion asks everyone how they're doing Muhimu says that they're starving. As soon as she sees the grass she starts running towards it. The rest of the herd start running behind Muhimu and so does Swala's which causes rocks to start falling.The rocks keep falling though, and almost hit Muhimu. Bunga leaps onto her just in time to rescue her from being hit by more rocks, and she is surprised that Bunga managed to rescue her, though still refers to him as the wrong species (a hedgehog). In the meantime, Kion realizes that their path is no longer going to work, and thus asks Ono to scout out a new pathway for them to continue their journey with. Ono returns with some disappointing news - that the only way to Mbali Fields is now going to involve a trip through the Outlands. Kion is upset, though acknowledges the new path. As they make their was a cross the storm erupt. The herds start to lose faith in Kion's leadership, vocally stating their belief that Simba would have been a much better choice for leader and in turn lessening Kion's faith. Fuli notices that the water is getting deeper. Suddenly, a huge gush of water comes flooding through. Kion realizes that it's a flash flood, and orders everyone to reach higher ground. Ono is tasked with leading them higher, as the herds make a dash for a nearby slope rising upwards. With two zebras failing to reach the safe spot in time, Beshte leaps into the rising water to stop them from drowning, pushing against the current and dragging them to safety. Fuli rushes to save a gazelle, pushing him up away from the water, to which he expresses his thanks. Meanwhile, Kion notices Swala in danger and rushes in, grabbing her by the horns with his teeth. He drags her to a safe spot. Meanwhile, Bunga has saved a gazelle but notices that Muhimu is floating away with the current. He leaps in and grabs her, though Muhimu has her doubts that he can save her, becoming a little

aggressive as Bunga asks her to help him save her. Eventually, she starts paddling with Bunga, and he is able to help her reach safe grounds. She is grateful for his help and notes that it's the second time he has saved her during the same day. She thanks him for his help, and finally admits that she did, in fact, sit on him (to which Bunga replies that he knew that already).Once everyone is safe, the herds express their annoyance at Kion, believing him not to be a worthy leader. Depressed, Kion leaves everyone to seek counsel from his grandfather. Mufasa soon appears, advising Kion that sometimes it is better not to depend on the opinions of others, and to always have confidence in himself. After his words, Kion returns with newfound confidence. Despite the herds still trying to tear him apart with their words, Kion remains confident. His confidence is boosted even further when Muhimu speaks up, telling everyone that it was her fault for starting the stampede, that if she had not, they would not have had to change course. She promises to make things easier from then on, which Kion is appreciative of. He once again promises that he'll get everyone there safe and sound, and the herds show their support. Meanwhile, Muhimu asks Bunga if he'll keep her safe, to which he agrees. The herds enter the Outlands, but soon after, Muhimu goes down, about to enter labor. Fuli, Ono and Beshte continue on with the herds to Mbali Fields, while Kion, Bunga, Swala and four female zebras stay behind with Muhimu while she is in labor. Soon, Muhimu gives birth to a Son However, he lets loose a loud neigh, which draws Janja, Cheezi and Chungu's attention. Bunga tries to tell the newborn to be quiet, even though he understands that he probably won't be able to understand him. However, the three hyenas soon arrive and slide down the ridge, causing Swala and the zebras to start panicking. Kion pleads with everyone to protect Muhimu and her newborn, knowing that mayhem is exactly what the hyenas want from them. After Muhimu orders them to, the zebras compose themselves, rushing back to Muhimu and her foal, defending them along with Kion, Bunga, and Swala. At first Janja, Cheezi and Chungu taunt them, though they soon launch an attack. Janja is caught by Kion, and Bunga catches Cheezi. Chungu aims for the zebras but is kicked back by a zebra. Chungu, in turn, pushes Kion off Janja as he is thrust away. Janja approaches the zebras, who pull back a little, though Muhimu's son kicks Janja in the face, throwing him away at the same time Bunga and Kion finish with Cheezi and Chungu, run away. After Kion warns them away, the five hyenas retreat, commenting that they did not like zebras anyway, which manages to offend one of the zebras in the herd. Muhimu is amazed that her son saved her life, and Bunga compliments him. The remaining animals finally make it to Mbali Fields, with everyone happy at last as Ono reports that the migration was a success. Muhimu's son, Hamu, is especially happy, frolicking around. Noticing his incredible joy, Bunga agrees with his neighing statements and runs off to play with him as the Guard laugh in joy.
