Ha, ha, ha!
Brother, I have something that will cheer you up.
Forget it, crooler! I'm not attacking the lions.
It's not their fault our parents are gone.
The lions?
I just wanted to cheer you up with this amazing plant.
Of course, if you did destroy the lions,
I'm sure our parents would be proud.
Brr, you're right!
I know what we have to do now. Destroy the lions!
Both: Huh?
Have you heard from cragger?
Not since that night.
Be patient with him, son. He lost both his parents.
And he's now king, with a whole tribe to run.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll try reaching out to him again.
If he shows.
That would be noble. As lions, we must maintain
The peace and balance of chima.
It is our sacred duty, given to us by nature itself.
Uh-oh. I feel the great story coming on again.
The great story can never be told enough, son.
You should know that.
Yes, dad.
We weren't always
The advanced and sophisticated creatures we are now.
Once, many, many centuries ago,
There were no buildings or vehicles or tribes in chima.
Just jungles and plains.
And creatures that walked on all fours.
One day, the sky opened up and blessed the land...
...Pulling mount cavora from the heart of chima.
The water that flowed from this mountain was different.
Powerful. Transformative.
Full of a life force we now call chi.
Those who drank from it became smarter.
More complex. Evolved.
However, some in chima chose not to embrace the chi.
They stayed simple and pure,
Vanishing into the outlands, never to be seen again.
These creatures are now known as the legend beasts.
It is said they will return one day,
When chima needs them most.
But few here believe they even exist anymore.
Mount cavora still supplies us with chi today,
But it is collected here in the lion temple,
Where it forms into powerful orbs,
Thanks to the special minerals in the sacred pool.
Yeah, dad, I've heard that great story, like, a hundred times,
And I've gotta say, it's more like a "pretty good story,"
Rather than a great one.
Hush, laval. Respect.
Hey, I'm just saying it could use a better ending.
And a little more action. What do you think?
I think you need to grow up.
And here they come. Awesome!
But I can't see cragger. Can you, dad?
He will be here for his chi, son.
Remember, as the first to drink that chi,
We lions are its sacred guardians,
Ensuring that it is shared fairly by all.
Once a month, we distribute all the orbs
To every tribe in chima.
Sweet! Got me some chi!
Tonight's gonna be a good night!
Even those tribes we might not agree with.
Hey, is cragger coming today?
You mean king cragger?
Yeah, you'll see the king soon enough, you will.
What was all that about?
Who knows? I've never understood the crocs.
And I suppose they don't get us either.
Excuse me, lagravis,
But it's time to bring out the golden orb.
Lagravis: Ah, yes.
There's always one extra powerful golden chi every month.
But we don't give this orb away.
We race for it! Yes!
Welcome, citizens of chima...
Lagravis: ...To our monthly race for the golden chi.
For centuries, the golden chi
Has chosen a different contest each month,
So that no one tribe shall have an advantage in winning it.
What will it choose this time?
A torture course of obstacles?
Or the ruthless race of ramps?
Ah... It has settled on the joust of jungle judgment.
Riders of chima, safeties and blunters on.
Anyone caught using unsecured weapons
Will be immediately disqualified.
First up: Laval versus gorzan!
Whoo-hoo!
Ooh! Bummer!
Good joust. Tilt your speeder in a little more next time,
And you might just get me.
Groovy!
Rogon versus bladvic!
Yeah! Take that!
Rogon versus laval!
Razar versus worriz.
Eh? Ooh! Ugh!
Too bad cragger's not here. This is his best event.
He'd wipe out everyone,
And then it'd just be me and him, like always.
Except today. When it's you and that sneaky wolf worriz.
Final joust! To determine the winner of the golden chi.
Laval the lion versus worriz the wolf!
I never liked you, laval.
Really? Well, you're really gonna hate me now,
When I send you flying off this track.
Bring it on. Grrr...
Hey! Not fair!
Whoa!
Whoo-hoo!
Huh?
His fur went flyin'!
He's like a wolf in sheep's clothing,
If the sheep was naked!
Get away from me, cheater.
What? I didn't cheat. You're the one with the crazy spear.
There's no way I could get past that.
I know. And next time, lion,
You won't be so lucky. I swear it.
It appears we have a winner.
Cragger: But it only appears that way.
Cragger?
Have you forgotten your precious rules, lions?
Only the rider who leaves no opponent standing
Can claim the golden chi.
It's too late for that, cragger.
You need to be here at the start for that rule to apply.
Oh, so you're saying the great lions would rather
Hide behind a technicality than face a foe?
Let me joust him, dad.
I beat him at least half the time I face him.
Rules are rules, laval. But dad--
What's it gonna be, laval?
A little joust for old time's sake?
Just me, you and destiny.
Not here, laval. You must respect our rules.
Without them, we are nothing.
Well, then, if you won't joust me,
I'll just find someone who will.
No!
Mm, I like chicken wings!
Cragger: Now it's only me and you, eris.
Ahh...
Cragger! You can't just hurt eris and get away with it!
Oh, no! They're heading for the falling jungle!
Whoa, that place is crazy!
Cragger: You may know the fangs, old friend,
But the falling jungle is one of
My new favorite stomping grounds.
Emphasis on stomp!
I'll beat you anywhere, anytime, cragger.
And now's the time.
Huh? Oh... Oof!
Heh! Watch out for that tree.
I'd much rather bury you in a cave like you did to my parents.
Cragger! That's not what happened!
Tell it to the spear, lion.
Okay, what beats a croc to the ground?
A flyin' lion.
By the way, you missed.
We've got to stop meeting like this, cragger.
Fine with me, croc hater!
Hey, come on. I'm sorry you lost your parents,
But that was all an accident, which you caused.
You could've saved them, if you'd just given me that chi.
I broke the rules once for you, cragger.
Never again!
Surrender now, cragger.
I don't want to hurt you.
Too bad the feeling's not mutual.
Cragger!
Whoops. Looks like another accident.
Cragger, don't do this!
So, old friend,
This is for my parents!
And for the chi! And for all of chima!
Hey! Who snaked my spear?
A little birdie did, with some big metal eggs!
Dude, you got some, uh, tree on your shirt.
Let me help you there.
Laval, are you okay?
Yeah, sure. I'm fine.
Eris: We'll get you, cragger! You can't hide forever!
Oh, don't worry. Hiding is the last thing I plan to do.
Worriz, so good to see you.
The fur is healing well, I see.
Enough with the small talk, cragger.
Just tell me how I can destroy laval and the lions.
No one mocks a wolf like they did.
Okay, then. Down to business.
We attack the lions
During their next age of becoming ceremony.
The ravens will be joining us as well.
They hate the lions too?
No, we're just paying them.
A few trinkets and treasures,
And those birds will do anything.
Razar: Hey! Listen to this deal.
I suckered the crocs out of their trinkets and treasure.
All we have to do is help them attack the lion temple.
Trinkets and treasure!
Lagravis: Laval, what're you doing?
Your age of becoming ceremony is starting.
This is a big day for you.
Yeah, I know. My first chi.
Becoming a true lion warrior.
Totally ready.
And your harness? Did you lose it?
My harness? N-no of course not. I-I know exactly where it is.
Ugh. Where did I put my harness?
Today is not the day to do this.
Today is the day we do this!
Today is the day, we become the true masters of chima!
Today is the day we destroy the--
What are you doing, plovar?
Why, I'm working on your fabulous smile.
Did you forget our teeth-cleaning appointment,
Craggy-wag?
Um, sort of...
Plovar: How you gonna keep those pearly whites polished
Without plovar here picking 'em pretty, huh?
Cragger: Not a good time, plovar.
Ahem, like there's anything more important
Than the glorious grin you greet the world with every day.
Brother, you need some schoolin'
In the fine art of dental hygiene.
Um, is there any chance we can reschedule?
Fine. It's your teeth. I'll see you then.
Continue with your-- whatever it is you're doing.
Okay. Now, let's destroy the lions!
He is such a sweet boy. He's just misunderstood.
Defend the temple! Protect the chi!
Get away from my chi!
No!
Both: Whoa!
Cragger? Is that you? Ugh.
Gorzan: The great mellow will have to wait.
The lions need our help.
All: Whoa!
What are you waiting for? Finish it already.
Cragger, it doesn't have to be like this.
We used to be friends.
Until you buried my parents.
All that was an accident!
How many times do we have to go over this?
And you did nothing to save them.
You could've gotten me that chi!
No, I couldn't. It's not mine to give.
It belongs to all of chima.
Ugh. Here we go again.
I've heard the great story too.
About mount cavora, and the legend beasts,
And your need to protect chima from its own chi.
We share the chi to keep chima balanced.
Peace and harmony.
Look around you, laval.
Was that peace and harmony you saw outside your lion temple?
No, it was you attacking us.
That's right. And we'll attack you again.
So forget about peace and harmony now,
Unless you surrender.
What? Are you serious?
You don't have a choice.
I'd say you're the one with no choice.
Fine, then. Do it.
Show me no mercy. I would show none to you.
Ah. What? What? What are you doing?
Scoring one for peace and harmony, you mouthy mud-lover.
What? But you can't just leave me here.
I'm your enemy!
No, you're not.
You're an old pal who forgot who his true friends are.
In time, you'll come around.
Ah. Finally.
My first chi.
What? Not again!
When will you learn? I am not your friend!
Cragger! Old friend!
Throw me a vine!
Are you serious?
What part of "I'm not your friend"
And "I'd show you no mercy" did you not understand?
You always were a lousy swimmer.
All: Huh?
Even with the eagles and gorillas,
I'm not sure we can hold out much longer, sir.
We must. Without us, chima shall perish.
Huh? No way.
Cragger: Argh. How goes it?
Their allies have slowed us a bit.
But it won't be long before
The lion defenses crumble completely.
And you? Did you deal with laval?
Oh, no! Laval.
Crooler, I think I made a terrible mistake.
Ahh. Don't worry, we won't be seeing laval ever again.
Ah! Holy razoli!
I must be seeing things. Is that a legend beast?
Whoa!
It's impossible!
Legend beasts don't even exist!
Or do they?
What's gotten into everyone?
Crooler? You too?
I've never seen a legend beast.
I've only heard the great story.
And it's just a story. And they're just another creature.
Four legs, instead of two. They're no match for us.
And our chi!
I'll show you what a real legend looks like, beast!
I believe this belongs to me.
Stay down, cragger. It's over.
Fine. I surrender.
But this is so not fair.
You have the chi and the legend beast.
What do I have?
You have about 10 seconds to get your troops out of here.
Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
You know, this isn't over.
And you know you only have five seconds left. Four. Three.
Two. One.
And... He's gone.
You could've completely destroyed him, you know.
Yeah. I know, dad. The chi gave me that power.
But it also gave me the strength to set him free instead.
Today, son, you really have become a true lion warrior.
For chima!
Where's the legend beast going?
Don't know. But I'm sure he'll be back
When we need him most.
Just like the great story says.
The great story?
But I thought you always said that was so boring.
Nah, it just needed a better ending.
And now it has that.
