NARRATOR: Motshidi's mother is dead.
(laughing).
Now she fights to survive.
The realm is descending into turmoil.
A new dynasty emerges.
It's the final battle for control of the Savage Kingdom.
(squawking).
(snorting).
From the ashes from a crumbling empire,
a phoenix rises.
Sega is forging a clear path to the throne.
She rebuilt the Matahta pride from dust and despair.
Now they are ready.
(braying).
(roaring).
Sega and her sisters are on the verge of a new dynasty.
And their plans do not include him.
A two-faced tail-less despot,
Ramogata has played his part.
Now he and his brothers just take, take, take.
(growling).
No more.
Your time as our king is over.
You're history.
We are the future.
(laughing).
Commander Mmamotse smells treachery in her ranks.
(laughing).
She and her daughter are entitled to eat first.
(laughing).
But her disloyal minions hoard the banquet.
The spoiled princess played no part,
but takes more than her share.
One defiant traitor is tired of Lasedi's arrogant greed.
(snarling).
She won't stand for it anymore.
Mutiny spreads like a virus.
As far as the clan is concerned,
Princess Lasedi is no longer welcome to anything.
Mmamotse is losing control.
The gauntlet is down, news will spread quickly.
Motshidi is now all alone.
She is a year old, she has never been more vulnerable.
Her mother viciously killed.
Her training cut short, much too soon.
She is left with nothing but her instincts.
(calling).
And growing hunger.
Think. What would she do?
(twig snapping).
Way too naïve.
She's not fooling anyone.
She was never taught stealth.
This world is too big for her.
Motshidi needs time to learn and to grow.
But there is no patience in this violent kingdom.
(thunder).
(yipping, barking).
Weakness will be exploited.
(vultures hiss).
Kitso leads the Makulu pack into the heart of the kingdom.
It's time to challenge hyena rule.
(yipping, growling).
Right on cue, the wretched soldiers appear.
With no purpose but to harass and plunder.
(laughing).
(growling).
(snarling).
Rotten thieves.
(laughing).
This time the dogs are not afraid.
(yipping).
That's the last thing you will ever take from us.
(yipping).
Kitso knows it's a gamble.
(snarling, growling).
And would love nothing more than to tear a
tyrant limb from limb.
NARRATOR: Kitso's mob has the spoiled princess cornered.
(growling, yipping).
(yipping, barking).
Slink back to where you belong.
Tell your mother her days are numbered.
Kitso's new army is triumphant.
Winning back their rightful place in the heartland.
Motshidi haunts the shadows.
She's eaten nothing since her mother left.
She cannot hide forever.
Death stalks hunger.
The unmistakable perfume of fresh blood.
Something she hasn't smelled in a long time.
Her absent father, the cannibal king is back.
Breakfasting on baboon.
Sweet revenge for her mother's death.
(growling).
Blue Eyes took a beating but it's worth it.
He won't lose this prize.
Motshidi must stay low.
(laughing).
(growling, hissing).
If the rotten scout spots her, it could be the end.
(growling, hissing).
Show no fear.
(growling, hissing).
She follows her father's lead as best she can.
(growling, hissing).
He could be someone to look up to.
And he does have food.
But he's not the sharing sort.
Tread carefully.
Blue Eyes will think nothing of killing his own daughter.
He's done it before.
NARRATOR: Motshidi begs her father for food.
(snarling).
Even just a small taste?
Deadly temptation draws her in.
She has nothing left to lose.
(growling).
Her courage pays off.
Blue Eyes takes pity on his feeble daughter.
And leaves her his meal.
His act of charity is out of character.
It will not happen again,
but it will buy Motshidi some time.
She must learn to kill for herself,
or she will die.
The Matahta pride has seen the last of Ramogata.
Sega has cast off the millstone.
Her four useless sons will be the next to go.
(growling).
They won't help her reach the throne.
Only her daughter holds the key to the kingdom.
(snorting, squealing).
She trains like a warrior,
while her lazy brothers couldn't care less.
Women's work.
The Matahta sisters won't sit back and
watch their daughter fail.
A pig can go a long way.
(snorting).
(squealing).
(squealing, snarling).
(squealing).
The pride's time is coming.
This young champion is one of their own.
She delivers a feast for all.
Empires are built on fresh blood.
(laughing, howling).
Princess Lasedi still tries to pull rank.
(laughing, howling).
But she's no longer welcome at the hyena's feast.
The traitor will see to that.
(growling).
Hatred runs deep.
The princess does not understand.
But the traitor will teach her.
(crying).
Lasedi's standing is gone.
(growling).
You are no longer anyone.
(growling, crying).
I want your head.
(laughing).
NARRATOR: The severed head of her daughter
is delivered to Mmamotse's door.
(laughing).
A not-so subtle sign.
Her troops are revolting.
When you build a clan on hatred,
it's destined to rot from within.
Lasedi just lost her head,
Mmamotse is losing her entire kingdom.
Motshidi cannot rely on handouts forever.
Her father's generosity has kept death a breath away.
She must kill something.
Anything.
(sniffing).
What little energy she has, wasted.
Motshidi's flame flickers weaker by the day.
How quickly tides can turn.
Mmamotse is losing her grip on her empire.
She once ruled every corner of this land.
Now even lowly sentries show her no mercy.
(growling, yipping).
(howling).
(growling, yipping).
She will be punished for her crimes of war.
(growling, yipping).
And banished forever.
(growling, yipping).
NARRATOR: Mmamotse fights to the bitter end.
But her reign of terror is finally over.
Mombo's darkest hour is past.
The gates to power are wide open.
The Makulu pack makes the first move.
Stamping their authority on the heartland.
(yipping).
No longer slaves to the hyenas,
Kitso's newest recruits are drunk on freedom.
Testing boundaries.
But everyone draws a line somewhere.
Kitso turns a blind eye to their antics.
These games home skills that will serve the pack well.
With Kitso as their leader,
the Makulu pack secures their future
as stewards of the Savage Kingdom.
Motshidi has no time for games.
She's starving.
But refuses to give up.
What is this monster?
Is it even food?
(growling).
Only the blind folly of innocence will follow an
unknown foe into darkness.
(growling).
NARRATOR: Motshidi emerges from the pit of despair.
She has finally slain her dragon.
A baptism of fire.
Her very first kill.
She can now fill her belly.
And secure her own future.
Motshidi finally takes her rightful place
on her mother's throne.
(mooing).
With Mmamotse's fate sealed,
her once impenetrable fortress is no longer safe.
You can trust no one,
not even your own army.
The traitors killed her first born daughter.
There's no guarantee they won't do it again.
She has no choice but to get her pups away.
She ruled the kingdom with an iron claw.
Everything she had is gone.
Cruel justice for the blood hungry tyrant.
Forces are shifting across the kingdom.
And Sega has the Matahta pride positioned perfectly.
Everything she's worked towards has
led to this moment.
With the hyena army in chaos,
the throne is now within her reach.
Now is her time.
But a handsome stranger could threaten her plans.
(growling).
The sisters are rightfully wary.
Males bring nothing but trouble.
(growling).
But if Sega is to be queen,
she could use a royal guard.
Young, fit, strong.
(growling).
But he is a king among kings?
The sisters must choose wisely.
(growling).
He stands his ground.
And proves himself a noble match for Queen Sega.
He vows to do what she commands
to protect her kingdom.
And he will provide more heirs to expand their empire.
All hail the new rulers
of the Savage Kingdom.
