Mufasa then tells Simba that since it is beyond their borders, he must never go there. Later, Simba is tricked by his uncle Scar into going there with his best friend Nala. There, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed try to kill the cubs, but they are defeated by Mufasa. Later, Scar has a meeting with the hyenas in the Elephant Graveyard, where he sings "Be Prepared".
