I know that your powers of retention [Leona approaches the Savanaclaw students.] Are as wet as a warthog's backside [Leona lays a single hand on one of them, before pulling away and flicking it like it's wet.] But thick as you are, pay attention! [One of them giggles and Leona suddenly snaps toward them and gets all up in their face ("Pay attention!")] My words are a matter of pride [Diagonal down angle so you can see his chin but not his shoes or anything as he says this.] It's clear from your vacant expressions [The Savanaclaw students just looking confused.] The lights are not all on upstairs [Leona taps his head, glaring at them.] But we're talking kings and successions [Leona snarls, mimicking a crushing motion with his hand.] Even you can't be caught unawares! [Another Savanaclaw student chuckles before Leona gets all up in their face too ("caught unawares!") before the guy gets launched into the air by volcanic activity.] So, prepare for the chance of a lifetime [Leona jumps down from the rocks he was just on.] Be prepared for sensational news [Leona smacks a dude with his tail.] A shining, new era Is tiptoeing nearer [He approaches the others with singsongy sorta gestures] And where do we feature? [One Savanaclaw student, lets call him Nuka, asks.] Just listen to teacher [Leona pats him on the head. hard.] I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last, I am given my dues [Jack walks in, sees the scene, and immediately hides behind a rock to avoid being seen.] And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared! [Leona roars this as he basically whips the others with his tail right into a bone pile.] Yeah, be prepared! We'll be prepared! For what? [Ruggie climbs out of said bone pile, trying his best to shake off most of them, but still coming out looking like a minor deity of scavengers.] For the death of the king! [Leona says this while darting a picture of Malleus.] Why? Is he sick? [Ruggie asks.] No, fool, we're gonna kill him- and Simba, too [Leona ruffles his hair and slips a hunting skull mask on Ruggie's forehead.] Great idea! Who needs a king? [Nuka says this while looking toward the other Savanaclaw students.] No king! No king! La-la-la-la-la-la! [A trio of them circle each other while chanting this.] Idiots! There will be a king! [Leona interrupts, leaning over the rock he's on.] But you said, uh... [Nuka tries to say.] I will be king! Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again! [Zoom out slowly, to show Leona towering over the others cos hes on that rock.] Yay! All right! Long live the king! [Ruggie and Nuka jump up into the air while saying this.] Long live the king! Long live the king! [The rest of the dorm joins in.] King, king, king, king, king, king! [Ruggie rushes past the camera to transition into the next scene.] It's great that we'll soon be connected [All of Savanaclaw marching like an army.] With a king who'll be all time adored [Leona watches them with a half-smirk.] Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected [Leona stands up a bit to say this, ("of course") and does the little finger wiggle thing ("quid pro quo") before baring his fangs a bit and pointing up. ("you're expected")] To take certain duties on board [Leona swipes a claw just over his throat. yknow. cos theyre gonna trample Malleus.] The future is littered with prizes [Leona turns slightly to look in Jack's direction (yes Jack's still hiding)] And though I'm the main addressee [Leona smiles a full tooth smile.] The point that I must emphasize is [Leona leaps down again.] You won't get a sniff without me! [He gets all up in Nuka's face again, but like, actually aggressive and yelling at him so he gets startled and runs.] So prepare for the coup of the century [All of Savanaclaw (except Jack ofc) joining in on the choreography, volcanic activity.] Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Ooh, la, la, la!) [Leona stamps his foot down to start a sandstorm.]
Meticulous planning (We'll have food!) [Switch to a shadows on the wall kind of thing courtesy of that sandstorm Leona started, so now the screen looks like a firelit cave wall. The shadows shape the silhouettes of Leona dropping something into Ruggie's hand.] Tenacity spanning (Lots of food!) [Ruggie casting his signature spell.] Decades of denial (We repeat!) [Dorm by dorm getting kicked out of the Spelldrive tournament to leave only Savanaclaw because Ruggie basically controlled them to do it with his signature spell. Visualize by showing each emblem excluding Diasomnia and Savanaclaw being crossed out by claw marks] Is simply why I'll (Endless meat!) [Pan back up to a silhouette of Leona.] Be king, undisputed Respected, saluted [Switch back to normal Leona, repeatedly clawing and raising his arms into the air as wild hand gestures to say all this. Dolly around him.] And seen, for the wonder I am [Stop dolly here, make him pull his hands to his chest, eyes wide (scarred eye as wide as it can be but not as wide as the other cos apparently thats how scars work)] Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared [Leona actually bares his teeth at this one.] Be prepared! [Zoom out to have him even higher above his dorm.] Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared [All of Savanaclaw cheering at his feet, basically.] Be prepared! [Everyone's on the same rock formation... except for Jack who runs off.]
