Episode 2-30: A Lion Will Always Be A Lion
Right after Glory's brilliant performance is over, the Magift tournament begins with Team Glory versus Savanaclaw.
"It's time to make you pay for before!" Ace declares pointing his pen at the Savanaclaw trio.
"Alright. Gimme all you got." Jack dares cracking his fists.
"A-Are...the cameras already rolling?" Deuce mutters making Glory giggle and pats his shoulder.
"Like I said before Deuce, don't worry about it and do your best." She reassures but soon Ruggie let's out his hoot laughter.
"Shishishi! Is now really the time to be worried about cameras?" Ruggie snickers.
"Ffnaa~~~~!!! I'm gonna show the entire world my true power!" Grim shrills.
"I am your opponent. You won't have it easy." Leona cockily informs.
"Oh will see about that." Glory snarks back with a smirk.
"Aaannnnnd GOOO!"
As the game starts, the disc was thrown to the place where Glory shift her eyes to see the savanaclaw boys scurried in different directions. Her first analysis was Jack whom she locked eyes with where Glory sprints towards Jack's direction where he was about to use his magic on Deuce, but Glory quickly got in between and block his attack with her light shield.
"Thanks Glory-san!" Deuce exclaims with a grin and she grins back before turning to Grim.
"Now's you're chance Grim!" Glory shouts.
"I'm getting to it!" Grim yells as he scurried down the stadium where he immediately leap and catches the disc and throws at the goal with full speed ahead successfully getting a score from Team Glory where the audience starts cheering for them.
"Awww yeah!" Ace shrills with glee.
"Yes!!" Deuce cheers fist pumping in the air.
"Hell yeah!" Glory cheers as soon as Grim landed back to the ground.
"Nice shot Grim!" Glory praises with Grim crossing his arms letting out a cocky snicker.
"Keh heheh. I'm standing out all over the place!" Grim chuckles.
"Heh. You're very quick Wildcat." Jack compliments as Glory forms a smirk at the wolf.
"Like I said before, Jack. I trained." Glory reassures him.
"You don't hold back against the injured, huh!" Ruggie questions with a side grin. Soon Glory notices Leona smirking and she knew he's planning on something and Glory's grey eyes glued watching him strategizing his plan.
"Hey, Ruggie. Keep playing like you're exhausted for a bit. Jack, run around a while then counter when you have the chance." Leona informs.
"Roger!" Jack complies as he starts scurrying around the stadium.
"Oh no you don't wolfie!" Glory shouts as she runs after him, but soon caught her eye to see Leona seeking behind Ace like prey. Glory smirks and raise her left hand to manipulate the sun to stunned both men.
"Gah!" Leona and Jack winced and cover their eyes where Glory takes the opportunity to turn her head back to her friends with a bold smile.
"You're good to go Ace!" Glory shouts as Ace nods and grins.
"Got it!" Ace shouts as he threw the disc to Savanaclaw's goal and they successfully scored another. Right after they scored, Ace smiles and fist pumps with glee and Glory claps for him.
"Nice one, Ace!" Glory cheers.
"Alright! Our first goal!" Ace marvels. Soon Leona and Jack rub their eyes but smiles genuinely at them.
"Ha. Pretty good, but while you're celebrating we'll take that point back." Leona cockily declares, but Grim cackles and smirks.
"Fufufufu! Before you can do that, get a load of my super long shot!" Grim boldly proclaims. Glory giggled at Grim's usual cockiness until her eyes met with a pair of glowing green eyes and widen her eyes to recognized Diasomnia's dorm leader smiling at her.
"Mal..." Glory mutters when she saw Malleus until....
"I call it...The Great Grim Hurricane!" Grim shouts as he throws the disc at the goal.
"Glory-san watch out!" Deuce yells.
"Eeh?" Glory snaps out of her thoughts where she turns her head to see what's coming at her until she was hit by a disc knocking her out in process.
"GLORY!!!!" They yelled but soon Glory widen her eyes when her eyes glow yellow when she sees a vision of the sundrop in its former flower state where the elderly Gothel chants the healing incantation spell to it in the beginning of the movie, Tangled.

"Flower, gleam, and glow...."
Soon the flower starts to glow as she sang.
"Let your power shine"
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
What once...was mine.~"
And so, Gothel reverts back to her youthful self. Then a second vision came before her mind when a child Rapunzel sang the healing incantation spell whom Gothel taught her after abducting her from her royal home.
"Save what has been lost...
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine~."
Then the third came with Rapunzel as a young adult singing the healing incantation spell to heal Eugene with her long blonde hair due to the sundrop flower held underneath her long hair.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
"Flower, gleam, and glow...."
Soon her hair starts to glow as she sang.
"Let your power shine...
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine."
As Eugene witnessed her whole hair glow with Pascal giving him a knowing smirk as he raise him a thumbs up.
"Heal what has been heard...
Change the Fates Design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine...
What once was mine~"
Once she finished the final verse of the song, a shock Eugene took of the strand of her blonde locks where he looked stunned by the magic and starts screaming with Rapunzel ceasing him from doing so.
"Please don't freak out!" Rapunzel eases him as he looked perplexed yet shocked before trying to regain his composure.
"I'm not freaking out? Are you freaking out? No! I'm just surprised at your song and the magical quality it possesses how long has been doing that exactly?"
"Since my whole life." Rapunzel told him.
"Whoooaaa..." Eugene gasps fascinated by her incantation spell. Soon the third vision disappears and the fourth vision appears when a blue gem shines through the dark blue surface where small bubbles float around the small gem. Glory widens her eyes to recognize that blue gem that she witnessed.
What the-! Wait...That's the moonstone opal! But...why is it under-?
"Gah!"
Glory thoughts were soon interrupted when the moonstone flashes before her where the fifth vision starts with Cassandra's chest glows blue due to the possession of the moonstone opal.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
"Crescent high above
Evolving as you go
Raise what lies beneath
And let the darkness grow."
She chanted with rocks rise from the ground. Then the fifth vision cuts to the sixth vision where Rapunzel and Cassandra face each other at the tower.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Then the sixth vision cuts to the seventh vision where she sees Zhan Tiri grabbing the sundrop gem before ripping the moonstone opal from Cassandra's chest. Soon she smiles evilly when holding two gems together.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
"At last, it's mine! The gems are miiiinnnne!!!!" She yelled as she began to laughed hysterically before transforming into her dark demon form where she started terrorizing Corona, but was stopped by Rapunzel and Cassandra.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
"Do you really think you stop me?!" Zhan Tiri mocked while Rapunzel and Cassandra restrained her.
"No, but that's really the whole point!" Rapunzel retorted.
"Rapunzel!!" Cassandra then kicks the gold rock and the golden princess grabs it on time to cut her long locks with the gold rock where both of her wrists clash together causing a glow to emit where she screams in agony as she vanished from the sight without a single trace. After her vanquish, the next vision cuts to Rapunzel sending the two gems to the sky.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
"Gah!" She winced.
"Rapunzel don't! The power is too much!" Eugene warned but she shook her head.
"No! I'm taking that chance! We did not fight so hard to bring our friend back! It's up to me now!" Rapunzel exclaims as the determined princess of Corona approaches the gem and grabs it as blue and yellow aura emits through her hands where she starts chanting the healing incantation for the last time to save her close friend and her hometown.
"Flower...gleam...and glow...
Let your power shine...
Make the clock reverse....
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt...
Change the Fates Design
Save what has been lost..."
Soon Cassandra slowly batted her eyes and rises from the ground to she her true friend that she betrayed her remorse for.
"Raps?" She mutters with grey eyes filled with bewilderment here Rapunzel smiles warmly at her before she turned back to her loved ones where she squinted her eyes with determined and care for them.
"Bring back what once was mine..." She chanted as she closed her eyes and her eyes glow yellow where she starts floating in midair.
"What once was mine..." Rapunzel chanted as light of white, yellow, and blue energy burst through the building everyone rise up from the ground to see the princess shrilled on top of her lung where she raised her arms up to the air as the blast of the fused gems are pointed to the sky sending to space. While in space, the two gems descended down from the night sky when where both gems unfused as the sundrop and the moonstone were crashed into different locations in Twisted Wonderland.
————————
"Gah!...." Glory soon gasp and widen her eyes.
"Ah, you're awake! Ow!" Grim wince when Merlin slams his staff on his head.
"I can't believe you would threw a disc at my own student like that!" Merlin scolds. Glory blinks her eyes twice when she find herself at the infirmary.
It...was a dream?....
Glory thought curiously while still shook from the vision she had earlier.
"Ack! Come on! I said it was an accident!" Grim pouts while frowning at him. Bewildered, Glory rises up from the clinic bed where she pinches her temple perplexed from that weird vision.
What was that? Why was I dreaming of Gothel, Rapunzel, Cassandra, and Zhan Tiri? And...why was the Moonstone surrounded with bubbles just now?
She thought. Deuce and Ace notice their friend's uneasy look where Deuce came up to her with a concern look.
"Glory-san?" Deuce mutters.
"Hm? Gah!" Glory soon winces when a strong pain flows from the back of her head as Glory grabs the back of her head.
"Glory-san/Glor!" Deuce and Ace shrieks.
"I gotcha." Jack said who is sitting next to the right of her bed where he grabs her shoulders and pats her back with Deuce doing the same thing.
"You ok?" Jack ask curiously.
"Calm down Glory-san, we got you." Deuce reassures and Glory nods at both of them.
"Y-Yeah, but...how did I-?"
"You were knocked out in the second half of our match after Grim nailed you in the head with the disc. Do you remember?" Ace ask.
"Huh?" Glory curls her brow curiously.
"I was trying to score with a super long shot." Grim told her.
"Oh..yeah..." Glory understood but then thought about the tournament.
That's right, I was caught off guard when I saw Mal at the corner of the stadium before I was knocked unconscious by Grim. Though I'm still confused about that vision I saw. Why would Rapunzel send the sundrop and the moonstone to space that leads them to their world? The world where I was trapped aka soon to be MY home cuz *ahem* I'm future queen of Twisted Wonderland as Merlin said. Does she know about this? Matter of fact, why would Vivien gave me this sword?
Glory ponders while trying to connect the dots in her mind until her thoughts were interrupted by Jack's sighing.
"Newbies shouldn't try stuff like that." Jack advises them.
"Especially when they're unidentifiable beasts." Merlin implies dryly while giving Grim a blank look.
"I told you it was an accident!" Grim retaliates.
"Anyway, I'm glad you woke up." Deuce said.
"We were really worried about where you got hit since you didn't wake up for so long." Deuce explains.
"So how long was I out?" Glory ask curiously while stroking her head sheepishly.
"You've been asleep for so long that the closing ceremony is long over and they've already started dismantling the venue." Ace told her much to Glory's shock.
I was out for that long!?
Glory thought with her eyes widen before shaking her head and faces back to her friends.
"So which dorm won?" Glory ask curiously.
"The champion was Diasomnia." Leona told her who is sitting at the left of the clinic bed.
"Oh...damn." Glory sighs a little disappointed but was expecting that at the same time.
"Uughh. In the end, we didn't stand a chance. The other were all a mess so this year's tournament was a shit show." Ruggie grumbles with his ears droop down, but soon his ears perk up and grins genuinely at Glory.
"But at least I get to sit back and relax in the beginning. You definitely managed pull off that epic performance you did. Gotta hand to ya, Kitten. You were pretty impressive back there." Ruggie compliments with Glory giggling and smiling warmly at him.
"Thanks Ruggie." She replies with a gentle grin. Soon Merlin floats towards her with a bright grin.
"Your performance was truly an epic one indeed, but at least you three gave them all." Merlin reassures turning to the duo with a warm smile. Leona gazes at Glory for a moment where his face starts to flush before turning away while blushing a bit.
"...Yeah." Leona agrees with the tiny wizard as Merlin chuckles softly.
"Guess so." Ruggie shrugs nonchalantly.
"Leona, Ruggie! Are you finally awake?" Jack ask curiously.
"Tch...I cant believe I'm using an infirmary bed for something other than a nap." Leona grumbles.
"What do you expect? This is the only place for you to get healed. You should be at least be grateful for that." Merlin sasses, but Leona snorts and turns away.
"Whatever." He retorts.
"The fact not a single person from Diasomnia is in here really ticks me off." Ruggie complains.
"Really? There were only a few people in Diasomnia?" Glory ask with her eyes widen in surprise.
"Yeah. I heard rumors, but Diasomnia's dorm head is stupid good." Ace whines.
"Yeah...It was something else. I wish you could've seen it, Glory-san." Deuce remarks with Glory nodded at him with a downcast look.
"Sounds like a real drag of an tournament then...." Glory remarks feeling disappointed by the results.
"It is! I totally get why no one can imagine beating him." Ace complains.
"Hmph. No one can win if they give up before they even try. I'm definitely going to best Diasomnia next year without using underhanded tactics, only my own strength." Jack proclaims, but Leona scoffs at his proclamation.
"Hmph. 'Underhanded tactics' require one's own strength, y'know?" Leona reminds him causing Glory to go deadpan.
"You don't feel any remorse about this, don't ya?" Glory ask skeptically making Leona smirk.
"Feel bad? What do I have to feel bad for? I gave my all to win this year and I'll give it my all again next year." Leona arrogantly retorts.
"Shishishi! That's the Leona we know." Ruggie cackles.
"My, my, such typical arrogance you have." Merlin sighs shaking his head at him.
"Now I'm already worried about next year..." Jack mumbles scratching his head with a hint of fear in his eyes. Glory then sighs.
"A lion will always be a lion, but..." Glory soon crept a sweet smile.
"That's okay, cuz I'm glad that you're healed Leona. I'm very happy." Glory expresses with a bright smile making Leona blink his eyes before turning away brushing kind words her off.
"Don't say things like that! I-It's not that I owe you anything..." Leona grumbles deeply embarrassed by her kind words, but Glory didn't pay no mind and giggle at his tsundere reaction.
"Whatever you say, Leona." Glory replies casually while smiling at him.
"I'm gonna be in the tournament for real next year!" Grim exclaims.
"We've gotta do our best to make sure we get a spot on the team next year, too." Deuce affirms with a grin.
"You're right, I don't wanna stand out for being dumb like this year." Ace proclaims. Suddenly...
"Aah! Oji-tan! I found you!"
"Eh?" Glory and the others turn their heads to see a little boy with orange hair smiling. That is when Glory died when seeing the cute little boy.
***HE IS SO ADORABLE!! 😍♥️^***
OMG it's a cute human version of Simba!!!
Glory thought while squealing inside as she let's out a soft giggle while grinning widely at the adorable little lion boy.
"Hm? Who's this kid?" Grim ask curiously.
"Oji-tan!" The young orange haired boy beams as he scurried towards Leona.
"Ah...crap. Another annoyance." Leona groans. This made Glory let out a giggle and smirks at Leona.
"My my, who do we have here?~" Glory ask playfully while covering her large smile.
"Mmm yes. Care to introduce your little friend here, Kingscholar? Or should I say...bachelor number 2?" Merlin teased causing Glory and Leona to widen their eyes and their face flushed.
"Merlin!" Glory scolds at him.
"Shut it old man!" Leona snarls while blushing as he reminisces the kiss incident that happened to him back at the stadium.
"Oh oh oh oh! I'm pulling your legs, but you two crack me up!" Merlin chortles.
"Which that makes him Glor's second husband." Ace snickers.
"Oi don't make fun of her!" Deuce scolds at him.
"He's a deadman." Grim remarks with a blank look.
"You looking forward to get a death wish?" Jack dryly ask.
"Nah, but this whole thing is funny! Hahaha! Guy-Magnet strikes again with her charms and looks!" Ace jokes before he laughs his ass off once again. Glory stares at Ace with a blank look before lifting her arm up to Merlin.
"...Merlin get my bag for me." She requests.
"Understood, my sundrop." Merlin as he floats his way but Ace realized what he's doing and froze.
"Gah! Wait! I'll stop! I was joking after all!" Ace panics while chuckling nervously.
"Mmmhmmm..." Glory hums sassily with her arms fold and her brows curled.
"That's what we thought you'd said." Merlin dryly snarks. Glory raise a hand to him as she and Merlin gave each other high fives.
"These two are like twins..." Jack mutters while staring at them while sweatdropping.
"You'll never know Jack." Deuce sighs.
"Pfft bachelor number 2." Ruggie snickers.
"Shut up Ruggie!" Leona bellows with a red vein throbbing from his head.
"Oji...Tan?" Jack stutters with eyes widen in shock.
"This furball is my brother's son, Cheka." Leona told them as he let's out a sigh.
"....My nephew." He introduces causing them to widen their eyes in shock.
"Ne-Nephew?!" They all stutter with shock looks.
"That means...He's the one who's next in line for the throne..." Ruggie mutters.
"Kyahhh~ How cute!!" Glory squeals while covering her mouth smiling at his adorable nephew.
"Your match was so cool, Oji-tan! Next time you're home you've gotta teach me magical shift!" Cheka pleads shouting through his ears causing him to wince.
"I got it! I got it! Don't shout in my ear. Where are your bodyguards? They're probably losing their minds looking for you." Leona ask curiously.
"I couldn't wait to see you so I left them behind. Hehe." He chuckles cutely.
"Uuhh...Umm. So the root of all Leona's pain is..."
"An innocent little angel?" Glory assumes tilting her head while grinning.
"He's really attached to him, y'know." Grim points out and Glory nods.
"Yeah...and so cute." Glory mutters.
"Shut up. ....Stop staring at me!" Leona snaps glaring at them.
"Dawwww is the big strong lion, Leona, embarrassed by a cute wittle cub like him?~" Glory teases making Leona flustered and turns away.
"N-No I'm not! Shut up!" He stutters.
"Hahaha! He's turning red! You're doing a good job flustering him, Kitten! Keep on doing it!" Ruggie cackles.
"Do you want me to kill you?!" Leona threatens while the little hyena is laughing.
"Hey hey, Oji-tan! When are you coming home? Next week? After that? Ah, have you read my letters?" Cheka ask curiously while sitting on his stomach smiling purely at him.
"Ugh, I've told you already. I'll go home on holida-! Ouch, hey. Don't sit on my stomach!" Leona winces.
"Oof that's gotta hurt." Glory mutters.
"Oh my. This is a difficult position." Merlin remarks.
"H-He's just casually sitting on Leona's stomach?!" Jack shrills.
"Pfft hahaha! This is rich!" Ruggie cackles.
"So this is why Leona never wants to go home." He assumes while laughing.
"Well...I can see why." Glory mutters. Soon Cheka turns to them with a curious look.
"Are you guys Leona's friends?" He ask curiously making Ace chuckle.
"Yep Yep. We're your Oji tan's friends. Right, Oji-tan?" Ace teases making Glory giggle.
"Ace you shoul- Pfft. Heheh." Glory giggles softly.
"Oji-tan...! Ahahaha! Owowow, it hurts to laugh." Ruggie whimpers.
"Stop laughing, you bastards! I'll remember this for later!" Leona snarls with his patience running low. Seeing the small hyena in pain, Glory stands up from the infirmary bed and walks towards Ruggie shocking her friends.
"Oi Wildcat, what are y-"
"Don't worry about me." Glory reassures as she approaches Ruggie and sat next to him surprising him.
"Umm what are y-"
"Lend me your arm." Glory requested.
"Eh? I'm fine. There's no need for you to-"
"Lend. Me. Your. Arm. Ruggie." Glory repeats her words with a very stern tone and the little hyena flinched at her threats before letting out a sigh.
"Fine." He grumbles as he lifts his arm up and Glory carefully pulls his sleeves up to see a large crack on his arm making her grimace.
"Jesus Christ, Leona..." Glory mutters making Leona turning his head a little awkwardly while stroking the back of his head. She then sighs and lays her left hand onto Ruggie's cracked arm.
"Flower, gleam, and glow."
Soon her left hand began to glow shocking the boys and Cheka whose eyes sparkle in amazement.
"Let your power shine...
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine~."
She marvels as the light engulfs his entire arm with Ruggie looking speechless and his eyes widen.
"Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates Designs...
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine...
What once was mine~."
As she sang the last chorus, the light fades away leaving his arm all healed with crack on his arm vanished. Amazed a bit, Ruggie takes a good look at his arm before smiling.
"Thanks Kitten." Ruggie smiles warmly with Glory grinning back.
"You're welcome." Glory grins back. Soon Cheka crawls off of Leona's stomach and ran towards Glory where he clings on to her legs. Felt someone's clinging on to her legs, Glory glance down to see Cheka staring up at her with eyes glimmer with admiration and has the biggest smile.
"You're Gloriane Corbett, right? That was so cool! What kind of magic is that?" Cheka ask curiously making her smile at the adorable cub.
"It's called Healing Incantation. It's when I sing a special song to them and I do it by using this mark on my hand right here." Glory informs as she shows off her sundrop tattoo on her left hand making Cheka going awe at the tattoo.
"That's so awesome! Oji tan has a tattoo on his arm too!" Cheka chirps.
"Except it doesn't allow me to heal everyone." Leona bluntly points out with Cheka chuckling.
"I know that Oji-tan! Also, can I call you oba-tan?" Cheka ask with a jolly grin making her wide her eyes.
"Oba tan!?" Glory shrills.
"Oi! Cheka!" Leona shouts with a flushed face.
"Pfft hahahaha!! Oba-tan?! That makes you and Leona husband and wife! Ahahah!!!" Ruggie cackles making Glory glance at him with a deadpan look.
"Oh ha ha. Very funny Ruggie." Glory sarcastically remarks and soon Ace starts laughing as well.
"So when's the wedding going to be?" Ace jokes.
"Do you want to get your balls and dick sliced?" Glory threatens and that quickly shuts him up.
"No." Ace replies out of fear and Glory smirks triumphantly.
"Good." Glory remarks. Then she turns to Ruggie with a chillingly sweet smile.
"Oh Ruggie~." Glory coos as she leans towards the hyena's face.
"Eh? Ack!" Ruggie shrieks with his ears perk up when facing the wrath of Glory's light aura.
"If I hear another damn word out of ya, I will shed your fur and turn it into a fur coat. Got it?" She menacingly reminds him as Glory gets into his face with Ruggie froze in shock yet fear.
"...Yes ma'am." Ruggie replies fearfully and smiles triumphantly as she leans back with her arms fold.
"Thank you. Now I'm satisfied." Glory said and Leona looks stunned yet terrified.
Note to self: NEVER get into her bad side.
Leona thought while sitting on the bed scared shitless from the terrifying ravenette. On the other hand, Jack and Deuce looked speechless with sweatdrops dripping down from their heads.
"Yup. It's a official. She's definitely a Wildcat for sure." Jack mutters.
"She's been hanging out with Riddle too much." Deuce mumbles.
"I wouldn't say that in front of her if I were you." Merlin whispers to them.
"What?" Glory turns her head to the duo.
"Gah! Nothing!" They both flinched.
"See." Merlin points out. Glory giggles and grins.
"That's what I thought." Glory remarks as she turns back to Cheka.
"Back to what was I saying, I don't mind if you called me Oba-tan. Also call me by my nickname, Glory." She reassures making the little boy grin.
"Thank you! I saw your performance and it was awesome! There were lights everywhere and your dress is so pretty! You're like a goddess when you sing to the crowd! I was on my feet jumping cuz I love your song! And you were amazing back at the tournament! Though I did feel bad when you got knocked out by a cat." Cheka pouts.
"I AM NOT A CAT!!" Grim bellows with a frown. Overall, Cheka smiles nevertheless.
"But I had fun! The tournament was really epic! You were very strong! Just like the female warriors back in my home!" Cheka chirps.
"Eh? Warriors?" Glory tilts her head.
"Mhm. My dad said female warriors are respected by everyone in my hometown. Even Oji-tan has great respect for women!" Cheka told her.
"Oh~ Does he?" Glory ask when she turns to Leona with an amused smirk making the lion flustered.
"Well I-"
"Oji-tan! You have to respect her! She's a woman!" Cheka yells.
"He's right you know. You have to respect me cuz I'm a woman~." Glory teases forming a playful pout as she bats her eyelids at Leona, who turns beet red when she teases him.
"I may have respect for you, but that doesn't mean I owe you anything!" Leona retorts and turns away.
"Eeehh? Is that how you treat a lady like that? I'm hurt~. Boo hoo!" Glory playfully coos faking her tears.
"Aww that's mean Oji-tan!" Ace teases him joining the teasing group.
"Yeah, you better apologize Leona. Didn't you say you respect women?" Ruggie ask with a smirk who is also joining to tease his dorm leader.
"Shut up...All of you shut up!" Leona roars with an irritated look while blushing as Glory and Cheka giggle at his reaction as the young cub turns to Glory.
"By the way Oba-tan, can you sing a song for me?" Cheka ask.
"Oi Cheka-"
"I don't see why not. Sure, I'll do it." Glory accepts.
"Wha-?! Lioness!" Leona shrieks.
"Yay!" He cheers and Leona groans as he face palms.
"Goddamnit." He mutters.
"Here I'll start the music. Merlin could you grab me my backpack?" Glory ask curiously.
"Why certainly, sundrop." Merlin complies as he floats down to his desk and grabs her backpack. Then he floats back to his student and gives her bag. Glory then unzips her bag to grab and pulls out her phone where he goes to her music app and scroll down to her playlist of songs. She then taps the song that says "Just Can't Wait To Be King". Then the song begins with African drums playing in the beginning before upbeat tempo starts to kick in. Glory then stomps and began singing.
"I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!" Glory proclaims. Leona rolls his eyes and folds his arms.
"Well I never seen a King of Beasts with quite some little hair." Leona bluntly remarks pointing his thumb at his nephew with Cheka chuckling and Glory rolling her eyes at Leona. She then walks up to Leona where Glory walks behind him and gingerly lifts a strand of his brown hair.
"I'm gonna be a mane event like no King was before!" Glory sang while playing with his long hair causing everyone to chuckle and snicker. Leona blushes and turns to Glory with a scowl. She then walks beside him where she posing as a warrior mimicking what Simba did in the movie.
"I'm brushing up on looking down. I'm working on my ROAR!" Glory roars as she stomps getting into Leona's face with the lion covering his ears with an agitated look when she did that.
"Hmph. This is rather uninspiring thing." Leona snorts, but ends up getting bonk in the head by Merlin when he slams his staff on his head.
"Shut your mouth boi." Merlin shushes him with Leona frowning at him while rubbing his head.
"Oh I just can't wait to be King!~" She sang as she lifts Cheka up with the boy giggling as Glory swings him around where she dances to the beat. Meanwhile, Ace and Deuce are chuckling, Grim is dying of laughter, Jack covering his mouth chortling, and Ruggie is just smiling widely where he brought his phone out recording the whole thing.
"This is great!" Ace laughs.
"Ahahahaha!!!" Grim cackles and rolls on the bed laughing.
"I can't...Pfft." Deuce chuckles while covering his mouth with his hand.
"Haha! Now that's what I called perfect blackmail material!" Ruggie cackles.
"Oi! Stop recording me Ruggie!" Leona shouts at the devious hyena.
"H-He's right..Pfft...let's not provoke Leona senpai...." Jack reassures while compressing his laughter, but Leona wasn't buying it and called him out.
"You're even worst trying your best not to laugh at me, Jack!" Leona roars causing him to flinch with his ears and tail to point upwards before his ears and tail sulk as the wolf looks away from his dorm leader.
"S-Sorry..." He apologizes feeling scared of his head dorm. Leona then let's out a sigh and turns to Glory.
"Being King is a long way to go, Lioness. Don't you th-" Leona's words was soon cut off when Glory lays Cheka on the mattress of the bed and goes behind Leona again. She then perks up from Leona with a silly smile.
"No one saying do this." Glory sang before hiding behind Leona making Cheka giggle.
"Lioness-." Leona was trying to speak, but was cut off again when Glory perks up to the right behind him.
"No one saying be there.~" Glory marvels doing her little cute head tilts while smiling with Cheka giggling at her.
"Lioness, listen to me-"
"No one saying stop that!" Ace chimes in with a sly smirk making Leona turning his head to him with a glare.
"Will you cut it out!?" Leona snarls at him.
"No one saying see here!" Glory sang with a cheery smile.
"Ugh kill me now." Leona groans pinching his temple looking like he's giving up. Glory then marches up to Cheka again where she starts twirling around flashing a bright smile at the little cub.
"Free to run around all day." Glory sang as she extends her hands to Cheka and the little cub happily obliged where he starts dancing with her.
"Welp. That's definitely out-"
"Free to do it all my way!~" She marvels as Glory twirls the little cub around making Cheka laughing cutely. Leona couldn't take it anymore and stands up where he stands between Glory and Cheka.
"I think it's time that you and I arranged a reality che-" Leona was about to explain to her, but Glory rises up and puts a finger on to his lips shushing him.
"Ssh! Kings don't need advice from a dorm head for a start~." Glory retorts as she starts marching her way with Cheka following her around mimicking her dance moves. Irritated, Leona cross his arms.
"If this where the monarchy is headed, count me out. Out service, out Africa. I wouldn't hang about!" Leona snaps.
"Woohoo!" Cheka cheers making Leona widen his eyes to see his nephew scampering around before he lets out a groan.
"I give up." Leona groans and plops back down to the bed with a look that says 'I'm-done-with-life' and 'why-are-you-doing-this-to-me?' as he watches Glory and Cheka dance like mindless cheery idiots.
"This is child getting wildly out of wing!" Jack shouts with his eye widen in shock yet worry.
"I agree!" Deuce chimes in, but Ruggie doesn't give a damn and shrugs his shoulders while recording the whole thing.
"Same here!" Grim shrills.
"But we love it! Shishishi!" Ruggie chirps pulling a thumbs up with an amused smile.
"Damn straight!" Ace agrees with a grin as both of them give each other high fives with Merlin shaking his head.
"My, my, such a chaotic group we're having..." Merlin sighs.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!" Glory sang marvelously. As soon as the beat drops, Glory starts extending her right leg in and out with Cheka mimicking her. Then she turns to right doing the same movements with Cheka following her lead while smiling. Then both of them twirl around with the biggest bright smiles as Leona gazes at Glory with his face looking blank, but his green eyes glimmer with admiration where he watches her and his nephew having a blast together.
"Everybody look left!" Glory cheers pointing her finger to the left with Cheka mimicking her.
"Everybody look right!" Glory sang pointing her finger to the right as Cheka follows her along. She then skips her way to Leona.
"Everywhere you look I'm..."
Glory then wraps her arm around Leona's shoulders while tilting her head to the beat.
"Standing spotlight!" Glory marvels extending her arm with Leona laying his hand on to her head and lightly shove her away.
"Yeah. No." Leona bluntly retorts, but Glory roll her eyes and smile before starts dancing again with Cheka mimicking her.
"Let every creature go for broke and sing!" Glory carols with a smile as she grabs his hand again and twirls him around making him giggle again. She then grabs the other hand where they do the tango.
"Let's bear it in the herd and on the wing.~" She marvels while doing a cute little tango with Cheka before lightly hooping his nose making the cute child giggle. Glory then skips back to Leona again when she wraps her arms around his neck.
"It's gonna be King Leona's finest fling!~" She sang with Leona rolling his eyes, but despite not agreeing with the lyrics nor he likes the song itself. He can't help but smile warmly at her pure smile that made his day bright and adoring the lioness that healed him.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!" Glory carols.
"Yeah!" Cheka cheers while smiling brightly.
"Oh, I just can't wait to king!" Glory sang marvelously.
"Oh, I just wait..."
Glory then stands up and lays her arms on top of Leona's head shocking him and the others before the boys let out a snicker.
"TO BE KIIIINNNNG!!!" She marvels as she slowly extends her right arm pointing her finger to the ceiling before posing.
"Yeah!" She cheers posing with a peace sign.
"Yaaaaaaay! That was awesome!" Cheka cheers as well while smiling cheerily as he bounces and claps his hands applauding for her performance along with the her friends and the Savanaclaw boys.
"Woohoo!! Ahahahaha!!!" Ace whoops while applauding her and laughing his ass off.
"Encore! Encore!" Grim cheers while applauding her with an amused grin.
"Hehehe. Can't hold it...hahaha." Deuce muffles before letting out a chuckle.
"Pfft. I feel bad for laughing, but-...Heheh." Jack chuckles while trying to act tough.
"Yeah! You go kitten!" Ruggie cackles as he stops the play button before letting out a mischievous snicker.
Perfect Blackmail material success!
Ruggie thought with a devious smirk triumphantly succeeding on getting everything recorded.
"Well done, Sundrop. Well done." Merlin praises while clapping his hands. She then climb down from Leona and slide down from the bed where Cheka runs to her and gave her a hug.
"Thank you for singing! I love the song you sang! You're amazing, Oba-tan!" Cheka compliments making Glory giggle.
"Thanks." Glory replies with a gentle smile as she pats his head making the cub giggle.
"Yep. That's our future queen alright!"
"Grim!" Merlin scolds at him.
"Geh!" Grim shrieks and covers his mouth for idiocy with the others panicked and Glory and Leona face palm. Hard.
"Really?" Leona grumbles.
"Goddamnit Grim..." She mumbles.
"Eeh? Future queen really!?" Cheka shrills with his eyes sparkle with amazement. Merlin sighs and shakes his head pinching his forehead.
"Honestly. What kind of keep this 'Future Queen of this world' do you not understand?" Merlin mumbles shaking his head at Grim for exposing the future queen secret to Cheka before he sighs through his nostrils. Then he floats his way down to the young cub.
"Yes my dear boy. This girl you're seeing will be the queen of our world once she graduates from Night Raven College. And I, Merlin, will help her trained to become a great and strong queen of our world." Merlin explains fascinating the young cub.
"Ohhhh. So you're a nurse and a mentor?" Cheka ask curiously and the tiny wizard nods his head with a grin.
"Indeed I am, young boy." He replies and that made the young cub smiled widely at the surprise.
"That's super cool! So you're going to be queen in our world? Does that you and Oji-tan king and queen?" Cheka ask making her and Leona blush.
"U-Um no. Definitely not." She reassures him.
"And it will never happened." Leona adds with a blunt tone.
"Ya sure about that Leona?" Ruggie teases making Leona and Glory glare at him.
"Shut up before I mauled you're face out!" He threatens.
"Not helping Ruggie." Glory dryly snarks.
"Meh whateve." Ruggie shrugs unfazed by the threats by the Head Dorm. Merlin sighs and turns back to Cheka.
"But here's the catch. You cannot tell anyone about this. Including your parents." Merlin reminds him.
"Eh? I can't?" Check ask confusingly.
"Correct, my young boy. Your uncle is also taking part of the secret and he and the rest of them are doing this because they want to protect her from harm. If that happens, then your Oba-tan will get hurt. You don't want that happening to your sweet dear Oba-tan, correct?" Merlin reassures him using the word 'Oba-tan' as a tactic to get him to corporate. Fortunately it works when Cheka nods and smiles understood the situation quickly.
"No I don't and if Oji tan and his friends are going to protect her, then I'll protect Oba-tan too!" Cheka proclaims as he pulls a thumbs up.
"You got yourself a promise mister!" Cheka vows and Merlin smiles.
"Good boy." Merlin praises him and pats his head making him giggle and smiled. As everyone in the infirmary sighed in relief.
"Thank god." Ace sighs.
"My heart was pounding for a moment there..." Deuce mutters while clenching his chest.
"At least he's being reciprocal about it." Jack points out.
"Baka. He's a kid. Kids like him get easily swayed." Leona retorts.
"Welp...not wrong there, but thankfully Merlin is there to persuade your rambunctious nephew of yours." Ruggie remarks.
"Shut up..." Leona grumbles with Glory sighing in relief.
Thanks Merlin, I owe you one.
Glory thought forming a relieved smile but then ponders about the vision again and Vivien.
But I have to keep the vision a secret from my friends and I have to talk to Vivien when I get back. I need to know why would she gave me the Excalibur.
Glory thought keeping those two personal things to herself. Suddenly her eyes wander to notice two dark figures outside from the Infirmary before it vanished from sight. Perplexed yet cautious, Glory squint her eyes widen a serious expression
But first things first: I have to deal with THEM and it ain't gonna be pretty....
Glory thought feeling that tomorrow is going to be a dangerous day for her.

Meanwhile at the halls, the Leech twins were sauntering along the halls with awfully calm grins plastered on their faces.
"Hehe you hear that Jade? Seally said that Lionfish is going to be the queen of our world. Isn't that exciting?" Floyd ask curiously with a grin.
"Indeed it is, Floyd. I can see why Azul is fond of her. She's getting much more interesting. Azul would definitely be ecstatic to hear the news about Angelfish." Jade implies with an intriguing smile making his twin brother chuckle.
"Just thinking about her makes me want to squeeze her more so she won't escape. Hehe. Her little dance and her voice is so cute! Kyaaah! I can't wait to meet her tomorrow!" Floyd squeals with Jade smiling deviously.
"Well what do you know? Same here, Floyd." Jade agrees as the twins chuckle deviously as their plans to meet their precious siren begins....
