Episode 2-26: Corrupted Leona

While facing Leona, everyone is on their hot heels when Glory and Riddle confront him.

"If you have that much power, why do things like this!?" Riddle exclaims.

"Why...? How's knowing the reason going to change anything? Are you going to scold me then comfort me?" Leona curtly ask.

"That's not the point Leona! You have a goal right in front of you and you're just going to drop the ball just like that?!" Glory scolds at him, but Leona wasn't fazed and let's out a 'Tch'.

"Listen here, Glor. In this world, there are plenty of times when talent and effort make no difference. Just like Ruggie can't do anything to me right now. So pathetic. Truly pitiful...." Leona rebukes with Ruggie hissing in pain worrying Glory.

"Ruggie!" Glory shouts.

"Knock it off! Unleash beast!" He chants as Jack transforms into a giant wolf surprising Glory and the gang.

"Holy f#*k!" Glory cussed at the sudden transformation.

"That's...!?" Riddle was about to say something, but was cut off by Jack's loud snarl.

"He's a giant wolf!" Glory points out while still stunned.

"The hell!? Gah!" Suddenly Jack tackles Leona to the ground leaving him defenseless.

"Leona is down! Off with your head!" Riddle chants as a collar appeared around his neck.

"Gaaah!" Leona winced causing him to release Ruggie as everything stopped shaking. With Ruggie coughing while holding his arm, Glory takes her chance to dash her way to Ruggie and lifts him up in a bridal style much to his shock.

"Guh...K-Kitten?" Ruggie stutters as he stares up to her grey eyes before she sends him a gentle grin.

"Hold on to me ok?" Glory reassures him. Though slightly touched by her act of kindness, Ruggie let's that slide and averts his eyes before nodding his head at her.

"...Sure." Ruggie mutters while lightly blushing from her kind nature as Glory grins warmly at him before turning back and runs back to the group while carrying a flustered hyena in her arms.

"Very nice Riddle! You stopped Leona's magic!" Cater praises him.

"Nice one Glory-san!" Deuce compliments with a grin as Glory giggles softly.

"Thanks Deuce." Glory grins before turning back to Ruggie as she kneels down to lays him to the ground, but allows him to lay his head on her lap.

"You okay Ruggie?" Glory ask curiously with a gentle tone. The hyena winces softly as he opens one eye to her before nodding at her as he wince his eyes shut while panting.

"Y-Yeah..." Ruggie mumbles while grunting. Glory sighs from her nostrils and pats his head gently.

"Hang in there, Kay?" Glory reassures as she turns to Sebek and Silver.

"Sebek, Silver, get these people out of here!" Glory shouts.

"Who do you think y-!"

"NOW." Glory seethes him with a menacing tone glaring daggers at Sebek making him flinch when she gives him a death glare. Silver lays a hand on his shoulder.

"Sebek, let's get any injured out of here." Silver reassures him.

"Don't assumes to give me orders, Silver!" Sebek retorts as both men start guiding the injured people out of the building. Once they're gone, Glory and her friends are left with Leona who is being pinned down by Jack.

"Damnit...! A collar, and a lion like me...!?" Leona rants.

"Jack! Where the hell did you get your hands on a banned transformation potion?" Leona ask as Jack reverts back to his human form but still pins him down.

"Unleash Beast!" He told him.

"My unique magic let's me shapeshift into a wolf!" Jack explains.

"Well that makes sense." Glory remarks while cradling Ruggie.

"Huh...You can use magic to become an actual dog? That's certainly unique!" Leona sarcastically compliments. Jack wasn't fazed by his insult as he grips on to his wrists tightly while staring down at him with an anguished look.

"Leona...I...I...! I wanted to get into this school because I looked up to you! Where has the Leona I admired gone to!?" Jack roars as Glory looks at him with a sympathetic look.

"Jack...." Glory mutters.

"Don't just shove your dreams onto me...So annoying...." Leona grumbles.

"I may not have the right to say anything but, I can't stand to look at you right now. Confine yourself to your room and cool your head for a bit!" Riddle sternly assures, but Leona wasn't moved by his words and folds his arms glaring at him.

"...What do you any of you know? Preaching on and on just like my brother..." Leona grumbles.

"Preach? What do you mean preach? We just don't understand why are you doing the things you're doing yet you wanted to give up? You got us all confused. If you're going to rant about not getting what you want, then take it seriously!" Glory lectures him.

"Shut up! You don't know anything! You're just a girl that looks like that wicked witch from Corona!" He retorts, but Glory didn't care when she called that because Glory is so done with this shit and flips her hair.

"...You're right I don't. I don't know exactly what your background is, but what I do know is the person I'm looking at is no dorm leader. All I see is a coward underneath a lion's mane. I'd say Leona, that was a chickenshit move you did there." Glory points out making Leona pissed.

"What did you say!?" Leona roars, but she wasn't fazed by his anger and shrugs her shoulders. Glory then cross her arms while giving him a serious look.

"I'm honest to the heart Leona. Your dorm, Ruggie, and Jack, they all look up to you and they really want this to happened. They're only doing this because they want to achieve their dreams and they were so excited about achieving their goals, but to hear you say that you wanna give up after we foiled your plans brings a huge letdown to not only your dorm, but to everyone in this stadium right now." Glory reassures causing Ruggie to blink his eyes in shock deeply moved by her kind words.

"Kitten..." Ruggie mutters while staring up at the sweet ravenette, but Leona scoffs.

"So what? You hate me or something?" Leona ask curtly. Glory stays silent for a minute as she lightly tilts her head to the left with a rue look before she replies with her eyes gleam with pity for the frustrated lion.

"...Honestly, I just pity you." Glory replies with a calm tone giving him a pity look. Leona kept his glare at Glory as he clench his fists tightly feeling his blood boils when being talked down by a freshman. Actually no, scratch that. By the only girl in Night Raven College, but soon was interrupted when Lilia barges into the conversation where he gives Leona a blank look.

"Hmph. Men like you are much more suited for that collar than a crown. Listening to a royal lion of the Savannah talk like this is appalling." Lilia expresses making the lion even more provoked.

"...Huh?!" Leona snarls, but Lilia wasn't fazed by his snarl and crept a smirk.

"You appear to be lamenting how you'll never be king due to natural skills and order of birth, but...You live slothfully if you aren't rewarded, if things don't go according to your expectations you become petty and find fault in your retainers." Lilia stated as he folds his arms to his chest smirking at him with contempt gleam in his eyes.

"To become a king as you are...The thought of you becoming a competitor to our Lord Malleus makes me laugh. Even if you are able to defeat him, as long as you hold that rotten grudge in your heart..." Lilia then extends his hand out.

"...You will never become a true king!" Lilia proclaims and Leona couldn't deny that as he lets out a low chuckle before laughing hysterically. Soon he slowly regains his leisure composure and smiles.

"Ah, your right. You're precisely right. It's like you said...Hahahaha!" He chuckles but comes out as a sad one.

"I can never become king...No matter how hard I work...!" He grumbles as the ground starts to shake again.

"Ah god! This again!" Glory shouts while clinging on to Ruggie.

"What's going on!? All my fur is standing on end!" Grim shrieks while hiding behind Glory.

"Leona's magic is increasing rapidly...Grrr, I can't, keep the seal on!...!!!" Riddle states while covering his face with his arm.

"No. This isn't magic at all. This amount of evil, negative energy...He can't be!" Lilia gasps.

"Everyone, get back!" Cater shrills as everyone takes cover where the collar vanishes as the skies turn dark and bleak shocking everyone in the stadium.

"Sh#t! This isn't good!"" Glory cursed while panicking when she saw his collar disappear.

"He blew off Riddle's magic sealing collar!?" Cater shrieks.

"I've been loathed since I was born, no place to belong and no future in sight. That will never change, even if I try." He grumbled as he grips his forehead making Glory widen her eyes that is written with panic in her grey eyes.

"No..." Glory mutters.

"This agony, this despair...How could any of you possibly understand!?" Leona cried as a large roar erupt from the background.

"LEONA!!!!" Glory shrills when her eyes glow black once again to see his heart completely darken by blot. Soon she went back to reality and stood there petrified when she saw a terrifying version of Scar.

"Oh my god...." Glory gasps when witnessing Leona's overblot form as he let's out a roar.

"Wh-What the hell!? A giant shadow just came out of Leona's body!" Jack yells.

"He's overbloted with magic!" Glory exclaims.

"And he's going 'Evil berserker mode' just like Riddle did!?" Grim shrieks.

"Grr...Retreat on your own if you can stand! Ace, Deuce, carry the injured outside. Lilia, please go get the teacher for assistance!" Riddle orders.

"Yes." They complied.

"Understood. Hang in there until I return." Lilia said as he teleports out of the stadium. Leaving Glory, Riddle, Cater, and the Savanaclaw duo the only ones left as Leona let's out a loud roar once more.

"Wuuehh. Why do we always get involved in scary things? I'm not made for this kind of stuff!" Cater complains.

"I won't mind if you run away in fear." Riddle casually told him making Cater sigh.

"Trey would have my head if I left you here all alone. I've got your back, Dorm head." Cater reassures with a wink.

"I don't really get what's going on, but we just have to knock Leona back to his senses, right?" Jack ask cracking his fists.

"I...I'll help too..." Ruggie mutters letting out a cough as Glory turns to look down to notice the hyena trying to get up and she grabs his shoulders.

"You're too injured to fight, Ruggie! You ca-"

"Baka." Ruggie cuts her off as he coughs once again.

"I can't just lay here after all he said." Ruggie proclaims.

"A lowly hyena is going to defy me?" Leona ask curiously before letting out a low laugh.

"...What a dumb joke. None of you will see the morning sun!" Leona growls.

"If we catch him, we're gonna be in the magical shift tournament! No holding back!" Grim shrills. Then Riddle turns to Glory.

"Bunny, stay with us! I want you to be part of this as well!" Riddle assures making her smirk.

"Oh don't worry about me Riddle..." Glory reassures as she whips out her dagger from her bra and pulls it out of her scabbard shocking the Heartslabyul and Savanaclaw duo.

"What the-!?" Cater gasps.

"Gah!?" Riddle shrieks with a flustered look where Glory spins her blade for a second before taking on her battle stance and points her dagger at Leona with a smirk plastered on her face.

"I got this under the bag! Besides, I've been training every early morning and afternoon for something like this to happened!" Glory exclaims with confidence.

"You hidden that underneath your-!"

"Don't ask!" Glory shouts cutting Jack off from saying anything.

"Can you not? I don't wanna look back at it again!" Ruggie rebuffs at Jack shooting him with a glare not wanting to reminisce back the boobs incident from yesterday.

"Less talking, more fighting!" She shouts as bits the glove from her left hand and puts it underneath her bra. Soon her left hand glows in light shocking Jack.

"That's-!" Jack gasps noticing her sundrop tattoo on her left hand as her dagger transforms into a bright shining sword.

"Geh...EEH!?" Glory shrieks when she sees her sword different.

"HOLY SH#T!!!" The boys shrills with their eyes widen to see her change of sword.

*****Glory's new upgrade on her dagger aka sword^****

"Wait...." Glory soon looks back at last night when she first met Vivien.

————————
"...What did you do?"

"I did an upgrade on your dagger. You now have full control of your weapon my Moonchild."
————————

So this is what she meant by it....

Glory thought while staring at her newly upgraded sword. On the other hand, Jack stood there stunned by what he saw, but then looks back on her words from yesterday.

———————
What do you mean by saving him? And how?"

"You might this baffling, but your dorm leader is in grave danger."

"Danger?"

"If Leona and your dorm keeps relying on dirty tactics then they'll be facing consequences afterwards and I will make sure that I, Gloriane Corbett, will prevent that from happening because...."

"...I will be the one who will bring Leona back to the light."
—————————

So that what she meant by that?...She's right! Leona is in danger!

Jack thought finally understood her words.

"Humph."

Soon Jack snaps out of his thoughts where he turns to Glory snaps out of her thoughts and face Leona who looked a bit impressed with her upgraded sword.

"Cool weapon you're got there, but that doesn't stop me from eating you all alive!" Leona snarls as he starts to sprint with Glory quickly pulls her battle stands and holds her sword pointing at him.

"Here he comes everyone!" Glory shouts shaking everyone out of their thoughts and nod.

"Hai!" They complied as they all face the corrupted Leona where the real battle begins.

Leona....don't you worry, I'll do whatever I can to bring you back to the light.
