Author's ramble: Hey guys! I'm back, sort of. I'm still busy but I wanted to update this, I didn't want to repeat my past delayed update. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this song/scene. The song came out great! You don't notice certain things until you have to use it for your fic. I didn't know this, but In the song "Be prepared" from "The Lion King" every line rhymes with every other line (except for 1 or 2 parts). This made revising the song EXTREMELY challenging and even more rewarding/amazing/fulfilling when I actually accomplished it!! WHEW! So, I truly love how this song came out. Plus it's a great "evil plot" song (actually, most Disney "evil plot" songs are). It's very dramatic and fits perfectly for my musical. Anyway, that's all for now. ENJOY! And all reviews are appreciated. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!!!
Once again, bold=singing, Italics=spoken parts within a song
Act 4, Scene 4
(Mystique finally wakes up after being drained of energy by Rogue.)
Mystique: Oh no! How long have I been out? I hope the plans have
not been ruined.
(She runs as fast as she can towards the school. She enters the building and
heads for her office where the brotherhood are waiting for her. She orders
Pietro to search the school quickly to make sure no one is there. When he comes
back 2 seconds later, he says there was only a janitor mopping the floors a few
meters down, by the auditorium.)
Mystique: What is a janitor doing here now? Cleaning the floors, I
suppose. Oh well, he's all the way over there and I'm too short for time to
bother.
(She closes the door to her office, leaving a little room for air from Toad's
odor and morphs into her true form.)
(An eagle comes flying swiftly and silently towards the principal's office,
landing quietly just outside. It then changes shape into a human
figure...Rogue's. She listens in on the conversation going on inside.)
Mystique: I called you all here for a very important plan that we
must get underway. The first step has been complete, and now we must get you
ready for the big and most important step. We must succeed in carrying out this
plan...do you hear me?!
All (very unenthusiastic and uncoordinated): Yes, Mystique
Mystique: I said...DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!
All (synchronized): YES, MYSTIQUE!!
(Mystique sighs, and looking quite disappointed. She closes her eyes and
pinches the bridge of her nose in frustration.)
Let's prepare (to the tune of "Be prepared" from "the Lion King")
[Mystique:] I always thought these kids were hopeless
They're crude and unbelievably lame
But maybe they've a bit of some usefulness
If I can make them docile and tame
It's sad that your powers and ambition
Are not all I had hoped they would be
But we've set up perfect conditions
Even you can't be too dumb to see
It's clear from your past altercations
Your bark is far worse than your bite
But if my words are any indication
Even you cannot lose this big fight
Let's prepare for the fight of a lifetime
Let's prepare for a great new life
An exciting new era
Is becoming clearer
[Blob:] So what's gonna happen?
[Mystique:] Don't want any yappin'
I know it's a challenge
But somehow you'll manage
When the time comes for you to fight
The odds will be unequally shared
Let's prepare!
[Toad:] What are we preparin for, yo?
[Mystique:] For a whole new life!
[Toad:] Why? We movin?
[Mystique:] No, you fool, we're going to change things so that mutants rule!
[Blob:?] Really? All right! Yeah man! We're gonna rule!
[Avalanche:] But how will we do that with the X-men always messing things up?
[Mystique:] They will be taken care of!
[Quicksilver:] But they always beat us...
[Mystique:] Don't you worry
This plan will get them out of our way and we will rule!
[Brotherhood:] Yeah!! All right! Mutants rule! Long live the Brotherhood! (Long live the Brotherhood!)
It's great that we'll be able to lead
This world that's kept us down for so long
[Mystique:] Of course, don't forget, that you'll need
To make sure that nothing goes wrong
The future is ours for the taking
It's ours to do as we see
But point that I'll always be making
Is you must always listen to me!
So prepare to change course of the future
Let's prepared for this fail-proof plan
(Ooooh!)
We will not lose this one
(We'll beat them!)
We'll finally have won
(Beat them hard)
Always had to conceal
(We repeat)
But now finally we'll
(They're dead meat)
Be rulers of this world
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
Our dreams will be unfurled
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
They'll see how superior we are
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
Yes our pow'rs and ambitions are rared
Let's prepare!
[Brotherhood:] Yes our pow'rs and ambitions are bared
Let's prepare!
(Rogue, shocked by what she's just heard runs as fast as she can out of the school, heading off somewhere as fast as she can.)
