"Ladies and gentlemen."
The crowd watching as Atero Nui approaches its doom (and is rescued by several people) is parted by a large truck with Dontru's mask and campaign slogan painted on the side. "The Don" himself is standing atop the truck, somewhat arrogantly looking down upon the multitude.
"I know why this is happening, and I bet you all know, too. And you know it's the Mangai who are to blame, and Xia." He raises his right hand and his voice, continuing, "You see, we have no military, to stop things like this meteor that's about to kill us all.
"We need an army. Who owns our army right now, anyway? Those eight people over there do." He points at the five present Mangai accusingly. "In fact, they own our only army and they won't even deploy it here to protect its citizens or help them evacuate! They're going to just do the jobs themselves. Who do they work for? Who are they accountable to? No one.
"And Xia! They're the reason those eight buffoons have our army! We never needed one! We have always relied on Xia to protect us from Brotherhood of Makuta air attacks, and our civilian defenses have proven just barely adequate to combat a Makuta attack force. What we need is to create a defense budget, ladies and gentlemen, and from that budget, we can prepare ourselves to be safe from actual harm."
