Traitor Revealed/Script

====Opening==== (Iago teleports before Avatar and company) (Sudden thud) (Takumi suddenly holds Azura captive) (Strike noise) (Azura begins to sing her song) (Strike noise) (Takumi suddenly shoots Iago)
 * Elise: All right... the throne room is just upstairs from here.
 * Avatar: Understood. Wait. Someone's coming down.
 * Elise: Oh!
 * Iago: Well, well... look who's still alive! You're just full of surprises, Avatar.
 * Avatar: I'm through playing games, Iago. Let's just do this.
 * Iago: Not so fast! Lady Elise, I'm here for you! Why don't you come over here, and I'll protect you.
 * Elise: Why would I ever listen to YOU! You tried to make Xander and Leo fight Avatar! And you've tried to kill him/her, like, five times already!
 * Avatar: Save your breath, Elise. This guy never listens to reason. He doesn't care about right or wrong. He's just looking out for himself. I think it's time we taught him a lesson he'll never forget.
 * Iago: Ooh, such big words. Hoshidan prince/princess! But you are right... I don't care about what's right or wrong. That's why I always get my way. I'm willing to do what's necessary. Like THIS!
 * Azura: AHHH!
 * Avatar: Takumi! What are you doing?
 * Takumi (possessed): Die die die die die...
 * Azura: Urk... you're hurting me! Why...
 * Avatar: What's wrong with you? Stop hurting her!
 * Iago: *sigh* I just knew this would be too much for your feeble mind to understand... And I need you to comprehend the totality of your defeat. Otherwise I can't properly enjoy myself, you see? Very well, let me explain. Prince Takumi has been on our side all along! Thanks to him, I've known your whereabouts every step of the way.
 * Avatar: You're lying. How could that be possible? Takumi, tell me this is a joke!
 * Iago: Bwahaha! How does it feel? Being stabbed in the back again and again? And to think of all that time you spent looking for poor little Takumi...
 * Avatar: There's no way Takumi would betray us of his own free will. He must still be possessed!
 * Iago: Oh, please Of course he's possessed. But the spell wouldn't work without a kernel of dissatisfaction in his soul. He's always felt like an afterthought in the royal family. He has quite the inferiority complex. He desperately wants to prove himself. That's how he survived. His hatred kept him going so he could deceive you all! Now it's his turn to shine. Mwahahaha! He's deliciously evil, is he not? Better hurry up and kill him... before he kills Azura!
 * Avatar: There's got to be a better way... Takumi, listen! What happened in the Bottomless Canyon? What made you this way?
 * Takumi: Nnngh...
 * Azura: I can fix this... Just need to sing my song...
 * Azura: Aieeee!
 * Avatar: Azura!
 * Iago: Oh, I'm glad I'm getting to see this all in person for once. It's quite a show! I wonder how it will end...
 * Avatar: Takumi... you've got to listen to me.
 * Iago: Are you really just going to let him kill Azura like this? What are you waiting for? Kill Takumi! And then see how Ryoma reacts. Oh ho ho!
 * Avatar: I believe in you, Takumi. I know the real you is still in there.
 * Takumi: Nnngh... Brother/Sister...
 * Iago: What?!
 * Azura: Now's my chance... You are the ocean's gray waves...
 * Iago: No! Shut up!
 * Sakura: Haaah!
 * Iago: Gwaahhh...
 * Sakura: I w-won't let you interrupt her!
 * Avatar: Sakura! Thank you!
 * Iago: You will pay for that bit of sass, young lady. I didn't want ot get my hands dirty, but I suppose it can't be avoided.
 * Sakura: Eeeee!
 * Avatar: Leave her out of this, Iago!
 * Takumi: *cough* *cough* It's OK, everyone...
 * Takumi: I'm myself again. Thank you, Azura.
 * Avatar: Yes! I knew you'd snap out of it!
 * Takumi: Thank you for believing in me, Avatar.
 * Avatar: Of course.
 * Iago: What just happened?
 * Takumi: I just woke up for good. That's what happened. You were able to exploit some of my deepest fears and flaws, but that's over. My brothers and sisters need me, and I won't let them down. I'm a proud prince of Hoshido and from now on I will live up to the title!
 * Iago: How disappointing.
 * Avatar: This is it for you, Iago. You're on the wrong side of history. Peace is coming, and you can't stand in its way any longer. WE WILL GRIND YOU TO DUST!
