Kouza screams at him, "SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH! THIS IS AN INSULT!" The crowd murmurs in confusion, "King Cobra...!?" The fake king continues, "The man responsible for using dance powder and causing the current drought, Was me." Kouza yells again, "I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!!" Kouza draws his sword and charges at the fake king with a furious expression. "YOU SON OF A-" Page 14: Kouza swings his sword, tears streaming down his face. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA... ANY IDEA AT ALL, HOW THE PEOPLE OF DRIED UP TOWNS FELT AS THEY DIED!? THEY WEREN'T ANGRY NOR DID THEY RESENT YOU! THEY ALL DIED BELIEVING IN YOU TO THE VERY END!" He continues to yell at the fake king, "'It's not the King's fault...' 'The King is a wonderful man...' EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO LIE, IF YOU DON'T INSIST THAT YOU'RE INNOCENT, YOU'D BE DEFILING THE MEMORY OF ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO DIED BELIEVING YOU!" Suddenly, one of the fake Royal Guards aims a rifle and shoots Kouza. Page 15: Kouza is shot and falls backward with a cry of pain, "AGHHH!" The crowd screams in panic, "KOUZA!" Kouza tumbles off his horse. "LEADER!" He lies on the ground, bleeding heavily from his wound. He gasps, "THE ENTIRE COUNTRY... EVEN US REBELS... WE'VE ALL WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU'RE INNOCENT... THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR ALL ALONG!" The fake king grins wickedly and says, "Weeeeeeellp! I'd call that a wrap!"
