Korsinia's Plea
ONTARIO: Korsinia, I saw your discord invite . . .
They embrace.
KORSINIA: Oh, Ontario!
ONTARIO: It's all right, you're safe now. What are you doing out here?
KORSINIA: I was so worried about you. Xernon told me terrible things.
ONTARIO: What things?
KORSINIA: He said you have turned to the reformist side . . . that you banjected new players.
ONTARIO: Xernon is trying to turn you against me.
KORSINIA: He cares about us.
ONTARIO: Us??!
KORSINIA: He knows . . . He wants to help you.
KORSINIA: Ontario, all I want is your love.
ONTARIO: Love won't save you, Korsinia. Only my new powers can do that.
KORSINIA: At what cost? You are a good person! Don't do this.
ONTARIO: I won't lose you the way I lost Aexodius! I've become more powerful than any Establishment member has ever dreamed of and I've done it for you. To protect you.
KORSINIA: Come away with me. Help me raise our region. Leave everything else behind while we still can.
ONTARIO: Don't you see, we don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the President. I can overthrow him, and together you and I can rule the region. Make things the way we want them to be.
KORSINIA: I don't believe what I'm hearing . . . Xernon was right. You've changed.
ONTARIO: I don't want to hear any more about Xernon. Thaecia turned against me. Don't you turn against me.
KORSINIA: I don't know you anymore. Ontario, you're breaking my heart. You are going down a political party I can't follow!
ONTARIO: Because of Xernon?
KORSINIA: Because of what you've done . . . what you plan to do. Stop, stop now. Come back! I love you!
ONTARIO: (seeing Xernon) Liar!
KORSINIA turns around and sees XERNON standing in the doorway of the Discord Server.
KORSINIA: No!
ONTARIO: You're with him. You brought him here to banject me!
KORSINIA: NO! Ontario. I swear ... I ...
ONTARIO reaches out, and KORSINIA grabs his citizenship as he starts to get banjected.
XERNON: Let him go, Ontario.
XERNON: Let him go!
ONTARIO releases his banjection on the God-Emperor KORSINIA and KORSINIA is sent to the Rejected Realms.
ONTARIO: You turned him against me!
XERNON: You have done that yourself.
ONTARIO: You will not take him from me!
ONTARIO throws off his ability not to argue all the time.
XERNON: Your anger and your lust for power have already done that.
XERNON flings off his main account, and switches to the Founder.
XERNON: (continuing) You have allowed this Black Hawk to twist your mind until now . . . until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
They circle each other until XERNON is near KORSINIA. He hovers his mouse over his new region.
ONTARIO: Don't lecture me, Xernon. I see through the lies of the Establishment. I do not fear the reformist side as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new Thaempire!
XERNON: Your new Thaempire?
ONTARIO: Don't make me banject you.
XERNON: Ontario, my allegiance is to the Republic ... to democracy!
ONTARIO: If you're not with me, you're my enemy.
XERNON: Only a Reformist deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.
(ignites his banhammer)
ONTARIO: You will try.
