Switches

Scene 1, The Grand Plaza
Canon (from the crowd): I'd like to nominate... a nominee!
Irakura: It's a little late, but sure, I guess.
Canon: I nominate Monki Nan!
[The politicians murmur amongst themselves, and flashbacks are shown, where Monki Nan (Atsura in disguise) has attended many political meetings.]
Chief Soto: I'd like to nominate Eru Yagami.
Canon: *stands up* Thank You, Chief.
Irakura: Who are You people??
Canon: I am Eru Yagami.
Atsura: I am Monki Nan.
Irakura: Wait... *looks long at Canon* Eru, huh...

Scene 2, The Grand Plaza, One Week Later
Irakura: Hm... so... according to the will of the people... we have held... polls. To show who's the most popular thus far. In first, with 50% of the populace, is I, Irakura! Second is a tie, with Mana Taebii holding 20%, and Eru Yagami, with 20%. Monki and Kasupe each have 5%.
Eru: There's no way. These numbers are rigged. Atsura, er, Monki, can You tell the boys to run Our OWN poll?
Monki: Sure thing, ERU. *wink*

Scene 3, Canon's Apartment
Atsura: Here's the readings of our poll. Irakura, with 24%, Eru, with 33%, Mana, with 17%, Kasupe with a nice round 10%, and finally me, Monki, with 16%!
Canon: Irakura;s obviously rigged the numbers to show in his favor.
Everyone Else: *looks at Canon in wonder*
Canon: *looks up* What??
Koiki: You're gonnna be The Prince...!
Canon: Oh... Oh...! I am, aren't I? Well, I don't have any interest in that. I'm certain, from the way he's been staring at me, that Irakura knows who I am. Before he reveals that, and wipes out my legitimate base, i'm going to put my weight behind Monki. If I pull out before Irakura reveals secrets about me, i'll still be able to resurface, and aid You if needed.

Scene 4, The Grand Plaza
Eru: I'd like all of my supporters to vote for Monki Nan... i'll be removing myself from candidacy due to personal problems. I'll be supporting him, and I hope You will as well.
Monki: Thank You for Your support, Eru.

Scene 5, Canon's Apartment
Canon: We've performed another poll. According to it's results, Monki is now in the lead, with 48%, Irakura, 27%, Mana, 12%, and Kasupe with 13%. … Congratulations Atsura, You're a very popular fellow now.
