Mera in Footage
(Ocean Master is close to killing Arthur until Cyborg displays a holographic footage of Orm's confession)
You killed her!
Ocean Master in Footage
I did.
Ocean Master
What is this?!
Ocean Master in Footage
I ran the sword through her myself as she mewled for peace. You can count yourself fortunate, bastard. At least our mother won't be the impediment to your life that she was to mine.
Atlantean Soldier
(footage plays again)
Orm killed our Queen?! We are betrayed! (the Atlanteans turn against Orm)
Ocean Master
No. Wait. This deception is their surface magic!
Mera
Liar! I was there when Orm boasted of the murder of our queen. It was as you see.
Ocean Master
I am your king. I did this for you!
Aquaman
(Arthur then punches Orm in the face, breaking half of his mask and bleeding his nose)
Is this the king you want, Atlanteans? A coward who lies to you? You need a light to guide you in the darkness, people of Atlantis. My people.
Mera
What are you doing?
Aquaman
Becoming a beacon. I was born of two worlds. Atlantean by birth. Human by instinct. Join me and we will bridge those worlds in peace.
