The video starts with the simple selfie angle. Matt Knox is seated in his hotel room, quarantine bunker, and prison. He has a cigarette between his lips. His eyes spark to life as he focuses his gaze into the camera. The cherry on the end of the Camel non-filter burns bright as he takes a slow drag, before removing it from his mouth pinched between thumb and forefinger. He motions to the camera with it pointedly as he speaks
"I have never picked a fight on the internet before. Must make you a special kind of prick, Alexander. And, even after I had logged off to enjoy the Baltimore drear...well, you kept goin. Picked a fight with the Fox boy, and the resident spunky rookie. Adrienne Levi."He brought the cigarette back to his lips and took another long satisfying drag, exhaling smoke off to one side. He eyes the toxic plume a moment before returning his gaze to the camera"So, here I am to amend my challenge. Me, and the rookie sensation Adrienne Levi versus you, and whoever you can get to stomach you for a debut loss"
He leans in, flicking ash at the camera, at Alex."Think on it. Let me know, prick"

The scene opens on a plain, dark-blue backdrop. Standing in the foreground is a man dressed in a dark blue suit and white shirt, bearing the look of one in his late thirties. With his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed, the man who should be known by all as Steve Matthews begins to address the unseen audience.
"Just to be clear I'm no fan of Alex Winter, in fact quite the opposite. Yet right now I see an opportunity to fire some shots at Chaos 95, therefore Alex if you have the balls to accept the challenge laid down by Matt Knox, you have a partner in The Technical Master, Steve Matthews." Matthews takes a deep breath. "I'll keep this short and sweet. Matt, Adrienne, be warned and bare in mind when I fire my shots I'll not be missing." Matthews narrows his eyes even further. "As for you Alex, don't get comfortable because I agree with Matt regarding the fact you are clearly a prick and don't dare believe I won't pull the trigger on you if you give me the slightest possible reason."

Alex Winter had finally managed to get around to giving his answer. He already had the answer when he saw the challenge but he was going to give it when he was ready to join the party. He stood there, leaning against the breakfast bar with a glass of champagne with some fruit in. He was dressed in a maroon check tailored three piece suit, no expenses spared.
"As you can see I'm a sophisticated man, I have fruit in my champagne because I'm not a savage like you Carnage folk clearly. Look at me, tailored suit and everything, even the best hair products but I'm not thirty percent hairspray, I'm a one hundred percent ASSHOLE!!!" Winter sipped on his champagne. "Knox you Edgar Allan Poe rip off, of course I accept your challenge. Of course I was picking fights with you Carnage animals, I'm the hunter and you are all the prey as far as I'm concerned." Alex once again sips his champagne after given an egotistical smirk. "As for Adri, the poor little woman getting offended after a compliment, feel free to try call wolf with your sexual harassment claims. I felt like you needed the charity of me calling you beautiful after all I can definitely do better and have anyone I want. So it'd be good to kick your teeth down your throat along with the Brandon Lee wannabe." Shaking his head, Alex places his champagne on the breakfast bar and stands up straightening himself out. "So, Matt, Adri, I obviously accept the challenge and it doesn't even matter whose on my side, they're gonna look one hundred percent better teaming with me. Which brings me to Steve Matthews, the matted haired guy who says I have a partner in him, that's cool I guess. Just don't get in my way or I'll drop you just as quick as I drop anyone to get what I want. I will win, one way or another. See you at Chaos 95 where this so called PRICK, will get the W!!!"
A fourth and final video reply. Adrienne had been preparing for her flight to Baltimore when this had started making its way through the official channels. Her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail and she had on a Doritos shirt. She felt Cool Ranch today. Hastily, she replied via a quick video.
"Matt Knox, I'm honored you thought of me for this. I guess we have some things to go over."
She paused, thinking about the opposition.
"I'm trying my best to not divide my attention. Zane King, he's ... pretty scary. But ... Alex Winters, Steve Matthews, you two will have a lot of work to do yourselves. I can respect a commitment to excellence by Matthews. And even to the clear athletic ability Alex exhibits if the tapes tell me anything. The rest..."
Adrienne shrugged as she tossed a travel toothbrush into her bag. Steve Matthews was like every premier athlete with a chip on his shoulder. And Alex Winters seemed one of those types that carried roofies in his pocket. "Matt, let's do this."
