*The scene opens in a dark room, Mandy Banks stands in front of the camera with the only light coming from the shaking camera held by a spooked Greg. Mandy has a nervous look on her face as she raises the microphone and begins to speak*
Mandy: Mandy Banks here coming to you on the HWA YouTube channel at an undisclosed location. With me today is Maniac and well...he's not quite himself. He's...
*Mandy is suddenly cut off by the sound of someone going "Shhhh". The camera follows the noise and it leads to a corner where the source of the noise is coming from. Before Greg can shine the light of the camera on the shadowy corner the light goes out. Greg checks the camera and confirms that he is still recording and that everything seems to be working just fine, except the light. A laugh comes from the darkness and Greg points the camera at the shadows, seeing nothing at first but all of a sudden two red embers suddenly appear and both Greg and Mandy realize that those are not only a pair of eyes but the eyes of Maniac. After a few moments of uncertain silence Maniac speaks.*
Maniac: That was a cute story you told Matt, loved how you used some stupid Japanese legend to pump yourself up and make you think you stand any chance at all in the Asylum. You wanna talk about nightmares Matt? You claim that Ryujin is going to be MY worst nightmare? You are SADLY mistaken Matt if you truly believe that because the DreamMaster IS the nightmare, the boogeyman, the one that comes for you when you least expect it. When you think that you're completely safe and alone he'll be there waiting in the shadows to jump out, rip out your heart, and make you watch him eat it.
*You see the pair of eyes rise, indicating that Maniac has stood up. They then begin to move as Maniac paces around.*
Maniac: What makes you think that it's all going to crash around me Matt? You're so sure of yourself that you don't see the walls are crumbling in on you. Ever since I've come back I've not only been in your head but I've broken your reality, showing you that everything you've ever known has been a lie and the crumbling walls that's left of your shattered reality are coming down on you quicker than you realize but you don't see it because you've been consumed by vengeance. Do you feel it Matt? The poison that flows through your veins, the very same that's helped ignite that darkness you've recently discovered? Is it boiling your blood? Causing you to go crazy and want to to rip me limb from limb?
*A sadistic laugh comes from the darkness.*
Maniac: Before I came along Matt you were a shell, bottling up all that potential for what? And now, thanks to me the REAL Matt Miller is free but no matter what you've come to terms with nothing will change the fact that I will be the one walking out the Asylum while you burn in that casket. You wanna see who's darkness is worse Matt? I guarantee that you don't but I guess we'll find out come Art of War.
*Maniac laughs and when he speaks again you can once again hear two distinct voices talking at once. One is Maniacs and the other sounds like a growl, almost demonic.*
DreamMaster: See you in the Asylum Ryujin.
*As the scene fades to black all you see is the burning red eyes of the DreamMaster piercing through the camera.*
