The video package opens, with a standard black screen paired with a quite in white text.
“You’ve got enemies? Good, that means you actually stood up for something.” – Eminem
PWS going on tour meant a lot of things for the duo of Cleo Phillips and Z-Money. Z had never left New York, save a weekend or two in New Jersey, but that hardly counts. Cleo had spent a few summers with a cousin from Pennsylvania but beyond that she hadn’t seen much outside New York herself. Detroit was a city completely foreign to them, but they came ready to embrace it.
The scene opens, with the Crusin With Cleo’ tour bus parked in a parking lot. As focus shifts to the doors, they swing open and Z-Money steps out dancing and singing with a big smile on his face.
Z-Money: ….I said, fish don’t fry in the kitchen, beans don’t burn on the grill. Took a whole lot of trying, just to get up that hill…
Suddenly the cameras catch Cleo, who’s seated atop the bus. she’s wearing a Detroit Pistons ballcap, an Eminem t-shirt and her usual jeans. Over her shoulder is of course the United Championship.
Cleo: Now we’re up in the big leagues, getting our turn at bat. As long as we live, it’s you and me baby. There ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Cleo hops down, and her and Z continue the song together, just looking like a couple friends having fun.
Cleo and Z: We’ll we’re moving on up….to the Eastside, to a deluxe apartment in the sky, moving on up, to the Eastside, we finally got a piece of the pie.
Z-Money: ITS THE BIG ONE WEEZY!!
As Z clutches his chest, he trust falls into Cleos arms, and he and Cleo share a laugh together, clearly having good time, before Cleo leans back against the bus, ready to speak her mind.
Cleo: How ya’ll doing out there? I hope all is well. As you can see, Z and myself are having the time of our lives on this tour. Getting to see things we never have. Have experiences we never have..
Z-Money: All I can think about is that damn Cheesesteak. We gotta go back to Philly soon!
Cleo laughs and rolls her eyes.
Cleo: I’m sure we will. PWS is bound to go back. I'd love to see the West Coast to be honest. Anyway, moving along, I just want to say a few words to Nick Madison. I want to thank you. If I’m the last person to ever win a championship from you, the last person to ever face Nick Madison as a champion. Then it was an honor and a privilege. I intend to hold this championship for as long as possible and will do all I can to hold it with the honor and respect a real champion should have. You want to be with your kid, and Z and I both truly appreciate that. Neither of us knew our fathers so to see someone like yourself hanging it up so you can have more time with your kid? More power to you sir. Be the amazing father I know you are. I’ll handle this championship from here.
Both her and Z pound their chest twice, in a show of respect.
Cleo: Now, let’s get down to business shall we? Seems I’m having a meeting with some old friends come Riot. The Commonwealth know how much I hate ANTITHESIS, and they’ve chosen me to soften those boys up before the big championship match. My old buddy Shawn Young will be by my side, so it really will be like the good ol’ days of just a few months ago.
Z-Money: Well, except you have me now and not Big Mo’.
Cleo: Fair, and they have Lyons now.
Z-Money: Didn’t his father train you?
Cleo: He did, I’m a product of the Lyons Den. The school his father Zachary runs with his uncle Ray. His other uncle Vincent Sr. started it in the early 2000s.
Z-Money: Interesting.
Cleo: Yeah, I guess they got some family drama between Alex and his father but honestly it’s none of my business. The Lyons Brothers, and their head trainer Keevee Kaiser were nothing but great to me.
Z-Money: I hear that Kaiser fellow is good with the creative side of things.
Cleo: He does, he helps talent find their personality and ways to make it shine.
Z-Money: Maybe Alex is jealous he didn’t get an invite.
Cleo laughs.
Cleo: Oh he totally is. I mean their family drama is none of my business. But I do know there’s more to the story than Alex is telling. In any case, what IS my business is Riot, and my match against him and Tyson Sykes.
Cleo voice turns into a more serious one.
Cleo: Remember me boys? I’m the bitch that was your worst nightmare this past summer. I know you aren’t too familiar Alex, so you better ask Dionysus just who the hell I am. Ask your partner Tyson Sykes who brought the fight to their front door. Ask Jonathan Sanders who gave him the hellacious fight that he only escaped from by the skin of his teeth. The answer is me, and you’re about to meet the bitch who made your boys life hell this past summer. You all realize you’re making MIKE HAWK look cool right?
Z-Money snorts, and snickers.
Cleo: I’ve been in the ring with Mike, and trust me he’s smarter than he appears. If Sanders isn’t careful and treats him like a joke it would be his biggest mistake and play right into Hawks hands.
Z-Money: Hawks have claws though…
Cleo stares blankly at Z for a moment.
Cleo: They’re called talons for one, and for two...just don’t.
Z smiles and shrugs.
Cleo: Now, by my side will be my old partner in war Shawn Young. The only person who had my back when I had my dealings with ANTITHESIS. I don’t got a big circle around here, but Shawn has always had my back and I know it won’t be any different this time. Plus, I’m bringing an old friend with me.
Z steps into the bus for a moment, and retrieves a baseball bat, the same one from the Sanders feud, still dented and stained with his blood.
Cleo: I know how you boys operate, and I know we might have to play a little dirty. That’s all good with me. I like playing dirty, so lets really get down into it. Just understand, your facing a new and improved Cleo Phillips. One that dethroned the legendary Nick Madison to become United Champion. Team Cleo is movin’ on up in the world, and there is no stopping this bus. It’s pushing straight past the two of you and onto Miles Kasey.
Cleo looks down for a moment at her championship, rubbing it for a moment quietly.
Cleo: I haven’t forgot you Milo. It’s just not quite time for our dance yet. But I want you to watch. Watch what I do to those ANTITHESIS boys, because you're next. This championship belongs to Team Cleo, and it’s not going anywhere for a long time. I trained with the Lyons Den, and you trained with Wolfslair. At Dishonored, we’ll see if the wolf or the lion reigns supreme. If I can guarantee one thing, it’s that I am going to SET. IT. OFF.
Z-Money: See you soon playas.
Cleo and Z head back onto the bus, and after the doors close behind them, the scene comes to a close.
