Brandon's P.O.V:
Ugh...my head...
Wait, where am I?!
Wh-Why can't I move?!
???: "Wakey wakey sleepy head. Did you enjoy your nap?"
BRANDON: "Huh? Wh-Where am I?!"
???: "Believe it or not, you're still in the stadium. So many empty meeting rooms, y'know?"
BRANDON: "I don't believe you..."
???: "Fine, be that way."
BRANDON: "Shut up!"
???: "That's not very polite at all."
BRANDON: "Can you at least drop the voice changer, please?"
???: "No."
BRANDON: "Ugh...what do you want from me?"
???: "What do I want? It really isn't much at all, I want you to take a look at the screen in front of you. Look and see the headlines..."
BRANDON: "That's it?! You didn't need to tie me up for that! Play the stupid video."
???: "It's not stupid, it's serious."
BRANDON: "I don't care."
???: "Look, if you cooperate with me here, I'll let go. If you watch this video, I'll let you go. Do we have a deal?"
BRANDON: "What choice do I have...? Deal."
???: "Good boy."
Wait...this is from the contest! The last thing I remember was running to the control room to stop someone from ruining Nikki's performance.
BRANDON: "Don't tell me..."
???: "I got away with it."
BRANDON: "Nikki... Y-You embarrassed her in front of the whole world! How could you do something so heartless?!"
???: "I had a heart once, but it broke. You should know already who broke it."
BRANDON: "What are you talking about?! Nikki didn't do anything to you!"
???: "No, but you did."
BRANDON: "Me?! Don't take it out on Nikki!"
???: "I didn't do this because I wanted to. I did this because I HAD to."
BRANDON: "You didn't have to do anything you cruel vindictive son of-"
???: "Son of a diplomat?"
BRANDON: "...?! H-How did you know...th-that?"
???: "Does the name Nero ring a bell?"
BRANDON: "..."
???: "You know it, Robert."
BRANDON: "Nobody has called me that since..."
???: "Since I spared your life?"
BRANDON: "?!"
???: "I thought I granted you a second chance at life, but what did you do?
You destroyed my family.
You took the woman I loved.
You let your guard down for a split second and it cost you the chance to save her."BRANDON: "...Maxwell?"
???: "Don't call me that! I addressed you by your name now call me by mine!"
BRANDON: "Dante..."
???: "Correct."
BRANDON: "I thought you loved Nikki... Why would you do something like this to her?!"
???: "I didn't want to do it. I HAD to do it. For her to get her dreams crushed and for you to go missing? I destroyed this excuse for a contest."
BRANDON: "This was Trevor Chase's biggest project..."
???: "Forget Trevor Chase. My reasons for doing this run deeper than the ocean."
BRANDON: "It's...It's because you're jealous."
*PUNCH*
???: "I'm not jealous. I believe in the mantra 'An eye for an eye'. You ruined my life, so I ruined yours."
BRANDON: *COUGH* "I told you... I'm sorry I abandoned you in Miami!"
???: "Sorry won't restore my eye. If my vision of this world is darkened, then so will yours."
BRANDON: "I trusted you... Nikki trusted you!"
???: "SO WHAT?! ALL THAT I'VE FIGURED OUT IN THIS WORLD IS THAT YOU TAKE EVERYONE FROM ME!"
BRANDON: "YOUR FAMILY KILLED MY PARENTS!"
???: "They deserved it."
BRANDON: "I'LL KILL YOU!"
???: "You talk big, but you're not going anywhere tied like that."
BRANDON: "GRRRRRR!"
???: "That anger! Let it consume you! Get your revenge, Roberts!
When you awaken again, I want you to meet me on the WCD Rooftop. We're going to settle this once and for all!"BRANDON: "MAXWELL!!!!"
*WHACK*
???: "I told you already... Don't call me that."
