Should have evacuated

(Screeching sounds of stone dragged on stone are heard as the video turns on in the ashy ruins of Pompeii. Samhain is pulling his giant rock as he walks around SHADOJIMA, while Shinobu Tsutsumi watches them with a smile from her seat on the plaster ashes of a dog. SHADOJIMA appears in a worse, yet less feral, mood than usual, now that he is so far away from the regular dump of Razor. Seeing as her pet can't be energized by Razor's familiar smell, she attempts to please herself and her beasts with a sight of the ashy remains of people and animals all around them in ruins.)
Shinobu: Ah, Pompeii, don't you two love it, my dear kaiju? It is such a display that blends human arrogance, ignorance, and fragility against the overwhelming force of nature. Yes, this place showcases those who did not evacuate Pompeii before a volcano wiped out all those who remained. Sometimes I marvel thinking of the fools and the poor who chose to stay here to meet this fate. Many might wonder how anyone would have been so hopeless to have stuck around to face a volcanic explosion, but are those past Pompeians that different from the people of Razor today?
(Shinobu smiles as her monsters loom over the ashy plain.)
Shinobu: The people of Razor are aware of my new alliance and, therefore, should be aware that being in Razor puts them all in unfathomable danger. Yet not only do they remain in this company, but now Wrestle Italia has chosen to insert themselves where my monsters call home and this business drags us all the way to Italy for their petty partnership feud. Let it be known that we do not care about what is going on between Razor and Italia, just as the volcano didn't care about the relationships between the leftover citizens of Pompeii. Everyone is in danger whilst my monsters walk this earth. Strike 2 Kill, the Heroes for Hire members, are simply our first targets, and their latest beatdown was just a preview.
(Something in Samhain stirs as he twitches over what was just said. SHADOJIMA looks at a shrugging Shinobu, who continues talking.)
Shinobu: I don't know Gregory Murphy well, but I actually have knowledge of Mark Storm and the faction that he manages. After all, years ago I watched my older sister debut defeating Storm and she later even got one over on half of what must be a long line of tag teams this faction incorporates. Storm? He's a legend. But these random tag teams he allows to join Heroes for Hire? They always seem to have untapped potential in comparison. S2K has achieved nothing here in all the months they've been around, simply losing tournament matches and being in Storm's shadow. And it's all Gregory Murphy's fault! It's clear he does nothing for his clients. If he did Storm wouldn't have taken so long to win a title here nor would he have lost it so fast. Storm is talented but a fool, the type to fight in weapon matches with just his fists! It was up to Gregory to be the brains who kept Storm in favourable matches here. And if he can't manage an easy client like Storm, he'll never be able to do a proper job for S2K. This is why he lost manager of the year to a raccoon. And before anyone mentions me, I had only managed two matches, it was a marvel that my skills got me nominated under such a short time at all.
(Samhain smashes his tombstone into the back of the skull of Pompeiian's remains. This causes SHADOJIMA to join the action as it begins kicking furiously at the remains in the ruins. As ash flies all around her, Shinobu finally recalls what has angered Samhain.)
Shinobu: As yes, Samhain you had history with Gregory and Storm here while under Sergei's failed leadership, didn't you? These heroes might feel comfortable because you didn't utterly destroy them back then, but that was all on Sergei, don't you worry. This time I will be here to direct you to create the destruction you desire. You have been saved from weakness and failure, unlike Murphy's clients who will never reach their full potential.
(This seems to register with Samhain as he stops to conserve his energy for the ring. Shinobu then looks at the camera, speaking to S2K.)
Shinobu: Unfortunately for you two, I only manage monsters, not pretty boy twinks that can't win a real fight and can't reach 400 pounds put together. Unlike Samhain, there is no salvation for you. You two can try to use your short arms to box with Godzilla and technical wrestle with forces of nature all you want, with all the meaningless skills and smarts you believe you have! But mankind is quickly reminded of how weak and fragile it is when faced with true power. My kaiju? They were born superior. I simply harness that power and train them to use their gifts to annihilate anyone we choose.
(The Tsutsumi family pet Kaiju SHADOJIMA approaches Shinobu and gets petted while Samhain watches with wonder and perhaps a desire for the same.)
Shinobu: Boys, your hero leader couldn't handle the martial arts of my family when my goody-two-shoes sister unleashed it; what can you hope to do against Shado, who was taught our martial arts at ten times the power and size? You Heroes for Hire should have evacuated as soon as you saw the Tsutsumi name with such a creature behind it! If you were true heroes you'd have shown Razor sometimes it's okay to run away from imminent doom! But like the residents of Pompeii, you will become a cautionary tale for generations to come.
(The video completes as SHADOJIMA lifts Shinobu onto its shoulders and takes her away as Samhain follows them, dragging stone through the ashes.)
