The video clicks on to show Ratman in front of a crudely put together investigation board. Ratman seems to be studying it closely while scratching furiously at his head. The rats scurry around his feet, completely surprised by Ratman’s sudden panic attack and Papercut appears to be running from shoulder to shoulder trying to get his attention. On the board are the faces of the many opponents Ratman must face in the Gatekeeper Battle Royal
Ratman: It just doesn’t make any sense! How could this happen? No one told me I was in a match at the biggest show of my career! Hoo boy Percival, you’ve really done it now.
Ratman jumps onto a small electric scooter and begins driving like a wild man through the sewer. He narrowly avoids hitting any of his small friends on his way to the sewer exit.
Ratman: We’re gonna be late for our plane papercut! We have no time to lose! Of all the times to not know of such an event why did it have to be this one!? I’ve never been so disappointed in myself for anything in my life!... Well there was that one time where I thought I had found a candy bar but it ended up being…
Ratman shakes his head then continues to speed off down the sewer.
Ratman: Now is not the time for stories. I might not even make it there! This is the chance of a lifetime and I may have thrown it away my dear friend papercut.
The camera appears to barely be able to keep up. It bobs as if someone is holding it.
Ratman: I can't even possibly talk about each opponent individually so I'll address them all as equals!
Papercut: *Squeak!*
Ratman: Oh yes, you're right. I forgot my manners. Hello fellow competitors! I am Percival Burque! The Ratman! At Night of Honor I will be one of the many competitors across the ring from you! I won't take it easy as this is the opportunity of a lifetime! My mischief will be rooting me on I'm sure! I hope you all give it your all as well so we may see who the true gatekeeper is!
Ratman then pauses, glances down, then over to Papercut.
Ratman: Did we open the gate at the end of the sewer today?
It is at this moment that Ratman collides with the metal bars at the gated entrance of the sewer. Ratman and Papercut fly off the scooter into the bars and flop to the ground. The camera behind slowly stops as whoever is holding it begins to loudly catch their breath in the microphone of the camera. They direct the camera at Ratman and zoom into his face showing the Ratman grimacing in pain.
Ratman: Oooo that smarts. Papercut are you okay?
Papercut: *Weak squeak...*
Ratman: We aren't going to be gatekeeper are we?
Papercut: *Squeak...*
Ratman begins to get up and unlocks the gate. He then lowers his hand which Papercut jumps into.
Ratman: Well Papercut, where there is a will, there is a way.
Ratman limps away past the gate as the man holding the camera begins to speak in a raspy voice.
??: Good luck Percy! I'm rootin' for yuh!!
The man turns the camera around revealing his aged dirty face and begins to mess with it while grumbling to himself.
??: Now how does that boy turn this damn thing off?
The camera feed ends after moments of shuffling.
