The double doors are pushed open and in walks Sobek, his two technicians holding the doors for him. The rest of the followers then follow him into the training facility, walking in 2 single file lines, the two technicians closing the doors behind them all and then standing watch outside the doors. Sobek walks over to a practice ring and then up it's steel steps. He walks up the stairs at his own pace and then out across the apron, stopping at the center, but still facing the inside of the ring. He then raises his hand and waves it forward twice, causing Cameron Miller and her Cameraman to walk up and climb onto the apron on either side of the Sobek. The both then grab the top rope and pull it down, and Sobek steps over it with ease. After reaching the center of the ring Sobek turns to face them and then nods. Both of them let go of the rope and move down to rejoin the two janitors and the bearded technician.
"Alexander The Great appears to have his ssssights set very high. Just as high as high assss mine. His arsenal is readied and lethal like ourssss. And his warcry as loud and intimidating as the Ssssavior who standssss before you." Sobek pauses taking time to snap the fingers on his right hand before crossing his arms and taking a step back. The two janitors go into motion, moving over to the side of the ring. The first one lifts the apron up, and the second kneels down and reaches in for something.
"And I feel the need to commend Alexander for hissss knowledge and wisdom. For he too realizessss that through the course of history, ssssize has never mattered when it comessss to war." The second janitor then pulls a ladder out from under the ring and the first lets go of the apron to help lift the ladder. The two Janitors then work together to push the ladder into the ring as Sobek stands there with his hands folded behind his back.
"Mere size and physical largeness can be easily overcome by simple combinationssss of intelligence, agility, speed and other minor thingsss." Sobek then turns and nods to the two janitors who then roll into the ring and lift the ladder up, setting it up in the center of the ring where Sobek originally stood. They then move back down to the floor and stand in their original positions.
"And although ssssize may not give you an advantage on a level playing field, when the terrain issss different and the environment issss unique. That is a different sssstory." Sobek then moves around and puts his arms on either side of the ladder and then pulls himself up so that he is standing on the first step.
"Certain situationssss may require a larger height. Perhapssss if there is a flood on the battlefield and a low hanging branch is all there is to grab before being swept away into the rushing riverssss." Sobek then pulls himself up another step, his head already level with the top of the ladder.
"Or maybe a collapse in your foundation, and the floor fallssss out beneath you, the only way to stop from falling issss a rope overhead, that issss out of reach for average height men." He then pulls himself up another step, now towering over the top of the 5 step, 10-foot tall ladder.
"Or if your combatant issss known for a leaping aerial attack, the height would prevent thissss from happening." Sobek then pulls himself up onto the fourth step and turns around and sits atop the ladder.
"Although unlikely and poor examplessss, you understand my reasoning. Height has it's advantagessss. And in this case..." Sobek looks up as if the title is hanging above his head.
"It could be the deciding factor." Sobek then turns back around as if he's going to climb higher and speaks again.
"Don't get me wrong. I will not make the mistake that sssso many have before, Alexander. I will not underestimate you, not for a ssssecond!" Sobek then pulls himself up to the fifth and final step and puts one of his arms out to hold his balance atop the ladder.
"I just want you prepared for a battle where the key to victory is how high one can reach... For I am Ssssobek, and no reach is greater than mine!" Sobek then reaches with his free hand up to where a title would be and the light of the ceiling above him grows brighter and brighter, and the scene fades into the light.
