“A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.” - Jack Dempsey
[/i]Yukio Blaze has been through all kinds of scenarios, matches, and more importantly, he has seen his fair share of matches where the young guy is bound to win. Immune, Josh, and so many others has Yukio faced and could not overcome. On numerous occasions did he face these type of men, but yet again its another young up and comer by the name of Possessed Child. He has already accomplished so much in the WFWF by holding the X-Breed Title and winning a FDS contract. Its Yukio's destiny to face another young gun, but will he be able to overcome him and the other obstacles that are facing him ? [/b][/color]
The night streets of Paris are unlike of them in the United States. In the US, you have to survive to just walk around the corner to get a gallon of milk. You have to be weary of your surrounding because you will never know when your life will be taken away from you. Now here in Paris, you have order and justice running the streets, unlike the carnage and mayhem in the US. Its just so different. You have couples walking the streets at midnight hugging, kissing, and embracing each other with the whole world in front of their eyes. The police officers dont carry weapons on the streets, instead they have batons and whistles. The US used to have them, until recklessness came around and over took the streets. The sidewalks are cleaned of trash and appear to be cleaned each night with water trucks washing off the pavement. The stars are very bright tonight. They bounce off the freshly watered streets and the stars gleam off them like lightning bugs in the summer sky and frankly, the Paris city park is very gorgeous tonight. Children with their parents are playing tag with flashlights, couples are sitting under the trees looking to the stars, and even the local violin bands are playing classical love type of sounds. Sitting on the ledge of the round fountain in the center of the park is Yukio Blaze looking around at the people that he sees and the buildings that surround him.

This is is very different from home, but then it feels like home at the same time. The cultures are very different, but I somehow like it here. Maybe its the food or the people or the history behind this place, but I do enjoy it. I just wish that Jesse and Jolie would have been able to check this place out with me, but then I can sense that they are looking down at me and seeing that I like this place.
Paris, what a town amongst towns. Its just so different from America and I really cant see why our beloved president hates this place. At least I can say that I didnt vote for that moron. What the hell are Freedom Fries anyways. It just puzzles me and bugs the piss out of me at the same time. Its also something to just walk around here at nights at midnight to see all of the people that are out and also seeing the Paris police patrol this whole damn city. It amazes me beyond belief. I wish I could stay here for longer, but I just cant. I will more than likely not see this place again for a long time and until I leave here, I'm going to make the best of it and if that means whooping some ass in the process. Than so be it.
Yukio reaches into his black racing jacket and pulls out a small personal type of notebook that looks very worn and he also pulls out a few American coins, A penny, dime, nickel, quarter, and a very new gold dollar. He places the coins on his lap and he opens up the notepad and flips it until he reaches the page that has certain things written on it.
Lets see, I've had the finest bottle of champagne you can buy in this city and drank it with a very fine soap, salad, and bread combo today. I got completely drunk last night at some cafe around here that serves the best French style Irish Coffee, and I've made a fool of myself by cussing out some Canadians that were visiting here and all I have to remember this is by her making these notes to reflect why I need to give this all up, but I just cant stop. The beast has overcome me once again and I'm in fear that I cant stop all of this, but more importantly is I'm afraid that I'm going to do something tonight that its going to hurt me, him, and her in the process and possibly, just possibly hurt Possessed Child in the process. I just need to stop.
Conscience
I just have that feeling that something very wrong will go down and I will say in the end that I could have prevented it, but I dont know. Please Jesse with all your might, stop me from being the demon from which I used to be.
Yukio closes the notepad and then places the coins on top of it, while looking at each one as if he is contemplating something.
I know exactly what you are planning to do Jeff. It makes sense to me, but not to others. It doesnt bother me that you are using this analogy, but its very different, but you just need to stop[/b][/i]
It is different, but I think the job can be done in the right way, if its done correctly. That or I'm just going to get so sh*t faced later that I will forget it all.
Is that so. You think that you can have one drink and it makes you feel better, when all its really doing is destroying everything and everyone around you. Its not just about you anymore. [/b][/i]
Its no different from last week when I was a little buzzed and still overcame Dean. How could Child be anymore different. Is it because he is prepared for me to be drunk or could it possibly be that I know him very well and he just doesnt stand a chance. I made who his character is and if there was me, then he would be in some second rate company being a curtain jerker.
Yukio flips the penny into the fountain and it sinks right into the bottom.
No Jeff, you just can see what you are causing can you. Its just so damn blind to your drunken perspective.[/b][/i]
Oh yeah, I didnt see you coming last week when I did get it done. Yeah, you may have been bitching at me to stop, but I didnt. You seen the outcome. I couldnt have been better.
Yukio flips the coin and it lands right in the water, sinking right next to the penny. Yukio picks up the dime and rubs on it.
You now what, I brought Jesse because I thought she could change you once again, but it didnt do any good. I'm just going to let you die early. I just cant get through to you.[/b][/i]
Yeah, you did go and bring Jesse in. It caused me to feel some difference, but not enough to stop now. I frankly dont care how long I can last now because I know I can still go along with the best, strongest, fastest, and youngest. Possessed Child will be proof of that. I'll show you and all of the others because thats what I do best.
Yukio fiddles with the coin and just tosses the coin into the water and it lands over by the many other French coins instead of the ones that he previously tossed in. Yukio then picks up the quarter.
The both of you, just stop it now. I cant stand to hear all of this mess going down. Dan, you know that he will stop this one day because its a phase, but if you look at things, you were the reason for him to start this back up and you Jeff were responsible because you have always seemed to take things the hard way when the ball isnt in your court. So what, just center on all of these things and turn them into something that both sides can confirm on. Embrace the good side that you have and the bad side. Turn them into a energy that can be all around.[/b][/i]
Jesse baby, I just cant. No matter what happens I just can do it. I've tried and tried, but nothing happens. The alcohol is the only force that seems to center me. I know its killing me, but its also doing some good.
Yukio then flips the quarter into the fountain and it sinks heads up. Is that a good sign or a very bad sign ?
So it all comes down to you Jeff. You heard my side and Jesse's side. You need to just do what is best and for the good. The alcohol isnt it, you need to just embrace yourself. You have done all kinds of good over the years and just continue it without going into the gutter and becoming nothing.[/b][/i]
I know that you will always feel that way, The guys that still stand after something like this is still a true champion, even if they didnt win. The guys who made the Louve, Effel tower, and so much more are the true champions. Thats what I am, is a true champion because I still get up after the night. Possessed Child is the best young guy and I'm going to expand on it, but I will not promise that I can change over night. He is in the path of me and I just cant be responsible if I hurt him in a bad way. I can only wait until the match happens and go on from there.
Yukio places the notepad back into his pocket and gets up from the fountain. Yukio starts to walk and he flips the gold coin from his shoulder and instead of it hitting the water, it lands right where he was setting and as he walks out into the night, the Effel tower is right in front of him behind a full moon. The time is right for a fight and the real champion will walk out ahead of it all.
Yukio is one of very few men I can think of that has what it takes to have the whole world in his hands and he is the type to that can lose it all in the snap of a finger. I've come in and tried to stop him, his wife has tried but cannot succeed. He is very stubborn in his way. He has been like that since I can remember, but I also know that there is someone else. This someone was possibly the second best thing to every happen to him. If she cannot stop him from this mess, then he is a very lost cause.The Blaze is well and alive and it will not go out for some time, for Yukio is the True Champion regardless if he wins or loses, but he can be changed and she will be the difference maker.[/b][/i]
“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” - Wilma Rudolph[/center]
