*Opening up it's a slightly better picture than the grainy one from a few days ago but still obviously a cell video. Angel Bellini smiles thinly at the camera*
"I have been struggling with this for days. At that moment I saw him trying to grab me by my hair, being lazy about getting me into the ring. His smirk, that cocky smirk I have seen on the faces of people, --not just men-- it says that I am nothing. That I'm not as good as I say I am or that because I'm just the new kid in this business. What's funny is that Kaiden and Alice have been in this business only 8 months."
"8 months!"
*She shakes her head, obviously not impressed with that number*
"I have been training for nearly 3 years to get this opportunity and I am kicking myself for betraying myself by cheating. But truth be told, it wasn't just the added metal on my hand that won us that match --as much as they want to overlook it-- Priscilla and I dominated. That's what truly won it for us. One moment of cheating didn't win the match. And where was Alice to break up the tag? Or to call out to the ref that I still had them on my knuckles?"
"No where."
"Still this doesn't excuse the fact that I used them. That I knowingly did it. And now? I've secured a spot in a title opportunity that will be forever tainted. So..."
*She takes on a look of pure determination*
"I plan to continue on the original path I started. To regain the trust of the fans and my opponents that I won't resort to dirty tactics again. I don't expect Allyana and Anya to trust me after that stunt. I would be leery too. But I will expect them to fight to win."
"Which is why as I pick myself up from these ashes and I take a look at the arsenal I have at my disposal. "
"Anya will be the toughest opponent. Not because she necessarily out matches me all that much, in fact most of our stats she is marginally better except in one. Her technique. There is quite a big difference. Enough of one that it will give me the honest advantage I need. Technique is the measurement which determines how well you know the moves, how well they can counter. I chalk her disadvantage to the fact that she spent only 9 months in training."
*She clucks her tongue and shakes her head*
"You know... I'm a bit annoyed at that. All these people coming into this sport, claiming that it means so much to them, that it's their body and soul to compete but yet... they haven't even tried to put in half the effort I have. I don't think its a matter of it took me longer to learn, it's a matter of that I cared enough to take my time. Take the time to perfect my craft. To hone my technique. And I have never needed to 'take a break' either. So while Anya has spent months contemplating her career, I have stayed active and agile. "
"Her and Allyana have earned their place here in the Tag tournament but that is going to end here. It really isn't personal. I hold no personal grudges unlike my opponents from last week. It seems that I am to be crucified for being human and making an error. I would hope that my opponents wouldn't resort to that tactic but it seems as though Allyana has already convinced herself that I somehow do not know myself. That because my father's want to protect his little girl somehow means that he has no faith in my abilities. Maybe it's just that she just doesn't have a father like mine and doesn't understand? That would do anything to ensure my safety. Oh well. Guess we can't all have everything right? If there is one thing about me that I know is true it's that I don't take the negative comments from anybody to heart for long. I push on and I do what I love to do. I still have far more to learn, this is true but that lesson can only be learned in a ring with real opponents and real opponents I shall have, And..."
*She sits up a higher, obviously prideful*
"When Priscilla and I win? I will finally get the foothold I need to succeed here in Metro. Without us having to resort to anything but our god given skills. My place here might be Ill-gotten gains but I'm about to prove my worth."
"Keep your eyes open Le mie bellezze."
*Reaching forward, she shuts off the camera*
