A long, drawn out sigh is what the video starts with. Then a word.
Fujiko Mine: Revenge?
The inflection of the voice of the Queen of Queens champion sounds like she says it with confusion.
Blinders are taken off the lens, and it is revealed that the subject, Fujiko Mine, has a small grey towel over her head, while gym equipment litters the background. She reaches up with her right hand and rubs the towel around a little before moving it down to her shoulders.
Fujiko Mine: Revenge for what, Amber?
A cheeky smile crosses her face.
Fujiko Mine: Revenge for your inability to close out a match? Revenge for you having to sit in the back, salty, as I won Reinas Tres?
She cannot stop the smile from growing wider.
Fujiko Mine: Or is it revenge for the fact that you just got beat by the Apex Goddess, and you couldn’t admit that you just weren’t good enough?
She offers up nothing more than a shrug as she takes a step towards the camera.
Fujiko Mine: Now, it is true that I have recently lost the FGA Pride championship to my tag team partner, Izzy Anders.
She looks away from the camera for a moment, the memory of the match taking over her visual senses and distracting her. She exhales slowly, then refocuses her eyes on the lens.
Fujiko Mine: But don’t think that you’ve managed to catch me at a weak point. Don’t think that I’m vulnerable now, Amber. You might think that this is the perfect time for you to strike. But you couldn’t be more wrong.
She begins to move off camera to the left. The camera follows, until she shares the screen with the massive XENA. The blonde amazon has the Queen of Queens championship in her grasp, title plate facing front to present it to the camera.
Fujiko Mine: Go back and listen to what I said when I faced Vi Malkov for this belt.
She references it with a point.
Fujiko Mine: I said it was my goal to hold onto this until I was able to surpass her, and I don’t intend to fail in that regard.
She bows her head slightly.
Fujiko Mine: I commend you for being so driven by your misguided desire for ‘revenge’ that you would make yourself compete twice in the same night. It’s what stops me from looking at you with disgust completely. I will show you respect for that, Amber. But I ask again.
She gives an incredulous look.
Fujiko Mine: Why is it being talked about that you wished for this match out of a sense of revenge? Because you believed that this belongs to you? You believe that this…
She references it again.
Fujiko Mine: Should’ve always have been yours?
She exchanges that look with one of reservation.
Fujiko Mine: Perhaps you have been traveling back to that night, replaying the end of that match in your head over and over again. How you thought you were closing in on victory, only to get caught in what used to be called “The Lucky Shot.” You woke up a little bit later, coming to find that the match did not end in your favor.
Fujiko can only offer up a shrug.
Fujiko Mine: Perhaps you consider it a fluke. That if you were to get a second chance, the result would change as time does. That you would prove that this championship should have always have been yours.
The Apex Goddess exhales slowly.
Fujiko Mine: You will find, Amber...that while I respect your efforts, I don’t much care for your wants or desires. They are overridden by my own. My desire to remain the Queen of Queens overshadows your desire to beat me. Your desires are outclassed, outmatched, and outwitted.
Fujiko turns towards XENA and the championship, and carefully removes it from her possession. She places it over her right shoulder, and approaches the camera.
Fujiko Mine: So consider your prayers heard, but not answered. Your pleas were indeed listened to, Amber Torres. But I have seen fit to deny you your fancies. And so, you will take up a sword against the Apex Goddess, seeming fit to TAKE what you believe should be yours.
An unnerving smile crosses her face.
Fujiko Mine: And I will serve you with “The Bliss.” And it will be as it was the last time we faced each other.
You will be on your back, unconscious. You will bend your knee to the Queen of Queens, and understand that you cannot stand up to defy your goddess. She will strike you down without restraint.
She takes a moment to raise up the Queen of Queens championship a little, showing it off to the camera.
Fujiko Mine: It is my will that this stays in my possession, Amber Torres. As you will learn, my will...be done.
With a dismissive nod, Fujiko walks off, stage left. Xena grins a toothy grin before exiting the scene herself. The GZWA logo comes up…
...then fade.
