Jin: Look at me, the new champion of North America and I can barely control my anger still. The blood that I split at Resurrection still haunts my mind everytime I try to sleep, did Young deserve the beating he got in such a short span of time? Did he deserve the blood that I caused all over his face? The anwser is yes he did, he deserved it for doubting me, for thinking that I was nothing..

Then, he slapped me, I don't know why he slapped me but something made me snap... I Awakened on him and the result was a new North American champion and the start of what could only be described as 'Oblivion's worst night yet'. Young even had the nerve to show his direspect even further by turning his back on me, that just increased my will to make him pay, to make him feel my wraith. Did he expect this to actually happen? I mean afterall, he viewed himself as such a great fighter but it still wasn't enough to put me away. The reason why he dominated me in that match was because I was too focused on my anger and not putting him away. You can compare our last two encounters, our first one I was too focused on finishing the match quickly and it cost me. The second was I was too focused on my anger to actually mount a useful offense but then I Awakened..

Seeing the look of pain on Young's face fascinated me, I didn't even think that I was the person that could have possibly been doing it. I realized that it was indeed my legs that were in contact with Young's body, the legs that was causing him pain that richoted throughout his soul. I felt my burning spirit urging me on to hurt him the best way that I knew how after all those years of fighting that I required, even after Young had explained how tough he was.. It didn't matter.

*Jin sighed and stared quietly at himself, his hands slowly had clenched into fists as he forced himself to control the raging anger that felt like exploding out of him.*

Jin: At this Fusion, I am facing a man that I have respect for doing what he does. He had enough guts to stand up to Oblivion, even enough to attack Evo even when the numbers are against him. He shows what he is made up of when pitted against his own stable mates, the man's name is in a common catchphrase 'Through hellfire and brimstone'. I think that means a person been through a lot to get to that point and he looks like he has been through much to get to this point in Mercury.

He stands a full foot taller than me, he's also the largest man in the Mercury roster I believe. He weighs much more than I ever did but it's all mostly muscle, bulky muscle while I have a more leaner frame and my muscles aren't as large. You can compare our arms a find that it takes two of my arms to compare to one of his, you can compare our voices and his booms like thunder over my own.

This man while large and muscular, is not the typical big man with muscles. He is actually very clever and a very loyal to his friends, his beliefs also are completely different from mine. he believes in something known as 'Entropy' while I am noting but Shinto, his body is pierced with his beliefs as well while my own body doesn't have a mark like it. His wrestling style is completely different from my own, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. This man despite his size was able to do a suicide dive, a move more commonly used by the smaller men, lighter men. He is infact the first big man that I've ever seen do a move like that, he is a constant innovater and breaker of sterotypes.

'Heh, true.. So true..'

Jin: This man is the largest opponent that I will ever face in Mercury, he's not like the others and his guts showed when he said that he will look in my eyes. Others have looked past me like I was nothing, this man is treating me like an equal much like I did with Inferno. Despite him having some years over me in experience, he knows exactly what I am capable of while I know that he breaks what the stereotypes think of what big men are. He could possibly go with me move to move if my speed doesn't get the better of him, his power easily outmatches my own like Youngs did but he is more stronger than Young could ever be.

Another reason why this man is to be feared is because he isn't afraid to fight all out, he showed this at Resurrection when he fought two of his life long friends in a grueling match that resulted in his partners injury. Brimstone is this man's name and it is often held with fear from his enemies if they ever angered him, his visage is easily could scare small children if he wanted it to. He is often looked beyond as nothing more than an average power wrestler, but I know that he can mix his styles when he wants to.

*Jin nodded slightly as he took the North American title out of his black traveling bag, he looked it over as he spoke.*

Jin: I always said it wasn't about the title, I stay true to that belief. This title isn't the best thing in the world, there are hundreds of gold belts out there but this belt is demanded with high respect from this company. This belt is often the stepping stone for many to greater things, but I don't need a belt to do this, I have my skills that I can use to progress myself even further. This belt is nothing but a status symbol to show who you are, it doesn't show the blood, sweat, and tears that others had put on it.

This match is not about me defending a belt, this match is about me trying to use my skills against a very unpredictable opponent. If I let this belt control me, I'll end up like Herb.. Depressed and broken when I lose it. I won't let myself walk that path no matter how important this belt makes me look, Young thought the same thing that this belt showed how great he was. It all lead to his downfall, I am not Robert Young and I will prove it this Fusion..

*Jin put the belt back in the traveling bag and left the bathroom as the scene slowly faded.*
