The trophies that fill the wall show off all Nika has accomplished so far. Spelling tournaments, maths quizzes, martial art competition. Not all of them first place but all of them special, they are all reminders of who she was. A young girl with the desire to excel in all that she did, a young girl who wanted greatness. The losses count just as much as the wins because they showed her that no matter how much practice you put in, you can always do better. She sits there staring at them with Roxy by her side, they hold hand in the silence and just stare at the achievements.

“I've always wanted to be the best at everything I've done, you know. I never wanted to be beaten by anyone, in anything. It didn't even have to be anything super competitive but my mind was always set to win. I had to get the top marks in classes, I had to finish exams and homework first. I had to be the one who skipped a belt in my martial arts training, I've always been competitive. I haven't always won and even in defeat I had to find a way to show I was good, so I learnt how to accept defeat in the politest way I could think so others would think good of me.” Nika explained.

The room is also filled with books from floor to ceiling, some old and some new. There is a great verity on offer, some are political, religious, philosophy, dreams, martial arts and biographies. It's truly a collection to be proud of.

“Whenever I lost a competition I'd always run over and congratulate my opponents, I'd congratulate on how well they performed and wished them well in the future. Inside myself, though, I was dying. I worked so hard in everything I have done and to finally get there and lose was devastating to me, I was young too so I didn't really know how to deal with a loss emotionally. So I used to come home after a loss and read, I thought to myself if the world I'm in isn't going well, I may as well travel to a far away place, sit with great men and women of the past, learn from masters and find peace within myself by reading how others have done it. For every trophy I have, there is a book to accompany it.”

Roxy takes Nika's hand and smiles, she leans in a rests her forehead against Nika's shoulder. Nika raises her hand, then strokes the back of Roxy's head.

“You've done so much with your life already, Nika. You've got gold medals, 1st place trophies, a PHD. You are an ex-solider for the Russian Military, you will never ever run out of money. My question is, what keeps you motivated? What is it that makes you get out of bed in the morning and train until your body gives out, to fight at the highest level where it leaves you wincing in pain for nights after? You could disappear and live a life of relaxation and comfort. Why do you still compete?” Quizzes Roxy.

“That is a question I can't really answer, I really can't. I've asked myself many times but yet I always wake up and train, I always push harder than I did the day before and I can't actually give a reason for it. I've narrowed it down to a couple of options but nothing concrete yet. 1st one being that I need some sort of validation on how good I can be, I need it to be recognised by people, I need to be recognised. 2nd would be that I love fighting, that deep down somewhere inside me there is an animal that I have to feed, that burns a fire inside me that pushes me to train. Maybe the only reason I'm nice is because I fight and feed that animal, I've never not fed it so I don't know and to be honest, I don't want to find out.”

Roxy looks up and stare into Nika's eyes, “ I don't believe that. I could never see you be anything but the kind, generous, loving person you are now. Yes, you are a dangerous person to be standing opposite against in the ring, but you never go out there to hurt people, that's not your intention. I've seen you in that ring, you say you didn't hold back against James but you did, I saw times when you could have ended it sooner but you didn't, you let the match continue. Why did you do that?”

“Believe me I didn't. James is just that good. You might have seen the openings but being in there and being hit by him clouds that vision. I can't see what you see and you can't see what I see, if I could have ended it sooner I would have but you are right when you say I don't want to hurt people, because I don't. If I can win and everyone walks away able to continue the next day then I have done my job correct, I know the aim of the game is to beat your opponent but I feel I can do that without causing lasting damage. Take Kevin Hawks, for example, I wanted to hurt him but when it came down to it, I couldn't. I promised to break his ankle but when given the opportunity I back out of doing so.--”

“-- See, that right there shows me there isn't a scary animal deep inside you that wants to hurt people, that right there shows me that you are a thoughtful, caring person. So that rules out that possibility. Would you like to hear why I think you do it?”

Nika nods, “Sure.”

“I think you do it because it is your purpose. Some people are born to be parents, some born to be great inventors, but you, you were born to be whatever you do. If you went into hockey, you'd be the best in that, if you went into boxing, you'd be the best in that. But you chose wrestling, you chose to fight for the fans, you chose to fight for what is right, to show all those children, women and men what hard work can do. You chose wrestling because you know that the best fighters are there in IBW, you chose wrestling because you know that you can make an impact on peoples' lives. You train every day, not for yourself, but for them. Sure winning means something to you but I've seen you look out into the crowd and I've seen the look on you face when you spot an overjoyed child screaming your name. Nika, you were born to make a difference and the best way for you to do that is become Global Champion. Mizo is just a speed bump in the road, he shouldn't have even been given this opportunity but he has. So this Friday I don't want you to worry about hurting him, because if the rumours and stories are true, you won't be facing a man who will play fair. He will be trying to hurt you and steal away your opportunity and must not let him do that. You must defeat Mizo.”
