So here it was, the final chapter of such a great era of wrestling. This would be the last time that the world got to see Phoenix doing a promotion for her match. But more importantly, it would be the last time the world saw Phoenix doing a promotion on MSN. So that definitely meant that she was going to have to make sure she made it pretty good. It had been a pretty busy week for her, both inside and outside of wrestling. But she knew that there was a prize greater than any other at stake in this situation. Everyone had been saying it all week that they would give "whatever it takes" to win their match. It seemed the more that the match neared, the more that statement made sense. Phoenix had to give all it takes in this match due to the fact that the Women's Title on the line. But an added incentive in it was the fact that this was the last MSN match for her. The way she felt, even if the title was not on the line, she would still bring it all because she would never again have the chance to fight on the MSN circuit. She truly could not think of a better place than WGEF to end such a great era. Some companies, she knew she would not have been able to feel the same, but it definitely made a difference to be ending it all right in WGEF. And right here in WGEF, she could always say that she ended it off in a Women's Title match. It would just be so much better if she ended it off taking the title with her. She was going to put it all on the line because she knew she could definitely afford it. Plans had already been made to take it a bit easier after the match, so if she burned herself out just to win the match, she could heal from that before stepping back into the ring. The transition over to the Aimoo circuit was going to take a little time anyway, so she definitely knew she could use that time to rest up. She had been putting a lot into these past few weeks and was about to do the very same for Whatever It Takes. Her performances at pay per views were often better anyway, or at least she sure felt that they were. She was even willing to risk injury to tonight just to pull off a way. The match was important, and that just could not be stressed enough. As she had most likely stated before, this match was just like a debut match. No one wanted to lose their first match. No one wanted to lose their last match. She was not planning for this to be her last match, but on the MSN circuit, it would be. Therefore, winning was a must, losing was not an option.

x~. Saturday, February 14, 2009 - Valentine's Day

Here it was, Valentine's Day, the day that everyone was supposed to get all extra lovey dovey with candy and flowers and stuff. Where was Phoenix, at her home. She was upstairs in her room packing her bags to head for Milan, Italy. As she was packing her bags, Dimitri came walking up the steps and enter their room. He saw her packing and she seemed to really be into her packing, as strange as that may sound.

Dimitri In a rush?

She turned around looking at him. She then looked back at what she was doing and realized that she was packing like she was in a marathon. She slowed down a bit.

Phoenix Guess I am a bit anxious.

He pulled some flowers from behind him and handed them to her. Her mouth dropped as she grabbed the flowers and smelled them. She got up and hugged and kissed him.

Phoenix Thank you.

Dimitri Happy Valentine's Day. I love you baby.

Phoenix And I love you.

Dimitri So what you got planned for our first Valentine's Day together?

Phoenix sighed and kinda frowned.

Dimitri What? Something wrong?

Phoenix Yeah. We cannot celebrate Valentine's Day.

Dimitri No?

Phoenix I need to keep my mind clear for this match. This win is very important. After this, there are no more chances as far as being on MSN is concerned. I have to leave out with a bang. I have been kicking ass all over the circuit for years, and tonight marks the end of it all. So I want to make sure that my end matches my beginning. Plus, we would not have much time anyway. The flight over the Milan is going to take well over half a day so I have to get going.

Dimitri frowned a bit. He understood, but it was still pretty bad. She kissed him. She knew she could not really make him feel better about the matter, but that was just the business. He could really consider himself lucky she got to spend as much time as she did with him with the way her schedule was sometimes. If he had not taken his break from work, it would be even worse.

Phoenix You are going to come with me right?

Dimitri Yeah. I already got my bags packed.

x~. Saturday, February 14, 2009 - The Flight Over

We catch up with Phoenix and Dimitri again, this time already aboard her private jet that is set to take her on into Milan. Dimitri was still looking a bit down from earlier so Phoenix leaned over on him and started talking.

Phoenix I am sorry that this is probably the worst timing to be traveling, but they booked us overseas again.

Dimitri You know it is fine with me. I told you before, I am your biggest fan so I understand completely your position on this all. Plus, as far as you and me are concerned, everyday is our own personal Valentine's Day. We do not need some manmade holiday just to show our love for each other. We do that daily.

She kissed him. He had such a way with words.

Dimitri After you win tomorrow night, we can just celebrate on some exotic island. It will be better than anything anyone could have done on this day, plus you will have won more gold, so that is an added bonus right.

She nodded and just rested on him knowing that this was yet another long flight in store for her. But she did not mind. She was having fun in WGEF. She was getting exposure overseas now and that was a big thing for her. Now she had a chance to be overseas again and even win another title. Doing both at the same time just made it even better. She looked out the window of the plane visualizing what lied ahead of her. She thought about her career these past years and how much of a name she had made for herself on the MSN circuit. It just would not look too good to end it off with a loss. She was just not about to go for that. Hearing Paris say that Phoenix was not known by anyone was comedy to Phoenix's ears. Perhaps the people she knew did not know Phoenix, but in that case, they must not be too important to not know Phoenix. Every time she went into someone's company, they would tell her how big of an acquisition she was. Then after that, a lot of people get jealous of that and try to take her out. Then she would kick every ass that came before her and continue with her ongoing destruction. Speaking of hearing things, she had even heard of Teal calling her a Pryor wannabe. She truthfully laughed at statements like that. She did not want to be anyone but who she was and she was exactly that daily. She did resemble Bridgette a bit, she could not lie about that. But Phoenix remembered back when she first decided to alter her look a bit, back some four years ago, hardly anyone was in resemblance of her then. But she did not look at little small things like that. Good thing Teal did not know her right before her makeover she went through. She would have been called a Salazar wannabe then. Ironic right? But oh well, that was not important at this time. She closed her eyes to let her mind rest. She was going to need it as much as she needed her in-ring skills to get through this challenge.

x~. Sunday, February 15, 2009 - The Final Chapter

So finally the day had arrived. This day had been anticipated for quite some time now, partially anyway. Some people dreaded it due to the fact that they loved the MSN circuit. So many friendships had been built and a lot would probably end simply because of the closing of the circuit. However, Phoenix was prepared for the day. Since WGEF would indeed be continuing on, she was prepared for the move. People were worried about the difference in circuits, but Phoenix was not. Of course, that would sound like she just had every answer to every problem...like she was just the perfection of everything. But she just chose not to worry about things. Something like that, she had the solution to. She tried to have a great purpose behind everything that she did. As she stated to Paris before, she had been working so hard for months at a time to get herself prepared for these things. It was like a type of conditioning if you will. She conditioned herself for times where she had to put everything into a match given that her opponent would do the same. But now that hard work would prove to be beneficial to an entirely different type of situation. She was going to just continue with her same work ethic that had been carrying her over. She was more than certain that it would work be just fine to bring her success regardless of where they moved. As Phoenix's jet touched down in Milan, she unboarded the jet and walked over to where some sort of car was waiting for her. It was definitely not her style of a car, but she had to work with what she was given when going overseas. She sat in the back and still stared out the window still deep in thought. She had not spoken in quite some time.

Dimitri You ok babe?

She turned her attention to him and away from her thoughts for a minute.

Phoenix Of course, just thinking.

Dimitri I am sure I do not have to ask what about.

Phoenix Heh. The time is approaching quickly and I have to be ready. It is like a last opportunity type thing.

He held her close to him.

Dimitri You will do fine. You always do. Surely you did not let this one girl put any doubt into you.

Phoenix laughed.

Phoenix No way. It is really not about who my opponent is. I am more focused on my performance tonight. This circuit is all I have known for about four years now and today ends it all. I just want to make sure I end it off with a bang.

Dimitri You will....you will.

He looked out the window at some of the beautiful scenery in Milan.

Dimitri So where we headed?

Phoenix The arena.

Dimitri Already?

Phoenix Yes, not for the match. We still got a few hours for that, but I feel the need to be there. You can come join me later if you would like.

Dimitri Yeah, I think I better give you some alone time to make sure you have no distractions going into the match.

Phoenix You sure?

Dimitri Sure. I know how important this match is to you and I want to make sure you get the best results out of it.

He kissed her to reassure her that he was fine with her being alone.

Dimitri I can just go see what nice stuff I can find for you in Milan.

Phoenix For me?

She smiled all innocently.

Dimitri Yeah...it will be even better that you have no idea what you are getting.

By the time they wrapped up their conversation, the driver pulled up to the arena and let Phoenix out. She went in with her bags just in case she did not make it out in time to go to her hotel and come back. She figured she would probably just stay at the arena all day so she brought her stuff along with her. She gave Dimitri a goodbye kiss and watched as he pulled off. She took a deep breath taking her mind off of that now and putting it right back where it needed to be, her match. She headed inside. Of course, it was starting to get pretty packed outside already. The fans still had about two or three hours before they would be let in, but they wanted to come early to make sure they got to see people arrive and all...perhaps even get a chance at a few autographs. Phoenix went inside and found her locker room. She was going to just drop her things off, but then another thought came to her mind. She went and hit the showers. Showers always relaxed her and she felt no better time than now to have one. She came out and got dressed and all in her wrestling attire. As she finished putting on all the things she needed, she put on a black "Whatever It Takes" over her top to walk around in. She went and got her makeup perfected and all. She was ready now. She went out into the arena and went to the very top of it. She sat down in the seats and watched as the equipment crew were unloading the boxes to set up everything. She watched as the men set up the very ring that they would be performing in that night. As she was sitting there focusing and taking in the whole atmosphere, one of the camera men "snuck" up to where she was with his camera. Of course, she could see him since she was looking around anyway, but she just let him think he caught her off guard.

Phoenix Just another day in the life of Victoria Williams...better known to many as Phoenix.

He had his camera on just catching her on what she was doing the day of Whatever It Takes.

Phoenix Just a few more hours before Whatever It Takes, and Phoenix is here in the arena focused. I am taking in this whole atmosphere and environment of the very arena we will be selling out tonight. I watch as these men put together this ring that I have been training pretty hard to tear down tonight. I watch them build the set over there that we will walk through. The moment my music hits tonight, I will be in an entirely different state of mind. Tonight, Phoenix is like a shark, and the only thing on my mind is eat. People can say all day that they are ready, but are they really ready? Tonight will prove the test.

Phoenix stared out into the ring hardly ever even blinking her eyes.

Phoenix One more fight. If that is all I have left in me, then tonight I will still give everything to end this era off the exact same way I started. I came in kicking ass and tonight I will leave out kicking ass. It just makes it better that I have a chance to take some gold with me. As I talk now, I know Paris will be listening. The only thing about it, she only listens to about half of what I say. I guarantee you that will prove to be part of your downfall tonight. You see, you keep talking about me being so excited about beating you. You keep talking about my past accomplishments. But as I said the last time, it was just another match. You made this bigger than what it is. You want me to feel so special about beating you, and I just do not. Perhaps that part of your methods that you were going on about? First you wanted to make sure I beat you the first time so you could make it better when you came back and beat me the second. I guess me feeling so great about it was all a part of the plan right? Well your plan failed to begin with. No, not just part of the plan failed...all of it did. I beat you...no big deal. Beating you tonight would be a big deal because I will surely have something to show for it. So while you can still say that I am so excited about it, go ahead. I guess that makes you feel better. I said last time to forget all about my accomplishments that I have had. Forget about any that I might have after this. Focus on right here tonight. That was my entire reason for telling you to bring it harder. I am sure I sounded like a coach of some sort coaching you on. I just figure you need a bit help because you are not going about things the right way. Your focus is twisted. You are focusing on things you do not want me to focus on, and that will hurt you. You are focusing on me beating you twice, and you do not want me to. You are focusing on my past accomplishments, and you do not want me to. You are focusing on winning, but you do not want me to. Does any of that even make sense when you think about it? Really, does it?

Phoenix grinned a bit. It was the first time she had really lost her focus on the things around her.

Phoenix You did have me laughing a bit though. I have been trying to teach you all about me. I want you to know exactly what you are up against. Think of the mafia. They put their weapons right on the table for everyone to see. I am doing the exact same. I have no under the table tactics for you here tonight. I have nothing to pull from under my sleeve. But yet, you are missing the parts that you should really pay attention to and catching all those that you could probably just skip all together. That is the funny part. You go on about these things and it is like you have repeated what I said. Again, take the past accomplishments do not matter. I said that. Take the beating you twice does not matter, I said that. You misquoted the "make you or break you" type match part, but that is fine, I somewhat said that too. Now that you figured out how to go ahead and say what I said, I want you to say this. Even if you do not say it for everyone to hear, at least warn yourself. You are telling everyone that you bet I do not have people behind me for support. You are so right. I mean, if I could give you a prize, I would. I have maybe one or two people for sure backing me in this match, other than family of course. You say the only thing people are waiting for tonight is to see me fail. Right again! That is two for you. You are on it girl! They are.

Phoenix nods.

Phoenix They really are. But it is always like that...sooo....what else is new? You going to tell me that no one likes me? You going to tell me that no one wants me here? You going to tell me I do not deserve to even be in this match? No one wants to see me with the title? Take your pick. You can find at least five for each of those I just named and about ten for the ones you already put out there. Again Paris, you are right. People are waiting for me to fail here tonight. They want you to win tonight. The girls in the back would probably rather the title not be on either one of us, but definitely rather you have it than me. That is perfectly fine. At the end of the night, you have to realize one thing. These people cannot fight for me. They cannot fight for you. It is left up to me and you. I have been fighting without support for over half of my matches. I have never been the most liked person. People do not like people who do what they want when they want to. They do not like people who speak the bitter and harsh truth. I come out here and tell you I will kick your ass and then actually do it, you will hate me. I have a very small ally list that I could count on one hand, and with just a few fingers at that. My enemy list....it is innumberable. But once again, I did not really come to make friends. I did not really come to make supporters either. Trust me, I have more support than you would know about. But if looking it at this how you do...how much worse will you feel knowing that you have all the support in the world and it still proved to not be enough? Horrible thing right? Well get used to it.

Phoenix paused. There was one thing she had been leaving out all this time and had to be sure to focus on that since it would be very important in the match.

Phoenix Now one thing that I have been leaving out this entire time is the fact that we have a special guest referee in this match...that being the former champion herself Jeanette Salazar-Sane. I expect that she will call this right down the middle as she does want to see a new champion crowned and wants to see the women's division take off again. I guess in some way, I really should be thanking Jeanette. Her vacating her title did get me to this position a lot quicker than what I expected, so thanks. Now I have to go and make the best of this opportunity presented to me. Now I have to win a title and do my best to carry this division on. I am all for the renovation of the women's division. So if becoming champion means being a leader to the others in the back, I am ready for the challenge. In that sense, I guess I better start preparing my inauguration speech. Paris, we have talked two very powerful games. We have fought two battles already. Tonight, no more talking is to be done. Tonight, those two battles are irrelevant. Tonight, two women go to war for one prize. You say you want this title bad, and I can guarantee I want it just as bad. I really doubt you want this as bad as you want. You would really hate the price of fame because it costs too much. Me, I am ready for whatever. I will be here when the smokes clears and everything settles. I am the champion.

Phoenix stood up and motioned around her waist where she planned for the title to be going later on tonight. She checked the time and knew that people would be filling up the arenas pretty soon so she figured she better head to the back and wait for her match. One more match, one more pay per view, and if she did as planned, one more title. Goodbye to the MSN era...hello to Phoenix's legacy.

OOC Statement: So here is number three. It was SUPPOSED to go up last night but I got too lazy and then I figured I better slow down with trying to r/p and do other things as well before I lose my mind. And Bianca...I'm pretty sure your last r/p counted. The six hour deadline was for people who had not put in a first yet...I think. Oh well...it was a good and fun series....look forward to reading the results. Enjoy the r/p.
