King Fuego is in his familys gym, still feeling the loss on his American debut. He batters himself by lifting heavy weights from the bench press, shoulder press and curls. He continues to roar out loud and remember spots from his debut match with Tiger Mask Red. As he remembers near the end, he gets visibly more agitated and proceeds to throw the weights down and go to kick the pad, only to halt the fast kick as the very dying second as his father is right in front of the kick pads on purpose. Fuego panics at first but is relieved that no harm has caused from his frustration.
“You’ve lost many times son but this one troubles more so why?”
King Fuego tries to ignore the comments.
“Now son don’t ignore me. I know this is messing with your mind. Come sit down.”
Fuego to start of with is very reluctant to go ahead but soon eventually agrees to sit down with his father. His old man puts his arm around his shoulder and starts off talking to help him feel better.
“So why are you feeling like this?”
“Because I wanted the perfect start! To get the win so that I can show these Americans the talent we have here and push the familia name and tradition up north!”
His father breathes in for a moment.
“Oooookay, so you wanted to be like everyone else and get that win. I get it. But someone had to lose. Sadly this instance it was yourself.”
“But I should have done more to avoid that! I have let the Fuego familia down with a debut loss. How am I suppose to carry the tradition on when I’ve started off bad?”
“Let me ask you some questions son.”
“Okay?”
“Did you lose your job?”
“No?”
“Did you get asked to come back over to LA by them?”
“Yes….”
“And if my memory is right ,it is all hazy with old age and too many concussions…..Wasn’t your match voted match of the night? Against an exploding cage match?”
King Fuego nods to which his dad laughs and slaps him on the back.
“So don’t you see son? You didn’t lose. You started the fire for the fuego familia in the United states! Stop beating yourself so hard when it’s not needed to. A loss is a loss. But you made a mark because people started talking about King Fuego!”
King Fuego soon starts to see his fathers side of the coin.
“So let’s focus on the next match and not the last okay son? The past is in the past.”
King Fuego and his dad embrace before his father goes back to the house.
“Thanks papa!”
“Anytime son!”
As his father returns to go into the house, Fuego catches something from the corner of his eye. He gets up and walks over near the entrance gate of their home in Mexico. He slowly opens and closes the gate behind him as he looks around. He initially sees nothing from looking at both ends of the rural road but then out of nowhere he is pounced by a unknown person who takes him to the ground and immediately calls on him be quiet. He makes that motion to shush with his finger as Fuego soon sees who it is to his surprise.
“What the hell are you doing here?!”
“I had to see you.”
“But what did I tell you? Not at my familias house!”
“I know but It’s important!”
“To hell with your important news! What if someone followed you?!”
“No one did!”
“That better be so or else I’ll send you to hell!”
“Look you need to see this!”
“Not here….I’ll meet you at the usual spot if it’s that important!”
“Why not no-“
“I told you, NEVER at my familias. If something happens to them, I cannot live with myself. I’d carry the heavy cross on my back for eternity. So same spot, same time, same place. Okay?!”
…………………….
I didn’t get the win I wanted on my debut here in America but I’m not disheartened.
Because the praise I got from everybody means the fire in fuego is still burning bright!
I may not have gotten the result but I sure as hell got the impact to make sure that my time in America will carry on for months and months in the future! And now I have myself listed for the rey de reyes tournament match against one La Cucaracha.
A fierce female so she is! But she too will want a win after narrowly just being short of winning in the exploding steel cage.
You are on tough competitor and someone who I will not underestimate for one second! I have prepared for you to hit hard with your kicks and punches to the point the bruising will start to form from behind my mask!
But this isn’t a normal match isn’t it? The winner here goes to the semi finals of the Rey de Reyes title tournament to crown the first ever champion. So I am going to say the same to you what I said to Tiger Mask Red.
Do not underestimate me, but be prepared for me. I will hit you hard like how I hit the punchbags, and kick so hard you’d think my shins were made of steel! You will be limping and beg this king for mercy when I execute you with the Infernium!
I respect you as an athlete, but this opportunity is just too good to miss out on! King Fuego wants to be surrounded by a ring of fire! And I will get that when I am champion! That starts with you Cucaracha.
Chapter Dos will be about ascending. I will ascend further to the throne that is mine, and you will remain where you are. I cannot lose this time, not again. Because the Throne is calling for his king.
GOL! Fans, get ready. You are about to witness another five star match with me, but this time I will have my hand raised in victory!
La Cucaracha, bring it. Because I will bring it all to this match to show the world that this fire still burns.
….
Long live the king!
