Victors Rival

Prologue

?: You two never fail to surprise me. Ever since I first saw your skating, it has been an unending chain of surprises.

~2015 Grand Prix Final, Sochi~

M

orooka: He has also crushed the free skating event! It will be the fifth consecutive Grand Prix Final victory for Russia's legend,Victor Nikiforov. Nikiforov is now 27 years old. Some speculated that he might retire this season, but his masterful performance seems to lay such rumors to rest. As for Katsuki Yuri, who earned a spot in the Grand Prix for the first time, what do you think Honda-san?

Honda: Well, he didn't perform like his usual self today, but his brother came like the last times again behind Nikiforov on the second place.

In the Backstage area we see a boy with black hair and a pair of glasses sitting on a chair while reading the news. On his side is his trainer, Celestino Cialdini.

Celestino: Yuri, don't look at the news. Let's go back.

Yuri: "Katsuki fell to Last Place. Is this season his last? Older Katsuki brother again on the second place."

Celestino: Yuri....

The screen freezes and we see a chibi version of Yuri.

Yuri: My name is Katsuki Yuri! I'm one of the dime-a-dozen top figure skaters certified by the JSF. I'm 23. My name makes me sound strong,but I finished last at my first Grand Prix Final. I still can't accept what happened!

The screen unfreezes and we see Yuri walking.

Yuri: (thinking) I even moved to a training facility in Detroit and worked hard to make it to the final. But the pressure had me bimge-eating before the match, and our family dog died... Mentally and Physically, I was at my worst! It was supposed to be my big day,too...
Well, it's all my fault,anyway.

Before we follow Yuri we see a younger boy with a jacket of russia and the hood of the jacket is on his head. In the Toilets we have Yuri who goes into a stall and calls his mother on the phone.

Yuri: Hello? Mom, were you sleeping? Sorry. Oh, you were watching on TV? Huh? A public viewing? Please! I'm so embarrassed! I'm sorry. I messed up.

With that, Yuri ends his phone call and begins to cry.

Suddenly his crying is interupted by a slam against the stall door. When he opens the door Katsuki sees before him the Junior Grand Prix Final gold winner, Yuri Plisetsky.

Katsuki: (thinking) The "Russian Punk" is looking at me like I'm a piece of trash...

Yuri Plisetsky raises slowly his hand.

Katsuki: (thinking) what the hell?!?

Yuri Plisetsky: Hey. I'm conpeting in the Senior division next year. We don't need two Yuris in the same bracket. Incompetents like you should just retire already. Moron!!

Katsuki: (thinking) Even if I left the sport, there would be tons of talented young skaters rising through the ranks.

Back at the backstage we see now that Katsuki and Celestino are going to the exit when Katsuki gets called.

Morooka: Katsuki-Kun!

Katsuki: Newscaster Morooka...

Morooka: Don't give up! It's to early for you to retire!

Katsuki: It's not like I've made a decision. Please don't make assumptions.

Morooka: What will you do after you graduate from college? Will you follow your brother and train with him back in Japan?

Katsuki: I will be talking that over with Coach Celestino.

Morooka: I'm asking you how you feel about this!

Katsuki: (thinking) I don't want to think right now. I'm Sorry Vicchan. Sorry I can't go home

Morooka: will you keep going? Maybe just part-time? You still habe a chance back in Japan.

Victor: Yuri. The step sequence could use more-

Yurio: I won, so who cares? Quit nagging, Victor.

Katsuki: (thinking) oh, the Yuri on the russian team. If I do have a chance, someday I would like to...

Viktor: A commenmorative photo? Sure.

After Viktor said that, Yuri turned around and walks out of the exit while ignoring the callings of Morooka and Celestino.
Katsuki: (thinking) this is humiliating. I was an idiot for thinking I couöd finally meet my idol, on the same playing field...
