CRIES OF THE NIGHTENGALES



The night air was filled with the electricity of human combat ; the crowd
was early , the arena was decked with an Asian ambiance .G-MAN left no
stone unturned ; he hired a traditional decorating firm from main land
China. This night would be special ; everyone could feel it. The challenge
would be large against small , tradition Vs the unconventional ,
professional training against street savvy , east against west. This nights
battle was between two lady warriors completely different from one another
yet both just as capable as the other. Lucy Liu of Ally McNeal fame was
trained from a child in classical kung fu (Tai chi and Tien wu shu). Lucy
had many battles in the past both formal and even her share of street
fights ; no doubt some took her for a push over because of her size.
However the small framed actress never lost a fight.

Tia Carrere on the other hand had only been in street fights and a few of
G-Man's "Pit Fights" her record over all was 13 wins and five losses. This was to
her advantage though; she had been knocked out ,submitted and had one match
called because the ref saw she was getting hurt. She was not over confident
nor was she over estimating her opponent. Tia new her strengths and
weaknesses and had learned to detect early those of her enemies ; she was
in the best shape of her life mentally and physically.

The time had come, a large bronze gong was struck by two large muscular
Asian men to signal the match to begin. The rules were simple no weapons,
no outside help(except if ones corner was throwing in the towel, no biting,
no gauging, no genital claw holds,no spinal attacks. Don't think it was
boring it was anything but! All these holds, locks, slams, chops, kicks
butts and general a@#$! Whoppin' you'd ever want was in this one!

The two Asian beauties were dressed in silk robes embroidered in gold;
they dropped their robes simultaneously walked slowly to the center of the
pit then bowed and got into their stances. Both women were wearing lite
weight protective chest gear much like that of boxers; Tia in a black
French cut leotard and Lucy in a crimson colored g-string (the crowd went
wild! Led by, of all people Jet Li "Lucy! Lucy ! Lucy!) Lucy took the
northern Shaolin crane style stance and Tia took a western boxing stance .
They circled each other , eyes locked not at all distracted by the noise of
the crowd; then suddenly they let out a simultaneous ki yup rushing toward
each other with

the speed of two track stars. Tia launched an Airiel attack faking a front
snap kick but planning claw fist assault on Lucy's crown. Lucy side stepped
the Hawaiian beauty

and slipped her hand between the big girls legs snatching her out of the
air and slamming Tia to the ground with a terrible thud. Referee for this
event was Gina Torres of Cleopatra 2525 ," watch the crotch ! watch the
crotch! Lucy!" she warned. "check it check it ! I got her upper inner
thigh! retorted the little vixen. It was true Lucy had hold of a pressure
point just below the lips of the Hawaiian amazon's vaginal lips was an
ancient technique used by East Indian prostitutes in the Karma Sutra when
fighting to the death over a lover. Meanwhile poor Tia was screaming like a
whipped dog, writhing in pain and losing control of her motor functions.
She was soliciting the intervention of deities in at least three languages
we could recognize. I think she would have submitted at that point but the
pain was so excruciating she could not think of it. Tia burst into tears
from the agony not even able to beg for mercy. The only thing she could do
was rock back and forth with her jaw quivering like a child who 
just received a beating. After a time her
legs and a$$ started to go numb hence the pain was gone she was gathering
herself amid Lucy's demands for her to give up. "Come b!%@#! You know you
want to quit! "It's over It's over ! you're done! Tia knew that Lucy
probably had a thousand of those d@^^$! Asian holds! So Tia who has were
lightly grasping Lucy's small but sinewy

fore arms like a toddler holding a parents arm who is attending to a
wound. Now that Tia was numbing and she was no longer distracted by pain
she was thinking of a plan of attack. Like a cobra Tia open hand struck
Lucy's throat cutting off her air and sending her into hysterics. With her
other hand Tia grabbed the little warriors hair to keep her from falling
backwards and possibly escaping. The Hawaiian grappler then rammed the heel
of her hand into Lucy's nose; blood splattered everywhere. Lucy let out a
high pitched scream ; "eeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh! My Nose!" By the time
her head snapped back Tia was delivering a flurry of back hands across
Lucy's face and temple.

The "relic huntress" was not done ; she was getting feeling back in her
legs and butt. She stood up slowly raising her bloody little foe with her
hand ; once to her feet she quickly clamped on a front face lock then
deliver a swift DDT crashing Lucy's crown.

Lucy was out completely but Tia did not care she was enraged at the fact
that this little vixonette had here praying for death at the outset of the
match. Her savagery served two purposes

 1. To cut Lucy off of any chance for a come back (she could not take
another hold like that)

2. To make Lucy pay for her embarrassment and pain and 3. To go home with
Lucy's escort Chow Yon Phat; who was covering his eyes at Lucy's suffering.
Tia put an inverted figure- four- leg -lock on her beaten foe then she
methodically interlocked her fingers with Lucy's then snapping Lucy's arms
into double arm bars. Tia crossed Lucy's little arms until it appear Lucy's
arms were coming out of their sockets ; still holding the figure four hold
Tia rolled on to her back hoisting poor Lucy in mid air screaming for
mercy. From her crimson colored mouth ,hair hanging and dripping with
blood, knees and shoulder contorted , tiny glutei muscles quivering,one eye
closed with swelling abs and veins pulsating in a symphony of pain! As
Lucy's blood washed abs flexed she let out one last horrifying scream;
shrill like a fallen birds last cry. Tia knew it was over she rolled to her
side sending the little Nightingales limp body crashing to the ground. The
crowd was silent , we did not know whether she was dead or alive. Tia 
arose then kneeled

down to check Lucy's artery she looks up with tears in her eyes and raised
her thumb the crowd roared with applause the doctors rushed into the pit to
attend to Lucy . Tia backed away slowly the bowed low to her fallen
opponent.

No one would ever forget that night when one warrior honored another; the
night when we heard "The Cries of The Nightingales??..
