THE CANNONS  PART FOUR
by IRONMACK.


BILLIE walked over to the automatic timer
and switched it off.
It seemed to signal a cryptic finality.
MARY advanced  toward JOHN with steel in
her eyes.
JOHN forced away his fear and snapped to
attention.His muscles contracted and rippled
as he pounded his fists together.
"Okay,sweetie",he said with grit teeth."TO THE
FINISH!"
BILLIE and JIMMY watched in awed silence as
their parents stalked each other with raised fists.
They were taken by surprise when MARY stopped and placed her hands on
her hips.
She leaned forward,exposing her chin.
"Go ahead",she said."Take your best shot."
JOHN halted.He was confused.
So were BILLIE and JIMMY.They looked at
each other,then back at the ring.
JOHN'S hesitation lasted only a few seconds.
A solid right whipped out like lightning into
MARY'S face.Her head snapped back.
But she was still standing.
And smiling.
SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO FEEL A THING.
JOHN'S mouth dropped open.That punch could
have knocked out a horse.
Summoning more power,JOHN shot an even
HARDER blow into MARY'S face.
STILL NOTHING.
In desperation,he used BOTH fists.
LEFT.RIGHT.LEFT.RIGHT.LEFT.RIGHT.
One after another.
His hands began to hurt.
After at least A DOZEN merciless blows,
JOHN stopped.
MARY WAS STILL SMILING.
JOHN looked at his fists.
The boxing gloves were ripped and shredded.
The iron inside them broken into shattered,tink-
ling pieces.
Fear crept back into JOHN'S eyes.
"That's right,baby",sneered MARY."INNER
STRENGTH."
MARY shot a wicked left hook into JOHN'S
side,breaking his ribs.A right hammered into
his stomach,bending him over with a scream.
A left blasted his jaw.His mouth spit up blood
and a tooth.Another left lifted him three feet into
the air.He bounced off the ropes and staggered
forward.
JOHN tried to fight back,but his punches had no steam at all.He swung in
slow motion.MARY
flicked his blows away like flies.
JOHN was a wounded,crippled bull about to be
slain by the matadora.MARY pummeled him at
will.Thunderous blows that produced a sick,wet
meaty sound from JOHN'S battered flesh.He was trapped against the ropes
as MARY machine-gunned OVER A HUNDRED LEFTS
AND RIGHTS INTO HIS FACE AND BODY.
When he lowered his face,MARY shot his chin
skyward with a wall-shaking right.
MORE blood squirted from his mouth and nose.
MARY returned again to his side and mid-section with OVER A DOZEN
RAPIDLY-
FIRED TORPEDOES OF MIGHT!
JOHN'S kidneyd would surely be ruptured.He'd
be pissing blood for a month.
"P-Please",begged JOHN."I-I quit----I give----"
"TOUGH!"barked MARY."I'M NOT FINISHED
YET!"
Another left skewered into JOHN'S gut like a
POWER DRILL,making him yelp at an even
HIGHER pitch.MARY drummed in his face with
a series of looping right hands,driving him across the ring,stumbling on
weakened legs.
Another TWELVE DOZEN POUNDING LEFTS
AND RIGHTS reduced the FIGHTING MARINE
to a whimpering mass of bruises,welts,and blood.
Both eyes were SWOLLEN SHUT.His broken
lips and nose bleeding.His face a swollen mess.
With a series of bombs to the face,MARY gave
JOHN a final message.
WHAM!
"Guess what,SUPERMAN?"
WHAM!
"Your reign as champ is OVER!"
WHAM!
"Meet th' NEW champ!"
WHAM!
"SLEEP TIGHT,BITCH!"
KBOOM!!!!
A final ATOMIC BLAST from MARY'S fist ended the slaughter.The deadly
blow launched
JOHN off his feet,sending him to the other end
of the ring where his body slid to a dead stop
in front of his son.
He lay there,on his back,blood trailing from his
face and soaking the ring,as still as a CORPSE.
HE'D BE OUT FOR A WEEK!
"D-Dad",whimpered JIMMY."DAD,GET UP! YOU'RE A MARINE!GET UP!"
MARY rested against the ropre in triumpth!
"Sorry,JIMMY",she said."That's one MARINE
that's been KILLED IN ACTION!"

An hour later,the CANNON FAMILY was back
upstairs.
A half-dead JOHN CANNON lay STILL UNCONSCIOUS on the bed in the parents'
master bedroom.He'd been carried there,drap-
ed across the broad shoulders of BILLIE CANNON.She disgarded her father
on the bed
like so much DEAD MEAT.
Now---BILLIE,MARY, and JIMMY were in the
living room.
MARY lay on the couch while BILLIE tended
to her wounds from the titanic battle.
BILLIE fed her mother painkillers,then applied
an ice pack to her sore tits.
JIMMY sat in a chair,dejected by the fate of his
crushed and defeated hero.
While MARY rested,BILLIE stood up and faced
her younger brother.
"Oh,JIMMY---"she said,arching an eyebrow.
JIMMY looked up at her.
'I was curious.Just how did DADDY get those
iron-weighted gloves on.You were the only one
in his corner."
"Yeah,yeah,yeah",JIMMY responded with a
scowl."I slipped DAD the iron.So what?"
BILLIE cracked her knuckles."Set MOM up,eh?
Boys will be boys?I think you and I should dis-
cuss this----IN PRIVATE!"
"Yeah?"
"Oh,YEAH!"
BILLIE flexed both biceps,MOUNTAIN-SIZED,
like her mother's.She contracted her iron muscles,causing her tight
shirt to RIP from her
body,revealing huge,firm tits.Her cut-off jeans
shorts hugged her hard round ass and granite
thighs.There was a look of thrreatening doom
in her eyes.
JIMMY showed no fear.
"FUCK YOU,BITCH!" he roared."DADDY may
have been whipped,but I'M still STRONG AS
AN OX!"
JIMMY stood up and faced his sister.
She was still a head taller,but that didn't intimi-
date JIMMY.
He stripped off his shirt and flexed HIS biceps.
Even at his young age,JIMMY'S massive guns
rivaled his DAD'S.They were BOULDERS OF
BULGING MIGHT.His entire body was incred-
ibly muscular for a kid so young.Broad solid
shoulders.Rock-hard abs.Thick-muscled legs
hidden under his jeans pants.
"I'M BIGGER AN' STRONGER THAN I WAS
TH' LAST TIME WE FOUGHT!YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH MY HELPIN' DAD,WE CAN
SETTLE IT WITH OUR FISTS!THAT WAY I
CAN EVEN TH' SCORE!"
MARY,hearing the commotion,raised her head
to watch her two children.
BILLIE glanced over to her mother with a con-
fident smile.
"MOM,excuse us while JIMMY and I settle this
downstairs."
MARY merely nodded.
BILLIE and JIMMY returned to the basement.
Both teenagers BULGING WITH MUSCLE as
they departed.
Minutes later,as MARY CANNON rested on the
couch,she began to hear thumping,pounding,
and crashing sounds coming from the basement.She recognized the hard
cracking sounds of fist banging into face.The meaty 
thud of heavy blows to the body.A thunderous
sound of a body hitting the floor.
At various moments,the walls were shaking
from the violence.
After about an hours time,the battle was  STILL
raging!
But more and more, MARY began to hear a
young male voice yelping and screaming in pain,whimpering in agony.The
blows to face and body were getting LOUDER.As were the cries and
whimpers.
Then---the young male voice,now quivering,
was begging while crying from a SAVAGE
FIST-BEATING!
"P-PLEASE,SIS----"it sobbed."B-BILLIE-----
PLEASE-----I BEG-----M-MERCY---PLEASE!"
The beating continued ON AND ON------
MARY lay back,relaxed---and SMILED.
