MUSCLEGURLZ FIGHT THEATER PART THREE by IRONMACK Both women stumbled forward,slighly weaken- ed,yet still stronger than a hundred men. They collided explosively,with fists flying. They stood toe to toe,in the center of the basement,pounding away murderously at each other. Slamming sledgehammer blows to the face. Piledriving hooks to the stomach and kidneys. Deep,vicious punches to the tits. Consistantly making one another yelp,scream, and cry. The battle went on and on AND ON AND ON AND ON---WELL INTO THE NIGHT! On several occassions,L'RETHA smashed HELGA into the walls and furniture with mass- ively powerful crosses and uppercuts. While at other moments,HELGA hammered L'RETHA into the floor with wrecking ball overhand blows. Each woman drew blood,splattering the floor. After SEVERAL HOURS OF NON-STOP PUNCHING,both L'RETHA and HELGA began to slow down,taking their time in order to summon enough strength to throw a single punch. Finally----AFTER ANOTHER HOUR OF HEAVY SLUGGING,both women stood in the center of the basement,weakened and on wobbly legs,bruised and sore,arms hang- ing at their sides,barely able to stand. L'RETHA slammed HELGA'S face with a right cross,then dropped her arm to her side once more. HELGA,in turn,smashed L'RETHA'S face with a right cross of her own,then dropped her arm as well. They were both breathing heavily,wheezing and whimpering. THEY MOVED LIKE A COUPLE OF OLD WOMEN. L'RETHA was now taking precious time to raise a right fist to hammer in HELGA'S face,then simply stand,sagging closer to the floor. HELGA was in worse shape.It took her longer to return L'RETHA'S blows because it actually HURT to raise her arms. Still,somehow,she managed to drive a fist into L'RETHA'S face. IT WENT ON LIKE THAT FOR ANOTHER HOUR. L'RETHA NAILING HELGA. HELGA NAILING L'RETHA. BACK AND FORTH.BACK AND FORTH. AGAIN AND AGAIN. ON AND ON AND ON----- Until---A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR LATER---- L'RETHA suddenly found,to her distress and horror, that SHE COULD NOT RAISE A FIST. SHE WAS DONE. SPENT. BEATEN DOWN TO THE POINT OF TOTAL HELPLESSNESS. She tried her best to produce a decent punch, BUT FAILED! Every movement was painful. SHE HAD NO STRENGTH LEFT. SHE WAS BEATEN. WHIPPED! She whimpered in pain and despair. "SHIT!" she sobbed. HELGA smiled,even though it hurt. "AWWW---" she said,in mock sympathy."Isn't that just TOOOO BAAAD!You're all beat down AN' WORE OUT!TOOO BAAAD,hon.Guess now I get TO FINISH YOU OFF." L'RETHA gulped somewhat fearfully. HELGA raised her right fist and,with what might she had left,threw a right cross. It was LIMP. WEAK. PATHETIC. It connected----- BUT L'RETHA DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT. HELGA'S STRENGTH WAS GONE! Tearful,in despair,HELGA stared at her once- mighty fist. "Damn," she whimpered."That's FUCKED UP!" "Looks like we're BOTH done," said L'RETHA. HELGA looked at L'RETHA.Both of them were fading FAST. They were BLOODIED,BRUISED,BEATEN DOWN,WITH SWOLLEN BLACK EYES,AND PUFFY,BLEEDING LIPS. BOTH HALF-DEAD. "W-Whatta ya' say?" aske HELGA."C-Call it a DRAW?" Gratefully,L'RETHA nodded"Yes--OH YES!" They both nodded in agreement. "Thanks!" they both said simultaneously. THEN,BOTH WOMEN FELL FORWARD, SMASHING INTO THE FLOOR,FACE FIRST. THEY LAY SIDE BY SIDE--- BOTH OUT---AND DEAD!!! SEVERAL HOURS LATER--- By mid-afternoon--they both finally came to. Still in pain and agony,they slowly made it to their feet and held one another up as they limped upstairs from the basement. LATER--after gulping down pain pills and helping each other tend to their wounds, L'RETHA and HELGA lay in bed,side by side,their bodies heavily bandaged,watch- ing television. Friends again,they made a date to go shopping. As soon as they had the strength to walk.
