Survival of the Fittest
by Alpesco
The six foot two blonde amazon faces a new test.
The six foot two inch tall blonde stretched her long, hard body,
reaching up her left hand to an overhanging branch three feet
above her. Karen Sandwood was about to exercise her arms. Her
hand gripped the branch tightly and she began to flex her long
arm. I watched, transfixed, as the big muscles rippled and
hardened along her arm, pulling her whole chiseled one hundred
and eighty pound bodyweight easily up off the ground. She
continued her slow, powerful flex until her chin had been raised
three inches above the branch and her feet were dangling nearly
three feet above the ground. She hung there for a moment, flexing
her free right arm for effect, then she lowered herself to full
extension, repeating the process eleven more times as I watched.
It was almost
hypnotic watching the thick muscles of her arm swell and coil as
they raised and lowered her body. Dropping to the ground, she
stretched her big arms wide, then she repeated the exercise, this
time using just her right arm. Now that she was using her
stronger arm she did more reps, completing eighteen strict pull-ups
without even looking tired. Karen liked to do one arm pull-ups.
It was one of her favorite exercises.
Turning to face me, she stretched out her sleeveless arms and
flexed them, enjoying the effect that this display of her power
had on me. I couldn't hide the fact that her power turned me to
jelly inside. I'd never met a young woman who was so much
stronger than most trained men. Her biceps and shoulder muscles
were huge! Her arms seemed big, even for someone her height of
six foot two, but when she tensed them, two huge biceps erupted
from her upper arms. Each was bigger than any bicep I'd ever seen
up close. They were like two large cannonballs rising beneath the
skin. Sandwood towered above me. I stood five feet seven inches
tall. She was six feet two - a sunglass-wearing amazon in cut-off
jeans and a small black sleeveless top.She had a serious face
beneath straggly blonde hair. Her cut-off jeans emphasized the
shape and power of her long legs, with their flaring muscles.
Compared to her powerful legs, her waist was slender, her torso
widening sharply as it rose toward broad shoulders and long,
muscular arms.
At twenty eight, I was about the same age as the young woman who
had brought us here to this isolated mountain farmstead. My
boyfriend, Vince, was thirty seven. Sandwood was only four inches
taller than him, and weighed about the same, but her strength was
on a whole other level! I had seen her pick Vince up and just
press him overhead like he was a five year-old kid! Even both of
us together were no match for her speed and steely strength -
strength that she had built up in twenty years of trainng. She
had kept us here against our will for over ten weeks. Sandwood
had cut us off from contact with the world simply because she had
decided that it was too risky to let us return to our home in the
city now that we knew the location of her squatter homestead way
out here in the mountains. And her claim to the twenty square
miles of wilderness that she had chosen was not an idle one. She
was easily strong enough to enforce her claim to own and occupy
this land against all comers. The few people who lived in the
valleys round about already knew far better than to challenge her.
Karen walked over to a three foot tall crate that Mitch, a
drifter she allowed to live in a cabin lower down her mountain,
had carried up that morning. The crate had been heavy. It was
solidly made of inch thick wood and two inch thick struts, but
Karen was in no mood to bother with hammers or crowbars. She
gripped the edges of two struts, and her big arm muscles swelled.
At first there was no movement, but then I began to hear the
growing sound of creaking and then of cracking wood. As I
watched, the whole timber crate began to crack and tear. I stood
and stared as Karen's strong arms simply ripped the box apart,
the inch thick wood splitting like cheap pasteboard as her hands
wrenched it open. She let go of what had been the crate edges,
letting the broken shards of wood fall to the ground. Inside what
remained of the crate was a plastic bag full of protective
styrofoam, and inside that was a piece of electronic equipment.
"I've wanted to get hold of one of these for a long time,'
she said, lifting the fifty pound piece of equipment out of its
container as easily as if it had been a foam-rubber bolster. She
placed it on the wooden table in the cabin porch. "One of my
contacts has been looking out for one of these for some time,"
she said. "It's a geosatellite scanner. It's not working,
but I can soon fix that." She strode into the cabin and
brought out a box of electrical tools and a thick manual.
"What does it do?" I asked, looking across at Vince who
was doing some digging that Karen had ordered him to do on the
far side of the clearing. Vince still wanted to escape, but until
he found the perfect plan, he didn't dare disobey Karen at all
now. Karen Sandwood ruled this mountain with complete power, and
the penalties for angering her were just too severe.
"This will show me the precise location, anywhere in the
western USA or Canada of anything marked with one of these chips,"
she said, unscrewing a panel and starting to inspect the circuit
boards. "If I use the right codes it will show me the
location of every single police and special services vehicle, and
I can place chips on people like you and your boyfriend that will
let me know exactly where you are at any time, accurate to within
three feet. Ah. That's what's wrong." She took out a
replacement circuit board and began to solder the tiny
connections between the diodes. Karen's hands were surprisingly
nimble and dextrous. I was impressed that hands could punch a
hole through an inch thick wooden crate, and rip it apart like
matchwood could also do such intricate work
Within thirty minutes the unit was up and working.
"Where did you learn to do that?" I asked.
"I've made sure to learn a lot of survival skills," she
said. "Not just hunting, unarmed combat, basic medicine,
weapons skills, but a load of other things too." she carried
the unit into the house. "I'll set it up this afternoon."
Just then there was the sound of crashing and whinnying from
somewhere beyond the clearing in the trees. Karen broke into a
jog as she went toward the sound to investigate. I followed as
the crashing continued, along with the sound of falling timbers.
We emerged into another small clearing where Karen had bult some
wooden pens to hold hogs and other livestock that were normally
allowed to forage the woods. At the far side, I saw a big man on
horseback. He was running his horse into the fences and kicking
away at them. Man and horse combined had already knocked down a
few yards of fencing.
"Stop that!" Karen yelled. She could shout real loud
when she wanted to, and her voice echoed around the clearing,
startling the horse.
"Who are you?" the man glared at us angrily. His face
was heavy and covered in thick stubble. 'You've no right to have
these fences here. My horse almost broke his leg!'
"That's your fault," Karen said. 'This is my land. Get
off it now!"
"They told me there were squatters up here," the man
said, urging his horse toward us. "My boss is going to have
to get the authorities in and get you trash cleaned out."The
large horse came right up to us and the rider turned it side-on
into Karen in an attempt to drive us back into the fence.
But Sandwood stood her ground. Bending suddenly, she seized the
horse's near-side rear leg in her arms. Turning away and pulling
upward and outward, she forced its hoof up off the ground as if
to examine it. Her big biceps swelled.as her arms flexed, forcing
the horse's slender leg higher and higher. The horse was
beginning to struggle now, trying to free its leg from her
unexpected steely grasp, but Sandwood knew exactly what she was
doing and exactly how strong she was. She was bracing one of her
strongest muscle groups against the weakest of the horse's leg
muscles.
"What are you doing?" the rider shouted in surprise and
alarm.
Karen said nothing as her brutally powerful arms continued to
flex. The horse began to whinny, staggering as it tried, to
balance on its one rear leg as Karen increased her upward force.
It struggled, but it couldn't break free. I saw Sandwood's face
concentrate. Her biceps hardened in a seizmic contraction, as she
applied a burst of strength to the trapped leg. There was a dull,
ripping crack as her arms wrenched sharply upward, and the
horse's leg twisted unnaturally! With a startled scream, the
horse toppled over onto its side, falling heavily to the ground
as it spilled its rider onto the grass.
Karen's arms released the injured leg as she took two quick steps
backward to avoid the thrashing hooves. She glowered darkly at
the horse and rider.
I gasped. She was so strong! I almost had orgasms looking at what
her long, muscular arms had done.
The horse was writhing on the ground, trying to get back up.
She'd hurt it, with just her bare arms. It was finding it very
difficult to get back up. Before it could do so, Karen took five
swift strides around it, bending to grab the fallen rider by his
jacket collar. I could see by the look on her face that for him
the next few seconds were going to be very very bad.
Dragging the stranger to his feet with her left hand, she lashed
four huge punches in to the big man's head and body. Karen could
hit so hard! Once her first solid punch had struck home eighty
percent of her opponent's capacity to resist had been taken away.
The guy was in a world of shock at the pain. Giddy and
disorientated by that first shattering punch, there was nothing
more he could do. It was appalling to watch. His head crashed
back like a punch bag, the shape of his face distorting as her
heavy fists hit their target with appalling force. Gutteral
groans were driven from his throat as his body buckled and was
bent double by the power of Sandwood's punches. Seeing a guy take
the full force of Karen's anger was shocking. His face was a mess.
There was blood everywhere. He was shocked, weakened, rocking and
staggering.
After the fourth punch, Karen paused. I could see that she was
deciding whether to put in a few more, but he looked pretty much
broken by her first four punches. Her fists were tightly balled,
her dominant arms ready to put in the same again. "Where are
you from and who sent you here?" she asked.
"I can't say..."
KRACKK! Karen's right arm moved with eye-blurring speed, and with
enormous force. The blow caught him beneath the left side of his
jaw, seeming to lift his whole body up with it, and driving him
back five paces. He crashed into a fence which seemed to be the
only thing holding him upright.
"Where are you from?" Sandwood asked again, using
exactly the same tone of voice she had used just a moment before.
"From Edgeback Heights," the stranger gasped in a
quivering, frightened voice. "I'll tell you everything you
want to know. Please don't hit me any more!"
Karen seemed totally unsurprised at the effect of her five
punches. She knew how brutally strong she was. She could have
knocked him out with just one powerful punch if she'd wanted to.
Instead, she had finely-tuned her punches. Finely-tuned was an
odd word to use when you hit with the appalling force that Karen
Sandwood had just done, but it was true all the same. Karen had
calculated her punches to stun, to bewilder and to inflict
shocking levels of pain, but not to send him into unconsiousness
just yet. I was only just beginning to realise just how expertly
Karen Sandwood could use her prodigious strength.
"So what are you doing here?" she asked, "Who sent
you, and why?"
"I was sent by Kurt Cleaver," the man said, clinging to
the wooden fence to try to remain on his feet as blood streamed
down his face, dripping off his chin. "He wanted me to find
out who lived up here and to report back to him."
"Why?" Karen asked.
"He breeds horses down there, and was thinking of using some
of the land up here."
"So why were you breaking down my fences?"
"I thought they were old squatter fences, honest."
"Okay. I'll take you back and check on your story."
Karen stretched forward her right hand, clamped it on his neck
and squeezed gently, forcing him into unconsciousness.
Leaving him slumped on the ground, she looked across to the horse.
It had managed to get back on its feet, but was limping badly at
the edge of the clearing. "I think we'd better take the
truck," she said, turning back to her fallen foe.
She squatted
beside him, and the big arms that had just beaten the crap out of
him now lifted his unconscious body up off the ground like a
plaything. She straightened, cradling him in her arms, then
tossed the floppy body nearly a foot in the air as she rearranged
the two hundred pound burden in her arms. It was like this guy
was just a toy to her, one that she could do whatever she liked
with. She was in complete control.
Even though Karen was officially my enemy,
I couldn't help this feeling of hero-worship she inspired in me.
She was just so awesome. What guy had a chance against her? She
supported the rider easily, then turned and carried him the fifty
yards back to the main clearing.She strode to her pick-up truck,
and placed his body into the back. Telling Vince to keep on with
his work, she got in the cab and told me to come along.
"What if he comes to?" I said as she started the engine.
I was getting used to seeing Karen overpower people now. It
seemed that there was nobody who could stand against her.
"I wouldn't worry too much about that," she said as she
drove us along a jolting trail down into a valley, along a barely-visible
track and then up a long wooded ridge which finally opened up
into another valley with scattered fields. The drive took nearly
an hour before we halted near some fenced fields and a large barn.
Three people emerged to see who had arrived.
Karen got out of the cab and lifted the guy out of the back of
the pick-up, holding him in her arms. He was starting to move
weakly but was still only semi-conscious
"What happened?" a man came up.
Karen told him.
"I'm sorry," he said. "That's Frank. He's a bit of
a hothead. I never told him to go up and break anything up on the
mountain."
"That's good," Karen said, displaying her strength for
everyone to see as she carried the two hundred pound man across
to the barn before laying him down on some bales of hay. "Because
I don't like to have trouble with my neighbors."
"Mr Cleaver!" A man ran up. "The old stallion has
driven the new colt into those rocks close to the gulley. The
colt's got itself trapped there. But we can't get near it because
the other horse has been driven wild, and wants to attack it.
What'll we do? Even if we can get the other horse away, we'll
probably lose the colt"
"it looks like we'll have to lose one or the other,"
Cleaver said.
"No need," Karen said. "I think I can deal with
this." Before anyone could stop her, Sandwood placed her
hands on the top rail of the five foot six inch high fence and
vaulted her 190 pound frame easily over the top. Landing softly,
she ran toward the trapped colt. Immediately the dark male horse
snorted and turned toward her. The horse was rearing and kicking.
Karen drew her long hands into fists, waiting for the horse to
come down on to all fours. The moment it settled, her fist
whistled.
CRACKKK!. Her right fist slammed into the base of its jaw with
astonishing force, driving the large head round and to the left.
Shocked by the
unexpected power of this blow, from a creature barely a tenth of
its body weight, the horse staggered backward, neighed and reared.
Sandwood backed off two steps until it came back down. Then she
took one stride forward and...
CRAACCCKKK! Her big right arm delivered another massive punch. I
couldn't beleve how hard she could hit when she swung her whole
body into each punch. The horse whinnied in pain, and stumbled
backward in confusion.
Immediately Karen strode forward and unwound two more massive
blows into the horse. Each blow was every bit as hard as the
first two, and each connected just as brutally with the bottom of
the horse's large jaw.
The guys gasped. None of them could believe that Sandwood could
hit so hard, and with such speed and accuracy. She was honing her
mind and body into one precise unit as she concentrated on the
moving horse, calculating the power and direction of her blows so
that they landed exactly where she wanted them to, and with
incredible force. What was even more astonishing was that the
horse staggered again, falling back under the fierce barrage. It
was no longer attempting to rear.
"What are you trying to do?" I cried.
"Control this horse," Karen said. Her face was a mask
of determination, her whole body ready and poised.
"You cant..." I began
"I haven't even hit my best shots yet."
Karen took another step forward and her whole body twisted in
another savage blow.
KERRACKKKK!
It had seemed impossible for even Karen's six feet two inch frame
to hit harder than it had done already. But the amount of power
her heavy arm was generating now was awesome.
The horse staggered sideways, disorientated.
Sandwood was utterly focussed now. Her left struck again, nearly
as hard, knocking the large head around through fifty degrees.
Then her right crashed in with shattering force. Unbelievably the
horse seemed to be dazed by the succession of huge punches. It no
longer seemed able to see Karen or focus on her. It brayed, but
seemed to be struggling to stay on its feet. It stumbled backward.
Its rear legs suddenly buckled and it sat down on the grass,
propped up on its forelegs.
The amazonian blonde watched dispassionately, drawing back her
whole body as her big right arm prepared itself again.
"You can't...." I began
KRACCCCCCKKKOOOWWWW! The eighth punch was the biggest yet. All
the power of her long legs, muscular torso and steely upper body
was added to the mass of muscle in her long arm. Already
disorientated by the first eight massive blows, the horse
stumbled and fell onto its side. It tried to get up, and then
slumped. The watchers were silent as Karen walked up to its head
and went down on one knee. She raised her right arm. KRRUUMMMP!
Karen still had the power to administer a ninth massive punch to
the stallion's head. The horse was still
"You knocked it out!" Cleaver gasped. "With your
bare hands!"
"Shoot. I've never seen anything like that!" the second
man said.
Karen rose to her feet and stood over the unconscious horse. She
stretched out her big, pumped arms, raised them and flexed.
"I've got a hell of a lot of strength in these arms,"
she said. "If I can keep on landing my big punches, then the
combined weight of shot can put down just about anything."
She turned to inspect the fallen horse. "IIt couldn't stop
me ripping in my punches so I was always going to take it down.
I've done it before. A maddened horse back home in the stables.
It took me a few more punches then, but I'm stronger now,"
She turned and approached the trapped colt,
its leg caught in a crevice in the rock. It was nearly as tall as
she was. I watched as she eased its leg free. Then her arms swept
under its body, and she lifted, picking it right up of the ground!
My mouth fell open as she lifted the young horse right out of the
pile of fallen rocks and carried it past the unconscious stallion
and on toward the gate.She whispered softly to calm it as she
carried it across the field toward us. I opened the gate for her
as she carried the three hundred and fifty pound creature out of
the field and into a paddock before she set it down.
Cleaver shut the paddock gate as Karen turned and vaulted the
high fence with ease. Despite her size and weight she vaulted
lithely with nearly a foot of clearance to spare.
The men seemed very wary of this powerful blonde amazon who had
arrived so suddenly in their midst.
Karen took advantage. "I'll be taking care of the injured
horse your man left on my property."
"It's yours. You're welcome," Cleaver said. "And
no one will come troubling you again, I promise."
"Good," Karen said.
