When Rivals Clash by Crossmanx at - crossmanx@hotmail.co.uk - comments and ideas welcome. The same rivals but now with new differences, that still need to be sorted! When Rivals Clash The tall blond man grabbed his towel and wiped his face, it had been a hard workout and was glad that it had come to an end, not that he hadn't enjoyed it, he had, but still he was glad it was over. He was inside Terry's Gym, a well-known establishment, to 'certain people', just off of the city centre, and he was in the 'normal' part of the gym and had just finished his session for the day. He looked over to a door at the end of the gym in the far wall, there wasn't much to it, it was just a door, but around here there was something special about 'that' door. Just, as if on que, it opened and out walked three women, all talking and laughing amounts themselves. The first was a tall black woman, stunning to look at but with an obvious attitude, if you dare look to closely at her. The next woman was an older woman, attractive and someone who was seen a lot of the time wearing an old beige raincoat, even when the weather was fine. Both these women where strong, almost tough looking, but in a strange, attractive way, with their firm, toned, developed bodies and their air of total confidence. The kind of women who could stop a man dead in his tracks with just the look they gave him, a look that would make any man shiver with a touch of unease. The kind of women to be kept clear of if you knew what was good for you! With them and the third women in this little group, was a good-looking brunette, a woman in her late 20's who was untying her ponytail and running her hands through her long hair. She was well known to the man, after all she was his girlfriend, partner, whatever was the current correct phrase to use nowadays. But even though they were a 'couple' he was not allowed to go through that door into the 'private members' part and use the 'facilities' there. In fact, here at Terry's Gym, no man was allowed through that door, useless it was 'authorised' by a few select women who belonged to this very special members own part of the gym! (Reader may wish to read the previous stories about Terry's Gym, When Rivals Meet, Induction Time, Training Session & Gym Visit) The man was not over keen about 'his girl' going off on her own and through that door and then coming out with 'those' other women. There were wild rumours about what goes on through that door, 'women on the rampage' if you believed all that, fights, contests, matches and beatings going on between men and women. The problem was that he did believe a lot of this, as he and his girlfriend where not adverse to taking their disagreement to a more physical conclusion! In fact, so far, the couple and sorted out a number of issues such as toilet seat position, up or down, holiday location, who had control of the TV remote and a few other minor things. All sorted out by use of their fists! Currently the woman was in the lead, she claimed more victories than the man, and was defiantly the one in charge in this relationship! (Reader may wish to read the previous story feature the couple 'When Rivals Meets). In fact, on a couple of earlier 'disagreements' the couple had used another part of Terry's Gym, the area off to the other side, a large room the contained a boxing ring. Nothing wrong in that, after all this was a gym, and this room was used by a proper boxing club and for some very minor sporting events. But every now and again it was used for some 'special' events, sessions, as well. As both of them were members here at the gym they had got to know of the 'other side' of the gym and booked the room to sort out their differences! Each time it had been the woman that had stepped out of the ring victorious, leaving her battered 'other half' inside and out for the count! It had been the couple's arguments, their clashes, that had brought the man and the woman to the attention of the black woman and her friend the older woman. JJ and Alison had taken a liking to the brunette and now she was being shown what went on, on the other side of 'that door!' The brunette was now a member in her own right of this select 'private members group!' And this had niggled at the man, as in the past he and his girlfriend had enjoyed going to the gym 'together' now she seemed to be 'taken away' and through that door every time they came here. He was beginning to not like this, in fact, he was finding it annoying and he knew there was another argument brewing up because of this! Laster after this, separate, session at the gym and once they had got home there was an obvious tension in the air, nothing was said, it didn't need to be and the silence was deafening! He was showing his displeasure, by being moody, at how 'she' was behaving at the gym by going off on her own! And she was ignoring his immature behaviour by blanking him and acting as if he wasn't there! For the rest of that evening hardly a word was spoken between them, in fact, nothing was said. They both knew what it was all about and that something, even something very little, would set the situation off and then things would 'happen!' Somehow, they got through the evening without any incidents, but only just and then it was time for bed. As they both got ready the tension was still there, the woman had stepped out of the en-suite after brushing her teeth, in just her panties and an old top on, and now just looked over at the man. He was in just his normal dark shorts, and on the other side of the bed, staring back at her. They must had stood there, just looking at each other for an age, knowing that it was all so close to boiling over, so very close. She decided to ignore him, she didn't want to put up with his childish mood like this and went over to adjust the room thermostat as it felt a bit chilly tonight. Or was it just the vibes that her boyfriend was giving off, either way she wanted the heat turning up. 'Well if she wanted the heat turning up he was happy to oblige!' For whatever reason this act of adjusting the room temperature was the catalyst to start an argument. He was warm enough and went storming over to where she stood adjusting the temperature and THUD! His hand came down, covering her hand on the thermostat, stopping her from moving that dial. He stood there looking at her, his face, his tight lips, the frown on his brow all showing his dissatisfaction at her act. "it's just fine there's no need to ... ... " THUD! OOOWWWHHH! One of the woman's hands might have been held down against the thermostat, but she still had her other hand free. The moment his hand came down on hers, she'd clenched her fist, tried to count to 10, she was giving him a chance to back away from his mistake. But it didn't work, she couldn't hold back, so after getting to 4, 'he deserved this!' and with that she'd send her fist into the side of his body, taking him unaware and now showing her dissatisfaction at his act! The sharp blow made the tall blond man jolt, his hand came off of hers and now she formed her second fist ready to go into action. The brunette twisted her body and brought her fist away from the thermostat and SMACK! Straight into the man's face, two sharp, painful blows one after the other, to his side and his face, he was stunned and staggered backwards a couple of steps. This gave the woman her chance to move in and hurt him some more. She stepped forward, drove her knee up and high, aiming for his exposed stomach as he went back WHACK! But he got his move in first, thinking quickly he realised she would carry on with her attack, he knew her too well, so as he staggered back he lashed out with his arms. Knowing she would be onto him, he went to fend her off whilst he regained his balance. It'd worked the brunette had received the back of his hand across her face as she came in close. It had been a hard blow, the man didn't hold back when lashing out, and it'd caught her by surprise. The blow had sent her off balance, as she'd tried to bring her knee up, and now she was the one sent tumbling backwards, but before she could fall over, he reached out and grabbed her. Not to save her from falling, 'No', he grabbed her hard, two strong hands around her neck, he grabbed her to take control. He gripped her firmly, around her neck, pressing against her throat, his hands tightened and he could see a glint of fear in her eyes, he liked that. Her hands came up, grabbed his and tried to break his hold, but he was too strong and now he was draining her of vital air. He knew with this hold her strength and determination would also soon fade away and he would be the victor! Then, still hold her around her throat, he pulled her upwards off her feet and swung her around, and CRASH! Drove the brunette straight into the solid double doors of the large wardrobe, being thrown into the hard-wooded object jolted the woman and shocked her, CRASH! It had the same effect on her when he pulled her back and throw her against it again, still with his hands tightening and denied her any valuable air. He raised his arms up, even higher, so lifting the woman up off of the floor, her legs thrashing around with nothing to stand on, even more amusement for him. 'This was definitely one argument that he would ... ... ' CRUNCH! OOOWWWHHH! Was it his over confidence in how he was doing in the argument, or was it her patients, in a difficult circumstance, just waiting for the right moment? Probably it was a case of just good luck, on her part, as the woman was panicking, and as he'd lifted her up off of the ground, her legs kicking out and one well placed, if not deliberate, knee came up and caught him just right! OOOWWWWWW! The 'tap' to his groin was enough to make him shudder, take in concentration away and make him loosen the hold he had around her neck. She dropped to her feet, on the floor, quickly she took in much needed air 'that was good!' WHACK! But the man wasn't hurt that much, just taken by surprise and able to still lash out, which he did. Another hard backhand came flying her way and caught her just right, knocking her hard, cutting her tender lip and sending her over and dropping the brunette down to the floor by the bed. As she hit the floor she was hurt, sore around her throat, her lip stung and she felt humiliated, at being flung around by him, she was also angry! She also felt ... ... OOOOOWWWWW! The man had quickly regained his composure and now acted even faster in getting his own back, after that little 'tap' she gave him. Reaching out he grabbed onto the woman's long hair, and now wrenched her upwards so he could deal with her! There was nothing gentle about the way she came quickly up, calling out in pain and holding onto her painful hair as it was almost pulled out of her scalp. But even though it was hurting her, she still had her other hand free, a free hand that now took revenge and CRUNCH! UUUUHHHHH! As she was being dragged up the brunette drove her fist, hard, straight into the middle of the man's shorts, getting him right where it hurts and making his suffer! The blow almost took the blond man off his feet, it was certainly agonising for him and took his breath away. Making his shudder and for a brief moment, as he was bent halfway over, he froze. For a moment, he was like a statue, he held himself there for a second or two, that must have been one of, if not, the hardest blows he'd taken, to 'that' area, from her. She'd fell to her knees and looked up, she smiled, as the man with his eyes tightly closed now exhaled, then dropped down to his knees, and as he came down WHACK! OOOWWW! The woman returned the backhand across his face, and knocking his head off to the side. As his head bounced back from that blow he opened his eyes, just in time to see the brunette, now knelt in front of him, reach out and OOOOUUCCHH! She'd grabbed onto a handful of his hair, harshly, pulled his head to the side sharply then dragged it downwards. As his head was pulled down CRACK! Her clenched fist came upwards and the two met, a hard, painful meeting between her fist and his face! He felt his nose instantly throb and fill up, a trickle of blood ran down and over his lip. he could taste the red fluid in his mouth, but this sensation was overtaken by THUD! As another fist drove up, even harder into his face, the woman was on a roll and wasn't going to stop now THUD! Again, she pounded him, and even grinned about it as she hammered his face for a third time, 'oh well what the hell, once more for good luck!' THUD! OOOOOWWWWW! 'That last one felt good', for her, she put a lot of frustration behind that fist into his face, and he'd felt it. The couple still knelt there in front of each other, where definitely sorting out their differences in a carful, mature manner! The woman was smiling, the man was stunned, hurt and quite probably on the losing end of this current argument. The brunette pulled the mans battered, bloody face and head upright so she could look at him. Letting go of his hair, he staggers and wavers around there, the shock of those hard fists having drained and damaged him, but she wasn't finished, CRACK! OOOOHHHH! She drove her own head forward and slammed her forehead straight into the bridge of his nose, which exploded as she struck him. The man's face felt as if it been hit by a runaway train and his head spun around like a merry-go-round. He swayed from side to side, then THUD! He fell, dropping fully to the floor in a heap, where he lay, waiting for his head to stop spinning. But he was still conscious, still capable of feeling pain and she was determined that was what he was going to do! She pushed herself back up onto her feet, grabbed him by his hair and dragged her loaf of a boyfriend across the bedroom. She placed him where she wanted him, put him in just the right position, then with both hands she held the thick, solid door of the wardrobe. She looked down at her battered partner, smiled and WHACK! CRUNCH! THUD! SMACK!She drove that hard wardrobe door backwards and forwards, slamming it as hard as she could into the man's face, again and again and again! She didn't stop until his face was just a bloody mess, until he was out cold and even then, she used all her strength for one last CRACK! The bottom of the door broken, splintered, cracked, a broken door and a broken man, the woman was satisfied with that, more so she was delighted to have won yet another argument! Now it was time to go to bed, but one last thing, there's nothing better than kicking a man when he's down WHACK! Or kicking him twice! THUD! Now she had control of the thermostat, so everything was just fine. She stepped over the man, leaving him there, where he belonged and got into bed. She wrapped herself up in the quilt and wondered to herself how she could annoy her boyfriend again, just so she could then take out her anger on him, again. She was quite beginning to enjoy these 'arguments', especially as she was winning them all. But it didn't really mater she was sure any old excuse would come up and allow her to have some fun, soon! As she began to drift off an idea came to her, 'Hmmmm, that would be good ... ... !' It was much, much later when the man finally came too, his body hurt, this face and head throbbing as if he'd been runover by a tank. His pride was, again, dented as he'd lost another 'argument' with the brunette 'dame!' It took a while for him to recover, he lay there for a long time trying to get all his faculties back and letting the pain subside. During which he realised that he wasn't in his bedroom, he was lying on the floor, he expected that, but he certainly wasn't on the bedroom floor! The room was dark, pitch black, cold and the floor was hard, no carpet, strange. Finally, he managed to get himself up onto his feet, and then to move and feel around his surroundings in the dark. There were various different 'things' objects all around him, almost as if he was in some storeroom? It didn't make any sense to him as he tried desperately to find his way around in the dark. Then suddenly a small glimpse of light appeared, from under a 'door?' He found a wall and moved around to the light and the door, then found a handle, 'great!' He pulled on the handle, the door opened and the bright light flooded in, he closed his eyes as he'd not been ready for the brightness and slowly he got used to it. Then he began to open his eyes up more and more, until he could now see where he was, 'OH!' The man had stepped out into a large room with a high celling, a room that somehow seemed familiar, not that he'd ever been in this room before, but there was something about it. As his eyes got use to the light he could see there were a number of doors around the room, and windows up high along the tops of the walls. The room had some sports, fitness equipment around the edge, along the walls and the main area, the centre of the room, was empty apart from a large blue matted area. The kind of mats used in some sports halls, gyms, a martial arts club maybe, that sort of thing. The kind of mats he'd seen in Terry's Gym when he'd been there! The penny dropped, as he realised that he was indeed in Terry's Gym, but not the part he'd been in before, the part he was used to. This must be that area, the 'private member's' area, this was what was on the other side of 'that door!' His first thoughts were 'how did I get here? and 'why was I in a storeroom?' These were quickly replaced by a realisation that he was in fact, not alone, as his eyes now fell onto two figures that appeared in the middle of the room and were looking at him. The first was that of a tall black woman, a strong looking, tall black woman, with her long dark hair and dressed in a pair of blue martial arts trousers and a yellow crop top. With her arms folded she looked a towering powerful woman, with a shapely body on show and intimidating him with the formidable look she had on her attractive face. Next to her was an older woman, and she looked just as daunting, just as menacing, stood there with her hands on her firm hips. Her piercing eyes were fixed on him and her good-looking face was set in a hard, daunting grin. She was dressed in a matching set of beige tight shorts and a tight top, her toned, sharp body for all to see. JJ and Alison looked at each other and then back at the tall, but not yet fully broken, blond man, then the two women, slowly, made their way across the matted area towards him. The man froze as a sudden feeling of impending doom came over him ... ... !
