Riley, listening intently to Akui, was amazed to hear that a little yet badass chick like her could be the leader of a gang. Then again, the fact that what she said was true, it makes it someone senseful, albeit to Riley, she’d probably believe anything this chick said for a chance at at least the first kiss. While Akui talked, she had chomped down upon the two burgers, and with some tact intact, slurped down the entire soda-pop. When she was asked if there was a supposed legend behind her fists, she got excited.
“I wouldn’t really call them legendary, not quite yet. While I might be the world champion in the whole boxing sport thing, It wasn’t that hard. I just hit harder then them, and that’s what makes it so much easier to win. Also, woman and fanus. Making me the first fanus and woman champion, which isn’t all that impressive. The rest of them are just wimps, few of them put up good fights. In fact, I’ll tell you about the only one who got near beating me.
His name is Enrique Martinez, far from me to pretend to know how to say his middle name. He had an unbeaten record before he got lined up to face me, and we had come to a mutual agreement. Not holding back. Now, to give you an idea. This guy, tan skin and about 6’4, same weight-class as I was. Bit bigger, but both of us knew that neither of us were stupid. So, what did we do? Train in the same gym, so that no one could target me, not him either. I had supporters that threatened death if he actually went through with the fight.
He could punch straight through a bag, his punches had piercing power unlike my punches, which had force. I could hit the bags off the chains and sometimes break them, but the fact is, he had far more piercing power, and with the power he had, I, honest to the boxing god himself, was not sure how I was going to win. I was legitimately nervous that he’d knock me out with a few punches; even with my strength punches.”
She ate her protien bars, and continued her rather long story.
“So, two days before the match, and we’re sitting, resting while talking. We had made sure that we had not fought until the big fight, but we had each seen the others signature punches. I had my right hook, which was neight lethal and extremely fast, but he has his liver shot. Something that took a ton of people out. I heard one person had died, and it just multiplied his piercing power. Yet, I was the one person people considered a possible equal to the man. My sheer force behind a punch registered higher than his, but his also usually broke people when he hit with them.
Especially when they had like swayed into it. The punch wasn’t nearly as scary as the man’s timing. Especially considering that his power alone allowed him to punch through bags, so imagine that, but timed correctly. However. This also meant he rarely did it unless the opponent dodged into it, which was hard not to do considering his power. A right hook from him felt like a right hook from 6 other boxers.
Couldn’t be bothered to run away from this fight, and boxing gloves allowed me to go actually all out. I didn’t have to worry about harming my hands as much as I had to worry about taking body shots. Makes a giant difference. Our boxing style was also different. While he dances, my movements were more violent.” This was all being said excitedly, and the story wasn’t finished. She hadn’t gotten to the most exciting part yet.
“So, it’s the day of the fight, and I get backed up and shoved into an alley by a few people, and not wanting an battery charge, I let ‘em back me up into a corner. I was ready to throw them a solid one two, but then they grabbed my arm and jerked it, and I heard a crack in my arm and a sudden surge of pain. I looked over, and like that night with Eli-” A solid note of sadness came into Riley’s voice and she didn’t finished the thought with Elise, and shook her head, thinking about the rest of the story.
“In comes Enrique himself, after my arm had been fractured, and takes them down with startling speed and strength, but most of all, technique.The most important part was that he saved his opponent, and spoke in a rather deep voice. “Do you want to postpone the fight? Your arm… doesn’t look right.”” She had spoken Enrique in the deepest voice she could muster, which was scarily close to a man's, but not as deep as Enriques was… what, four years ago or so? No, no, it must have been even sooner than that, a year at most.
A familiar pain finally tore into her notice as she grasped her own right shoulder. Old scars heal with time, and time was taking itself.
“I shook my head, and snapped it back in place. I wouldn’t deprive the crowds of this, especially not when it could be healed by a quick visit to my momma. I told him that I’d be fine by the time, that I had a momma that’d heal me right up. I went to my momma and she healed me, but she said something. She told me that I ain’t gonna be 100% for a good 6 hours, the fight was in five, so I went to Enrique and told him to hold the fight off for an hour if possible.
Enrique agreed, and I rested for a few hours. Boy were those some hours. I just sat and rested. At the sixth hour, twenty minutes before the postponed fight, I went up to a punching machine and punched it as hard as I could. I broke it. I was at least 95% ready for the fight if not 100%. We got into the ring shortly after, I was red trunks, he was blue trunks. We went at it, and my right hook connected to his chin and he fell back and hit the ropes. After I tried to go in, he dodged back and forth, weaving his head.
This happened a few times, round after round. The biggest round? Nineth round. It was a 10 round fight and it was the 9th round. I had tired out somewhat, so he took advantage and started pushing and punching. He managed to land his signature liver punch while I managed to land my right hook, and we both fell.
I got up at 9, he got up at 9, we had survived each other's signature punch. I go in for another right hook, and he hits another liver shot. I hit the ropes and grasp onto them while having a hard time breathing, while he does the same. It was the closest fight, but I had a trick. My punches were more violent, so I just ran at him with all I had and started throwing lefts and rights, and even though they were being dodged, it was clear that one was going to hit. With ten. TEN. Seconds left, I hit him with a right jab, and he fell back, and the fight was called off, and I slumpped down on the ropes.” She had her exited streak back, but the story was almost over, “I had become the champion. Yet, I still respect Enrique this day.”
She noticed Lunch was soon ending, but waited to Akui to respond.
(Twas supposed to be longer, but time constraints.)
