The End is near!!! Well, the showdown is.

Rescue mission

Meanwhile, Kim was still sitting in her cell. She was bored and very annoyed with the whole situation. Indeed, her position was very awkward: she was sure to spend the next weeks in jail. Meanwhile, Louisa would do whatever she was up to and at the same time, destroy Kim’s reputation permanently. Out of despair, she tried to bend the prison bars, but failed to budge them more than an inch apart. Since she was innocent, it seemed best not to pile on offences. Besides, she was vaguely aware of the fact that the police would lock her into a fully closed cell. This way, she could at least enjoy the sights. It wasn’t much, but at least it helped fighting boredom.
Outside, more policemen were arriving. The officers who had arrested her were boasting about their desperate struggle. Somehow, Kim felt a touch of pride when she was described as a “powerhouse”. After the big storytelling, some of the officers came to take a look at her. She felt like an animal in a cage. She looked at them in disgust, when she recognised two of the watchers: They were those who had interviewed her after the burglary.
Kim quickly approached the bars, forcing the policemen to recoil in fear.
“Hey! It’s me. Kim Carland. You’re the officers who saved me from the burglars. Can’t you tell them it wasn’t me who did whatever I’m in for?”
“You’re accused of robbing the central bank yesterday. But say…” Her voice trailed off. She pulled out her cell phone and called someone.
“Hi, it’s Mia. Weren’t you put on patrol yesterday? In the noble district, that’s right. What did you see at the house with the burglary? Yes, I know it’s creepy. But you did see a blonde woman and a guy fucking all night? You did. Great. I don’t care if it was a pretty sight or not. I’ll have the captain call you later.”
The policewoman addressed Kim:
“It looks as if you’re lucky. A good friend of mine can vouch for your presence. I’ll talk to the captain to get you out of your predicament as quickly as possible.”
“Thanks a lot!” Kim was elated. Everything was going to work out. The officer left quickly to talk to her superior.
Kim sat back down, being gaped at by a growing mass of people. Apparently, the recent surge of musclewomen had caused quite an uproar. Minutes later, officer Mia returned, pushed the audience aside and tried to make herself heard. She shouted: “Okay, you can go. It’s been cleared up!” and pushed the opening button for the electric cell door. The door opened for four inches, when the lights went out. All electrical equipment stopped working. Instantly, the shouting increased. Flashlights went on, as did cell phone displays.
Outside, Nina stopped her car. They got out quickly, the city swathed into darkness. Jacob looked around, ran to the police station’s door and opened it. He was greeted by a wave of utter confusion. Due to a total power loss, the phone lines were dead, as were the cell phone masts. Grabbing the next police officer, he quickly asked him about the cell block and ran down the hall. Nina came in seconds later, provoking instant hostile reactions. She put up her hands and shouted a short explanation of her innocence at her gun-toting spectators.
When Jacob finally arrived at the cells, the police officers had mostly left the area. Only the young policewoman remained, trying to get Kim out of the cell. As they pushed at the cell door together, it slowly started to give way. He joined in, helping them free his beloved. At last, the door was open wide enough for Kim to get through. She explained the situation as good as she could, while Jacob informed her about the attack. Finally, Nina arrived, screaming at passing officers that she was indeed innocent, that she was meeting a friend who was just as innocent as she was, and that it would be best for everyone to do their job and put the power back on.
Minutes later, they left the station, driving to Louisa’s home. They had quickly decided to talk to her, and to stop her if possible.

And bricks.

[El_Roy_1999]

And here's a nice little action sequence for everybody!

Attack of the mutant killer assault commandos of doom and stuff!!!

In the middle of the mess, two muscular women had appeared, readying their weapons. Nina jumped aside, barely escaping the first salvo from their guns. The main room’s furniture was quickly shot to pieces. Colleen backed into the bathroom, hiding as best as she could. Jacob dropped to the ground easily. Years of travelling the south had given him certain useful reflexes when faced with automatic fire. As he opened his eyes again, he saw Nina’s massive form cast in the most dynamic pose. She had grabbed the large heating stone and threw it at the assailants with all her might. The perfect trajectory of her swaying hips, the masterfully unwinding muscles of her back and shoulders, all this fell into an elegant display of power akin to the Greek athletes of old.
The brick’s trajectory ended quickly, namely in the face of one of the warrior-women. The muscular attacker collapsed. Her partner advanced, her gasmask cloaking her aggression. She fired at Nina, but the heavy-set woman had rolled into the kitchen. Her opponent went after her, leaning sideways to shoot her target. Just as she pulled the trigger, a wok-pan struck her gun, disarming her.
Nina charged. She grabbed the powerful woman and started squeezing her in a bear hug. She wrapped her large arms around her enemy’s waist and pressed. Meanwhile, Jacob crawled over to the prone woman and hit her again with the brick. He then took her gun away.
As Nina struggled with her opponent, she noticed that her would-be victim had thrown her head back. This caused the strange tube-like contraptions on her harness to empty themselves into her bloodstream with an audible hiss. Nina tried to maintain her grip, but noticed that the woman she was holding started swelling. Indeed, her foe’s muscles grew harder and harder, forcing her arms apart. The red-head desperately struggled to keep the assailant under control, but was quickly forced to concede.
Nina dropped her, falling back a little. Behind the gasmask, an evil sneer leered at her. The camouflage-clad woman grew more and more powerful by the minute. Her once baggy clothes were now tight on her tall body, her back spreading enormously, more than twice the size of her waist. Thick slabs of muscles piled on her athletic frame, her trapezius muscles reaching to her ears. Nina was aghast. The woman roared with triumph, lifting her massive arms and charged.
Or rather meant to charge, for Jacob used this moment to hit her on the head with the rifle’s butt. The woman turned around, throwing an off-hand punch at Jacob, projecting him neatly across the room. He smashed through the Japanese rice-paper walls, crashing into Nina’s bedroom.
The bedroom’s owner grabbed a large kitchen knife and tried to stab her foe into the bag. Her surprise was great when she noticed that the weapon had easily penetrated her clothing and upper skin, but refused to enter any further. She struck again, but the woman’s flesh was too resilient. Once again, the woman whirled around and smashed her fist into Nina’s bulging stomach. However, Nina had anticipated this blow and had flexed her abdominal muscles. She felt nauseated, but held her ground. She advanced on her enemy, once again trying to grab her.
As they struggled, Jacob stirred, got up and looked around. The first thing he noticed was Nina’s underwear, lying around in a basket. He shook his head, touching the spot where he’d been hit. He’d be sore in the morning. He picked up the basket, emptied it and ran at the soldier-woman. Being occupied with Nina, she didn’t notice him. To her surprise, she found herself blinded by the tightly woven pattern.
Nina used her moment of surprise and smashed her fist on her opponent’s chin. The masterful uppercut lifted her foe in the air, sending her crashing to the ground. Jacob then proceeded to beat her senseless with the brick. Nina leaned against the broken kitchen sink, catching her breath, watching the ordeal. Jacob got back up. He clapped his hands and said:
“I guess they’ll be out for a few hours. We have to find Kim!”
“We can take my car, give me ten seconds to get some intact clothes and I’m with you.” As she put on her hakama pants and a new T-shirt, Jacob removed the women’s weapons. He put them into Nina’s sports bag and examined their harnesses. The small containers were still intact, but one set was now empty. He decided to take the full one with him. When the bag was full, he could barely lift it with both hands.
Nina returned, took the bag easily and started running down the stairs. He followed her quickly.
When they had left, Colleen got out of the bathroom. She looked around, wondered where Nina and her guest had gone and left quickly and silently.

[El_Roy_1999]

Fascinating. This looks so cool!

[El_Roy_1999]

She looks cool. I probably wouldn't date her (she's a smoker) but as the germans say, I wouldn't push her off my bed's edge either.

Really nice rendition.

[El_Roy_1999]

I guess I should surprise you, but: All of the above! Small BIG small but Eeevil!

New body image

The woman’s face was distorted by an expression of deep disgust. She sat on the hard Japanese cushion and stared at her ex-schoolmate with utter revulsion. She had expected the worst from Nina, but this had clearly astonished her. When she had opened the door, her obscene form had been somewhat disguised by the oversized kimono, but now, all those awfully ugly muscles were showing amidst layers of fat. Colleen had spent years starving herself and desperately eating right while spending endless days on fat-burning contraptions. She had achieved what none of her schoolmates would have thought possible. Her awkward, bulky form had changed into a thin, lithe and elegant look, her repulsively bloated face had become graceful and sophisticated. Her host smiled broadly at her, letting her powerful throat and neck muscles bulge.
“So you’ve made it big. That’s cool.” Nina was genuinely happy for her designer friend. The last weeks had fulfilled all of her life’s wishes so quickly, she could hardly muster enough hard feelings to try bearing their ancient grudge. Colleen smiled weakly.
“You too. I mean, you’re big. In a physical kind of way.” She avoided Nina’s gaze.
“Do you like it? Look at this.” Nina flexed her enormous arm, showing a bowling ball-sized biceps. Suddenly, Colleen felt violently sick. She excused herself to the bathroom as quickly as possible. Nina felt strange. Her “nemesis” was no longer interesting, and creeping her out was hardly satisfying. Just as she thought about what she should do next, her phone rang.
“Hi Nina, this is Frank. We just wanted to tell you that we have a new version available, and that we can bring it to your place.”
“Great. I can come and pick it up, if you prefer.”
“No problem. We need to get out once in a while, you know. Where shall we bring it to?”
Nina gave them her address. Minutes later, Louisa received a text message, telling her what she wanted to know. She quickly walked over to her assembled troops and ordered two of them to get rid of Nina. The others were sent to the government district, the radio and television stations and to military command. They swarmed out quickly in teams of eight.
Seconds later, Nina’s doorbell rang. Colleen was still in the bathroom, being sick. Jacob stood outside. As soon as Nina opened, his jaw dropped.
“Wow. Are you Nina?” he asked.
“I am, yes. And you are?”
“I’m Jacob.”
“The Jacob? As in Kim’s love interest Jacob?”
“Yes. Can I come in?”
“Sure. Make yourself at home.” That’s a pretty one, she thought. No wonder Kim eventually fell in love with him.
Jacob quickly walked in, then told her about Kim’s fate.
“I already called a lawyer, but since our family advocate just betrayed me, it’s no personal friend, and since I’m penniless now, he won’t quicken his pace.” Nina absorbed the information as quickly as she could.
“Do you know which police station they brought her to? We could go there and see if we can help her.” Jacob nodded, but he had no idea about the policemen’s destination. He suggested phoning the police stations, so as to find out where she had been brought to. Nina searched for the phone book and looked for the relevant numbers. Once she found them, she said:
“You call those, I call the other ones. Since she’s easily recognisable, it won’t be difficult to find out.”
“Sure. By the way, who’s in the bathroom? It sounds awful!”
“It’s a friend of mine. She doesn’t like my looks, I think.” Jacob gave her a surprised look, which lingered longer on her amazing shoulders than necessary and started dialling the first number. After a dozen calls, they actually managed to find out that she’d been brought to the central police station. (There had been some bureaucratic mix-up which made them loose time.) At last, Colleen got out of the bathroom and asked:
“Who is this cute guy? What are you doing?”
“This is Jacob, and we’re looking for…” She couldn’t finish her sentence as her two main windows flew into shards.

[El_Roy_1999]

Righto!
That's exactly what I mean.

[El_Roy_1999]

You are, I hope, aware of the laws of final fantasy boss management?

[El_Roy_1999]

A longer one for today!

Deal with the devil

It was easy to see Jacob’s struggle with himself. He stared blankly at his sister, who barely managed not to laugh. Finally, he lowered his eyes.
“It’s okay. You can have the money. Just leave us alone and don’t destroy my project. It’s not expensive, but I’m really fond of it.”
“It’s fine by me. I’m sorry it’s so out of place, but if you could just step over to my car, we can sign the contract right away.”
She led the way, showing them an older upper class limousine. They got in and found Helena and Mr. Sonborough waiting for them. Louisa signalled the driver to start the car.
“They’re just witnesses, so let’s get it done.”
Minutes later, the papers were signed. Louisa smiled happily, then drove them to her father’s house. As they got out of the car, she lowered the window and added:
“Thanks a lot. By the way, Jacob, I’d really like to see you out of the house by tomorrow and Kim, I heard the police are looking for a woman your size. I took the liberty of calling them, to clear this up. Enjoy the anti-terrorist legislation and be sure to get a newspaper tomorrow!” The car drove away, just as the police arrived.
As the policemen desperately struggled to subdue the enormous blonde, she shouted for help and implored Jacob to see Nina. At last, a group of twelve policemen managed to tackle her and hit her with pepper spray. She howled and screamed, but Jacob couldn’t help her since he was being watched by two police officers, waiting for the fight to end. He tried to get closer, but the policemen just pushed him back, occasionally lifting their truncheons.
Kim was carried into the meat wagon and driven away. She was quickly transported to the police station and identified. Her personal belongings were taken and registered and she quickly found herself in a single cell. She was not allowed a phone call due to anti-terrorist laws. After bringing her to her cell, the policemen left here there to get her to calm down and to make her “easier” to question later.
Kim calmed down quickly. She really wondered what had happened and why she was being arrested and shouted for her attorney. One of the policemen went over to the cell and explained the consequences of the current legislation to her, all the while staying at arms length of the cell’s bars.
Meanwhile, Louisa was elated. It had all worked out perfectly. She had the money, she had disposed of her guinea-pig, and now, her master-plan would come to fruition. She ordered her driver to take her to headquarters. When the car arrived at the elegant domain outside the city, she recapitulated her plans for tonight. The massive cast-iron gate swung open silently. The order had provided her with excellent training grounds, but had been easily deceived into preparing subjects loyal only to her. As the limousine approached the main building, the distant sound of gun-fire was heard. Louisa’s force was getting ready. She checked her make-up and got out of the car.
As she reached the council chamber, she quickly assessed the situation. The other members of the order were here, enjoying their wine and cigars. She sat down, crossed her legs and asked the chambermaid to get her a glass of whiskey on the rocks. Hard facts needed hard drinks. After taking a sip, she turned to the rotund forms of her co-conspirators and smiled. They wouldn’t put up much of a fight.
“Gentlemen. As you have seen yesterday, the project is ready. It has been tested, evaluated and successfully used in public. We are ready to strike.” The audience was clearly happy about this and smiled gently at the young upstart. “Due to my preparations, funding is no longer an issue. Indeed, it makes me unsure whether your part in the whole operation is not over-valued.” She smiled grimly. The elder members of the order stirred, one of them, Alphonse Mackham, actually got up and asked:
”What are you insinuating? We offered you all the support you needed. Of course, we expected such a talented young woman to cope with the fickle challenges of financing!”
“I’m very grateful for your compliment, my dear Alphonse, but still I am unsure whether your future involvement is necessary. Let me put it this way…” She pushed a preset dialing button on her cell-phone. Instantly, the whole area was bustling with activity. Seconds later, several agents secured the entrances to the council-chambers. They were invariably female, tall and dressed in wide urban camouflage suits. The expert eye would undoubtedly recognise that each one of them was well-muscled and trained to fight. They carried large rifles, modern and clearly too heavy for the average soldier. On top of their suits, they wore black combat harnesses, studded with several small steel containers, each one containing a dull red liquid. Their faces were covered by black gasmasks.
“…I think that it’s time for you to retire.” She turned on her heels and left the room. Inside, screams were heard, sometimes punctuated by gunfire. Everything was perfect. She called Helena, offered her a cigarette and smiled. They sat there smoking while they waited that the noise would calm down. Suddenly her phone rang.
“Yes? Oh, hello Frank. What’s up? I’m just in the final phase of testing your invention.”
“That’s great. By the way, we’re doing some further testing on our own.”
“More animals?”
“No, no, we’re done with that. We wanted to tell you about it, but we couldn’t reach you. We have another human guinea-pig.”
Louisa’s mood fell.
“Another human? Who?”
“It’s one of Kim’s friends. A classy lady called Nina. She’s cool. It’s working perfectly with her.”
“Are you saying that there is someone else who knows about the formula?”
Frank felt threatened and stuttered:
“Well, she doesn’t know about the technical details, but she does know that it exists and how to use it. That’s not bad, is it?”
Louisa recovered her composure as Helena held her free hand.
“No. Not at all. It’s no problem that there is a person who knows about my plan. No problem whatsoever. Everything is perfectly fine!” The woman almost shouted the last words. A very intimidated Frank said:
“The worst is, I don’t even know her full name. But I assure you, she doesn’t give anything about your plan. She’s all about looks. Very superficial. No problem at all. We’ll see if we can find her, okay?”
“Definitely. As soon as you know were she lives, give me a call.”

Once again, I'll have to skip today, but there'll be more stuff tomorrow.

Sorry
