Belly Punching Contest: Kyoko & Honie

[dddybee]

Honie gave each of those five punches her all, absolutely bashing and battering Kyoko's abs, letting the Belly Queen know how much of a threat Beatrice really was. Each punch made a loud impact, prompting a satisfying groan from Kyoko each time. After the hits were complete, Kyoko was staggering a fair bit. But despite being shaken up by the heavyweight's power, the Belly Queen was still holding on strong. Despite clearly being in a lot of pain, she even smiled at the brawny, busty bee.

The friendly insect was of course happy about that. But her goal of trying to figure Kyoko out more was now firmly coupled with the bee's desire to win this contest. The competitive atmosphere had really gotten Honie fired up, and the middleweight's banter was aiding that! "Hope you're happy with this heroine's fists!" Honie chirped confidently. "We're starting the number cycle over again, so bring it on!" But in truth, Kyoko's words held a good deal of weight. As tough as Honie's spirt was, as tough was her abs were, that muscular tissue was still aching like crazy. Honie's didn't know how many more punches she could take from Kyoko, before being forced to a knee. She'd have to try and end this contest soon. But at the moment, it was Kyoko's turn. Honie braced her sore abs and got ready for a single punch.

Kyoko was up and preparing herself, despite the confident chatting from Honie was confident that she had struck a few good ones and had Honie hurting. Once she found the opening she needed Kyoko would hammer those abs into submission and force Honie to her knees. "I know, it might actually keep you up longer, but we'll see how you stack to other heroines." Kyoko said winding her arm while she prepared herself for her next move. All it took was one good punch and this would be over.

Deciding to just go all in on the center and see how it held up Kyoko eyed Honie's abs and would aim high, hitting in the upper part of her core with one hard right punch. She would push her fist in as much as possible and try to smash those abs to put them to the test. With fewer hits she had to make all of them count until they reached a higher number again, but she still wanted to see if she could bring Honie down now.

As this belly punching contest continued, it was time to restart the count for the number of punches. Though Ms. Bea didn't openly reveal this, she was kind of relieved Kyoko wouldn't be pounding her multiple times, at least for the time being. But the Belly Queen made sure to let her single blow count! "OHHAAAAUGHH!" Honie groaned, feeling Kyoko's fist sink deep into her upper abs. The purple-haired girl tactic of pushing her punch in as much as possible effectively winded the Heroine of the Beehive!

And with that Kyoko would get her first clear sign she was close to potentially dropping Honie. The bee's knees shook. It was just for a moment, and Honie stood somewhat firmly again, after staggering back a bit. But it was still significant progress. In order to reclaim her air, the heavyweight took deep breaths, before addressing her adversary. "Well you told me how you got your abs, but how did you learn to punch like that?" Honie asked. "You hit pretty buzzing hard. And that means a lot coming from me. Haha."

[Fairy Dragon]

Honie's screams showed what her knees confirmed with how she started to falter. The body could take many more punches but doing so without falling was the part that seemed to be the question Honie was asking herself after feeling another punch from Kyoko. The Belly Queen knew her limits and was ready to make Honie feel it before she finally had to fall, despite the pain in her stomach she felt confident in her odds knowing she had been here before and the Heroine was just trying things out.

"When I went to America for the first time I joined a fight club recommended by my mother. Named after a fruit, Mango if you can believe it. Silly name but it had some of the best young fighters all in one place. Boxers, Mixed martial artists, wrestlers of all kinds learning the trade in a place that had all the resources you needed. Of those people I made a few friends like a girl named Andy who was learning MMA but also knew how to box and still has one of the strongest punches I've ever seen showed me a few things about how to crumble castle walls with my fists. Judging from the look on your face, it's working." Kyoko said waiting for her turn so she could get right back into the action. She knew that she was giving Honie time to rest answering her questions but she couldn't help answering them now.

[dddybee]

With the subtle yet significant shaking of her knees, Honie was the first to show a sign of beginning to falter. She needed to end this contest as soon as possible, without being the one of drop to her knees. If she didn't, Kyoko's superior level of experience would really start to put the bee on the back foot. While this wasn't her initial intention, at least getting Kyoko to talk more brought Honie more recovery time. Whether it was due to Honie herself or to simply being interested in the topic, the Belly Queen seemed a bit more willing to open up at this point. Honie smiled and listened genuinely, as Kyoko explained exactly how she learned how to punch so hard, and saying the training was working on Honie.

"Hehe. I guess you could say that." The heroine admitted. "Though you seem cynical, I'm happy you have formed healthy, supportive relationships that have made you stronger. That being said...SO HAVE I." Beatrice balled her fist, to prepare to show Kyoko went she meant through action. When Honie took a swing at the middleweight, went down low and came up at an angle. With the full force of her body, the brawny bee would send an uppercut to the center of Kyoko's abs. And the upwards force was angled in such a way, as to smack Kyoko clean off of her feet! Honie's strategy was clear. She hoped that when Kyoko's boots hit the floor again, the effects of the punch would force the Belly Queen to drop to her knees as well. And after pulling her fist out of Kyoko's belly, Honie waited in anticipation for the results of her little tactic!

[Fairy Dragon]

Honie was resting, taking the time she was given from Kyoko's explanations to recover a bit of ground. It was her own arrogance that she knew this but was still allowing it, complete confidence in her ability to win her own namesake like this. Kyoko watched Honie and could tell that she was actually listening to all of this, Andy hadn't come up in any conversation recently and it reminded her that she needed to give the blonde a call. After this she would, maybe she'd do it while Honie was still honoring her deal, but prepared herself for when Honie told her that she had relationships that made her stronger...before proving it with a big uppercut that hit Kyoko dead on.

"Gaaugghh!" Kyoko gasped her body folding as the uppercut fired its way into her abs and pushed through it like it was made of metal. She felt something get caught up in her stomach and for a moment she thought she was going to puke. The pain grew and spread across her stomach making Kyoko take a step back, but despite that her abs didn't buckle or yield with it. She was hurt and it surprised her and Honie's fist was inching closer and closer to the center, but the Belly Queen was still standing and straightened up to look right at Honie with a pained smirk. "Did they make you strong enough?" Kyoko asked trying not to cough and interrupt her words while she maintained eye contact with the Heroine.

[dddybee]

Honie was hoping that her uppercut would finally do Kyoko in. That pounding the middleweight so hard that she was lifted off the ground, would finally cause the Belly Queen to fall to her knees. But despite the punch clearly making a very heavy impact on Kyoko, the purple-haired woman endured. She only took one step back, before remaining right on her feet. If Kyoko was more hurt than she let on, she sure did a fine job not letting that show. Honie's eyes widened at her opponent in shock. The Heroine of the Beehive was strong. VERY strong. Someone taking so many hard strikes from her was completely unprecedented. Though here the Belly Queen was, sporting abs that could do just that! "B-B-But...You...I..." Honie stuttered, before Kyoko asked her that question. "HOW?! HOW ARE YOU STILL ON YOUR FEET?!"

The heavyweight was starting to get a bit tired. She let out a long sigh, before continuing to answer. "I had friends that supported me, as I fought back against bullies growing up. I have friends that still support me, as I now continue my journey through LAW. That's why I tweeted that message about being supportive. It's important to me. These relationships did make me really strong. But as evident by that last punch failing to put you out of commission, I guess I still have some room to grow even stronger, heh? Hehehe." Honie said humbly. "But this isn't over yet! Hit me with your best two shots!" Still hanging in there, the bee braced her steel abs to prepare for Kyoko's next turn!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko continued to smirk, albeit through lips that remained somewhat in pain after the various punches she had taken all with the kind of strength that could break someone's jaw. It was all worth it with how Honie seemed to freeze up in a way that mimicked many people of her past when they thought they reached Kyoko's breaking point and found out that the Belly Queen simply had more in the tank. "Back at my old gym, with the girl I mentioned earlier we had a locker room challenge called the tenderizer...It was just like this only we did 2 punches each every time. Once you have to learn to endure punches from people like that, you learn how to survive raw power or you end up on the floor over and over again." Kyoko said comparing how she learned with her friends vs Honie's idea of support.

"Your friends sound like they've gotten you far but they're not here...so lets hope that support reaches you, because here's another secret. Even with girls like Andy and a plethora of other fighters who took me on in that tenderizer including the one who ended up being my girlfriend Fallon, I still never lost that tenderizer...2 punches is all I need." Kyoko said before trying to prove it. She would go low to surprise Honie with a hard left and hitting her right above her waist, before she would follow that up with the real goal of an uppercut that would hit way higher and try to knock Honie off balance and dig into her abs as hard as she possibly could.

[dddybee]

Honie indeed had been flabbergasted by her smaller adversary's endurance to punches that had been the bane of many of the bee's foes. But Kyoko explained how she was taking them. It was all in experience. The Belly Queen had regularly been around the block, taking brutal blows in many belly punching contests, over and over again. She simply had more experience in taking hits to her muscular core. While this competition had become somewhat of a distractor, Honie remembered her initial goal of trying to break through the middleweight's cynical nature. So the heroine went ahead and talked about her idea of support, and listened to Kyoko's response. But before Honie could respond in turn, it became clear Kyoko was ready to punch her again!

"GAAAH!" Honie exclaimed. The purple puncher's first blow hit the bee above her waist, shaking her up for Kyoko's main attack. That second punch was a high uppercut that really sank into her abs, successfully throwing Honie off balance! "UGGGHHH!" Ms. Bea staggered to the side, her knees shaking. The only thing that prevented her from finally going down, was a nearby wall. Swallowing her pride, Honie finally took Kyoko's pervious advice and opted to lean on it a bit. "Owwwwwwww...." Honie groaned, rubbing her sore core. "Even if they're not here, I always carry what I've learned from my friends with me. And judging from what you said, are you not the same way? Regarding your tweet, if you understand how support works, why'd you predict my attitude would get me treated poorly. Not just from those I try to support, but by fans as well?"

[Fairy Dragon]

More and more signs of Honie's breakdown continued, soon she was leaning on the wall watching her and trying to keep herself up. It was tempting for her too, but now that she had a sign she wanted to mess with Honie by pretending she didn't need or even want it. Still she was asking pointed questions and trying to dissect what Kyoko's thoughts and feelings were centered around. Her question cut into things a little and took the smile off her for a second, leaving a little flash of anger that gave away a bit of personal rage to her thoughts.

"Because the people you try to support are people you barely know. My friendships are made outside of this arena or this company and I know I can rely on them. These fans know little about me, these wrestlers know little about me, and while they may act friendly most of them are willing to turn on you the minute they think it can keep them on certain people's good side or advance their career. You are just someone they like now but sooner or later someone will get sick of you, then another person will until they've all turned right around and rejected the Heroine. Making connections in places like this or with fans is worthless and detrimental to your longterm health." Kyoko said. Clearly speaking from experience that was closer to what Honie was looking for all this time.
