Rivals - The New Girl (part 1 of 2) written by Jeri
"Oomph!" said Crissy as she fell back onto the mat for the second time during the bout.
Crissy was definitely losing this bout. Her opponent was much more skilled than she was. In fact, her opponent was practically the best in the college, even well outside her weight class.
It was early in Crissy and Amber's junior year in college. They were again on the kickboxing team. However, they decided to drop out of gymnastics altogether to concentrate on their kickboxing. They still did their gymnastics exercises, but they were just doing them to maintain their muscle tone and agility.
It was not too surprising that their sports careers were paralleling each other's, as they were very close friends and were both interested in the same activities. In fact, they shared most of these activities, including their own private stomach-punching club, with the two of them as the only members. They got together at least every Saturday in Crissy's soundproof dorm room to practice their kickboxing, usually using each other as human punching bags. They had been doing this for almost two years, so they both had exquisitely toned stomachs. Near the end of the previous school year, they had just started to break through their plateau in kickboxing, where they had stagnated in kickboxing ability for a few months. They were again making rapid progress in their skills.
Last spring, during their kickboxing plateau, Crissy and Amber were starting to get bored with their stomach punching contests since they were both getting so good their blows couldn't get through each other's stomach muscles. Their kicks and punches weren't really effective against each other's well-toned stomachs. It took the attack on Amber in the Arboretum to liven up their contests.
Amber had been attacked in the Arboretum by a bunch of girls envious of her fighting abilities. They had attacked her with kicks and punches to the stomach. This was usually something that Amber's splendid stomach muscles could shrug off. However, Crissy and Amber had only thrown a couple punches in a row at each other's stomach, while the girls who attacked Amber kept up punching her continuously with many blows. This technique eventually penetrated even Amber's stomach muscles, which Crissy hadn't been able to do. The girls also used weapons, specifically police batons and stun guns on Amber. This, of course, even the most steeled stomach muscles couldn't resist.
When Crissy and Amber re-started their contests, it was Amber who added the police "toys" to their contests. This allowed them to once again be effective in their stomach attacks on each other. They also decided to adopt similar tactics to the girls' attacks, by lengthening their attacks from just one or two blow each to a string of punches or kicks to the stomach. Depending on how they felt that day, they might either give a fixed number of blows each, or just keep punching and kicking until either the attacker or the recipient's strength gave out. In their more energetic stomach punching contests, one of them would take as many blows as they could, and the other would then try to exceed that number. This would go on until one would not be able to take the same number of blows as the other had in the previous round. This had the added conditioning advantage that even the person throwing the punches was toning their arm and leg muscles, and was thus able to keep up their strength longer during a bout.
When the new school year started again, there was a new student named Tori on the kickboxing team. She was in Crissy and Amber's weight class, but well above them in ability. While Crissy had been the best in her weight class at the end of last year with Amber close behind, they had already resigned themselves to being no higher than second this year, Tori was that much better than them.
Tori was a loner, but not lonely. Being new in the college and in the town, Tori had no friends yet. So, she was thrilled when her fiercest rivals on the team treated her like a close friend. She had usually encountered resentment from those she had displaced from their high standing, but both Crissy and Amber were treating her just like their closest friends. She told them a lot about herself, sometimes more than she had told almost anyone else.
Tori was born in Japan, of a military marriage between her father, a young military officer, and a Japanese girl. Her father had been stationed there just after he received his advanced training. He was trained as an expert in unarmed and hand-to-hand combat techniques. Now, he was a senior instructor in those techniques. His assignments rotated between bases, for all the services. He may be at a particular Army base for a year or two in some country, and then another couple years at an Air Force base in some other country. Right now, he was stationed outside the town at the Army base. Unfortunately, Tori's mother had not really been able to adapt to this type of life, and Tori's parents were divorced when she was eleven.
Tori had a special relationship with her father. She could tell him everything, even things she would not tell the other girls. As far as she was concerned, he was her closest and best friend. Her father was always sensitive to her emotions, and would always know when she was in trouble. He always respected her privacy, however, and knew when not to pry into her affairs. Still, she usually would come to him for advice with even her most private problems. She could talk with him about anything.
Both Crissy and Amber had been to Tori's house and had met her father. They had both seen the relationship Tori had with her father, and were slightly envious and perhaps a bit nostalgic of it, as they were both far from their own families. However Tori's father had a winning personality, and they both were fascinated when he would tell his tales of his combat experiences. They also had long discussions about the martial arts. They both received a few tips from him on attacks, stances and defenses that they hadn't learned in any of their training. Overall, they both thought he was a really interesting person, and liked him a lot.
Tori's father had wanted her to be well trained in all the martial arts. He knew that an Army base filled with men was not the safest place for a young girl, so he made sure she got the best training he could find, as soon as he thought she was ready. She had almost been training since she was born. He supplemented her training with his own techniques, so she was better trained than most of the combat soldiers at the bases.
Tori had spent most of her life in different schools every couple years. She had started her college career in a college in College Park, Maryland, as her father was stationed nearby training some of the military personnel. She wasn't sure, but she thought it was the CIA personnel that her father was training. He never told her, though he had told her about the rest of the places where he had taught.
Tori was shorter than either Crissy or Amber, though they were both shorter than most other girls. She had straight black hair, a gift from her mother, which she kept cut short. She had a slim waist and hips, with a very flat stomach. She had slightly larger than normal breasts, which looked even larger due to her slim build. However, her slim build hid a lot of muscles, as she was very strong due to her martial arts training. Crissy remembered her once saying she had an "Annie May figure," but Crissy didn't know what that meant. Crissy did know that Tori knew how to use those muscles very well. Tori was the hardest hitter on the team, and was frequently trained with boys from the highest weight classes during sparing practices.
Crissy had been matched up with Tori during many of her bouts, as Crissy was the closest to Tori in ability in the same weight class. Crissy's usual fighting style was to stay on the defensive until she had analyzed her opponent's strategy and strengths. This didn't work with Tori. Tori either did not have a fixed strategy or had a very flexible strategy, Crissy couldn't tell which. She would be attacking for a few blows and then go on the defensive for a while. Because of this versatility, Crissy never was able to predict exactly what she would do next. Even Crissy's best strategy, to let her opponent punch her in the stomach and then counterattack did not work. Tori had seen the opening as Crissy had planned, but instead of attacking all out, she would do one quick, powerful blow to Crissy's stomach and then go back on the defensive. Crissy never was able to mount a successful counterattack against this tactic. And, the blows to her stomach were actually becoming effective, they were so powerful. Once or twice, she actually had the wind knocked out of her when she didn't flex her stomach muscles hard enough for the blow.
Tori and Crissy had some long conversations about their lives. It seemed that both Crissy and Tori liked cartoons. Crissy would spend all Saturday morning from seven o'clock watching one channel on the TV, while taping the cartoons on another channel. She especially liked some of the newer, action cartoon series. Tori also liked cartoons. Her tastes ran similar to Crissy's, with one exception. Having been brought up in Japan, she had developed a liking for Japanese animation. She told Crissy she had quite a collection of it, and told her she would have to bring some of it over one of these days. Tori did have a problem, however. The Army base she was living on with her
father only had access to the local TV channels, the main three networks. These had pretty well dropped all their better Saturday morning cartoons, and Tori was going through "withdrawal" from the lack of cartoon shows. Crissy asked her to come over to her room one Saturday morning so they could watch them together. She also asked Tori to bring over some of her tapes of Japanese cartoons, so she could see what Tori had been talking about.
The next Saturday morning, Tori arrived just before seven o'clock. Crissy was already awake and had the TV and VCR all set up for them. They watched the cartoons on TV for four hours, switching channels as needed to select the best shows. They then watched those they had recorded on the alternate, conflicting channel.
Tori was very knowledgeable about a lot of the cartoons. She told Crissy about aspects of the shows they were watching that even Crissy didn't know. Crissy wasn't really aware that a few of the cartoon shows were actually released in Japanese first and then dubbed into English for American TV. These had a different look than the others, and Crissy liked it. Tori called these Japanese cartoons "anime."
Tori had brought a few videotapes of anime with her. She pulled out one of the tapes called "Cutey Honey" to show to Crissy. It was completely different than anything Crissy had seen and was absolutely not what Crissy had expected from the title, "Cutey Honey." During one scene, the villain pushed Honey up against a stone wall and punched her in the solar plexus, his fist penetrating deep into her upper stomach. Crissy gasped at the punch. Tori looked at her a little puzzled. When that one was ended, Tori carefully selected another one, called "AiKA." She put this one into the VCR and watched Crissy's reactions out of the corner of her eye.
Crissy had never seen such interesting cartoons. However, looking at the bodies of the girls in the Japanese cartoons, she certainly agreed that Tori had an "Annie May" or "anime" figure, with the narrow waist, flat stomach and large breasts. She was intently watching the battle scenes in Cutey Honey when Honey was punched deep in her stomach. This caused her to gasp as she had flashbacks to many similar punches she had taken. When Cutey Honey was over, Tori put another tape into her VCR. This one started out with lots of panty shots of the girls in ridiculously short skirts. Tori told her that an occasional panty shot was so common in anime that it was called "fan service," to please the fans, but that this one was a parody of this taken to the ultimate degree. There was one fight scene between one girl, the heroine and an army of girls on the other side. The heroine was just about destroying the other girls, attacking with some realistic looking martial arts moves. There were several punches, knees and kicks to the stomach, and at each one, Crissy gasped due to their familiarity. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice Tori watching her furtively.
AiKA was just ending when Amber knocked on the door and Crissy let her in. Amber usually came over late in the morning or mid afternoon, since she wasn't really into cartoons like Crissy was. Amber knew Tori just about as well as Crissy did. They had also talked a lot, though about completely different subjects. They talked mostly about all the forms of martial arts. They even talked about weapons, such as medieval swords, rapiers and sabers. Amber had been fascinated when Tori said her father had a collection of these weapons and had shown them to her during one of their visits to her house. She especially liked the rapiers and sabers.
From the cover, it was a Chinese spy thriller live-action movie. It was billed as a Chinese re-make of "La Femme Nikita." Tori liked this movie, one of the only live-action tapes she owned. She especially liked the diminutive real-life Chinese super-model star Jade Leung who performed a lot of her own stunts in the movie. She had a very specific reason for selecting this one to play next.
At first, Crissy didn't like Black Cat, since it wasn't anime. However, after it had run a little, she started to enjoy it. She also noticed that Amber was also enjoying this movie. During one scene, Tori switched her attention completely from the TV to Crissy, to see her reaction to the scene. She was surprised when Amber made the comment, "I know how that feels..." The scene was in a prison where the tough female guard was beating Jade for no apparent reason. The guard had a long baton and had just jabbed Jade in the stomach. The guard had backed her against the steel cell block door and was pushing the baton deeply into Jade's stomach while moving it back and forth, when Amber spoke. Tori was puzzled by this unexpected comment.
While the movie played, Tori tried to figure out what she had observed. From their reactions, it seemed that both Crissy and Amber were attracted to watching people, especially girls getting punched in the stomachs. This was a new idea for her, so she didn't know what to make of it. When the movie ended, she confronted the two of them with it.
"Crissy," Tori said. "I noticed that you and Amber were very interested in the stomach punching scenes in the movies. Why?"
Crissy and Amber looked at each other with a look of amazement. The expressions on their faces was a kind of "What do we do now?" expression. Tori had seen into their (up until then) private fantasy world just by observing them for a couple hours. They both started to open their mouths to say something, but no words came out. Finally they just broke out laughing at the ridiculous expressions on each other's face. When they were able to stop laughing, Crissy nodded to Amber, and Amber returned the nod.
Crissy told Tori all about their stomach punching sessions. She told the story of their original fight, how it had led to their kickboxing training, and how they now trained for kickboxing by using stomach-punching contests in Crissy's room. Tori, instead of being repulsed by the idea, was actually excited. She had never heard of such a thing, but it was something that sounded interesting. She said she wanted to try it herself. Amber looked at Crissy dubiously, but Crissy said, "OK."
Crissy, Tori and Amber started to take off their outer clothes. Amber folded her pants and shirt neatly on the bed. She was just taking off her panties, leaving her in just her sports bra, when she looked over at Crissy and Tori standing with their panties on looking at her in dismay. She stopped and quickly pulled her panties back up. Tori looked at Crissy and then back at Amber, and then took off her panties herself. After a moment, the other two followed suit, and soon all three were in just their bras. It ended up that Tori was wearing a sports bra, too. She said it was because it was more comfortable for casual wear than a full bra.
Tori had the flattest, deepest stomach that they had ever seen. Her stomach went deeply back from her rib line, making it look like she was sucking her stomach in all the time. It almost looked like she had no internal organs at all, her stomach was so flat. It had some shape to it, but not enough to see the muscles there. They both wondered how she had ever withstood the stomach blows they had seen her take during kickboxing matches. However, both Crissy and Amber knew from their own experiences with her, that what was there must be solid muscles all the way through.
Tori inspected Amber and Crissy's bodies. Both had the types of solid bodies typical of kickboxers, but a little different. Both had muscular arms and backs, but they were all working muscles. Both had well muscled, but slim legs and hips. The main difference was in their stomach and torso area.
Crissy had a more cylindrical torso. She had a muscular, solid upper stomach area, that flattened slightly in her lower stomach to match her slender hips. But her stomach was flat in her lower abdomen and did not protrude, though you could see her muscles outlined. Tori saw no hint of fat anywhere on her body.
Amber's stomach was closer to her own. Amber 's stomach flattened out starting at her rib line. Her stomach was considerably concave and deeply indented in the middle and lower stomach area, though not nearly as indented as Tori's. You could see all her stomach muscles defined like a body builder's, though not as pronounced.
There was something different about their bodies that Tori couldn't really define. She decided it was that they didn't look like any of the other kickboxers that she had seen. She asked, and was told that it was due to their previous training as gymnasts, which had developed a completely different set of muscles that they still kept toned. These muscles were in addition to the ones they had developed during their kickboxing training. This added flexibility to their bodies that the other kickboxers didn't have. This also added another layer of muscles in places that are usually not as well muscled on a typical kickboxer's body, adding protection to their bodies at some of their more vulnerable points.
Crissy hung up the rug on the wall. She then told Tori how their contests usually worked. She explained that they usually exchanged stomach punches and kicks and other blows into each other's stomach, and told her about the different kinds of contests they engaged in. She said that Tori should probably just watch this time instead of participating. Tori said she would watch, for at least a while. Crissy set the rules, six blows in a row to each other's stomach until one gave up, and then told Amber to take the first turn.
"Oomph!" said Crissy as she fell back onto the mat for the second time during the bout.
Crissy was definitely losing this bout. Her opponent was much more skilled than she was. In fact, her opponent was practically the best in the college, even well outside her weight class.

Tori inspected Amber and Crissy's bodies. Both had the types of solid bodies typical of kickboxers, but a little different. Both had muscular arms and backs, but they were all working muscles. Both had well muscled, but slim legs and hips. The main difference was in their stomach and torso area.
Crissy had a more cylindrical torso. She had a muscular, solid upper stomach area, that flattened slightly in her lower stomach to match her slender hips. But her stomach was flat in her lower abdomen and did not protrude, though you could see her muscles outlined. Tori saw no hint of fat anywhere on her body.
Amber's stomach was closer to her own. Amber 's stomach flattened out starting at her rib line. Her stomach was considerably concave and deeply indented in the middle and lower stomach area, though not nearly as indented as Tori's. You could see all her stomach muscles defined like a body builder's, though not as pronounced.
There was something different about their bodies that Tori couldn't really define. She decided it was that they didn't look like any of the other kickboxers that she had seen. She asked, and was told that it was due to their previous training as gymnasts, which had developed a completely different set of muscles that they still kept toned. These muscles were in addition to the ones they had developed during their kickboxing training. This added flexibility to their bodies that the other kickboxers didn't have. This also added another layer of muscles in places that are usually not as well muscled on a typical kickboxer's body, adding protection to their bodies at some of their more vulnerable points.
Crissy hung up the rug on the wall. She then told Tori how their contests usually worked. She explained that they usually exchanged stomach punches and kicks and other blows into each other's stomach, and told her about the different kinds of contests they engaged in. She said that Tori should probably just watch this time instead of participating. Tori said she would watch, for at least a while. Crissy set the rules, six blows in a row to each other's stomach until one gave up, and then told Amber to take the first turn.
