Four women looked around nervously as the cage door slammed shut. Alicia Sacramone stood closest to the door. The sexy brunette wore a black sports bra and yellow shorts. She smiled and raised her hands as her name was announced. In the corner to Alicia's right stood Sophie Dossi. She wore a tight tan top and black tights. Sophie flashed a cute smile and did a back flip when her name was announced. To Sophie's right and in the corner opposite Alicia stood Kristina Baskett. She pulled her long black hair back into a pony tail as she prepared for the fight. She wore a red sports bra and long red skirt. When Kristina's name was announced, she twirled off the skirt reavealing red tights beneath. The final member of the quartet was Maria Sharapova. Her lips turned up in a cute smile when she looked around.
"I didn't know it was going to be this easy." laughed Maria.
At 6'1" she towered nearly a foot over the other three. The lithe blonde wore a white sports bra and white shorts. A bell rung outside the cage and the spectators began to cheer and scream as the four women walked toward the middle of the cage. Alicia swung a left cross at Sophie, but Sophie bent backwards out of the way and put her feet on the mat. She scurried away on her hands and feet, still bent over backwards as Alicia turned her attention to Kristina. Maria followed Sophie to one side and looked somewhat amazed as Sophie stood back up from her back bent position.
"Limber little thing aren't you?" said Maria as she moved closer to Sophie.
Sophie bent forward, put her hands on the mat and did a quick handstand with her back bent and her feet toward Maria. Maria groaned and bent over as Sophie's feet pounded tap dance fashion into her belly. Sophie rolled back to her feet and went behind Maria. the contortionist grape vined her legs around Maria's long legs and wrapped her arms around Maria's torso, squeezing Maria's ribs. Maria realized she should have taken the smaller woman more seriously too late as with each breath Sophie's arms squeezed tighter not allowing Maria to breathe properly. Marie fell over on her back and Sophie grunted as they hit the mat. Sophie's grip loosened a little allowing Maria to gulp in a long hard gasp. Kristina had been parrying Alicia's punches and kicks with ease and was waiting for Alicia to tire out, but when they heard Maria's gasp they both stopped and turned toward Maria.
"You know she's a bigger threat than I am." said Alicia.
"Of course." said Kristina as they walked toward the prone pair.
"She does make such an easy target stretched out like that." said Alicia.
Maria groaned as Sophie tightened her grip. All four women winced when they heard a sick crack and knew that at least one of Maria's ribs had broken.
"What do you say we make it almost impossible for her to stand up." said Alicia.
Kristina smiled and nodded. She turned a little and planted a stiff snap kick across Maria's navel. Maria let out a howl of pain and Sophie tightened her grip again, cutting Maria's cry short. Alicia fell to one knee, planting that knee in Maria's stretched belly. Maria whimpered a little and Sophie let her go and untangled her legs from Maria's. Maria rolled to her side and curled up in pain. Sophie smiled as she looked at Alicia and Kristina.
"We make a pretty good team." said Sophie hopefully.
Kristina's foot was a blur a she kicked toward Sophie's head. Sophie bent back away from the blow back to her hands and feet back bend. Alicia punched down hard, catching Sophie in the middle of her stretched abdomen. Sophie let out a whimper as her arms and legs shot out and she fell flat on her back. Sophie clenched her teeth and rolled back up to her feet. A side kick in the ribs from Kristina drew a scream of pain from Sophie. She turned around in time to see Alicia swinging toward her. This time she didn't have time to move out of the way and the right hook caught Sophie in the jaw. Sophie's pure blue eyes went glassy and welled with tears as her head snapped around. Sophie's long curly hair slapped Alicia in the face as the contortionist went down in a heap. While they had concentrated on Sophie, Maria had struggled to her feet. The blonde was hurt badly, but she was also mad. Maria grabbed Alicia's neck in her right hand and Kristina's neck in her left hand. The two gymnasts grunted as Maria slapped their heads together. With her two opponents dazed, Maria wrapped her long arms around their throats, blocking off their air supply. Desperation showed on Alicia's face as her bright brown eyes rolled around, looking for any means of escape. She looked at Kristina, who was also gasping for breath, but her dark eyes were calm and her face relaxed. Alicia smiled at Kristina and nodded a little. Both gymnasts drove their elbows backward into Maria's gut at the same time. Maria stumbled back with a look of agony on her face, but quickly raised her hands to defend herself. Maria stepped back from a kick from Kristina, then ducked a punch from Alicia. Maria stepped forward, went down on one knee and punched forward with both hands, driving her fists into Alicia's and Kristina's bellies. Kristina grunted, bent over, and staggered back. Alicia bent over with her eyes wide, and a loud hiss of air between her lips.
"Hurts doesn't it." said Maria angrily as she got to her feet.
Maria grabbed a handful of Alicia's hair with her left hand and drew her right hand back to punch the gymnast out. Kristina stepped toward Maria and landed a hard side kick into Maria's side. Maria grimaced as she heard the loud crack again.
"Oh dear. There goes another rib." taunted Kristina with a bit of mock pity on her face.
Maria barely had time to see Kristina's spin kick before she felt the impact on her temple. Maria's bright green eyes went blank as she spun around herself. Her eyelids fluttered as he fell to the mat.
"I guess that just leaves you and me." said Alicia as she got back to her feet.
Alicia swung a vicious left cross toward Kristina, but she side stepped, and landed a hard right into Alicia's back on her left side above her kidneys. Alicia staggered forward, blinking away tears and groaning in pain.
"Doesn't quite count as a knock out, but you do pass out for a second or two if someone rattles your liver hard enough." said Kristina.
"Doesn't exactly feel too good either." groaned Alicia.
"You do know, I could drop you any time I want." said Kristina.
"You're welcome to try." said Alicia as she raised her hands and stepped toward Kristina.
Alicia swung toward Kristina's head, but Kristina ducked and drove her open palm into Alicia's gut. Alicia bent over with a loud:
"Oh!"
"I'm going to be nice to you and end it quick." said Kristina.
Alicia gulped as Kristina drew her hand back. Alicia's eyes widened as Kristina's punch caught her just left of the center of her chest. Alicia's eyes closed as she slumped to the mat. Kristina put her foot on Alicia's prone body and raised her hands when she heard her name announced as the winner.
