Estella – A fighter is Born
By: Spartan Ace 2010

Her Cop colleagues called her “Tomboy Jones”. The criminals, i.e. those unfortunate to cross her path called her the “Devil Incarnate”.
It was not as if Estella (that was her real name) was a girl who looked like a boy or had boyish mannerisms. In fact she was a hot Latino with a super toned body and a good 5 feet 8 inches in height, blessed with good looks and super jet-black long hair. But what she really was famous for was her hot temper and her penchant to use her fists to resolve a dispute, which few of her female colleagues did. While this was necessary in her line of work (she was a patrol officer on a night beat), it did not always work out in her favour. As it happened, during one of her beats she brutally beat up a gang of three teenagers; two boys and a girl who were graffiti painting on the alley. The beatings were so severe (she didn’t show any mercy to the girl either) that the kids were hospitalised for more than a month. Parents of the kids pressed charges and soon Estella was tried for using excessive force and was fired after forcing to pay a hefty fine which emptied whatever was left of her savings. It was only because of her cop connections and also because she knew the judge personally that she escaped going to prison. But her career as a cop was over.
And so it happened that Estella, once the cop feared by gangs across the street was now reduced to a nobody and flush out of money. She tried her hand at a few off jobs here and there but it was nowhere near to being on the Police force. Soon the anger and frustration in her began to grow and at one time reached such an extent that she was unable to focus properly on any job she handled and got fired soon after. Then, one day, like a blessing in disguise she heard of this place near the docks where it was rumoured that street fights were conducted. She decided to check it out personally one night.
The place was nicknamed as the “Bull Ring”. It was actually a huge circular steel cage with only one entrance which was also the exit. As she approached the place she saw a huge group of people shouting loudly and cheering. She could see inside the cage a vicious fight was going on. One woman, with Asian features and Oriental in origin was beating the crap out of another woman, who was blonde and fair. The Asian woman was wearing a black bikini top and matching tight black pants while the other woman was wearing a blue sports bra and blue tight leather racing pants. The Asian had the blonde huddled up against the steel cage bars and was pounding her senseless with powerful left and right hooks. With each punch, the crowd cheered wildly. It was evident that she was the crowd favourite. The sight of this Asian woman dominating the other stirred up something inside Estella. It was as if she had reached her destination and all the anger and frustration she had bottled up inside her for so long stirred up the urge to fight. She noticed most people were crowding near a small man, nearly dwarfish and kept giving him small or large amounts of dollar bills which he took happily and made notes in a book. She guessed he was the Bull ring’s betting agent. The noise of the crowd brought her back to the fight and she saw that the Asian had stopped her barrage of punches. The blonde, clearly stunned by the assault was in a daze and while still on two feet, was trying to steady herself. The Asian stepped back a bit and gave a powerful side heel kick which connected with full force to the blonde’s stomach. The blonde instinctively bent over with a gasp of pain. The Asian was ready for her and gave her a knee to the face, causing the blonde’s head to rise up sharply. The Asian then grabbed the shoulders of the dazed blonde, positioned herself in front of her and slammed her right knee into the blonde’s groin. A huge collective gasp of “oooh” escaped from the watching crowd as the blonde’s eyes opened in shock and her mouth opened to form a perfect ‘O’. She would have fallen down but the Asian had a powerful grip on her shoulder. The Asian kneed her in the groin again and again. Each knee was more powerful than the previous causing the blonde to rise up a bit in the air due to sheer force. With each precise groin strike, the fight started diminishing from the blonde’s eyes, until after the tenth knee, it was clear that the fight had gone out from her. The Asian then released her grip on the blonde’s shoulders. The blonde simply slumped to the floor with her hands wedged between her thighs and assumed the foetal position. A low moan of intense agony escaped from her as she vomited on the floor and then passed out unconscious. The Asian meanwhile was pumping her fists in the air in a sign of victory while the crowd cheered. The dwarfish man she had noticed earlier stepped into the ring with two assistants who lifted the unconscious blonde and took her out of the ring. The dwarf grabbed the Asian woman’s hand and lifted it in the air to signal that she was the winner with the crowd cheering. Then he raised his hand indicating that he was speaking. The crowd soon fell silent.
“Is there any chick left here brave enough to challenge Lin?” he shouted. There was silence among the crowd. Clearly, no woman present in the crowd considered challenging her after seeing what she had done to the blonde. Estella seized the opportunity and cried out “I challenge her!” The focus of the entire crowd turned towards her. The dwarf man smiled and said “It seems we have a challenger. Step forward into the arena please.” With her heart pumping furiously, Estella stepped into the ring.
Aware that each person’s eyes were focussed on her, Estella walked over towards the betting agent and Lin. She gave Lin the full benefit of a glare and turned towards the dwarf.
“What are the rules?” she asked. The Dwarf shrugged and said, “As you just saw, there are no rules here. Both fighters fight until one has beaten the crap out of the other. Winner is by knockout only. There is no submission or surrender. There is no escape. What’s your name by the way?”
Estella then turned her gaze towards Lin and said in a cold and calculating manner, loud enough for the crowd to hear “My name is Estella Gomez and it shouldn’t take long to beat your sweet Asian ass. But I’ll give you a concession. If you plead early, there might be a chance I let you go without much damage.”
Lin stiffened on hearing this remark. A buzz started among the crowd. As the undisputed champion of the ring, Lin wasn’t used to people speaking to her in this manner. When she spoke she was all blazing anger.
“What’s that you just said you fucking Latino C**t? You think you can actually have a swipe at me? Well bad news for you bitch. When I finish with you, you’re going to regret you were ever born.”
Lin’s eyes blazed with wild fury as she regarded her new opponent as dead meat. Estella smiled to herself internally seeing Lin’s fury. She was just preparing the lamb for slaughter. It was a trick she had learnt very early as a child in street brawls and later on as a Cop. The trick was to size up your opponent and infuriate them as much as possible before the actual fight started, the aim being to prevent your opponent from thinking clearly and rationally. Estella guessed from Lin’s expression that the latter had taken the bait hook, line and sinker.
The Dwarf man who was also taken aback at the verbal exchange regained his composure and said, “All right. Fight starts after I ring the bell. Good Luck to you both.” As he walked out of the ring he looked at Estella and said, “You’re going to need it.”
Estella felt a surge of excitement and her stomach churned inside as she was facing her first fight in a long time. Secretly she wondered how she would fare after such a long gap. She decided to step into more authentic fighting attire. She was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans and brown heavy boots. She took of her shirt and tossed it aside, revealing a white sports bra and a well toned abdomen. A gasp escaped from the crowd as they saw well toned and firm body, a result of Estella’s years of rigorous work out and exercise. Even Lin was taken aback for a moment but soon returned to her cocky attitude.
As soon as the door closed, Lin did not even wait for the bell to sound and charged straight towards Estella, catching the hot Latino completely by surprise. The Air rushed out of Estella in a “Ooof” as Lin’s shoulder connected to her stomach with brute force. The body spear forced Estella back towards the cage walls. She felt a Jarring impact on her spine as her lower back connected with the hard and unforgiving steel cage bars. The sensation of pain brought back some of the old fighting memories to Estella. Lin, however did not give her even a fraction of a second to recover as she followed up her spear with a solid right punch to Estella’s firm abdomen, right at her navel. Again the air rushed out of the Latino in a rush. Estella threw a wild right at Lin, hoping to catch her in the face, but Lin easily blocked it and followed it up with a sharp knee to Estella’s groin. A short yelp of agony escaped Estella’s lips, as a bolt of nauseating pain shot over her entire lower body as she bent over clutching her privates. Lin, clearly having the upper hand showed no mercy as she sent another knee, this time to the Latino’s side aimed at her kidneys. The force of the blow sent Estella spinning as she struggled for balance. Too late, she saw Lin’s foot approaching her face, as the Oriental gave a round house karate kick which connected with crushing force to the side of the Latino’s head. Estella dropped to the floor like a brick and the crowd saw that this was going to be yet another one sided fight and started cheering loudly for Lin. People handed huge sums of money to the dwarf who was making the most of it. It didn’t take much to realise that people were betting on Lin again.
Estella, down on the floor and dazed after the previous attack groggily tried to get up and was on her hands and knees. Lin who was waving to the crowd slowly walked towards her, her eyes red with fury and whispered to the prone Latino in her ear. “You f**cking Latino, thought you could even lay a hand on me. These are just for starters. I’ve got more in store for you.” And saying so she kicked Estella viciously in her left side, causing the Latino to fall on her back, holding her left kidney in pain. Lin, who was enjoying herself added to the agony by stomping the Latino’s outstretched and prone lower abdomen full force, exactly in the region between the groin and the navel. Estella’s eyes opened wide in pain and a low moan of agony escaped her lips as she instinctively folded over in half and moved her hands over to cover her injured lower body. This blow was one of the most painful she had felt in a long time and for a moment she wondered whether it had been wise to taunt her opponent before the fight. However, if there was one thing she had learnt on the street brawls, it was patience: lulling the opponent into a false sense of security and then pouncing back. She had learned to endure pain and slowly all her invaluable lessons learnt during her scraps were coming back to her. She had noticed from the corner of the eye that Lin was now cock-sure about her victory and had driven away all thoughts of a counter attack, just the effect Estella wanted to create. She was not even looking at the Latino and was waving to the crowd, already counting her chickens before they were hatched.
Slowly and deliberately, Estella gave out a loud groan of agony and lay there on the floor, her hands and legs spread out, painting a picture of complete helplessness. Her prominent bulge between her legs stuck out like a sore thumb and caught Lin’s attention as well as well as the crowd’s. Without stopping to think Lin already had made up her mind about the target she was aiming on and started climbing the bars of the steel cage with the agility of a monkey, with the crowd cheering wildly after each step, till she reached the top in such a position that she was now directly above the Latino. She waved to the crowd once and jumped from the top, her aim being to bang her heel over her foe’s privates in a crushing and sickening blow, and thereby put a final seal to her victory. However, the Latino who was watching all these developments from the corner of the eye was well prepared. Before the Asian could make contact, Estella lifted her right foot at precisely the moment Lin was going to land on her, the result being the Asian landing crotch first full force onto Estella’s foot. The sickening sound of soft flesh and bone on hard leather could be heard throughout the arena as the crowd, stunned into silence realised that the tables had been turned. Lin fell off Estella’s extended foot on to her side beside Estella with a piteous yell of agony. Her hands were wedged between her thighs as she held her injured private regions and was rolling on the ground in sheer pain, attempting in vain to shake off the terrible and nauseating pain. After a long time of frustration, her pent up fury began to come to the surface as she suddenly went wild. She had delivered the killer blow which would turn the contest, but all her years in street fighting and on the Patrol beat has taught her to finish off your opponent when he/she is weakened. And with precisely the same intention in mind, Estella got up on her feet and walked towards Lin who was now curled up in a ball on her back, with her hands wedged between her privates and her knees bent and facing up, moaning in agony. Lin saw her coming and made a feeble attempt to ward her off, but Estella totally ignored it and grabbed a handful of the Oriental’s hair.
“AAAAGHHHHH ....!!!!” Lin’s tortured scream could be heard all over the arena, as she was painfully and forcefully lifted up to her feet. Tears streaked down her eyes. Estella dragged the Asian by the hair towards the cage bars and with total ruthlessness banged Lin’s head with full force on the walls. A loud “CLANG” sound could be heard as skull made contact with hard steel. The entire arena had gone silent. Till now the audience had been used to see Lin beating the crap out of the other fighter, but to see her at the receiving end of such brutal treatment was a totally rare sight. Lin, her head now seeing stars dropped like a brick on the floor. Estella, walked a few steps back and checked to see if Lin was truly down. Satisfied, she ran towards the Oriental and gave her an elbow drop on her crotch. “OOOOUUUGGG” Lin screamed as Estella’s hardest body part came into contact with Lin’s softest. The force of the blow forced Lin to sit up forcefully, with her body’s upper half at an exact right angle with her lower half. Estella totally ignored the expression of agony on Lin’s face along with her repeated pleas to spare her. She again grabbed the Asian by her hair and lifted her up forcefully. Lin, fearing another skull cracking blow to her head instinctively covered her head with both hands. But Estella knew better than to carry out the same tactic twice. She suddenly let go of the Asian’s hair and before Lin could collapse again, gave a quick and hard uppercut to her groin from behind. Lin collapsed on to her knees holding her tenders as the crowd gave another collective gasp. But Estella was not done yet. She yet again picked up the battered Asian chick by her hair. Lin was in such considerable agony that she had simply given up resisting any moves. Estella grabbed both breasts of the Oriental, eliciting a loud shriek from and in a incredible display of brute strength, lifted her up by her orbs and threw her down will hard impact on her back on the unforgiving steel floor below. Lin arched her back a little and then grew still. Estella walked over to her and jammed her boot into the Asian’s crotch. Lin opened her eyes and tried to get up but could only get to a few inches before she lay down again. With sadistic delight, unleashing all her pent up fury, she began to twist and grind her heel into Lin’s already aching crotch and enjoyed seeing Lin’s various expressions of sheer agony. Lin tried to in vain to scream but only a small pool of vomit and saliva escaped her mouth and finally when she could take the pain no longer, passed out.
The crowd which had been stunned into silence earlier, now found it’s voice again. Silence turned to Murmurs and from murmurs to whispers and finally to loud cheers as a new champion was recognised. The sound of the crowd cheers suddenly brought back Estella into the arena. All her life, she had heard slurs, taunts and abuses either from street gangs or from criminals and juvenile delinquents. For the first time, she heard the sound of respect and awe. It was a new and nice feeling for her and she was enjoying every moment of it. Soon the helpers got inside and carried the unconscious form of Lin outside. The dwarf man, who looked as if he was run over by a truck came forward and as per custom grabbed hold of Estella’s hand and raised it up in the air.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new winner tonight. Give a big hand to the winner of tonight’s final fight round and our new arena champion, Estella Gomez!!” he screamed as the crowd’s applause filled the air. “Thank you for coming tonight fellas. It’s been a long and tiring night and I hope you all have enjoyed yourself. You can all meet me later with regards to your bets. Have a good day.”, he concluded as the crowd slowly began departing and dwindling in number.
“Not so fast”, Estella told the Dwarf man as he was walking away. The Dwarf turned back and looked at her and said, “The fight’s over. What do you want now? You’ve upset all the stakes as it is.”
“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I see you must have made quite a pile from my fight, especially as all the bets were against me. I want my share.”
The dwarf looked at her eyes and realised she meant it. And after seeing her fight tonight he knew she was one bitch not to cross. So reluctantly he took out a couple of hundred dollar notes and gave it to her. Estella, took the bills, looked at them and said “I want my whole share. Give me all of it.”
The Dwarf opened his mouth to protest and deny, but saw the expression in her eyes and thought the better of it. He reached under his trouser pocket and took out a wad of bills. Before, she could say or do anything, Estella grabbed the money from his hands and counted it. It came to eight thousand dollars. Quite a bit of earning for one night. Estella counted and handed over thousand dollars to the Dwarf whose eyes lit up. Estella then bent down on one knee so that she could level her eyes to the dwarf and said “There’s more of that to come. I’ll be back next week. I have a plan. If you stick to it, then we would both make ourselves a hell of a lot of money.”
The Dwarf, his eyes full of dollar notes nodded gleefully and walked off. Estella counted the money again and put it into her pocket. It felt good and a bit funny to realise that she had earned in one night more than what she could have ever earned in a month’s salary. Humming a soft tune, she picked up her white shirt, slung it over her shoulder and walked off into the night.
