Challenge Accepted pt. 7

The atmosphere in the WVBA gym was a blend of focus and camaraderie. In one of the boxing rings, Von Kaiser was leading a youth class through a series of drills. The kids loved getting to train with a legend, especially when he put on his military instructor persona. Today, Von Kaiser was in rare form and the kids, boys and girls anywhere from 5 to 10 years old, were eating it up.

"Jab, jab, hook! Bereit?” Von Kaiser barked as if giving orders to troops.

“Ja, Coach!” The kids took their stances and called back in unison, big smiles on their faces.

“Sehr gut, meine kleinen Krieger,” he called back, his voice tinged with affection. “Und eins, und zwei, und drei…”

Elsewhere on the gym floor, Niki Binary was taking advantage of her rare day off. She was engrossed in her workout, her fists rhythmically striking a double-end bag as she danced around it, bobbing and weaving as the bag came back at her after her punches. Nearby, two young hopefuls, Tim and Emily, were working out at their own double-ended bags, both struggling a little.

Both were 15, under the minimum age for a boxer’s license in the WVBA, but both showed promise and were trainees in the Academy. Tim was a lanky kid with a mop of curly hair, while Emily was petite with a fierce determination in her eyes..

"Keep it up, you two," Niki encouraged, noticing their slight discouragement. "Stick and move, just like Coach Quarlow taught you. You can do it."

Tim tightened up his form. “T-t-thanks, Niki. It’s j-just so… I-I-I mean…”

“It’s stupid hard is what he’s tryin’ to say,” Emily spoke up, light on her feet around the bag as she worked on her rhythm. “But we ain’t quittin’. Come on, Tim, we’ve got this!”

Just then, the gym doors swung open with a flourish, and in walked Reina Adora, accompanied by her assistant Maria. Reina surveyed the room with an air of disdain, her eyes hidden behind her lucha mask. 

"The facility is quite impressive, Señora," Maria remarked, her tone formal. “State of the art.”

Reina sighed, eyes scanning the room. "Adecuada. But it's still just a gym and I’ve seen better." Her eyes then landed on Niki, recognizing her from her orientation when Niki had been working reception. "Ah, you there, the receptionist. Where is Skye Ivy?"

Niki didn't immediately respond, her focus still on her workout. Reina, not accustomed to being ignored, grew impatient and approached Niki. Dropping her gym bag with a thud, Reina grabbed the double-end bag, halting its movement and forcing Niki to look at her. "I asked you a question, receptionist. Where is Skye Ivy?"

Niki took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Reina's masked gaze. "First of all, I'm not the receptionist. Secondly, I don’t keep tabs on people so I don’t know. And last but not least, I'm a fighter on the roster, just like you."

Reina burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the gym. “¿Una boxeadora? You? I question how good of a fighter you are if you have to moonlight as a receptionist."

Niki clenched her fists, her eyes narrowing. "I work in IT, but I fill in elsewhere as needed. It’s called being a team player. But I promise you, I can more than hold my own in the ring."

Reina smirked, clearly unimpressed. "¿No es linda? An IT specialist who moonlights as a fighter. How... quaint. Perhaps one day, you’ll get the chance to lose to me."

As Niki took a deep breath to steady herself, Von Kaiser, who had been watching the exchange from the ring, shouted across the gym, "Wenig Stahl, are you alright?"

Niki looked over at her coach and nodded. "I'm fine, Coach. Just a minor distraction." She then narrowed her gaze on Reina and dropped her voice for the luchadora to hear. “Very. Minor.”

“Lo deseas, pequeña.” Reina picked up her gym bag and tossed her hair back arrogantly. "Maria, since I'm here, I might as well get in a workout. Let me know when la corredora arrives."

“Sí, señora.” Maria followed dutifully behind as Reina sauntered toward the locker room.

Niki took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Von Kaiser's across the room. He gave her a nod of approval, and she returned to her double-end bag, her punches fueled by a renewed vigor and determination.

Niki just shook her head and returned to her workout, her fists hitting the double-end bag with renewed vigor. Tim and Emily, who had paused to watch the confrontation, resumed their own workouts, their eyes meeting Niki's for a brief moment.

“W-Wow. She’s a p-piece of w-w-work.” Tim resumed his work on his double-end bag.

Emily, likewise, started dancing around her bag. “For real! I don’t know if I could’ve handled that like you did, Niki.”

"Don't worry about her, guys," Niki said, her voice steady but supportive, "People like that are all talk. What matters is what you do in the ring."

The young hopefuls nodded, their spirits lifted. And as Reina disappeared into the locker room, Niki couldn't help but feel that, despite the arrogance and the posturing, the real fights—both in and out of the ring—were fought with heart, something she had in spades.

What an amazing concept for a boxing game. Nintendo focused first on great gameplay and then wrapped it in a super fun boxing theme. Rather than trying too hard on the finer details of the sport. I love the NES version and I’m so happy to have this Super Nintendo sequel. Thanks to @retro.game.bros for working out a pretty big trade with me. More to come later. #RetroVideoGames #RetroMegabit #16bit #SegaDude #RetroCollective #RetroVideoGameCollection #RetroVideoGameCollector #SuperNintendo #SNES #PunchOut #SuperPunchOut https://www.instagram.com/p/CVygLhoJsi9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Challenge Accepted pt. 6

Wednesday at midday saw the WVBA cafeteria buzzing with the usual chatter as fighters and staff enjoyed their lunch. At one table, Glass Joe and Skye Ivy were deep in conversation, their plates half-empty. Star Mika's empty plate and hoodie were also on the table, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"I can't believe Mika got permission to use the gym this Sunday," Skye said, taking a bite of her sandwich. "She's been so excited about it."

"Ah, oui," Glass Joe nodded, cutting into his croque madame. "Mika’s excitement has a way of being quite contagious. It's one of her many charms."

Just then, Cutie Hondo approached the table, tray in hand, her eyes scanning the empty seat. "Is this seat taken? May I join you?"

Skye looked up and smiled. "Of course! Have a seat, Cutie. We were just talking about Mika's big plans for Sunday."

Cutie sat down, her eyes lighting up as she inspected her burger and fries. "Oh? What's Mika up to?"

Across the cafeteria, Mika was animatedly talking to Piston Hondo, Disco Kid, and Masked Muscle. Her hands were flying as she gestured excitedly, her tablet and stylus in hand. Piston Hondo was nodding along, clearly interested, while Disco Kid looked like he was about to burst with excitement.

Skye chuckled. "Mika managed to talk the WVBA into letting her hold an anime party in the gym on Sunday. She's been going around, getting everyone hyped about it."

Cutie's eyes went wide, a french fry hanging from her mouth. "An anime party? Here? Really?!"

Skye looked puzzled. "I don’t get it. I mean, I’ve seen Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z, you know. But, ain’t they just like any other cartoon?"

Cutie shook her head vigorously. "Oh, no, no, no! Anime is so much more than just cartoons. It's an art form! The storytelling, the character development, the animation—it's all so intricate and beautiful!"

Just then, Mika returned to the table, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Hey, guys! Oh, hi Cutie! What are you doing here?"

Cutie practically leapt out of her seat. "Mika, I just heard about your anime party on Sunday, and I am so in! That is, I mean, if I’m invited."

Mika's eyes widened. "Really? Of course, you’re invited! I didn’t know you’re an anime fan?"

Cutie nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely! I love magical girl shows, superhero anime, the classics—you name it!"

Mika clapped her hands together. "Oh my gosh, me too! I just got the third season of 'Sailor Moon Crystal'! Oh! And have you been keeping up with 'My Hero Academia'? I'm so hooked!"

Cutie's eyes sparkled. "Cool, and yes! And don't even get me started on 'Demon Slayer.' That show is a masterpiece!"

Mika leaned in closer, her voice low like she’s letting Cutie in on a guarded secret. "Okay, so here's the plan for Sunday. We're going to start with some classics. I’m thinking 'Cowboy Bebop' and 'Ranma 1/2,' then move on to some magical girl goodness with some old school 'Pretty Cure,' and end the night with something like 'Attack on Titan.'"

Cutie's jaw dropped. "I love it! Count me in!"

Skye and Glass Joe exchanged amused glances as Mika and Cutie continued to gush over their favorite anime shows, their voices filled with the kind of passion that only true fans could understand.

"See what I mean?" Glass Joe said, grinning at Skye. "Mika has a way of making everyone around her excited about the things she loves."

Skye nodded, her eyes on Mika and Cutie. "Yeah, I can see that."

As Mika and Cutie continued to chat, their laughter filling the air, it was clear that Sunday's anime party was going to be an event to remember.
