Chapter Six

"Ungh." Babette woke up in an abandoned wooden shack a couple of miles from the sea near Marseilles, France to find her arms were bound and held up. Then she noticed Rene similarly restrained in metal shackles on the opposite side of the shack, facing her. Worse than that, he had the appearance of someone who has been badly beaten up.

"Rene!"

"Oooh."

"Oh, Rene, my baby! What have they done to you?!" Babette cried out.

"I've done what I felt like doing to him, and soon I'll do what I want to you!" Babette heard a harsh, angry voice yell at her from a dark corner.

"What the..." Then she recognized her captor as the figure walked out of the darkness. "Armand! Why?"

"He's an obstacle, and I wanted him out of the way," Armand answered as he kept walking towards her until he faced her eye to eye. "When you watch me kill this pretty little geek, you'll realize I'm the only one man enough for someone like you. The sooner you realize this, the better." Armand lowered his eyes towards Babette's half naked form, noticing how she seemed to defy gravity despite the comprised position she was in.

Despite her situation or because of it, the powerfully attractive girl glared at her captor with an unspeakable rage. "Never! I can break these cuffs! Huff!"

"No, you can't. Those restraints are made of tempered steel. Even someone as strong as that Russian wrestler, Zangief couldn't break those restraints. Now watch me kill your boy toy while you're tied down, naked, and helpless, there being nothing you can do about it."

Armand then took out a large, thick blade that was six inches in length and one inch in width. The wooden handle of the knife was dark brown and smooth, fitting the big man's hand like a glove. As the larger than life kick boxer poised the knife towards Rene's fair skinned throat, Babette reached down deep inside for that little something extra, creating an adrenaline surge that increased her strength and power. In a matter of seconds, the veins in her arms bulged along with her muscles. Then the size of her wrists increased to the point that she broke out of her bonds, breaking the wooden wall behind her in the process.

"What the… No way!" the big guy screamed.

"Way!" the statuesque young woman snapped back, becoming a vision of breathtaking terror as she menacingly made her way towards the larger kick boxer, her breasts heaving with every breath as her ice blue eyes glared at him with a sense of unbridled rage.

"G-get back or I'll kill him!" Armand said with more than a little bit of nervousness.

Out of nowhere, Babette's long range, Savate side kick came crashing forward, knocking the large blade out of the large man's hands and on to the ground. "You'll do nothing!"

Armand backed up, shaking a little bit. "I-I did it for you. I love you."

"You don't love me! You just want to control me. I've had too many people trying to control me in my life and I hate it!"

"How could you be in love with this wimp?" Armand demanded despite his fear.

"I'm in love with him; it happens. How dare you question or try to control whom I love?! I'll decide my life, not you!" Faster than the untrained eye could follow, the fast moving martial artist zipped over towards the bigger fighter and struck him hard and fast. At first she kneed him below the belt in such a way that he lurched forward, clutching himself down there. Then she struck him with a Thai kickboxing elbow attack to the chin, knocking his head back, leaving him exposed for another attack to the solar plexus which Babette hit with a downward, fast forward punch that made her opponent lurch forward again. Then she struck him with another elbow. Babette's fists and feet moved faster than the human eye could follow during this process which went on for a few seconds until the larger than life athlete went crashing to the ground with a thud.

After regarding her defeated opponent for a moment, Babette turned towards Rene and grasped a hold of his chains and squeezed hard, breaking him free. "Oh, Rene. Let me get you out of here," she said as she took hold of the beaten boy who tried to smile at her but couldn't do much of anything at the moment.

"That was interesting," Babette heard from a few yards away.

Babette quickly turned around and saw, "Karen Canard!"

Behind the ringlet haired blond were four other members of her gang. One was a tall and thin guy with a wiry physique and long black hair with pale skin and a shrunken, narrow face. Another was a heavy set sandy blond haired guy with a round and muscular physique. The next one had long, orange hair with a buxom yet fit physique of which she was very proud. Then there was Big Bertha whom Babette had fought before. However, Abigail Tindeau wasn't there, having made herself scarce since she didn't want to be in on the battle to come.

"As usual, Karen under estimates Babette's fighting ability," the mercenary girl thought to herself. "I'll just see how this plays out from a safe distance, taping the whole event for sale later, of course."

"What do you want?!" Babette demanded. The defiant young woman wasn't the least bit intimidated by the entourage before her as she stood her ground without fear.

Karen Canard regarded the kick boxer who was wearing only a pair of shorts and shoes with her fists and feet at the ready. "Does she have to prance around like that? How dare she show me up with her assets?! When I'm done with her no one will want her!"

"Here's what I want. I want you dead! She's in no condition to fight. Everyone, get her!" Karen ordered, pointing at her arch enemy.

"Attack!" the girls and guys screamed.

The thin guy made it to Babette first only to be struck in the stomach with a fast paced, forward kick that knocked him into Big Bertha who was right behind him, knocking him out while stunning the giantess. "Oof!"

Before Bertha could recover, Babette deftly leg swept her, taking the giantess's legs out from under her. Then she grabbed the big girl by her feet and swung her into the already damaged wooden wall of the shack, knocking it down. The strong limbed young woman kept on swinging at super speed until she threw the big girl into the two other members of Karen's clique. The large mumble of arms and legs even came crashing into Karen knocking her through the opposing wall.

"Come on, Rene. We need to get out of here!" Taking hold of her lover, Jen took to the air, making leaps and bounds until she and Rene were out of sight.

"Hmm, she's fast!" Abigail thought to herself as she watched Babette get farther and farther away through her video camera.

"Blast it!" Karen screamed, pounding on the ground. After shoving the mass of flesh off of her, she stood up and shook her fist in the air. "This isn't over, you bitch! I'll get you yet!"

A few days later after the holiday week was over, Babette and Rene arrived at school with everyone a buzz over what had happened over the previous weekend. Babette looked over towards her lover and smiled, caressing his shoulder gently. "It's great how Rene can heal so quickly, but I really hate how everything blew up so badly. And if I ever see Karen Canard or Armand Norman again it will be too soon!"

The boys were in awe of the view of the statuesque beauty who made her way through the school with a feline grace and pert wiggle. Many of them sighed as she tossed back her long, luscious, golden brown hair and looked over her massive yet delicate looking shoulders at them. After a moment of taking in the scenery, Babette strolled into the school via the entrance with a switch of her hips drilled into her back when she was a prostitute as the excited boys mooned over her.

"Sacrebleu!" one of the boys exclaimed with a sigh, impressed with Babette's burgeoning bosom which strained against her white buttoned down shirt that seemed to be two sizes too small for her.

"Golly!" a rather short boy stated as he regarded the long legged brunette's short, red with black trim Catholic girl school skirt that showed a healthy amount of thighs which were made out to be even more impressive due to the stylish brown boots she was wearing.

During the day, everyone was in awe of the warrior maiden. It had gotten to the point that the boldest boys propositioned her whether Rene was sitting next to her or not. "Sorry, fellas, I'm already seeing someone. Haven't you seen me walking with my boyfriend?"

"That guy's a wimp," a particularly bold and intimidating boy with powerful looking muscles interjected strongly. "I'm a black belt in karate, so I could kick his ass all over the… Gak!" Before the offending guy could say anymore, Babette had grasped him by the neck, choking him.

"Don't you dare threaten Rene!"

The boy's feet were kicking air a few inches off the ground as he tried in vain to break the hold.

"Do we understand each other?"

"Gak!"

"Blink your eyes if you understand me!" the tall and strong, young woman demanded harshly.

The frightened boy blinked his eyes frantically as he tried to beg for mercy. Then Babette let him go, dropping him to the ground with a thud.

"Now get out of my sight!" Babette demanded, prompting the boy to run away.

"You didn't have to do that, Babette," Rene said, appearing a few feet to the left of her.

The brunette turned towards him and smiled at the object of her desire, caressing his back while sighing. "I don't want to be mean, but brutality is all that some of the people of this school understand. I love you so much that I'll never let anybody hurt you again."

"I'm tougher than I look. Besides, I'll always love and be with you." Rene looked up with a sweet smile that made his lover melt.

"Oh, Rene!" Babette immediately took hold of him, picked him up, and passionately kissed him in front of everyone there in the hallway, stroking her lover gently. This shocked the crowd and caused many of the boys to become angry and jealous.

"Why should that guy have all the luck?"

"What does she see in him anyway?" another boy commented.

"What does he have that I don't have?" a large boy asked no one in particular.

"Actually, it's all that extra stuff you have that he doesn't have," the guy next to the large, fat boy said regarding his girth.

"What?! You can't say that to me!" the fat kid demanded as he chased after his detractor to the laughs of most everyone there.

Later that day, during lunchtime, Babette and Rene sat down graciously at a table and opened up their lunches. Both of them made eyes at each other as the time went by.

"What did you do, Babette?!" a harsh voice screamed, shattering the lovers' malaise. Then the buxom kick boxer looked up abruptly.

"What do you want, Charlotte?"

The well dressed girl with long blond hair stood over her cousin as if she was in judgment of her. "Why must you insist on beating everybody up?! Just pay Karen Canard her protection money like everyone else does!"

"You don't have to yell, Charlotte. In addition to that, I don't believe in paying protection to thugs of any kind. That happened way too much in Thailand, I won't go along with that here."

"This isn't Thailand, you uncouth whore!" Then Charlotte's face got closer to Babette who kept on eating her lunch, ignoring her which angered Charlotte further, her face getting even redder.

"What's your problem, Charlotte? I thought you didn't want anybody seeing you with me," Babette answered calmly.

"That doesn't matter anymore. Everyone knows you're my cousin! And for that reason, Karen and her friends have made my life miserable! I used to be popular around here with a huge circle of friends. Now I'm persona non grata, thanks to you."

While this was going on, Abigail Tindeau was just outside the school, hailing someone who was walking by. "Greetings, Abel!"

"You know me?" the large, muscular young man answered, perplexed and pointing to himself with his index finger. He was very tall, standing at six feet and five inches, weighing a muscular and broad shouldered 275 pounds with a nice crop of blond hair on the top of his head.

"Everyone's heard of you, Abel," the mercenary girl replied. "I understand you search for the best fighters in the world in order to improve yourself."

Then Karen Canard slid up behind her and whispered into her ear. "What are you doing, Nabs?"

"You want Babette Trois beaten and broken, don't you? Well if this guy can't do it, hardly anyone else can. Even if he doesn't win, Babette won't be in much shape to stand up against you afterwards."

"I see. All right then. Do what you have to do and be quick about it," Karen ordered impatiently.

Abel gave Abigail more of his attention, noticing Karen standing behind her. Despite the scars all over his face and body, he was a handsome young man wearing dark blue Olympic wrestling tights with a small flag of France on the midriff of it. In addition to that, he wore black knee high boots, brown pants and an opened brown jacket. "What do you know about my desire to find strong opponents?"

"I know you do that to find out more about yourself. Well, I have a deal for you! For a hundred francs, I'll direct you to a powerful fighter."

"Really? Will he fight me?"

"Yes, she will." Abigail pointed to over to where Babette was getting up from the table at which she had had her meal as her cousin continued to yell at her. "She's big and powerful as you can see. You want to fight her or not? If so, then show me the money."

"All right." After he had given her the money, Abigail led the man inside the school and into the school lunch area where he made a beeline for Babette.

"Did you really have to charge him, Nabs?" Karen said, giving her main lieutenant a sideward glance.

"Why not?"

"He might have decided your information wasn't worth the money."

"I've read up on this guy, Karen. And I've seen him lurking around here looking for powerful people on whom to test his skills. This school has a reputation for strong fighters. I simply made him an offer he could not refuse."

While this was going on, Abel ran up to Babette and Rene who were walking towards the open field of the school.

"Hey!" Abel called out to them.

"Hey is for horses!" Babette replied wryly, regarding the newcomer with raised eyebrows. "Who are you anyway, and what do you want?"

"My name is Abel, and I've heard you're a fighter. As it is, I can tell you're the strongest person in this school."

"That's right." Babette took a good look at the newcomer, giving him a double take. "Abel? I believe I've heard of you. Aren't you that MMA fighter who has participated in the Street Fighter Tournament?"

"That's me. Would you fight me?"

"All right, but I'm tougher than I look and I can't guarantee your safety," Babette answered with a sly smile.

"So you'll fight me?" the stranger asked with wide eyes.

"I said I would." The buxom beauty walked a few feet away from him with a demure switch of her hips. Then she turned around and got into a savate kick boxing stance. "Shall we dance?"

"Wait, Babette," Rene interjected. "This guy is powerful. He rarely ever loses any of his fights. He's practically invincible."

"Don't worry about it, Rene. I've gotten stronger since my battle with Vega. Just stay out of the way of this fight for the time being." Then she turned to the larger than life warrior. "Let's get this party started!"

Abel crouched for a moment and checked his boots. Then he rose to his feet, ready for action. "Well then. Let's begin." Getting into a wrestling stance, his hands reached out as if to grab her. Then he charged.

"What are you waiting for?" In addition to his charge, Abel used his change of direction combo, attacking with an overhead hook punch that struck home. Then he struck low with a punch that hit his opponent's midsection followed by a low kick Babette was able to block by crouching to the ground.

"Not bad." Babette leaped forward from her crouch, striking Abel down with what was a combination of a fast paced, Thai-kickboxing shin strike and savate kickboxing leg sweep that knocked the man off of his feet.

Abel, however, quickly recovered, turning around with a flying roundhouse kick in Babette's shoulder. "Ungh! It's not over yet! Here I come, ready or not! Yattat yattat ta!" the kickboxer screamed, sliding towards Abel on one foot while the other foot kicked him in an auto fire fashion faster than the eye could follow, causing her plaid school dress to tear open exposing her well formed thighs and hips.

"Aaagh!" Abel screamed upon his opponent's kick barrage, his hair shooting upwards. "She's inhumanly fast for someone so big and strong. Chun Li's kicks aren't much faster than this young girl, but Babette's kicks pack more power. I need to get away." "I saw that!" Abel yelled as he executed a Marseilles Roll, rolling head over heels on the ground backwards out of range of Babette's lightning fast kicking power.

"Where are you going?" Babette called out to her retreating opponent. She then struck the ground with her foot creating a shockwave that sent MMA fighter upwards in the air, allowing Babette to go leaping into him with a powerful flying kick that struck his midsection, getting two inches into his rock hard abdominals.

"Oof!" Upon hitting the ground with a thud, Abel got up and ran towards his surprised opponent, grabbing her, spinning her around, and slamming her into the ground.

"Aaagh!" Babette screamed when she hit the surface flat on her back, the buttons of her tight cotton blouse popping off. Then she quickly got to her feet, her large bosom heaving, unabashed over the condition of her wardrobe malfunctions. "It will take more than that to beat me."

"Then I will give more." Abel quickly rolled past her and attempted to grab his opponent from behind when Babette glided on the ground away from him, turning around out of range of his grasping hands. Then she struck with autofire kicks, making figure eights with one attacking foot while the other stayed on the ground.

"Yatatatatao!"

"Yeargh!" Abel screamed as his hair went out of place again upon the execution of Babette's lightning fast footwork. The grappler shuffled backwards in order to get out of the way and regroup, but to his surprise, he found Babette keeping up with him with one of her feet gliding on the ground while the other kept on attacking in a fast paced manner.

"Sacrebleu!" Abel then blocked the kick barrage andgrabbed the offending foot, but before he could anything else, Babette leaped upwards from her free foot, allowing her to loom over her opponent and pummel the top of Abel's head prompting him to abruptly let Babette go.

"There's more where that came from!" Babette replied with a wry smile as she spun around, executing a leaping roundhouse kick that Abel ducked.

Before Babette could get her feet back on the ground, Abel grabbed her hips then ankles, accidently yanking her skirt down as he tossed her up backwards end over end, attempting to slam her to the ground, but the girl's acrobatic skills allowed her to land on her feet. And while Abel went for a two punch combination, she blocked, successfully executing a chop to the neck and a roundhouse punch to his back that knocked him forward a couple of feet.

However, Abel wasn't out of it yet as he sprung quickly towards Babette grabbing her and spinning her around in a professional wrestling airplane spin. Then he threw her 25 feet up in the air, kneeing her before she could hit the ground, grabbing her, and utilizing a rolling throw that ended with Babette being slammed against a nearby stone wall.

"Oh, Babette, be careful!" Rene cried out with concern.

"You're a pretty good wrestler, but my kickboxing is second to none. Before Abel could react, Babette struck the ground with her right foot, causing a shockwave that knocked the MMA fighter off of his feet. Then Babette power leaped towards her opponent, striking his stomach with two roundhouse kicks that knocked Abel back a couple of feet.

Before Babette could follow up with any more attacks, Abel charged her, striking his opponent with his shoulder. Then he struck her upper body with fast paced rights and lefts. Upon attempting to strike with an overhand attack that missed as the kick boxer shuffled backwards. He finally succeeded in nailing her with several sharp handed killing attacks that failed to cause any serious damage to Babette but succeeded in shredding off the rest of her buttoned down blouse, leaving her only in her underwear and boots.

"She's invulnerable to my killing attacks, but how?" Abel thought to himself upon the end of his attack combinations.

"Ooh, la la!" a boy yelled out.

"She's gorgeous!" another boy called out.

"Her whole body stands at attention!"

"I'll say. I could make love to that for hours!"

Despite being stripped down to a bra, panties, and boots, Babette was unabashed, moving in on Abel and striking him with rapid fire punches and kicks, seemingly hitting him from all sides countless times until she struck his jaw with a powerful uppercut that sent the grappler into the sky and to the ground with a thud.

"Yaaaagghh!"

"I'm sorry you can't remember your past, but if you had my past, you'd know that some things are best forgotten," Babette said, turning around and giving a thumbs-up upon her victory as Abel slipped into unconsciousness.

"Babette, you did it!" Rene announced, running over to her. "Here, let me cover you up." The young man then took his shirt off and used it to drape it over his lover.

"Thanks, Rene. I really need to get some clothes that won't tear during a fight," Babette said with a toss of her long, flowing hair.

"I'm sure we'll find something for you to wear," Rene replied, blushing at being so close to the scantily clad girl whose body was oblivious to gravity while trying not to stare too much.

Then Babette noticed how fetching her lover's rippling upper body was. "Baby, let's take the afternoon off. You can give me an all over body massage," the Amazonian girl said with a giggle.

"You two make me sick!" a voice called out.

"What do you want, Karen?!" Babette said in response.

"I want you dead!"

Babette looked up to see that she and Rene were surrounded by Karen and her gang.
