Atomicboy: Who am I
by Atomicboy
Preface to Destruction

Three years ago...

My friend Arden watched closely as the woman dressed in long flowing robes,
(that I believed were made of old blankets and sheets), pass her hand over
the crystal ball. she was about 40ish, red hair, buxom but not to hard on
the eyes. She was cute, but I wasn't going for the hocus pocus. "You two
are very close friends?" she said.

"Wow, anyone could see that much. Yes, we've been friends for years." I
said. Arden tried to hush me but this was starting to bore me. I got real
silent and let my mind wonder until I heard her say, "And you?"

"Look, I don't mean to waste your time. I'm a Christian, I don't believe in
any of this stuff. Sorry. I mean I'm leaving, I'm not gonna pay for this."

"Really? A non believer." she said.

"I just don't believe you can read the future or cast spells on people. I
mean I believe it's all possible but I don't dabble in it and I surely
think you're a fake."

The woman nodded and smiled,"Care to make it interesting. Maybe I can't
cast a spell on you because of your-religious affiliation." Arden started
to sit up straight and look at me.

"Are you crazy? This woman's the real thing! She told me when Jennifer was
cheating on me."

"I told you that too simply based off the info you gave me and probably the
same info you gave her."

"But-"

Suddenly the woman held up her hand, and Arden became quiet. He just
watched at us with this worried look on his face. "Spells don't always have
to be cast on a person they can be cast around them." said the witch.

"Sure." I said.

"What is your fantasy?"

"I don't know. I don't sit around fantasizing about things. I'm a doer. If
I have a fantasy, I make it happen."

"We all have fantasies." As she said this I saw a huge female bodybuilder
go by. She was part of the show, very chesty, to be so big and muscular. I
figured she probably had implants. They were billing her as "The strongest
woman in the world." She saw me looking through circus tent flaps, smiled
and struck a slight pose as she flung her bag, (probably her day clothes),
over her shoulder and walked on by. "I know what your fantasy is?" said the
witch.

"Do you?" I said turning back to her. "Whatever." I moved to get up.

She grabbed my arm. "Not so fast. You owe me fifteen dollars."

"I told you I'm not paying for this." I snatched my arm away and walked
out. I heard Arden say, "Here's five bucks for your worries, it's all I
got."

"Your friend doesn't seem to like me."

I couldn't hear the rest of the conversation, but Arden came running up to
me asking,"Why'd you stiff her like that?"

"This was your little idea, you should've paid for it." Arden was pissed
all night about what I had done, but we still managed to enjoy the rest of
the carnival. After we went home I got a good night's sleep because in the
morning I was going to go to martial arts class. I hadn't been in months.
I'd let myself go and I figured it was time to go back.

Trench coat, black baggy jeans, soft black shoes with a hard rubber sole,
and my leather vest. This was going to be my fashion statement. I slung my
sports bag and walked out the door. I caught the train downtown and in
moments I was at the dojo. I walked in quietly as a session was going on. t
was good to see the class again, what was left of it. My sensi had noticed
me when I walked in, but said nothing until it was time for the class to
take a break. I noticed that the class was occupied by all women.

"Hi." said Sensi Ming.

"Hi." I said. "What happened to the class?"

"I teach women's self defense now." she said with a smile.

"Cool, so when can I join?"

"Well, it is for woman, you are not woman, no."

"You teach women's self defense and martial arts right?"

"No, I teach them some techniques, but used only in defense."

I raise a brow. "Why not just teach them martial arts?"

"Martial art is concentrated, takes long time, the women need to learn to
defend themselves now. If someone wants to learn more they can come to me."

I got angry. "How can you do this!?!" I shouted a little louder than I
wanted? "You had a successful martial arts dojo and you threw it all away."

"This is what I wish to devote my life to," she said softly grabbing my arm
to pull me away from the students. "You would know and understand if you
had been here."

I snatched away from her. "This is what you want to dedicate your life to?"
The women were all listening now. "Teaching self defense? A good martial
artist can teach that. You're a master!"

"How dare you talk to her like that! She's doing something good to help
women." I heard a voice say. I turned to see a taller than average Asian
girl.

"Aja?" I said. I hadn't seen her in so long. She was tops in her class and
from the looks of her uniform I gathered she had gained her black belt.
"She taught you everything you know about the art!"Aja walked over to me
and slapped me. I looked at the women. "It is about time you learned some
manners."

"Do not fight him, he is your brother. I taught you both."

"He is no brother of mine. A true brother wouldn't disrespect his sensi.
He's been gone for months, now he barges in here like he's someone special.
This is a lesson that's long overdue." I squinted. She allowed her uniform
jacket to slide from her body revealing a slender muscular upper body. I
could only imagine the lower body. But the last time I remember she was
like a string bean. Flexible and agile but one good strike could probably
break her. She took a closed fist stance.

"I'm not going to fight you." I said.

"Good then my job will be easy." She came at me like lightning. striking me
several times in the face and chest. I fell to the floor and rolled away
quickly. She was just playing with me to see what I was made of, but her
punches did hurt. She came at me again, I swung around, my trench coat
making a "swoosh" sound as I blocked and parried her punches and kicks. We
broke contact. She took a strong stance, I spun around and came out of the
spin in a low to the ground stance. She moved back in on me. I was doing a
great job of blocking and parrying. She was precise and accurate. I was
worrying about looking good and being flashy, spinning around and posing a
lot during the fight. As the fight went on I got tired and finally she got
me. KRAK!! I took a good one to the face. KRAK!! I took another before I
could gather my senses. I was sweating and she had just begun to sweat. She
struck me in the stomach burring her fist as deep as she could and though I
wasn't mister flab, I wasn't hard as I used to be and tightening my stomach
didn't stop the punch from releasing much of the air I'd just inhaled, and
it didn't stop the force which knocked me to the floor. I landed on one
knee, fist to the floor for balance.

I tried to regain my breath, but she was on me again. I blocked two
oncoming kicks and a stomp. I got back to my feet and moved in. Not one of
my punches or kicks were allowed to touch her except only to be blocked.
Suddenly she she spun as I swung I missed and her open hand crashed into my
midsection causing to me to fly into an oncoming wall. I slid down the wall
as she moved back in. I did a kipup, getting back to my feet. We went at it
fast and furious again. None of my punches made it through, atleast three
of her did, but finally I managed to fake for the face giving her two open
hands to the midsection causing her to slid across the polished wood floor.
I saw the look on my sensi's face, sensing that she didn't like this one
bit. Aja leap to her face almost unfazed and once again with lightning
speed came in. This time was it. I was tired and sweating, but I managed
until "WHAM!" her fist crashed into my jaw like it was meant to be there.
She dazed me but kept hitting me. I could feel her fist slam into my back,
chest, and the side of my neck.

I tried to do some strikes but she dodged them all and drove her fist into
my stomach and this time I was off guard so her fist went deep into my
untightened stomach. I dropped to my knees and she kicked me in the face
about five times. I feel to the floor. I couldn't believe I was still
conscious. I got back up as quick as I could. "You will not bear children!"
she said. She tried to send her foot into my groin. "Keeeeeyaaaa!" I sent
both fist spiraling down to block as she sent one fist to my face,
bloodying my nose. I spun and stumbled, but obviously I was taking to long
to fall because she ran to a wall placing her foot on it, using it for
height and momentum then spinning off of it fly kicked me dead in the face.
I fell. She grabbed my legs and pulled them apart raising her foot. "I told
you, no children."

"Bust his balls girl!" I heard someone shout. My eye grew big with fear.

"Make him scream!" another shouted.

"Bust his scrotum sack!" still others shouted.

"Enough!" shouted Sensi Ming. "This isn't what we're about."

Aja set her foot down, but slightly kicked my testies just to let me know
she had no qualms about busting my balls. I laid my head on the floor and
decided sleep was what I needed right then. She smiled as I went out. When
I came to Sensi had walked over and was helping me up. She took me to her
quarters in the dojo and tended to my wounds.

"That bitch is a maniac." I said and I didn't throw the word bitch around
lightly.

"You bought this on yourself." she said wiping my nose. She checked to see
was anything broken, then left when she was satisfied I was pretty much
okay. Later on Aja came in and stood over me as I lay on the cot.

"Came to apologuise." I said sarcastically.

"I came to make sure you remember this event and never repeat it, because
next time we meet on the field of combat, I will grind your balls to
powder." She smiled, slapped me slightly, and slipped one of her shoes off
as she climbed onto the bed and stood over me.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

She rested her foot on my chest then moved her toe downward to my navel.
She quickly moved the toe around tearing my navel skin with the sharp toe
nail. I moaned in agony. I moved to fight, but she put her foot on my groin
and pointed to her nose. I didn't know if she wanted me to try to hit her
or if she was saying "I've already bloodied your nose." Either way I
thought better of it. "I've marked you." she said. She climbed down from
the bed, turned and walked out.

Present:
After college money was tight with the student loan and all so I cut out
the gym and the martial arts. I still did my daily regimen of push-ups and
sit-ups. Arden was having family problems and came back here to Chicago to
stay. In the meantime he'd met this hottie named Tesa who looked like a lot
like Christi Wolf, and they moved in together for awhile. I lost touch with
Arden but I still managed to keep in touch with some friends on the
circuit, but out of sight out of mind and all that. The problem is, now it
seems that I always end up in some sticky situation with a female
bodybuilder. It's like fate playing an evil joke. When I was looking to
meet female bodybuilders I couldn't find them, now they seem to be all over
the place and all of them seem to have a beef with me, some of them I don't
even know. Even though their rough times. I have my female friends, some
are bodybuilders others aren't, that Daiana Valkyrie lady from the internet
seems pretty nice and she helps me out sometimes. I have some great guy
friends too. All and all life goes on. I don't know why this is happening
to me, but it is. I have no choice but to bare the burden of this foul joke
of fate. To seek out the root of it and find the cause. Making friends,
enemies and associates all at the same time. These are my stories I am
Atomicboy!
