A Merlin/Collaborator Production
The Cast Colonel Zad - Ruler of Tradetown: Age 33, 180 lb, 5 feet 10 inches Li Kim-Soo: Aged 24, 130 lb, 5 feet 2 inches The Lash: Aged 28, 160 lbs, 6 feet |

The first semi-final to determine Zad's new bodyguard has been held and
won by the Chaka, the Africa Tribal Queen. Now the second semi
final is to be held. In the red corner stands the beautiful, diminutive Chinese martial arts champion Li Kim Soo in her skin-tight pants and bare feet. In the blue corner towering above her opponent stands the Lash in her trademark black leather thong and army boots. |
|
The two combatants meet in the middle of the ring and turn to salute the seated Colonel Zad. Then they bow to each other in a show of mutual respect. The Lash knows that although she has the height and weight advantage, her opponent is lightening fast and she realises she is in for a tough battle, whereas Li realises that she is going to have to be wary of the sheer power of the Lash and make her speed work for her. |
|
As the two women retreat to their respective corners, The Lash casts a glance towards Zad. She wants him so badly, she wants the power that being Zad's chief bodyguard would give her. "Who knows" she thinks to herself "maybe if things work out the way I want I could be joint ruler of Tradetown one day". But there is work to do before she can realise that dream and she sets herself for the ordeal ahead of her. |
|
Li watches the Lash move across the ring towards her.
She closes her eyes and lets her other senses feel from which direction
the attack will come. The Lash moves closer and throws out her left fist towards Li’s head, but Li senses it coming and whips her body to left, and in an incredibly athletic display she somersaults over the Lash. |
|
The Lash falls backwards as her punch connects with fresh air and her own body's momentum
carries her off balance. Li lands on her feet and, without a pause, spins
round to deliver a kung fu style kick to Lash's face. The Lash crashes to the floor momentarily, before jumping back to her feet and shaking her head in an attempt to clear it. |
