《Bounty Cats》Book Two: Catfight!
Advertisement
The audience around the ring cheered inside the enormous dome. Luna swallowed her pride and walked down the red carpet pathway. She annoyed the men gazing at her red leather bikini outfit and the red bandana over her head, across her eyes. If they were girls, well, that would be a different story.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer shouted through a mic. "Here comes the new challenger! Hellcat!"
Of course, Hellcat wasn't Luna’s real name. Just an undercover name to make her wrestling persona sound good.
The crowd cheered and booed together. To lower the booing, she raced toward the ring. She backflipped over the ropes and landed toward the center with her arms raised. More cheers echoed through her ears with excitement.
"Way to go, Hellcat!" Her partner, Rei Young, shook her fist in the air below the ropes. The cute orange lynx cat girl wore a dark pantsuit that almost gave her a tomboy look.
Rei disguised herself as Hellcat's agent who got Luna into the match. Rei may be a teenager, but she was good at persuading people. Plus, Luna wrote her a script so she wouldn't screw up.
Luna winked at Rei with a grin.
"Now for the next challenger, here comes Tezcatlipoca!" The announcer shouted.
On the other side, a tall muscular jaguar strolled down the red carpet, roaring like a beast with her arms up. She wore a golden breastplate bikini top over a green loincloth. Feathers hung around her upper arms and lower legs. Golden braces were on her wrists, and a golden helmet with blue feathers stood over her head. With all those ornaments on her, the jaguar woman could be mistaken as an Aztec goddess.
"I thought Tezcatlipoca was a male Aztec god," Rei whispered.
Luna shrugged. "Some wrestlers don't care. They take names for the show."
Tezcatlipoca approached a stone table and pulled out a macuahuitl sword. She raised her weapon and slammed it through the solid furniture.
Without a crack, the table collapsed to the floor in half, and the crowd burst into a loud applause. Tezcatlipoca dropped her weapon and raised her arms up again, admiring her worshippers.
Show off, Luna thought with a soft sigh.
Tezcatlipoca glared at Luna and pointed her finger at her. Then she pointed her finger at the broken stone table. Apparently, she was comparing Luna to the table as a threat. Wrestlers love to act dramatic.
The jaguar jumped into the ring and removed her helmet, allowing her long black hair to fall down her back.
Luna blushed a little, finding the jaguar woman quite beautiful. She would enjoy tackling Tezcatlipoca's abs and wrestle her in bed. But she has to keep her head straight in the game. If she loses, she will fail the mission.
Tezcatlipoca licked her muzzle. "Are you ready to be sacrificed?"
Luna smiled. "No, but I am ready to sacrifice your ass."
Tezcatlipoca growled. Whether that would give her a good reason to squeeze Luna to death, Luna didn’t care. Sometimes angering your opponent could push them off their guard.

"Let the match begin!" The announcer shouted.
After the bell rang, Tezcatlipoca took the first charge. Luna stood her ground as she swung her left fist.
But Tezcatlipoca caught her fist and squeezed it, so hard, Luna groaned. It wasn't too painful. Her hands were bionic, but it felt like nails were digging through her knuckles. The circuits through her limbs were her nerves connected to her brain. At least the circuits didn't make her scream in agony.
Tezcatlipoca chuckled and threw Luna to the ground. While Luna laid on her back, Tezcatlipoca turned around and dropped her ass toward the panther's face.
Luna rolled away from the jaguar's enormous butt. Her face could have turned into a flat meat pie if she didn't move quickly.
She sprung onto her feet and wrapped her arms around Tezcatlipoca, squeezing the big catgirl's throat. But the jaguar dropped back and landed on Luna.
Pow!
It felt like a boulder crushed Luna.
"Wow! That would turn her into a pancake!" The announcer shouted.
After Tezcatlipoca got up, she grabbed Luna’s legs and swung her around like a hammer throw ball. The entire world spun around Luna until the jaguar released her legs.
Smack!
The back of Luna hit the blue pole in the corner. Her head turned dizzy like an egg, ready to burst open.
"Come on, Luna!" Rei shouted behind her. "You can do it!"
Luna shook her head and grabbed the ropes to pull herself up. She hated losing.
When Tezcatlipoca charged toward her, Luna pushed her back against the ropes. She let go, sending her flying toward her opponent.
Her head slammed into Tezcatlipoca's abs, and then the jaguar fell back to the floor within the ring. Luna wrapped her arms around Tezcatlipoca's neck, placing her into a tight headlock.
But the jaguar grabbed Luna’s tail and squeezed it. Luna cried as the shock hit her nerves from her tail.
"This is why wrestlers should remove their tails before their match!" the announcer explained. "If you think squeezing someone's tail is bad, imagine someone stepping on it!"
Luna let go when she couldn’t bear the pain any longer. But it only allowed Tezcatlipoca to wrap her arms and legs around Luna.
She slammed Luna to the floor, still clenching to her. While on top of her, Tezcatlipoca squeezed Luna with all her might.
"Wow! Talk about a big ass bear hug!" The announcer shouted. "It looks like there is no escape for Hellcat this time!"
No escape my ass! Luna hissed as her bones rattled and oxygen barely passed through her arching system.
How could Tezcatlipoca be squeezing her so easily? Luna’s body was full of cybernetic implants and metal bones. She should be solid as a freaking freight train!
Maybe Tezcatlipoca has more gears inside her body than Luna. How could the Moreau City Wrestling Federation allow augmented Humanimal wrestlers into a match? It was the same as cheating because cyborg wrestlers are stronger than normal wrestlers. Perhaps nobody cared as long as the match entertained the audience.

Time to get kinky. Luna wiggled her fingers under the jaguar's belly.
Tezcatlipoca's face turned red, and she laughed with chuckles and giggles. When her arms loosened, Luna pushed the brute off and jumped to her feet.
She clambered up onto a corner post and watched Tezcatlipoca rise. Before the jaguar noticed, Luna leaped off the post as she aimed her feet toward Tezcatlipoca's head, knocking the jaguar to the floor.
"Ouch!" The announcer cried. "A kick to the face is never good, people!"
Tezcatlipoca landed on her butt and rubbed her nose. Before she noticed, Luna grabbed her tail and squeezed it hard.
The jaguar screamed and dropped on all fours. She hissed as if someone stepped on her toe.
"Give up!" Luna shouted.
The jaguar groaned, flashing her fangs. "Never!"
Luna twisted the tail. "I can do this all night!"
Tezcatlipoca screamed harder.
If Luna pulled her tail longer, she could yank Tezcatlipoca's tail off. The wrestler can't continue her career for a while until she could recover. Or she could purchase herself a mechanic tail.
Tezcatlipoca groaned more until she smacked the floor.
"Tezcatlipoca has tapped out!" The announcer shouted. "Hellcat is the winner!"
Not yet. Luna sat on Tezcatlipoca's rear. She pulled out her handcuffs from her thong and cuffed Tezcatlipoca's wrists together.
The jaguar stared back toward her. "What are you doing?"
Luna held her wrist toward Tezcatlipoca, flashing her holographic identity.

"You are under arrest for using unlicensed muscle enhancements here," Luna explained. "And you have the right to shut the f**k up."
Tezcatlipoca laughed. "You think you can take me down easily? Think again!"
Suddenly, the jaguar broke the handcuffs off and pushed Luna off her back. When she jumped onto her feet, Tezcatlipoca pulled out a small glass tube, full of some kind of red chemical.
"Wow! It looks like Tezcatlipoca will not accept defeat!" said the announcer.
Tezcatlipoca gulped the liquid down her throat and tossed the tube over the ropes.
She growled in pain as her body grew taller and taller. Her muscles expanded with pumping veins spreading around her muscles. Even her fangs and claws grow sharper, like knives, ready to slice through meat. Her bikini top and loincloth fell off, leaving her completely naked.
After she grew with enormous muscles, the giant jaguar roared at the ceiling, shaking the entire floor.
The audience screamed and rushed to the exit.
"Stay calm, everyone!" The announcer shouted with little concern in his voice. "I….. Think this is all part of the show!"
Tezcatlipoca glared down at Luna. Her eyes glowed white, as if she had lost her sense of humanity. That chemical must be the mutagen she smuggled to cheat her matches. Luna never heard of Tezcatlipoca turning into a naked steroid monster before in the ring. Perhaps she overdosed to escape from Luna. Well, that would not happen on Luna’s watch.
"Rei! My gun!" Luna shouted.
Her partner climbed over the ropes and tossed Luna’s E-gun.
Luna caught it, but Tezcatlipoca grabbed her and lifted her up. The naked giant brought Luna toward her face, growling like a T-Rex.
Without a second thought, Luna aimed her gun. "Eat this!"
She shot one bolt into the giant's face.
Tezcatlipoca cried as she dropped Luna. More bolts flashed across her amazon body, forcing her to scream.
Luna landed on her feet and noticed the giant was falling down toward her. "Shit!"
She leaped and landed toward the corner as Tezcatlipoca's nude body landed on her stomach.
Kaboom!
The entire ring rocked as if a meteor crashed.
Luna sighed.
"Unbelievable!" The announcer cried. "Hellcat has taken down the giantess, Tezcatlipoca! What a show!"
Luna noticed the entire arena was empty. So why the hell the announcer was still speaking through his mic?
"Daebag! Daebag!" Rei rushed toward Luna. "You are so daebag, Luna!"
Luna croaked her head. "Daebag?"
Rei giggled. "It means awesome!" She threw her fist into the air. "Yahoooo!"
Luna laughed and glanced at Tezcatlipoca's body. The naked giant was still breathing, but she didn't change back to normal. She will not stay unconscious for long.
"I better call back-up to send that giant ass to the Pound," Luna stated. "If she escapes, she will go Godzilla in the city."
"The Pound?" Rei asked, blinking her cute eyes.
"The prison. We called it the Pound because it is full of Humanimal criminals. Remember?"
Rei giggled. "Oh, I forgot. I thought it is just called the Prison."
Luna shook her head and crossed her arms. "You are still a kitty."
