"Yes, Supergirl" gloated MegaWoman, "You are the latest in a long line of my conquests! Spectacular, don't you think?"
Becca was stunned by the not altogether unexpected appearance of her Supergirl costume. Indeed, the crystal statue was spectaular; catching SuperBecca at what must of been peak power. The minidress seemed to strain to conform to muscles that were, for Becca now, merely a memory. Her proud "S" logo spread over a magnificient chest. The statue was accurate in every detail, even down to the nipples of her breasts which always were hard and erect when she was fully powered and poised for battle and to the "six-pack" of abs which was clearly visible as the blue fabric of the costume stretched across them above the golden belt that circled her waist.. Even though transparent, the statue's thighs emerged from the short skirt almost seeming to surge with super strength while it's calfs filled the tops of Becca's bright red boots with superhuman muscle. Becca briefly looked down at what she was now wearing - the bland black and white costume that belonged in an aerobics class, not upon the body of a superheroine - and at her own not-so-super-at-the-moment body and was depressed. She remembered looking as good as the statue appeared but is seemed so much longer ago that just earlier in the morning of this day .... a day that seemed to go on forever! Though it woldn't give her any more strength, she had to get her own costume back; both to bouy her ego and to deprive MegaWoman of at least this one trophy!
Becca moved towards the cylinder but MegaWoman stepped in between the and the transparent cylinder. "Don't even try, Supergirl!" admonished MegaWoman but Becca pressed on, her body pushing MegaWoman aside. "OK!" MegaWoman responded as Becca reached back to Super-punch the cylinder, "Have it your way!"
Becca put all of her still depelted power into a single punch which landed solidly against the cylinder. To her horrible suprise, the cylinder didn't shatter under her Supergirl strength .... but her fist almost did. Almost by instinct, Becca drew her still clinched fist to her chest and covered it with her other hand, desparately trying to masage away the pain while trying to hide the grimace that had spread across her face. For someone unaccustomed to pain, her hand was in agony. Never before had SuperBecca found a material that would not yield to her super strength yet the cylinder was unscathed.
"I tried to warn you, Supergirl!" said MegaWoman with a bit of a chuckle as she watched Becca try to soothe her hurt hand. "Not even I can break through the outter cylinder and I think we proved today that I'm the more powerful of us." MegaWoman took a single stride towards Becca, roughly grasped the front of Becca's black sports bra top and yanked the Girl of Steel from her feet. Becca gasped as MegaWoman's talon-like nails scratched her breasts as they desended through Becca's cleavage. Like the rest of Becca's superpowers, her invulnerability was greatly diminished. It was present to a degree adequate to prevent MegaWoman's nails from actually braking her skin and drawing blood but it was not sufficient to prevent the pain. If her superstrength was in no better shape....and it wasn't....Becca was about to be thrashed! She dangled helplessly in MegaWoman's grasp. She had been no match for her even at full power how could she survive a battle in her weakened state?
SuperBecca squirmed but suspended in mid air as she was by MegaWoman's grasp, her resistance had little effect. Becca grabed hold of MegaWoman's arm but found her depleted super powers ineffective in breaking MegaWoman's grip. MegaWoman's eyes flared at Becca as she first lifted Becca even higher into the air and then slammed her free fist into Becca's lower torso. Becca groaned openly - her invulnerability protected her from injury but could not protect her from the pain. A second punch hit its target higher on Becca's abdomen...then another and another. Becca was taking a beating again and could do nothing about it. Finally, MegaWoman released her grasp and Becca crumbled helplessly to the floor.
"Gotta get up," thought Becca as her weakend muscles and devastated abs protested their mistress' commands for action, "Can't let her do this to me. I'm Supergirl......Gotta...fight...back! Becca slowly struggled to her feet. She moved so slowly that MegaWoman could have easily slammed her back to the ground. But instead, MegaWoman patiently waited for Becca to regain her footing.
As Becca struggled, MegaWoman towered over her. MegaWoman was larger than Becca to begin with and more heavily muscled though still totally feminine. Her bronze body was clad in a skin tight white costume that accented every muscle and every cruve. Tall white boots rose past mid-thigh from thick platform soles and the highest of heels. A formidable sight even to a fully powered opponent - a sight that would have crushed the morale of any other opponent in Becca's perdicament. But, Becca wasn't just any other opponent, she was Supergirl and that knowledge kept her going.
Becca finally gained her footing. Even as she stood, Becca was not all that steady. Even though lower than MegaWoman's, the high heels of her black boots were a real liablity at this point as Becca struggled to maintain her balance. Becca finally lashed out at her opponent with all her might. MegaWoman easily dodged Becca's first punch while allowing her second to land feebly upon MegaWoman's own rock-hard abs. Becca was stunned - first by the ineffectiveness of her attack and second by another stinging blow from her foe directly to Becca's jaw. The punch spun Becca around and disrupted her already wobbly sence of balance. Becca was only prevented from doing a face plant onto the floor by the grasp of MegaWoman who was now standing behind Becca and encircling Becca with her awesomely muscled arms.
MegaWoman jerked Becca back to her feet while beginning to apply crushing pressure anound Becca's mid-section. Becca's arms were pinned between MegaWoman's and her torso. Becca strained to break or at least ease MegaWoman's grip upon her but MegaWoman's muscles and the power within them were far too much for the weakened Supergirl. MegaWoman could feel Becca's puny efforts and smiled as she thrusted her clasped hands even harder into Becca's gut. The pressure upward and inward on Becca's body was making it harder for the Girl of Steel to take full breaths of air so Becca had begun to pant as she struggled to get the precious oxygen she needed into her restricted lungs. MegaWoman's grasp had also begun to push upward; pushing Becca's ample breasts up and almost out of the top of her make-shift costume. MegaWoman was clearly enjoying the sight of Earth's mightest superheroine struggling ineffectively; especially as Becca exposed herself in the stuggle. Her other victims had been beautiful but Supergirl was the ultimate heroine ... at least on this world ... and while MegaWoman had relished the defeat of her other victims, the defeat of Supergirl was the ultimate thrill....
MegaWoman continued to smile as she poured on the power into her encircling arms. Becca, on the other hand, grimaced as her severely depleted superpowers drained even further in futility. Perspiration was pouring from Becca's forehead as she strained - hoping that somehow she could overcome the crushing power of MegaWoman. Becca's normally beautiful and shiny blonde hair was matted with the sweat of the exertion. The same sweat ran in rivers down her slender neck, over formerly powerful shoulders and over her once mighty chest before disappearing between Becca's still magnificent breasts which had finally been forced from the protection of her costume. Of course Becca's appearance or even her modesty was the last thing on her mind. She was far more concerned about basic survival as MegaWoman threatened to crush her now far from super body.
Unable to break MegaWoman's grip, Becca's mind raced desparately to figure out some way to escape. "Just too weak......" thought Becca. "Don't know what's wrong with ma' powers. No Kryptonite..... Felt fine after the first battle but second one left me whipped. Can't break her grip ..... she's just too strong. Gettin' weaker....can't keep up this exertion ..... loosing power....."
"I'm finished," thought SuperBecca - sprawled helplessly on her back at the feet of MegaWoman. Becca's normally invulnerable superbody ached from Megawoman's pounding and crushing grasp. "She's just too powerful...... I couldn't beat her at full strength.....almost got nothin' left now. Ribs may be..broken. Abs couldn't protect 'em! So weak ..... don't understand. NEVER felt this bad before. Hurtin'! Can't .... give ..... up. Supergirl never gives up......doesn't go down without a fight. Being beaten to a pulp isn't the worst thing that could ... GULP!... happen."
SuperBecca's mind went back to the horrible fan fiction available on Earth's "internet." There were some strange people out there! Things that might happen to a superheroine in Becca's current state in those stories were unthinkable. Becca had rather die fighting than face such indignities. If only she could gather enough of her shattered superpower to put up a fight.......
As SuperBecca pondered her situation, MegaWoman gloated. "You put up a good fight, Supergirl.... at least the first two times. I was impressed by you! If I had to judge Earth's superheroines by that pathetic WONDER Woman and POWER Girl I wouldn't have been too impressed. You at least tested me. You and Mighty Melinda.....maybe the stiffest tests I've ever faced. But .... as you see, I was more than up to the test and you ..... well you're here in the Temple of Conquests! How fitting! Perhaps you're wondering why you're so weak?"
"Yeah, I'm wonderin' " thought Becca, "but more importantly, I want you to keep yammering.....MegaBitch!" MegaWoman's speech had somehow transformed an almost hopeless Becca into a badly ticked off ..... though still feeble ...... SuperBecca! "If I can just gather my powers......"
"You see," continued MegaWoman, "this isn't your typical 'base.' It's also my spaceship and so is well shielded against radiation....including the precious radiation from the yellow sun that gives you your superpower. Without that radiation, you can't recover......."
"OK" thought Becca, "that explains it! No sun....no Super in Supergirl. Nothin' I can do about it. Still......gotta fight back with everythin' I can scrape together."
As MegaWoman continued to gloat over the apparently vanquished SuperBecca, the Girl of Steel gathered together every shard of superpower that remained in her tired, battered body. With nothing left to lose, Becca lashed out, swinging her forearm behind the high heels of MegaWoman's boots and yanking her arm through, sending the unsuspecting MegaWoman crashing to the floor. MegaWoman landed hard on her tailbone - shocked by the action of the believed helpless SuperBecca. MegaWoman bounded back to her feet but was suprised to find Becca already standing - almost as surprised as Becca herslef. Although Becca had managed to regain her footing mere milliseconds ahead of MegaWoman - that was something - and Becca needed anything she could get. At least for the moment, both women were in the same position; poised for battle.......
"OK," thought SuperBecca, I'm back on my feet! Now what?"
Becca's question to herself was soon to be answered. MegaWoman was extremely ticked off and the glare with which she looked at Becca left no doubt to that fact. Becca's foe lashed out with a punch to the Maid of Might's belly, which bent Becca over double-grasping at her weakened abs. This position left Becca vulnerable to the upper-cut to Becca's chin that followed and actually lifted Becca off her feet. On the way down, Becca was met by a third crushing blow from MegaWoman which slammed into her upper torso, sending Becca reeling backward and completing the process of dislodging the Super-one's breasts from the black top of her make-shift costume. Becca struggled to maintain her footing but the impact of the final punch had given her too much backward momentum and her legs couldn't stabilize her backward falling body which finally crashed to the floor. Faster than Becca could even think, MegaWoman was on top of her, pummeling the nearly helpless superheroine with her furious fists. Becca's bare belly and her now fully exposed breasts were blasted over and over by fists that were backed up by MegaWomans' incredible strength....strenght thad had - earlier in the day - proven too much for even a fully powered SuperBecca. The non-super Becca could not take this pounding for long ..... and she knew it! She managed to spread her legs to position them outside of MegaWoman's body and then swiftly brought both legs up, locking her ankles behind MegaWoman's back. This did nothing to stop the pounding, but it did allow Becca to put everything she had into shifting her weight and rolling MegaWoman off of her. Suddenly Becca was on top and in a position to return some of the pounding!
SuperBecca did the best she could to give MegaWoman a taste of her own medicine but MegaWoman had been at full strength while Becca had been deprived of the precious yellow-sun radiation she needed for her own energy ever since her second battle with MegaWoman earlier in the day. So....while MegaWoman's punches had been devastating, Becca's own were puny and seemed to bounce off of her opponent's rock hard body. In fact. MegaWoman seemed to be quite content to lay there and absorb whatever Becca could dish out. Becca's attack was far to weak to have much of an effect upon the fully invigorated MegaWoman but was indeed having an effect upon Becca. If was consuming what little power the supergirl retained. Becca was tiring....her motions became slower and her punches packed less and less force. "Gettin.....weaker!" thought Becca, "It's no good......don't have enough strength!"
As if sensing Becca's flagging spirits, MegaWoman resumed the offensive, bringing both fists up to crash into both sides of Becca's head followed up with another uppercut that again knocked Becca backward. The Girl of Steel felt more like ther Girl of Tissue Paper! She wound up sitting atop one of MegaWoman's legs but the other leg was free. It moved quickly, slamming the platform sole and high heel of it's booted foot into Becca's aching belly and sending Becca flailing backwards. Becca tumbled headover heels as she crashed across the floor - powerless to stop herself. Within a fraction of a second, MegaWoman was back to her feet, staring at Becca from across the room, poised to resume an attack that Becca knew she could not endure!
MegaWoman's weight had already shifted to make her move to renew the battle when a tremendous crash and the sound of metal being wrenched apart caused her to release Becca from her stare and spin around to the source of the sound. Through a passageway whose doors had been ripped open by force strode Wonder Woman AND Powergirl!
