1 - Melissa VS The Minotaur
Melissa wasn't sure exactly how she found herself in this position.
Last week, Melissa May was settling in to her first week of classes. She had decided to go to college to study literature. She liked reading, she liked writing, and she was pretty good at both. Another thing she was good at? Being in debt. So when a mysterious man went around campus promoting his amateur fighting tournament with a million dollar prize, she was immediately interested. She managed to snag one of his flyers before he was politely yet firmly escorted off of campus. "I'd love to see you there, my sweet," he said to Melissa as security escorted him off. "We love to see girls show the guys how to REALLY fight!" His smile was infectious, and she had to admit, he was fairly attractive... in a dark macabre sort of way. Something about him reminded her of death, and yet the excitement he brought made her feel more alive than she had in a long time. She didn't quite understand it, and she didn't need to. All she knew is that she needed to join this tournament and win herself some money. What was the worst that could happen?
Well, who knows the WORST that could happen, but being held upside-down by your ankles by a muscle-bound meathead who calls himself The Minotaur is pretty bad.
She hadn't been much of a fighter in her life, but she figured she could take a few hits and maybe get some lucky punches in. If the man with the flyers just went around to random people to get them to join his fighting tournament, then surely the competition wouldn't be that fierce? Well, Melissa didn't think the flyers were totally honest.
The flyers had said that even just showing up to fight got you $200. Winning your first match was $1000, and winning the whole thing was a million. The flyer also said that it was all local talent, and this dude she was fighting now had a very thick Greek accent. He definitely was NOT from the midwest.
Her name had been pulled first, so she didn't know quite what to expect. There were a decent amount of people in the venue, which was basically just a warehouse with some bleachers and some Japanese stuff thrown around for atmosphere. The flyer didn't give the venue a name, but a sign above the "ring" read Death Dojo, followed by some Japanese symbols. The "ring" itself was just four pillars marking the four corners, with rope connecting the pillars. There was quite a bit of room to move around, which would have been nice had Melissa not been clotheslined two seconds into the match.
Melissa wore her everyday attire. A plain blue tank top with white shorts, and her favorite white sneakers. Her hair was shoulder-length and dark brown. The man with the flyers seemed so nice (despite his skull like facial features), so she was surprised to see how dark, dirty, and dangerous everything here seemed. There was a decent sized crowd, and they all seemed excited to see her get pummeled. So much for showing the guys how to fight.
So the first thing that happened after Melissa met her opponent, who wore black sweat pants and nothing else, was that she got clotheslined. This made her dizzy. The second thing that happened was that her body was pulled up into the air by her ankles. Whatever was going to happen next, she was not looking forward to it.
The Minotaur maneuvered Melissa so that she was behind his back, still being held up. She knew if she didn't do something fast, she would be slammed face-first into the ground, and the match would most likely be over.
Being upside down was incredibly disorienting, but she managed to somehow grab on to her opponent's ankles just as he was going to slam her down. This surprised The Minotaur, and the force of himself yanking on his opponent who in turn yanked on him caused him to lose his footing. Both Melissa and The Minotaur came crashing down onto the floor. Melissa might find the situation comical if she wasn't currently afraid for her life. They wouldn't allow the fights to go that far, would they?
"I WILL KILL YOU!" shouted The Minotaur.
Well then, it would be a good idea to at least assume that death is a possibility here.
Melissa scrambled up to her feet. The Minotaur was strong, but she was fairly thin and could move quickly. The Minotaur was on his hands and knees, and Melissa saw this as an opportunity to strike. She kicked the muscle-bound oaf hard in the stomach. He laughed. She screamed in pain. Damn he's solid! Well, maybe if she kicked him several times, it would weaken him?
No, that would probably lead to her death! She needed a plan, and fast. She couldn't take many hits from this man. She was still dizzy from the clothesline. She looked around the room, but couldn't come up with any ideas. Leaving the ring lead to disqualification, and the way they said the word, "disqualification" led her to believe she would be better off in the ring. At least in here she could clearly see her enemy, and as he finally got up on his feet, she could clearly see that he was very big.
"Well, the bigger they are, the harder they f-FUCK!"
The Minotaur charged at Melissa and she barely got out of the way in time. His head was down and he charged like a bull.
"Why do they call you The Minotaur instead of just The Bull?"
"Bull was already taken. Plus Minotaur sounds scarier."
"Ah. OH SHIT!"
The Minotaur charged again, and again Melissa barely dodged in time. She looked around the room again to see if she could spot anything at all she could use against her opponent. Then she saw it. The pillars in the corner of the ring. They looked sturdy enough, maybe...
The Minotaur charged yet again. He was strong, but awfully predictable. His lack of creativity could be his downfall. Hopefully!
Melissa maneuvered herself so that she was directly between one of the pillars and The Minotaur. If she timed this wrong, she would be the meat in an incredibly violent sandwich. The Minotaur raised his head. Was he done charging? Melissa really needed him to charge one more time.
The Minotaur smiled. "I see what you are doing! You want to trick me! You cannot trick me! I am smart!"
"You're not smart. You're a big fat ugly stupid sack of SHIT!"
"Wha!? I AM NOT FAT!"
The Minotaur charged headfirst towards Melissa, and headfirst into the pillar as she dodged him just in time. CRACK!
"GRAAAAAGHHHH!!"
Damnit! He was still conscious! Though it looked like he was stuck! Well, she could see if she could finish him off somehow, or she could try to make a run for it.
She made it this far, the big oaf was stuck, she had some time to think up something. He was yelling quite loudly, so he must have really hurt himself. Surely she could do something! His head was almost entirely inside the pillar. She tried to chop at his neck, but all that did was hurt her hand. She pounded on his neck over and over again, and eventually it started to feel like she was affecting him. The Minotaur's movements were slowing down. Then she finally had an idea that would win her the match!
Melissa climbed up until she was standing on The Minotaur's back. She was pretty good at keeping her balance, so she wasn't afraid of falling off. Then The Minotaur twisted himself around, and she felt like she was riding on a bull.
"You REALLY should have been called The Bull."
Once she felt like she had regained her balance, she was ready to deliver her final blow. Melissa jumped up into the air...
...and landed directly on The Minotaur's thick neck. Between him twisting around and her entirely body weight being on his neck, that was enough to do some real damage. She heard a popping sound, and The Minotaur's thrashing stopped. She tumbled to the ground and landed on her back, knocking the wind out of her. The crowd went wild and started chanting her name.
"Melanie! Melanie! Melanie!"
Well, it was almost her name. Good enough. She blacked out.
...
When Melissa woke up, she noticed that absolutely everything hurt. Which she supposed was better than what The Minotaur was feeling, which was nothing at all. She realized she was lying on one of the bleachers. Apparently someone had dragged her here. As Melissa started to sit up, the man who came to her campus came up to her with a wad of cash. "$1000 for you, my sweet. You're either very lucky or very skilled at looking like you're very lucky."
"Am I in trouble for killing my opponent?"
"Oh no, dear. Many of our fights end in death. Forgive me, but it's very hard to advertise a tournament that believes that death is an acceptable occurrence in the ring. Authorities don't look too kindly upon death matches. Not all of our matches end in death, they go on until I decide that they are over."
"Would you have stopped the match before that idiot broke my neck or crushed me to death?"
"Absolutely, my sweet!"
Melissa felt he was being less than honest. She was glad to be alive and was more than ready to get out of this place.
"You may leave now with your money, of course, or you may stay and watch the remaining matches."
"I'm going to head home, and I don't think I'll be coming back here for round two next week."
"That's completely up to you, of course! You may take your money and stay home, content that you fought a fierce battle and triumphed. After all, a winner is a winner whether they fight one battle or one hundred."
"Thanks."
The man got up and started to walk away. He took a few steps, paused and turned around.
"Of course, the winner of round two gets $10,000."
Melissa could really use that money.
"Round three is $100,000... the final round is..."
"A million, right, I remember."
"Think about it, others may choose to not return next week, then there would be less people you'd have to compete with..."
The man smiled and walked away. The next fight was about to start.
Melissa had a decision to make.
THE END
Melissa wasn't sure exactly how she found herself in this position.

The Minotaur maneuvered Melissa so that she was behind his back, still being held up. She knew if she didn't do something fast, she would be slammed face-first into the ground, and the match would most likely be over.
His grip on her ankles was just too tight. She tried to wriggle her way out of his grasp, but to no avail. The Minotaur gave a shout as he slammed Melissa into the floor. Her face smashed into the concrete, and she immediately lost consciousness. The crowd starting cheering, and The Minotaur was loving every second of the attention. He looked down at his opponent, and noticed blood starting to pool under her head. He lifted her head up by her hair to reveal her bloody face, eyes rolled back and jaw totally slack. He placed one of his massive hands under her chin, with his other still holding on to her hair. The Minotaur violently twisted Melissa's head, giving off a gross popping and crackling sound. He then took his hand off of her chin but continued holding on to her hair. He shook her head around a few times to show off his win for the day, then slammed it back down into the hard floor. The flyers had failed to mention that death was a common outcome for the losers of the Death Dojo.
Being upside down was incredibly disorienting, but she managed to somehow grab on to her opponent's ankles just as he was going to slam her down. This surprised The Minotaur, and the force of himself yanking on his opponent who in turn yanked on him caused him to lose his footing.

She kicked the muscle-bound oaf hard in the stomach. He laughed. She screamed in pain. Damn he's solid! Well, maybe if she kicked him several times, it would weaken him?
Melissa tried to kick her thick solid opponent again, but this time The Minotaur caught her foot. He brought her down to the ground as he grabbed her legs and flipped her over onto her stomach. She tried to crawl away, but to no avail. The Minotaur put her into a boston crab. He slowly bent her in half. Melissa screamed out as she could feel and hear the bones in her back breaking. She felt a second of relief as The Minotaur eased up on the pressure, then he put everything he had into bringing her legs down on top of her body. The Minotaur sat down on top of Melissa's head while still holding her legs. Melissa felt excruciating pain, and then nothing at all.
The Minotaur let go of Melissa's legs, but they simply stayed in place. She was bent completely in half and totally limp. He could see she was still breathing, though barely. To remedy this, he kicked her legs apart, as they were resting on her head, then he stomped down on the back of Melissa's head. After twitching a few times, Melissa's movements stopped completely. The Minotaur flexed his muscles and drank in the crowd's excitement. They chanted his name as he walked out of the ring, and no one there even remembered the name of the poor girl who lost the first match of the day to The Minotaur.

The Minotaur charged again, and again Melissa barely dodged in time. She looked around the room again to see if she could spot anything at all she could use against her opponent. Then she saw it. The pillars in the corner of the ring. They looked sturdy enough, maybe...
While Melissa was looking around, ignoring her very dangerous opponent, The Minotaur charged forward a third time, and this time found his mark.
"GWAAUGH!" Melissa was hit in her midsection by The Minotaur's head. He continued charging, taking Melissa with him, and they slammed into the very pillar Melissa was planning on luring The Minotaur into. Instead of The Minotaur's head smashing into the pillar, it was The Minotaur's head smashing into her body smashing into the pillar.
"GYAH! AHHHGHGHghgh....." Melissa went limp. The Minotaur stepped back and looked up into his opponent. She was embedded into the pillar. He watched as she started to fall out of the indentation they put into it. As she landed on her knees, The Minotaur stopped her from falling completely by grabbing her by the neck. She gagged a little, though she was mostly unconscious. He smacked her a few times in the face. "Wake up, girl."
As her eyes slowly opened, all she could see was a giant man in front of her. His hand was around her neck. This wasn't good. She clawed at his arm as he lifted her up into the air by her throat. He slammed her into the pillar multiple times until her arms fell limp and she lost consciousness again. He grabbed her neck with his other hand so that he now had both hands on her throat. He squeezed as hard as he could and heard a crunching sound. Melissa's body twitched a few times then stopped. He held her there for about half a minute to make sure she was completely finished. Then he just let go and she crumpled to the floor.
The repair bill for the broken pillar would be all on him, but if he won a few more fights it wouldn't really matter. Whatever it took to win, he would win. Nothing and no one would stop him.

"GRAAAAAGHHHH!!"
Damnit! He was still conscious! Though it looked like he was stuck! Well, she could see if she could finish him off somehow, or she could try to make a run for it.
Fuck this place, Melissa had to get out, and now was her best chance. Everyone seemed surprised that this relatively small girl could cause that kind of damage to a man that size (though he caused that damage himself), she thought she could get away in the shock and confusion. She ducked under the rope serving as the line of the ring and ran as fast as she could towards the exit. A big man about the same size as The Minotaur appeared in front of her, and somehow she was now looking back at the ring. How is that possible? She never turned around, she should still be facing the exit. Then she realized, her head was on backwards. The second she realized the big security guard had snapped her neck, twisting it completely around to face the opposite direction she was standing, she crumpled to the floor, dead. The Minotaur wins by forfeiture!
She made it this far, the big oaf was stuck, she had some time to think up something. He was yelling quite loudly, so he must have really hurt himself. Surely she could do something! His head was almost entirely inside the pillar. She tried to chop at his neck, but all that did was hurt her hand.

"You REALLY should have been called The Bull."
Once she felt like she had regained her balance, she was ready to deliver her final blow. Melissa jumped up into the air...
...and completely screwed up her landing. She had intended to land on his neck, but instead she landed on his shoulder. She flipped over and fell to the floor. Instead of landing on The Minotaur's neck, she landed on the floor with her neck.
CRACK!
Her body toppled over and crumpled into a heap. The last sound Melissa heard was the sound of the audience laughing at her humiliating defeat. The Minotaur had won, though at the moment he wasn't sure exactly how or why.
After pulling his head out of the pillar, he looked around confused. Apparently the match was over and he was victorious. He looked down at the floor to see the silly girl in a twisted pile. He picked her up by her head and lifted her up to show off his new trophy. The audience cheered, and The Minotaur was laughing and smiling. He never had an opponent kill herself before!

When Melissa woke up, she noticed that absolutely everything hurt. Which she supposed was better than what The Minotaur was feeling, which was nothing at all. She realized she was lying on one of the bleachers. Apparently someone had dragged her here. As Melissa started to sit up, the man who came to her campus came up to her with a wad of cash. "$1000 for you, my sweet. You're either very lucky or very skilled at looking like you're very lucky."
"Am I in trouble for killing my opponent?"
"Oh no, dear. Many of our fights end in death. Forgive me, but it's very hard to advertise a tournament that believes that death is an acceptable occurrence in the ring.

The man smiled and walked away. The next fight was about to start.
Melissa had a decision to make.
