"Wendy, I just want you to know that I hope you're ok. You can take all the time you want, but when you finally decide to come out, I promise we'll go out for some ice-cream, like always."
Chloe was standing outside of her best friend's room. It had been a week since Wendy's devastating loss against Olivia and she hadn't set a foot outside her house ever since. The futanari had been completely humiliated and her most shameful side, both physical and mental, had been publicly exposed. Worse still, she was passed out after the fight and had to be carried out in a stretcher and taken to a nearby medical facility, where she remained unconscious until the day later; such had been the level of pain and sexual bliss she had experienced at the time.
Chloe could easily understand how it would have been hard for Wendy to show her face anywhere. Regardless, in the culture of futanari, it was relatively common to witness a Sexfighter be humiliated once or twice in their career: it was almost bound to happen if someone participated in fights for long enough. Mismatches and unlucky days occur, and anyone was vulnerable to be made into a bottom in any given bout. Still, the combination of a first mayor defeat along with the public loss of virginity was a heavy load for any one futanari, so Chloe was ready to give her friend some time to recover. After all, she was sure Wendy would have been able to bounce back, and when she did she was determined to greet her as a stronger, more competent version of herself.
Indeed, Chloe had experienced a sort of awakening while watching Olivia perform. It was as if a part of the potential that was dormant in her blood had been triggered into action. While she waited for Wendy to get better, she was working on plans and goals of her own, and the first step to achieve them was clear. That same day, after leaving her best friend's house, Chloe headed straight to her university and specifically to the gym where the Sexfighting club was gathered.
Upon entering, Chloe immediately stood out. Although a futanari like her wouldn't have normally been very well known, many of the members of the club recognized her as "that one futa who was the cause for most of the fights Wendy got into." As she walked through the mats where Sexfighters were practicing and discussing wrestling techniques, Chloe could sense the stares piercing through her. Finally, a hand clenched her arm from behind. Turning around with a bit of apprehension, the futanari was relieved when she recognized the face of Luna.
"Hello there, Chloe! What brings you to my gym? Well, sorry, I don't mean to be insensitive. If you're here to talk about Wendy then I understand. I assume at least part of the responsibility as her trainer and coach for not having convinced her to drop out of such a one-sided matchup and-"
But Chloe quickly interjected, cutting off the club captain.
"Uh, sorry, I'm afraid that's not why I'm here, though I appreciate the sentiment. I'm actually here to join the gym."
Slowly pulling her hand away, Luna's expression morphed into one of confusion and disbelief.
"You saw what happened to your friend and THAT'S when you decide to try and get into sexfighting? I can see why Wendy was fascinated with you, you're quite peculiar indeed."
Chloe then laughed in an unsettling tone.
"Yeah, I know it's unusual. After I saw that match, I decided that I wanted to be strong. I want to be strong enough to beat someone like Olivia."
The second Chloe voiced that statement, Luna's eyes shifted dramatically.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to reject your application, if that's the case."
The captain then quickly turned to walk away, but she was held back by a hand clenching her shoulder.
"Hey. Wait. I don't know if you thought I was joking, but I mean no disrespect or mockery with what I'm saying; I'm serious."
Shoving her hand away from her and once again staring at Chloe, the club captain responded with authority.
"It's precisely because I know you're serious that I cannot allow you to join. It's one thing that I was too permissive with the whims of a talented student of mine, but it would be a whole other level of stupidity if I let a complete amateur train and fight on the basis of crazy delusions."
Frustrated, Chloe didn't hesitate to snap back.
"Then how about I challenge you?"
The daring words brought many of the nearby trainees to silence as they interrupted their practice and turned to look at the scene. Luna raised an eyebrow.
"You're challenging me?"
Chloe felt the pressure of the situation building on her shoulders, but a flash of Olivia's face in her mind made her push forward.
