Description

A few days pass after the incident with the gang member. Laura preferred to avoid the gym on daily basis and instead just met Sam every day to train her inflation capacity and of course, mostly her resilience.

But on Friday, the event at the gym was too important but be ignored. Indeed, as Petra mentioned, there was an exhibition tournament on this day.
Aside from the opportunity to spare and exchange with other wrestlers, the major interest of those kinds of reunions was to show yourself to sponsor and professional team manager... basically, it was the place to start your career. It was a bit early for Laura to think about any professional plan or whatever, her technique isn't clear enough yet for anything like that. But still, she wants to fight other participants at their maximum, such as Petra of course.

Sam and Laura arrived with some advance this time, as always, they got straight into the locker while no one was watching and proceeded as always.

Sam: Laura, I want you to inflate

At this point, it became... pretty usual for the two. The air naturally filled Laura, her sports outfit stretching out while her bouncy curves push against it, spacing her feet step by step as her legs swell and her hips enlarge. It was just a matter of seconds, sound of stretch, inflation, and other bounce filling the room and she was ready to go.

S: Hmm... you look a bit more full than usual, especially your limbs.

L: Yep, I'm getting used to this body shape, and I feel confident enough to move around like that.

Laura was indeed slightly bigger, but it was barely noticeable aside from her arms and legs.

S: I guess that's ok, but don't increase your size too frequently here, people might be suspicious if they see you gaining volume this fast.

After a few stretches, Laura and Sam joined the main room. The ambiance was very different. Rather than the usual few training materials and a few marks to show the border of a few arenas, all the sides of the arena were covered by bleachers, all turned toward the middle of the room where a proper arena was set up. One of the corners was used as space for the fighter to rest and talk before going on the ring.

At this point, Sam and Laura have to split up, Sam placed in with the public from now on, and Laura joined the other wrestler in the corner.
Laura quickly check the other fighter and after a few seconds... realized that Petra was missing, which was pretty surprising since she is the one who wanted to meet Laura today.
Laura checked the scoreboard and yes, Petra's name was here... meaning that she was intended. And that might be an issue since from what this board says... Petra will be the first opponent of Laura.
"She is probably just late* thought Laura.

While the first match started, Laura managed to sneak up to Olivia, her trainer. Visibly, she looked a bit worried too.

L: Does Petra often come late to this kind of event.

O: Well normally not, tho I'm not fully surprised. I mean, she still got time anyway.

Laura shrugs, there isn't much to do other than wait. So she just got closer the Sam to talk a bit and maybe kill time. Upon seeing Laura struggling to get closer to him with her large proportion, Sam also moved toward her.
They managed to find a pretty isolated seat on the upper part of the bleachers.

L: Not sure why but Petra is Late apparently.

S: I noticed that, does that happen often to her?

L: Well that's not surprising. We stop seeing each other so long ago time ago but already back she was often unfocused at times.

S: I see, when you're in middle school you don't have much opportunity to be late.

L: That's the idea, but we weren't known for stuff like that all three of us managed to get quite a reputation back then *laughs*

S: All three?

L: Yeah, we had one other friend, and all three of us were crazy enough to scare the teenager almost 3 years older than us.

S: So you were quite a fighter back then already... Talking about that, how did you become this strong in fistfights, Not gonna lie that was more than impressive to neutralize 3 armed guys like that.

L: I dunno, martial art has been my favorite thing as far as I can remember. No idea if it's because I watched too many cartoons around that or something else but I remember crying all the time to join the martial art junior club. And my passion for it never changes while aging, so now here I am I guess.

S: Well I got to witness the fruit of your hard training. And like, how much art do you know?

L: I stopped counting... At some point I just started to link different styles, I just ended up mixing them all, and today I'm not even thinking about it, I'm just focusing on my opponent and sometimes I create a new move and attack on the fly.
The martial art I couldn't Practice was Sumo wrestling because of my body.

S: Hehe... Tho this raised a question. If you are already this skilled in so many styles, to the point where you could probably adapt to any opponent... Why do you want this hard to master Sumo above it? I mean, imagine you did manage to get fat by regular means, it would have impacted what you have mastered before that.

Laura took a moment to think

L: Well there are a few reasons for that. First... well I mean in Montgoff city, just everyone's favorite martial art is sumo. it's the one shown everywhere, with the biggest scene and all so... hard to not be affected when you're into martial, to begin with.
Then it's like... since I became this strong this early in my life... I'm kinda bored. I want to be a beginner again, and just finding another regular martial art won't help since. But with this new body, it's not just like learning a new way to throw you punch and kick. Striking, jumping, moving, just keeping your balance, everything needs to be learned again. So even if it's more restrictive it's new..; and that is enough to entertain me.

Laura was about to continue be she paused her speech, she start blushing a bit. Sam noticed that but he just gave her time to talk. Laura took a few seconds then said.

L: And hum... Well, I'm not sure if that matters in the balance, maybe it's just for the same reason as sumo being the main thing her and all... But like... I... I kinda appreciate a big tum like that.

While saying that Laura starts rubbing her belly. Playing with it softly and pressing into it.

L: I don't know... I'm used to hard strike of arms against arms, bones shaking, and skin burning. That is one big thing that makes combat awesome. But like... Big soft bodies are like... Like cuddly and all. I don't know I'm like...

S: Yeah it was clear that you liked being more large than tall since the first time I saw you. So yeah, basically you like being a giant plushies

Laura blushed, even more, looking relieved than Sam didn't seem to judge her on that.

L: Yeah, pretty much. And you... you prefer when I'm normal or hu... more bouncy like that.

Laura wasn't expecting Sam to answer this one and maybe shy stare shy at her. But to her surprise, Sam looked away, looking annoyed by the question.

S: Neither, My only focus regarding you is just that you get control over your ability, and maybe help you if you ever get stuck somewhere from hearing the wrong sentence at the right moment.

Laura ends up being the one taken by surprise by Sam's response.

L: Ok, ok. I was just asking, no need to get mad on that. I mean if you want you could just say that...

Sam stopped Laura by raising his finger, and with his other hand, she pointed toward his ears. Laura started to get disturbed by this weird dialogue and wasn't sure what Sam was doing.
But then she hears something. She not only heard it but also... felt it. The ground was shaking, and slowly, everyone in the room felt it. Whatever was responsible for that noise was getting close, and it was behind the door of the gym.

The door slammed open, pushed by an enormous yellow sphere. The massive ball struggled to pass the door, as it became more and more obvious that it was a gigantic belly. Slowly, arms emerge from the door, followed by a leg, then a massive feminine bust. Finally, the entire body passed the door frame and straightened up to its full height, casting a shadow over the entire arena in front of it. The public was shocked, but not as much as the wrestler, Sam, and Laura. The monster who just penetrated the room was none other than Petra.

While shrugging and moving her neck and arms around to recover from the impressive feat of feating her massive body through the doubled door frame, she unwillingly creates airflow in the room.
Searching the entire room with her gaze, she stopped upon finding Laura and stared menacingly right into her eyes.
In front of such a level of intimidation, and not even understanding what happened, Laura looked downward, fleeing the eyes of Petra.
Petra's face revealed a little side grin, before casually moving toward one empty wall and simply... laying on it... Not without causing another earthquake of course.

If some people were wondering why she didn't join the other wrestler, it rapidly became obvious that she wouldn't fit in the corner with the other.
Meaning that the only real question that was to ask where "Why and how did she get from 5 to more than 10 feet tall in a matter of day"

Not only did Petra become taller, but even her new height her proportion was more round than before. Her legs became wider than longer, and her arms were so puffy she could barely reach her breast.
No matter how impressive and intimidating she looked, it was clear that her shape was unnatural and impractical.

Second, passed in silence... but at some point, something had to happen. After all, no rules were broken, and despite how impressive Petra was, she wasn't blocking anything in the event. Olivia, since she was responsible for the tournament, end up going toward Petra to talk with her. They exchanged a bit before Olivia turn back and just... let the match continue. And match did continue, despite how awkward the situation felt with the giant red panda looming over the arena.

2 Matches later, it was time for the match between Petra and Laura. Laura still didn't recover from Petra's entry, but still, she woke up and walked toward her place in the arena. Even if obviously... she wasn't sure of how this all situation gonna evolve.

On her Side, Petra pushed herself away from the wall, even if people thought that the wall would be the one moving. Then she casually took her place in front of Laura in the arena. More than her body, something felt off in her glance to Laura.

www.deviantart.com/modnaryug/a…

Olivia, who also was the referee, took a few seconds to move around the arena, searching for a place from where she could properly supervise the match, before heading back to her standard position, Petra's rear preventing her from getting a clear view no matter the angle. But since Petra was already reaching the very border of the arena. Olivia just assumed that any movement backward from Petra would disqualify her.

Whistle whistled, and the clash happen between the two. Against all expectations, Laura managed to hold her ground, not letting Petra gain a single centimeter. And She did manage to do that for multiple seconds... But slowly stop pushing at all. Petra didn't even try to push back, she just casually stared at Laura.

P: Pretty unfair, right?

Petra took a step forward, putting as much effort as she did when walking toward the arena. And Laura had no choice but to get pushed backward. No technique, no special move could help her to stop the gigantic sphere of fur and fat coming toward her, slowly but inevitably bringing her closer to the border of the ring.

The parallel with David & Goliath was pretty obvious here... but no trickery nor weapon was involved. Just an elephant pushing an ant away, not even caring about it.

But the very moment Laura was about to touch the out border. Petra did something unexpected, rather than simply continue her push Petra tried a body slam to pin Laura down. The movement was unexpected, but out of pure reflex, Laura dodged out leaving Petra crash outside of the ring. Multiple people in the public fell out of the sit cause of the earthquake that Petra's fall created.

Things were becoming even more blurry in Laura's mind. Why commit to a risky finisher like that when just walking forward would have guaranteed her the round. It felt as if Petra didn't just want to win.

Petra got back up, visibly pissed by her miss attempt. She then took back her position on the ring as if nothing happened. Laura was pretty scared, but she still tried to calm down the situation by coming close to Petra and asking:

L: Hum... Are you ok?

P: Not as bad as the first time you betrayed me.

Laura took a few steps back... nothing was sure yet... but pieces of the puzzle started to align in Laura's brain, but she wasn't ready to accept it yet.

The score was 1-0 for Laura, the first to 2 would win the match.
The whistle announces the start of the 2nd round, but Laura was even less ready than for the first one.

This time, Petra goes directly for the crushing attempt. Laura was pulled out of her thought and dodged on reflex once again... but too quick. Petra feints her crush's move to make Laura dodge in advance, and throw herself on Laura when she was recovering.

Laura disappeared almost fully under Petra's body. Only her head was visible and showing fear on Laura's face. Olivia announce Petra's victory, but Petra didn't move away. That was the moment when she should have intervein, but she didn't react instantly, her body screaming to her to not annoy the giant monster.

Despite her inability to breathe due to the pressure on her chest, Laura wasn't running out of oxygen thanks to the huge amount of air inside of her. But that doesn't mean that she was fine, far from that, cause all this air was trying to get out of her.

Laura tried as hard as she can to retain all the air in, she couldn't afford to deflate in public, especially in front of all those important people from the professional circuits. To this day, they were no rules talking about illegal ways to make your body bigger, but if Laura was revealing such a thing existed in front of everyone, not sure it would stay like that.

At this very moment... Laura understood what Petra was trying to do. Somehow, Petra is aware of Laura's secret, she is trying to reveal to the all gym her little trick. In a panic, Laura struggled harder, thankfully, Petra didn't perfectly land her attack, and Laura managed to slip out of her grip.

Olivia regains her ability to move upon seeing Laura escaping. She then announces the score again: 1-1. She took a moment to warn Petra that if she were to do that again, she would be disqualified.

On her side, Laura got back on her feet, and she felt that despite all her effort, her body had shrunk a bit. Apparently, no one noticed it as it wasn't too visible, but if this happened again during the last round, it would be impossible to hide.

At this point, the obvious solution would have been to surrender, but something prevented Laura from doing that... and this reason was the feeling of guilt.

Petra's methods were brutal, but this didn't change the fact that Laura did cheat, and doing that she indirectly lied to Petra. Back when Laura and Petra were friends, they both had the dream of becoming sumo wrestlers, and both stopped trying to get big after realizing that her body had too many difficulties gaining mass.
Many years later, when Laura did stumble upon the opportunity to get her sumo body without force-feeding herself, she thought it was her only option anyway. But Petra showed her that it wasn't impossible, meaning Laura just took her shortcut.

Laura looked back at Petra, her glance showing that she now understood what Petra felt. She put so much effort to deserve her weight, just to lose to someone who just skipped all the effort she had to do. And not anybody, but her friend.

Disturb, Laura got back in the arena, without any idea of what to do. The 3rd round started, and both sumo collided again, but this impact was palling in comparison to the first one.

Neither Laura nor Petra was trying to push the other away, just acting as if. After seeing Laura's face, Petra felt the need to talk before ending Laura's career. She leaned forward as much as she could to get her head closer to Laura, with all the noise made both of them by pushing on the ground in the sand, no one could hear her aside from Laura.

P: I'm glad you are actually facing your mistake, Laura. After seeing you in normal shape upon leaving the gym the other day, I was furious... When I'm angry, I eat to pass nerves, and I was angry for the last 72 hours.

Laura slides from a few inches upon hearing that. Petra then continued:

P: During those last 3 days, I put all my time pushing rice bowl after rice bowl into my mouth. It wasn't easy, but not like you, I have the determination to do it.
And as you can witness... determination is always rewarded. All this effort made my body fatten up, swell, and grow bigger and bigger as hours passed. I litteraly consumed my rage, and I had a lot of it to intake, as you can see...
I fell asleep in the middle of my kitchen, I woke up this morning and contemplate how much my hard work paid off. I felt as if my belly too was crying for revenge and he expanded to this abnormal size just to let me get my revenge on you.
And here I am... Demonstrating to you how much raw strength is worth and teaching you the real pass of the sumo fighter.

With her monologue finished, Petra decided it was time to end this. But before that, her eyes were pulled by someone in the public. Sam was rushing down the bleachers, he looked aware of why all this was happening but what he panned to was.

P: Hoho, seems that your little friend gonna try something. I'm curious what he is planning to tell you...

Sam almost jumped the remaining step and landed with his feet on the fence keeping the public away from the ring.
Petra was focusing on him, was he seriously trying to calm down the situation? Hard to see how he could talk about it without letting everyone know about Laura's secret.
And for sure... no one was expecting what he was about to say:

S: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CALLING THAT A MATCH !!!?

Everyone, including Petra and Laura, was shocked. And with no one stopping him, Sam just continued.

S: So that it? Sumo is just a matter of who is the biggest? I came to see the technique, skill, mind game between two fighters. Not this stupidly boring arms wrestling contest. Of course, this fucking giant ass gonna win on raw strength, Where is the spectacle.

Silence followed until Petra broke it by laughing at Sam's surprising speech.

P: HAHAHA, Gosh I wasn't ready for that. What do you think she gonna do? as if winning against someone 10 times your weight was a matter of getting in the good stance or pushing the right direction...
Hey, genius tells me, what Laura is supposed to do if I do that.

Petra jumped on Laura to crush her until she is deflated for good. Laura disappears fully under Petra, this time wasn't slipping out anytime soon. Petra raised her face back at Sam with a grin on her face. She wanted to see his hope of seeing his girlfriend's hope and dream getting destroyed. But Sam looked totally impassible. He was simply staring under Petra's belly.

Petra wanted to laugh at Sam, but then she realized something... She wasn't fully touching the ground.

As everyone thought that they have seen everything today. A voice came from under the belly of the beast.

L: That's not how you seduce a girl, you freaking nerd. All you did is pissing me off !!!

Suddenly, Petra realized that she was getting away from the ground. As crazy as it sounded... she was lifted off the ground.

www.deviantart.com/modnaryug/a…

Laura managed to stay on her feet. When Petra fell on her she didn't try to move away, instead, she moved toward her to get Petra's center of mass right above her. She took a perfect stance to apply force upward, and she was now doing the impossible by combining the maximum of her technique with the strength that both her training and inflated body gave her.

The fight between David and Goliath evolved into a fight between Goliath... and Atlas. Laura rises back up, lifting Petra more than 5 feet above the ground. Petra tried to struggle and make Laura lose her balance, but it was meaningless with how much her limbs were restricted.

L: TIMBEEEEEER !!!

The public didn't need a second warning and everyone jumped out of the bleacher in a matter of seconds.
With a powerful roar, Laura tilted Petra forward, just enough to make her lose balance and fall forward.

A giant cloud of dust filled the room in a flash as noises of wood craking and steel bending made the entire gym ring like a bell.
Once the dust cleared up, Laura was standing alone in the middle of the arena, and Petra was stuck in a hole of her shape in the middle of the bleachers.

Olivia... who manages to hide in the opposite bleacher got back up and says... maybe as a joke

The score is... is hum... 2-1... Laura is... Laura won this match.

*****

About an hour later, Petra is alone in the locker room, she isn't hurt but still in shock. She didn't even react when Laura entered's the room, fully deflated.

L: So... I felt that I needed to see talk to you after that.

Petra looked toward but didn't say a thing.

L: I... I don't know what to say, I never thought about whether or not inflating yourself in a sumo match was legal or not and I...

Petra cut Laura mid-speech

P: I don't care about the official rule... What is clear is that you beat me...

L: Well I was kinda helped by my inflated arms.

P: Do you think it matters in a fight like that, I'm pretty sure my current is like... 5 tons or something like that. Your size barely helps you... and even then, that means if I did fight you in your normal shape but with my normal size too... you would have won anyway.

L: I think it's more complicated than, that. Since you would have been more mobile maybe you...

Petra slams her fist in the nearby Locker, breaking it.

P: You don't get it! It still means I need to be more than 3 times your weight to have a chance against you. Meaning that all the effort I made is meaningless.
While I was simply eating a fattening up like a pig, you were training to get better at a martial art. And now I realized how stupid I was.

Laura couldn't help but feel sorry, she wanted to say something to help Petra but she had no idea what to say.

P: Trust me... I struggle so long against my body to make it grow. It took years of 5 meals a day without any change, a finally 6 months ago after a big feast, my belly became rounder.
After it's like if I broke a barrier, I start gaining mass at a rapid rate, and soon enough I was one of the biggest of the sumo club. I was proud of my tummy, and I was also super proud of this current dump-truck of an ass I'm caring about right now, thinking it showed how my work translated in fighting capacity.
And now what... I can't feat through a normal door anymore, I can no longer see my navel, and I can no longer take the bus. All this for what, to still be beatable by someone who has just worked on the right thing and can still touch her feet.

L: Hey it's not all over yet... imagine you had just a bit of technique and practice with your size? Ok, you neglected it so far but with your size, I'm sure you won't need much effort to be truly unbeatable.
Today you learned it the hard way, but at least now you know what to improve.

Petra looked a Laura with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Laura came closer and hugged the giant red panda.

L: I'm so sorry, all this happen cause I cheated.

P: Why are you sorry... I would have learned that in one way or another.

L: Hehe, I'm sure you will swallow your sadness as you did for your rage.

P: Will see...

Laura moved back

L: If you want I can be your trainer.

P: Maybe... I don't know... I just need time to think for now.

Petra gets back up and starts walking slowly toward the exit. She was looking better... but just a bit. As she pass the door who thankfully, was made larger than needed just in case, she turn back to end the conversation with Laura.

P: I think we can be friends again... But thangs will not be the same anymore.

She then leaves the room, leaving Laura thinking of that day, who was surely an important one, but still unsure of how to think about it.

Not only did Petra become taller, but even her new height her proportion was more round than before. Her legs became wider than longer, and her arms were so puffy she could barely reach her breast.
No matter how impressive and intimidating she looked, it was clear that her shape was unnatural and impractical.

Second, passed in silence... but at some point, something had to happen. After all, no rules were broken, and despite how impressive Petra was, she wasn't blocking anything in the event. Olivia, since she was responsible for the tournament, end up going toward Petra to talk with her. They exchanged a bit before Olivia turn back and just... let the match continue. And match did continue, despite how awkward the situation felt with the giant red panda looming over the arena.

2 Matches later, it was time for the match between Petra and Laura. Laura still didn't recover from Petra's entry, but still, she woke up and walked toward her place in the arena. Even if obviously... she wasn't sure of how this all situation gonna evolve.

On her Side, Petra pushed herself away from the wall, even if people thought that the wall would be the one moving. Then she casually took her place in front of Laura in the arena. More than her body, something felt off in her glance to Laura.

Olivia, who also was the referee, took a few seconds to move around the arena, searching for a place from where she could properly supervise the match, before heading back to her standard position, Petra's rear preventing her from getting a clear view no matter the angle. But since Petra was already reaching the very border of the arena. Olivia just assumed that any movement backward from Petra would disqualify her.

Whistle whistled, and the clash happen between the two. Against all expectations, Laura managed to hold her ground, not letting Petra gain a single centimeter. And She did manage to do that for multiple seconds... But slowly stop pushing at all. Petra didn't even try to push back, she just casually stared at Laura.

P: Pretty unfair, right?

Petra took a step forward, putting as much effort as she did when walking toward the arena. And Laura had no choice but to get pushed backward. No technique, no special move could help her to stop the gigantic sphere of fur and fat coming toward her, slowly but inevitably bringing her closer to the border of the ring.

The parallel with David & Goliath was pretty obvious here... but no trickery nor weapon was involved. Just an elephant pushing an ant away, not even caring about it.

But the very moment Laura was about to touch the out border. Petra did something unexpected, rather than simply continue her push Petra tried a body slam to pin Laura down. The movement was unexpected, but out of pure reflex, Laura dodged out leaving Petra crash outside of the ring. Multiple people in the public fell out of the sit cause of the earthquake that Petra's fall created.

Things were becoming even more blurry in Laura's mind. Why commit to a risky finisher like that when just walking forward would have guaranteed her the round. It felt as if Petra didn't just want to win.

Petra got back up, visibly pissed by her miss attempt. She then took back her position on the ring as if nothing happened. Laura was pretty scared, but she still tried to calm down the situation by coming close to Petra and asking:

L: Hum... Are you ok?

P: Not as bad as the first time you betrayed me.

Laura took a few steps back... nothing was sure yet... but pieces of the puzzle started to align in Laura's brain, but she wasn't ready to accept it yet.

The score was 1-0 for Laura, the first to 2 would win the match.
The whistle announces the start of the 2nd round, but Laura was even less ready than for the first one.

This time, Petra goes directly for the crushing attempt. Laura was pulled out of her thought and dodged on reflex once again... but too quick. Petra feints her crush's move to make Laura dodge in advance, and throw herself on Laura when she was recovering.

Laura disappeared almost fully under Petra's body. Only her head was visible and showing fear on Laura's face. Olivia announce Petra's victory, but Petra didn't move away. That was the moment when she should have intervein, but she didn't react instantly, her body screaming to her to not annoy the giant monster.

Despite her inability to breathe due to the pressure on her chest, Laura wasn't running out of oxygen thanks to the huge amount of air inside of her. But that doesn't mean that she was fine, far from that, cause all this air was trying to get out of her.

Laura tried as hard as she can to retain all the air in, she couldn't afford to deflate in public, especially in front of all those important people from the professional circuits. To this day, they were no rules talking about illegal ways to make your body bigger, but if Laura was revealing such a thing existed in front of everyone, not sure it would stay like that.

At this very moment... Laura understood what Petra was trying to do. Somehow, Petra is aware of Laura's secret, she is trying to reveal to the all gym her little trick. In a panic, Laura struggled harder, thankfully, Petra didn't perfectly land her attack, and Laura managed to slip out of her grip.

Olivia regains her ability to move upon seeing Laura escaping. She then announces the score again: 1-1. She took a moment to warn Petra that if she were to do that again, she would be disqualified.

On her side, Laura got back on her feet, and she felt that despite all her effort, her body had shrunk a bit. Apparently, no one noticed it as it wasn't too visible, but if this happened again during the last round, it would be impossible to hide.

At this point, the obvious solution would have been to surrender, but something prevented Laura from doing that... and this reason was the feeling of guilt.

Petra's methods were brutal, but this didn't change the fact that Laura did cheat, and doing that she indirectly lied to Petra. Back when Laura and Petra were friends, they both had the dream of becoming sumo wrestlers, and both stopped trying to get big after realizing that her body had too many difficulties gaining mass.
Many years later, when Laura did stumble upon the opportunity to get her sumo body without force-feeding herself, she thought it was her only option anyway. But Petra showed her that it wasn't impossible, meaning Laura just took her shortcut.

Laura looked back at Petra, her glance showing that she now understood what Petra felt. She put so much effort to deserve her weight, just to lose to someone who just skipped all the effort she had to do. And not anybody, but her friend.

Disturb, Laura got back in the arena, without any idea of what to do. The 3rd round started, and both sumo collided again, but this impact was palling in comparison to the first one.

Neither Laura nor Petra was trying to push the other away, just acting as if. After seeing Laura's face, Petra felt the need to talk before ending Laura's career. She leaned forward as much as she could to get her head closer to Laura, with all the noise made both of them by pushing on the ground in the sand, no one could hear her aside from Laura.

P: I'm glad you are actually facing your mistake, Laura. After seeing you in normal shape upon leaving the gym the other day, I was furious... When I'm angry, I eat to pass nerves, and I was angry for the last 72 hours.

Laura slides from a few inches upon hearing that. Petra then continued:

P: During those last 3 days, I put all my time pushing rice bowl after rice bowl into my mouth. It wasn't easy, but not like you, I have the determination to do it.
And as you can witness... determination is always rewarded. All this effort made my body fatten up, swell, and grow bigger and bigger as hours passed. I litteraly consumed my rage, and I had a lot of it to intake, as you can see...
I fell asleep in the middle of my kitchen, I woke up this morning and contemplate how much my hard work paid off. I felt as if my belly too was crying for revenge and he expanded to this abnormal size just to let me get my revenge on you.
And here I am... Demonstrating to you how much raw strength is worth and teaching you the real pass of the sumo fighter.

With her monologue finished, Petra decided it was time to end this. But before that, her eyes were pulled by someone in the public. Sam was rushing down the bleachers, he looked aware of why all this was happening but what he panned to was.

P: Hoho, seems that your little friend gonna try something. I'm curious what he is planning to tell you...

Sam almost jumped the remaining step and landed with his feet on the fence keeping the public away from the ring.
Petra was focusing on him, was he seriously trying to calm down the situation? Hard to see how he could talk about it without letting everyone know about Laura's secret.
And for sure... no one was expecting what he was about to say:

S: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CALLING THAT A MATCH !!!?

Everyone, including Petra and Laura, was shocked. And with no one stopping him, Sam just continued.

S: So that it? Sumo is just a matter of who is the biggest? I came to see the technique, skill, mind game between two fighters. Not this stupidly boring arms wrestling contest. Of course, this fucking giant ass gonna win on raw strength, Where is the spectacle.

Silence followed until Petra broke it by laughing at Sam's surprising speech.

P: HAHAHA, Gosh I wasn't ready for that. What do you think she gonna do? as if winning against someone 10 times your weight was a matter of getting in the good stance or pushing the right direction...
Hey, genius tells me, what Laura is supposed to do if I do that.

Petra jumped on Laura to crush her until she is deflated for good. Laura disappears fully under Petra, this time wasn't slipping out anytime soon. Petra raised her face back at Sam with a grin on her face. She wanted to see his hope of seeing his girlfriend's hope and dream getting destroyed. But Sam looked totally impassible. He was simply staring under Petra's belly.

Petra wanted to laugh at Sam, but then she realized something... She wasn't fully touching the ground.

As everyone thought that they have seen everything today. A voice came from under the belly of the beast.

L: That's not how you seduce a girl, you freaking nerd. All you did is pissing me off !!!

Suddenly, Petra realized that she was getting away from the ground. As crazy as it sounded... she was lifted off the ground.

Laura managed to stay on her feet. When Petra fell on her she didn't try to move away, instead, she moved toward her to get Petra's center of mass right above her. She took a perfect stance to apply force upward, and she was now doing the impossible by combining the maximum of her technique with the strength that both her training and inflated body gave her.

The fight between David and Goliath evolved into a fight between Goliath... and Atlas. Laura rises back up, lifting Petra more than 5 feet above the ground. Petra tried to struggle and make Laura lose her balance, but it was meaningless with how much her limbs were restricted.

L: TIMBEEEEEER !!!

The public didn't need a second warning and everyone jumped out of the bleacher in a matter of seconds.
With a powerful roar, Laura tilted Petra forward, just enough to make her lose balance and fall forward.

A giant cloud of dust filled the room in a flash as noises of wood craking and steel bending made the entire gym ring like a bell.
Once the dust cleared up, Laura was standing alone in the middle of the arena, and Petra was stuck in a hole of her shape in the middle of the bleachers.

Olivia... who manages to hide in the opposite bleacher got back up and says... maybe as a joke

The score is... is hum... 2-1... Laura is... Laura won this match.

*****

About an hour later, Petra is alone in the locker room, she isn't hurt but still in shock. She didn't even react when Laura entered's the room, fully deflated.

L: So... I felt that I needed to see talk to you after that.

Petra looked toward but didn't say a thing.

L: I... I don't know what to say, I never thought about whether or not inflating yourself in a sumo match was legal or not and I...

Petra cut Laura mid-speech

P: I don't care about the official rule... What is clear is that you beat me...

L: Well I was kinda helped by my inflated arms.

P: Do you think it matters in a fight like that, I'm pretty sure my current is like... 5 tons or something like that. Your size barely helps you... and even then, that means if I did fight you in your normal shape but with my normal size too... you would have won anyway.

L: I think it's more complicated than, that. Since you would have been more mobile maybe you...

Petra slams her fist in the nearby Locker, breaking it.

P: You don't get it! It still means I need to be more than 3 times your weight to have a chance against you. Meaning that all the effort I made is meaningless.
While I was simply eating a fattening up like a pig, you were training to get better at a martial art. And now I realized how stupid I was.

Laura couldn't help but feel sorry, she wanted to say something to help Petra but she had no idea what to say.

P: Trust me... I struggle so long against my body to make it grow. It took years of 5 meals a day without any change, a finally 6 months ago after a big feast, my belly became rounder.
After it's like if I broke a barrier, I start gaining mass at a rapid rate, and soon enough I was one of the biggest of the sumo club. I was proud of my tummy, and I was also super proud of this current dump-truck of an ass I'm caring about right now, thinking it showed how my work translated in fighting capacity.
And now what... I can't feat through a normal door anymore, I can no longer see my navel, and I can no longer take the bus. All this for what, to still be beatable by someone who has just worked on the right thing and can still touch her feet.

L: Hey it's not all over yet... imagine you had just a bit of technique and practice with your size? Ok, you neglected it so far but with your size, I'm sure you won't need much effort to be truly unbeatable.
Today you learned it the hard way, but at least now you know what to improve.

Petra looked a Laura with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Laura came closer and hugged the giant red panda.

L: I'm so sorry, all this happen cause I cheated.

P: Why are you sorry... I would have learned that in one way or another.

L: Hehe, I'm sure you will swallow your sadness as you did for your rage.

P: Will see...

Laura moved back

L: If you want I can be your trainer.

P: Maybe... I don't know... I just need time to think for now.

Petra gets back up and starts walking slowly toward the exit. She was looking better... but just a bit. As she pass the door who thankfully, was made larger than needed just in case, she turn back to end the conversation with Laura.

P: I think we can be friends again... But thangs will not be the same anymore.

She then leaves the room, leaving Laura thinking of that day, who was surely an important one, but still unsure of how to think about it.
