Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

And on the 12th minute, he got guts.

You think for a bit and shrug your shoulders. "I guess it can't hurt. As long as you go easy on me", you add in a definite tone.

"Sure, sure. I always go easy on the newbies.", the aligator-man replies with a smile.

You walk with the huge gator down to the ring, a bit uncomfortable even now. You watch as the bull tries to tackle the bear, only to fly beyond the bear's sudden dodge. The bear quickly grabs the bull from the side, forcing him into a headlock, then flips him to the mat and pins his shoulders to the ground.

"By the way, my name's Albert", the big gator smiles, hefting himself into the ring as the two others do the opposite.

"Nice to meet ya", you reply with a smile. "I'm-"

"I already know who you are. It's fine", he interrupts with a grin, getting into position at one side of the ring.

At the sound of a buzzer, the gator lunges for you, and you barely manage to avoid him as you jump to the side, losing your balance. Falling to the mat, your muscles strain as you roll and jump back onto your feet.

Albert lunges at you again, this time actually wrapping a thick arm around your back, and with a loud grunt of effort flips you over his head and onto the floor with little less than a bump.

You look at the ceiling dazedly as your senses return. After a moment, you try to sit up, but Albert appears, lying atop you, chest to chest, his body pressed against yours, his chest reaching halfway down your rock-hard abs. His huge arms flex as they finally get both of your shoulders down onto the mat.

With another buzz, the match is over, and you find yourself staring up into the big gator's eyes. There's something dominating about them, yet very gentle. He pushes himself up, bringing you along with him, and you both get out of the ring.

You then look at yourself ... and somehow, the muscles in your chest seam to have grown a centimetre or two. It's hard to be sure, though, so you shrug and go over to a side table with Albert. You're lucky this gym has a bar/restaurant in it, too, because you're starved. You haven't really chowed down in a few days, actually, with your high-rep regimen. And boy, could you go for some good food right now.
