Ming-Na Wen vs. Jessica Henwick


The hot studio lights beat down on the pair, drenched in sweat, hair matted, and tossed from the effort of the contest. But Ming-Na Wen had a smile on her face, while her much younger foe’s face twisted in the effort.
“You have a lot going for you,” Ming-Na whispered into Jessica’s ear, “The only real difference between us is I just happen to have more experience than you do.”
Jessica grunted with effort as she tried to get up again, but Ming-Na roared and held her down once again, forcing her onto the Kumite platform's canvas. Clad in only sports bras and biker shorts, but sweat was coated their bodies regardless.
“And maybe just a bit stronger,” Ming-Na admitted.
Jessica Henwick collapsed, gasping for air, “So? Go ahead. Finish me.”
“Are you giving up?”
Jessica’s body writhed in answer, but remain trapped. She elaborated. “Never gonna give up,” Jessica hissed, “So either finish me or give up yourself, and I’ll show you how strong I am.”
Ming-Na held on to Jessica for a few moments more before releasing the hold. Jessica managed to get to her feet almost too quickly, her body wobbled with the effort of it as her head reoriented itself. By the time she did, Ming-Na was waiting for her, her arms at her side, and a smirk on her face.
Jessica charged forward an arm pulled back for a massive punch, but Ming-Na sidestepped the blow with practiced swiftness. Jessica was undeterred, she snapped out a kick, but Ming-Na slid to the side once more, and towards Jessica. Like a viper, she lashed out, spin around Jessica, and wrapped her arms around Jessica’s throat. Jessica’s eyes went wide with panic as she was pulled off her feet by Min-Na’s strength, and flipped over the older woman. Jessica managed to roll with the toss and keep her feet. When Jessica rushed Ming-Na and went for a punch, Ming-Na ducked and grabbed Jessica's offending arm. Ming-Na flipped the younger woman over her back and letting Jessica slam onto the canvas. Slightly winded, Jessica lay there for a moment, catching her breath.
“Are you going to stand and fight?” Ming-Na loomed over her foe, who slapped the mat in frustration before spinning up. Her fury was so great, Ming-Na found her chin clipped by an uppercut as her enemy rose.
Smelling blood, Jessica lashed out with a kick that struck Ming-Na in the mid-section before moving in for an elbow strike, but Ming-Na hooked her arm through Jessica’s and flipped her over again, this time slamming Jessica’s neck and shoulders on the canvas. Jessica’s body held for a second before she slid to her left in a daze.
“Are you giving up, Jessica?”
Jessica was slow to rise, “I told you. Either finish me or give up yourself.”
Ming-Na smiled, “I like the fire you have. Keep it burning.”
Jessica wobbled before she closed the distance between herself and the older woman, but her strike was countered. Ming-Na dove low, grabbed Jessica by the hips and one final time flipped the younger woman over her back. Jessica’s landed shoulder first on the canvas, the wind crushed out of her by the impact. Her vision was blurry, but she recognized Ming-Na’s form simply lean back and over her before the older martial artist sat on her chest with a thump which drove more air from her screaming lungs. Jessica's breasts painfully crushed against her rib cage, her hear rolled as she moaned in pain. As Jessica moaned, Ming-Na pinned Jessica’s arms under her knees as she grabbed Jessica’s tossed hair, lifting up the younger woman's head to face her.
Ming-Na smiled, “But tonight, get some sleep.”
Jessica let out a grunt before Ming-Na drove her thumb into Jessica’s carotid artery. Jessica’s legs kicked and spasmed, her arms flailed, but her eyes rolled up as her consciousness fled her body. In a few moments, limp spasms were all that remained of Jessica’s motor function, which ended swiftly.
Ming-Na looked down at her work and smiled. She slowly got off her perch and stretched, wincing slightly, “Definitely made me earn it." Ming-Na placed her foot on the unconscious Jessica to record the victory properly, pressing down on her sternum. "Good work, kid. You’re goin’ places.”


“Always the sentimentalist,” Ming-Na turned at the smooth voice of Charlize Theron, as sweaty and breathing heavily as Ming-Na was, carrying the unconscious body of Anya Taylor-Joy over her shoulders. The younger face was flush, as were her arms and shoulders, while Charlize had evidence of a stomach claw becoming more visible over time.
“You know I like to teach the up and comers,” Ming-Na stepped over to Charlize, “Rather than just beating them to a pulp.”
“I didn’t break the nose this time,” Charlize said, as the blonde took her prize onto the Kumite platform to meet Ming-Na. As she approached, she gently let her red-faced bagged on the canvas next to Jessica, “I’d say I taught her more than just the usual lesson.”
“Really?” Ming-Na looked up to Charlize, “Then show me what you taught her.”
Charlize’s grin was positively feral, “Why else display my prey to a fellow hunter. Besides,” Charlize raised her fists, "I prefer to sharpen my claws on diamonds."
Ming-Na smiled in appreciation as she raised her fists to answer the blonde.
