#ExplosiveBrawl
Giganta had not been having a good week. She had been busted by the Teen Titans when she tried stealing the contents of a bank's armored truck, her nerdy parents had made her sit through a whole season of Star Trek, she had failed another dumb test, and she was now on a fight against the Amazon Titan and her green bunny wimp. And She was losing badly.
Giganta had gone to the construction sight of a massive building on the outskirts of Metropolis to train without anyone bothering her. She had found out that the site was the best place to cut loose and test her strength against heavy machinery. But the two Titans had heard all the commotion and went to investigate.
"That all you punks got?" Giganta growled as she charged at the two heroes with her left arm reeled back to punch.
Giganta released her punch at the two heroes, but was caught by Wonder Woman.
"You may be strong but you are outmatched and outnumbered!" Wonder Woman growled as Giganta pushed her back with her strength.
Giganta was then surprised when a flash of green lightning crossed in front of her. She stumbled back before Wonder Woman grabbed her wrist. She was flung over the shoulder of the Amazon into the ground. She tried getting back up but she felt her legs were pinned down by something. She looked down and saw her legs were tangled by both the Lasso of Truth and Black Whip. She punched the ground, sending herself up for a little moment. Giganta reached for the bindings of her legs, trying to pull herself free but to no avail.
Wonder Woman used this chance to tie down Giganta. She spun her lasso like a master rancher and bound both of Giganta's hands and upper body.
"We got her Wonder Woman!" Deku cried out, pulling down on the giant woman with both One For All and Black Whip.
Deku and Wonder Woman pulled down the massive woman back to the ground. Deku then released Black Whip and jumped up, grabbing hold of some steel beams. He brought down the beams around Giganta, much to her surprise.
"Now Deku!" Wonder Woman said, keeping Giganta down.
Deku wasted no time and started bending the steel beams with his quirk. He wrapped the beams around Giganta's body, encasing her in a makeshift cage.
Giganta struggled and fought against her restraints, but she couldn't move. She growled and tried to roll out of her bondage, but all she did was land face first on the ground.
"This isn't over, whimps!" Giganta cried out in muffled rage. "I'll prove that I'm the strongest one there is!"
"We should call the cops and tell them that Giganta has been subdued," Deku suggested.
"Yes, I'm on it," Wonder Woman said, pulling out her communicator. "Still we are becoming quite the formidable team, Deku. No villain shall get in our way!"
Those words were heard by Giganta. Her eyes widened as the words triggered a memory that still chewed at her mind. She remembered the fun night she had with the explosive maniac Bakugou. How she and him blew away their enemies and unleashed their strength on those they deemed weak. How his in-your-face combat style complemented her brute smashing force. She had never felt like this before. Remorse bit at the back of her mind with how she and the other villain girls had used him. Giganta then realized that while she was in her thoughts the cops had arrived to take her away and the two heroes had left.
"Let's throw this wrecking ball of a girl in the truck and call it a day guys," One of the officers said.
"Yeah, who would've thought that such a brute would've been taken down so easily," Another officer said.
Giganta heard it all. Her rage pumped through her body like a fire through a forest. Had she actually become so weak that she couldn't take on two of those weak Titans? Her muscles bulged as her heart rate increased. She felt her body fighting against the weight and hardness of the steel. Giganta felt it moving and straining against her movements. Her eyes snapped open, glowing a bright primal orange. She broke her bindings and roared like a female gorilla, forcing the officers to duck under her thrashing arms.
"Stand down!" One of the officers said, ducking under one of the bent steel beams.
Giganta jumped away from the officers. As she flew through the air she couldn't help but be angry at the thought that she had gotten weak. She hated weakness more than anything and she would not let that be the end of her.
Once morning came, Doris, Giganta's civilian identity, grumbled under her breath as she munched down on her steak and eggs that she was eating. She needed to bulk up, but she also needed to get stronger. She needed a real fight.
"Slow down sweety, you'll choke on your eggs," Doris' mom said.
"True, honey, there's no rush," Doris' dad added before going back to his paper.
Doris couldn't help but grumble and roll her eyes. But something caught her eye. She spotted an ad for a wrestling match. She grew a sinister smile on her face as an idea formed in her mind.
Doris finished up her lunch and made her way to the Metropolis Wrestling arena. She smiled as she stood in front of the large gladiatorial arena. She stepped into the building and expected to see tall professionals going at it with everything they had.
"Alright fellas, who's first!" Doris challenged, slamming the doors open.
But her smile dropped as she saw the ring was empty. Doris then spotted a note that had something written on it.
"'Metropolis Wrestling Arena is closed for remodeling'!" Doris read outloud, tearing the note apart.
Doris stomped out through the back entrance in rage.
"Where does a girl have to go to have actual competition?!" Doris angrily demanded.
"Man, I can't wait to see the Meta Brawl tonight," A voice called out, getting Doris' attention.
"Shh, be quiet," Another voice said. "You want the cops to know about it?"
Doris looked out into the alley where the voices were coming from. She spotted three men walking, one was tall and muscular enough to tear someone's head off and the other two were around her height that looked like punks with visors and names on their shirts. One was Rob and the other one was Bob. The big guy was shirtless and was completely muscle bound and wore a similar visor than the smaller guys.
"You two fools be quiet," The big one said.
"Yes boss," The two grunts replied.
"This time, I'll make that fool Bane cry from pain and show him that he shouldn't have left Gotham. For I am the Mutant Boss," Mutant Boss gloated.
"Boss is stoked, Bob," Rob said.
"Don't blame 'im, Rob. He'll get to face off against the strongest Metas in the city to prove that he's top dog," Bob replied. "Not to mention there's a new fighter sending bubs flying!"
Unbeknownst to the trio of hooligans, Doris had heard everything. She smiled at the thought of a place where the strongest fought for dominance. That sounded just up her alley. She snuck after the trio of punks smirking all the way. She followed them until they arrived at an abandoned building.
"Alright boys, time to wreck some skulls," Mutant Boss said. "You got the pass?"
"Right here, boss," Bob said, holding out a card.
Doris smirked at the sight of the card.
"Time to make these losers give me my entry ticket," Doris said before she started transforming.
Doris' muscles grew to gigantic proportions, tapping into the primal genetic DNA of different animals. Her clothes were torn and ripped apart, leaving her in her iconic "wild woman of the jungle" look. Giganta had arrived to cause mayhem.
Giganta stepped out of her hiding spot and overshadowed the three men.
"Hey Rob, did it get darker all of a sudden?" Bob asked.
"It kinda looks like it did, Bob," Rob replied before they turned around.
Rob and Bob spotted the reason for the big shadow behind them, and were left wide-eyed.
"Momma," They muttered at the smirking Giganta.
Giganta grabbed the two thugs by their skulls and bashed them into each other, knocking them out.
"What are you two fools mumbling about?" Mutant Boss asked, turning around to see Giganta stuffing the entry card into her bra.
"Thanks for the ticket in, baldy. I'll take it from here," Giganta said.
But the Mutant Boss gave her a toothy grin.
"Now babe, if you wanted to see some action, you should've said so. I like big girls like you," Mutant Boss said with his wolfish grin.
Giganta frowned, cracking her knuckles. She didn't appreciate being ogled at by brutes like him, despite her affinity for strong men. Or maybe it was because she didn't like a man that looked like a blender with eyes. She decked him in the face, sending him back with a broken nose.
"You wanna get nasty, babe? I can get nasty," Mutant Boss said, wiping the blood from his nose.
"Beat it loser," Giganta said.
Mutant Boss jumped at her with his claws ready to slash at her.
Giganta blocked the swipe with her left arm with ease. Fighting against the Titans so many times had taught her some things. She then punched the Mutant Boss in the face once more. She punched him across the face with a left and then uppercutted him, sending him flying. She then grabbed his left arm and slammed him face-first into the concrete floor, dislocating his shoulder. Giganta stared down at the Mutant Boss as he struggled to get up before she stomped her foot down on his head, knocking him out.
"Too easy," Giganta said, smirking as she walked to the entrance.
Once Giganta stood at the entrance of the brawl, she showed the card ID and was shown in. She stepped into an elevator and was then led down to the lower floors. The doors opened and revealed what Giganta had been begging for.
There were many bleachers surrounding a large, caged ring. The cage was easily big enough to hold down four elephants in a rampage with spikes on the outside. Four massive televisions stood over the caged ring showing the fighters battling it out in the center of the ring. Two large wrestlers were fighting inside the ring, much to the excitement of the people watching. But they were both not your normal wrestlers, one of them was a man as large as the Mutant Boss but wore a traditional luchador's mask on his face and green tubes coming out of the back of his head. But it was the second fighter that was much more interesting.
"DIE BANE!" Bakugo yelled out as he blasted Bane in the face.
Giganta's eyes widened as Bakugo jumped and bounced around Bane with his explosions. She hadn't seen him in a while and she couldn't help but smile at his wild movements amidst the fight. His style and rage placed a fire under her and made her want to jump into the ring and fight off Bane along with him.
Back in the ring, Bakugo landed on his feet after his last attack, grinning like a mad man at Bane.
"Come here, little man, I'll break you for your little party trick!" Back cried out, scattering the smoke.
"Come and get me!" Bakugo barked out.
Bane charged at the explosive boy with a glare in his eyes. He jumped up into the air, pulling his legs deep into his chest.
Bakugo ignited his explosions and blitzed out of the way of Bane's slam. He spun in the air, bringing his hands together for his attack.
"Eat this! AP Shot!" Bakugo yelled out, firing his move.
Concentrated blasts of heat were fired from Bakugo's palm directly at Bane.
Bane lifted his arm to block the attacks. He pushed through the stinging attacks but he cut down the distance. He rushed at Bakugo and swung his large arm at his face, sending him to the cage.
Bakugo bounced off the cage, shocked by the attack, but he gritted his teeth and went for the attack. He fired his explosions, making his body spin faster and faster until he turned himself into a tornado made out of explosions. Before Bane could do anything else, Bakugo was already on him. He slammed his hand on Bane's chest activating his signature move.
"Howitzer! IMPACT!" Bakugo screamed at the top of his lungs, detonating his explosion.
There was a flash of light before a massive explosion shook the ring and the bleachers.
Everyone was silent for a couple seconds before they cheered for Bakugo as he stood amidst the smoke.
"The winner of this round is… King Explosion Murder!" The referee announced to the cheering fans.
"Hell yeah!" Bakugo yelled as he lifted his right fist in victory.
Bakugo walked out of the ring as Bane was pulled out by the paramedics to tend to his injuries.
Back with Giganta, she was ecstatic. She wanted to go into the ring and rumble with the strong fighters that were in this place. She'd have her chance soon enough. One of the guards signalled her to follow him. She did until she found herself right in front of the ring.
The referee looked at the audience and read from his note cards.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed our last round because I've got bad news for you," The referee said, earning confused looks from the audience. "Mutant Boss won't be joining us tonight. I feel your pain, but I've got good news for you… We have another newcomer tonight. That's right folks, put your hands together for our newest member! And it's a woman!" He introduced, pointing to Giganta.
Giganta saw that she was being called to the ring. She smirked as she made her way to the middle of the ring.
"Alright honey, what's your alias, your nome de guerre?" The referee asked.
"Huh?" Giganta asked.
"Your stage name, girly. Or do you go by Jane of the Jungle?" The referee asked.
"I'm Giganta, the strongest woman there is!" Giganta exclaimed, flexing her muscles.
"That's what I wanted to hear! Give it up for GIGANTA! The strongest woman there is!" The referee announced. "And her opponent for tonight will be the big mean green from Gotham city. KILLER CROC!"
Giganta turned to see her opponent.
He was as tall as her with thick green reptilian scales, sharp claws, spikes on his back and a large alligator face with rows of teeth. He wore torn pants and nothing else.
"Now fellas, a reminder of the rules. You can go all out as long as you don't use any weapons or kill your opponent," The referee said. "Looking at you Croc. Now let's rumble!" He added before leaving the ring for the two to fight.
Giganta and Croc walked up to each other, sizing each other up like a pair of dominant animals figuring out who was the predator and who was the prey.
"It's been awhile since I've had a redhead," Croc said. "Hope you make it for more than one round."
"Just for that, I'll make you into a handbag," Giganta replied.
Killer Croc lunged at Giganta with his jaws wide open. He tried to bite her but she managed to dodge every single bite.
Giganta took a swing at the gator man's face but she winced at the feeling of hard scales against her skin.
"Not bad, but you've got to do better, girl!" Killer Croc laughed, throwing his own punch at Giganta.
Giganta blocked the punch by crossing her arms. Every punch was like having sandpaper rub against her skin. She jumped back and tried to tackle the big gator. She tackled him back until he put his clawed feet to help him get a good foot hold.
"Atta girl!" Killer Croc said, before slamming his arms on her back.
Killer Croc bit Giganta's shoulder, drawing some blood. His attack made her loosen up before he went down on her. He struck her chest with his knee before slamming his arms against her back.
Giganta was sent to the floor, but she smiled. She jumped back up, headbutting Killer Croc. She wrapped her arms under his and then bent backwards in a German suplex.
"This is what I wanted!" Giganta called out, releasing Killer Croc from her hold.
Giganta quickly turned her body and grabbed hold of Killer Croc's head. She lifted him up while keeping his jaws shut. She then began to spin around in a circle, spinning her opponent.
Killer Croc struggled against her hold. He grabbed hold of her hands to make her let go, but his claws weren't more than a small other to her.
"You want me to let go?!" Giganta asked. "Well here you go!"
Giganta released Killer Croc, sending him flying at the electric cage. She heard the cheers of the crowd, asking for more. She was going to go further. She charged at the fallen opponent and tackled him before attacking with a barrage of punches. She felt her knuckles burn as she punched against Killer Croc's skin. But she didn't care. Giganta flung Killer Croc into the center of the ring. She beated her chest like a wild woman.
The referee stepped back into the ring with a smile on his face.
"Give it up for our newest star, the Savage Giganta!" The referee said, lifting Giganta's arm in victory.
Giganta was loving the cheers of the crowd. This was the place that she belonged to. She walked out of the ring and was led to the waiting room for the next rounds. She spotted many big wrestlers including a much better looking Bane and a very pissed off Bakugo.
"You," Bakugo growled like a wild animal.
"Hey there, Mini Bomber. Nice place you found," Giganta said casually.
"Give me one good reason not to blow up your ass!" Bakugo said, with his hands steaming and ready for a fight.
"Oh, look guys, the rookies are having a married couple's banter," A voice called out from behind.
Bakugo and Giganta looked back and saw the owner of the voice. He was a big man with a muscular body and a glowing skull with green fire coming out from where his neck would be. He wore a yellow armored suit with the radioactive symbol on his chest.
"I suggest saving it for the next match, punks," The man said, earning laughs from the rest of the wrestlers.
"You wanna start something Atomic Skull? I'm right here," Bakugo replied, getting in the man's face.
"You seem to have forgotten what happened the last time," Atomic Skull said, making his eyes glow. "But I don't want to embarrass you in front of your girlfriend. So I'll let it slide."
Bakugo growled at his taunts.
Giganta didn't appreciate his tone either.
"Hey, you wanna pick on someone? Why don't you step in the ring and I'll show you what I can do!" Giganta threatened. "I'll use that glow stick you call a head as my new night stand."
"Feisty, I see you like the angry ones, Boomy," Atomic Skull said, looking at Bakugo. "Alright Red, I'll see you in the ring. Hope you don't get burnt." He added before passing Giganta, bumping her shoulder.
Giganta snarled at Atomic Skull.
"Alright folks, ready for the next match up! Wrestlers to your stations!" The Referee's voice called out from the speakers in the waiting room.
Bakugo and Giganta shared a look.
"I don't care what you say or do, but if I have to battle you, I'll hold nothing back!" Bakugo said.
"I don't expect anything less from you, Mini Bomber!" Giganta replied, flashing him a smile.
The night went on as it would. The wrestlers fought against each other for the pleasure of the people waiting in the bleachers.
Giganta faced off against a large humanoid orca. She punched it in the face, sending it down to the ground.
Bakugo blasted through the attacks of Killer Croc. His explosions sent the overgrown lizard back to the swamps with some major burns.
Atomic Skull blasted his opponent with an atomic breath that sent him flying. His opponent was a large creature made out of clay but was turned into a solid block thanks to Atomic Skull's fire.
In another round, Bakugo used a flashbang explosion to blind his opponent. His opponent was a large anthropomorphic shark that went by the name of King Shark. As King Shark covered his eyes in pain, Bakugo detonated his explosions on King Shark's unprotected belly.
Giganta was being held by a man in a snake costume and bionic tail. Copperhead had coiled himself around her but she was not going to give in. She jumped up in the air, slamming herself back on the ground. The hold on her loosened up, with her opponent now squashed like a pancake.
Atomic Skull was spinning Bane over his head, burning his back with his burning head. Bane tried to get out of his hold, but Atomic Skull had other plans. He brought down Bane on his knee, causing a low snapping sound to echo through the ring.
The crowds of cheering fans were deafening and music to the ears of the winning fighters. The more brutal the battles the more people cheered. It was a carnage that people couldn't get enough from.
Giganta was resting right next to Bakugo back at the waiting room. They were breathing heavily and they were sweating like a couple of pigs.
"You've had enough?" Bakugo asked, glaring at Giganta.
"You kidding me? I haven't felt this alive in months!" Giganta replied. "If only I had known about this place beforehand."
"Don't get used to it. I'll be sure to send you flying like a damn balloon as soon as we face each other," Bakugo said.
The tone of the conversation shifted.
Giganta could sense the anger in his voice. She rubbed the back of her head in shame. She had just now gotten around the realization that Bakugo was angry about her and the other girls using him for their own ambitions. She didn't understand why she was feeling so guilty about it. Giganta wasn't a good person. In fact, she was the farthest thing from it. She was a bully, liked to beat up people, committed crimes with other supervillains and was all for beating up heroes. But she felt guilty about tricking Bakugo into joining their chaotic and villainous cause? She couldn't understand it. Usually she would punch what made her feel confused or unsure, but she didn't want to do that. She glanced at Bakugo and his glare cut her deep. She needed to do or say something to make him stop.
"Hey, listen… I don't know if this'll amount to anything but… I'm sorry for what happened," Giganta sighed. "It wasn't supposed to happen like it did."
"How the hell was it supposed to happen? Me being strung along like a damn puppet?" Bakugo snapped.
"No, we were hoping that you'd join us in the real villain team," Giganta revealed. "We were just hoping to ease into it."
"You really think that makes it any better?" Bakugo asked.
"Hey, I feel pretty bad myself already. Sorry for trying to apologize!" Giganta said standing up in rage.
"Oh, hell no, you don't get to walk out like that!" Bakugo said, jumping to her side, cutting her path. "You and your friends owe me big time!"
"What? You wanna fight me now?" Giganta asked. "Typical guy who can't accept an apology. I can't believe I ever felt sorry for what we did to you. I bet you're just scared of me and want to prove that you're some big macho man by acting tough!"
"Oh you want me to act tough?! I'll show you tough, jungle Jane reject!" Bakugo said, getting in Giganta's face. "I'll beat you so badly that you'll be begging me to stop!"
"Oh, I'll beg you to stop alright! Stop embarrassing yourself!" Giganta snapped. "You can't take on all this woman!"
"CAVEWOMAN BITCH!" Bakugo called out.
"EXPLOSIVE BASTARD!" Giganta snapped.
The two savage-looking teens stared at each other with their hearts pumping at an accelerated rate. Their senses became more sensitive and attuned to their surroundings and the person in front of them. All the blood, sweat, tears, and adrenaline coursing through their veins had boiled to their climax.
Giganta and Bakugo jumped at each other. They rolled on the ground trying to get on top of the other but they were unable to achieve it. Their lips clashed with each other and their tongues fought for dominance as they rolled around. Their hands were all over each other's bodies.
As they were in their own hormones and adrenaline fueled fight, the meta brawl continued on. Atomic Skull was standing in the middle of the ring with the referee holding up a golden belt.
"And it appears that neither Giganta nor King Explosion are going to show up for their battle and Atomic Skull has beaten his opponent," The referee began. "I am left with no other option but to give Atomic Skull the Meta Champion belt!"
Atomic Skull took the belt from the referee as the crowd cheered for his victory.
"OH YEAH!" Atomic Skull said before picking up the microphone. "You heard it people! I am the champion! WHO DARES CHALLENGE THE CHAMPION?!"
Just as Atomic Skull said that, the entry gate was blown off its hinges. Everyone looked at the source of the explosion and saw the Teen Titans had arrived.
"This illegal underground fighting club is officially closed!" Wonder Woman said.
"Oh, crap," Atomic Skull muttered.
The Meta Brawl guards pulled out their guns and fired upon the heroes as some of the fighters joined in the fight as well.
It was complete chaos.
Wonder Woman blocked the bullets from the guards with her bracelets with ease. She charged at the guards and punched them across the face.
Batgirl jumped over the wrestlers with ease. She threw electric bat-arangs at them, shocking their nervous systems.
Supergirl and Powergirl mowed through the heavier fighters like Bane and Killer Croc with their super strength and flight.
Zatanna used her magic to round up the guards that were trying to run away from the heroes.
Green Lantern created a large octopus construct that caught all the people in the crowds as they tried to make for the exits.
Bumblebee flew down to the referee as he tried to sneak away amidst the chaos of the fight. She blasted him in the forehead with her stingers, knocking him out.
Deku was left with Atomic Skull to face off against. As the champion wrestler blasted his atomic breath at the hero, he used One For All to run circles around the fighter. He swiped under Atomic Skull's legs with a powerful kick. He then punched the fighter's stomach knocking the air out of him. Just as the Atomic Skull tried to get back up, Deku grabbed hold of his legs before he spun him like a tornado. Deku then flung Atomic Skull at the ceiling of the electric cage, shocking the champion and knocking him out.
As the heroes were fighting and putting an end to the Meta Brawl, Bakugo and Giganta snuck out the back without anyone being the wiser. Their faces had smudge marks and lipstick kisses with satisfied and still hungry faces for more.
"Best wrestling tournament ever," Giganta moaned.
