Welcome to the third edition of the Merlin Magazine. We start this edition with some more remarkable pictures from Sil.

Victory Defends her Title, part 1 - pictures by Sil, words by Merlin
Victory enters the auditorium to a rapturous welcome from from all her faithful fans who have filled the place to support her in the first defense of her WCF Championship. (Editor's Note - The Wrestling Council Federation (WCF) is a new federation specialising in hard female wrestling tournaments with huge prize money. We will learn more about this organisation in future stories).

Victory enters the ring and strips off her red silk gown. The audience cheer loudly when they see her athletic body and the WCF Championship belt which encircles her muscular abdomen. She poses for the cameras wearing the championship belt which she won three months previously from the previous Champion and leader of the WCF Viper team - Talia, aka the Russian Wrecker.

As Victory takes off the WCF belt and hands it to the Referee, the Announcer gives the details about the Champion.

Record to date: 25 fights, won 23
WCF ranking - 3rd behind Talia (leader of the Vipers) and Victory (leader of the Angels)

The announcer now calls out "This match is for the WCF Championship. The best of five falls, five submissions or a knock-out to a count of 20 will determine the winner. It will be fought without time limit and without rounds. There will be a break of one minute after each fall or submission before the fight is restarted. OK ladies, come to the centre of the ring and shake hands."

The two wrestlers come to the centre of the ring to be introduced.

Razor shows her edge immediately by refusing to shake hands with Victory, but instead snarls at her "Call yourself Victory? Well you ain't going to taste that tonight Bitch, cos I'm going to cream your ass!"

The match begins well for Victory. She lays into Razor with some well placed high kicks that really rattle the Challenger. However things start to go badly wrong after Razor breaks through Victory's defenses and slams a full legged kick into the Champion's crotch. As the Champ staggers back winded and shocked by the blow Razor calls out harshly for all to hear, "The cunt can't take it where it hurts!"

The low blow has clearly really hurt Victory and thrown her off her stride. Razor takes full advantage of the Champ's obvious difficulty and lays into her with formidable energy, driving kick after kick into her advisory's face and body. Victory's blood soon starts to flow as Razor's battle hardened feet relentlessly strike their target.

After a few minutes of this brutal battering Victory is in a sorry state, lurching round the ring from one hammer blow to the next. As Victory staggers drunkenly from a kick to the head, Razor moves behind her and lets fly another straight legged kick that zaps up into the Champ's crotch. Victory lets out a guttral croak of pain and then falls to her face on the mat. Immediately Razor drops onto the Champion, pile driving her right knee into the small of her back.

For a few seconds Razor holds her position over Victory. "I'm going to bust you in two, Bitch!" she growls as she grinds and twists her knee hard into the small of Victory's back.

The crowd let out a loud groan of despair as they see their girl taking such awful punishment. Razor now gets up off Victory and rolls her over. The Champ slouches on the canvas totally stunned as Razor gets to her feet.

"Come on Bitch, get to your feet and face the new Champion" snarls Razor as she beckons Victory to get up off the mat.

When there is no response from the Champ, Razor grabs her rival's legs, drags her unresisting into the middle of the ring and rolls her into a superbly executed folding body press pin. "Get out of this you Cunt!" she says as she pins the hapless Champ hard on the canvas.

The Referee counts the pin, "One, Two, Three! First fall by a pin to Razor!"

Razor lifts herself off Victory who remains folded on the canvas for a few seconds before eventually unrolling herself to lie spreadeagle on the mat at the Challenger's feet. Razor looks down contemptuously at her prostrate rival, then she clears her throat and gobs a large blob of phlegm onto Victory's belly.

"You're finished already Bitch. Now I'm going to tear you apart!" growls the Challenger looking down at the humilated Champion.

Will Victory come back from the edge of defeat? Watch out for part 2 in the next issue of Merlin Magazine.

Midnight Encouter, part 3
When the woman sees that Jackie is fainting she stops pounding at her abdomen and tells the man to slacken his hold on her neck. Slowly Jackie regains her senses as the blood returns to her head and the pain in her belly subsides.

As soon as Jackie is fully conscious again the woman lets fly a really brutal punch that smacks into her lower belly with a loud meaty "thwack" that echoes round the gym. Immediately Jackie gives out a soft cry and faints. The man feels her sag in his arms and releases her to collapse face down on the gym floor.

"Come on" says the man, "That's taught her a lesson she won't forget, let's get out of here."

"No way!" says the woman. "My Sister's going to be in hospital for months because of this bitch, I haven't finished with her yet!"

"Come on, you've done enough, she's learnt her lesson." he replies.

"You can go if you want to" says the woman, "but I'm staying to see this through to the end!"

"OK, well you can stay, but I'm getting out of here." he declares as he walks towards the door to the changing room.

Looking back as he closes the door, he sees the woman rolling the unconscious Jackie onto her back on the gym floor and then straddling her waist. He doesn't even want to think about what she's going to do to Jackie next!

Sonya v Sweetie Pie, part 1 by Merlin
As soon as the match starts Sonya launches herself at Sweetie like something demented. She tears into the young woman, pumping several blisteringly hard underarm punches into her abdomen. Although Sweetie is an experienced fighter, the violence and ferocity of this assault catches her by surprise, and so Sonya's punches are able to blast through her defenses and drive deep into her abdominal muscles. The redhead completes her attack by slamming a nasty left hook into Sweetie Pie's right breast.

Sweetie crumpled forward from the pain in her breast and abdomen allowing Sonya to follow up with a hard elbow chop to the back of the neck. The young woman is completely devastated from this punishing blow, and staggers backward hardly knowing which way is up. But the redhead is in no mood to show any mercy. She straight way launches a high kick that catches poor Sweetie on the side of her head and sends her hurtling backward out of control.

Sweetie crashes to the ground on her back, knocked into a stupor by the redhead's brutal blows. Sonya stands over her rival as the count is started.

"One, Two, Three....."
