Dethroning the King - Chapter 8 - Preparation

Hello gang! 

This is the final completed chapter in this series...and honestly, it's not even that much of a chapter. I couldn't really think of anything particularly compelling or erotic to include in this chapter, so it's shorter than the rest. I really only intended this chapter to be the transition leading up to the epic fight between Zach and his two opponents. 

From here on out, I simply have suggestions for how the story should unfold. Tomorrow, I will post my ideas for the next chapter, and I'm hoping that one or more of you will take a stab at writing some or all of the text for that next chapter. Let's make this a team effort! :D

Dethroning the King

An original story by Jayse and D.

Chapter 8 - Preparation

The next 7 days passed with agonizing slowness for a populace excited and eager to witness the upcoming event. The excitement built throughout the city and the rest of New Angeles, quickly taking on a festival-like atmosphere. Not only was this going to be the biggest fight ever in the career of their greatest hero, but the results of this match could have long-lasting effects on the barrio, and indeed, on the entire nation. 

The media blitz was virtually around the clock, with most of the coverage focusing on Zach “The King” Sorenson, the reigning champ. In depth bios detailed the young man’s troubled and tragic past, his rise to stardom, and his training for the upcoming match. TV cameras were in his gym almost 24/7, capturing every muscle-bursting, sweat-dripping, power-packed moment of the spectacularly handsome and massively built stud’s weight training and boxing regimen. Zach’s focus on his workouts was utterly intense, and he did an impressive job of ignoring the cameras, reporters, and hordes of gawkers and fans as he thundered out one mammoth set after another. 

Between sets, however, Zach was the warm, smiling, and humorous young man that had captured the hearts and minds of the populace of New Angeles, and of people around the world. Zach was shown in his natural setting, sparring and training with his young proteges in his gym, as well as talking with members of his community, performing outreach, and otherwise showing all of the ways that he helped make lives better for all of the residents in his neighborhood. 

One particularly memorable program showed his kind-hearted nature, as well as his insanely tough body, as Zach allowed himself to be used as a human punching bag by half a dozen muscular teens at the same time. Raising his phenomenally muscular arms above his head, Zach allows all six teens to pound on his body at the same time, from every side and angle, focusing on his abdomen, midsection, and middle and lower back, with occasional punches to his colossally muscular pecs and even the deep wells of his hairy armpits. The huge dude didn’t even have to flex to ward off the bare-knuckled blows — his muscles were just so damn tough that he didn’t have to! Instead, he gave each boxer pointers on how better to land their blows. Even as they pounded away at his magnificent body, it was clear that his crew of teens absolutely adored big Zach, and at the end of the training session, they all piled on top of him, dragging his massive, laughing form to the floor in a stack of slick muscles. 

By contrast, the camps for both the Annihilator and the Reaper were almost completely secretive, particularly that of the Reaper. No one in the public had even SEEN the new UFT contender yet, so there was great speculation as to who he might be. Not even Zach got a chance to see or meet the newest UFT contender, and he had to content himself with waiting to meet one of his opponents until the very match itself.
