Chapter 2 - Trips, Slips and Flips
"...so
then I told him that if he didn't put his hands back where they belonged, he'd
be facing a sexual harassment suit so fast that they'd foreclosing his business
and selling off his assets before he got the notice!" the red haired woman
said as she finished putting her make-up on in front of a desk mirror.
Janice
nodded slightly as she adjusted the frilly red and gold corset she was wearing
and attached the garters to her sheer black stockings. "I don't blame
you one bit, Donna, though remember that some of the guys you run into that
have ' busy hands' can make or break you in the modeling business so tread carefully
the next time you feel a guy pinch your ass," she said before standing
straight and adjusting her bracelets that adorned her wrists.
Once the two
had finished their preparations, they hurried towards the stage area where they
would walk down the runway as part of Irene's Intimates lingerie show. However,
when the two approached the stage area, they found the backstage area eerily
quiet and completely devoid of people. Janice and Donna looked at each
other in puzzlement as they approached the curtains leading to the runway with
the only sign of anything else out of the ordinary being puddles of water seeping
under the drapery.
When the two
models stepped out onto the runway, they took in a sight that had them standing
in shocked silence with their mouths gaping open. Everything in the large
room, objects and people both, seemed to be covered in a thick layer of ice
that had frozen them right where they stood. Donna saw Gina and Francesca
were still about halfway down the runway and both cocooned in ice that glistened
and sparkled in the room's lighting. Gina, clad in a sheer blue satin
bra and panty set with a thin nightie, looked to have been immobilized while
looking down at something below the stage with her hands outwards from her side
and slightly bent over at the waist. Francesca, wearing a black and white
bustier with gold piping, looked to have been caught from behind by surprise
as she was frozen in the process of turning to face her attacker(s) with her
mouth agape and eyes wide open. Her left arm was drawn up as if to cover herself
with her right arm extended fully outward as if she could stop whatever enveloped
her.
The two models
barely had time to think about the frozen tableau around them when they heard
a noise from the left of the stage. They turned towards the sound and
saw a blonde haired woman wearing a silver and blue unitard with a large fur
stole draped over her shoulders carrying what appeared to be a large red flare
gun in her hands. Standing behind her were two muscular men with Glacial
and Polar written on their respective chests. Next to them was
a woman in a multi-colored outfit carrying a pink Pezzy dispenser in her left
hand who looked at the bewildered models with a wry smile on her face.
"You two look a little
out of place standing there in your undies, moving around. Why don't I
do something to make you look a little more appropriate in your current surroundings?"
the woman with a fur stole said before a beam of pure white energy surged
forth from the weapon and enveloped the two women. They barely had
time to react before their bodies and minds entered the frigid prisons they
found themselves entombed in.
Seconds later, the icy
stillness in the room was shattered by a loud, uproarious laugh which echoed
throughout the vicinity. The villainess known as Lady Ice walked around
the frozen figures running her right forefinger over the icy statues while nodding
in approval.
"Ah...another cold crime committed
by Lady Ice, queen of cold. I should be the guest at more of these type
functions in the future. I wonder..." the villainess started to
exhort in a self congratulatory manner before she was interrupted by loud coughing
coming from behind her.
"I hate to interrupt your little
ego-boo speech there, Lady Ice, but I was wondering how you were planning to
get all the jewelry and money off these frozen guests to make this a successful
caper? It'll be pretty hard to ask them to hand it over now, won't it?"
Hocus Pocus asked while twirling her Pezzy dispenser in her hand.
Lady Ice's face briefly darkened
in consternation before she recovered her composure. "Well, that's what
Glacial and Polar are here for. With their motorized ice picks, they can crack
open the ice figures here in no time at all," she gestured towards her
muscular hirelings who lumbered forward with silver picks in their right hands.
"Ummm..that's all well and good but
I think there's a little problem with that. No matter how fast the guys
are at chipping through to the goods, the cops are still going to be here any
minute. I doubt your ice gun can handle them all and my wand is kind of
limited...." Hocus said in a very matter of fact type of tone. The
fact that, seconds later, the distant wail of police sirens only served to underline
her argument.
"DAMN!! Well, that's a little
too much heat for this cold criminal. Glacial, Polar... change of plans!
Grab whatever you think is valuable and let's get out of here. Hocus,
if you'll follow me... I'd like to talk to you about a few things for my next
frigid felony, if you don't mind." Lady Ice yelled out to everyone else
in the room.
The criminals quickly gathered up what they
could and headed out of the building leaving the many frozen men and women to
stand in icy silence as the sirens grew closer by the second. The frozen
figures heard the voices of many people over the next few minutes with those
voices mostly expressions of horror and outrage at the scene they all saw. Unfortunately,
the arrival of the authorities proved too late to apprehend the perpetrators
from setting off for another place to commit a crime.
Thirty minutes later.....
"......ice picks can't go in too far
or else! Turn those portable heaters on full blast! Let's get those
blankets ready, you guys! We're going to have a lot of cold people needing
warmth as soon as we free them from the ice!" a woman yelled out at the
people scurrying around the still figures in the room. Several people
were already outside wrapped in wool blankets sipping on hot coffee while ambulance
attendants attended to those who had suffered more severe reactions.
In the middle of the chaos strode three
shapely women walking towards the auditorium in a purposeful manner. Two
of them, dressed in skin tight gold and white outfits, were the renowned crimefighters
Lycra Woman and Spandex Girl, the aerobic duo cheered by the denizens and scourge
of the criminal element. Accompanying them was their newest ally, Steptrainer,
aka the Fitness Mistress, who was dressed in a black and gold leotard that hugged
her lithe frame tightly. Thigh high white boots and bare thighs completed
a stunning look that made her, in the brief time she had been going up against
the evil of the city, the talk of everyone who read of her exploits.
"Steptrainer???... if that isn't the stupidest
name for a heroine I've ever heard!.... she's been a hero for, what,
three months and she's already acting like she's better than me..." Suzie
aka Spandex Girl thought to herself as she strode in with her fellow heroines.
"Ah, the Aerobic Trio.... it's good to have you
three around here. It seems the diabolical Lady Ice has struck yet again
at this fashion show. However, no one seems to have been permanently harmed
and, strangely enough, nothing seems to have been stolen," a disheveled
man in his mid 40's said as he pushed back his fedora hat and looked at the
scene before him.
"No problem at all, Detective Starsky. We saw
the police cars heading at great speed to this area and we came to investigate
what had happened. It's unfortunate that we arrived too late to catch
Lady Ice and her goons in the act. Is there any indication what caused
them to flee without any loot?" Lycra Woman asked the detective as she
whipped out her portable hair dryer and helped in the unthawing of the remaining
frozen victims.
"Nope, no indication at all. In fact, we didn't have
police in the area when this occurred and only got here after a local resident
noticed water running out a side door and called us. We did get some odd
reports from the victims of another person with Ice and her gang. The
person was described as a woman in her late 20's wearing a red and yellow outfit
carrying what looked one of those Pezzy dispenser novelties in her right hand.
Though she didn't actually do anything as far as the witnesses saw, Ice
and her bunch seemed to be getting advice from this mystery woman," the
detective said as he consulted his notepad for details.
"Well, that would explain these Pezzy candy bits lying on
the floor over here, Detective Starsky. Would you mind if we took back
a sample to the Aerobobase for analysis?" Steptrainer said as she bent
over to pick up a piece of the candy and flashed a smile at the detective.
Detective Starsky's face slightly reddened as he looked
at Steptrainer's face as well as her curvaceous body that was squeezed tight
in her body hugging outfit. "Uhhhh..why sure..I guess you can, Steptrainer.
After all, if anyone can figure out Ice's motives, it's you and your fellow
crimefighters," he said trying not to stare as Steptrainer turned around
to examine something on the wall which showed her shapely toned ass to the detective.
"Geez, you think she was in charge of everything the way she
talks. Look at the way she's primping in front of the detective... I know
we wear our skin tight outfits to distract onlookers so they won't be able to
figure out our secret identities but sheesh...." Spandex Girl thought
to herself as she watched Steptrainer pepper the flustered detective with questions.
The youngest of the three heroines grimaced noticeably as she held her
hair dryer in the direction of the statues while looking on at Steptrainer's
actions.
"Spandex Girl! Pay attention to what you're doing!" Lycra
Woman shouted at her younger team mate from across the room.
"Huh? Ooops..." Spandex Girl was puzzled for a second
by Lycra Woman's urgent shout from across the room until she looked up and saw
that the hair dryer was blowing warm air onto an unfrozen and now red faced
woman, who was still frozen from her chest down. The young heroine blushed
and lowered her dryer downward vowing to keep her mind on her work until it
was done and deal with Steptrainer later.
Several hours later, with all the frozen victims freed and either
sent home or to the hospital and the police leaving the crime scene, the three
heroines stood outside the hall by themselves discussing what their next should
be.
"We should head back to the Aerobobase and analyze that remnant
I found inside to see if it's something more than candy and/or provide clues
to the mystery woman that was with Lady Ice here," Steptrainer said with
her arms folded across her chest in a confident manner.
"What? Are you kidding? Lady Ice could be out committing
another crime as we speak to make up for her failures here. We should
spread out across the city in search of that psychotic bitch and stop her before
she gets started right away!" Spandex Girl exhorted to her comrades.
"Spandex Girl, watch your language! As far as your suggestions
go, I think they both have merit to them. Therefore, I suggest I go back
to Aerobobase and analyze the Pezzy candy while you two head out in the Aerobomobile
and track down the dastardly Lady Ice and her cohorts. If you get into
trouble, get in touch with me immediately back at the base and I'll come as
quick as I can. Is there any questions?" Lycra Woman said with a
firm and decisive tone.
"Steptrainer and me? Wha..Why us...? We've never worked
together before when fighting crime. Why not send Steptrainer back to
the base while you and I hunt down the chilly criminal?" Spandex Girl
said with a pleading voice as she looked with disdain for a moment at the black
and gold clad Steptrainer.
"Normally, I'd agree with you, Spandex Girl. However, Steptrainer
is not as adept in communicating with our resident scientific genius Helflin
as you or I am. Therefore, my decision stands and I'll head back right
now to start the analysis," Lycra Woman said before jumping into the Aerobomobile
and roaring off into the darkness.
"So, Spandex Girl, since you seem to know everything, where should we
head to first in our attempts to stop the criminals in question?" Steptrainer
asked the younger heroine with a disdainful look.
"Grrrr... " thought Spandex Girl to herself as she stormed off
towards Steptrainer's car, a black Corvette with gold trim, vowing she'd expose
this woman as a heroine totally lacking in skills in the crime fighting business.
The two stepped inside the vehicle and sped off into the night with each
determined to prove to the other just how superior they were in apprehending
criminals.
One hour later....
Hillary looked at her wristwatch and saw to her relief that there
was only fifteen minutes left before the end of the day and she could head home
for the day. As one of two tellers at Gold Key National Bank for the weekday
afternoon shift, it was usually a pretty quiet and boring job. However, today
happened to be the second last day of the month which meant lots of pensioners
and people on income assistance coming in to get their money or get rid of lots
of rolls of change.
"I hope I don't have to deal with any more old crones with half
rolls of pennies today... sheesh..." the red haired woman thought
as she leafed through the receipts from the transactions she had handled during
the day. After tapping on a keyboard for several seconds, Hillary
looked up when she heard the approach of someone to the counter. She gasped
when she saw two costumed figures standing before her with one holding a long
red nozzle in her right hand. Hillary didn't have enough time to react
before her world seemed to come to a stand still in a frozen landscape.
Thirty seconds or so later, the interior of the bank resembled
the fashion show earlier in the evening with numerous men and women in icy tombs
frozen in various poses and looks. The only difference was that there
were no women dressed in revealing lingerie visible in the room though there
was one that Hocus Pocus and Lady Ice noticed right away with sadistic amusement
that was quite distracting. A late 20's - early 30's blonde woman was
standing near the air conditioning unit in the bank drinking a cold glass of
water dressed in a light pink blouse and white mini skirt when the two villainesses
swept into the premises. The woman had just let the glass slip out of
her hand when the freeze ray swept over and coated her from head to toe in a
layer of ice. As the villainesses noticed with glee, this, coupled with the
fact that the woman had been wearing no bra under her blouse, caused the frozen
victim's nipples to protrude quite noticeably against the fabric of the blouse.
"Hey, boss, ya think it would be possible that I could take home
one of these frozen babes with the loot? I'm sure she'd like me once I
warmed her up a little. Ha! Ha!" Polar asked his frigid boss as
he poked the surface of one of the frozen women.
"Not now, Polar. Thanks to the brain freeze I had before,
we've got little time to pull this robbery off before the cops show up. Help
Glacial empty out the teller's drawers while I take care of the vault door,"
Lady Ice commanded to her hired help before moving next to Hocus once
again.
"Thanks for letting me know about the bank that was near the hall,
Hocus. Were you casing the place for yourself to rob in the future?" the
frigid felon asked the villainess accompanying her. The wand carrying
Hocus Pocus looked at her fellow criminal and at her hirelings, which were starting
to clean out the tellers' cash drawers, before replying.
"As I said before, I'm new to all of this. I've been a customer
at this bank for the last three years or so before..... things changed for me,"
the black haired woman said as she idly twirled her pink Pezzy dispenser/wand
in her hands.
Lady Ice arched her right eyebrow in interest. "Things changed,
eh? Were you visited by aliens in the middle of the night and they gave
you special powers?" she said in a mocking tone.
"Hardly aliens, Ice. You see, one night.... " Hocus
started to say before being interrupted by the loud swinging open of the bank's
doors and two familiar female figures bursting through.
"Sorry to interrupt your criminal chit chat, you two, but I think
the bank frowns on withdrawals made by freezing its customers. Surrender
to Steptrainer and her fellow crime fighters!" the black and gold clad
heroine shouted as she advanced towards the criminals.
"Fellow crime fighters..?? ...sheesh..." Spandex Girl thought
to herself as she advanced along with her aerobic counterpart towards the two
evildoers. "Give up, you two, and surrender to the mighty aerobic fighters
kn-...URRKKK!!" Spandex Girl started to proclaim her own heroic speech
before being interrupted by the goon Glacial from behind.
"Sorry, you aerobic twits, but my plans do not include cooling
my heels in a prison chosen by a judge and jury. Glacial, Polar, keep
these two on ice while me and my associate Hocus Pocus finish gathering up the
loot," Lady Ice yelled to her minions as she and Hocus Pocus quickly grabbed
the canvas bags filled with cash and made for the back of the bank.
"Come back here, you criminals!" Steptrainer shouted while simultaneously
delivering a leg kick to Polar's mid section sending the criminal crashing to
the ground in a heap. Using the distraction to her advantage, Spandex
Girl slipped out of Glacial's viselike grasp, whirling and hitting the goon
in his adam's apple with a precise karate chop. Glacial gurgled as he
fell to the floor with his face turning a bright red.
The two heroines ran in the direction that their opponents hoping
to catch them before they could made good their escape. However, when they got
to the door in the back of the bank leading outside, the two crime fighters
ran right into a large patch of ice that caused both of them to tumble to the
ground while still moving forward. The heroines slid several feet through
the open doorway and tumbled into a car parked in a lot next to the bank.
"C'mon, Spandex Girl, let's stop these two!" Steptrainer
said as she pulled herself to her feet and helped her counterpart up. After
brushing herself off quickly, the black and gold clad Steptrainer advanced in
one direction of the lot while her youthful companion went in another with the
idea they would catch the criminals between them.
Unfortunately, for Spandex Girl, when she walked around the
corner of a gray family sized van, she found herself literally standing almost
nose to nose with Hocus Pocus and Lady Ice. The two criminals looked at
the brightly costumed heroine with amusement clearly visible on their faces.
"Well, well, poor little Spandex Girl. You're all by yourself with
no help and no one to fight for you while you stand back and watch," Lady
Ice called out in a derisive voice.
"You can say what you want, Ice Chest, but you and your cronies have
a one trip to jail and I intend to start punching that ticket NOW!" Spandex Girl yelled as she launched
herself feet first into the mid section of Hocus Pocus. The impact sent
the wand carrying woman hurtling to the ground and sending her Pezzy wand skittering
across the pavement.
"People with evil intents should never taunt those sworn to put them
away. Now to see...EEEEP!!" Spandex Girl started to say before an
intense feeling of cold swept over her and she found herself growing rigid all
over. Her mouth slightly gaped open in shock at what was happening to
her as her body became increasingly unresponsive to her thoughts. She
could see sheets of ice starting to form around her feet, still spread apart
in a heroic fashion and lower legs.
"Not...ag..againnnn...no..not a.. fr...fr..frr..freeeeeeezzz...."
Spandex Girl gasped as she felt the freezing process from Lady Ice's gun rapidly
coat her lithe body. Although she had been on the receiving end of the
cold generating weapon before, it was an experience she could do without.
Her left arm and hand, with the hand planted firmly on her tiny waist, rapidly
took on a thickening layer of ice as did her right hand, extended straight out
from her body from when she made her heroic boast prior to the blast.
The ice spread rapidly over the heroine's body as well as invading
her mouth and nose with no relent. Spandex Girl felt her breathing slow
to a halt with her last few breaths coming out in white wisps emanating from
frozen lips. As her vision clouded over, she saw Lady Ice standing in
front of her holding her weapon upwards with a victorious look evident on her
face. A few seconds later, that vision disappeared as Spandex Girl slipped
into a frozen state oblivious to all around her.
"So much for the girl who thinks she's a heroine. Hocus,
grab your wand while I get the bags of cash and we'll get out of here.
We're not sticking around for Glacial and Polar to catch up with us.... goons
like them are a dime a dozen these days," Lady Ice yelled out as she sprinted
away from the ice statue and over to where the leather bags stuffed with cash
laid stacked up against a black Ford Truck.
Just as the villainess had bent over and grasped one of the
cash bags, she felt herself being pulled upwards followed by a solid punch
to her stomach. Lady Ice stumbled backwards with her weapon, as well as
the cash bag, slipping out of her hands and falling to the pavement.
"You crooks just don't get it. No matter how hard you
try in schemes to make yourselves rich at the expense of hard working people,
there will always be people of virtue and truth ready to stop you!" Steptrainer
said planting her hands on her hips in a bold and heroic stance.
"Hocus, give me a hand here!" Lady Ice called out as she
threw a punch at her adversary that just missed Steptrainer's face.
"Just a second, Ice!" Hocus Pocus yelled as she reached under
the car where her wand was and pulled it out. She started to move across
the parking lot towards the two other women when she suddenly stumbled while
an energy beam shot out of the weapon.
"What the...? Look out, you...." Lady Ice shouted
as she saw her ally stagger just as she was discharging her weapon. Her
warning shout was cut short as the frigid felon found herself enveloped in a
blue and yellow ball of energy from head to toe. Almost immediately, the villainess
found her ability to move and talk cease altogether as she found her body contorting
on its own without any direction from her. Her arms locked in by her sides
and her legs did likewise with her muscles stiff and rigid throughout her well
toned body.
As Steptrainer looked on in shock and bewilderment, the heroine
saw her foe's clothing started to change shape and color with amazing speed.
She saw Lady Ice's trademark stole disappear while her outfit changed into a
blue cotton leotard with shiny tan pantyhose and bright pink and white slippers.
While this was going on, the heroine saw a metallic stand forming under the
villainess' still form with a sign saying EXERCISE
TODAY ! becoming visible on front of the stand.
A second or so later, Lady Ice's expression changed
from one of intense anger tinged with shock to one of extreme happiness with
a smile that was unsettlingly bright. The villainess' black hair shimmered
and changed into long strands of blonde hair that stopped just past her shoulders
with a healthy pink glow becoming noticeable in her cheeks. If this wasn't
bizarre enough, Lady Ice's chest swelled outwards by at least one cup size and
pressed sensuously against the fabric of the leotard. However, there was
no noticeable movement of the chest moving as if the villainess had stopped
breathing altogether in addition to her lack of motion.
Lady Ice's transformation completed its insidious process
as her limbs and digits took on a glossy artificial look while strangely a whirring
sound can be heard emanating from her backside. Peering around, Steptrainer
saw what appeared to be large wind-up key jutting out of the villainess' back
with the key winding steadily. Looking down, she saw what looked a metal
rod extending up from the stand and into where Lady Ice's anus would be via
a small hole in the leotard.
Stepping back, Steptrainer saw to her amazement that the villainess'
arms and legs were starting to tremble noticeably as the whirring sound came
to a halt. She stepped back oblivious to the fact that Hocus Pocus was
advancing slowly up to her with her wand pointed at the heroine in a menacing
manner.
"All right, everyone, it's time to get into shape!"
Lady Ice chirped in a voice that dripping in sweetness. A second later,
her arms and legs moved back and forth as the villainess started doing jumping
jacks in a rapid motion. Her chest bounced up and down in a manner that
would have drawn attention from an elderly man as her breasts came close several
times to protruding openly from her outfit. After counting to ten, the
villainess stopped doing jumping jacks, pulled up straight and, putting her
arms straight up, started touching her toes in a rapid manner.
"This is just plain strange indeed. Why would anybody
do....OOOOHHHH!!!!" Steptrainer started to say before she felt herself
being enveloped by the energy bem flowing once again from Hocus Pocus.
As with Lady Ice, the heroine found her ability to talk and move on her own
vanish with her feet moving apart and her hands firmly planted on her waist
in a stance like many crimefighters took when they had vanquished their opponents.
"Well, well, Miss Steptrainer, is it? It's amazing
how lackadaisical a heroine can get when tackling criminals.... even ones with
abilities above their own. You sound like the poster child for stupid
hero behavior... in fact, that gives me an idea..." Hocus Pocus said as
she waved her magical Pezzy dispenser in front of the transfixed heroine.
"WHAT????....."
the heroine thought to herself for a brief moment before she once again felt
the sensation of powerful energy flowing over her body once again. Steptrainer
found her mouth tightening into a bright smile while the rest of her lithe body
was tightening as well but in a far different manner. It felt to the heroine
like her whole body was being compressed and flattened by unseen forces and
she was becoming thinner by the second. Strangely, the feeling was mixed
with one of pleasure as she felt her breasts and sex being exerted upon the
power that had engulfed her. She had the strangest feeling like her whole
body was under a giant rolling pin that was going over her rapidly.
"Perfect..." Hocus Pocus said as she saw the glossy poster
that Steptrainer had been changed into slowly settle to the ground. Picking
up the brightly colored paper that contained the inanimate form of the heroine,
Hocus looked at the picture for several long moments before being interrupted
in her reverie by the sounds of approaching police.
"One down...." the villainess muttered softly before twirling
her wand tightly three times producing a blinding FLASH! a few seconds later.
When the bright light dissipated, the inanimate forms of Lady Ice and Steptrainer
as well as Hocus Pocus had disappeared leaving only the slowly melting ice shrouded
Spandex Girl by herself in the parking lot.
Several hours later......
"I hate dealing... wi...wi..with...col..col..cold... ACHOO!!!!"
Spandex Girl gasped before letting out a mighty sneeze. She wrapped a towel
around herself a little tighter as she tried to warm herself sitting next to
a heater in the Aerobobase.
"Yes, Lady Ice weapon can be a problem to say the least but this
new mystery villainess worries me more. Are your sure there was no sign
of the criminals or Steptrainer when you came out of your cold coma?"
Lycra Woman asked her younger crimefighter in a sympathetic way.
"None at all though a wino in a nearby alley says he saw a big
kid carrying a poster and jack-in-the-box in the vicinity of the bank where
we fo..fo.. ACHOO!!" Spandex Girl sputtered before sneezing once again.
"Well, it's obvious that the criminals have abducted our ally in
some manner and have abilities that we've never encountered before. I think
it's time I made a phone call," Lycra Woman said as she walked over to
a nearby computer console and depressed a large pink button with LL
marked on it. A few seconds later, a hole appeared in the console from
which emerged a pink and white cell phone held by a large metal claw.
"You don't mean..." Spandex Girl said while rubbing a towel vigorously
over her semi-dry hair.
"Yes. — It's time we called the Lycra League!" Lycra
Woman said as she started to dial her cell phone.
