Bunny Boxing 2000 pt 2: Bonker vs Byte (Patreon)

Lot of little bits to say about this one. I’m not intentionally trying to make a lot of my recent stories about bunnies (and some just general furries) boxing, but boy is it coming up a lot and the Patreon people seem most into those posts anyway. I kept doing small bits of this one before a hot streak today kicked in.

I mid-sentence came up with the name THUDD when I started describing it, obviously nodding to the FLUDD being the water pack in Mario Sunshine. I held back on a few of Byte's dorky lines, just because I wanted to make sure she sounded like a nerd and not some kind of robot. Obviously one more match to go for this run before I look to another character. I tease them at the end, but not hard to figure out who she’s fighting if you’ve been keeping up with the art posts.

The first round of Bonker the bunny’s story mode was cleared and the game cut back from its blank loading screen. A simple screen of a sweaty Bonker sitting in a locker room wearing her tight boxing trunks and wraps around her fists and chest. She looked off into the middle distance with her usual expression of stern focus but with a slightly more daydreamy look on her face.

“I’ll become a Bunny Boxing champion. Just like my mother.”

Some vaguely intense background music played until it cut to the next round. Apparently that was all the backstory that the game was interested in exploring for now! Bonker came springing over the ropes, the blue bunnygirl throwing some speedy shadowboxing in her corner.

“Who’s ready for a knockout?” she boasted as her stats popped up under her character’s name.

“Strength 4 Endurance 5 Stamina 8 Speed 7 Reach 3”

The camera went back to the ramp where her next opponent was on the way. Byte was a scrawny green rabbit with short, scruffy hair-fur and square-framed glasses, and despite her nerdy look she was still a few inches taller than Bonker. Her ears were short, rounded and pointed straight up. She wore green gloves and trunks with bright yellow trim, and her long-sleeved top couldn’t conceal her spindly arms. She walked towards the ring with an awkward but happy smile, waving overhead while she kept adjusting her glasses. She pushed the ropes apart as she climbed onto the apron, sliding her skinny body through easily enough before nearly tripping over the ropes before barely catching herself. She righted herself and put up her gloves in a stance so stiff that she clearly learned it from a book rather than practice.

“I’ve run the numbers, and I don’t like your odds,” Byte bragged as her glove thumbed her glasses up her button nose.

“Strength 2*, Endurance 4, Stamina 2, Speed 5*, Reach 4*”

The stats were surprising to say the least. They were universally worse than Bonker’s despite being the second opponent of the game, and the asterixis served as confusing little warnings. The player didn’t feel like pausing to look it up so they let the camera circle into place to begin their fight with the nerdy green rabbit.

The bell rang and Bonker’s had a decent grasp of the controls by now. The blue boxer immediately connected with a right hook to the face. Byte’s head whipped along with the punch and gave a quick little grunt while holding her ground. Bonker delivered a few more straights into Byte’s stomach, hammering the skinny belly with a quick combo. She charged up one of her swings before slamming it harder into the dorky boxer’s stomach, lifting her an inch off the mats. Byte sprayed spit and sweat in another burst of pixels as her glasses popped off her face, just to fall back onto her nose when she landed back on her feet and stumbled backwards.

“Oof! Alright, you big bully,” Byte grunted as she regrouped out of Bonker’s reach.

She hopped side to side on her boots before she came at her opponent with a zigzagging charge. Bonker waited patiently until Byte took a huge windup and a big loping swing and threw up his arms to block. The glove connected with Bonker’s arm and performed a perfectly timed parry, creating a flash of blue light between them. Byte immediately recoiled, thrown off balance as her arms flailed around.

“WAAA! Does not compute!” she squealed in her disoriented state.

Bonker used the opening to wind up, charging up her punch before smashing Byte in the chin with an uppercut. The skinny geek popped up, flying almost a foot off her feet before landing back on her limply wobbling legs. Stars spun around her head as her arms drooped by her sides, even more useless than they already were. The “Starstruck” status appeared under Byte’s life bar while Bonker’s remained basically untouched. Bonker smirked at the opening as she thumped her gloves together.

“Leave the fighting to the pros, stringbean,” Bonker taunted.

She threw a quick, backhanding swing to Byte’s face. Her Starstruck status vanished as soon as the hit connected but even the light lovetap made the boxing nerd jerk sharply away from it and crumble to the mats. Apparently Starstruck meant the target went down in one punch regardless. Bonker smirked and hopped back away from her, taking the moment to rest her fists and the player’s thumbs as she flexed in front of the camera.

“Stay down,” she huffed.

“Ugh… hax…” Byte groaned as she started to stir on her stomach.

The one-sided beating had her struggling to push herself back up. She paused on her knees to wipe some sweat from her forehead and give a quick, winded puff of air before she got back on her feet at the count of five.

“I’m not just ANY scrawny sweaty nerd…  come and get it,” Byte challenged defiantly.

“Suit yourself,” Bonker noted with her dry and determined tone of voice.

She stepped up, thumping the knuckles of her gloves together. The player checked on their meters, confirming that there weren’t any new stats or anything to surprise them. There were none, but there was a new, smaller meter with a bubbly green slowly filling up underneath Byte’s instead of her Super meter. Byte took a couple swings, faking her out with a feint before landing a stiff jab to Bonker’s boob. The blue boxer flinched as the nerd threw a few more quick shots, taking some body blows before they got their timing and guard back up. The hits didn’t land hard or do much damage, but Bonker noted that the meter was starting to fill up as they traded blows.

Bonker repaid Byte’s punches with interest, hitting harder and faster than the skinny green dork. Some rapid body blows pushed her back into the ropes before the blue boxer gave a short hop, striking her clean across the face with a powered up hook that snuck between her defenses. Byte’s glasses tilted off center, dangling off one side of her face as her jaw dropped open. The green hare stumbled back away from the ropes but her boots kept stepping over one another. Her moves became sloppy as the clean hit left her with a lingering Rattled status, reversing her controls on her. Bonker barely had to try to dodge around Byte’s clumsy swings.

“S-slow down,” Byte babbled listlessly.

She threw a swifter swing at Bonker, but the shorter bunny dodged and caught it under her arm.

“Gotta be quicker than that,” Bonker warned her sternly as she unleashed a barrage of punches to Byte’s midsection.

Her free hand pummeled the green rabbit’s boobs back into her chest, rapidly squashing one and then the other to bruise up her bust. Byte let out a long, vibrating groan as her body shuddered from the speedy pounding, just for Bonker to slam deep into the pit of her stomach with a low uppercut. Byte’s eyes and mouth went wide as she was knocked briefly into the air and came crumbling to her knees. Her eyes rolled as her glasses slid down her nose and onto the mats.

“Crit… fail…” Byte gurgled before falling flat on her face with her fluffy-tailed ass up in the air.

Bonker just sniffed dismissively and backed up, pounding her gloves together and flexing her short but powerful arms.

“This’ why you don’t mess with the best,” she boasted.

Byte sluggishly pushed herself back up, groaning and drooling as she rubbed her spinning head. It took past the count of 8 for her to finally drag herself to her feet, adjusting her glasses one more time.

“You don’t know when to quit,” Bonker huffed.

“Ugh… don’t act like I didn’t calculate for this,” Byte muttered, but her weary expression and a lingering Drained status wasn’t exactly intimidating.

The nerdy rabbit was sweating through her clothes when she took a few quick but wimpy swings. Bonker easily deflected them and socked Byte in the stomach, making her grunt and collapsed forward. She went for a clumsy clinch with her face resting between Bonker’s stronger bicep and bigger boobs. She was barely up, but the player noticed that while Byte’s health meter was nearly drained, that mysterious Super meter suddenly flashed and filled up.

“THUDD is fully charged,” a robotic voice droned from somewhere in Byte’s direction.

The green bunny instantly perked up and pushed away from Bonker, going back into her default stance. She threw her arms out in either direction as the camera zoomed in on her, just to have to pull back as her sleeves exploded off her arms! Two incredibly long robotic arms with flexible, rod-limb limbs and large boxing gloves on the end. They were as long as Byte was tall, poking out of a jetpack-looking device trapped to Byte’s back. Her clothes tore to make room for the concealed tech. The meter started to dwindle very slowly, but the FLUDDed status was added to Byte’s stats.

“What in the hell!?” Bonker gasped, backing off as the little cutscene played out.

“Say hello to my favorite invention: the Technological Hitting Utility Device Deck… THUDD!”

It was shocking to see but it did explain a lot about the pathetic stats on Byte. While other characters went for one big swing for their Super move, Byte got back into her fighting stance with the robotic arms still extended and added to her moveset. So when she lunged in and nailed Bonker with a glove to the gut, it barely made her flinch. The big robot arm that followed a half second later hit shockingly hard. Bonker’s head and ears whipped to one side hard enough that she almost turned completely around. A spray of her spit seemed to hit the camera in the process.

She turned back to face her with her gloves up but Byte may as well have completely changed her fighting style. Her wimpy punches led the charge, but the mechanical gloves working at their own rhythm were additional distractions. Bonker managed to block the rabbit’s punches just for a loping one-two combo to bash her head in. Her eyes fluttered and her strong legs stumbled, hurrying to put up her guard again. She dodged around one robo punch before another connected with her clenched gloves. Bonker skidded back enough that her back hit the ropes, barely managing to absorb it. She winced as sweat started to form on her fuzzy skin, so she went on the offensive. Bonker watched for the next THUDD punch and charged in as she ducked under it, but that just ran into Byte’s actual winding up fists. It hit hard enough to catch her on the jaw, making Bonker’s eyes glaze over. Byte followed up with a right cross that brought Byte to her knees.

“Strike me down and I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine,” Byte snickered, letting out a geeky snort as she adjusted her glasses proudly.

Bonker was clearly too dazed to appreciate the Star Wars quote. The last few seconds of the fight had dropped more than a quarter of her health bar and she hadn’t landed a hit on the nearly bottomed out Byte. Clearly she was a late bloomer in her matches.

The THUDD gloves angled to aim at the stunned Bonker and unleashed a barrage of blows like two huge jackhammers. Bonker’s body jerked around as she was defenseless to stop them from rearranging her face, making her cheeks and eye swell from the uninterrupted pummeling. One finally whirred and rotated its glove like a drillbit before slamming Bonker with an uppercut to the jaw. The short bunny was flung into the air, hitting the ropes and getting bounced back and down to flop onto her face. Byte proudly flexed her tiny arms while the pack clasped its hands and shook them triumphantly over her head.

“Now THAT’S the power of science!”

Bonker struggled to get up. She coughed up some drool as she pushed her gloves up on the mats, but she was clearly aching all over. Her muscles tensed as she thumped one fist into the mats and made herself get back up with a little over a quarter health left. The counter stopped at 6, but that was with a lot of button mashing. And the time she spent on the mats had clearly not used up any of Byte’s Super meter.

“Looks like I’m gonna have to break your toys, greeny,” Bonker growled as she tried to focus up, shaking her head to abandon any lingering statuses.

“Four fists are better than two,” Byte giggled as she thumped her gloves together.

The big metal ones clanged together in a similar fashion. Bonker grit her teeth and wound up her arm. The muscles bulged to their athletic peaks, impressive for such a short fighter. She triggered her super and came sprinting towards Byte to throw her glowing uppercut, but the robo arm just extended and socked her in the face in mid-charge. Bonker’s head whipped back, unprepared for its incredible reach to cut her off when she’d barely even started her attack. She stumbled heavily with a flashing Countered status blinking under her health. It was brief, but Bonker couldn’t fight back or even dodge after the perfect interrupt.

“Heh heh… predictable~!” Byte snorted as the robotic arms reached out and grabbed the witless Bonker by the arms.

They reeled her in, dangling her by the wrists right in front of Byte. Bonker just moaned and hung there like a piece of wet laundry until the geeky rabbit started taking uninterrupted swings at her body. Bonker huffed as her tenderized abs and squishable boobs made easy targets for the dork to actually get in some exercise. The light hits quickly stacked up, especially as weakened as Bonker was and especially once Byte landed a lucky shot right to her vulnerable crotch. Her whole body bucked from the beating as she groaned out in pain, her life bar getting rapidly eaten away before the THUDD limbs suddenly lifted and spiked her down to the mats. Bonker bounced off her face and boobs before landing on her back, legs splayed out and tits wobbling as she panted for air.

“1! 2! 3! 4!”

Even with the mashing buttons, Bonker’s life bar was dwindling fast. She grunted as she leaned onto one elbow, shaking her head wearily. The digital, 2-frame audience’s cheers started to peak as she rolled out of the puddle of sweat and grabbed the ropes for support. She all but climbed up them before leaning on the top one, panting for air and dripping sweat down her hair and ears, but she was officially up by 9.

“That’s it… I’m done fucking around,” Bonker threatend breathlessly as she put up her dukes.

“Ha! Good luck! My DPS is off the charts!” Byte snickered.

Bonker took a steadying breath and decided it had to be now or never. Another combo and she’d be completely out of health. Her player focused up as well as the fist of the metal fists rose up high and swung a hammer blow down at her.

Bonker darted under it, dodging out of the way to let it boom against the mats. The other mechanical fist came at her zigzagging from the side and she blocked swiftly, parrying it aside. THUDD’s metallic fist zipped harmlessly past her as she managed to at least single out Byte. The tech geek boxer’s eyes widened and she threw a pair of flimsy punches. Bonker knew she couldn’t risk it in her state, gracefully dodging one and twirling past the other. The blue boxer popped her right in the stomach, making Byte huff and double over.

However, the second of the robo punches had redirected itself, pivoting around like an angular metal snake. It contorted to rocket back towards Bonker from behind, not that the player themself couldn’t see it coming. They had risked a lot to get that close to Byte, but they didn’t want to risk attacking further and leaving themselves wide open. Bonker ducked instead, letting the robot punch fly right over her head and bash Byte in the face with her own creation. She stumbled comically in place, her glasses cracked as her machine froze along with her.

“Uh… oh… over… clocked,” Byte gurgled before she flopped flat onto her back.

THUDD sparked and sputtered before blowing up in a tiny explosion. It fell to pieces on the mats around Byte while also blowing her top off, leaving her petite boobs and hard nipples out for all to see. Bonker didn’t seem phased by that, staying steady until the bell rang a second later.

“BONKER WINS! KNOCKOUT!” the game announced.

The blue rabbit, clearly bruised up from her fight. She spat onto the mats beside her and still put on a tough expression. She wiped her mouth off with her forearm before flexing her arms to their full power (or as much as she could muster like this).

“Don’t forget… I’m here to win,” she proclaimed simply enough as she posed for the camera.

“ROUND 2 OF 3 cleared!” some text confirmed.

The screen faded to black and came back to a still of Bonker training in a gym. She was just in her underwear, still focused and pushing herself to pummel a heavy bag for a bit of eye candy.

“I’m climbing through the ranks quickly now. The fights have gotten tougher, but so have I. I’m nearly at the top.”

The scene faded out after a few seconds, showing another of Bonker standing in front of the ring in her boxing robe. She looked up at it where a huge, musclebound gray and black bunnygirl stood mostly in silhouette.

“Now there’s just one boxer left for me to beat…”
