Sunset Shimmer walked backward a few steps away then bowed down with palms pressed together. “You possess great power now, but if you’re not careful, it can break your opponent, or yourself. A mere one layer of pantyhose was enough to turn me into a she-demon. But you’re not ready to tap into that power yet.” She stood straight and slapped her chest with both hands repeatedly. “Come at me with all you’ve got. Taunt me until I’m demoralized if you can!”
Wallflower didn’t want to buy anything Sunset Shimmer was selling, yet the clarity of her goal was unlike anything she experienced in her life before. Failure simply wasn’t an option. With a fixed stare at her opponent, she began crafting taunts as if all the blood from her legs was pumped to her brain, sending it into overdrive. Her vocal cords tightened as if by an effect of Thaumaturgy. Her normally silent voice turned into booming shockwaves as she yelled out at Sunset Shimmer.
“I see you’re disconnected from reality since there are no tears in your eyes. The world is suffering. I know it to be true. I feel the pressures of agony from all sides with my very being.”
"I want to run away from the dozen pantyhoses that I’m wearing even more than I’d be willing to run from death. Ergo, death has nothing on me now that I'm wearing them."
"I had to put on multiple layers of pantyhoses in preparation for this fight. You'll pay for making me do that!"
“I won’t forgive you, just as these pantyhoses are unforgiving to me.”
“You’ll know no pleasure of winning for the rest of our encounter, just as I don’t know the pleasure of freedom anymore. The pantyhoses took away the last patch of free skin.”
"You can't hurt me more than I'm already hurting."
"Your opposition is just a welcome distraction from the much greater discomfort that I'm feeling because of the tight-fitting clothes."
"You can’t tear me apart, not with all these layers of compression holding me together."
“I used to be afraid of cuts, but now I just want you to rip me free. I want to see everything that binds me destroyed!”
“Even if you cut my legs, I wouldn’t bleed. My blood vessels are so squeezed that there’s practically no blood flow in them.”
"You can't break me, the pantyhoses have already done so."
"My discomfort is your demise, these pantyhoses are my ultimate weapon. They give me the desire to end it all."
"I can’t handle the tightness so I’ll overcompensate by handling you!"
"I may be suffocating in these pantyhoses, but in the end, I'll be victorious."
"You'll never defeat me. You can’t defeat one who has already been conquered by the discomfort of wearing multiple layers of pantyhoses."
"If I can go through with wearing tight clothes then the challenge before me doesn’t even compare."
"The pantyhoses are too tight for me to prolong this any longer."
"I'll squeeze the morale out of you, just like these pantyhoses are squeezing my legs."
"You'll never see me crumble, the pantyhoses are keeping me standing. I can’t even bend my knees."
"You're no match for me, I've already lost the battle against discomfort, I can’t lose more."
"I'll squeeze the fight out of you, just like these pantyhoses are squeezing the life out of me."
"You'll never defeat me, the struggle of wearing tight clothes makes this test trivial in comparison."
"You'll be similarly caught in my web that these pantyhoses are trapping my skin."
"I'll squeeze the fight out of you, just like these pantyhoses are squeezing my bladder."
"You'll be defeated, just like my circulation is thwarted by these pantyhoses. I can’t even feel my legs anymore."
"I have nothing but focus and control remaining because all the potential for distraction has already been claimed by the pantyhoses I’m wearing."
"You'll be caught in my grip, just like these pantyhoses are gripping my legs."
"You'll be defeated, just like my comfort is disconsolate by these pantyhoses."
"The pantyhoses are restrictive, and if I have to suffer, I’ll make you suffer as well."
"You'll never see my defeat, the pantyhoses already claimed it."
"You'll be caught in my trap, just like these pantyhoses are trapping my skin."
"I'll outsmart you, just like these pantyhoses are opposing my every move before I even make it."
"You'll be defeated, just like my flexibility is crestfallen by these pantyhoses."
“The abundance of blood in my head allows me to tap into my hidden vocabulary, just like pantyhoses are reaching into my most private areas.”
"I'll outdo your expectations, just like these pantyhoses are outdoing my will to live."
"You'll be defeated, just like my mobility is subdued by these pantyhoses."
"The pantyhoses may be constricting, but they're also giving me composure. Even if I wanted to kneel before you, I couldn’t because the many layers won’t allow me to bend my knees."
"You can't keep up with me, just like I can't keep up with the sensory overload from the tight pantyhoses."
"I shall hold my ground because these pantyhoses are so constricting that I don't want to move."
"I'll outlast you, just like these pantyhoses will probably outlast me. I’m running out of breath as we speak."
"You'll be outmatched, just like these pantyhoses are outmatching me."
"The pantyhoses may be tight, but they're also giving me a death wish."
"I'm more present in the moment, my clothes touching me all over without my consent ensure it."
"Your distraction tactics may have worked on your other foes, but they won't work on me because I'm already distracted plenty by the sensation of the fabric rubbing against my skin and applying unyielding pressure upon it."
"You cannot break my morale because it already broke when you dressed me up for this fight."
“You could threaten me with a knife right now but I’d only welcome it because I’m not sure how else I’ll be able to get out of this stupid fabric without something sharp.”
“You think victory over me would be a nice thing, but we can’t have nice things because pantyhoses exist in this world. You cannot have a nice thing because the fact remains that I’m wearing pantyhoses right now. ”
“You wish to reason with me, but you fail to understand that it’s completely unreasonable for anybody to wear pantyhose, and I’m currently wearing multiple.”
“I know what you’re thinking. You believe I’m in a tight spot right now. You have no grasp on the extent of tightness I’m in.”
“There are only 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who have worn pantyhose in their lives and the innocent ones who have not yet been defiled. Witness my corruption take root as I transition to the dark side. Innocence lost can never be regained!”
“My rage is unquenchable because the violation on my legs is everlasting.”
“If I am destined to suffer, you shall suffer as well!”
“The tightness I have to constantly endure is so unbearable that it becomes me. I will be unbearable to you in turn!”
“You hope for victory, but hope is a lie. I know for my hopes have been snuffed out by the tightness of the pantyhose.”
“The clothes you’re wearing may be heavier than mine, but my burden is the greatest!”
“Pantyhoses don’t decay like we do. In a sense, now that they latched onto me, that part of me is immortal. What chance do you have against me, mortal?”
“No pain that you might unleash upon me can compare to the pressure I feel right now.”
“I’m in a position where I only wish for death. I wish it upon you too!”
“You may beg for mercy after this, but the world itself does not deserve salvation, for pantyhose exists in it. Mercy is only a fairytale.”
“You cannot defeat me for one can only be defeated once, and I’m already utterly defeated by the tightness I feel.”
“I can never rest for I am restless because I’m itching everywhere, and if I touch myself I only feel it more.”
“Have you ever felt so anxious that you just exhibit the urge to destroy somebody? I feel that all the time now.”
“My faith is unshaken. Suffering is the only higher power. This newfound dogma is law!”
"If I may only undress when this fight ends, I'll make quick work of you because god knows I want to strip naked right now due to the chaffing I feel because of the dumb fabric."
"You've only seen half of my power. I use the other half straining my thighs, trying not to get squished by the pantyhoses completely."
"You think you are good enough to stand on this battlefield? A good enough warrior has not yet been born. None can withstand the ultimate power of pantyhose. It's only a matter of how many pairs before one succumbs. We are all destined for defeat; pantyhoses ensure mine, and I'll ensure yours!"
“My ego took a hit by the mere fact that you’ve seen me wearing tight clothes, I cannot let you walk away from here undefeated. You won’t be bi-winning tonight.”
Wallflower shook her head, breaking her mind off the test. Due to the sensory overload, she could only focus on one thing at a time. Before her kneeled crumpled Sunset Shimmer, clearly demoralized.
“Did I pass the test?”
“Yeah, you’ve already passed it with your first taunt. But you kept on going…” Sunset slowly stood up, hugging her shoulders with her hands. “It seems the student has surpassed the master. I have nothing more to teach you.” She walked to the exit of the gym.
“Good, then I’m taking these off!” Wallflower slid her palms down the body, under all the layers of pantyhoses. But all she achieved with that was to get her hands stuck in there as well. When she struggled, she lost her balance and fell. “Ugh, little help here, please?” She looked at her former teacher who was already at the exit.
“Make sure you undress only one layer at a time else you can get stuck and won’t be able to undress.”
Wallflower tried to retract her hands, but the elbows were already past the event horizon of the pantyhoses. When she bent them, they only lifted the pantyhoses higher which was exactly opposite of what she wanted. And when she straightened her hands, they only drifted further in. The more she struggled, the more she got stuck.
The exit door shut closed behind Sunset Shimmer.
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait!”
With that, Wallflower Blush was left alone to twirl uselessly on the floor. A long night full of sweating, crying and hyperventilating in the bounds of tightness awaited her.
