Before: “I guess HISC thought it was safe for Natalie to fight me since I got knocked out by Dove Cameron last march at the PLP vs HISC Stable War, " Brec Bassinger says defiantly. "but she in for a big surprise. I am not about to let another HISC flyweight beat me. Even if she is Hall of Famer and has titles up the wazzoo. No! I’m not letting HISC think they can push me around every time one of their old timers wants an easy win.”

Natalie Portman listens to all this with obvious annoyance: “I can see now Brec Bassinger in serious need of an attitude correction. She should be honored to fight someone of my distinguished record. Instead she makes with the tired trash talk about my being an ‘old timer’. Young lady, you WILL learn to respect your elders.”

“I never said I didn’t respect you,” Brec replies, “I just think

you have a bad attitude about newcomers. Though I hear Mish Williams is even worse.”

Natalie smiled: “You might be right about my esteemed colleague, but I assure you, I have plenty of ‘bad attitude about newcomers’ for you in this fight, Ms. Bassinger.”

“Well, then you just bring it on. This is one ‘newcomer’ who won’t just being punching bag for you HISC bullies!” Brec said hotly.

“We are not bullies, we just expose you to realities about your talents you do not care to admit. Dove did it in March. I will do it in September—you are headed for a painful experience!” Natalie said with cold menace.

“And so are you!” Brec snapped and stalked off the stage.

Natalie turned to the press and smiled sweetly: “These kids just can’t take it. See you all after I’ve given her the firm thrashing she deserves.”

The hostility swirling between Brec Bassinger and Natalie Portman made interest in the fight rise rapidly as Fight Night drew near. Brec entered the ring in a revealing one piece black swimsuit with white gloves and boots with black laces. Her hair was pulled back in a blonde ponytail. Natalie in a red one piece swimsuit with yellow gloves and boots with red laces. Bobbed brunette hair loose, but wetted down. Tense showdown as Natalie gives Brec an icy glare and Brec just grins defiantly at her. Referee has to be firm with the fighters to get through the ring instructions. Curt glove tap and the two march to their corners. Then the bell rings…

R1: Brec and Natalie circle each other at center ring. Initial punches look to be feeling out probes. Then Brec strikes first. She makes a well-executed feint at Natalie’s face, but strikes hard at her waistline. Rapid-fire hooks put Natty on her heels, bent over and gasping for air. Then Brec smacks a right uppercut off Natalie’s chin and a left that cracks off her ja. Natalie pulling away to reset and using jab to try to hold Brec off. Brec looking very mobile as circles and punches away at a beleaguered veteran. Brec seems to ignore Natalie’s jabs as she hounds the brunette to the bell. Easily won round for young Bassinger.

R2: Natalie now very aggressive as the second round begin. She is out quickly and starts pounding away at Brec to the body. Brec getting worked over to the rib cage, breasts and stomach. Brec digging in and going right back at Natalie. Intense action from both fighters they thwack away each other’s quivering torsos. Brec continues to resist for some time, but Natalie’s power too much and Brec slowly backs away, still punching, but looking pained. Bell sounds and Natalie steps back. Brec looking shell shocked stands there for a moment as Natalie takes in the sight. Natalie then turns on her heel and walks away. Brec now looks annoyed, but she a bit wobbly getting back to her own stool.

R3: Brec trying to come forward to pressure Natalie, but Natty coolly holding Brec off with sustained jabs that are shining up the young blonde’s face. Brec offensive wilts as the jabs are too much for her to ignore and she falls back with her face all swollen with reddening bruises. Natalie now moves forward and she shifts her attention to deep, digging hooks that carve up Brec’s abs and make her ribs sting with bruising. Brec’s high guard starts to falter as she needs to protect her aching torso. Natalie then lashes out with right/left off Brec’s jaw and a well-placed right uppercut to the chin. Brec staggers and Natalie swiftly sends more rights and lefts slamming into Brec’s head making it swivel from the impacts. DOWN GOES BREC! Brec falls onto her butt and sits there with a bombed out look on her face. Natalie leers down at the young fighter and then moves quickly to the neutral corner. Brec able to pick herself up and beat the count at “EIGHT!” Natalie is waved back in, but Brec now just covers up and gives no opportunities for Natalie to finish her off before the bell rings. Brec downcast and aching, trudges back to her corner as Natalie all but chuckles gleeful at the damage she has wrought on the young boxer. Round, of course, goes easily to Natalie Portman.

R4: If Natalie Portman was expecting to finish off a wounded Brec Bassinger in this round, she gets rude awakening. Brec zips out of corner at the bell and heads straight for Natalie. Natalie finds herself being smashed hard to the body. Brec pouring fast leather into Natalie’s belly, bending her forward and then Brec starts banging away at the sides of Natty’s head. Natalie hastily pulls back and regroups. When Brec catches up with her, they get into a full-on body busting battle. Natalie trying to push Brec back, but young blonde hangs in there and gives it right back to Natalie’s body. Natalie starting to breathe hard and she is obliged to back up as Brec maintains pressure to the bell. It’s a tightly fought round, but the judges give it to Brec Bassinger close.

R5: Natalie seems determined to avoid another battle of attrition to the body as the new round begins. She’ working to keep Brec at a distance, but whacking her steadily to the head and then jabbing to the face when Brec attempts to close on her. Natalie doing a good job at frustrating Brec’s efforts to get close. Brec very stubborn in coming forward, but mostly just getting her a fresh set of bruises to her face. Natalie wins round by a comfortable margin but Natalie’s smirk is met by a defiant glare from Brec before they go to their corners after the bell.

R6: Brec again storing out of her corner at the bell and racing to catch an unsuspecting Natalie before she can clear her own corner. BAM! BAM! Right/left crak off Natalie’s jaw. The right/left uppercuts smack home under the veteran brunette’s chin. Natalie goes lurching back into her own corner and finds herself pinned against the turn buckle while a frenzied Brec pours the punches into her. Natalie finally wraps Brec up in a bearhug of a clinch. This buys Natalie a brief respite, but Brec goes right back at her. Natalie manages to escape her own corner, but is sliding along the ropes with Brec slamming away. Natalie finally just burying her face in her gloves as Brec slashes away at Natalie’s trembling torso. Long ordeal of a round for Natalie Portman who only finds relief when the bell sounds. Natalie sagging wearily against ropes as Brec gives her a fierce glare before stomping off to her corner. Natalie looking bewildered at being shutout this round by Brec—she thought she had finally tamed the youngster, but reality and her throbbing body tell a different tale.

R7: HISC orner crew works desperately to get Natalie ready for the coming round, but as the bell sounds, Natalie looks unsteady as she rises from her stool. Natalie moving slowly, trying to protect her head, but the guard proves weak. Brec is immediately able to drive straight shots between the mitts and bloody Ntalie’s nose. Then Brec clips Natalie’s chin and Natalie has ground to a dazed halt. Brec attacks to the belly to tip Natalie forward and then brings more crashing uppercuts into Portman chin. NATALIE’S LIGHTS GO OUT! Veteran falls to her knees and then pitches forward onto her face, NATALIE PORTMAN IS DOWN!

Huge bright smile of Brec Bassinger’s face as she practically skips to the neutral corner adn watches eagerly as the referee stands over the wreckage of Natalie Portman counting. Natali does stir, but she is much to slow as she tries to rise. She is on her knees trying to force them to work as the referee is calling out:

“SEVEN!...EIGHT!...NINE!...TEN!...YER OUT!”

BREC BASSINGER DEFEATS NATALIE PORTMAN KO7!

After: Brec gives a war whoop and leaps into the air in triumph. She rushes around the ring waving to fans and then goes to her corner where Ashley Benson, Janel Parish and Sasha Piterse are on hand to congratulate her. Meanwhile, Natalie has been assisted to her corner where medical staff examine her. Lead doctor says Natalie is fine. Which is immediately noticed by Brec Bassinger who walks quickly across the ring.

“Well, Ms Big Shot, Hall of Fame Veteran—time you paid for trying to put me down!” Brec announces.

Natalie just looks up sullenly, but there is a flicker of concern too. Brec sees this flicker and leans forward to whisper in her ear:

“I always thought it was the neatest thing when Sarah Michelle Gellar shaved your head bald—but don’t worry, I’ll be nicer than that!”

Brec then pulls Natalie to her feet and puts her right arm behind her back in a hammerlock. Natalie looks outraged.

“You don’t need to twist my arm—I’ll come with you!” Natalie complains.

“But it will make for better pictures if I am shown to be dominating you after the fight. Now MOVE IT!” Brec commands.

Brec and Natli then go around the ring, stopping often for photos as Brec grins in triumph and Natalie sulks in defeat. Brec clearly enjoying her triumph over the legendary fighter. Natalie. On the other hand, is looking increasingly distressed at this humiliation. Finally, they get back to the HISC corner. Brec shoves Natalie into the arms of Natalie’s HISC stablemate Michelle Williams who has climbed into the ring.

“You are going to regret this, Brec,” Mish hisses, “HISC does not forget and neither do I?”

“That a challenge?” Brec inquires.

“Yes!” snaps Mish.

“Then, I will think about it, I expect to getting a lot of attention r this fight. I’ll see if I can fit you in.” Brec replies with smirk and then walks away.

Michelle scowling at this cavalier treatment mutters darkly: “She’s gonna pay for this!”

The fight must be rated as big upset for Brec Bassinger. True that Natalie Portman isn’t getting any younger, but she a proven champion and for young Brec to KO her makes the win all the more impressive. Or was it a fluke? Lucky punch? Portman got careless? Brec’s not really that good (after all, Dive Cameron beat her). All these memes are being spread by HISC PR machine and some might even prove true. But for now Brec Bassinger can savor the biggest win of her career to date while Natalie Portman licks her wounds. What will happen next? Michelle Williams clearly wants to uphold the honor of the HISC organization (not to mention the pleasure of picking off another “hot” rising star). Will, Brec and the PLP accept the challenge or make Mish and the HISC wait? We’ll just have to wait and see.
