Fight Me!
Episode 1 – I Died. But Why Is There a Bra?
The last thing Axel Blaze remembered was the sharp pain in his back.
Axel
*Blood oozed between his fingers as he collapsed onto the rough, bloodstained pavement of the street arena.*
？？？
*Breathing heavily, stood behind him with a hidden blade now stained red.*
Screams erupted from the crowd, but none moved forward to help.
Axel
*Barely lift his head, vision fading, yet his voice remained strong.*
Axel
I didn’t die because I lost *muttered through clenched teeth.*
Axel
I died ‘cause someone played dirty.
Everything smelled like jasmine.
His body was sinking into a soft, pink bed.
Sophia(Axel)
*eyes scanned the room*
Walls covered in K-pop posters, stuffed teddy bears lined up neatly along the shelves, and curtains tied with pink ribbons.
Sophia(Axel)
*fingers gripped the baby-soft sheets beneath him*
Sophia(Axel)
What… the hell is this?
Sophia(Axel)
*shot up from bed, heart racing*
Sophia(Axel)
This ain’t my place!
A strange heaviness on his chest made him pause.
Sophia(Axel)
*brought both hands up*
Sophia(Axel)
WHAT THE HELL?! *scream shattered the quiet morning air*
His arms trembled as he tried to make sense of the nightmare.
Sophia(Axel)
*stumbled across the fluffy carpet toward the full-length mirror*
Sophia(Axel)
*tugged off the shirt, searching frantically for the scars and bruises from the last fight*
Nothing. Just flawless, pale skin.
Sophia(Axel)
*jaw clenched* No. No. No.
Just as he reached to poke his own chest again, the door swung open with a loud bang.
Sophia(Axel)
AHH! *scrambled to grab the shirt again*
mother
*stood at the doorway, eyes wide*
mother
*screamed and shut the door with a bang*
From outside, her voice rang in panic.
mother
SOPHIA?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Axel froze.Sweat trickled down his temple.
Sophia(Axel)
NOTHING, MOM! I JUST—SWEATING! WORKOUT!
Sophia(Axel)
*sat in front of the mirror again*
Sophia(Axel)
What the hell is happening? *whispered*
Sophia(Axel)
*stared with innocent confusion*
Sophia(Axel)
My brain’s a guy, but this body... teen girl.
Sophia(Axel)
I’m a fighter in Barbie’s shell?
Sophia(Axel)
*shook head slowly, lost in the madness*
Sophia(Axel)
*slapped his cheek* Ouch.
He knocked on his forehead. Still pain.
Twisting left, then right, he examined himself suspiciously.
Sophia(Axel)
*pulled hard on one cheek*
Sophia(Axel)
Real. *muttered*
Sophia(Axel)
This isn’t a dream.
He stared at the bra like it was a bomb to defuse. Slipping one leg into it, he scowled and tried again. Wrong hole. Wrong strap.
Sophia(Axel)
Who invented this thing? Is this torture?!
After a 10-minute battle, he finally got it on, even though it felt like a trap.
The school uniform hugged his body awkwardly. Sweet, neat, and way too tight.
He left the house with his hands in his pockets, walking like he ruled the street.
His steps had that fighter swagger. His glare was sharp.
Students whispered and turned to look.
? ? ?
Did Sophia just… change batteries?
? ? ?
She used to walk with her head down. Today, she moved like a boss.
At a narrow corridor in school, a boy bumped into him.
Damon. Tall, calm, and curious.
Damon
You okay? *squinting*
Sophia(Axel)
*stared him down*
Sophia(Axel)
Wanna spar? My fists are getting itchy.
Damon blinked, then laughed nervously. He didn’t know whether to take it as a joke or a threat.
Sophia(Axel)
*kicked open the classroom door, dragging his shoulder along the edge of a desk*
Sophia(Axel)
*He dropped into the seat with his legs up, arms folded*
Sophia(Axel)
*raised an eyebrow* Wanna teach manners? I can teach you how to take a punch first.
Sophia(Axel)
*raised a hand* Here! I mean—yeah, here. Sophia.
A few classmates giggled.
Sophia(Axel)
*scratched his head awkwardly*
Sophia(Axel)
Gotta learn to cover better. *told himself*
Three girls came up to his desk. Faces smug, eyes full of judgment.
Sophia(Axel)
They must’ve known the old Sophia.
Sophia(Axel)
They didn’t know this Sophia.
Sophia(Axel)
*stood up, cracking his knuckles* Wanna test your luck?
They took a step back, confused by the fire in his eyes.
When one of them scoffed, Axel slammed his fist on the table.
Across the room, a shy boy with a sketchbook stared in awe.
Finn
Is it just me, *whispered* or is Sophia… kinda cool?
Alone again, Axel stared down at his hands.
Sophia(Axel)
This body was weak. Thin arms. Small hands. Not made for fighting.
But the fire inside him was alive.
Sophia(Axel)
If I wanna survive here… I need to train this body.
Sophia(Axel)
*clenched his fists* Fighters don’t kneel.
Lunchtime was another war.
He tried using chopsticks but kept dropping rice.
Sophia(Axel)
*grunted in frustration, then dug in with his hands*
Other students looked on, horrified.
Sophia(Axel)
“Seriously,” *muttered* what’s with the sticks? Just use your damn hands!
Later, in the bathroom, he stared into the mirror again.
Sophia(Axel)
Cute face. Soft skin.
Sophia(Axel)
*looked himself in the eye*
Sophia(Axel)
You may be pretty… but I’m a fighter.
Sophia(Axel)
*pressed a hand to his chest and smirked*
Sophia(Axel)
Starting today, we’re a skirt-wearing punch machine.
At night, he was on the bed—doing one-handed push-ups.
His arms trembled, but he didn’t stop.
From the door, his mom peeked in.
mother
Sophia… are you studying or going to war?
Axel didn’t answer. He kept going.
That night, the dream came.
A voice echoed in his mind.
?
This body isn’t yours. But fate has changed.
Flashes of unknown faces. Shadows.
?
You must prepare, Sophia.
Sophia(Axel)
*jolted awake, drenched in sweat*
Morning light broke through the curtains.
Axel stood in front of the mirror once more.
Sophia(Axel)
*hand on hip, brows raised*
Sophia(Axel)
Doesn’t matter who I am. *smirked*
Sophia(Axel)
But one thing’s for sure—I'm gonna conquer this damn school.
Episode 2 – This Doesn’t Make Sense
Axel stood on a chair in the middle of Sophia’s pink, overly floral room and screamed at the top of his lungs.
Sophia(Axel)
If this is a dream, WAKE ME UP!
No response. Just the soft bounce of Sophia’s body reminding him—this wasn’t his.
Sophia(Axel)
*slapped his cheeks* Ow! Okay, that hurt.
Sophia(Axel)
*stared at himself in the mirror* This can’t be real. I have to find a way out of this body.
In desperation, Axel grabbed an eyeliner pencil and began sketching strange symbols onto the floor. They were a mash of what he vaguely remembered from horror movies and internet conspiracy forums.
Sitting in the center of the circle, he closed his eyes and chanted.
Sophia(Axel)
Exit the body, Sophia. Return to your... uh, vessel! Let Axel go back!
The bedroom door creaked open.
mother
What on earth are you doing?! *stood in the doorway, horrified*
mother
Are you... joining a cult?!
Sophia(Axel)
*jolted, tossing the eyeliner behind*
Sophia(Axel)
No, no! This is science! A... uh... body-mind disassociation experiment!
mother
*closed the door slowly* My daughter has lost her mind…
Sophia(Axel)
*huffed* No, your daughter’s body just got hijacked by a street fighter. Totally normal.
Later that day, Axel climbed to the roof of the school building. He looked down at the field below.
Sophia(Axel)
Maybe if I jump, I’ll wake up in my own body... classic movie logic.
Just as he prepared himself, a voice called from below.
Ann
Sophia! Get down! You’ve got History class!
Sophia(Axel)
*blinked in disbelief* Seriously? Not even five minutes of privacy in this school?
He sighed, gave up on the leap of faith, and trudged back down the stairs, shoulders slumped.
In the bathroom, Axel let loose a frustrated scream and kicked the mirror. The glass cracked—and so did his foot.
Sophia(Axel)
OWWW! *hopped around in pain, clutching his injured leg*
Sophia(Axel)
Okay, so Barbie bodies aren’t made for combat.
Sophia(Axel)
*collapsed to the floor, sulking* There has to be another way.
Determined to at least blend in, attempted to walk, "like a girl."
That meant keeping his knees close, arms soft. But muscle memory betrayed him. His legs spread wide, hands shoved into the skirt pockets like a thug.
Ann
You’re walking like... a truck driver.
Axel tried again—failed again.
Sophia(Axel)
Why is this so hard?!
Students began to stare. He gave up trying to walk cute.
In the hallway, he tried again to speak in a “girl voice.” He cleared his throat and cooed
Sophia(Axel)
Hiiiii, I’m Sophia~
It came out like a goat gargling rocks.
? ? ?
Sophia... are you choking?
Sophia(Axel)
*coughed and waved* Nope! Just testing vocal elasticity!
He needed practice. Desperately.
One quiet afternoon, Axel sat alone, lost in thought—until a voice whispered inside his mind.
?
Please... don’t embarrass me anymore…
Sophia(Axel)
*jumped* WHO SAID THAT?!
Sophia(Axel)
*heart pounded* Was that... her?
Sophia(Axel)
*spoke inside his mind* Uh... Sophia? Are you still in here?
?
This is my body... even if you're borrowing it.
Sophia(Axel)
*froze* Are we... brain roommates now?
Sophia(Axel)
*groaned* Great. One more problem to deal with.
?
I can see everything... but I can’t move. It’s like I’m trapped in a dream.
Sophia(Axel)
*winced* You’re telling me. I’m trapped in a pastel prison.
Sophia(Axel)
Is this really happening?
Sophia(Axel)
If it’s a dream, it’s the weirdest one I’ve ever had.
The silence between them lingered—until Sophia whispered.
?
I used to be ashamed of myself... but now I feel even more ashamed... because of what you’re doing.
Sophia(Axel)
Ugh... Sorry, alright? *muttered* I’m trying to adjust.
He sat still, guilt washing over him. Maybe... maybe this wasn’t just about him anymore.
He made a promise to himself.
Sophia(Axel)
I’ll try not to ruin your life. Promise.
Later that day, Axel let off steam by punching a tree behind the school building.
Damon, a boy from his class, walked past and raised an eyebrow.
Damon
Why are you assaulting nature?
Sophia(Axel)
*huffed* Because it's staring at me funny.
Damon
*laughed* You’re kinda cool, Sophia. In a weird way.
Sophia(Axel)
*blinked* Did... did he just flirt with me?
The day got worse. Out of habit, Axel wandered into the boys’ restroom.
A collective gasp echoed.
Sophia(Axel)
*realizing his mistake and gasped* WRONG FILE! WRONG FILE!
He bolted out, face redder than the school fire alarm.
Then came Zayne—the classic bully—cornering him.
Zayne
Still soft, princess?
Sophia(Axel)
*narrowed his eyes* Wanna see how soft my fists are?
Zayne took a step back. He wasn’t expecting that tone—or that glare.
He left without another word.
It didn’t stop there. Behind the science lab, Axel faced three guys at once.
Sophia(Axel)
This is what I get for being in a romcom anime body. *muttered*
But Axel fought like he always did—with grit and fury. Within minutes, the boys were on the ground or running for cover.
He stood victorious, skirt flowing in the wind like a battle flag.
?
You’re... amazing. I never fought back before.
Sophia(Axel)
*smirked* That’s what fighters do.
It was the first time Sophia felt someone had stood up for her.
From a distance, Mr. Liam, one of the teachers, stared.
He watched Sophia tie her hair back with a pen, her feet up on the desk like a rebel queen.
Mr. Liam
When did she become... this?
Sophia(Axel)
*scribbled something in a notebook* Sophia. Possible... spiritual possession?
During class, Axel barked passionately about British colonialism.
Sophia(Axel)
They never cared! They just wanted to exploit the local economy!
Mr. Liam
*blinked* Sophia... are you okay?
Sophia(Axel)
*cleared his throat* I-I mean... the economy was a key motive, sir... very... important…
The teacher opened Sophia’s student file and muttered.
Mr. Liam
Hysteria Level IV. Ongoing surveillance required.
At night, Sophia and Axel began speaking more comfortably in their shared mind.
?
Why do you always fight?
Sophia(Axel)
Why did you always let them bully you?
?
*paused* Because I didn’t know how to fight back.
Sophia(Axel)
Then I’ll teach you. But you follow my tempo.
?
*smiled quietly inside* You’re rough... but honest.
Sophia(Axel)
I won’t make you a hero overnight. But I promise—no one will hurt you again.
Soon, videos of Sophia acting... not Sophia started spreading.
Clips of her sitting like a dude, speaking in a deep voice, walking like she owned the hallway.
One TikTok caption read: “Sophia.exe has crashed 💀”
Sophia(Axel)
*watched it blankly* Two days in and I’m already a national meme.
?
*panicked* I wanna disappear... I can’t show my face again…
Sophia(Axel)
Relax. *cool*
Sophia(Axel)
Let’s use this. We’ll turn this image into strength.
He was planning something.
Later, he stood in front of the mirror. Staring at the reflection of a girl he didn’t know—but had to protect.
Sophia(Axel)
This isn’t where I belong. But as long as I’m here…
Sophia listened in silence from the back of her own mind.
Sophia(Axel)
I swear... no one’s gonna humiliate you again.
?
*soft whisper* Thank you... Axel.
He smirked. Not cocky—just determined.
Sophia(Axel)
When we rise again, it won’t be as victims. We’ll rise as rulers.
Episode 3 – The Most Violent Lunch Ever
Axel walked through the school gates like he owned the place.
Her strides were wide and purposeful, reminiscent of a main character in an anime.
One hand rested casually in the pocket of her skirt, her head held high.
She didn’t glance at anyone. The hallway parted before her like the sea, students automatically moving aside.
? ? ?
Did you see that? She’s totally changed...
Sophia(Axel)
*smirked* This is just the intro.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed the murmurs turning into stares—some shocked, others confused. Most of them were directed at Sophia.
? ? ?
Since when did Sophia walk like a Thai gangster?
? ? ?
She looked at me like she was ready to crush me!
One guy rubbed the back of his neck, clearly unsettled.
Axel heard every word, but he kept walking, calm and undisturbed.
Sophia(Axel)
Talking behind backs? How kindergarten of them.
The moment she entered the cafeteria, three familiar faces blocked her way—Macy, Lila, and Zura. The school’s self-declared queens.
Macy
*tilted her head with a plastic smile* Wow, Sophia. Your skirt okay? Looks like it’s been through some kind of war.
Lila
*giggled* Are you walking or stomping the runway with bricks on your feet?
Sophia(Axel)
*met their eyes, calm and steady*At least I walk on my own feet… not in someone else’s shadow.
Zura
*blinked* Wait—did she just talk back?
She didn’t smile. Her stare was cold, razor-sharp.
Sophia(Axel)
I’m fine. *cool* But my hands… they’re itching for some training.
Lila
*smile wavered* T-Training what…?
Sophia(Axel)
*stepped in closer* Training my fists... on your face.
A moment of hesitation flickered among them. They actually took a step back.
Zura
*suddenly rammed her shoulder against Sophia. Hard*
Lila
Oh, sorry. *chimed* Slipped.
Axel slowly looked down at the point of contact, then back up with a raised brow.
Sophia(Axel)
Slipped just your shoulder? Want me to help you fall properly?
Zura’s smirk faltered, and she backed away slightly, caught off guard by the sharp comeback.
Sophia(Axel)
Back in my day, *thought* if someone bumped into me like that, I’d punch first.”
Sophia(Axel)
*glanced down at the skirt* Too tight for a proper swing now...
Sophia(Axel)
*flexed fingers slightly, testing*
Sophia(Axel)
Fine. Let’s improvise.
She turned her head slightly and whispered to herself:
Sophia(Axel)
New strategy—sarcastic smiles. Sophia level.
But Zura wasn’t done. She reached from behind, trying to snatch Sophia's bag.
Sophia(Axel)
*spun around and jabbed her elbow straight into Zura’s chest*
Zura
*collapsed to the floor, gasping*
The entire cafeteria went silent.
Sophia(Axel)
First warning. Don’t touch my stuff.
Sophia(Axel)
*picked up a nugget from her tray and calmly took a bite*
Macy
*stepped forward, face flushed with rage, about to say something*
Sophia(Axel)
*held up a hand with a silent* Shhh
Sophia(Axel)
I’m having lunch. Don’t interrupt me when I’m eating.
Lila
*instinctively pulled Macy’s arm* She’s threatening people while chewing nuggets. That’s... powerful.
Macy
*lunged from behind for Sophia's hair*
Axel felt it—just in time. She spun on her heel and delivered a brutal uppercut to Macy’s jaw.
Macy
*stumbled back three steps, dazed*
Sophia(Axel)
You just slapped me, with a Princess Disney hand?
Screams echoed across the cafeteria.
? ? ?
SOPHIA JUST KNOCKED MACY OUT!
Phones were instantly pulled out. Recordings began.
Sophia(Axel)
Someone tag me, *muttered* Username: @princessuppercut.
Right then, a teacher stormed into the cafeteria with a thunderous face. His eyes locked on Macy holding her jaw… then on Axel, still munching fries.
Ann
*paused, blinked, sighed, and turned around* I don’t get paid enough for this.
In the corner, Damon had been watching the entire scene unfold.
Damon
*closed his book with a faint smile* Sophia… who are you?
Even as he pretended to read, his gaze never left her.
Damon
She used to be shy… now she’s like an action movie heroine.
Elsewhere, Liam stared at Sophia sitting on the table with her legs crossed.
Mr. Liam
Something’s… different about her. *muttered*
Sophia(Axel)
*turned and shot him a piercing look*
Mr. Liam
I-I like the new you. *stammered*
Sophia(Axel)
*tilted her head with a crooked smile* I like it too… scaring people.
?
I’ve never done anything like this before…
Sophia(Axel)
*calmly* No more silence. You’re not a puppet.
Sophia(Axel)
It’s okay. I’m behind the wheel now.
That day, the school gave her a new title.
“Princess Punch.”
“The Uppercut Queen.”
“The Cafeteria Brawler.”
Someone made memes. Others shared videos in the school group chat.
Sophia(Axel)
*scrolled through the posts and laughed* Okay… that’s actually funny.
Suddenly, people started treating her differently.
?
*rushed to open the door* After you, Sophia.
Girls waved at her, inviting her to sit with them.
? ? ?
Come eat with us, you’re so cool!
Sophia(Axel)
*shrugged* As long as no one steals my nuggets.
But alone with her thoughts, she was still confused.
Sophia(Axel)
Since when did punching someone make you popular?
Sophia(Axel)
Back in my day, you’d get arrested for this.
She saw someone take her photo from across the room.
Sophia(Axel)
This generation is weird. But I love their nuggets.
And for the first time in a long time, Sophia’s thoughts weren’t filled with fear.
?
Maybe… I don’t have to be weak.
?
Maybe I can start living.
Sophia(Axel)
*grin* Welcome to the next level.
?
I want to be brave… like you. *whispered*
Later that afternoon, Axel stood in front of the mirror in the restroom.
She stared at her reflection and made a silent vow.
Sophia(Axel)
As long as I’m in this body… no one will ever touch her again.
Sophia(Axel)
*clenched her fist* This body… has a guardian now.
From somewhere deep inside, Sophia smiled.
As the sun dipped low and painted the sky in orange hues, Sophia sat alone on the rooftop.
Sophia(Axel)
*legs dangled over the edge, a nugget between fingers*
The wind was soft, brushing her hair like a quiet friend.
Their voices—Axel and Sophia—merged into one.
“If this is the new life… let’s make sure it’s never boring.”
