Twelve cars plus the engines were moved onto the immense platforms, both connected by an immense, thick bar of metal. The metal was a special one, one made by Sniffles to handle incredible amounts of strain, one that the scientist dubbed Splendium, after the superhero Splendid. Flaky looked around nervously, looking at herself in a nearby mirror, dressed in flexible, light-gray gym wear. Even the baggy clothing had trouble hiding just how large she was, her immense muscles stretching the fabric to its limits. Flaky looked at herself and her mind was racing with one question: was she really strong enough to pull this off? As she walked out of the room, she saw the immense trains to either side of her, the immense coal cars filled with dense, metal weights. Flaky took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves, especially since the whole town was watching her. She could see them all eagerly watching her as she made her way to the enormous bar, two smaller bars present for her to grab. With how close she was to the crowd, Flaky could see Lifty and Shifty out in the crowd now, waving furiously to get her attention, which caused her to grin despite her nervousness. As she grabbed the bar, she took as deep a breath as she could, and heaved.

At first the bar simply refused to budge, causing Flaky to grit her teeth and pull harder. Immediately, the fabric of her clothes began to stretch and strain while holding her gigantic muscles, not helped by the increasing amount of effort Flaky was putting into trying to lift the makeshift barbell. As the seconds passed, Flaky started to sweat, her muscles bulging from the increasing amount of blood pumping through them. Flaky let out a growl as she put more effort in, not wanting to let the makeshift barbell win. The barbell simply sat where it was, almost mocking her, causing her to put even more effort into proving it wrong. The porcupine’s red fur was now matted with sweat, her face blushing an even deeper shade of red as she pushed her muscles to their limits. With the train cars, the engines, and the massive weights within the cars, the barbell had to weigh at least twenty-thousand tons, perhaps even more, and yet the brave porcupine simply kept heaving. She could faintly hear the Lifty and Shifty cheering her on, along with the rest of the crowd, fueling her attempt. Eventually, Flaky could feel the barbell shifting, almost imperceptibly, but it was moving. With that realization done, Flaky pulled with all her might, letting out a loud, strained groan as the fabric of her gym wear stretched, and finally burst at the sleeves, revealing biceps even larger than her head! Flaky didn’t seem to care, keeping the pressure on until finally, without a shadow of a doubt, the immense barbell began to slowly rise. Flaky struggled and strained as the barbell rose at a glacial pace, the train cars creaking in protest. Flaky felt the bar pause for a moment as it got up to her knees, and again at her waist, but Flaky bravely pressed on, eager to complete the challenge. Finally, after an agonizing minute from when the bar first started to rise, the weights were at her chest, yet it felt as though she would faint at any moment from exhaustion, either that or pop a vein. Flaky grit her teeth together and let out a loud groan as she pushed with all her strength, veins pulsing across her cannonball biceps like anacondas, before finally, mercifully, with a triumphant roar, she thrust the colossal barbell over her head.

As Flaky painfully managed to set the barbell down without it crashing to the ground, she bent over, panting hard, desperately gasping for breath after the ordeal. As Flaky panted, she became aware of the roaring cheers of the crowd. As she finally got her breath back, she stood up, seeing the crowd hopping, waving, all cheering for her. Flaky’s face burst into a grin as she saw everyone there, all chanting her name. She brought both of her gigantic arms up to a flex, her enormous biceps bulging as the crowd went nuts. As she left the stage, Lifty and Shifty bolted over and embraced her. “What a show, Flakes!” Lifty said as he hopped up and down. “Yeah, you were amazing out there!” Shifty added, barely controlling his excitement. Flaky hugged them back gently. “Thanks, guys,” she whispered as her grin grew more sly, “maybe we could head back to your place after this is all over and have some fun?” Lifty and Shifty both blushed and enthusiastically jumped, “Yes, yes! Whatever you say!”
