Wrestling with equality (for Caroline)

Steven was getting out-wrestled by both wrestlers, he saw Caroline a little confused on what to do as she turned to Kayura for advice meanwhile Steven was put into a sharpshooter by Sion. The teenwrestler clenched his teeth and shook his head while moaning out in pain. He wanted to endure the pain a little bit, trying to press his forearms into the ring mats and crawl forward but Sions weight had him pinned down well.

Jesse looked concerned at the predicament that Steven was in. She knew that the move that he was experiencing right now wasn't one that would feel good to be on the receiving end of and she had a feeling that Sion wouldn't let go until either Steven gave up or passed out. She felt like saying something but wasn't sure what to do. She wanted to be encouraging for him, but given what she knew it was something that could break him if he was in it too long.

While Kei wasn't completely convinced that this could be the end, she wasn't sure how Steven could get out of it. Given how Daisuke and Sion worked together to put him in this situation some something drastic and/or unexpected would have to happen in order for things to continue. Even something happened and he would survive the current hold who knows how little time it will take for things go back downhill for him. Still, she remained quiet and watched to see what would happen.

As for Lina, she grinned when she saw what was happening to Steven. Though she was wanting to see more of Caroline she wouldn't not object if things suddenly came to an end.

Caroline looked away from Kayura, staring out at the messy situation as it unfolded. “This whole spar was for me to train. Poor Steven just offered to help out, and now he's suffering,” she said, feeling guilty as Steven's groans of pain reached her ears. Balling her hands up into fists that trembled with energy, Caroline looked at Kayura again. “I've gotta help him.”

At first, Caroline stayed quiet. She ducked between the ring ropes and entered without making a sound, but after that, her interest in stealth disappeared. “Sorry, Sion!” Caroline shouted in advance, as she charged full speed at the two wrestlers and went airborne, aiming an energetic dropkick at the top of the blurry, barely visible mass. Steven was down near the ground, so even though she couldn't see too well, she knew Sion would take the heavy hit to his chest or head if he didn't flee in time.

Either way, she hoped that her diversion would buy Steven the opportunity he needed. As for Caroline herself, she wasn't ready to leave the ring just yet. She hoisted herself back up and charged further into the enemy's corner, aiming a forearm at Daisuke to knock her off the ring. Finally, she would retreat to her own corner, ducking back out of the ring and extending an arm so Steven could tag her in for real. This spar had been Caroline's idea, so if anyone was going to get the worst of it, she wanted it to be her.

"Mngh god damnit, this isnt fair is it Ow Ow Ow" Steven moaned as he struggled to cope up with both opponents. He didn't anticipate the spar to be this competitive and heated, something must be up which he didn't know about. Things looked bad for the teenwrestler, until his partner decided to rush in and take matters in her own hand.

Steven was about to tap, his hand was raised up but before it came down to signal the tap out, Caroline rushed in and began to take out both Daisuke and Sion to help out Steven.

With how the ring was Sion could clearly hear Caroline moving. Ring flooring usually isn't 100% quiet and even though the steps weren't loud they loud enough that Sion heard something. He didn't think she'd do anything though he also made eye contact with her. It didn't seem to phase her as she still went at him. Before he could let go fully he did take the dropkick in the chest and fell back.

Neither Daisuke nor Lina liked what Caroline just pulled, though Lina was impressed with Caroline's ability to think. Though she felt Caroline should soon experience what it feels like when things like that work against you. She had an idea of what she might do to Caroline if she got in there, though it be a matter of what Steven did as he wouldn't have a lot of time as while the dropkick took Sion down it wasn't something that would keep him down for very long.

Caroline knew her situation was a little dangerous, so after checking to make sure that Sion was down, she ran toward her corner, going as far as to ram into it by accident. She grunted a little, blushing with embarrassment, but exited the ring no less determined to get back in and resume the fight. She wasn't aware of her surroundings and didn't know how people were reacting to her devious ploy. Hopefully they would at least respect her desire to return to the front line.

“Come on, Steven! Hurry!” Caroline yelped, stretching her arm out as far as she could.

Certainly the heroics of his partner seemed to have saved the day for the teenwrestler, but the match was still not won but it wasn't lost either. After Steven felt that he wasn't being tortured anymore, he looked up a bit to see his partner already making her way back towards the corner, bumping into the turnbuckle which made him chuckle just a bit.

Steven always liked to see the lighter side of things, despite being in bad conditions. He dragged himself forward, his eyes fixed on his partners hands and when he got close enough he would do a short leap and tag her in.

Caroline's heart started racing as Steven closed the distance and finally tagged her back in. “Rest up, Steven,” she said softly, smiling at him before she ducked under the top rope to make her way back into the ring. Whether or not he actually got another chance to fight in this match, he deserved a breather after fighting this happy couple by himself.

Several moments had passed for Sion to recover from the dropkick he'd suffered, so Caroline decided not to go on the offensive immediately. She needed to fight smart to hold her own against these two. Deciding on a strategy, Caroline waited for Sion to get up and raised one of her arms, fingers outstretched.

“How about one of these?” Caroline said, her tone very chipper and eager. She wanted to bait Sion into a test of strength. She had a plan to fake him out as soon as he interlocked fingers with her, but he would need to accept the test of strength for this to work, and he was experienced enough that he might use the test of strength to his own advantage before she could.

Sion saw what Caroline was looking for, though before he moved in, which he felt pretty confident in it, he saw Lina gesturing towards him.  He would move in, but have the position where he is in front of her and Caroline's back was close to the ropes.  Not touching, but close enough so Lina can reach in and grab hold of one of Caroline's legs.

Daisuke watched on and had a feeling of what was about to go down, as did Sion.  While the practice for them was good they knew it was mostly for Caroline, and it looked like Lina was about to show her how rough things could be in there...more like have them show her.  Assuming the distraction went off as Lina intended to, Lina Sion would grab hold of Caroline and take her back into the corner.  Sion felt a little bit bad for what would be about to come, but he knew there was a purpose here and Lina gave him a re-assuring nod that everyone would be alright.  He would tag Daisuke back in and the couple would begin to double team her in the corner.  Lina was tempted to get up there as well, but she knew her time would come.  Hopefully this wouldn't completely break her spirit.  As Daisuke and Sion were in the ring and let up on their attack so Sion could leave the ring Lina tells Caroline so only she can hear "You're about to get a lesson in tough love, hope you don't take it the wrong way." As she finished talking Daisuke would be back on Caroline, but would keep her in the corner for now and climb up before striking her ten times.

“Wha...hey!” Caroline yelled when she felt someone grabbing her ankle from outside the ring. She couldn't see who it was, and definitely didn't suspect her own manager, but she wasn't going to let it go unpunished. She swiveled around and tried to stomp on the invading limb, but Sion took advantage and grabbed her too quickly. She resisted Sion at every step, growling angrily and kneeing him in the gut as he dragged her back into enemy territory. It wasn't enough, and Sion tossed her into his corner before tagging Daisuke. The insidious couple both struck her to keep her in the corner, and as Daisuke entered the ring, Caroline heard Lina of all people taunting her. Caroline was about as sweet as girls came, but right now, she was angry enough to do something she might regret later.

“I can handle tough love. Can you?!” as she ended the sentence, her left leg was already in motion, aiming at the source of the noise to hopefully bop Lina on the head before she could move back. It wasn't a very harsh kick, and it would allow Daisuke the opportunity to climb the corner Caroline was trapped in, blocking her escape to rain punches down on her. The strikes were brutal: the first hit her cheek, another struck her left eye, and two more hit her forehead. The fifth was the worst, nailing Caroline on the mouth with enough force to split her lip open and draw blood.

A girlish yelp would ring out with each strike, but despite how she sounded, Caroline wasn't helpless. She caught the sixth punch, and with her other hand pressing hard into Daisuke's stomach, Caroline pushed off of the corner with all her might, looking to send Daisuke falling down to the canvas below. After that, Caroline would try to escape the corner before Sion or Lina could grab her, and by “accident”, she even tried to stomp on Daisuke's body as she fled to the center of the ring.
