Ryan and Lucy vs Daisuke and Lita. (For Maxy.)

Even if Ryan didn't bowl Daisuke over, the fact was he knocked her down. And it was coming from a 6 foot British powerhouse, Ryan was mostly simple when it came to his moves. That was how he fought in a nutshell, simple but effective. Yet Mr Knight liked to believe that just because something was simple didn't mean you couldn't refine it.

But now that the paragon of Britain had knocked Daisuke down, it meant that now he smelt blood. The situation had now been reversed, Ryan was going to size up his opponent. A steel gaze on his regal features, looking every bit like the dark aristocrat he seemed to be. With a loud grunt Ryan tried rush forth, to attempt a big boot aimed right at Daisuke's head.

It appeared that Daisuke guessed right as he ran right for her. Lina was about to call to Daisuke to look out when she could notice Ryan bringing his leg up when Daisuke bent backwards, like something out of the matrix. If she was able to avoid taking Ryan's foot with that 'move' she would go to make contact with Ryan's leg that is still on the mat, wanting to trip him up.

Lita knew there was nothing wrong with keeping it simple, but it didn't hurt to throw in something flashy every now and then.

Ryan liked to keep most things simple, from the way he fought in the ring right to his style of formal attire. In his mind it usually made things a bit easier, but this time that wasn't anywhere near the case for Britain's paragon.

Mr Knight's big boot had caught nothing but air, reminding him of a missed falcon kick in Smash Bros. Looks cool, but doesn't do it's intended purpose. If Ryan had connected with the attack then Daisuke would have most likely been knocked right back down on her arse.

And it also seemed that Daisuke was trying to make Ryan bust out into the splits, as she tried to attack the leg that Mr Knight didn't use for the big boot. The British aristocrat was tripped up, landing on his knees. Giving a slight wince in response to it, but Mr Knight wasn't going to take that lying down if he could help it. As Ryan made to rise up he'd suddenly try to deliver a knife chop with his nearest arm, he had to try and counter of course.

Daisuke saw Ryan getting up around the same time she did. She saw Ryan going for a chop with one of his arms. Daisuke motioned to block it before grabbing hold of the leg that she tripped up a moment ago. She dragged Ryan a little bit until Daisuke was within reaching range of Lita, snapping his leg up and down to get him to stop resisting if he was trying to fight it off. Lita reached over and tagged in as the two appeared to have the same idea for what might follow.

Assuming Dai was able to get him there, even if Ryan did show some resistance with Lita in it she would soon put a stop to that. Lita jumped in with a grin, remembering that Ryan and Lucy had doubled teamed on her recently and wanted to return the favour. They each grabbed one of his legs, telling the crowd to join in and make a wish as each lady would strongly snap back the leg that they were holding with a wishbone split. Daisuke left the ring after they used Ryan's legs as a human wishbone, but Lita quickly tagged her back in. They each grabbed a leg again, but this time they went to turn him over, applying two single leg crabs on him. Of course they could not hold it in for long as they had a five count to work with since technically only one of them could be in the ring at once so he was in the hold for maybe a couple of seconds at the most before Lita let go and went back to the corner. That second double team effort was just meant as something to get Daisuke back in but also for Lita to show Lucy they two can double team if need be.

Daisuke also let go of her crab at the same time Lita did and sized up Ryan as Lita left the ring. When Lita was back on the other side of the ropes he would make way for the same leg she controlled earlier, looking to apply and ankle lock.

Mr Knight liked to believe that he could handle most things in the ring, well so long as it was a straight up match. The paragon of Britain knew full well the kind of crazy things that happened in Tension and Friction, and in Japan in general. After all John claimed to have been ambushed by power rangers a while back.

But still even Ryan knew that perhaps he might be out of his depth, at least right now. Daisuke expertly countered him, although to be fair Mr Knight had just been tripped up. The paragon of Britain knew that a weak but experienced knife fighter could make sashimi out of a bigger guy who didn't know the first thing about how to fight.

However this analogy wasn't on Ryan's mind right now, as the young man was being dragged to the corner. And knew that nothing good was in store for him, in the tension tag finals he had been placed in the corner of the Ishii siblings. Although they made the mistake of having Ryan standing, where he promptly headbutted his way out of it. Here though Daisuke and Lita were clever, and wasting no time in making the paragon of Britain suffer.

Before Mr Knight could make any sort of attack they wishboned him, a fucking wishbone.....Upon the move being done Ryan could only groan and hold the upper parts of his legs, rolling over as he did so. The paragon of Britain was muttering harsh curse words at his opponents, only clearly they were not done yet.

John watched from afar, gritting his teeth in anger. He wanted to go down there, and start busting heads. He knew it was a match, but still seeing his boss and best mate hurt like that certainly angered the master of creation. But Mr Knight had given John explicit orders to not interfere with this match, and so John chose to remain where he was. He certainly didn't look happy though.

The attacks weren't over yet though for Britain's paragon, as he tried to move forward to hopefully get some distance. Daisuke and Lita were then upon again like a couple of harpies, cranking back on both of Mr Knight's lower limbs. Now that time Ryan released a yelp of pain, followed by a couple of groans. But regardless he pressed forward, his lower limbs were in pain. Yet the upper ones remained strong, and so he relied on those and his impressive strength to carry him across. Still though the combined weight of both opponents meant that Ryan wasn't going as far as he'd like, Lucy watched silently. Biting her lower lip, she knew that her Brother was going to be hurt from this. And that it might be time to get a tag in, that's even if Britain's paragon didn't tap out from this.

But Ryan had spent the better part of his life thus far in handling adversity and trails, and he wasn't going to submit. Not if he could help it, they'd have to break his limbs before he'd even consider doing that. And Ryan would still spit at them.

The fact of the matter was though that right now the paragon of the Union Jack was looking like a weakling, and he fucking detested it. He got as far as he could till Lita got off him, and the paragon of Britain was panting as he tried to lighten the pressure he placed on his now for the time being free lower limbs. "need to get up....need to get up....." the British aristocrat thought to himself like a mantra.

What happened now was a guessing game, and Ryan predicted that Daisuke would be on the legs at least. And sure enough she went for it, but Mr Knight wasn't going to lie down and take this. He hoped to at least get to a sort of vertical base before Daisuke moved in, if she grabbed his leg then Ryan would risk almost everything on the move he had in mind. Using his free leg to swiftly bash Daisuke in the side of her head with an Alberto Del Rio style kick. Sure Mr Knight was a 6 foot British guy, but he picked up a thing or two from Lucy. He needed to get free somehow, one move was all it took. Ryan just hoped this would pay off.......

Daisuke grabbed hold of his leg and was in the process of getting the ankle lock applied and began twisting the ankle as Ryan was trying to get back to his feet, or at least foot. Lita saw this and began to think to herself "This guy is either on some really strong PED, he's not from his planet or he's related to that guy from Rocky IV." Meanwhile Lina was telling Daisuke out loud, kind of referencing one of Lita's thoughts "He's not invincible, he's human just like you, stay on 'em!" trying to encourage Daisuke to keep on Ryan. Daisuke still had a hold of the ankle, applying what pressure she could thought it was becoming less direct pressure but more awkward pressure. She was surprised but tried not to show it visually, though she still took the side kick and did somewhat of a Flair style flop.

There was the joke/rumour that Mr Knight wasn't human, that he was actually a robot made by Britain's MI6 that went rogue. Ryan of course wasn't one to entertain silly things like that, after all he just did his job. Sometimes the amount of punishment that Britain's paragon took could certainly make one question his real origins, but that was how Ryan rolled. He was the leader and shield of the United Kingdom Elite, the man who was the first to wade into the chaos. The pain was significant, although Ryan took the fact that he was still in this.

His risky gambit paid off, Ryan swung his leg and Daisuke took it square on. The crowd made a resounding shout, with the paragon of Britain hitting the mat with a thud. Mr Knight didn't know it but a small smirk was on his lips, perhaps that was thanks to the way he countered. Daisuke's reaction was clear that she reeled from it, not every day that a big British guy lept up and swung his leg into the side of your head.

Lucy knew what needed to be done, her and Ryan had been up this kind of river before. And they usually swam up it paddle or no paddle, Ms Grange pounded the turnbuckle. Hopping up and down in place, eager to get in. "Get over here! Now dammit!" Lucy shouted, practically spitting as she did so.

The paragon of Britain didn't need to be told twice, he turned towards his Sister and started moving as quick as he could. His legs were still feeling hurt from the whammy he took, but Mr Knight still had his considerable upper body strength. It was just a matter of getting to Ms Grange in time, Lucy knew that now was their best chance. Ryan crawled forward to her as quick as he could.

Lita noticed that Ryan was looking to tag out and bring Lucy back in it. Lita felt that she was ok to go herself and got into position as Lina today Daisuke to make a tag herself. Since both Daisuke and Ryan were technically down the ref put one of those double down standing ten counts even though Ryan was mobile and trying to make a tag. It took Dai a few seconds for her to get her bearings straight but she hear Lina and didn't see the need to object to that and did as Ryan was doing, though she was able to get to her feet when as Lita was keeping one on on her and one on Ryan and Lucy.

More than likely it looked like Daisuke was able to make her tag first, but it didn't look like Lita would be able to stop Ryan from tagging out. Lita was looking forward to getting back in there and when their tag was made she hoped over the ropes to re-enter the ring.

Ryan had managed to counter Daisuke, that bought him the time he needed. Mr Knight would fight till he could no longer stand, but there was a fine line between bravery and foolishness. And trying to continue fighting when your Sister was fresher than you were was foolish, so with that in mind the paragon of Britain had managed to get to Lucy. Smacking her awaiting hand and allowing Britain's baby girl to enter the ring.

The cavalry had been sent in, the crowd was cheering as Ms Grange entered. Mr Knight rolled under the bottom rope, with Lucy leaping over the top. Ryan was just going to lie on the apron for a minute or so, to catch his breath of course. He wasn't beaten, just needed to take a moment. That's what Ryan would insist at least.

As if on cue John was walking down the entrance ramp, the artist had seen the beating that his boss took. And was understandably concerned, still though Mr Knight had given orders to the artist not to be at the corner. John could have ended up getting in the way, and to be fair the artist agreed with that. Besides the opponents of the United Kingdom Elite didn't strike the artist as the type that would cheat and gang up on them. He walked near Sion and Lina, folding his arms and giving them a greeting nod. "S'up? Enjoying the match?" John said to them with a friendly smile.

Back in the ring Lucy was only paying attention to one thing, and that was taking the fight right to Lita. Ms Grange was usually a cheerful sort, it fed into the image that she had. But she could be just as serious as her Brother if needed, and Lucy was displaying that. Wasting no time Lucy was getting closer to Lita, and planned to leap up into the air and fire out both of her legs for a classic dropkick.

When Lita hopped it she wanted to make a running attack too, but she knew from what they have shown in this match so far as well as what they have sounded from them so she was not surprise seeing Lucy take off. Lita did the same but she had no intention of striking her, at least not now. When she saw Lucy's feet leave the ground Lita would baseball slide, hoping to clear under Lucy. If she did that without her head colliding on any part of Lucy's body she'd pull her self up and hoped that Lucy would do the same as she was sizing up a superkick, though if Lucy stayed down low she'd be able to do something if the dropkick missed, which it still looked pretty.


Sion decided to take a peak back at John but saw him heading their way. He informs Lina and Lina instructs him to keep an eye on him. Sion hesitates to respond to him, not sure of what John was thinking. "Took you long enough to get down here, run out of turtle wax or something?" he asks him with a grin. John didn't look threatening but Sion did want to let him know that he saw John doing some things earlier that looked like he wasn't interested in the match hence he said what he did but he tried not to sound hostile tone wise.
