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

Ryan hadn't really used this submission hold in recent memory, but being the man that he was Mr Knight made sure to keep the moves honed. Else if one were to try the move without having done so in a long while then rust could set in, and it'd only get worse from there. The British paragon was trying to keep the hold locked in, cranking on Daisuke like a pretzel. No doubt it must have been an odd view point for the blonde woman, being sideways on the shoulders of a big British guy would do that to you.

But it didn't seem that Ryan's opponent was eager to keep in this position for very long, given the fact that she was now striking at the head of Britain's paragon. Mr Knight was trying to keep his head looking down, to try and lessen the chance of attacking the front. But Daisuke was lucky, she got a couple of good shots in. One clipping Britain's paragon on the side of the nose, earning a loud grunt from Ryan. His reaction was to toss Daisuke off his shoulders behind him while moving forward, Ryan's next response was to check his nose for any bleeding. Thankfully he got lucky, but the attack still left him rattled a bit. Mr Knight was no stranger to a bit of blood here and there, nothing some plastic surgery couldn't fix. Still it was of course preferable to stay clean and have the ring clean also.

Just as Daisuke was thrown off of Ryan, Lina would call out to her for her to stay on him. Lina had a feeling Daisuke may have found a difference maker that could help turn the tables again if she was able to stay on the offensive. Daisuke didn't need Lina to say what she did, for Dai wanted to do just that anyway. She pulled herself up as quickly as she could, and if she could beat Ryan to the punch she would first go low, wanting to clip his legs. If she was able to do that, even if was just enough to make him wobble a bit she would then strike high. If she brought him down a little bit she would be a bit more accurate but if he was still standing she would still reach in, and use a small leap if she had to, sort of like Little Mac from Punch Out, even though the height difference between them wasn't a major one, she still wanted to close the gab anyway way she could. Regardless she would deliver some forearm strikes towards Ryan's nose before leaping up, wanting to connect with a spinning heel kick with some air time, with the intent of busting him open.


While wanting to do that was something she usually would not intend on doing to an opponent, she knew Ryan was a tough guy. Still, if it was something Daisuke had to do she would at least do it with clean strikes. Lina seeing Ryan's reaction after getting Dai off of him a moment ago made her think if he did in fact start bleeding from the nose it could very well make a difference.

Ryan was thinking of what he could do next, that move he attempted could have really worn down Daisuke. But she was relentless, fair enough in the same spot Mr Knight probably would have attempted the same thing. The paragon of Britain might have been a very divisive person when it came to the wrestling universe, but everyone agreed that he was a clean fighter at the very least though. Fighting to get out a hold, yeah sure. Dirty stuff though, not good for the public image.

Mr Knight turned around, intent on trying to keep on going against Daisuke. But the blonde woman was relentless as aforementioned, with her plan was to start chopping the British paragon down. The close proximity meant the attack would work, whittling down Ryan as Daisuke hoped. Still Ryan had a pair of arms, and used them in an attempt to mitigate some of the damage. The forearms would get blocked to some extent, better than just tanking it at this time. Although that wasn't the worst part, as all those attacks was just a build-up for Daisuke's finale.

The jumping spinning heel kick came up and hit it's mark, for some degree. It clipped Ryan on the side of his nose, the right one. And sure enough Ryan could feel it, the copper smell. Great that was another facial feature that got busted in the ring, first the forehead with the Ishii's and now this. Still the cost of plastic surgery if needed, was but mere pocket change to Mr Knight.

But there was no way in hell Ryan was going to take this lying down, even with the assault on his body thus far. Mr Knight had managed to grab hold of Daisuke's attacking leg, and gave a rather sinister grin. Right as the blood trickled down to his upper lip Ryan would attempt to swiftly kick out Daisuke's other leg, to send her to her back on the mat. The paragon of Britain would then try to flip over his opponent to her belly, and then attempt a signature move of his. It was the leg slicer submission that he dubbed the Knightmare! That move could cause major pressure on the fulcrum of Daisuke's leg, it had been used to secure the tension tag belts and was banned in some parts of the world. Not in Japan though, and it'd only work in Ryan's favour given the ring positioning.

Lina grinned a little bit when she saw Lina bleeding from the nose. Before she could suggest anything to Daisuke she saw Ryan grabbing hold of her "Oh for the love of god..." she vents slightly as throws her arms up a little but, surprised that Ryan came back the way he did but also in a way not surprised. She could tell Daisuke had him if she could get out of what ever it was Ryan was going for. Even though Ryan did take Daisuke down she wouldn't be one that would go down quietly and Ryan had to work to get Dai still long enough to get the move applied.

Dai tried to fight out of it, though it wasn't much use by then as Ryan had a good grip on her leg, but she still tried to squirm into the direction of the ropes, though before it could look like any progress on an attempt like that would be made, Lita got inside the ring and in an attempt to break up the hold she would give Ryan a running knee drop the side of one of his ribs. While Lita did believe in Daisuke's skill she didn't want to take any chances.

Ryan felt like he had Daisuke dead to rights, this was one of his best moves. The Knightmare would result in intense pressure around her leg, it was the move that the paragon of Britain had used to ensure that the UK Elite would win the tension tag belts. With good ring positioning too, this only worked in the favour of Mr Knight and Lucy. Perhaps with this victory would most certainly be at hand, Ryan was cranking back the held leg of Daisuke as best he could. He had his gaze cast to the side, intent on trying to assess the state of his opponent so that way he could judge how long it'd be till victory.

So needless to say Ryan wasn't prepared for when Lita decided to intervene, bumrushing the British paragon by firing out a running knee attack. It clipped Mr Knight in the chest, earning a loud grunt from him as the wind got knocked out his sails. Knocking him down to the side, which could enable Daisuke to break the hold that Ryan had on her.

But Lucy wasn't going to just sit there and take it, if Lita was going in then the British girl figured it only fair game that she bust in too. Ms Grange gritted her teeth and rushed out of her side of the apron, fire in her eyes as she made a beeline straight for Daisuke's tag partner. No sooner had the woman performed the rushing knee drop Lucy would be there, leaping up with her legs in the air. The British girl was intent on trying to one up by busting out an old fashioned hurricanrana, hoping to send Lita out for a loop and eliminate the problem by maybe taking it outside.

It was hard to tell if Daisuke would have been able to force a break of the hold if Lita didn’t come in, but what’s done is done. Lita went to pick Ryan up after the knee shot but when she got back up she let go of Ryan as she saw Lucy coming at her. It looked like Lucy was going to take Lita over again, but this time on the attempted flip over Lita went down to a knee to try to block it, and to get a counter grip of some kind on her. Lita stood back up having a hold of Lucky, but not a completely grip, and was looking to give her a running awesome bomb to the floor. As she ran towards the ropes she felt Lucy responding with some head shots, which made Lita begin to lose her balance, and when they got to the ropes Lita got flung over with the move that Lucy was originally going for, but the way Lita was holding on to Lucy as well, Lita would not be going out alone.

Luckily for Lucy though, Sion broke her fall due to the angle they were at when the fell. John wasn’t as lucky as Lita clips him in the head as she came falling. Lina was barely able to avoid getting caught in the line of fire, but she was still very close by in the event anyone on the outside reacted the wrong way. The crowd on the outside did get the referee’s attention for a moment.

As that was going on, if Ryan went to grab hold of Daisuke, Dai would attempt to nail Ryan in the face again, like a shark smelling blood and wanting more, even though that was kind of true as Ryan was bleeding. Regardless if the forearm shot connected or not she would attempt to get him in a crossface submission, which would most likely result in a struggle between them, but she knew she had to go for something big here.

Lucy liked to believe that sometimes using in moves in wrestling was a gamble, moves like what she was just doing were a prime example. Ms Grange had felt Lita managed to get hold of the momentum, no doubt planning to set up something nasty for the British girl. But Lucy wasn't going to be slammed down without a fight, those strikes to the head of Lita was fueled by desperation and determination. Lita could probably understand where she was coming from.

But the motions also meant that Lita and Lucy were going for a loop, out the ring. And what happened was a crash scene, Lucy felt herself hitting something before going down the mat. The British girl guessed it was one of Lita's crew, but she could also here John giving a loud grunt. The artist had been clipped in the side of the head, and with the momentum of Lita what resulted was Mr Carnaby being quite out of it. He could only clutch his head with both hands and groan slightly in pain, trying to figure out just what the hell hit him. Lucy someone under her, but wasn't really able to move right now. After all she'd just gone for quite the ride, progress would be a bit slow in moving back up.

Back in the ring Ryan hadn't really seen what occured, but knew that Lucy would deal with Lita. It was Daisuke, the legal member of the opposing team that he needed to deal with. And Mr Knight had seen and knew that she was going to try and press the advantage, trying to keep it to the ground. Consdiering the number that the Knightmare would have done on one of her legs, but Daisuke was nothing if not persistant. She whacked Mr Knight in the head as he attempted to lay hands on her, giving a loud grunt in response to it. The paragon of Britain wasn't going to take it lying down though, he attempted to get as vertical as he could.

The blood wasn't too serious, but it just didn't suit the style of Mr Knight. At least from his viewpoint, but that didn't matter right now. All Ryan was wanting was to try and fight back, and he did so by trying to fire out a few punches to Daisuke's sides. The British man knew that vertical equaled good, had to try and keep it that way.

Even though Daisuke was feeling it with Ryan firing away on the side, in addition to her wobbling a bit from the move Ryan had her in not too long ago, she still had that determination. She went to strike him in the mid-section or just above it with the knee on the leg that she was wobbling on. It wasn’t flat on the ground so might as well put it to use, which she wanted to put a lot into it if she could, wanting to make it count.

As for the mess on the outside, it was starting to get untangled. Sion went to break away from being tied up with John, but ended up tripping over Lucy and Lita, making him collide a little bit with Lita and Lucy, mostly Lucy. The way that happened, made accidently forced John to collide with Lina, knocking her down. Lina thought he did that intentionally and she would yell at him, asking what that was for and slaps him across the face, but only if John noticed what happened and went to see if she was alright. If that was not the case she would kick him behind one of his knees and ask him the same question.

John was no stranger to getting hurt in and outside the squared circle, it came with the territory and line of work outside of being an artist. But it was often when Mr Carnaby was ready for it, getting into the mindset of expecting the pain and getting ready to give it back just as good with well applied submissions. So needless to say he wasn't expecting to get slammed into, so John was a bit stunned right now. "G...get the license of that car...." he muttered out just for the sake of it, least that sense of humour was still intact.

Still now the wreck now had two new people in it, Lucy and Lita. Sion had the right idea, getting himself free. Only what ensued was a domino effect as Mr Carnaby tried to get up, only to be knocked down and then into Lina. It earned a loud grunt and groan from the master of creation, and Lina didn't seem to like the sentiment as she'd deliver a kick to John's knees. Shouting into his ears, this wasn't John's night tonight and he wasn't even competing! "Ah everyone's shoving me about like it's Smash Bros, dammit. Only the artist to suffer so." he said aloud, now in a sitting position with his hands on his head.

Meanwhile in the ring Daisuke was still going at it against the British paragon, Mr Knight had sweat down his upper chest. All the to and fro and slams and dunks had resulted in the young man getting worn down, but Ryan was a determined fellow who'd kick the Devil's door in and argue with him. He'd quickly look to the side and see the pile out there, getting an idea in the process. Ryan took the hit Daisuke gave to his midriff as best he could, giving a loud grunt but at the same time he moved forward to get his hands on her shoulders. If that worked then Mr Knight would try to storm to the ropes and attempt a clothesline on the neck of Daisuke to send her to the outside, followed then by getting on his knees and grabbing the middle rope in an effort to catch his breath.

Lucy meanwhile was still in the pile of people, and was lying on her hands and knees trying to keep close to Lita. She looked at Mr Knight and shouted to her Brother "Water's fine!" Ryan would say nothing and merely roll his eyes at that little pun.

As Lita was trying to pull herself back to her feet, she unknowingly put her hands on Lucy's upper thighs for support, moving higher as she used Lucy for support, like it came natural. She fell back down a bit, and as natural as it would seem she instinctively grabbed on to the nearing thing she could find, which in this case happened to be Lucy's bottoms. Depending where Lucy was at that moment it may or may not have pulled down what she was wearing. Lita would eventually pull herself back up, not realizing the awkwardness she was just in.

As for Sion, the first thing he could clearly process was Lina's actions and comments towards John. He thought John said or did something, given Lina's reaction. Sion would look towards Lina then fire a right hook at John as he was standing up for Lina, thinking John did something to her a moment ago and just caught Lina's response.
