3 v 1 match SEME vs James Justice

James groaned as he was rolled in half, laying his head to the side, there was no way he was going to be able to kick out after the amount of damage his spear had done to him. Suddenly, he found himself face down on the mat, one arm facing up while the other was laying limp at his side. All he could hear was the slap of flesh on flesh. He knew that Hikaru wanted to humiliate him, but he didn't understand why. He just lay there with his eyes closed, not moving.

Ryuu sighed in discontent as James lie there on his stomach, chest heaving up and down. It wasn't as if Hikaru had even gone all out, and yet this guy was already floored. After this was over, he was definitely going to have to have a talk with their manager about scheduling serious matches in the future.

"Let's get this over with" Ryuu muttered under his breath as he sauntered over to James. He bent down to scoop the kid up and stood there for a moment, looking out towards the crowd with a frown. This didn't seem like it was going to be particularly exciting for the crowd nor for him. With nothing else to do, Ryuu then just let go, allowing gravity to do the work of delivering James back down to the mat.

James grinned when he was let go, hoping to all things holy he wasn't making a mistake, he quickly wrapped his arms around him, spun a few times before attempting a black widow submission hold, pulling back on his arms. If this were to work, James would just hold him there until he passed out from the pain or one of his teammates broke up the hold. Meanwhile, the crowd went ballistic, screaming, clapping and cheering as they rose to their feet to try and get James back into this match.

One moment Ryuu was standing there bored out of his mind, dropping James and letting gravity deal with him, and the next he was suddenly hunched over on his knees, his arms wrenched back and his head forced down. The crowd went nuts at the sudden reversal of fortune, not to mention the tiny 5'4 American crippling the six foot giant in a single move.

Meanwhile Mitsuru's brows raised and she put on a smile seeing the real James spring into action. She had a feeling there was something fishy when Hikaru had pinned James so easily. Perhaps he would have kicked out had Hikaru had been more patient, or maybe he really was down for the count. She needed to watch him more carefully to be sure. On the other hand, Hikaru was practically chomping at the bit when James twisted about and made a fool out of Ryuu. "Oi Ryuu, dont let em manhandle you like that" he shouted and stomped his feet.

Back in the ring, Ryuu was adjusting to the new and sudden pain in his arms and neck. Despite having superior strength, this kind of move locked your joints in position that made it harder to take advantage of that strength. Smart move for facing someone like Ryuu. That being said, it was going to take more than this to make Ryuu pass out.

Clenching his teeth together Ryuu fought to get back to his feet. First the right knee up, then the left, and he was to a shaky stand. His biceps bulged as he attempted to power free of James's hold, but would his strength be enough from this position?

James grinned a little, but didn't want to hurt him to badly. He felt a little bad about what he was doing, but he knew it was the only way to keep him down. As he began to rise back to his feet, he frowned and pulled his arms further back, trying to force him back down, "Just give in sir, I promise this will only take three seconds." he smiled, laughing in his mind at his own joke.

Ryuu chuckled under his breath at the taunt the little punk was throwing his way. Maybe this move was enough for some of his previous opponents, but he was going to have to do a lot more before Ryuu was out of commission. He hissed slightly as James pulled his arms back further out of favorable position and increased the pain. Tricky little punk.

"Three seconds....eh?" Ryuu panted with a smirk, not that James would be in a position to see it. While he wasn't completely standing up due to James's leg being hooked behind one of his knees, Ryuu figured he was up high enough to make it count. Ryuu teetered forward slightly like he was going to fall, but then on his teeter back he kept going, allowing his own weight to fall back and crush James into the mat. Ideally it would be enough to make James let go, otherwise Ryuu might find himself in an even worse position than before.

James smiled and just waited, continuing to pull on his arms when, suddenly, he felt himself falling. His eyes widened and he grunted when the male fell on top of him. He was right, it was enough to make James let go. He rolled away and slowly got to his feet, watching the giant. He smiled and slowly circled him, but he made a rookie mistake. He made his way over to his opponent's corner, not realizing where he was.

The thunderous boom of Ryuu hitting the mat together with James shook the ring slightly, and evidently was enough of a jarring impact to free him. Ryuu rolled away and up to one knee, ready to immediately fight back, but James was staying back out of reach. The giant Japanese man slowly got back to his feet, rolling out his shoulders and massaging the muscle. There was a dull soreness in them, but nothing that should seriously impact his performance for the remainder of the match.

With James's back to SEME's corner, Ryuu didn't even have a chance to signal his team to do anything before Hikaru lashed out. His hand darted out and grabbed James by the hair, viciously yanking him back towards the ropes. He slid his arms under James's and behind his head to lock in a nasty full nelson that left him wide open for Ryuu.

Upon seeing this, both Ryuu and Mitsuru rolled their eyes at Hikaru's eagerness to take such measures. Not one to waste the opportunity however, Ryuu quickly closed the distance and swung the back of his arm with all his might, landing a loud and powerful chop across James's exposed chest.

By this time the referee had already shouted their warning and Hikaru let go, raising his hands in the air and proclaiming his innocence. Meanwhile Ryuu's footsteps shook the ring as he ran towards the opposite set of ropes, hurling his back into them and using that to pick up speed as he headed back for James, aiming to blow him away with a clothesline if he didn't recover and react soon enough.

James didn't even know what had happened until it was too late. He had fallen into a trap that they hadn't even thought of at all. He struggled against Hikaru until he saw the giant striding towards him. He struggled even harder against Hikaru, but to no avail. He then threw wild kicks at Ryuu, but those seemed to have no effect on him. A loud chopping sound could be heard throughout the arena and he gasped. The crowd gasped with him and grimaced. James took a few steps against the ropes, holding his chest and groaning a little from the pain. He stepped into the center of the ring when suddenly, Ryuu hit him with a vicious clothesline. He somersaulted in the air twice until landing on his back, laying sprawled out on his back.

Seeing the kid's body flip around twice in the air made Ryuu half-think he overdid it a bit, but with Hikaru's cheers and the resounding "ooooohs" of second-hand pain from the audience changed his mind. He didn't need to remind himself that James was just as willing to be here as he was, and besides, that was just a little payback for that tricky submission he had tried on just earlier. Ryuu popped down and slid his back over James's chest, then hooked his left leg for a pin. He might as well try and end his part in it here if he could.

ONE!
