The New Guy meets SEME!

Shido would be hoisted up to his feet and then even further up than that, by Ryuu. A full nelson was a great move for Ryuu to exert his strength on his opponent, especially if that opponent was a smaller person, like Shido! He didn't exactly have a ton of options at this point, so he had to work with what Ryuu gave him.

Shido would riase his arms and slide downwards, back to his feet. If successful, he'd attempt to turn the momentum around by driving a harsh elbow backwards, into Ryuu's abdomen, hoping to make the big guy double over.

Shido didn't often throw strikes, and in truth, he wasn't the best striker. He didn't know any technical or intricate blows, but he did practice and he could handle the simpler stuff with relative ease. If he was successful in staggering his larger foe, he'd reach backwards and grab Ryuu's head with both hands, dropping it down to the mat with him using his own body, and onto his own shoulder for an attempt at a stunner!

Shido was a slippery and scrappy little opponent, Ryuu had to give him then. The amount of hangtime in the full-nelson was minimized when Shido wriggled through Ryuu's grasp and landed on his feet. He threw a sharp elbow back into Ryuu's exposed gut, making him wince and bend at a 45 degree angle.

This was enough for Shido to jump high and grab hold of the back of Ryuu's head. His body weight brought Ryuu's face down rapidly and he struck Shido's shoulder with great force when the smaller wrestler landed. Ryuu was then collapsed onto his chest with a groan, seemingly stunned from the aptly named and nicely executed move.

Shido a lot of his energy into that move. It was a longshot, but he was happy to have taken the risk! Things worked out for him this time. He could have capitalized on this, but he chose to sit near the ropes to lean on them and rest, instead. Ryuu would likely kick out of an attempt at a pin and Shido needed his stamina more than he did. After all, this was still a handicap match, and Mitsuru was probably fully rested by now. That concern stayed in the back of Shido's mind, however, as his main focus was on his opponent in the ring with him right now.

After taking a few deep breathes, he'd rise and assume a fighting stance, waiting for Ryuu to do the same.

As soon as Ryuu's wits were back about him, he was rolling away on instinct and getting his head up. That would have been a prime opportunity for Shido to have tried something, but apparently the guy needed a breather judging from the way he was hanging back on the ropes.

If he was worried about not having enough strength to seal the deal, then Ryuu had done his job. He powered to his feet with a huff, and trudged the few extra feet to tag Mitsuru back into the match.

Once their hands made contact, Mitsuru wasted no time speeding through the ropes and darting at Shido. She launched herself into the air and spun like a corkscrew for a creative spin on a drop kick (no pun intended ).

(haha but it was a cool pun xD)

Shido had taken a short rest to try toget himself back into the swing of things. Going toe to toe with Ryuu had taken it's toll on him and if he tried to capitalize on the opportunity given by landing that stunner, he may have overexerted himself. Unfortunately for Shido, resting would leave him vulnerable long enough for Ryuu to make a tag uninterrupted. And as soon as that happened, Miss Satou sped towards him full force!

Shido took the brunt of the drop kick while he was leaning against the rope. He had hoped that this would mitigate much of the force of the kick, as he could hold onto the ropes to keep steady, but this didn't seem to be the case. He'd yelp as the spinning drop kick knocked him between the ropes and outside of the ring. "Ugh!" Once outside, Shido would place a hand on the ring apron and pull himself back up, trying to find a sensible way to approach returning to the ring while avoiding Mitsuru's likely attempts to pounce on him

Mitsuru landed on knee in a whirl of dazzling red hair, whipping her head up to follow Shido's movements. He'd been thrown clean through the ropes and out ringside, though thankfully the gym floor was more forgiving than the concrete during the real deal. She got to her feet and took a few steps back, then ran once more towards Shido. This time she dove and slid with feet aimed towards his face.

This time however the move was a trick! She'd left Shido enough room for him to step back and dodge, but then he'd be left off balance. Mitsuru's speed was just right so that when she landed cleanly on her feet, she'd be ready to swing a kick low kick to the side/back of Shido's left leg to cut his mobility.

Mitsuru's knack for strategy seemed impeccable. Shido's quickness allowed him to get back to the ring apron quickly, but not quickly enough to avoid Mitsuru's kick without consequence. He had noticed her take a few steps back to space her kick correctly. And after taking a quick glance back, he knew that he couldn't dodge without opening himself up to another attack.

Still, Shido didn't want to make no attempt at dodging at all. He wouldn't try to move back and leave the apron to avoid the kick, but he would try in vain. It seemed his stamina was finally beginning to run out, as he couldn't move quickly enough to avoid the kick. Fighting in a handicap match will do that to anyone, eventually. Mitsuru's dainty feet would find they're mark, hitting Shido directly in the face! This would cause him to both stumble back AND lose his balance. Setting him up perfect for whatever the two thirds of SEME had in store for him next.

Mitsuru's kick finds it's mark in Shido's face and he plummets backwards into the ropes. Luckily for him, it's in his "half" of the ring, so he's safe from any ruthless tag-teaming for now. She rolls to her feet and bends down to take Shido by the hair's pulling him back to his feet and facing him away from her.

She spins around so that they're back to back, and then hooks her arms beneath his. She then starts to bend forward, stretching Shido over her back in a Gory special. She shook him back and forth and steeled up her squat in order to make the most of the submission hold's effects on Shido's back.

Shido would find himself lifted to his feet by the hair. He was still fairly stunned and this allowed Mitsuru to set him up in the Gory Special, effortlessly! Soon finding himself stretched out in a vicious submission hold outside the ring, he'd simply try to endure it for now! He knew that Mitsuru had proven herself smart enough and ring savvy enough to deny him any kind of hope to reach the ropes. And his small frame made it easy to hoist him into elaborate moves like this. He steeled himself and hoped to last until she became tired, and resolved not to submit.

"Augh!" he cried out, as he tried desperately to hold on!

Mitsuru hunches herself over further as Shido cringes and tries to hold on to his stamina. While there's some look of concentration and effort on her face, it's likely nowhere near what Shido would be going through. Both his arms and legs were tied up, all he had to go on was hoping his body weight was gonna tire her out. Good luck with that!

Ryuu watches from the other side of the ring with an amused expression. If the kid thought he was going anywhere of his own free will, well, he'd learn that lesson soon enough.

From the sidelines Hikaru banged his fist on the side of the ring and shouted "Oi, oi, you gonna give already?"
