Animalistic Tendencies W/ Shido vs The United Kingdom Elite

A set up it might have been in the eyes of Juniper, but there was one problem with this. Ryan wasn't in the ring right now, in fact he had been staying ringside the entire time. During which he had been assessing the whole situation, and he had a plan. When it came to strategy the British paragon was quite adept, regardless of if it was chess or not.

Lucy kept struggling, she had the chance to drive elbows right into Sabre's ribs. It was the best she could do, and the British girl had her strikes fuelled by her anger and spite towards her enemy. Then she realised what Sabre was doing, removing her shoes it seemed. Lucy didn't care, all that mattered was hitting the stupid woman. If Sabre was trying to humiliate Ms Grange then Lucy was going to make sure she got as many attacks in as possible.

But Sabre removing Lucy's shoes was part of Ryan's plan, why? Because in doing so Sabre was wasting valuable time, and leaving herself wide open. Time to tip the scales. Ryan turned his head to John, and winked with the eye that couldn't be seen. The artist knew what this meant, Sabre was open and close. Close enough for John to run into the ring, swing his leg as hard as he could right into her back and get her off Lucy before attempting an escape. The artist might not be the fastest, but he reckoned he could get in a strong cheap shot right about now with what Sabre was trying to do.

Juniper lost her shit. She shook the ropes and let out a crazed yell. They ruined her resort plan! Those danced fools! The redhead wanted to lunge in there and hit John and take all of them on by herself. But that was a stupid idea.

She shook her head and growls. Sabre would succeed to take off the shoes of Lucy and make her barefoot. The UKE used this to their advantage and took a good hit at Sabre. That earned a yell from the woman as she rolled onto her stomach. Juniper yelled for Sabre and stuck her arm deep into the ring as it could go.

Sabre growls) not wanting to be done yet. She looked back at Lucy, and reluctantly tagged Juniper. Sabre rolled out of the ring. Juniper rushes in and tries to get Lucy into some throwing throwing a stomp down on the blond woman's back.

Well it looked as if things were gonna break down, this was actually quite common in tag matches. When someone could do a run in at a moment's notice, and the UK Elite had learned to take advantage of that whenever possible. It helped to ensure they had kept the title belts for as long as they did, the British team were quite the known strategists. And this had gone as planned, Sabre was struck hard. Juniper and her group had let their focus linger on their stupid request, and it was used to the advantage of the champs.

"Thanks John!" Lucy shouted as she felt the pressure of Sabre removed thanks to the intervention of the master of creation, who had promptly slipped out the ring to avoid any attacks. Ms Grange knew what she needed to do, it was time to tag out. Get Britain's paragon in, the best for last. Ryan had extended his arm out silently with a stoic look and nod.

Though it seemed that the enemy had for once the right idea, Sabre was fresher than Lucy. The British girl had gotten herself up as quick as she could to try and cover the distance, she was already not far off from her corner. And being barefooted hadn't bothered Lucy in the slightest, those shoes she wore dated back to high school. So pretty worn out anyway. But Juniper stamped her down to the mat, with a hard grunt from Lucy. Stabbed in the back so to say, Ms Grange had focused on closing distance to her home base over protecting herself.

John got back on the apron and readied himself for whatever happened next, Ms Grange knew that Juniper was standing on her here. It hurt sure, a hard stamp on the back. But the instant Lucy felt that pressure come off her back the British girl would try for one throw of the dice, to quickly move around and try to get her body in place to take Juniper with a drop toe hold.

Shido wanted to keep track of all the action transpiring in front of him in the ring. It was easy enough to follow. The hard part was knowing where and when he was needed. John had already got in a cheap shot and Sabre had removed Lucy's shoes. It seemed that bending the rules was becoming all the rage in this match.

Still though, it wasn't really in his nature to fall in with everyone else and resort to dirty tactics. Sabre had taken a decent amount of punishment and saw it necessary to roll out of the ring and catch a breather. And Juniper was fresh and could definitely hold her own against an opponent like Lucy that had already taken a decent amount of punishment. At least that's what Shido's thought process was. He'd hop off the ring apron and check on Sabre.

"Hey, Sabre! You alright? You did great out there!" He'd say with his usual upbeat attitude.

Sabre groans. But then the voice of her ally come through. She looked up at Shido while laying on the floor. "Im...Good. Just help me up, okay?" She says in a friendlier tone than she normally spoke to him in.

Juniper was pissed and filled with strength and rage. She was going to do anything she can to win this. She was taken down by Lucy. While she was coming down, Juniper attempts to throw an elbow at Lucy's face before ahe herself crashed down.

"Awesome!" Shido replied as he took Sabre's hand and helped the giantess up to her feet.

"Let's go back where we're needed." the fan but suggested, pointing to the ring apron, where tag partners should wait. He turned his attention to Juniper, who seemed to be ready to throw all her wrath at UKE and then some, hopefully without being too reckless whilst doing so.

The UK Elite knew what was going on, the match was nearing it's conclusion. This was the beginning of the end, and both parties had saved their best for last. Ryan remained calm in spite of the danger his Sister was in at this point, he knew that Lucy was capable and aware of her limits at the same time. Which was why she had made sure she was as close to the corner of her team with each chance she had, Ms Grange was preparing for the tag out.

Right now Lucy's priority wasn't on taking the fight to Juniper, it was time to beat a fast retreat. Sure taking the enemy to the ground looked like it was related to attacking, but that was far from what Ms Grange planned. Juniper might be angry, but Lucy's focus on getting around the enemy would come to play. If the opponent's elbow had caught Ms Grange in the head there it could have busted the nose or given a black eye perhaps, but the British girl had adjusted her body accordingly.

After the drop toe hold Lucy gritted her teeth, the pain in Juniper's stomp was still clearly apparent. But the corner was so, so close. Lucy moved her legs out free and hobbled a little before leaping to her team, and promptly slapped the open and held out hand of Britain's paragon. The crowd began roaring, it was too long Ryan felt. Now it was time for him to grace the battlefield.

Mr Knight briefly glared at Shido before fixating his gaze at Juniper, he wasn't going to attack her right now. Not when Lucy's earlier move had only been focused on escape, though it wasn't out of a case of honour or anything like that. Instead Ryan gave a small smile before simply stating "So, it's you......" Mr Knight plainly stated as if he were to remark on the weather before getting into his stance, both trump cards had been played now.

Juniper was getting back up, knowing Lucy's tactic wasnt to fight back. There was only one more person on their team. And he hadn't been played yet, until now. Juniper was on her knee by the time Ryan stepped in and made a small and trivial comment. The redhead made a small growl. "Yeah...:

She stands up on two feet. "Its me..." Juniper's plan had fallen apart. The origin was to keep Lucy in and attack those freshly bare feet until the woman could take no longer. And that was already plan B. Luckily, Juniper's plan C was simple enough. She knew Ryan wouldnt dare tag out. Not even when he's on his last leg.

And neither did Juniper. The redhead stuck her fist up and grins her same, psychotic, trademark grin.

Well this was it, Ryan normally wasn't very dramatic in the ring. That was mostly reserved for outside where he was known to be rather....colourful, here though Ryan would give just a bit of leeway for that. Just a bit, Juniper had earned that. Though only that, he didn't exactly appreciate the roughing up of his Sister. But he would reserve that for Lucy's discretion.

"Only when your around my dear....." Mr Knight muttered with a smirk, before cracking his neck to the right and left. He knew what was at stake here, both leaders had stepped up now. Mr Knight wasn't considering tagging, but he knew that John would be on standby. And Lucy too once she caught her breath and all that.

Ryan thumbed his nose before getting himself ready, he knew that Juniper possessed very considerable strength. But it just so happened that he himself was in the possession of great power himself, once Juniper was done dismantling the enemy team would just be a matter of course. To get things started Ryan had his arms out ready to accept a lockup, as he edged himself forward. Mr Knight was in his mind an opposite of Juniper, given that he was taking the calm and practical approach to the battle at hand. All part of his strategy, just as it had been since the start of the match.

Juniper smirks. "Ya know, I never wanted the belt. Maybe someday I'll come looking for one. I just want the satisfaction of knowing I can beat a champ and make him submit..." The redhead came forward in a more relaxed fashion and lock up with Ryan.

She makes a small grunt as she puahed on him. Her heels dig into the ring canvas. She gives him a big grin. "Show me what ya got...!"

Sabre leans on the ring ropes and sighs. "I dont like the situation. I just want to crack some heads. Not tag in and out and dance around the ring like fairies!"
