SS 16 Thunder Round: Akiha Kosha Vs. Gabbie Desjardin Vs. Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt Vs. Belinda Northman

Gabbie dropped to the canvas, jostled by the impact of Belinda's kick when she was released and was bent over panting, still dripping a bit from the nose and panting vigorously. She turned and looked at at the scene, her eyes meeting Belinda's and then turning to Gwendolyn. Gabbie used the ropes to try and get herself to a standing position.

"H-Help me get her over..." Gabbie panted, trying to get Belinda to choose dumping Gwendolyn over the ropes instead of her.

Well that was a good turn of events for Belinda, she nodded to herself as she brought herself up to a stand after downing Gwendolyn with that kick to the back of her head. It was a bit of a cathartic payback for the kick which Belinda had taken right to her face earlier...though Belinda wouldn't just leave it at that! She was fairly certain that just one kick no matter how brutal it was would take the Imperial Rose down.

Hearing Gabbie call over to her though was something which perked Belinda's attention. " Alright!" She responded with a fired-up tone in her voice. She raised her boot to give Gwendolyn's ribs a hard stomp, before attempting to pull the girl up by her arm and drag her off towards the ropes. It did kind of feel a bit bad to double team...though it seemed as if Gwendolyn and Akiha had worked out some plan, since Gwen hadn't gone after Akiha following the face kick....still, it was nagging at Belinda as she tried to drag Gwen over towards Gabbie so they could try and throw the fellow blond out of the ring over those ropes.

The stunning shock of being blindsided from out of nowhere impeded Gwen's movements just as much as the throbbing head pains she was forced to endure. She was regrettably unaware of the collusion transpiring just above her as the ringing in her eyes kept what Gabbie and Belinda were saying out of earshot, the heiress jerking from the harsh boot to her ribcage before being hoisted back up to her groggy feet by the tugging on her arm.

"Nnngh..." Gwen groaned from the sudden elevation, now feeling both Belinda and Gabbie grubby hands aiding in the ascension. Being double-teamed like this was hardly an uncommon sensation to the heiress, especially considering this was exactly how her Entropy title was stolen from her all those months ago. But before Gwen could regain her senses enough to retaliate, the pompous aristocrat widened her eyes from being chucked clean over the top ropes!!!...

...and straight into the attentive arms of her two steadfast entourage members at ringside, her employees catching their curly-haired employer before her boots could touch the ground and signal her elimination!!! Upon tenderly rolling the reviled heiress under the bottom rope and back inside the ring, viscous hatred would rain down from around the arena at the blatant interference preventing what was so obviously the first elimination of the match!!!

Akiha had managed to get to the ropes as she then began to use them to get back onto her feet. She held onto to the ropes as she then watch Belinda and Gabbie teaming up together and throwing Gwen over the top ropes. The raven hair wrestler would close her eyes at the sight. It seemed her ally had been eliminated.

After a second she would rush forward, using the ropes to send herself behind her arch rival. Once she got close she would attempt a drop kick onto the blonde Swedie. Hopefully this sneak attack could eliminate another opponent and even the match out or at least that is what she thought. As at the moment she didn't know Gwen was still in the match.

With Gabbie's help it wasn't very difficult for the pair to hoist up Gwendolyn over the top ropes. It seemed as if this was it for the Imperial Rose, though...that soon fell to pieces it seemed as Gwendolyn's entourage caught her and instead rolled her into the ring to not let her fall onto her feet. Belinda frowned and stomped her foot against the mat. There was no way that could actually be legal...though sadly for her it was. Technically, not that it helped Gwendolyn's favor with the crowd.

Belinda just turned around as Akiha's came in and drove her feet into the young blond's chest, forcing Belinda to vault over the top ropes...only managing to catch hands on them as she'd practically nearly got eliminated by the sneak drop kick! She dangled on the ropes for a moment or two before pulling herself up to try and get herself standing on the apron, facing in towards the ring. " Phew!...Too close! "

Gabbie had helped muscle Gwendolyn out of ring only to watch her entourage catch her and roll her back in. "C'mooon!" Gabbie hissed with frustration, only to recoil as Akiha's boots slammed into Belinda and nearly toppled her over. "Belinda!" Gabbie caught herself yelping and lunged to try and keep the blonde inside, only to see her teeter on the brink.

Either of the other two would have eliminated Belinda easily but Gabbie needed an ally. If she eliminated Belinda right now, she'd be no match for a two on one against Akiha and Gwendolyn.

Gabbie quickly assessed the situation and saw that despite everything, both of her foes were on the ground. Gabbie quickly turned towards Akiha and tried to swiftly snap a kick at her head to keep her down on the mats, flashing Belinda a quick look to make sure they were on the same page. She was turning her back to the blonde now when she could have eliminated her and hopefully Belinda wasn't dumb enough to eliminate Gabbie and be put in the disadvantageous two on one herself.

After being shuffled back into the ring by her fastidious employees, Gwen propped herself up to a seated position with one hand still massaging the point of impact on her sore temple from Belinda's blindsiding kick. Her metaphorical and quite literal safety net having saved her from an early elimination, much to the disapproving jeers from the incensed audience. One aspect of her plan going into this match having been unveiled and now making her odds of winning significantly higher...

"H-Huh?" Gwen queried upon tilting her head up and shifting her eyes between the sight of Belinda now seemingly on the brink of being eliminated and Gabbie approaching her fallen comrade. She winced from the lingering dizziness she felt as she shuffled upward while assessing her options quickly. Pelting Belinda with strikes may reap some benefits, then again it may not. It was also the more predictable gambit, and both the heiress' only seemed to making any headway when they were unified...

...Gwen pondered all these thoughts and more within the span of a few seconds before coming to what she felt was the more prudent tactical decision. The pompous aristocrat taking off in a sprint towards Gabbie after her snap kick towards Akiha and once again firmly fastening a clenching waistlock around the Dojo lackey's abdomen. "You chose poorly~..." Gwen eerily uttered with her posh vocals directly into Gabbie's ear. The heiress' chest pressing against Gabbie's back with one more tightened hug before bucking backwards and arching her spine while on her toes for an elegant and perfectly executed German Suplex, releasing Gabbie soon afterwards.

Charging forward, Akiha would jump into the air before hitting her arch rival with a drop kick, sending the Swedish blonde over the top ropes. As Belinda started to go over the top ropes, a smile would appear on the raven hair wrestler face. In addition, she could see that Gwen was still in the match, which made the moment even better. Sure, both moves were cheap but it was legal and it had done its job. Though her smile would quickly turn into a frown as she saw that the young Northman had not gone totally over the ropes and was now pulling herself up. Akiha would get ready to move in and attempt to eliminate her from this match once and for all.

The raven hair wrestler would begin to get up but before she could do so, she would be kicked in the head, sending her back down to the ground as she held it. She would hold her head as she would then attempt to once again to move towards the ropes. Hopefully, just like before she could get some rest and once again get back into the match. At least Gwen was back in the match and distracting Gabbie at the moment.

"Ehhh, ahh?!"

Before she could even enjoy the satisfying kick to Akiha's head, Gabbie felt the familiar squeeze of Gwendolyn's voluptuous form against her back. A grunt escaped her lips and her cheeks.

As she was lifted, she kicked and flailed, but ultimately could do nothing to stop the suplex and was soon crashed into the canvas and flopped, coughing and rolling around until she came to a stop, wheezing and panting against the mats in daze.

Belinda pulled herself back up just in time to see Gwendolyn pick up Gabbie and throw her backwards for that powerful german suplex, slamming the only person in this ring that Belinda could count on for any support against the twosome that was Akiha and Gwendolyn....she couldn't have that happen, for the moment her and Gabbie needed to work together if that was how Akiha and Gwendolyn was going to do it!

As such she pulled herself up so her feet were on the top ropes and leaped off of them, attempting to come dropping down on Gwendolyn's chest with her boots first with a missile dropkick as the heiress's chest as was starting to get up to her feet! " Haah!"
