Tag Team Title match! Imperial Order (c) vs Pride Queens! [FWC]

Staying in what was now the middle of the ring with her head ringing. Kyoko could hear some chants trying to get her back in action and felt herself slowly getting back up after being dropped. Looking around she was still trying to pinpoint Akiha's location as she started to get up, though failing at that a voice broke through her cloud and was pretty clear to her.

"Duck!" Amy shouted as Akiha charged her for the shining wizard. The Japanese girl still didn't know what to expect at all but her body didn't question the orders as she felt herself move tot he side and duck low to avoid the attack. After a second of not getting hit she took that as her cue to move and started to push up once more.

Akiha started to move in as she saw her opponent starting to get up. She would jump in the air but as she did so, Amy yelled to partner to duck, the result was that her attack would miss. Luckily for Akiha as shinning wizard was not a high flying move, so she would simply land on the nearby ground on her butt.

She could not afford to waste a moment as her opponent was still somewhat fresh and if she tagged Amy then all the progress they made would be lost. Not wasting a moment, she would quickly get back to her feet as she saw Kyoko started to push herself up. The Japanese wrestler would once again get in a grappling position as she didn't have time to move in. Though she would need to come up with some new ideas as Kyoko would probably not fall for her old ones.

Moving back up and taking a second to recover she looked Amy's way and then turned around to see Akiha was already up and ready to go as she turned her way and got in a defensive stance noting that trying to be the aggressor wasn't going to win her the fight until she could get some kind of advantage over the redhead.

"Done getting your ass kicked? Good now do something." Kyoko huffed as she ignored Amy's 'encouragement' and moved in closer to meet the girl as she cautiously looked to meet her again and try to knock Akiha flat on her back.

Akiha managed to get her feet, Kyoko was up as well. “Seems your partner isn't that supportive.” stated Akiha as she decided to taunt her opponent a bit. She would then retreat before going towards the ropes and bouncing off them and coming rushing towards Kyoko but she would not attack, instead, as she got close, she would duck just in case her opponent tried to attack her with some kind of clothesline or any attack that was aimed towards her chest or head.

If she managed to do this successfully, she would then bounce off the ropes that were at the opposite end of the previous set of ropes she had bounced off. She would then come running towards Kyoko far faster than before. As she got close, she would jump in the air as she stretched her arm out, trying to hit her opponent with a flying clothesline and take her back down to the ground again.

"No..really? I hadn't noticed." Kyoko said sarcastically not in the mood to be reminded how Amys attempt at encouragement were only a step up from her insults if that. Though all she wanted to do was start bringing the match into her favor and start showing Akiha why she was a someone not to be overlooked. Reaching out to grab at her the redead quickly chose to slide past her rather then lock up again.

Turning to follow her she saw Akiha coming straight at her with the momentum of the ropes allowing her to be faster then usual and ready to clothesline her. However Kyoko had time to react and she was not in the vested interest of staying on her back she ducked and attempted to grab Akiha's waist to lift her up as she ran in and drop her down in a spine buster.

Akiha managed to bounce off both ropes before coming at her opponent and jumping in the air and trying to hit her opponent with a flying clothesline. Yet Akiha attack would miss as her fellow Japanese wrestler duck out of the way and grab her waist. The crimson hair crusader would then be slammed to the ground as her opponent performed a spine buster. “Gah!” yelled Akiha as she hit the ground and she would then hold her back as she tried to roll to her side. The audience would cheer at the sight, glad to see Pride Queens now starting to take control of the match.

Slamming the girl down to the ground Kyoko took a second to move back and look down at the redhead as she rolled to her side to help herself recover and get back up. Kyoko needed to take this time to make sure she was ready after the repeated blows to her head as she moves on down to Akiha and attempts to try and kick her back to keep her on her stomach.

"Cant have you going anywhere now can I?" Kyoko said as she stayed on the the tag champ and looked to drive her knee into her back once again. Her reasoning was simply to make sure to weaken her back not only to make it easier to shut down her high flying offense but to finish her off when the time came to do so.

Being grabbed like that and slammed to the ground was a painful experienced that left Akiha in a bad position. As she tried to get back up, she would be kicked back down to the ground as her opponent then said a few words to her before kneeing her right in the back, doing a good amount of damage. Sure Akiha was faster but her opponent was stronger, which meant each hit hurt a lot more. The attack would cause her to yell in pain as she would then try to roll away, attempting to put some distance as she did so. If she could get far enough she would roll out of the ring, it was actually something she was known for as she had often turned matches around by doing such a tactic. Though if her opponent acted quickly, she might be able to stop Akiha from doing so.

Nailing her with the knee Kyoko sent Akiha right back to the floor. Shutting down the redheads attempts to do so she wanted to go and bring Akiha back up only for her to roll away and try to get a break from her offense. Kyoko made an effort to chase after her once she realized what she was doing only to fall short of actually catching her. Tough she was fully prepared to chase after her she was stopped when she saw Amy jump off her side and run around to get her.

"What are you-" She tried to get out before she realized Amy was making a beeline for Akiha while she was on the outside. If the blonde was fast enough she would attempt to knock Akiha down before grabbing her hair and attempting to throw her into the barricade. "I'm not used to tag matches but I'm pretty sure I can get away with this for a little bit."

Considering that her fellow compatriot appeared to have matters well in hand after Gwendolyn, in all her benevolence, volunteered to politely escort Kyoko back inside the ring, the heiress took this momentary advantage as a brief opportunity to primp up her golden curls and reclaim her composed nature after having been sucker punched earlier. She now had something to smile about as it seemed this match had the potential to go as effortlessly flawless as their championship win if they played their cards right and intervened at the right time.

*Hmm?...* Gwen perked up curiously once one such opportunity presented itself in the form of Amy taking chase from her corner and on a clear collision course with her retreating partner at ringside. Acting on pure instinct towards protecting her title belt from escaping her grasp...and, also rescue her crimson-haired partner, she supposed...Gwen would take off sprinting across the ring apron before leaping over Akiha's head and towards the incoming lioness. After landing snugly on Amy's shoulders and wrapping her toned thighs tightly around her head, Gwen would carry that forward momentum and pivot to the side into a swirling hurricanrana attempt.
