Showdown '19: White Gale (C) vs Akamatsu Siblings: Tension Tag Team Title Match

The way Sion dropped caused Daisuke a high level of concern. The move itself wasn't one she wanted to see happen, but the added stuff rather than a straight fall was alarming. Lina also was concerned, but Daisuke was more so. The short delay before Kyo went for the pin gave her the thought of having to get in their to break it up, but by the time she started to act it didn't matter.

She got only a knee through the ropes when Sion managed to get a shoulder up at 2 and a half. She sighed in relief as she discretely lowered her leg back down.

As the count reached 2 and a half, Kyo's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this might be it-- that after everything he had gone through in this match, he might finally be scoring a pinfall. And not just any pinfall, but one being scored against Sion, one half of one of the most powerful tag teams in Tension, one that could potentially have cemented his and Makie's victory.

Naturally, though, Sion kicked out.

Releasing Sion, Kyo knelt upright, worn out from the brutality he had recieved from Sion. Wearily, he stood back up, and, grabbing Sion by the arm, pulled him to his feet and began to pull him towards his and Makie's corner. If he managed to make it there without interruption, then he would slap Makie's outstretched, hand, whip Sion into the corner, and slide under the ring...

...just as Makie came leaping over the top of the turnbuckle, grabbed onto the ropes, and used them to swing both knees down, hard, into Sion's chest!

Fully on the outside of the ropes again, Daisuke attempts to come up with something should Sion be able to get to her. As she attempts to come up with something, Kyo tags out. Whatever was going through her mind she had to abandon the thought quickly as Makie slingshotted herself over the ropes and onto Sion's chest.

If it wasn't for the fact he was on the receiving end of the move, he'd actually applaud Makie's quick execution. However since he was the one taking both knees to the chest all Makie got out of was something that would get beeped out if any particular network did that sort of things. Despite the pain he felt upon impact, he managed to turn and shift towards one of the neutral corners while holding on to his chest.

Seeing the reaction on Sion's face gave Daisuke a thought, one that she knew if she stuck to it she could put an end to this if given the chance to do so.

The fact that Makie didn't impale her knees inside of Sion and that he was still moving, somewhat, allowed Lina not to feel that it wasn't over just yet, but the look of panic on her face became more noticeable.

Makie grinned as her slingshot over the top ropes did the trick, allowing her to drive both of her knees hard into sion's chest and crush him, hard, against the turnbuckle. As the other wrestler slumped against the turnbuckle, Makie stood up opposite him, brushed her hair back, and flashed a V-sign to the crowd. "LET'S GOOOOOO~!" she shouted, getting her fans riled up as she prepared for a big move.

Grabbing a hold of Sion's arm, she would whip him across the ring towards the opposite ropes, before running off after him. The moment he came bouncing back, she would duck under his arm and try to leap up onto the top rope, hoping to springboard off of it and come down at Sion with an elevated splash! If all went according to plan, and Sion didn't manage to land some sneaky counter, then she would be able to smash him hard into the mat and batter him down further...

Makie's team had their supporters, so did Sion's. Both were vocal for their respective side throughout the bout, though Makie was wanting to get hers behind her some more. The opposition's weren't quiet, even if Lina was. One could be heard clearly by Daisuke and Lina saying "I believe in you Sion!" With that last move did no favours for lost momentum on their end, but hearing what she did from that one fan did lower the look of panic she was showing, though she knew Sion wasn't out of trouble yet.

Sion however couldn't hear the fan support that was coming his way, still feeling Makie's knees when she made her way to him and "assisted" him back to his feet. As Makie was able to whip him across the ring, Sion got a kick up, though there wasn't much behind it and it could be easily blocked or caught. If Makie reacted to to the leg coming her way, Sion would jump up and with his other leg aim to strike Makie in the side of the head with an enzuigiri.

Sion seemed pretty woozy now as Makie grabbed for his arm. The cheers of the crowd was invigorating her, filling her with the energy she needed to win this match. Pulling on Sion's arm, Makie moved to whip him towards the ropes, wanting to keep her newfound momentum going...

...only, as Sion spun away from her, for his leg to suddenly lash around and upwards, her opponent expertly turning his momentum into one big kick. Alarmed, Makie brought up her arms, managing to catch Sion's kick mere inches from her face...and too late, realized that this was exactly what Sion wanted.

Sion's other leg suddenly swept up, his boot hammering her in the side of the head. She gave a sudden cry and released him, dropping to her front as she lay in facedown on the mat, moaning as she kicked at it slightly in a daze...

Both Makie and Sion were down following the what could be seen as a coming out of nowhere maneuver. Call it luck, call it intended, call it instinctive, call it whatever you want, the end result is the same no matter how you slice it, effective. Sion took Makie down with him, now it's a matter of if that keeps her down long enough for him to Daisuke in. Lina did not to say anything as she sees him looking in Daisuke's direction. Now that Sion had a chance to get to her, Daisuke better be ready to get in there, which she was before the enzuigiri landed.

Lina pounded on the part of the canvas that was on the outside part of the ropes from where she stood, while Daisuke gave a few slaps against the top turnbuckle in the team's corner. Still favouring where Makie got him not long ago, Sion manages to get back to his feet and heads towards Daisuke. Lina watches this, and takes a moment to see if Makie is close behind or not. Sion doesn't look back at all as he was focused on making said tag, and if Makie didn't catch up to him in time he'd make the tag clearly before dropping in the team's corner as Daisuke quickly steps through the ropes and back in.

"Makie! MAKIE!" Kyo shouted from the sidelines as Makie lay facedown on the mat. "Get up!" His sister made no response, however: Sion's sudden enziguri had gotten her good, rattling her skull hard and leaving her stunned on the mat. All around them, the audience was going wild, as Sion ran over to the other end of the ring and made a tag that could decide the match once and for all.

Makie was oblivious to all of this however, as she slowly got her knees up underneath her, gingerly pushing herself up to her ands and knees, and then her feet...rubbing her head as she tried to get her bearings straight again...

Daisuke came in hot of the tag, sticking to what she thought of before Sion got to her. As soon as she was completed inside the ropes she ran towards Makie, aiming high to continue where Sion left off with a lariat with Makie's name on it.

Gingerly, Makie pushed herself to her feet, her vision still a little fuzzy after taking that enziguri kick straight to the head. Wobbling a little as she stood up, she heard a series of loud footfalls behind her, and spun around instinctively...

...just in time for Daisuke's outstretched arm to collide with her generous bosom. She cried out as the blow slammed hard into her, and she was blasted off her feet and sent crumpling to the mat. The impact left her breathing hard as she cradle her chest with one arm, now on a serious back foot after Dai's explosive entrance.
