Triple Tag Team Mayhem!

Toshio gritted his teeth as he felt Haruka prying at his fingers. Slowly but surely, his grip on Haruka's chin was weakening. He had to admit, he was impressed at Haruka's endurance-- not only was she withstanding his camel clutch, but she was also fighting back!

The moment his hands came free, however, Toshio would retaliate, slamming a forearm down against Haruka's back before standing up and walking to her side.

Haruka was not knocked back down and continued to lie facedown, perhaps reserving her strength for a better chance to retaliate. Midori was shouting across ring for Haruka to fight back while Daisy just coldly observed and shook her head as if not impressed by her tag mates so far.

Seeing Haruka still facedown, Toshio grabbed her by the arm, moving to drag her to her feet. If he did so, then he would move to swing her towards the ropes...only to spin his body around, slamming his arm against her throat for an up-close clothesline.

Haruka would get pulled up but as she was about to be clotheslined, she would try to duck and get behind Toshio grabbing him around waist.

Toshio cursed as Haruka ducked his clothesline and grabbed him around the waist. Not wanting to be hit with a back body drop or any similar move, Toshio suddenly dropped down to his butt. As he did so, he reached an arm back, hoping to grab the back of Haruka's head to drag her down with him so that her chin would crash against his shoulder.

Haruka hit by this counter and she would stagger all the way to a neutral corner, nursing her jaw.

Stepping back up, Toshio wiped the sweat from his brow as he moved after Haruka. Not wanting to give her time to recover, he would send a hard kick up at her midsection or back (depending on the direction she was facing).

Haruka leaned on the corner nursing her jaw. As Toshio moved in for the kick she would go to quickly move to the side to dodge.

To Toshio's surprise, his kick missed Haruka completely, instead striking the empty corner post. Cursing, he reacted quickly, using his momentum to spring by his foot off the corner post around into a ready position facing Haruka.

Haruka then went for the standing dropkick at his face.
