East vs North: Akamatsu Siblings vs Northman Siblings

Makie breathed heavily as her head was grabbed, the pain in her back still raw as she was pulled upright. Her body swayed as she staggered up to her feet, red-faced as she found herself still too weak to fight back. Even though she had been starting out great against Michael initially, the Northman boy now had the upper hand.

Her face reddened even more as her shorts were grabbed, and, past the haze of pain, she dimly realized what was going on. Maybe Kyo's distant shouting had something to do with it, but either way, Makie's reaction was the same. As Makie's lower body was lifted off the mat, she grabbed the back of Michael's legs and kicked her own legs sharply, aiming to shift her weight downwards and reverse the hold to slam Michael, head-first, into the mat after spinning him over her shoulder.

Micheal though that he would be able to slam Makie back down against the mat, though what he though he would be able to do and what happened was totally different, for as Micheal went for the suplex it was all turned around and before he knew what was going to happen his head was slammed down hard into the mat. " Ghnk!" Michael let out as his head made a hard impact with the mat.

Things had been looking so great for Michael up until now and there wasn't much that he was able to do now as he was slammed down like this. He laid on his front, groaning in pain as Cecilia stood there in their corner and shouted of Michael to make his way back to her and tag her in. " Come one Michael! Tag me in !"

After nailing Michael with that surprise DDT, Makie lay on her back, her chest rising and falling slightly as she caught her breath, draping a forearm over her head. This match was beginning to take its toll on her, and as much as she wanted to win against Michael, she suspected that it would be a better idea to go tag Kyo in. After all, Kyo was probably waiting anxiously on her, and she could hear Cecilia shouting for Michael to tag her in as well. She didn't rate her chances very highly if she had to have another bout against the Northern Queen.

Taking a deep breath, she rolled away from Michael towards her corner, slapping out at Kyo's extended hand. "Go get e'm," she said wearily as she continued to roll under the ropes.

Kyo nodded as he slid into the ring. "You did great," he said, giving his sister an appreciative smile.

"When don't I?" Makie replied in a weary grumble as she eased herself out of the ring in a standing position, still recuperating slightly.

Turning his attention back to the ring, Kyo saw that Michael was still down. He waited to see what he would do-- whether he would go to tag his sister in, or if he would try to keep fighting. Either way, Kyo had no intention of attacking the younger Northman while he was still down.

Michael groaned a bit as he looked on at the floor and then turned to look out at the crown and then around to look at Cecilia, she was jumping a bit and leaning over the ropes and held her hand out towards her, Michael would soon push himself up to his feet looking over to see that Makie had already moved out of the ring and tagged in Kyo. The Flame of Courage was not all to well tight now and with that she was in a rather difficult position.

Kyo was a good opponent and more than that he was someone that Michael doubted he could handle on his own at least as he was now. His head was throbbing and the world felt as if it was all woozy and shaky, " I...I ...Kh.." Michael let out as he would slowly move into a fighting stance and look on at Michael. Cecilia would stop shouting for a second, knowing what this meant and would then lean down against the ropes as she would watch her little brother.

" Go get him Michael!" Cecilia shouted out to encourage her little brother, as she would then raise her hands up into the air and start clapping, looking around at the crowd as she would start a chant for her little brother. " Michael ! Michael ! Michael !" With that the crowd slowly started to chant for Michael and it pick up the pace more and more as she would keep it going, hoping this was encouraging Michael enough.

Kyo raised an eyebrow as, instead of tagging in his sister, Michael stumbled up to his feet, ready to keep on fighting. It was painfully obvious to Kyo that Michael was in no shape to continue, and that the most logical conclusion would have been for him to go tag Cecilia. But despite all of that, Michael was still making a fight of it. To his own surprise, Kyo found himself clapping along with the audience, impressed by the younger Northman's fighting spirit.

As Michael got back up to hi feet, Kyo circled him cautiously. He looked a lot less dangerous than Cecilia, but he knew from watching him fight Makie that he wasn't to be underestimated.

Michael raised an eyebrow as he watched how Kyo started to clap and would look a bit confused, wondering if it's a sincere clap or if it was a sarcastic one, he didn't know for sure but he also decided not to dwell on it, doing such a thing would only serve to distract him. Michael would slowly start to circle Kyo as the older and bigger guy did to him, the Flame of courage knew very well that Kyo was good, very good, probably better than Makie, but that doesn't mean that he would lose to him, he had to try if nothing else.

Seeing Michael starting to circle him, Kyo seized the initiative, darting forwards as though to lockup with his opponent. At the last minute, though, he would shift to the side, grabbing at Michael's wrist, and, after sending a sharp knee into his midsection, would twist on his arm to flip him over onto his back. Although he had every intention of taking Michael seriously as an opponent, at the same time he didn't want to spend too much time fighting him. Deep down inside, Kyo wanted to resume his battle against Cecilia.

Outside the ring, Makie leaned wearily against her turnbuckle as she watched the battle unfold. "Don't break him too much, Kyo!" she called. "You don't want to upset his sister!" This last comment was accompanied by a teasing wink at Cecilia from across the ring.

Michael eyes Kyo as he started to come in closer and the second the guy moved in he would jump back, but the Kyo came at him again and reach for his wrists. Though as he did that there was a chance for Michael that the kid would take, quickly he would attempt and shoot his foot up attempting to use the hold Kyo had as leverage for him to jump up and attempt to send a sharp high kick straight to the side of Kyo's head.

" Don't be worried about that Makie! Michael can take care of himself. And I'll have my time with little Kyo, gotta show him who's the boss around here." Cecilia said as she flashed a grin over to Makie and then towards Kyo.

Just as Kyo managed to grab onto Michael's wrist, the boy displayed some surprising agility, twisting around to snap a kick up at Kyo's head. Taken aback, Kyo was unable to dodge in time, and Michael's boot slammed against his temple, sending him spinning sideways, blinking dizzily.

"Nnnnh...not bad..." he mumbled, spinning around to face Michael again as he did his best to ignore the dizziness that the kick had left him feeling.

Michael dropped down on one foot and then brought the other one down after he had hit with his kick, looking on at Kyo for a few seconds as he said what he did, Michael would nod to Kyo and then say " Thanks. " As he dropped back down into his stance and would quickly try and go on the assault again.

Michael would quickly try and run up towards Ky and attempt to fool him with a faint fist towards his face, but he would instead spin around and throw his leg up in an attempt to try and nail Kyo with a Spinning heel kick instead. If there was any way for Michael to last this he would have to keep up his assault on Kyo and attempt to do some real damage to the guy.
