WAS2 Reunion TAG Team Match (Eclipse vs Mars & Mercury)

Megumi looked up in surprise when the ref stopped the count. She looked around and found Rei's free leg just barely hooking onto the bottom ropes. She shook her head incredulously, wondering how Rei summoned up the strength of will to break this pin. She turned back around to look at Rei, but before she could she got clocked hard right in the face. Megumi's head was knocked aside, the pin broken as the idol got knocked off Rei, dazed for a moment. She blinked, seeing stars. Chigusa was bouncing in the corner, yelling at Megumi to get back up. The red-clad idol did so slowly, grabbing onto the ropes and slowly pulling herself onto her feet.

"Incredible," she said, "She managed to break out of that..." She had some newfound respect for Rei. But that wasn't going to stop her from beating this team.

Megumi reached down and grabbed Rei, pulling her up by her arm. "Tag your partner in," Megumi said, "I don't want you hurting yourself any more."

Rei's entire body was now aching, her head was dizzy, she manged to sit up after she manged to get Megumi off of her. Hikaru's tears turned to smiles seeing Rei being able to make it back to her corner.

"W-well as long as you're done with me...for now..." Rei said as she was unexpectedly helped onto her feet. The girl was on shaky ground, trembling as she stumbled over to her corner head down weary from the damage she sustained. She walked over to the corner and then swing her hand to tag Hikaru in but, instead slapped Chigusa's forehead.

"Huh?" Rei said looking up as she realized the crowd was laughing. She just realized, she had walked over to the wrong corner. The purple haired girl's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She quickly ran to her own corner tagging Hikaru who face palmed herself with a sigh.

Entering the ring, Hikaru shook her head, "What a partner I have indeed."

Getting into a wrestling stance, she slowly confronted Megumi.

Megumi let Rei stumble off, but when the girl went in the wrong direction she frowned and wondered what was going on. Chigusa stood in her corner as well, confused, until Rei literally walked up to her and "tagged" her in by slapping her across the forehead.

"Ow! What was that for?" Chigusa said, rubbing her head. Rei seemed to wake up from her daze then as the crowd laughed and Chigusa glared at her. Megumi shook her head. She should've just dragged Rei over to her corner instead of leaving her to her own devices, it seemed.

Hikaru now stepped into the ring, and Megumi settled into her fighting stance as well. Thanks to Rei's tenacity, the girl had quite a bit of time to rest, and was probably completely fresh now. Megumi was feeling pretty tired and sore from fighting Rei. She wondered if she should tag Chigusa in, but decided against it. She would fight Hikaru for a little bit just to see how good she was.

"Alright, you ready Hikaru?" Megumi asked, "Because I'm going to go all out on you!" With that, she charged forward, attempting to swing a quick chop at Hikaru's chest to knock her back into the ropes!

Rei sulked in her corner as she had done something so embarrassing, she was so ashamed. Hikaru was just so glad the episode was over so, they could put that embarassin scene behind her.

Hikaru nodded, "I think so..."

The blue haired girl engaged Megumi as her charge caught her off guard as she was slapped against the chess as the sound echoed across the ring. She hissed reeling back to use the ropes to support herself as she winced with one eye open. She waas unsure of what was coming next to she instinctively blocked her face expecting some sort of strike while she was against the ropes.

Hikaru was right to try and protect herself. Megumi was going to press her advantage, after landing that chop to Hikaru's chest and driving her back. It was a little odd to her that Hikaru didn't manage to block or counterattack, but it didn't matter. Megumi didn't think Hikaru had much of a plan anyways.

With Hikaru against the ropes, Megumi prepared to step in and muscle through her defenses. With her face blocked, Megumi paused for a moment and took the next best option. She grabbed Hikaru's hands, trying to pull her forward off the ropes and attempted to knee her in the gut.

Hikaru grunted as Megumi took her arms as she plunged her knee into her stomach. She groaned as the piercing pain nearly made her want to go on all fours. To be honest, Hikaru was far too concerned for Rei's safety to think of to draw up a plan which she desperatly needed. Coughing in pain, Hikaru would double over and would try and tackle Megumi by her hips to try and take this fight to the mat not wanting to stand up with her opponent. However, winded by the knee, she didn't quite posses her full strength or speed when going for the take down. Hikaru cursed herself as she just blindly rushed in, instead of thinking it through.

"kuso!"

Megumi seemed to wind Hikaru pretty badly with that knee. The blue haired girl was doubled over coughing and in obvious pain, but she counterattacked quickly, ramming herself into Megumi and driving her back. Megumi grunted in surprise when Hikaru hit her. She didn't go down, but she was forced back as Hikaru plowed into her. Megumi decided to back off and take a short break to recover herself. She was feeling pretty winded as well, though it wasn't from taking a really big hit. Both her and Chigusa had been swapping in and out with only small breaks in between, and Megumi was starting to feel the strain.

"You've got to try harder than that!" Megumi said as she moved in to lock up with Hikaru once more, after taking a few breaths.

"Alright...how about this?"

Hikaru gasped taking a breath for herself as she got into a fighting stance. Fighting her opponent head on didn't seem like a good idea especially since Hikaru was a tad stronger than her. However, she wondered if her condition had affected her strength. Hikaru locked up with her but, she would send a low inside kick to the other girl's inner thigh, the one that Rei put pressure on earlier trying to target her opponent's weakest point before trying to force the other girl down hoping that kick would weaken her base.

Megumi pushed against Hikaru, pitting her strength up against Hikaru's strength and trying to shove her back. However, a sudden pain shot up her leg. Megumi's leg buckled and she fell down to one knee after Hikaru kicked her thigh, hurting her wounded leg and making her fall. Falling down wasn't good, now Hikaru had the high ground advantage and she bore down on Megumi from above. Megumi gritted her teeth, trying to push back and stand back up against Hikaru's strength. But it was a hard fight, and Hikaru was quite strong too.

"D-dammit!" Megumi grunted, "No!" She couldn't believe she fell into this situation against Hikaru!

"Now...Now... Megumi... you have to try harder than that..." Hikaru teased as she "over powered" Megumi with a calm composure.

Hikaru smiled as she manged to get the other girl down to one knee, she saw too much effort in trying to crush the other girl's strength until she was on her back. The blue haired girl wound up her leg again this time to smash her kneecap into the other girl's face trying to knock the brunette onto her back. Hikaru smiled, it turned out Megumi wouldn't pose much of a threat at all to her. Perhaps, this match was already theirs? If she did mange to get Megumi onto her back, grabbing one of the other girl's leg she'd turn Megumi onto her stomach and mount her lower back attempting to put her into a camel clutch!
