3 v 1 match SEME vs James Justice

James easily flew off of Ryuu and grunted a little, laying on his stomach. He slowly began to get up when suddenly, he felt a knee press into his back and force him down to the mat. He groaned and thrashed about for a little before his arms were pulled back and he began to cry out in pain. He reached a foot out behind him to see if he could possibly reach the ropes to force a rope break on the hold.

Hearing James cry out in pain cued Ryuu to transition to an even more painful version of the hold. Rather than using his knee, he placed his boot in James's back so that he could stand. From this angle he pulled on James's arms and his chest began to lift off the mat, putting new pain into the male's lower back as well. Ryuu wasn't looking so he wasn't aware that James might be trying to reach a rope with his legs, he was instead focused on only stretching James to the breaking point.

James stretched his foot out when suddenly, he felt his opponent's boot on his back and his arms pulled back even further. He screamed in pain and continued reaching his foot out until he got the bottom rope. The ref girl came in to break up the hold, but if he held it, she would start counting him out until he let go.

Ryuu kept yanking back on James arms hard as he could, intent on doing damage that would haunt him for the rest of the match. His actions were cut short when the ref began to slap at his arm and count him out for the rope break, which seemed a total surprise to Ryuu. If he was going to be forced to give up the hold though, it would be on his own terms.

Ryuu gave James one final yank up from the mat and then released his arms as he stomped down with his foot as hard as possible in order to curbstomp him.

James cried out a little longer until the hold was released. Once he fell back to the mat, he slowly began to rise to his hands and knees, but he never made it. Suddenly, his head was jerked upwards and brought crashing down to the mat. He lay there, out cold and groaning softly as he lay spread eagle on his stomach.

Another resounding wave of "oooohs" of second-hand pain swept through the audience after that brutal curbstomp left James facedown on the mat. This time it really didn't seem like he'd be getting up, but Ryuu wasn't about to get burned again. He grabbed James by the hair and hauled him to his feet. He forced the male's head between his legs and then reached down to grab James's lower half. He took a few steps with James in hand towards the middle of the ring, there wasn't going to be any rope breaks to save him this time.

"Lights out" Ryuu taunted before jumping into the air, and then piledriving James's head directly into the mat. Ryuu goes for a different kind of pin this time, rolling James onto his back and then sitting just behind his head. He lets his knees rest across James's forearms to pin them to the mat and then takes a leg under each arm in a variation of the sitout pin.

ONE!

James remained under him after the vicious piledriver and curb stomp. He didn't even open his eyes or groan after his head was driven into the mat. He just lay there, all folded up in the pin as the ref dropped down to count him out, her hand rose and fell the first time, but James didn't respond. Her hand rose and fell a second time.

TWO!

THREE!

The bell in the arena began to ring signaling SEME's first pin and step toward victory, as well as Ryuu's final triumph against the spunky James. He released the boy's legs and pushed up to his feet off of him. He had to give him credit for getting back up after the things Ryuu had done to him, even if it was incredibly annoying to sit through.

Technically for the most part his part in the match was over. He had scored his pin over James and now he didn't really have to do anything, though he could get tagged back in. He supposed if one of the other two was to get pinned, he might have to fill back in to get SEME's third pin, but he wasn't expecting that.

Hikaru was practically bouncing up and down and begging Ryuu to tag him back in as the giant returned to his corner. Ryuu looked directly at Hikaru with a slight grin as he tagged Mitsuru's waiting palm and switched in with her. Hikaru complained loudly as Ryuu pulled the ropes apart to give Mitsuru an easier time getting into the ring.

"Patience, Hikaru. You chose to tag out, don't complain now because you dont like your choices" Mitsuru chided as she put her hands on her hips and looked towards James.

In the meantime the referee would be checking on James, making sure he was conscious and ready/able to continue.

S.E.M.E.    - 1
James Justice - 0

James slowly began to awaken when he suddenly heard the third slap on the mat and the bell sound. "Shit." he thought to himself when he got to his hands and knees, spitting up a little blood, but shook his head, "I'm fine." he told the ref and coughed a little, remaining on his hands and knees, "Shit really hurt though."

"Awake then?" Mitsuru asked with a smile, stepping forward to the center of the ring. Unlike her teammates, it was a cold day in Hell when she lost her calm or got anxious. She knew to watch James's movements carefully, to not take silly chances to show off, and most importantly how to finish things in as little energy as possible.

"Your move" she told him as she settled into something resembling a karate stance.
