Hardcore Tag Battle!

Isabella had the will to fight back as well as the knowledge of how she could turn the fight back into her favor but her body just wasn't responding to her anymore, at least not quickly enough for her to slow down the onslaught from River. She had been in the match for too long and she knew it, not the easiest thing for the proud woman to admit to herself but the evidence was too overwhelming for her to ignore it any longer. She had to make a tag, soon, but she had to break away from her overeager opponent to do it.

Luckily for her she couldn't be beaten outside the ring and River had to pause in her attack to drag her up, Isabella acting like a dead weight to make her work for it as the woman hauled her up and pushed her back into the ring. She rolled in like the woman wanted but as River went to slide in she turned her body and sent a kick towards her head, a desperation move certainly but not one that lacked for power.

Her partner had thought similarly to her it seemed, dropping down to deal with River, and Isabella would push her body to crawl towards the corner so she could reach up and tag the woman in.

Styx had been so wrapped up in the unmitigated joy of beating the piss out of Isabella that she'd alsmost completely forgotten about one of the most important things in tag matches: there are two opponents to worry about. Multitasking was never Styx's thing.

She grunted and fell as Kaede came screaming back into the equation and introduced her shoulder to the barricade. Bones crunched. Tendons flarred. Styx fell to her knees as she cluthced the spot of impact and pure rage filled her eyes. "Fucking...bitch." She started to haul her way back into the ring, knowing she'd have to get through Kaede and her judo skills before she could take a break. And she was fresh out of Black Tar, too. Shit.

Slapping the hand of Isabella as Kaede was officially back in the match. Her face still had some signs of the black tar that was spat in her face, her eyes still burning a bit as she climbed into the ring while Styx crawled back into the ring. Since she had thrown Styx into the barricade shoulder first, it became her target of pain, quickly racing over to Styx with a barrage of stomps aimed for that shoulder while holding the top rope.

If her stomps connected, Kaede would follow up by placing her left foot on the second rope to catapult herself into the air where she looked to drop a knee on Styx, looking to buy herself some time. Simple punching, kicking, and slamming wasn't just right for what Kaede wanted to do to her as she would slide out of the ring, kneeling on the floor and lifted the apron.

She needed assistance in her endeavors.

Styx couldn't really complain about the stomps to her shoulder - if the positions were reversed, she'd likely be doing the same thing, with gusto. That didn't make it any less painful, though. If anything, it made it worse. Like it was karmic thing, coming back to bite her square in the ass.

She let out a string of curses after every hit, and it all culiminated when Kaede came down hard on her back, hammering her into the mat. "Fuck!" She croaked the word more than she spoke it, as the blow seemed to rearrange all her organs in a much less pleasant position. The only silver lining was that Kaede seemed to want to take a break, checking under the ring for more party favors and giving Styx time.

She forced her way up on all fours and started to crawl across the ring as fast as her battered body would allow, trying to reach Odessa for a tag.

Shuffling through the underside of the ring, searching for a suitable weapon to deliver pain on to Styx, Kaede was looking for something that would fit her means of revenge for the black tar she took earlier. Passing over a chair, which was brutal and efficient, but did not suit Kaede's means as she then reached for a kendo stick. Fast, compatible for many usages, and a quick stinging pain.

It was perfect.

Looking up into the ring with her weapon, Kaede saw Styx crawling back towards her corner and reaching for a tag. It was unacceptable to lose her chance to deliver painful vengeance upon Styx as she would slide back into the ring, quickly heading to Styx as she brought the stick up to whip it across Styx's back.

Styx swore, she was going to find the lame motherfucker who came up with this idea for a match and ram something sharp, large and thoroughly unpleasant up his ass. This was quickly turning into the most all-around irritating day in her life, and just to cement that notion, she looked over her shoulder in time to see Kaede coming her way with a kendo stick. Lovely. "Ah, fuck-"

She cried out in pure pain as the blow came down hard on her back. She hated crying out like that. So weak. So puny.So not River Styx. It dropped her flat on the mat for a moment, before she started to push up again and reach a weak hand out to Odessa, crawling even slower than last time. Close. Just a few more feet.

Odessa had watched the match unfolding with interest, as her partner took on Isabella with ferocity. By all accounts, Styx had done well for herself and for her team, but when Isabella tagged in Kaede, the unfortunate fact was that Odessa's partner could not keep up. Kaede had had a while to rest, and she showed it, quickly subduing Styx, even causing her to cry out loudly in pain.

Odessa was going to get into the ring and even the playing field. She was fresh now, after a long recovery period following her last tangle with Isabella, and she was itching to get back out there. As her partner reached for her, Odessa would reach through the ropes, stretching out her arm as far as it could go, just getting a hold of River's fingers. It was enough to get Odessa in the match.

Hopping through the ropes, Odessa would rush at Kaede, hoping to take her by surprise with a sudden attack. Odessa would try to grab onto the kendo stick, grappling for it with Kaede, but taking it from her opponent wasn't her goal. If Odessa could get close, she would swing her head forward, trying to smash her white-haired skull into Kaede's face.

THWACK

Kaede loved the sound of kendo stick on flesh, the sound echoed throughout the arena and most importantly in Kaede's ears as she stood over Styx. Such an addictive feeling it was to inflict pain on another person Kaede enjoyed the feeling a bit too much as it gave Styx and Odessa enough time to make a tag. Now Kaede was dealing with the other fraction of this equation that she hasn't dealt with yet as Kaede was preparing to swing the kendo stick to greet the new opponent.

However Odessa had other ideas when she grabbed the stick and engaged in a tug of war with Kaede. Grunting and groaning as she refused to let the silver haired wrestler take her weapon, Kaede was blind sighted by the head butt as her head snapped back. "Guh!" Kaede let out as she released the weapon to stagger back as her hands went up to her face.

Turning around as she would look at her hands, she would see that she wasn't bleeding as a frown curled on her face. How dare this woman end her fun like that as she turned around...

Odessa was no stranger to the headbutt, but whenever she attempted it against Isabella they both ended up with a headache. Isabella's partner was new to Odessa, though, and wasn't all that familiar with the ebony beauty's style. Odessa was going to finish Kaede off and win this match with the perfect mixture of glamor and brutality.

Kaede staggered back, clutching at her face. In the process, she had let go of her kendo stick, inadvertently giving it up to Odessa. The British woman would look down at the weapon in her hands for a few seconds. She really didn't care much for weapons in a wrestling match. But if she already had it in her hands...

Odessa would prepare herself as Kaede began to turn back toward her. When the woman was finally looking back at her, Odessa would swing the stick like a bat, trying to slam it into Kaede's face, just underneath her chin, plowing the wooden weapon upwards in a brutal uppercut-style maneuver!

THWACK

Another echoing shot from the kendo stick as it blasted Kaede in the chin. This time the sound was not so endearing to Kaede as her head whipped back from the shot to the chin. Falling on to her back, Kaede's head was spinning and her mouth stinging as she pushed herself up to bring a hand up to her mouth, the hit caused her to bite her lip as she felt liquid dripping from her mouth. Looking at her hand, it was blood.

Although not a lot of blood compared to other vicious shots, it was blood none the less as Kaede began cursing herself for letting go of the kendo stick because of the headbutt. She's taken far more wicked shots to the head before and kept on fighting. Rolling on to her stomach, Kaede began crawling towards the ropes in an attempt to pull herself back up, however halfway there she decided to start pushing herself up with her arms and legs, slowly getting up to a kneeling position.
