SS 16 Thunder Round: Akiha Kosha Vs. Gabbie Desjardin Vs. Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt Vs. Belinda Northman

The raven hair was still gasping for air when she suddenly heard Gabbie starting to speak about eliminating her. Her heart would sink, she was now going to get double teamed and be the first one eliminated in this event. She didn't want to lose this event like she had lost in Avalanche. This was her chance to redeem herself and now she was going to be the first person to be eliminated? Her only hope at the moment was that if Belinda decided to turn on Gabbie for some reason. Yet this was not the case as Akiha hair was pulled by her rival, forcing her to get back on her feet.

Tilting her golden curled head upward whilst groaning mumbled verbiage to go along with it, Gwen herself eventually would find the strength to recover from what was the second missile dropkick she had been plastered with that night. The running joke had run it's course and Gwendolyn was feeding off her own swelling irritation to groggily climb back to her hands and knees, the heiress spying the ring around her to get a grasp of where her standing in the match officially was.

"Hm?..." Gwen curiously scanned her surroundings with a raised eyebrow only to find everyone else huddled off on the far distant side of the ring. While she was partially grateful for being given the time to recoup, the fact that the heiress was disregarded as the lesser threat at the moment compelled her to prove both Gabbie and Belinda wrong. Something she needed to act on post haste since her fellow aristocrat was once again in dire need of her timely assistance. Gwen scowling at how her partner was continuously incapable of saving her own bloody self...

Shoving herself off of one knee, Gwen steadily approached the younger Northman from behind. Keeping herself out of view as much as possible before simultaneously leaping up and hooking her arm around Belinda's neck from behind. The heiress briefly remained airborne before falling back down to the canvas and slamming the back of Belinda's head to the mat in the process with an attempted jumping reverse bulldog.

Belinda was just about to try and throw her rival over the ropes, moving her hand down to grab at Akiha's outfit and start to try and lift her rival up. It felt kind of bad that she was about to beat Akiha in this kind of way, Belinda had kind of hoped that her and Akiha could last to the end and have a great battle...though now it seemed as if that was not going to happen.

All of a sudden though she felt an arm around her neck, her hands left Akiha to move up but before she even managed to move her arms all that much she was pulled down and the back of her head smacked hard into the mat with a heavy thud. " Gyaah!" Belinda yelped out in pain at impact as her body flopped down from the reverse jumping bulldog...her hands moved up to cup the back of her head and protect and hold it. The young blond had forgotten about Gwendolyn for quite a while...becoming too focused on Akiha....it seemed as if had cost her quite dearly right now.

Gabbie had helped Belinda carry Akiha over to the ropes and began the process of lifting the haughty Japanese girl up and over when Gwendolyn came in and blindsided her temporary partner. Gabbie's teeth flashed as she watched Belinda get driven into the canvas.

She was left with the unfortunate task of holding Akiha up by herself and her hands slipped around to cradle Akiha. Gabbie winced at the awkwardness of it, with one hand snaked uncomfortably between Akiha's legs. Her instincts were to continue to throw Akiha over but it might take more than a second to dump her and by then Gwendolyn could be coming after her.

She was also a bit off Balance, so she retracted her grip and simply let Akiha drop where she was and quickly turned to face Gwendolyn, ready to pounce and take her out once more.

Akiha was not being lifted. This match had not been going well for her and soon she was going to be the first one to be eliminated. She wanted to win this, she wanted to turn her career around. Then when suddenly everything seemed to be over, Gwendolyn came in and took out Belinda, forcing all of Akiha weight on Gabbie. It seemed that her Canadian opponent could not at the moment hold all her weight and as a result, the Japanese wrestler would fall back down on the ground. It seemed like she was still in the match, perhaps she could win it all.

She could now see Gabbie focusing her attention on Gwendolyn. Deciding this was the perfect chance to turn things around, Akiha would attempt a quick low blow, attempting to disable the Canadian wrestler. If her attack worked, she would attempt to get to her feet before attempting to turn Gabbie around and hit her with a clothesline in hopes of sending her down to the ground.

As opposed to the last time Gwen was presented with the decision of whom to center her well-deserved aggression, the heiress wouldn't need to strategically deliberate in her head or weigh her options carefully. The curly-haired aristocrat immediately stalking the lesser Northman and implanting the back of her head against the canvas with thunderous authority. Gwen's chest still ached from Belinda's missile dropkick and was an irksome reminder that she needed to teach the blonde that her blindsiding actions had consequences...

"Hmph~..." The noble aristocrat clapped non-existent dust off her hands as she stood back up once more, smugly smirking down at Belinda's languishing form before turning her attention back towards Gabbie. The dojo lackey having just unceremoniously plopped Akiha back down before setting her sights on Gwendolyn. Gwen's eyes quickly darted between Gabbie and the encroaching aristocrat behind her, the heiress tilting her head innocently with a wholesome smile and her hands folded behind her.

"...*giggle*...I must say, dear Gabrielle, I was beginning to feel outright offended at how you and your companion here have continously underestimated my capabilities by turning your back to me twice now. I'd humbly advise you to be more aware of whom the bigger threat in the ring is, and that it could strike at any moment~..." Gwen eloguently uttered, spinning her verbose tale to keep Gabbie distracted...

"Don't call me-"

As Gwendolyn spoke, Gabbie's retort was cut short when a stinging fist drove between her legs. Her eyes widened and instead of words, a sharp yelp followed what she had began to say. Her eyes crossed briefly and she stumbled forward, her hands going between her legs.

Before she could even drop to her knees, she was spun around and staggered for a dizzy moment before Akiha's arm crashed against her modest chest and sent her crashing back down to the canvas. She writhed and rolled away from Akiha and Gwendolyn, one hand on her chest and the other between her legs while her face remained scrunched in pain.

Maintaining her wholly innocent demeanor took some degree of willpower from the haughty aristocrat, Gwendolyn resisting the urge to glance behind Gabbie once more before her distracting charade paid off in dividends. Gwen winced with one eye from the sight of Akiha's bicep plowing directly into Gabbie's womanhood, subsequently followed up by a clubbing clothesline that landed the pummeled dojo lackey directly at Gwen's feet. The heiress' smug smile never having left her immaculate visage as she stared down at Gabbie's writhing form.

"-Gabrielle. Yes, I'm quite aware of your preferences~..." Gwen poshly finished Gabrielle's statement before the dojo lackey would retreat pathetically off to the side. Allowing her to do so with the utmost confidence that she had been neutralized for the time being, Gwen approached the languishing but not forgotten Northman sibling. With one hand clasping tightly onto her blonde locks and the other firmly tugging her up by the waist of her outfit, Gwen would bring Belinda back up to her feet but hunched over herself and facing the nearby ropes.

"Care to lend a helping hand once more, Madam Kosha?" Gwen requested of her raven-haired associate. If Akiha were to indeed assist in eliminating Belinda, Gwen would also take a running start and attempt to fling the lesser known Northman over the ropes for the first elimination of the night.

Belinda was down and felt rather woozy after that bulldog she had taken, her head spun as she groaned and rolled over onto her side, her hands moving up to cup the back of her head. Unaware of all the happenings or even really of what had happened, she figured it was probably Gwendolyn whom had attacked her as she couldn't really think of anyone else doing it.

It wasn't long either before she was grabbed by her short blond hair and her wrestling trunks...moved up towards her feet all hunched over as the blond struggled weakly, placing her hands against Gwendolyn's hips to try and push her away, though she was lacking any real power at the moment since her brain was practically swimming in a stormy sea.

A smile would appear on Akiha face as she saw Gwendolyn making a distraction. Taking a second to get onto her feet before striking the blow between Gabbie's legs, immobilizing her opponent for a few seconds. Not wasting a second, Akiha would turn her Canadian opponent around before taking her down with a clothesline. It felt good to take down the arrogant Gabbie and it seemed that Gwendolyn also felt the same way.

“Of course, I can't let you eliminate her on your own. She is my rival, it is only fitting that I play a part in it.” stated Akiha as she would also grab onto the opposite side of Belinda in response to Gwendolyn request. If she could, she would then attempt to throw her arch rival over the top ropes with the help of her blonde haired associate. Hopefully, this would eliminate her rival and then Gwendolyn and Akiha could focus on Gabbie and get rid of her. Then Akiha could have the rematch she secretly wanted against Gwendolyn without having to worry about anyone else interfering.
