AV 17 Hardcore Title Triple Threat: Navi Florges v Silver Ace (c) v Juno Lane (c)

Navi didn't know whether Ace was going to attack with her. All she knew is that she had to make sure the French Beast couldn't recover...

...which, as it turned out, wasn't possible, as right when she attempted to swing her fist upwards for an uppercut, Juno would launch her head forward, ramming it straight on the bridge on Navi's nose!

"GAAAAAAAAAAH!", the French blonde screamed out, falling backwards on the mat from the thunderous impact!

Her arms went straight to her nose as she attempted to sit up...

...right as she felt a tiny stream of blood trickle down her nose as she sat up...

Silver Ace stayed back, eager to see just how this encounter played out before she made her move...and jesus christ. That headbutt sounded sick.

For a moment, Ace almost wanted to go check on Navi...at least until recalling her intense disliking of the woman. More importantly though, Juno seemed dazed from her own headbutt, giving Silver Ace a rare opening to strike! She charged in, similar to Navi, only, having seen what happened to her, the Canadian went down low, trying to grab at Juno's legs and trip her up!

Juno didn't regret the headbutt. Not at all. It may have been the most painful thing she'd done all match, but she didn't regret it. The woman's scream even made her smile despite the agony going off in her head. The impact of skulls not only made Navi bleed, though. It also busted her own face which had a little bit of blood running down her forehead. Both women were bleeding now as when Ace started her attack. She went low to try grabbing Juno by her leg to trip her up...big mistake...

Out of instinct, the beast would lift her leg up as the woman closed in on her. That way, she could land a knee strike fright into Silver Ace's face! Even if she succeeded, though, Juno wasn't going to be able to stand any longer. She was reeling from the headbutt, and would fall on her ass no matter how this turned out as a result.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuck...", Navi let out, as the pain in her nose did not disappear, and blood started to gush to the blonde's upper lip, practically forcing her to taste her own blood.

Her eyes went wide as she saw Ace attempt a similar trick:

"Are you that fucking stupid?!"

Although Ace's strategy was slightly different, the result was the same, as Juno nailed the silver-haired woman in her face with her knee, with a sickening thud!

Still preoccupied with her own damages, Navi couldn't get up to her feet, helplessly watching as her frenemy against Juno fell...

*SMACK*

Ace's own attempt ended much like Navi's, getting a hard smack right in her face for her trouble, causing her to stumble back, falling down onto her ass, right next to Navi, holding her own smashed and bleeding nose, letting out a small whimper as she rubbed and patted at it.

Once she was sure it wasn't broken, she looked over at Navi, her new frenemy, blinking a few times before speaking. "Sooo...maybe we should team up?"

Juno managed to drop a second opponent as her knee strike dropped Ace just like her headbutt dropped Navi. Soon after, though, Ace proposed a team up to the blonde french bimbo. Yeah...Juno was definitely going to let that happen...especially when she was in control...

"Hey! This isn't some superhero movie where you can team up and beat the bad guy..."Juno growled as she walked over, grabbed Ace's battered form, and lifted her straight to her feet with one hand on her throat. "If this has to be some nerd shit, though...pretend that this is a game...a game...called God of War...and I'm about to do to you...what Kratos did to Hercules!"

Despite calling it nerd shit, Juno technically was a fan of the God of War series. She barely played any games at all, like ever, but that one appealed to her. So with her fist pulled behind her back, Juno would get ready to bash Ace's skull to pieces just like she had promised.

"YOU THINK?!", Navi would loudly exclaim at Ace's casual comment after she was kneed right into the face by Juno.

Even if she was angry in her response, Ace was the only way she was going to deal with Juno in this match...

...right as Juno stepped to Ace to grab her co-champ by the throat:

"Oh f..."

She cut herself off, there was no time. While Juno was coming up with an allegory to beat up on Ace, she had to think of a way to save her frenemy in the match...

...and figured the most direct one would be the best one, leaping into a rush and running straight at Juno, aiming her shoulder for the woman's gut for a Spear of her own!

Ace was really more of a Sonic fan actually, God of War was too bloody for her taste. But it was hard to actually speak, or breath for that matter, with Juno's ham sized fist clenched around her windpipe.

"Grrgkle!"

Was all that came out instead, the co-champs legs kicking as she hung in the air, choking for a few seconds...before she was dropped, landing on her butt with a squeak as Navi saved her!

Juno was really close to pounding Ace's face into a puddle. Like, unbelievably close. However, of all the people in the world, the one to save her was the blonde bimbo that hated her guts. That didn't stop Navi from spearing Juno to the ground, though. Honestly, the beast couldn't understand why in the world the bitch would go after her before she pummeled the co champion. For whatever reason, though, the blonde woman's shoulder knocked the air out of Juno's belly and drove her to ground feeling pretty worse for wear.

"You...Bitch!!!" the animal growled out angrily as she gripped her stomach in pain. She'd need a few seconds to recover now, which meant Juno was once again in trouble as she tried to shove Navi away with one arm and roll out of the ring. Hopefully Juno would escape, but the woman would not be happy either way since she once again had to retreat. Something she hated doing with every fiber of her core.

The shove forced Navi onto her rear, but aside from a grunt, the blonde would get off easily.

In fact, the attack brought more good than bad as Juno rolled outside of the ring. The blonde quickly leapt to her feet, and, glancing at Ace, would offer the co-champ a hand to help her up:

"Alright, no backstabbing one another until Juno is down an out on the outside. Then I can beat you to a pulp to win the belt", Navi would explain, glancing at Juno once more, before an evil glint shined in her eye: "Up for a dive?"
