Jaeger Sisters & Audrey Hunter vs. Marzia Servelli, Astrid Ostberg & Michiko Shimizu - Six Tag Mayhem

[Arjuna]

Thrown onto the mat with a hip toss from Marzia, Cynthia would try to regain her bearing and get back up onto her feet, but it seemed that Marzia wasn't going to allow her to recover as she went towards her before hitting her with a hip drop! "Aughhh!!" Cynthia cried out in pain from the attack, and this allowed the Italian wrestler to roll her into a position where she was then subjected to a Boston crab.

"Aaahhhhh!!!" Cynthia cried out some more as Marzia put her in the submission hold. Closing her eyes tightly in order to endure the pain, the pinkette would try to drag herself towards the ropes, hoping to get herself a rope break. Due to her mother and sister being at the opposite side of the ring, she was unable to move towards them to tag one of them in. So, she had to make do with a rope break instead. Still, dragging herself towards the ropes seemed to be quite a hurdle for her, and she would have to endure the hold for the time being in her effort to secure her freedom.

[CaptainL]

Now that Marzia had at last regained some momentum for her team, she knew that she couldn't stop now. She wasn't going to back down, and she would prove to Cynthia that she wasn't scared - not of her, and not of her sister or mother either! She would go hard on the hold as quick as she could, trying to lock down as much pressure as soon as possible. The Italian's brow furrowed from the strain as she pushed with all she could muster to make it hurt, all while Michiko and Astrid cheered her on from the sidelines.

Marzia could feel Cynthia start to move from underneath her, and when she looked over, she could see that the pink-haired girl was gaining towards the ropes. Thankfully, though, the distance was still too great for a rope break to be viable, and Marzia wasn't letting up any time soon. "Oh...no you don't-!" she said gruffly under her breath, doing her best to keep up the hold.

[Arjuna]

Even as she dragged herself towards the ropes, Cynthia was still trapped in the Boston crab, and Marzia continued applying pressure in the hold. "Uughhhhh!!! Nggguuhhhh!!!" The pinkette exerted most of her energy to drag herself towards the ropes. She would certainly be left exhausted upon reaching the ropes, but at the very least, she would be free.

She would continue moving despite being trapped in the hold, showing her defiance to her opponent. Her pink locks were matted on her sweaty forehead as she continued exerting the last bit of her energy to move closer and closer towards the ropes. Her lower half felt like it was burning, and her arms ached from her trying to drag herself forward. But she would not stop until she achieved her goal.

"Nngghhhh... a-almost there..."

[CaptainL]

It had been an effort on Marzia's part to try her best and deny Cynthia the pleasure of escaping her grasp, but nevertheless, she couldn't last forever. As Cynthia dragged herself towards the ropes, the Italian's grip was also starting to subside as she succumbed to the fatigue of holding the position for a prolonged period of time. The more Marzia weakened, the easier it would be for Cynthia to come towards the ropes. And soon enough she had caught the ropes, forcing a break.

Sure enough, Marzia let go of Cynthia, stepping back from her. She stood up, stretching for a moment as she looked over her foe to assess her current condition. Even if she couldn't get Cynthia to tap, she was still considerably winded from the punishment she'd taken, leaving her worn down - and more vulnerable to whatever Marzia would do next. The only problem, Marzia knew, was that she would need to keep Cynthia from tagging in a teammate; given her greater fatigue she would likely want to seek help. But she wasn't going to let that happen, when Cynthia was already where she wanted her. Instead, Marzia started to close in, throwing an elbow towards her to try and keep her tied up.

[Arjuna]

After struggling for a while, Cynthia finally managed to reach the ropes, which gave her the much-needed rope break. Panting, she would pull herself up with the help of the ropes so that she could get herself back up onto her feet. For a while, she would lean against the ropes, hoping to regain some of her lost strength. She needed to at least recover some of her energy to fight Marzia back.

But, it seemed that Marzia wasn't keen to give her a chance to recover as she came over to her and delivered an elbow strike right to her face. "Aughh!!!" Cynthia cried out in pain as Marzia's elbow hit her, leaving her reeling, stunned and unable to attack her opponent. The Italian wrestler was given an opportunity to work on the pinkette while she was disoriented.

[CaptainL]

The elbow hit, and Cynthia was knocked back by it, leaving her staggered as she was boxed in deeper into the corner. Marzia nodded to herself, thinking that she had this under control. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. No need to worry, she thought; she would just take things slow, they would be manageable enough. The important part was keeping Cynthia where she wanted her, and away from any obvious routes of escape. And if Marzia could keep her in this place long enough, then she might have a chance.

Seeing Cynthia was still recovering from the blow, Marzia had another hit lined up for her. She'd need to inflict some more damage, but she had to be aware that the two of them were near the ropes - if Cynthia so chose, it wouldn't be hard for her to snag a rope break. Instead, Marzia would have to keep her arms controlled. So she leaned in to scoop Cynthia up, trying to pull her into a bear hug while holding down her arms in order to limit her motion.

[Arjuna]

Cynthia was disoriented from taking the elbow blow to her head, and she staggered back further towards the corner. Her hands started flailing, hoping to reach for the ropes in order to stabilize herself as well as to give herself a rope break. Still, due to her current state, she was unable to see Marzia closing in, and before she knew it, she was pulled towards her opponent, who then subjected her to a bearhug.

"Uuughhh!!" Cynthia groaned as her body was being squeezed in Marzia's arms. She started flailing and struggling to break free. "Guuhhhhh..." Things didn't seem too good for the pinkette at the moment, with her being both disoriented and trapped in the hold. Both her sister and mother were at the opposite corner, too far for her to reach.

[CaptainL]

As she held Cynthia close against her body, Marzia's heart began to beat faster and faster, her adrenaline suddenly kicking into high gear. She could tell that this could well be the deciding moment of the match - and a match that, just a moment ago, she wasn't sure if her team could pull through with, considering the devastating performance Audrey had had in the ring. But now, it was her team's turn. No, it was her turn. She had her opportunity, and she had to take it!

Marzia's arms gripped even tighter around her opponent's ribs, the Italian fighting to put forth all the pressure she could manage. Her teeth clenched and ground, and she could feel the sweat beading on the back of her neck, her whole body tense. With all her attention focused on this hold, the rest of the arena seemed to fall by the wayside as Marzia blocked it out. There was only one thing she was concerned with right now.

[Arjuna]

Cynthia was having a bad time at the moment as she was trapped in the bearhug by Marzia. She squirmed and struggled, but she couldn't get herself to escape this hold on her own. She considered delivering a headbutt, but hurting herself along the way didn't seem to be a wise move.

Meanwhile, Bethany was having none of this as she saw her sister being trapped in the tight embrace of her opponent. Knowing that she only had one shot at this, she would slip into the ring, rushing towards Marzia before the referee could register the fact that she entered the ring before hitting her right at her back with a forearm smash, hoping to make her release her sister from the bearhug.

[CaptainL]

With Marzia's attention being focused intently in on delivering punishment to Cynthia, she didn't even notice as Bethany entered the ring, and certainly not when she charged in to strike her in the back. The Italian's teammates, and the crowd, tried to call out to her to warn her of the incoming threat, but it was too late. Bethany's hit made impact, and with a wail of pain Marzia dropped to her knees, letting go of Cynthia in the process.

However, Bethany's entrance seemed to be an invitation to Marzia's partners, as no sooner had Marzia fallen than Astrid sprung herself over the ropes, landing in the ring to stare Bethany down. She wasn't going to take such an intrusion lightly - but now it was war. "Two can play at that game!" she announced, locking eyes with Bethany.
