The Carnival Girls (Satsuki Bino and Amelia Nagatoshi[D]) vs The British Bunnies (Chelsea and Molly Forster[D])

[FinyBoy]

While the Bunnies were busy getting themselves re-situated, Amelia was getting back to her feet. After Satsuki was done giving the ref a piece of her mind, she turned her attention to her partner and asked quietly: "Think you can keep going, Amelia?"

"Yes, I believe so" was the reply. It was short and to the point, but Amelia made it clear she wasn't going to get bogged down. "OK, but if things get dicey, you know I've got your back!" While it seemed like they were going into a never-ending carousel of near-falls and interference, Amelia knew Chelsea had really been rocked with that last hit. For the time being, she hoped it would be enough to keep her out of the action. Now, they just needed to put Molly away before then.

Of course, Molly still had plenty of fight left in her. She made that perfectly clear as she charged the pink girl with a clothesline attempt. This time, there would be no attempt to dodge. Instead, as soon as Molly got in range, Amelia would look to block the blonde's arm with her hands and turn the move into a single-arm chicken wing! If that worked, she would attempt to grab Molly's other arm and turn it into a double-arm chicken wing! She was hoping that if all of that worked, she could use this hold to go for a chicken-wing German suplex! Assuming all of this even worked out, of course

The time it took Chelsea and Molly to return to the corner to recuperate and plan their next advance gave a much-needed pause in the action, which up to this point had been nonstop chaos, with none of the four women in the match being able to gain much of an advantage over each other. But after the two teams had the time to catch up on each other, Molly wasted not a second in charging back into the action, prepared to land a blow.

A confident grin crossed Molly's face as she charged in against her foe, particularly when she saw that Amelia wasn't even making an attempt to get out of the way. It would seem that she would be able to get her strike in without a hitch - but her attitude would quickly shift when it became clear to her that Amelia had been plotting this entire time. Molly let out a gasp as she felt her arm wrenched behind her, causing her to cough and gag with her balance teetering under her weight. As she was bent around to face away from Amelia, the pink-clad girl would be able to catch her other arm and bend it back likewise. Now faced with a difficult situation as the pressure built up, Molly was forced to fight back with the only means she could imagine being at her disposal right now, as she tried to throw a kick behind her. But with the awkward position she was being held in, even if it did hit, it would likely not be at its full force, and it was looking like Amelia might well be able to carry out her plans!

Amelia had Molly hooked up in that double chicken wing, ready to go for a ride. This wasn't going to end well for the blonde. She even sent an awkward kick back to try and prevent disaster. She managed to hit Amelia in the shin, but the girl in pink preserved, determined not to give up the advantage she had over her opponent right now.

Then, with all her might, she pulled upwards, looking to put the blonde on her head hard. However, halfway up, her body gave out from exhaustion, instead of launching Molly backwards, she instead threw her off to the side. The Brit would still land on the back of her head, but it would be no where near as devastating as if the move actually went off. "Urgh..."

Now both girls were laid out on the mat. Amelia was panting heavily, doing her best to roll herself over and get back to a vertical base. Her movements were quite slow, though. Both Satsuki and Shaina were shouting encouragements to the downed girl, egging her to keep going and not to give up. Both were watching the action like hawks, anxious to see what would happen.

[CaptainL]

Molly hoped that she might be able to save her own hide by throwing a kick back to disrupt the throw, but she also knew it was going to be a gamble to get it to work. At the angle she was in, her foot could only reach so far to impact against her opponent's body, and she wouldn't have the right amount of force behind it, so she was left to go up in the air, wincing through her teeth as she finally felt her feet left the ground. At this point, Molly was sure that she was in trouble now.

But salvation would come to her regardless, as when the moment finally came for Amelia to drop her, she would have to break the hold off prematurely! Molly fell to the mat with a shout as her head hit the canvas, bouncing upward from the strike. Although she had to reach behind her head to try and rub out the pain, Molly was still able to think straight, and she rolled herself up on her side, egged on by Chelsea's encouragement, as she too called out to her sister from the sidelines.

Slowly but surely, Molly worked herself back to her feet, shaking her arms out as she did, but she quickly got back into a stance as she locked eyes with Amelia. Molly could feel that she was starting to tire out, and she knew she couldn't hang on for long, but she still had to win this for her team! She had a plan, though. If she couldn't pull forth a victory herself, she would leave it to her sister. She would just need to distract Amelia long enough for her to go for a surprise attack. But she would start to get her into position, trying to ignore the ache in her back that caused her to move with a noticeable stoop. Holding her hands out to box Amelia in, she started to close in on her, giving her a few jabs and knee strikes. Not all would hit, nor would they all really be intended to. What mattered was that she could get Amelia in her corner, where her partner would be able to pull out a sucker punch from behind!

[FinyBoy]

Amelia got to her feet again after she botched the suplex. She felt a little embarrassed by that screw up, but more than that she was concerned about what Molly might be able to against that kind of botch. Finally getting to her feet, she locked eyes with Molly. She could tell that the blond hadn't suffered too much damage with that move, as if that wasn't obvious already. She needed to keep on the offense!

However, before she could do that, Molly struck first. She sent a few jabs and knee strikes towards the tall girl. Some hit, some didn't. For how late in the match they were, Amelia didn't quite understand why she was going for such an erratic set of attacks. Little did she know, that was the point all along! As each attack came in, Amelia backed up to defend against them. Each step brought her closer and closer to the Bunnies' corner. Before she knew it, she hit the turnbuckle and was boxed in.

To make matters worse, she felt a sharp blow hit her from behind. "ACK!" Chelsea sent a solid sucker punch into Amelia's back, causing a nice-sized bruise to appear on her backside. The ref had completely missed it, since there were two wrestlers obscuring the view. However, there was someone who didn't miss the cheap-shot, and who was fed up with the British Bunnies constantly breaking the rules.

Shaina hopped up onto the apron and started screaming at the ref to open her eyes and look at the cheating that was going on. This blind oaf needed to be set straight, or else she was going to cost the Carnival Girls another match to the British Bunnies. At first, she came over and began to admonish Shaina for getting up on the apron despite not being in the match. They then began to argue, which would give the blonde girls plenty of time to cheat as they please. The arguing would last a good 8-10 seconds before finally, Shaina got the ref to turn around and look in the direction of the Bunnies and Amelia.

[CaptainL]

Everything went off without a hitch, Molly thought. She had been able to steer Amelia over to the corner, and right into her sister's waiting fist. As she watched Amelia deflate from the impact, she was sure that this would be exactly what she needed to even the odds. If Amelia was just as sore as she had been left, then the setbacks Molly had gained from absorbing Satsuki's signature move wouldn't be as bad.

The crowd erupted in boos at the sight, in disgust of the two Englishwomen's flagrant disregard for honor and sportsmanship. Chelsea, however, wasn't bothered. She had free reign to unleash her fury on the now-stunned Amelia, as she followed up her punch with a few more before she moved to grab Amelia by the head and bend her back towards the turnbuckle to throw some knees into her back. Molly couldn't help but cheer at the display. "Yeah! You go, sis!"

"Kekka it, Moll, like! Yer gon'ta give us away!"

"Oh, sorry..."

Luckily, the Bunnies' banter with each other would be drowned out, both by the boos of the audience and the fact that the referee was currently in a pitched argument with Shaina. Eventually, though, the latter would pay off, as finally the ref girl looked back at the scene before them. Chelsea saw it too, and in that instant she froze, easing up her ruthless assault on Amelia as she tried to step away towards the corner. "Yous didn't see nut'n!" she insisted, waving her hand. Molly would be quick to corroborate on that. "She says that she didn't do anything, miss-!" she said, rather unconvincingly.

[FinyBoy]

Chelsea and Molly had gotten caught red-handed. To make matters worse for them, Molly didn't do the greatest job in sounding innocent enough. The ref made her way over to the Bunnies and finally Shaina thought justice will be served. Instead, she found out that this ref was the most spineless person on the planet. Despite clear evidence of cheating, poor excuses, and a history of suspicious activity, the British Bunnies had once again got off with just a warning.

That's it. That's the last straw. I'm sick of these two getting away with everything and paying no consequences. Shaina got down off of the apron and stomped around the outside of the ring and over to the Bunnies' corner. Once there, she started screaming at the two cheaters. "LISTEN HERE YOU FILTHY CHEATERS..." She was lecturing them and accusing them of a whole list of things, none of which they would be able to understand, since she was talking so fast. Molly may have been able to catch a few words here and there, but it would be nothing she hadn't already heard the other two girls and the ref say already.

However, Shaina's goal wasn't to change their ways. All she wanted was to get their attention long enough for Amelia to get out of there and make the tag to Satsuki. As Shaina continued to chew them out, Amelia would try to make her way back to her own corner, looking to tag Satsuki in.

[CaptainL]

Hearing the ref step in, Chelsea and Molly fell silent. Their plot to undercut the Carnival Girls and secure a victory was looking to be a sure thing, up until this last moment, where it all came crumbling down around them. The thought of being thrown out of the ring entirely crossed Molly's mind, and she bit her lip in worry - but Chelsea glowered to the ref, forcing her to step back and only offer another warning. The crowd was getting even more incensed with this, and the boos were growing louder, but Molly breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she thought, they might still stand a chance, as she shared a quick glance at her sister to try and figure out how they would set up their next play...

That was, until Shaina cut in, spewing a stream of invective that neither of the Forsters had ever witnessed from her before. For a moment, they both stared in her direction, eyes wide. Then they glanced back at each other, then at Shaina again. Amidst all the commotion, Chelsea leaned closer, whispering for her sister to interpret for her. "Wha' 'de 'ell is she sayin', like?"

"I'm...actually not sure," Molly whispered back. She tried to glance back at Shaina, but she could hardly keep up with the girl's words. But what neither of them noticed was that in turning to each other in the confusion, neither was keeping an eye on the opposing team...

[FinyBoy]

The distraction worked like a charm! Shaina kept yelling, even after the tag was made. Amelia staggered over and slapped Satsuki's hand, making the tag-in official. However, before Amelia could slip between the ropes, Satsuki stopped her. "Wait! Help me out first. I think it's time we ended this... together!" With a nod from her pink-clad teammate, Satsuki got into the ring and helped Amelia up to her feet. The two girls set themselves up poised and ready right behind Molly.

The ref girl, who had seen Amelia make the tag, had now turned her attention back to Shaina, and was getting close to ejecting her out of the arena. However, that wouldn't be necessary, as soon a smile came across Shaina's face. It was one the people here hadn't seen before. It almost looked... evil... At least, for a split second it did, before Shaina trained her eyes on the legal Bunny and said, "Hey, Molly, I think I see something behind you..."

Indeed, there was something behind her. Two somethings, actually. Specifically, two girls primed and ready to double super kick her in the face the moment she turned around!

[CaptainL]

With their eyes focused on Shaina, neither of the two British girls knew what their opponents were up to. Shaina had needed to pull through in the end, risking it for her team, but her gambit went off without a hitch, as the Forsters didn't suspect a thing. Chelsea watched the referee a bit nervously, knowing that thus far in the match she had danced dangerously close to getting a disqualification, and she wasn't sure if this would be what would push it over the edge. Shaina certainly seemed like she wanted it to.

Amidst all the shouting, however, Shaina finally said something Molly could make out, and she turned her attention back towards the red-haired woman. "Huh..?" she muttered. Still confused, Molly began to look back over her shoulder in the direction indicated. "Behind...me..?"

And right then and there, it all paid off. As soon as Molly had seen the Carnival Girls gathered behind her, she was poised to take the blow straight into her face, as two boots slammed hard into her chin. With a scream, she went flying back off her feet, landing flat on her back in the center of the ring.
