Wrestling with equality (for Caroline)

When Daisuke got knocked down Lina gestured towards Sion to enter and to bring Caroline back into place. Sion came back inside and per Lina's instructions grabbed her by the hair would look to pull her towards the corner. Kayura watched on and could tell Sion wasn't liking this, but she had a feeling Lina knew what she was doing.

Kayura took a look at Sion and Daisuke as Dai went to stand back up, which Lina would climb up the apron and seeing Caroline in the corner she would reach around Caroline's neck and begin to choke her. Kayura asked Sion what was going on and he said he's just following instructions. Kayura could see what Lina was doing and as much as she wanted to do something about her she didn't get involved.

Just like Kayura, Kelly too had a feeling Lina knew what she was doing, plus she was studying the reactions of her son and his spouse in addition to Caroline over all. Lina would eventually let go and hop back down and Daisuke would look to follow up on Lina's assist and looked to put Caroline in a bow and arrow submission.

Even if there was a point to how roughly Lina was treating her newest client, Caroline of all people wasn't giving her the benefit of the doubt, not while she was getting beaten up. She tried to escape the corner before someone caught her by the hair. “Ahh!” Caroline yelled, feeling her scalp burn intensely as Sion pulled on her long locks. She couldn't help but stagger back into the corner; her hair was so long that she couldn't even find his hands when she reached up to try and dislodge his grip.

A gloved hand seized Caroline by the throat, making her gag as she tried in vain to replenish the oxygen in her lungs. She knew it was Lina doing it, having seen the woman's fancy looking gloves back when she'd still had her glasses on. She relented on Sion and allowed him to hold her by the hair, preferring to try and pull the arm off while she snarled angrily at her manager.

Both of them let her go when Daisuke got back into the fight. Caroline got taken down to the mat and felt her legs being folded up behind her. Whatever hold Daisuke was setting her up for, Caroline was too hungry to get in her own offense to let her finish it. She planted both arms firmly on the mat and used them to propel herself forward, aiming to untangle her legs and move just far enough away that Daisuke wouldn't be able to grab anything else. After that, she hustled to get up as fast as possible. Anticipating another attack, she hooked her hands together and thrust both of her arms backward, looking to catch Daisuke with a hard elbow strike to the ribs or face.

Even the Caroline's elbow strike connected with Daisuke up high, the way it felt when Daisuke took appeared to make Dai angry. While it wasn't something she would usually do she felt the need to yell at Caroline...more like she was roaring at her before firing a punt like kick to Caroline's...area below the belt to put it nicely. If that kick managed to find its mark she would lift Caroline up and position herself behind her and give Caroline and overhead german suplex, throwing her in a way that the landing could very well be a rough one.

Lina could tell something in Daisuke was changing a bit and while she figured Dai would be fine part of her thinks there's been enough action. If Daisuke's move connected Lina would gesture for Caroline to be finished off.

Caroline's elbow hit something bony, and when Daisuke screamed, it sounded like the strike had really hurt her. By the time Caroline realized that she was just angry, and fully capable of retaliation, she was already feeling her insides knot up when Daisuke's foot came up and crashed into the soft spot between her legs. “Ough!” Caroline groaned, coughing and sinking to her knees. For a girl that had never been hit low before, the pain was almost unbearable. Her crotch was on fire, but everything else from her head to her hips felt like it had taken a punch as well. Feeling like she needed to barf, with her legs turned to rubber, Caroline couldn't put up any defense as Daisuke lifted her up for another slam.

The devastating suplex went off successfully. Caroline hit the mat with her upper back, going as far as to flip onto her stomach when Daisuke drilled her into the canvas. Trembling, Caroline tried to will herself back up, but failed with how badly her body ached. Daisuke had free reign over her, for whatever she had in mind. As for the trainee, her pride was as hurt as her body. She had hoped to do more than just get beaten up this match, but maybe she would have to wait for her rematch with Jesse to do better...

Daisuke noticed what Lina was trying to tell her and nodded, agreeing that there's been enough for today and moves in to hopefully finish this one off. Moving closer to Caroline, Daisuke would grab hold of Caroline's legs and apply a sharpshooter. There were a number of options she could have went with but it was the first that came to mind. If Steven attempted to break it up Sion would rush in and look to stop him from doing so.

To her embarrassment, Caroline whimpered a little when Daisuke lifted her legs up and folded them in preparation for the same hold that Sion had used on Steven earlier. The sharpshooter was an agonizing hold, and Caroline fought tenaciously to stop Daisuke from turning her over. Daisuke was stronger and less exhausted than her, though, and before she knew it, she was on her stomach. It didn't take long for her to start screaming.

“Ahh, noooo!” Caroline shouted in a panic. Pain rippled through her back, and her tortured legs felt like they would break off. She held out for a few seconds, pawing at the mat in a final attempt to crawl toward the ropes. Her body begged for it to end, and Caroline was soon forced to heed its pleas. She pounded the mat with one hand. “I give up, let me go, please!”

Despite Caroline's resistance, Daisuke managed to get Caronline to turn over and lock her in the move. Lina watched closely to Caroline's reaction and saw her trying to hold on before eventually tapping.

Kelly saw this too and since she was near it she rang the bell and called out tjat it was over. Upon hearing both the bell and the verbal announcement Daisuke leg go of the hold and backed away. Sion would do the same, that is if he wasn't completely tied up with Steven. Either way Daisuke would move closer to Caroline again, leaning down and asking if she was alright. Lina slid in the ri to check on her as well and both would offer her assistance to stand back up if she wanted some.

Caroline's body was hurting almost as much as her pride. The low blow, the hair pulling, the brutal submission, and everything else that had happened weighed heavily on her. Her face was bruised and stained by a trickle of blood, and her every joint ached and throbbed. She was vaguely aware of movement around her, but she was too dazed to accept the help of the others. She tried to get up on her own, pushing up onto her hands and knees, groaning with each movement.

It had been another harsh training bout that felt every bit like a real match, but this one had been a little too much for her. Her adrenaline rush had dissipated, and exhaustion soon caught up with her. She moaned in pain one last time, feeling dizzy, before collapsing back onto the mat. Everything around Caroline faded to black, and within a moment, the beleaguered girl had passed out in the same face down position she'd ended the match in. While her overtaxed body would rest, it fell to the others to figure out what to do with her.

They stayed with her for a while though things became concerning when there wasn't much of a response from her.  Daisuke looked very concerned even though Kelly guess after checking out her out that Caroline would be alright.  She tires to assure Daisuke that Caroline will be alright, though she asks Sion to help bring Caroline back to her place.  Sion agrees to that and tells Daisuke he'll let her know how she's doing, and for Dai to go back to their kids.

It was kind of awkward timing as Jesse had to get going, but she too wanted to know if Caroline was going to be alright.  As Kelly told Daisuke and Sion it didn't look like she would need major medical attention, but would keep a close eye on her, that and feels she deserves somewhere decent to sleep for a chance, knowing that Caroline's been hanging around here at night.

When they got to the house, Wes and Sion helped Caroline inside.  A girl, who was a few years younger than Sion, noticed them come in.  Before she could say anything Kelly mentions it's nothing to be concerned about, at least not from what she can tell right now.  Wes and Sion stay near by as Kelly gets some food ready for everyone.  With how the afternoon went everyone could use some right about now.
