Sarah O'Sullivan and Tia Baker vs Mia Kay and Rythm Rhyme

The best Tia could do was watch and hope the advice wasn't going to end up with her teammate going into a bad spot. Still she stayed on her toes watching how things were unfolding ready to take some kind of action if it was required of her.

"Crap." Tia cried out seeing how this was looking. With Sarah's momentum telling her to just stop wasn't going to work. The best she could do was jump down and start running around the ring hoping she would make it in time.

Sarah gasped out as her shoulder slammed partially into Mia, but only slowing herdown a little bit. It wasn't nearly enough to stop her momentum and she knew that. Despite trying to slow herself down she couldn't stop the charge as she moved between the ropes starting to fall outside of the ring.

"Crap!" Tia cried out as she tried to make it in time. She figured the sleepy partner wouldn't get in the way so her focus was on timing it properly. Luckily Sarah was falling in a pretty good angle so she could just barely get under her and both girls collapsed onto the mat.

"Geeze I said go low not spear yourself out of the ring." Tia groaned luckily it wasn't a bad landing other than her rear being a bit sore.

"Well it seemed better in my head." Sarah groaned a bit off from how the match was going so far.

"Clearly. Well I suppose something this odd counts as a tag. Take a few minutes and I'll head in." Tia knew it wasn't time to make a big deal about things. They still had the same opponent to deal with. With that Tia would try to slip back into the ring to take over.

All the while as Sarah and Tia were talking, Mia had already gotten back up on her feet, she watched as they made the strangely unoffical tag, swapping opponents.

As she watched the two closely interact, she couldn't but feel frustrated at her own partner. Sparing her a glance, she looked like she was still half asleep. But then, before she could say anything else, Tia had slipped back into the ring.

Senses acting up, she knew there would be time to scold Rythm later.

She had a match to win.

Taking the intiative, she ran towards Tia head first, with a feint, she had no actual plan at all, other then to stop in front of her, and await her reaction for a counter.

It certainly wasn't the smoothest tag that Tia could imagine, but at least she was in this match and had her shot. The most important thing in her mind was to get some shots in and avoid another chaotic mess. At least it didn't seem like her other opponent was eager to take her shot in this match.

Focusing down she waited for Mia to make her move. When watching the last exchange Tia knew she had to be cautious in her moves. Not knowing if the move was a feint or not Tia just had to attack. Deciding to go for straight forward damage she stepped forward even as Mia was running at her hoping to catch her with a cross punch to the face. Her left arm stayed up in the guard as her right went for the strike.

Thankfully, Mia had stopped just in time before she got into reach of Tia's fist.

Still because of it, Mia simply reached forth and pulled Tia towards her where she attempted to headbutt her before wrapping her arms around her for crushing bearhug.

Mia maybe of the Kawaii division, but she was no pushover when it came to strength.

Tia had a frustrated look when her strike just didn't quite make it to Mia. It was a great chance for her to get a shot into this, but in the end it failed to work.

The strike missing put her in a spot to be grabbed and felt their skulls crashing together. Tia had been called a hard head, but she figured both of them were feeling sore from that impact. Though her head hurting was a far away thought when she felt the arms wrapping around her and squeezing.

Gasping out as she was getting squeezed, but not willing to just lose here.

"Come on Tia." Sarah called out, feeling a bit better since she had the ability to rest.

Tia groaned not ready to go down this easily. She tried to pull back one of her legs and launch a knee right into Mia. She wasn't just going to get squeezed out like that.

Mia let out a small cheer in her mind when she managed to trick Tia into a premature attack. And another when her headbutt connected.

Granted it did hurt her as well, but hey that was what headbutts do, their double edged. Still the attack had provided enough of a distraction to Tia to allow Mia to grap her in a bearhug.

"Success!" She told herself as she heard Tia wheeze and gasp from her attack.

For a moment she continued to keep this position, not wanting to lose it. But just then, Tia made her move and slammed her knee into her exposed tummy. (She was wearing a bikini after all)

"Uff..." her eye's shot opened, and all the breath she was holding in was forced out violently.

The sudden striker almost broke the hold over her, but thankfully she managed to keep Tia in the bearhug, although her grip was loosened. Still she persisted and tried making her way to Rythm for an assist, before Tia kneed in her stomach again, she didn't think she could hold out much longer.

Tia of course wasn't even close to cheering or celebrating with how the match was going at this early stage. The damage she had taken wasn't anything to laugh at even if Tia considered herself fairly sturdy.

There was a victorious cry in her own mind though when that knee connected and knocked the wind right out of Mia. It was a shock though when the knee didn't end up freeing her from the grip.

Tia groaned as she felt them moving towards the other corner. If Mia got a tag assist Tia didn't want to think about what might happen to her. She knew nothing about Rythm but she had to be at least helpful in doing serious damage if tagged for an assist. Tia tried to swing in another knee as quickly as she could not knowing if she'd make it in time or not.

Mia was almost there to Rythm when Tia smashed her knee into her tummy again.

"GUh..." She coughed out violently as she pushed Tia backwards a bit.

Already worned out from the first knee to her stomach, the second one, easily broke the bearhug. Still at least she was able to push her off to Rythm. So that she could tend to her stomach.

Still Rythm for once did something Mia could finally approve off. And that was holding Tia back by her arms when Mia shoved her towards her.

Rythm maybe a sleepyhead, but when it came to raw power, there were few that could match her.

She had more strength then her minature size had to show, and she was going to prove it, by easily restraining Tia by the arms.

If Rythm could hold out long enough, Mia would take advantage of it to punch Tia left and right across her cheeks senseless. Or until the ref grl broke them apart.

Tia had hoped that her knee would get her moving away from either girl and give her a chance to get her head on straight. Getting the knee in on Mia was a positive feeling, but it didn't quite go as she hoped.

Stumbling backwards after the shove she gasped in surprise when Rythm actually grabbed onto her arms. She hadn't really thought the girl would do more than just lounge in that corner for the whole match.

"Gah...."She groaned and tried to yank her body free from the hold. "Come on Tia!" Sarah was calling out though there wasn't much she could do about this. Even with the cheering Tia couldn't feel herself getting anywhere with trying to yank her arms free.

There was nothing she could do but close her eyes when Mia started to throw punches right into her face. Pain rocketing into her as she felt her whole head becoming dazed.

"Come on, break that up!" Sarah called out knowing Tia wasn't going to hold out for long against a sustained assault.

Mia was taking advantage of the situation beating Tia in the face up. Punching her left and right across her cheeks, she looked on in glee as her face snapped left and right none stop each time her fists smashed into her cheeks.

However all good things came to an end when the ref girl grabbed her by the back of her arm. "That's enough both of you, stop this now before I disqualify both of you!" She warned them.

Letting out a reluctant sigh, Mia dropped her fist and Rythm silently released Mia by her arms, letting her fall.

But Mia quickly taking advantage of that moment faster then the ref could see, shot forward and smashed her fist into Tia's chin for an uppercut.
