This is officially the closing of the suggestions, mostly since no one seems inclined to give me anything to work with. It will be Noble and Rio, then everything else goes from there. No more wrestlers are introduced.
Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!
Noble Rose came from a platform lowered from the ceiling rather than the ramp like all the rest, leaping down and landing in the center of the ring. Malcom takes advantage of the brief distraction to grab the rope near him. Moe tsks before letting him go. "I'll get you next time." she muttered
Malcom grinned. "Noble, handle Hagiwara. Moe is all mine." he ordered. Noble nodded and moved to engage the ravenette in the ring.
Moe dashed for her opponent. "Don't underestimate me!" she shouted.
"Wouldn't dream of it, Speedster!" Malcom replied, meeting her advance. The two began trading blows again, their speed increasing with each punch and kick.
Meanwhile, Sakura dropkicked Noble, knocking her back a few steps. Noble recovered fairly quickly and swung her fist at Hagiwara, knocking her onto the mat. The purplette tried to grab her opponent's leg, but Sakura kicked her away before rolling to her feet. "I'm not that easy to take down." Sakura stated, rushing the rose for a clothesline. Noble ducked under the attack and wrapped her arms around Sakura's middle before German Suplexing her. Sakura gasped in pain as her vision went blurry. Sakura struggled and managed to get back to her feet.
Noble took advantage of the dazed state of her opponent, Lifting Sakura from behind and falling backwards, slamming the ravenette's head into the mat.
"And Noble Rose unleashes her Crimson Harley! Hagiwara must be in a world of pain!"
Sakura laid where she landed while Noble got onto one of the corner posts. "It's time to put you to sleep. Noble Phantasm!" Noble called, leaping to execute her Lethal move.
Sakura smirked as she rolled away, Noble landing hard on the mat. "Now it's my turn!" she taunted, wrapping her arm around Noble's throat and squeezing, wrapping her legs around her opponent's waist to prevent escape. Sakura squeezed the Sleeper Hold tighter.
Meanwhile, Moe managed to get a hit on Malcom's jaw, causing him to stagger before he attempted a grapple with her. Both struggled over the other, and Malcom whispered, "So tell me, Gift or Sacred Gear?"
Moe's eyes widened in shock and Malcom twisted her wrists, putting enough effort to flip her onto her butt before pressing his knee against his opponent's back and applying pressure, crossing Moe's arms over her neck to be safe. "I-if you really want to know then it's a Gift. Sonic Strike." Moe managed to say. Malcom smirked and let the girl go. Moe collapsed onto her stomach, gasping for breath before feeling someone sit on her back and two hands under her chin. Malcom lifted the girl's head and locked in the Camel Clutch.
"Things are looking bad for Noble Rose and Fukuoa. Both are in a brutal hold and can most likely not even draw a breath."
"You're good, Speedster, but my Battle Supremacy Sacred Gear makes me better one-on-one like this." Malcom whispered in Moe's ear. "I can add your strength to my own, that's how I've been ahead so much in this little event I put together."
Moe, hearing enough and starting to turn red from the hot breath of her peer on her ear, started struggling to get free. Then she felt her foot brush against something and smiled, extending it as far as possible and giving her a rope break. "That's a nifty trick you told me about, but my Gift makes me two times faster than my opponent. Know what that means?" Moe asked, getting to her feet.
Malcom nodded. "Yeah, it means both our speeds are going to keep increasing until our bodies can't handle it anymore." he stated. Smiling again, he rushed Moe, "Just means I have to take you out before that point!"
"That's my line!" Moe replied, meeting the charge.
Sakura was struggling to hold Noble still as she flailed about, doing anything possible to loosen the Sleeper. This isn't working. Gonna have to try something else. she thought, releasing the rose wrestler and standing as Noble rolled away. Sakura tried spearing her, but Noble evaded before it made contact and Sakura bounced off the ropes, running right into Noble's Clothesline and ending up on her back. Noble rolled Sakura onto her stomach before sitting on the ravenette's back and pulling her legs up, bending back to lock in the Boston Crab. "OWWWW! Damn that hurts!" Sakura wailed. The ref came over and asked if she gave up, but she replied with a pained wail of "NO!"
Noble let the girl go after a while. "You are strong, I commend you." she stated as Sakura stood, nursing her aching back.
"You're not so bad yourself." Sakura replied, straightening out and getting back into her stance. "But there's no way I'm losing this fight."
"Well spoken, Hagiwara." Noble said with a smile before becoming stern-faced again and charging. Noble threw a punch at Sakura, who deflected it and dropkicked her opponent before body slamming the rose.
DING DING DING!
"And that's the two minute mark. Now please welcome our next and final contestant, rival to Sakura Hagiwara and one of Berserk's Veteran wrestlers, please welcome Rio Kazuma!"
Dixie didn't show after all, shame. Malcom found himself thinking as he dodged another of Moe's punches.
Well, that's this chapter. Now it's a question of who will come out on top? Will it be Malcom? Sakura? Moe? Or maybe Rio? The answers to come next time on Battle Gears.
