"Are you idiots?! If we don't mount a comeback and win in the next 15 minutes, we're done! Keep attacking until you're dead! Go all-out, morons! You're strikers, aren't you?!" Raichi screamed as he held Isagi in a choke hold, needing to take his anger out on someone and he just so happened to be the closest. But his words did the trick, the team was most definitely motivated, as they reset eager to get underway.

"Guess they're not dead yet" Zantetsu said looking to Team Z, "One more goal, Akira Nagi. One more goal, and we can win this" Reo said looking to the two who nodded in agreement, one more goal to finish them off.

"Okay boss"

"Vamos"

The game was back underway, and Chigiri and Zantetsu went head to head the glasses teen was unwilling to lose a second time around, but the redhead was still faster. But made the fatal mistake of placing the ball in the path of Nagi, "I'll be taking this now, miss" the white-haired boy said yet before he could collect the ball, Isagi intercepted.

"Not this time, Mr. Genius. If you wanted it, you should've been here! Go, Chigiri" the blue-eyed boy said clearly still angry about their prior exchange, "Attaboy, Isagi. I'll give you a pat on the head later" the redhead praised as he went to take a shot, and missed.

"Aw, man!"

"It hit the post"

The ball deflected falling to Gagamaru, who was ready and waiting to pick up where his teammate had left off. "All right, I'll take it." And with that, he hit it but was met with Akira and Reo both putting their bodies on the line to prevent the ball from going in "Damn. You bastards" Gagamaru cursed, as the ball ricocheted to Kunigami, "We're not done yet, I'll crush you all!" and he finished the job off.

Team V 4 - 4 Team Z

With that, they were level once more. The game reset once again, as less than ten minutes remained on the clock "Go, Zantetsu. Counter" Reo yelled as Team V flooded forward, and just as the glasses teen had suspected he found himself facing off with Chigiri once again "I'm gonna stop you!"

"Too bad, little miss redhead. Right now, we have two geniuses who just awakened!" and with that, he rocketed the ball towards Akira and Nagi who were both making a run towards the goal. "Nice, Zantetsu. Good eyes." the white-haired boy said and the curly-haired boy couldn't help but agree, a nice pass indeed. But scoring so easily was a luxury they didn't have anymore as they had Isagi, right on their tail.

"We meet often" Nagi deadpanned, "You won't escape me!" the blue-eyed boy yelled as he tried to steal the ball, but faltered slightly when the lazy teen passed the ball towards Akira allowing him to take the shot while he covered off Isagi. 'This is it, one goal to end it vamos' the bronzed teen thought as he lined up his shot ready to strike when all of a sudden he felt like he was falling.

"Foul by Team Z, denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Red card to Kuno Wataru, he's off." Akira's leg hurt, as he tried to stand up and failed. Letting out a yelp of pain, as he once again tried to stand up and failed once again. "Akira!" Catching wind of his friend's obvious distress, Reo came running along with Nagi and Zantetsu to see if he was alright.

"Kuon, what are you doing?" Isagi asked angrily, sure he wanting to beat Team Z. But not by hurting Akira, "Ah, damn. Now you guys can keep on fighting" was all Kuon said. "What did you do, you bastard?!" Reo screamed as he had to be physically restrained by Zantetsu to stop him from ending the snake "Calm down, Reo!" the glasses teen said.

"Are you okay, Akira?! Does this hurt?" Reo asked as he crouched to the level to asses how badly his friend was hurt, pressing against the injured leg, to which the curly-haired teen hissed in response. Meaning yes, it does hurt very much.

As Kuon walked himself off while being glared at by Team V and Team Z alike, all attention turned to the bronzed boy who was still in obvious pain. "Listen up jerks, you need to win. I'm going to be the best striker in the world" Kuon said turning to his team, "You shut your mouth Kuon, that goes without saying" Isagi seethed still realing from the fact Akira got hurt because of his recklessness.

"Ito Akira, please report to the medical wig. You will no longer be playing in the remainder of the match, due to the injury you sustained."

"No, no, no, no! I can play, it no hurt" Akira argued as he tried to get up again, but to no avail. "Akira you are hurt, it is not wise for you as you may risk injuring yourself more" Zantetsu was right, but the curly-haired boy was unwilling to listen to logic. "No! fuck! it's that cadelas fault! Quando eu coloco minha mão naquele filho da puta" he yelled his eyes now welled with tears of frustration and pain, as both teams watched the boy with pity.

"Come on, darling let's get you looked at" And with that both Reo and Nagi helped Akira off the pitch, and towards the medical wing the game now temporarily paused. The walk to the medical ward was painfully silent, the only thing filling the air was the sound of footsteps and the occasional sniffle from Akira who desperately tried to hold back his tears.

Arriving at their destination, the purple and white-haired boys quickly lay the tanned teen on the nearest medical bed. The two wanted to wait with him, neither willing to leave the teen in such a state. Writhing and sobbing in pain, clearly needing comfort. "Mikage Reo and Nagi Seishiro, please return to the pitch so the match may resume"

"G-Go, I okay. I promise" Akira's lie wasn't very convincing, as he looked at his friends through smeared eyeliner and red-rimmed eyes. "I'm sorry I let you down" he apologised "Don't say that, it's not your fault," The amethyst-eyed teen said pulling the boy into his embrace, Nagi doing the same thing from the other side making him the filling in a comfort sandwich.

Finally allowing his tears to fall freely, the curly-haired boy broke down into a sobbing blubbering mess. Mumbling "I hate him, I hate him" over and over again, clearly referring to Kuon. Oh the things they were going to do to him when they got their hands on him, not even god could help him.

Once Akira had calmed down a bit, the boys left to resume the remainder of the match promising to return after. Bidding the two goodbye he was now left alone till the doctor came in to evaluate his injury. "Good news it's nothing serious, the pain should subside in a few hours, and you can go back to playing as normal once it does" With that, the doctor gave him some medication before leaving.

Now with time to kill and drowsy off the medication he was given, the curly-haired boy drifted off to sleep cocooned in the soft blanket given to him by the doctor unaware of the shit storm that was brewing outside.

"3 minutes of added time left" Zantetsu said as they all looked to the jumbotron, "Hey Reo, how do you want us to defend?" One of their teammates asked "Let's pass it about and run down the clock" another suggested. 'No I want to destroy them' Reo thought thinking back to the look on Akira's face when he left him, the thought alone was enough to boil his blood. He was hurt because of them.

And it seemed the remaining members of the Team V quartet agreed, they were going to make them suffer. "Huh, what are you talking about?" The purple-haired boy asked looking at his teammates as if they had just said the dumbest shit on planet Earth, which they had. Leaving the game at a draw would be letting them off, for what they did to his darling Akira. They needed to be punished, they needed to suffer, Mikage Reo, Zantetsu Tsurugi, and Nagi Seishiro would ensure that would happen.

"Our only option is to crush them"

"A draw against a team like this is pretty much the same as losing"

"They need to pay for hurting Akira, one more goal."

Reo stood to take the free kick outside the penalty area, as before he stood the whole of Team Z. "No giving away a foul, you hear!?" Raichi Jingo yelled, "Protect the goal with your life!" Naruhaya Asahi agreed. As Nagi stood amidst them, ready and waiting for the ball. 'Pass to me Reo, so I can score...for our Akira' the white-haired teen thought.

But instead of passing the ball, Reo took the shot himself, much to Nagi's surprise. The shot was stopped by Lemon, falling into the grasp of Zantetsu. "This is my territory!" He yelled as he struck the ball towards the goal, but it was blocked and deflected by none other than Raichi. "Where the hell did you come from?!" The glasses teen asked "From the wall" the teen said showing off his sharp teeth in a menacing smile.

The ball was now in the air as everyone clamoured to reach it "Get the ball!" "If I can just get it first!" but the ball ultimately fell to Nagi, "One more goal" he said his eyes fixed on the prize "For my Akira" With that he went to strike but found his path was blocked, so instead he chipped it over them and it was inches away from going in when.

"Not done yet" Gagamaru Gin intervened at the last second, clearing the ball off the line and sending it into the path of one, Isagi Yoichi. "I see it, this is our last chance" and with that Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, and Kunigami broke for the counter.

Reo tried to swipe the ball from the blue-eyed boy, but he passed to Bachira just in the nick of time. Who dribbled it forward before passing it back to Isagi when he had run out of space to run into, "Bachira over here! Outrun 'em all with those legs of yours, Chigiri!" And he did just that as he stormed up the pitch, with no sign of stopping leaving Team V's defence nervous.

"We need more people," One of the Team V players said, "Prevent the one-two!" Another shouted as the four began to pass back and forth as they entered a dangerous shooting position. As Kunigami received the ball he found it being kicked out from under him, as Zantetsu looked to put the ball out of play. "No mid-range shot for you!"

"If the ball goes out, we're done!" The orange-haired boy yelled as Raichi came to the rescue, just in the nick of time. "I told you to score, didn't I?! I'll kill you! Go, you idiot!" smacking the ball towards Bachira.

"Come on!"

"Pass it to me!"

"Watch out down the middle! Don't let him shoot! Snap him!"

And while Team V was so focused on protecting the middle, they hadn't realised the pass wasn't meant for Chigiri or Kunigami. But for Isagi who made the run in behind, "Perfect, Bachira"

"We meet often, don't we? Right now, you're the most dangerous person in on the field" Nagi said as he appeared from behind, the two pushed and shoved but only one came out on top.

Team V 4 - 5 Team Z
