The game started with the ball under Hiyori who pass it to Hiura. Hiura passes the ball to me

"Shoot it Yosano san!"He shouted

"Asuto!"I shouted.I signal for him to get ready

I kicked the ball high and hoisted Asuto in the air.He accompanied my shot with blinding birds."Shining fall!"We shouted.I saw Endou used his "Majin the Hand" again.Endou still managed to block our shoot

"He stopped Shining fall?!"Mansaku said

"That's impossible!"Hiro shouted

"That one was intense! Keep em coming!"Endou shouted clasping his hands, he wore a wide grin in face

"It's no use I don't see us managing a goal from that guy at all"Goujin said

"It's like a big mountain"Kozoumaru commented

It's impossible to hit him in the front but maybe..

"How about we aim at the sides!His Majin the Hand is impenetrable when we shoot at the front but isn't strong when it's trying to guard at the sides!"I explained. Both Goujin and Kozoumaru seems to grasp what I meant

"Is that so.."Goujin said

"You didn't notice?"Kozoumaru asked.Goujin looked at him confused."We took him by surprise the first time but he was able to intercept it"Kozoumaru elaborates

I saw Asuto and Captain approach us three

"No, Endou san hasn't fully grasp on how to deal with attacks from the sides yet.If we add more twist to it we can make the shoot a successful one.Right Asuto?"Captain said

"Yes!"Asuto happily nodded

"Alright so what's your plan?"I asked, intrigued of what they had in mind

"The three of us together will score a goal against Endou san!"Asuto said

The game resumes with the ball under captain's feet

"Kozoumaru!"Captain called and passed the ball to Kozoumaru

"Let's go!"Kozoumaru said

[ Flashback ]

"The three of us together will score a goal against Endou san!"Asuto said

"The three of us?"Kozoumaru asked

"I'll join Kozoumaru and Goujin senpai in their combo play.First, Kozoumaru shoots fire tornado from the front and have him bring out Majin the Hand!"Asuto explains

"You want me to use fire tornado as a decoy?!"Kozoumaru exclaims

It instantly clicked." Your fire tornado is strong enough to make Endou focus all his energy in it" I stated

"Exactly!"Asuto smiled

"Ugh fine.."Kozoumaru groans, looking away his face turned slightly pink.

[ Present ]

Kozoumaru shoots ball using his hissatsu technique "fire tornado" just as predicted Endou used his "Majin the Hand" to block his shoot but before it could reach the goal Asuto kicks it to the side where Goujin was waiting

"Take this Endou! My hissatsu technique.. Fire Lemonade!"Goujin shouted, redirect kick it heading towards the goal

Before it could reach the goal, Endou used a different hissatsu technique

"Endou Mamoru's Majin the Hand split into two! This forms a perfect around defense in front of the goal!"The commentator said

Endou tries to block it using his hissatsu technique and fails.One of his teammate appeared attempts to stop it but the ball successfully enters the goal.We finally made a break through

"Goal! At last with remarkable team play, they break through the stronghold of the invincible goalkeeper, Endou Mamoru!"The commentator said."The one who try to stop the shoot are now injured and left the field without being replace cause they don't have enough players"

The game began with Asuto, Kozoumaru and Goujin doing their hissatsu technique again but this time Endou blocks it

"The Tonegawa Tousen eleven with one man down use all of their strength to keep running on the field! Their will to never give up to the end is indeed a manifestation of Endou Mamoru's soul!"The commentator said

Nearly most of the Tonegawa Tousen's players were already exhausted except for Endou.That's when we heard a whistle

"Switch players!"One of the referees said

Huh I thought there were only 11 players?.. I thought

I looked back and noticed, all the members of Tonegawa Tousen were just as surprised as we were.For some reason, Endou knew this player whom I learned was called Tanukigahara Ponko

The match started again, Ponko was fast and managed to pass through Hiro and the others.I was about to mark her when she suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind me, running towards the goal

"I didn't even see a hissatsu?!"I said puzzled by this new player.I didn't realize she was about to make a pass to another player

Sakanoue dribbles the ball and I managed to steal it back, I pass the ball to Hiro but it was quickly stolen by a long haired boy

The green haired boy and gray colored haired boy used their hissatsu technique "Heaven's Dragon".Norika uses her hissatsu "Mermaid veil" to block the shoot and successfully stopped it

With little time left, Norika swiftly passes the ball to me which I then passed to Asuto

Asuto, Kozoumaru and Michinari performed their hissatsu technique "Victory Line" they kicked the ball hard. I saw Endou used his hissatsu "God of wind and God of Lightning", in an final attempt to stop it but the shoot enters the goal

"GOAL!! The score is now 2-1"The commentator.Just then we heard the whistle indicating the match was over

"The match is over! In this great match with everyone holding their breath. Raimon's terrific team play is what makes them come on top! They brilliantly bring down Tonegawa Tousen, led by legendary captain Endou Mamoru  to advance to the finals!"

I saw Endou approaching me, his smile never left his face, even though they lost he was still proud

"Good job Yosano!"He grinned, I couldn't help but laugh

"Thank you but I didn't do much this match"I smiled

"That's not true. Without your help we wouldn't have realized Endou's weakness.You were the one who brought the team together"I heard captain's voice from behind

"You're too hard on yourself Yosano"Endou said, patting me by the shoulder."This is your victory as a team.Be proud of it"

"I'll keep that in mind Endou"I replied with a grin

--

We returned to our bench where Ootani and Anna congratulated us almost immediately

"Congratulations you guys!"Trainer Kameda said

"Congratulations!"We heard coach's voice but when we turned around it was two people wearing bear costumes

Of course.. I internally sighed

"Coach?! Why are you here?!"Coach Kameda asked, surprised

Coach laughed by his response."After seeing everyone's growth during the tournament.I had faith you'd win this match without my help"

"By the way coach.."Hiro said

"What the hell are you wearing?!"I finished his sentence

"It's a bear costume.What do you think? Ain't I cute and cuddly.Amari chan why don't you give it a try?"He smiled, spreading his arms wide.I glared at him

"I'd crush you if you do"I threatened.It worked as he took 3 steps away from me

"Nevermind.."He nervously chuckled

I noticed Captain was holding his foot.I tapped his shoulder getting his attention

"Captain..your foot"I said pointing at his injured foot

"It's alright"He reassures me

"It's not alright, you'll strain yourself"I replied

"Weren't you also the one who hid the fact that they sprained their ankle"He reminded

I looked away, guilty."That's different.."I muttered, he chuckled by my reaction

--

We were freshening up in our lockers, changing our outfits and getting ready to leave

"You're all dismissed for today"Coach said, we all began packing our bags when coach interrupts me."Except for you Amari chan you stay"

I gestured for Asuto to leave without me.He looks at me concerned but Hiura assures him, soon they both left."Alright what is it this time old man?"I asked, leaning behind my seat

"Remember our deal?"He suddenly asks.I raised my brow confused

"I still owe you a favor"I replied, he hummed in reply

"It's time for you to be aware that they're on the move again.."He said his voice turned serious.My eyes widenned, I glance at him thinking he was joking but his face didn't wore the usual cheshire smile

"Don't tell me you.."I felt my hand began to tremble in fear.Lakee appears beside me and holds my hand in comfort

"I know you're still afraid Amari chan but we must seize this opportunity before it's too late"He said approaching me

"Old man you know I can't-.. it's too much..."I muttered under my breath.The memories began flooding that day

"You're not alone this time jiejie"Lakee assures me removing his mask."You have us..we won't let them stand any longer"

"I-I'll think about it.."I said standing up from my seat."So you can stop using the puppy eyes on me Li"

"Is it working?"He chuckled

"Only a little"I snickered, tackling him from behind and ruffling his hair.The once gloomy atmosphere turned into a joyful one

"When you're ready my door is always open"Coach smiled."In the meantime enjoy the time you have Amari"

"Wow that was surprisingly comforting for once"I teased, he looked at me shocked

"You wound me Amari chan"He weakly feigned pretending to fall down with Lakee holding him back for support

"Oyaji you're heavy!"Lakee struggled maintaining his balance

"You know it's considered rude to say that to your elders"He shouted

"So you're finally admitting you're an old man?"I smirked, leaning back.I playfully rest my arms across my chest

"W-wait a minute you're both trying to set me up!"He said pointing his finger at us

"You set this up on yourself oyaji"Lakee and I looked at him deadpanned

Despite what's ahead, its times like these that makes up for it..
