SKYLA’S P.O.V
Kirkwood kept getting the ball so easily and my sisters were getting tired.
“If we’re as tired as this….Tri-tornado S” Skylar said to a worried Jude.
“Don’t worry….you’ll get the ball…..if you’re exhausted much more you’re out of the game….you need to rest even if you’re fit” Jude said.
“She shouldn’t be in this game in the first place” I stated coldly….My sister’s health comes before a game…Jude should know that.
Raimon was blocking every hit the triplets took and yet we hadn’t gotten the ball yet.
At one point Skylar fell down exhausted while blocking a mid-fielder.
“Skylar” Sky and I rushed to her side as her breathing was heavy.
“Is she okay?” Axel came to us.
“She’d need a bit rest” I said trying to calm her breathing down.
“That’s okay…she can go to the bench…I’m sorry for using your energy during this match” Jude said.
“I’d do anything a million times for you Jude” Skylar gave him a smile as I cringed at her lines.
We got her on the bench as she was substituted back with Timmy.
“I just hope she’s alright”
*******************************************************
“Pathetic” I spat watching the Murdock brother’s argue with their own teammates.
“Skyla” Jude called for me as he was talking with Kevin and Axel.
“Alright now….Kevin and Axel….Are you ready?” Jude asked.
“Uh-huh” They replied.
“I feel like I’m left out of the strategy” I crossed my arms… “What was this really about Jude?”
“I…uhm….Axel should say it” Jude pushed Axel forward.
“He only brought your sisters on the team to intimidate the Murdocks” Axel said.
“Really….And I don’t think we covered that in the strategy meeting….did we, Jude?” I asked.
“No but I wasn’t risking either of your lives anyway” Jude said firmly.
“There’s no taking Sky out of this once she’s agreed….we’ll just have to use illusion glass….Skylar’s not here but the tornado isn’t strong without much practice” I mused.
“You’re still in this?” Jude asked surprised.
“We all got to take one for the team a way or another a lot of times…This is one of mine and Sky’s” I said with a small smile walking back to my position as the game resumed.
Mark passed the ball to me as I turned to bobby with a small nod.
“Let’s do it” Eric called out.
Jude gave Axel and Kevin the signal and they started running ahead to me….
“Bobby” I passed it to bobby as the directions changed confusing Kirkwood players as bobby passed it to Jude.
Jude got the ball.
“Let’s do it now” Jude said as Mark and bobby ran up front. “Skyla”
I got the ball and passed it to Eric.
The three of them moved upwards for tri-Pegasus.
They scored a goal.
“We did it” Sky high fived me.
“Yes We did it” I gave her a small smile then a small wave to my family in the stands….i managed to catch sight of the triplets well showing streaks on the front seat as well as Eric and his wife cheering us on.
“That was a straight on pass” Axel said after talking and high-fiving Mark.
“It was nothing really” I said averting my gaze blushing a bit as he smiled walking away.
‘It was nothing really’ I sighed inwardly going to the bench as the whistle blew for the end of first half.
“That was good teamwork you two” Skylar said handing Jude two towels as I sweat dropped.
“Thanks….You did really great too” Jude said as Skylar blushed.
“Running up and down? That was hardly draining….I could do it again y’know” Skylar said as I cringed.
“Things we do for love” Sky observed.
“Tch” I turned away wiping my face but then a thought hit me.
“Hey Red riding hood….Mr blue cape is meant to have one towel only” I smirked as Sky and the others snickered at Skylar’s nickname.
“…” Skylar sighed blushing.
I was talking with my sisters when Jude called us over.
“Skylar you recharged?” Jude asked.
“Yeah” Skylar nodded.
“I was thinking….Since Triangle Z and Tri tornado S have the same standards….wouldn’t the goal keeper be trained against it already?” Sky asked.
“Yes you’re right about that” Eric stated.
“That’s why it’s not to score….it’s to weaken the shot” Jude said.
“We could just use Mirror” Sky and Skylar whined.
“That wouldn’t be enough” Jude said shutting everyone up….I sent him a quick smile to show my thanks….
“It’s gonna be fine…no matter what kind of shots those guys take….I’ll be sure to stop it” Mark said as the break ended and it was time for the second half.
*******************************************************
As the Murdock’s advanced up the field….My sisters and I moved backwards a little preparing to steal the ball.
The Murdock’s shot their triangle Z as I got the ball sending it to Sky.
“Okay….” Sky got the ball running with it as we crossed paths stopped then jumped in the air passing it to each other in the air.
“Tri block” We said letting it pass through to the goal where Mark couldn’t still catch it…
“Amazing ball handling skills”
(Let me explain how it works….They can’t catch the ball with their legs…so instead they use the ball’s speed and power and run along with it to change it’s route and manipulate it’s movement…..Continue reading)
“We couldn’t slow it down enough” Sky said pouting.
“Maybe it’s the trajectory…try and slow the ball down….It’s newly customized just to block it and it’s a shooting move….We’ll keep trying, kay?” I said giving her a smile to re assure her.
“We let go of the ball too early” Skylar muttered furrowing her brows.
“The power was too much on my legs….i couldn’t take it long” Skylar said.
“That’s why we’ll slow it down first” I said.
*****************************************************
And another goal from Axel’s fire tornado.
“Woohoo…Go Axel” Skylar cheered as Sky and I gave silent stares at her reaction with a little smile.
Move after Move…..offense after defense and neither of the scores changed.
“Illusion glass” Sky and I tried it ….nope
“Double dominoes” Skylar and I tried it…..nada
“Cross-drive” Max tried it….i don’t even think it reached the goal post.
Both teams were still at a tie….going head on.
Somehow the Murdock brothers intercepted a pass and got triangle Z in….but Mark managed to hold on catching it.
Jack and Tod got behind Mark supporting his god hand and it stopped the ball.
“We’ve got extra-time now” I tutted.
“Skyla….to Axel” Mark said passing it to me as I got up in mid-air.
“Here you go” I passed it immediately.
Axel got the ball and advanced up the field but the murdocks blocked his way….surprisingly I got a back pass…he turned to me.
“Tri tornado S….do it now” Axel said.
“What?”
“Don’t think just do it” Axel said as I ran up ahead with my sisters crossing paths then jumping up passing to each other in the air as I gave it one last kick.
“Tri tornado Reborn”
I sent it to Eric, Mark and Bobby who had gotten past Malcolm’s spinning cut and had gotten a new technique.
‘The phoenix’
A powerful shoot chain like that just made it in without any effort made to stop it.
“Goal”
“Yeah we did it” Skylar hugged me excitedly.
“We did” I nodded as the game ended just at that.
“You made another achievement lil’ ocean…..Raimon made it to the final in 40 years” Sky said.
“Don’t call me that” I growled at her.
*****************************************************
“So you won this game but doesn’t that mean you’re up against Zeus?” Eric asked me.
“Unfortunately fortunately…..It does mean that” I nodded swallowing my food.
“I see…..A bit more practice then…you’ll get used to it” Eric smiled.
“When….When are you guys leaving?” Sky asked.
“After watching Skyla’s finals of course….she’s the only one of us siblings to make it to the finals.” Eric gave me a sad smile.
I gave a small smile to re-assure him that everything was alright.
“The faster you’re out of here the better….you know how fitting father makes his plans….Its assumed he has no idea of the kids but he does know you…” I lied…..Father didn’t know about the kids but he did know about Eric and Alice….I just didn’t assume
“That’s been considered but how did you…” Eric trailed off
“It’s psychic….As a great detective….this has to be part of me, right Alice?” I asked.
“Right….It’s a shame Eric hates you being so sneaky….I’d love to have you on this case” Alice said grinning at me before going back to Ray Dark’s files.
“I think she’s been on the case long enough….Putting her life and her teammates life in danger isn’t good….Protect your loved ones first” Eric said as his words hung in my head as we nodded.
“Protect your loved ones first”
