the Soothscryer sent out the orb again, gaining everyone's attention again. One krubera moved for the ball, however, the other went straight for Jim. Jim eyed him, then realized that this krubera was the one that punched his lights out a few hours earlier. With a growl, Jim jumped over the troll and ran after the other that was battling Toby for the ball, somehow the short teen was able to grab the orb from the krubera before the latter reached it.

"Jimbo!" Toby called out as he tossed the ball over to his teammate. Jim jumped to grab it but was flung into the wall as the troll guarding him threw his entire body weight into the youngling. The krubera took the ball and threw it into the Soothscryer for their first point.

The force of Jim's impact caused dust and rocks to cover his figure, making it so the others didn't know if he was alright as they couldn't see him. Jim, however, decided to get some payback. He bolted out of the dust and right for the krubera that had caught the orb and slammed into him. The troll dropped the ball and was sent to hang over the edge of the deep cliff. The other krubera had snatched the ball before his teammate went over the edge but was shocked that the whelp had so much hidden strength.

"Not so easy when I can see ya coming." Jim growled, taunting the troll as he lifted himself back onto the solid ground. Said krubera growled back at him for trying to make a fool of the troll.

Toby had run up to the troll with the orb, gaining his attention as he tried to smash the short teen into the ground. Toby was quick to react as he slid under the troll and grabbed onto his tail. The troll tried to fling the trollhunter off but to no avail as Toby did stuff like this with ARRRGGH! Often just as roughhousing.

A few of the axes were turned on as Jim ran for the amulet for Toby, the half troll knew the stout teen would never be able to reach it. With that krubera hot on his tail, Jim ran up the side of the wall and was able to snatch the amulet from the hooks it was on.

"Tobes!" the half troll called to the other as he flung the amulet out of the krubera's reach. Toby let go of the others' tail and was flung towards the Soothscryer as the troll threw the orb to score. Toby caught the amulet and the armor dawned without the incantation as he summoned Daylight and swung at the ball. Its trajectory was off anyway and using his sword as a baseball bat, Toby was able to get the score for trollmarket. The crowd went wild with excitement as cheers and roars sounded from everyone. Jim took a mad dash for Toby and fist bumped him. In the short time they had between plays, Jim was able to find Usurna in the stands, right next to Vendal, staring down at him in shock and anger. Jim glared back while bearing his tusks with a growl. The Soothscryer shot out another ball, beginning the next play. The match went back and forth for who got the point and by half time, the teams were tied.

"Hell yeah, dude, we're killing it." Toby said as the two of them walked to the tunnel for their ten minute break. The others had run down to meet up with them for the break and as soon as they made it up the stairs, Claire almost knocked Jim back down as she jumped into his arms.

"Heha, hey good to see you too." Jim laughed out as he hugged her back. The others weren't too far behind her as they came running through the tunnel.

"Jim, my boy. I'm so glad you're ok." Blinky said, almost going in for a hug himself, but the shadowmancer didn't seem like she was letting go anytime soon. Jim smiled at his friends, Claire held tighter to his neck, making him laugh.

"You ain't all pissy still, are you?" Steve asked, still a little cautious from their last encounter. Jim gave a small laugh.

"No and sorry about that." he said, holding onto one of his horns. Claire finally loosened her grip on his neck and let him stand up straight.

"How many times do i gotta say 'not your fault' before it sticks?" Toby asked, giving the half troll a challenging look.

"Darci!" Claire suddenly whipped around with a stern tone, making everyone jump. "Why didn't you tell us you found him?" she asked, she wasn't really angry but her tone didn't say that to the others, however, the witches girlfriends knew the difference.
