Sae dribbled forwards. Shidou was already in position. All that was left to do, was to demolish and penetrate Blue Lock's midfield. Easy thing once he started to become serious. Sae quickly stepped over and slipped past the first player he was met with, Nagi. Only one player seperating him from going through. Kageyama Yoichi. Sae indeed changed his dribbling style from the first half, but as he looked into the eyes of the youngest Kageyama, he noticed something strange. Something he hasn't really seen up until now. 
'Has he changed his style too?', Sae asked himself. 'No, he's evolving.' 
Yoichi's eyes started to glow even more. From the colour of the deep dark ocean to the bright the brightest blue skies. 
'Then there is no need for me to hold back.', Sae thought. "I'll increase the game level. Only the idiots who can follow me, get to see the scenery that comes next." 
He slid to the left, which Yoichi followed to, but then quickly went for the right. Yoichi didn't let go. He quickly span around and got a hold of the renowned star. 
"You're not gonna lose me this time.", he whispered in a dangerous tone and went in for a body battle with all his strength pressing against Sae. Sae abruptly stooped. Yoichi stumbled forwards a bit. Sae used the opportunity to use the blind spot of the raven haired and went past him from left. Yoichi caught himself regaining his balance. He quickly pursuited Sae. Yoichi was back in front of Sae. The grids became smaller, and smaller. All the details came in sight. 
'Show me everything.', Yoichi demanded. His eyes glew even brighter. The colour of his eyes matched the blue lightsabers from the jedis. Sae scissored and rushed for the right and went through. Yoichi looked at it. Arrows for movements appeared. Data of Sae's speed generated itself. Yoichi dismissed everything. He sprinted right behind Right in his blind spots. Sae was now in front of Barou and Karasu. He scissored for a second, lobbed the ball up and jumped through them. Yoichi continued to run. Sae landed on both his feet and was about to continue. and rolled the ball forwards. He expected to kick the ball forwards cleanly. Suddenly a force pressing against the ball he was trying to lead appeared and all the speed he picked up by dribbling through the midfield pushed him forwards towards the floor. Sae looked at the floor shocked to see Yoichi spinning because of that slide tackle from behind. The ball got to Karasu, who quickly started Blue Lock's counter offensive. 
"Faster...", the raven haired on the floor grunted. His eyes were burning at this point. He got up and sprinted after the ball at full steam. Sae followed suit. Karasu passed forwards to Barou. The self proclaimed king immediately ignored all open teammates for possible one-twos and started his dribbling filled with chaotic turns. 
"Give it.", Yoichi demanded as Barou has just got past Darai. This time it wasn't a plea he could consider turn down. This time it was an absolute order. An order no one could withstand. Barou passed the ball to the raven haired, with Sae overtaking him. Yoichi trapped the ball and started to step over Sae. His grids were marking everything. Every slight movement. Yoichi slid the ball to the right side attempting to go for that path. Sae stepped right towards him. Yoichi sensed it and quickly pushed the ball to the left and freed himself from Sae for a short amount of time. Sae turned around as fast as he could and caught up to him. Yoichi stepped back and went behind Sae, readying his shooting stance. Just as he thought he gained freedom, Barou stepped in to steal from him. 
"The king is back!!!", he announced his presence to him with an aggressive tackle to gain possession of the ball. "You left yourself wide open, Kageyama! You thought I wouldn't steal from you as long as you weren't in the goal zone?" 
Yoichi grunted his teeth as he saw Sae coming back for him. 
"Fuck off.", he cursed his teammate and passed the ball to Bachira. He then followed up by jumping between Sae and Barou. 
"All your chances of scoring a goal in this mess has been created by none other than me.", he reminded Barou whilst sprinting behind Bachira, who has gone beserk on dribbling through the U20's defense. Neru was the first one who stood up to Blue Lock's number eight. 
"It's time to dance~", Bachira sing songed and stepped over the ball faster than the speed of sound. The thought of countering with his speed quickly vanished from Neru's mind as he was met with the situation. 
'Shit... he handles the ball so quickly... is it a feint, or is he turning?', Neru speculated and hesitated to engage. And that small hesitation was all Bachira needed. He flicked the ball up, over Neru whilst smoothly running past him to receive the ball again. 
'First Ba-Bang!!!! Then Papap!', Bachira commented his acts inside his mind. 'And then spin with a woosh!!' 
"AT HIM NERU!!! PRESS HIM!!!", Niou came to the support of his teammate. Bachira calmly slid the ball to his left. Both U20 defenders were trying to double him. He looked to the left for a second making his bodylanguage feeding them false intel about the path he was going to take, before swiftly spinning past Niou. Aiku was now the only one left between him and the goal. 
"To think they still had this ace up their sleeve...", Aiku muttered. 
"GWAR", Bachira growled his battle scream. 
"BACHIRA!!!", Nagi shouted as he ran past them entering the penalty zone. 
"Give it.", Yoichi demanded like the demon king he was at that point. 
'Shut up, you extras.', Bachira thought and scissored in god speed in front of Aiku. 
'An insane scissors feint...!',m Aiku thought. Just in that moment, as Aiku was too focused on figuring out, what his opponent was about to do, Bachira lifted the ball slightly. 
'Was he gonna shoot that small intervall?', the defender questioned. However, he didn't have time to find the answer on his own because it was revealed to him in the most shocking way. Bachira punched the ball into the ground making it bounce over Aiku. 
"Shit... COME OUT, GOALIE!!!!", the captain shouted as it was inevitable that Bachira has gone past him. Fukaku rushed out and stretched his hands out to secure it, but Bachira was not done. He jumped up with everything he got and tipped the ball over the U20 goalkeeper. 
"POW!!!", Bachira sang. 'Goal...'
