The Finale...

(3 years after...)

"Woah! Jho Maraguinot was playing incredibly!" Mozzy Ravena reacted as Jho spiked the ball and hit the face of her blocker.

Ponggay got the ball quickly when it bounced on the blocker. She passed it to Deanna carefully, and Deanna set it again for Jhoana...

"Jhoana Maraguinot makes me think talaga. Ano ba yung effect sakanya ng pag-alis ni Bea de Leon sa team ng Ateneo?" Anton Roxas asked while chuckling with Mozzy.

"Yun na nga Anton, alam naman natin na mag-bestfriend talaga sila noon pa man ni Bea. But as we can see now, Jho's play was really improved mula nung nawala si Beadel sa team..." Gretchen Ho commented as she looked at Anton and Mozzy.

UAAP season 81, Women's Volleyball Championship game for the year 2019 was now happening inside the MOA Arena...

As everyone had expected, De LaSalle University's lady archers and Ateneo De Manila University's lady eagles were inside the court and playing seriously for the one and only UAAP season 81's crown...

The rivals for years were having their toughest game ever. The archers were trying to target the title again with the help of their team captain, Kim Dy; the eagles, giving their all to hook again the sparkling crown with their captain, Jhoana Maraguinot...

"Malaking kawalan nga talaga si Beadel sa Ateneo. But then, naitawid naman nila ang nakaraang 3 taon na season without her. But of course with the help of their Middles, Maddie Madayag, Ponggay Gaston, and Jules Samonte..." Mozzy commented while smiling.

"Look, Deanna set the ball for Jhoana again..." Anton muttered.

"OHH! DOWN THE LINE!" He reacted as Gretchen and Mozzy shouted a "Woah!" At the same time after the spike of Jhoana.

"Jhoana already made 10 points sa set palang nato ah." Gretchen said with her very excited voice.

"Sinabi mo pa! She's on fire talaga ngayong gabi!" Anton commented as he moved his head side by side, showing his amazement.

The blue crowd was also on fire like their team captain Jhoana and the said arena was occupied by ONLY 23,683 fans of the both sides...

"Maraming salamat nga po pala sa mga ka-action natin ngayon, sa mga nagtu-tweet, sa mga nakatutok sa kani-kanilang mga bahay, at sa mga nandito ngayon sa loob ng arena. Maraming salamat po sa inyong panunuod ng game natin ngayon..." Mozzy said while smiling.

The camera focused again on Jhoana who's now serving the ball with her straight face. She's really serious by this time...

Imagine, an eagle fighting madly just to hook her prey once again...

"That's an ace!" Anton shouted after that serve of Jho.

The blue crowd shouted "GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT!" While dancing on the music of DJ Tronix...

"Okay, end of the first set!" Gretchen added with her happy voice.

"Grabe, makapigil hininga talaga 'yon ah...Jhoana ends this set tulad nalang ng na-predict ko kanina..." Mozzy said while chuckling with Gretchen.

"18-25, pabor sa Ateneo!" Anton shouted while clapping his both hands silently.

This is her now. The renewed version. The stronger Jho. Like a soldier that can fight and set a battle just for her dreams...

/Nag-switch na ng pwesto yung ALE and yung archers after nung set nayon/ - me

Jhoana sit on the bench immediately and breathed heavily, trying to take away the drums inside her chest. She knows that everyone in her team was also nervous right now because of the pressure brought by their fans. But then, alam din niya sa sarili niyang iba talaga yung kaba niya ngayon compare sa ibang game...
