************

As the ball rolling out of the goal, Someoka stole it fast before Arbega could touch it. He passed it to Shirou which made a direct shoot to the goal. Unfortunately, Arbega could catch it and he wouldn't give it to anyone yet.

"The same strategy won't work on me.." Arbega tightened his grab on the ball.

"No, Arbega.. We won't use the same strategy for twice.." Kidou smirked.

In all sudden Atsuya running fast to Arbega and when he's about to crush him, Arbega threw the ball, dodging him fast and tried to balance himself from almost fell down.

"Got 'cha!!" Atsuya grinned, "make it in, Someoka!"

"Dragon Slayer!"

Someoka kicked the ball hard after he summoned a huge blue dragon. The ball which covered by blue energy, flew tremendously to the goal area, but Gouenji gave his Bakunetsu Screw as a booster shoot. Arbega tried his best to stop the shoot, but the shoot was too powerful to be stopped. One more score for Endou's team. They had no time for celebrating their success, since they're running out of time both in the game and Endou's life. They had received Endou's power more than the limit that causing Endou drained almost all of his own energy. He knelt down and his whole body was trembling. He's not sure could hold himself until the game's over, but they had no time to switch the player.

"Three more, huh?" Kidou sighed, "can we really catch up?"

"We can, Kidou.. We surely can.." Gouenji tapped Kidou's shoulder.

While the rest of the team was struggling on the battlefield, there's a strong pound which flinched both Yuuichi and Endou. They looked at each other as they felt a vague glum atmosphere from inside the cave. It's releasing a thin mist which spreading out to the whole room where they were. Most of them didn't care since they had to get three goals right away or they would face the end of everything, but Endou and Yuuichi could feel that it's being tense and tense. Endou was stunned by the view on the deep cave behind him and it's almost dragged him in, but another goal was successfully snapped him out from it. It's Gouenji who made the goal just now. That made two more scores to go, but still Endou couldn't shift his concern from the cave. His heart throbbing even faster as his eyes met with Yuuichi's eyes. The end time was coming closer and even if they could get one more goal, it could only made a tie between them. Drowned in desperate, once again Ozrock got the ball and he used Stargazer.

"Majin The Hand!"

Endou tried his best to stop the shoot despite of his lack of power. He's blown away to his own goal while the ball safely thrown to the opposite of him. Ozrock was about to kick it, but his move being frozen for an unknown reason, like the time's stopped. It's not only him, but the entire Ixal Fleet's players froze up on the spot. Soon after a loud clank sound like a clock hands echoing, there's a bright light swiped all the field like lightning. It even destroyed all the ground and the wall around them, letting the debris raining upon them. The game was automatically stopped or it could count as Inazuma Eleven's win since Ozrock and his team was gone, not leaving a single trace. That's not really should be worried at the moment. The Inazuma team was facing another unknown phenomenon. After making sure that everyone's okay and Endou had restored a bit, Yuuichi guided them to enter more deeper to where the Chrono Stone was. All the team was stunned by seeing a huge stalagmite which was flickering, surrounded by sparkling dust of light.

"Is that.. The Chrono Stone?" Someoka furrowed his eyebrows.

Yuuichi nodded, "yes.. It's the Chrono Stone you're looking for all this time.."

"Now, let's take it and get out of here.." Said Kazemaru worriedly.

Yuuichi held the team from stepping more farther, "no.. You can't.." His eyes saddened.

"What's wrong, Yuuichi?" Someoka confused.

"I guess, I can make this clear.." Said Endou in all sudden, "we can't set one single foot out of the cave at the moment.." He threw a sharp stare at the dark side in that room, "because, we're trapped in the spider web.."

It's not clear enough for the team to understand what their captain's up to, but Endou could feel a strong presence from the dark side of the room since they entered the room. It's obvious that all they would face was none other than the guardian of the Chrono Stone. Yuuichi and Endou weren't sure what's made the guardian woken up, yet they knew for sure that one of the cause was Endou's power from before. The orange colored hexagonal prism stone which was sealed up on the top of the stalagmite, attracted Endou's concern since he had the same stone inside him. Like the prophecy said that no one should activate the two stones, but here they're with the two stones which could be activated anytime. Should they continue or should they giving it up? Meanwhile, Yuuichi's face was full of glum of worry since he knew exactly that his little brother was already woken up from his slumber. It's time for the Tsurugi family's reunion, but Yuuichi could feel that this wasn't a warm family reunion.

"It's been a while, right nii-san?"

A familiar voice came out from the dark side of the room that caught them in a freezing flinch. Yuuichi threw a sad stare as he saw a figure of the only family he loved the most coming out and revealing himself.

"Kyousuke.." Yuuichi clenched his fist.
