A/N: Instead of them having a 3-3 scoreboard, I made it 4-4. I am good ^^ 

Also... yeah I made Kuroi use one of the most forbidden techniques and made Kageyama disappear

Of course Orpheus would put Nakata in for Gianluca... Since he's wearing the captain's band, I'm guessing he was the original captain, and Fideo was subbing in for him. Wait a minute... now I know him! Hidetoshi Nakata! The genius player from Japan! I guess he converted himself into an Italian...

The match began with Orpheus' kickoff. Raffaele kicked the ball to Fideo, who kicked it to Nakata. Shuuya was about to steal the ball but Nakata kicked it to Giannini, who kicked it to Dante when Kazemaru was about to get the ball. They've gotten good at their passing accuracy... not to mention, they got fast in finding open spaces. They weren't like from the first half... of course. Nakata's back with them. It's obvious that they would go faster and powerful than before.

"Rena!"

"Got it!" I blocked Fideo, who had the ball in his possession. "I can't believe this." Fideo started. (note, we were still trying to get the ball) "I never thought that you'd be on this field." "Gianluca already told me that, Fideo." I said still trying to get the ball from him. "Well, then I guess he must've told you about this." 

"About wha--"

He got past me. Dang it! Note to self; Never fall for that trick again. Shirou and Kabeyama were blocking him, but Fideo saw the opportunity to pass it to Nakata. Once Fideo got away from Shirou and Kabeyama, Nakata passed it back to Fideo, who used "Odin Sword". Endou used "Ijigen the Hand" but it broke. Luckily Kidou had kicked the ball at the goalpost and Endou had caught it. I sighed in relief. "That was close..." I muttered.

Endou kicked the ball to Kazemaru, who got past Dante and kicked it to Akio, who kicked it to Kidou. Fideo and the others did "Catennacio Counter" again. Kidou got past Fideo but unfortunately came up from behind and stole the ball. In a short time, they managed to evolve those tactics further. 

The ball was passed to Fideo, who did a back pass to Nakata, who used "Brave Shot". The was heading towards the goal with strong blue lights following. "Ijigen the Hand" was used again but it didn't work, making Orpheus have a one point lead. It's about time we use Convergence already! Or Fubuki no Honoo! Or Scorpion's Tail! Wait... I just realized...

With Shirou on the defense, he'll have a hard time moving back if the shot fails. Using Fubuki no Honoo was a risk since I'll have to get past Nakata. I can use the first version of Scorpion's Tail, but it'd be hard getting past Dante, Raffaele, Giannini, and Fideo. I can't use the other version of Scorpion's Tail since... Wait. I haven't tried with Toramaru and Akio yet. I think we might have a shot on that. Problem is... how are we gonna get past Nakata?

"Rena, something wrong?" Jirou asks. 

"I was thinking about Scorpion's Tail..." I said. "Where's Akio?"

"What about me?" Akio looked at me. 
"I need you to do Scorpion's Tail with me." I said. "It's our last hope."

"Why not Fubuki no Honoo or Convergence?" Shirou asks.

"It'll be hard for you to get back to the defense line if the shoot fails, plus none of us can't get past Nakata," I said. "As for Fubuki no Honoo, it'll be difficult to get past Fideo and the others due to their fast moving for open spaces and positions." I looked at them. "Scorpion's Tail is our last hope."
