Baddap wants Endou to give up soccer. Destroy his will to play and save his future. "Endou" doesn't take kindly to that, and Kanon just hopes that he could save the timeline. It doesn't quite help that his Great Grandpa has the tendency to surpass everyone's expectations. "This didn't happen before."

"Endou Mamoru."

Damnit, damnit, damnit- Stand up! "N-no," he whispers. "Stop it." The ball hits another one of his friends -hits Kidou, hits Kabeyama, hits- and Endou can't focus his eyes -it hurts, everything hurts, not right not rightnotright- his knees are wobbling, stand up stand up, stop it, stop hurting them-

"Just give up soccer."

He stands straighter at that. G-give up soccer? His chest burns and his head throbbing, aching, why-

"Look," Baddap gestures vaguely to his fallen friends. "You actually call this soccer? Your passion is hurting your teammates." No, no nono no- this isn't- Endou's hand lays limply at his side. "You really wanna hurt them some more?"

"Give up...soccer?" He says slowly. His heart hurts at the thought. It makes him feel...weird.

He feels cold. And somehow hot. Burning. Red.

"Give...moru...."

A sharp tug pulls at the back of his head –I need to protect, I'll stop- stop- thi- this shot— and he fights to not let it affect him. Endou clutches at his chest, heart racing and frantic. What's happening-?

The Ogre forward narrows his eyes at the goalkeeper's silence. "Either give up soccer," the ball is passed to him, "or choice two: you will DIE!" He kicks the ball up into the air, preparing to unleash his technique.

"GIVE UP CONTROL! MAMORU!"

Baddap shoots. "DEATH...SPEAR!"

The audience gasps, a cloud of dust covering the field at the powerful attack. Worried whispers fill the arena, had Endou caught Baddap's shot? Or had he failed?

From the bench, Aki murmurs worriedly. "Endou-kun..."

The smoke clears and-

"R-RAIMON'S GOALKEEPER STOPPED THE BALL!"

Kidou's eyes widen at the sight –his arm trembles, pushing himself up with no merit. There's an uncharacteristic -unnatural- angry scowl on the usually cheerful goalkeeper's face, the ball gripped tightly in his hand. He snarls at the gray-haired player -with actual hate and malice in his tone, he notes with surprise.

"You hurt Mamoru," he says, eyes shadowed. Baddap only reacts with the same stoic eyes, and Endou tosses the ball upwards.

"You." Red. His eyes are red. Red and furious. "Will." A dark aura surrounds him. He jumps. "PAY!" Red energy gathers around the ball and Endou kicks.
