Victory
The Deimon Devilbats break their huddle and line up for the last play. The score is 17-13, they're winning. There's three seconds left on the clock. And their opponents are on the two yard line. The game will be decided on this play. Whether Deimon holds them or they score, the game will be over after this play.
Komusubi is totally exhausted as he gets into his stance. His legs are sore, his lungs are burning, his throat is dry, and he's drenched with sweat, but it doesn't matter. His hand is on the line of scrimmage, and his toes are on the goal line. He looks to his master on one side and Juumonji on the other. Both have the same look of intense focus, totally ignoring their own fatigue. This is because they know that if any one of them is pushed back at all, their opponents will score. So Komusubi ignores the exhaustion that is setting in and focuses only on the player in front of him, preparing for his rocket-start.
Then Komusubi sees it. His enemy's hand moves. So he launches himself at him. Both collide with a mighty crash, both trying to force the other back. The two push and shove and struggle to move the other. While they are fighting for dominance over the other, Komusubi gets moved back. Not much, but enough for the running back to see it, and he takes the opportunity and rushes straight at Komusubi.
Komusubi sees the running back coming at him, and images start to flash through his mind. Images of himself, training with Kurita. Images of the excitement on Kurita's face when they got five linemen. Images of the way that the team struggled during the Death March. At that moment, he decides that he will not lose. He lets loose a mighty roar and puts all his strength into one last shove. His enemy's eyes go wide as he begins to lose his balance. Komusubi shoves him right at the running back, and all three go crashing to the ground at the goal line.
The crowd and players alike are silent, waiting to see the result of the play. The three players get up, and the ball is left, sitting mere inches from the line. He didn't make it. The referee gave the signal, which made it official; game over, Deimon had won. The crowd's voices came back, louder than ever before. Everyone on the Devilbats rushes Komusubi, hugging him, cheering him, and, in Hiruma's case, kicking him. Komusubi himself gets excited, and yells out a single word, "Victory!!!"
