[A/N:] Something different this time; instead of bloody babes, this time around you get a fluffy (yes, I'm gross like that) highschool AU in the Super Smash Bros. universe :-)

A boot crashed into the moist grass, sending raindrops jumping, the spikes on the soles digging into the soil and grasping at the mud. The force behind it never relented, only urging on, ever fighting. And the body shoved itself forward with a strength and determination that would have left most others breathless.

It didn't even duck to the side to avoid the human obstacle appearing before it, but instead shouldered it out of the way with unparalleled precision. A sharp exhale accompanied the hard tackle that quickly morphed into a cloud of white fog before dispersing through the greenish face mask bars of a carmine red helmet.
The sounds from a cheering crowd were muffled, almost entirely drowned out and for a long second, there was nothing but the satisfying thump of a body crashing to the ground as another boot was planted into the dirt.

The player clad in an orange uniform tightly held onto the pigskin secured beneath a muscular arm in a glove with a metallic green hue. The crowd roared as a multitude of opponents threw themselves at Zebes' rising star, hands trying to get a grip on the football.

But Samus Aran plowed through them like a bulldozer.

The quarterback tackled another guy away and kept running straight across the field, powerful legs catapulting her right into the end zone. A fist was pumped up through the thick curtain of rain, again and again, in rhythm with the chanting of the fans jumping from their seats.

A shout from the commentator echoed from the booth, "Touchdown! Touchdown!"

The Zebesians gathered in an excited rush, all clutching to the captain, the one who undoubtedly brought them to victory once more, and the air vibrated with a chorus of cheers and the well-known slogan of the school's team.

"Zebes KILL! Zebes KILL!"

Samus, star player of Zebes Highschool, accepted the praise with a satisfied smirk beneath her helmet, smacks and pats from her teammates thundering on the hard plastic shell that made her ears ring in an all too familiar manner.

The game was over. Over and won. The commentator positively lost it when the timer ticked down to zero and he announced the Zebesian Hunters as the winners. Samus took off her helmet and wiped a hand over her face, the cool rain on her skin very welcome.
"Damn, Samus! You were on fire today!" She turned and was nearly blinded by the shit-eating grin on Anthony's face. She patted him on the shoulder, "Nice pass." He nodded enthusiastically and accepted the praise from his captain. "Course, dude! We won us this one!"

It was really just another win for the team, not even in a competitive game but a friendly match between Zebes High and the neighboring Tallon High. Of course the Hunters would win. The Tallon Strikers had never been that much of a challenge and were hardly worth the exertion. That didn't mean that they were disrespected by the team though — quite the opposite, since many players from both schools were friends — but they simply were no match for the infamous Zebesian Hunters.

Samus exchanged a few courteous words with the Tallon's captain and then the team was dismissed into the showers. They were all completely soaked through and with the adrenaline subsiding, the cold from the weather outside became apparent.
She tugged her uniform, all murky orange, from her body and quickly disappeared into the girl's changing room before hopping under the deserted shower. She privately smirked to herself; one of the benefits of being the only girl contributing to a predominately male sport.

Granted, the faucets were crap, but the hot water did its job and eased the strain on her muscles. It was a wholly welcome end to the day.

[A/N:] So much for the teaser. If you're interested, stay tuned! I plan to upload some more content later this week. Also, please note that I have absolutely zero idea what you do when playing football. You play different things where I come from :-P

Don't forget to review ;-)
