The Choice

It has been three years Aarch had asked Zeke Mayori to play for the Snow Kids as a Defender

I remember when he first made his appearance in front of all of us he made an impression.

Flashback: Ladies and Gentlemen I'd like to introduce our new defender Zeke. The boy

Walked into the room, he had black hair down on his shoulders was fairly fit and had a

Glare in his eyes. He spoke "hi I'm your new defender" Djok was the first to speak out

"But coach we already have Mei and Thran why do we need a new defender?" Aarch replied

"Well Djok I'll answer your question with a video". The following video contained footage of

Mei and Thran falling to the floor and being beaten by the stronger players like Luur and

Sinned. After awhile Tia spoke "we get it coach" he turned off the video "so you see we need

A defender who can take a hit and get backup" Djok spoke "prove it" Zeke frowned "how?"

Djok grinned Ahito is the strongest of us and he can push 50KG on the Weight lift what can

You do?" Micro Ice countered "C'mon Djok that isn't fair" but Zeke was already walking

Towards the weights he laid down and ushered to Yuki "will you spot me?" she went over

And asked "what weight level do you want?" "He grinned "put me on 40KG" she pressed a

Button and put it on 40KG and Zeke began lifting the weights "more" Yuki put it up to 45KG

But Zeke didn't stop "more weight" Yuki put it on 50KG the same level as Ahito but then he

Continued again "more weight" Yuki put it on 60KG. Sweat was coming down him now

Dame Sinbai was in shock this boy was in perfect condition the whole room was silent.

Yuki began to lower the weight's but Zeke spoke "More!!" Yuki gasped but complied

Putting it on 70KG. They all watched in amazement and Tia secretly admired his Muscles and

6 Pack and then blushed at the thought. Zeke started to strain and then chucked the weights

Down and laughed "proof enough for you" the room was silent until Rocket spoke "hey lets

Relax where here to train and have fun "fun?" Zeke asked "I come from the poorer sector of

Genesis Stadium but was born in Akillian and I've come to learn that winning is everything

Anything else is shame only one can stand at the top the others fall and I have no intention off

Losing" Zeke then left the room Ahito broke the silence by waking up with a start "what I

Miss?" and then fell back to sleep.

The next day

"Alright let's get training" said Clamp the whole team walked in the dome. Aarch spoke on

The speaker "alright there is ten of us now so lets have a five on five match. Djok,

Rocket, Ahito Mei and Mark vs. Yuki, Tia, Micro Ice, Thran and Zeke. They all took there

Positions on the field. Djok and Micro Ice both went for the ball but Djok being taller

Managed to pass the ball to Rocket who ran up with the ball. Tia approached Rocket but

Remembered when they had kissed under the tree's and let Rocket run past her. Rocket

Knew what had happened but could not let personal feelings get in the way. But while he

Was thinking he was intercepted by Zeke with a slide tackle taking the ball and passing it to

Micro Ice. Zeke then went up to Tia "what the hell just because he's your Boyfriend doesn't

Mean that you let him pass Get in the game" Zeke walked off leaving Tia scared his voice in

Her ears WHAT THE HELL?!!! JUST BECAUSE HE'S YOU BOYFRIEND!!!!!

GET IN THE GAME!!!!. Mark was beaten by Micro Ice but then lost the ball to Mei who

Passed it to Djok, Tia seemed to have snapped out of it and intercepted Djok running with the

Ball. Activating the Breath she jumped into the air and smashed the ball straight at Ahito.

However Ahito countered by also activating the Breath and deflected the ball to Mei who

Dodged Micro Ice and passed the ball to Mark who in turn passed the ball to Djok. Djok

Activated the Breath, quickly dodging Thran leaving Zeke and Yuki left. Grinning he shouted

"Take this!" and he took the shot empowered with the Breath straight at the goal. He had

Beaten Yuki and it was a goal until Zeke out of nowhere deflected the ball then controlling

The ball he shouted "you call that a kick try this" and with blinding strength smashed the ball

To Micro Ice. Djok could not believe it such strength without the Breath he could not even

Begin to imagine what a shot like that could do with the breath. Micro Ice was going for the

Shot but as he kicked the ball it disappeared the game was over. Aarch spoke on the speaker

"Nice job everyone hit the showers" they all started to leave the room but Zeke approached

Tia "listen I'm sorry" Tia was caught off guard "huh?!" Zeke replied "I shouldn't have gotten

Angry we are teammates we need to work together so I'm sorry" he raised his hand in a shake

Tia accepted this and they shook "yeah me too" and then Tia saw for the first time Zeke smile

"Well gotta go catch ya later" and Zeke left.

Zeke was on his way back to his apartment he'd bought with his salary but he knew he

Wouldn't get a quiet return. He was on his way back when he bumped into this girl causing

Her to drop her belongings "aaah shit I'm sorry" "oh no please it was my fault" after they put

The stuff back into her bag they looked at each other and Zeke realized that this girl was

Beautiful. Trying to find the words he spoke "err sorry my bad" the girl smiled "oh it was no

Problem well see you around" she waved good bye and left leaving him stunned "ye…yeah

See ya …. Around" the silence was broken as a 6 year old boy jumped on his back "aaaaaah"

The boy started to laugh "watcha doing big bro? Were you checking out that girl?" a grin

Came across his face "you were weren't you ha ha ha ha ha" "aah shut up Sam" Sam climbed

On his shoulders "let's go" Zeke laughed "yeah" Zeke walked for ten minutes with Sam on

His shoulder's and they entered the garden area. The Garden area was usually uninhabited

Because it always poured with artificial rain for the flowers when Sam asked why he bought

An apartment here he had replied simply "I like the rain" they got soaking wet but Zeke

Smiled the whole time. When they got home two boys and three girls all the same age jumped

On him "BIG BROTHER!!!" "Ow ow get…of...me" they all got off "did ya bring us

Anything?" "Check the bag" they dived into it and squealed in joy "Candy!!!!!!!!"

"Ok eat and watch TV I need to leave early tomorrow so I'm going to sleep"

They all left him be and watched a replay of the Snow Kids vs. Shadows final match.

Zeke's bed was outside he just lay there and listened to the rain before falling asleep.
