~The Bond That Makes People Fight~

Everyone was doing practice after school. Hiruma made Eyeshield 21 and Monta practice the pass routes and were tired to the max. Monta acted dramatically so Mamori would pay attention to him. But she was helping Yukimitsu with his practice and Monta felt depressed.

Sena was starting to collapse from exhaustion. "The field too wide. What's the best way to defend in a long pass?"

Kurita came with the game board. "Other than entering with the catch, there's another method to defend the catch."

Sena looked at Kurita. "Getting the quarterback before the catch?"

Kurita spread his arms in joy. "Correct!" He then made his figure on the game board to charge at the enemy. "This is the charge that will smash the opponents wall. We should be alright if we bring down Homer-kun before he throws the shuttle pass." Kurita looked at Komusubi and the Hah-Hah brothers. "This is where the line will try their best!"

"Usually, but we can't win against those guys with only that." Hiruma came with boxes of pretz. He then shoved one to Monta face. "We're going to go with 'Blitz'!"

Monta grabbed the pretz and looked puzzled. "What on earth is that?"

Hiruma shoved all the figures on the game board to Homer. "Everyone will abandon their position! Just strike ahead to crush Homer! YA-HA!"

Sena would have face-palm herself but she was wearing her helmet.

Monta decided to say something about their defense side. "But if we do that then the rear defense will become completely empty!"

Kurita looked at his hands fidgeting. "A few of us will remain back."

Hiruma clocked his pistol. "Sink or swim! Kill or be killed!" He turned to Kurita and made him put on a sign saying 'Nasa chickens'. "We'll practice with the Homer doll immediately. We'll over throw the Nasa chickens!" He then took out a doll with homer face taped on it.

Kurita put himself as the Nasa defense and Eyeshield had to blitz him.

Monta looked at the positions. "That's what we're going to tackle? Looks painful."

Sena really didn't want to hear that. 'Thanks Monta.' She thought sarcastically. 'But in the Taiyou match, I successfully tackled once. Anyways if we can't do this blitz we can't win in the American match.' "Lets do it."

Monta began and blitz Kurita.

Kurita then went next and tackled the homer doll. The doll started to crack.

Finally Eyeshield tackled with them. 'Right. To beat the Americans... Musashi-San will come back to us!' The homer doll the broke in half on some small pieces.

"Lets do more morning practice!"

Sena looked at Monta as if he was crazy.

Monta decided to explain more. "We'll come with Kurita-senpai and the others early in the morning. You know, the thing were they ram stuff!"

Sena started to think."It seems painful but it's true that you might need it when doing the blitz."

Kurita and Komusubi stepped outside and stood proudly. "We start every morning at 2AM!"

Sena sweat-drops. Monta complained. "Even the subway is not running at that time."

Kurita kept smiling. "How about this, you leave for the school from my house, just like Komusubi."

Kurita got his stuff and lead them to his place. "It's right over there, the Buddhist temple which belongs to a sect called Mourenshuu."

When they got there, they were greeting by Kurita father. "Ryokan I see that you are home." He then saw the other. "And brought friends."

Kurita nodded and said "They are all from the football club. Can they stay over so we can train in the morning?"

Kurita father thought for a bit and nodded. "Sure, but you know the rules when girls are over." And left.

Sena was confused and looked at Kurita. "What rule?"

~few minutes later~

"No."

"Come on Sena! I'm sure you look good in it!" Monta tried to convince Sena to get out of the dressing closet.

"No, I'm not coming out."

"I'm really sorry Sena, but this is the rule in the temple! Could you please come out?"

Sena heard that Kurita was really sorry and gave in. "Fine. But no pictures to Hiruma, if not I shot you and the camera."

Monta cursed and put away his camera.

Sena came out. Those three blushed. She was beautiful. She looked like a princess! She was wearing a kimono that was black and had red flower patterns on it. She really did look like the devil mistress. (Me:not very good at describing.)

Sena snapped them out of it by asking. "Kurita-senpai, should I help with the house chores, cause that's all I can do right now."

Kurita had a little blush on his cheeks and nodded.

Sena went off to the kitchen and started to cook.

Monta sighed and said "To bad she's already taken."

Kurita and Komusubi were shocked and looked at him. "She is!"

Monta was startled and said "I thought you would have known. I'll give you a hint. He's the devil of our school."

Kurita knew instantly who it was. "Really! I guess that explains why he's more happy than usually. I just thought it was because of us getting more team members."

~1 hour later~

BAM

Sena slammed 30 plates of sushi In front of them. They were amazed at how much she cooked.

"Damn Sena, I knew that you were a great cook but not this great! Why you make so many?" Monta look curiously at her.

Sena blushed a bit and said "I cook a lot when I'm angry or pissed."

They all just laughed it off.

When they started eating, Monta noticed something. "The quality is good, but the quantity..."

Sena dropped her head. "Sorry." They all then tried to cheer her up or say it was fine. "Oh yeah. I found this while I was cooking and cleaning." She took out a headband that said 'Panther' and head a black panther on it. "Is this yours?" Kurita shook his head. "Hm. I wonder who it belongs to. Oh we'll." Sena stood up. "You guys keep eating. I'm doing the laundry and almost finish with it. Be right back" they all just continued eating.

Sena went outside and saw people there, talking in English.

"Where is it!"

"Do you see it?"

"No! I hope it's here!"

They turned and saw Sena standing there.

Sena was a bit shocked at seeing panther there with Homer looking for something.

They decided to talk to her. Or at least try.

"Excuse me miss, have you seen a headband?" Panther then did a weird movement.

Homer tried to help. "Yeah, with a panther on it." And added more weird movement.

Sena started to giggle. 'I know I can understand them, but... This is way too funny.'

"Aw man. She must think we're doing a weird dance."

Sena stepped down and walked up to Patrick. "Is this yours?" (Me:this is panther real name)

They were both astonished to see she spoke English but were jovial that she had it. "Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Sena bowed. "You're welcome Panther. Or should I say Patrick?"

They were taken aback. "You know who I am?"

Sena smiled. "Of course. I'm the football manager so I have to know."

Monta slide the door open. "Sena what taking you so-" he then saw them. "EEEHHH! What are the NASA aliens doing here?!"

Sena giggled and said. "They were looking for something and found it. Why don't we invite them to eat?"

They three just nodded happily.

Minutes later, the whole football team was there eating and drinking. By drinking I mean alcohol.

"So you made this!" They all shouted.

Sena blushed and waved it off. "Yes but it's not that good."

Panther looked at Sena and asked "Is Eyeshield 21 here?"

Sena smiled but felt a little bad. 'I mustn't tell him. He has to find out in his own way.' "Yes I can't tell you who he is."

Panther felt a little sad but looked up. "I've come all the da way just to throw down Eyeshield . I gotta start winning shit. If I can make it into the NFL I can earn $500,00 a game."

Sena looked puzzled. "Are you only playing so you can win money?"

Panther shook his head. "No. You see I only have my gramma left and I need it so I can give her a better life then that only apartment. But I still love football with all my heart so I give it my all!"

Sena understood. 'He must have been born poor. He doing this for his grandmother and his spirit.'

Homer sluggishly but an arm around Sena. "Hey Panther, if you marry her then we won't have to eat your grandma oatmeal anymore!"

Panther blushed a bit. "Hey I like my grandma oatmeal!"

Sena face was red and stuttered a bit. "I-I-I-I really h-hope you guys are joking."

They got confused by this.

Monta decided to answer. "She's already dating someone." (Me: I know Monta failing english, but this might be the only time he says something in english.)

"EEEHHH!"

"And living with him." He said playfully.

Sena face was red as a cherry.

Homer felt sad that he couldn't get her to marry him and started to sob like a drunk. Considering he is a bit tipsy.

For some reason Panther felt anger and jealousy and decided to grab Sena and made both of them run.

Panther noticed that Sena still kept up to him. When they got to the park Patrick stopped. "By any chance, are you Eyeshield 21?"

Sena smiled gently and nodded."Yes but in the normal world, my name is Kobayakawa Sena."

Panther burst out laughing. "I was looking for Eyeshield and I had all along by my side!" When Patrick calmed down a bit he looked at Sena again. "I hope do challenge you in the game. If the coach lets me, that is."

Sena kept smiling and said "Don't worry. I know he will."

Hiruma went to Kurita house and found most of the NASA shuttles drunk on the floor. He was surprised that they were there until Kurita explained what happened. He then went on a hunt to kill a certain panther who kidnapped his girlfriend.

For some odd reason he went to the park and found panther in the trash can asleep. He started to shoot at him and woke him up. "W-what!" Hiruma looked at him series and asked. "Where. Is. Sena?" Panther was scared for a moment. "I don't know. Last thing a remember was that we promised to play each other in the game." Hiruma didn't bother to ask.

Cereberos started barking and made a move to follow him. When they reached their destination, they saw that they were in front of a lion cage.

There were three lion all cuddle up when normally they wouldn't.

Hiruma shoot at them but only cause a ruckes for them to raise their heads. He then saw it. A hair of brown. "Fucking Chibi!?"

He then saw Sena stretch out her arms and rubbed her eyes. "Yoichi? What are you doing here?"

Hiruma grew a vain. "Shouldn't I be asking that!?"

Sena yawned. "It was late last night and the lions were kind enough to let me sleep with them.

Hiruma really wanted to slap himself. "Then get the fuck out!"

While Sena was getting out of the cage, Panther looked at Hiruma. He had a poker face on but was a bit still tense by this. Hiruma felt him stare. "What?" "Are you Sena boyfriend?"
Hiruma looked at him without a care in the world. "So what if I am?" Panther chuckled a bit. "No, it's nothing." Hiruma just shrugged it off.

Hiruma and Sena went to Kurita place and saw most of them were drunk asleep. "Sheesh, these guys can't take their alcohol."

Sena grabbed her bag and went to the bathroom to change.

When she came back, she saw the most strangest thing ever.

Kurita dad was waking everyone up by hitting their butts' with a broom and shouting "You guys are still in high school! You should not be drinking alcohol!"

When he saw Sena he bowed. "I'm sorry how these men acted."

Sena bowed back. "It's ok. I had... An eventful night."

With that Hiruma and Sena left.

When they got to the clubhouse, they saw Musashi standing outside. Sena was curious. "Musashi? What are you doing here?"

Musashi saw them. "I wanted to talk to you guys about something. But not out here."

Sena nodded and opened the door.

Hiruma and Musashi sat on the chairs while Sena made coffee.

Hiruma looked at Musashi straight in the eye. "So. What did you want to talk about?"

~few minutes later~

"KEKEKEKEK! Did you just say that if we win, that you'll come back to the team? Interesting!" Hiruma was grinning.

Musashi sipped a bit of coffee. "Well I did make the deal with your girlfriend."

Hiruma looked at Sena while grinning, while she just looked away blushing.

Musashi chuckled. "You've trained a great bunch of freshmen. Both of you are alike. You guys would do anything to achieve your goals. Hurry up and get a new kicker."

Sena frowned. Hiruma just kept grinning. "Stop-sleep talking, fucking old geezer. How can we possibly win the fall tournament with some makeshift kicker? I've got nothing to worry about. You'll come back."

Musashi leaned back and kept smiling. "You haven't changed a single bit, always doing as you wish."

Sena smiled.

Hiruma came up with an idea. "That's not really true."

Musashi and Sena looked at Hiruma surprised. "What's that?"

Hiruma gave Sena a grin. "I can't her in bed with me."

Sena looked confused. 'What is he talking about? I sleep in bed with.'

3 :0

2'^'

1 :x

"EEEEEHHHH?" Sena understood the meaning behind it and blushed furiously.

"KEKEKEKEKE! It took you that long to figure it out! KEKEKEKEKE!"

Musashi laughed along. "Hehehe. I can see why you can't. Hehehe."

Sena looked at the ground but kept blushing. "Don't bully me!"

The day of the game came. The Devil bats came to the stadium and saw it was full.

"WOOAAH!"

"A great lot came!" Kurita said surprised.

Hiruma popped his gun. "Kekeke. This is different from the match against Sphinx. All of them are on our side."

Monta and Sena saw the TV set. "Woah! TV!" "I'm getting more and more fired up!"

"Here comes the Nasa Aliens!"

Sena looked at them and saw they were different. 'Their expressions are different from the party... As if they're completely different people...'

Hiruma and Apollo shook hands and talked. (Me: not really. )

"Thank you for that childish video. I swear that you guys were still wearing diapers."

"You have strong hallucinations! You need to wear adult diapers so you won't wet yourself on the bench!"

And the cursing challenge starts. (Me: *hits the bell*)

Hiruma starts. "Your *beep* is so small it's useless!"

Apollo turn. "*beep* is so much bigger then you Japanese *beep*"

Hiruma returns the attack. "Let me see you *beeeep* panel *beep*"

Apollo continues. "My *beep* is so big that it hits the water when I piss!"

Hiruma attacks again. "That limp *beep* couldn't satisfy an ant!"

Mamori was shocked. "The only thing I know is that they're using horrible words in slang."

Sena looked away with a horrible blush. 'Why do I have to understand them! Know I can't get the horrible images out!'

Hiruma saw Sena blush and whispered to her ear "Dont worry, I'll fit." Sena just kept blushing and started to shoot at Hiruma. "SHUT UP!"

Apollo looked pissed. "Don't get too cocky, yellow monkey... Do you still remember the deal?"

Hiruma kept his devil grin on and brought out a horn. "Of course we do." He then turned to the Nasa players. "It's you guys who need to remember that you guys don't win by a ten point difference then you'll never go back to America!"

"WHAT!"

Panther looked at Jeremy. "We made a deal!?"

Jeremy nodded. "Yeah, so we can't afford to lose."

Homer called in a huddle. "Listen up! Even thou we owe them for the sushi, but... That got nothing to do with match." He made the whole team stand in a straight line. "Show them no mercy. Let's use our full strength and defeat them from the start!" Nasa lifted their leg. "This is one small step for men, one giant leap for Nasa aliens victory!" They all then stomped the ground together.

Hiruma laughed at them. "How cocky... Let's scare out of their wits with an easy to understand cheer in English."

"WE'LL KILL THEM!"

Apollo talked to Homer. "Start with a long-one! Let's score a touchdown with our first offense!"

Hiruma talked in the huddle. "They'll do a long pass right away. Do as you did during practice. Get him before he does that. We're Blitzing!" Hiruma pointed at Eyeshield 21. "Fucking Shrimp! Your going up first!" "Why me!"

SET

All Eyeshield thought about was the practice. 'Do exactly as training. Just do like I did during training.'

Monta looked at Eyeshield 21. 'Sena, we're counting on you.'

'Tackle Homer, before he starts!'

HUT

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Eyeshield ran toward Homer.

"It's the blitz attack!"

"He's so fast!"

Kurita tries to destroy the wall between Homer but was pushed back. The same with the Ha-Ha brothers.

Mamori noticed something while she was recording. "They gave a feeling that they can not be moved. No matter how hard you push. Like against the Egyptian team linebacker..."

Yukimitsu noticed it too. "Against them... No matter how many times you push, you'll be re-bounced back!"

Eyeshield tried to get past them but was easily pushed back.

Homer made the shuttle pass.

"That far!"

"if the ball reaches the destination, they'll score!"

Ishimaru tried to catch the Nasa running back but he was too fast. Monta went after him. "Sena! We're the last line of defense! Let's chase him together!" He looked to around and saw no Eyeshield. "What da?" He looked behind him and saw Eyeshield still on the ground. "Oh no! Why are you still there?!" Eyeshield reminded Monta "Because in the Blitz attack I'm suppose to be attacking."

While in the air, Homer noticed something wrong. "Oh crap! I threw it too hard." The running back didn't catch it.

PASSING FAIL

Mamori and Yukimitsu gave a sigh of relieve.

Monta looked at Eyeshield. "Using the Blitz attack is really dangerous. Lets not use it too often."

Hiruma made it worse. "Let's increase the use of the Blitz move." This mad Eyeshield mentally cry.

SET

HUT

HUT

The line was being pushed by the linebacker while three of the players were running to attack Homer. Komusubi broke through the defense line and tackled Homer. "Success!" Homer smirked. Hiruma saw. "Not yet! Get him you two pieces of shit!"

Homer again made the shuttle pass. Jeremy completed the pass.

TOUCHDOWN

Apollo started to laugh decontrolling be. "HAHAHAHAHA! The Blitz attack is your answer to the Shuttle Pass! If that's all, then we have nothing to worry about! So the brain of the hello monkey is that big!"

Monta yanked off his helmet. "That bear hug of Komusubi didn't have any effect!?" Eyeshield tried to calm him down. "If that's the case, then we have less chance of being able to stop them." That didn't really work.

The game continued but they kept failing. The linebacker kept getting bounced back. Eyeshield tried to make a pass but was bounced back. When they did the Blitz move again, one of them got over them and tackled home but he already did the shuttle pass.

TOUCHDOWN

Monta got pissed. "What is this!? The Blitz attack that we trained for so hard is useless!"

Hiruma started to shot at the air. "That because you used that fucking bear hug! If you lose to others in strength, use you whole body to stop them!"

Apollo started to boast to himself. "There's already a 10 point difference? Looks like you guys will be leaving Japan!"

SET

HUT

Eyeshield tried to do a pass. 'If we can't stop their Shuttle Pass, then the score difference will only get bigger and bigger! If that's the case... Musashi...' While doing the pass, the Nasa players pushed her and made her out of bounce. They also pushed her to Cereberus cage to wake him up and get out of his cage. Cereberus sniffed and found pretzel sticks in Yukimitsu hand. He went after him but stopped right in front of him. This confused Yukimitsu. He then bit his hand so he would let go of them. (Me: what a smart dog.) this only gave Eyeshield and idea. Eyeshield went to Hiruma and Kurita. "Is it Aliens turn to attack now?" They nodded. "The Blitz attack... Can you let me do it?" Kurita and Hiruma looked confused.

SET

Kurita looked at his opponents. 'Its rare for Sena to volunteer. Let's let her have a try!'

Hiruma and Eyeshield were having their own conversation. "KEKEKEKEKE! Homers weak point? That's right. But the opponents will know and take care of it." Eyeshield looked worried. "So wether it works or not..." Hiruma kept grinning. "You must attack at a speed they cannot guard against! Can you do it?" Eyeshield looked confident. "I'll do it!"

HUT

Eyeshield again tried to do a Blitz but instead Kurita broke the wall and let her pass.

Apollo laughed at them. "Do you still not understand our strength?"

Homer laughed at her to. 'My lineman will be able to stop him. I have lots of time to pass. Even if they fail I have my muscles. With Eyeshield strength, he can't do anything to me.' "Alright here it comes!" One second he saw Eyeshield far away. The next she was right in front of him. "WWWWHHAATT!"

The Nasa team freaked out. "The final burst of speed was so fast!"

Apollo dropped his cigerates.

Hiruma cackled. "When you see Eyeshield 21, then it's too late for you!"

Eyeshield grabbed onto his arm and weight him out. "You little punk!" Eyeshield kept hanging on. 'No matter how powerful someone is, as long as you grab the arm, they cannot throw anything!' Homer tried to throw the ball. "HANG ON!" He threw it but then Eyeshield let go and caught it.

"STOP HIM!" Apollo shouted.

Every Nasa player went after her but she passed them quickly. Then she went up against a big player and stopped.

Apollo relaxed. "He's scared. Japanese are always frightened when in front of death."

When the big player tried to stop her, she vanished. Apollo was again surprised.

Panther knew that move. 'Change of pace! Same thing happened in the tackle before! When you think she stopped, she passes you in top speed the next second! This is Eyeshield 21! This is true speed!'

Hiruma cackled. "KEKEKE. She ran like that during the 40-yard test. When you think she's scared and shrink backs, she breaks out, surpassing Shin with the fastest speed in Japan. Her speed is very erratic."

Kurita understood. "This inconsistency! Isn't this change of speed!?"

Hiruma gave a devil grin. "That's her instinct. A cowardly ordinary person who is always running errands for other people, becomes a hero in the world of American football"

Panther looked at her. 'Compared to her, da'hell am I doing here? Siting on the bench like an idiot!' He began to move his legs in a running formation.

Homer was on the ground looking at Eyeshield. 'Shit, he's fast! The fastest in out team is Watt 40-yard-run in 4.8 sec. This guy speed has to be 4.6 sec or less. No one I. Our team could catch up to him! No one?' He then looked on the posts and was shocked.

TOUCHDOWN

Everyone cheered.

Apollo was starting to get stressed.

Eyeshield looked back. 'No one in the aliens team could catch up to me. If I run in this speed and lose them, I don't have to scared of their power!'

Sena felt a stare of terror and turned.

There was panther. On top of the post. Looking at its prey.

Kurita was shocked. "Does that mean he ran even before Sena-chan, and climbed up there?"

Hiruma didn't like this.

Panther and Eyeshield gave challenging eyes.

PIPIPI

"What are you doing! Please get down at once!"

"Sorry! Sorry!" Panther jumped off.

Homer chuckled. "How's that? Take a look at our panther. Aliens real ace is not me!"

"No one said Homer was our ace."

Homer glared at them. "Shut up."

Monta walked up to Eyeshield. "So that's panther. Dangerous to the max. Luckily he's not playing in the game."

"Later on..." Monta turned to Eyeshield. "Will he be playing later on? Yea, maybe he'll play in the second half."

Monta started to hit her helmet with his helmet. "What are you talking about Baka! Have you forgotten? If we win, Musashi-senpai will come back! More importantly, if we lose, we have to leave Japan!" Eyeshield hit Monta arm to stop. "That's only if they win by 10 points!" Monta stomped away.

Eyeshield looked at Nasa team. 'I know all that, but... Just like when I battled against Sei-kun, my legs won't rest... I want to fight!'

Apollo looked pissed. "Bunch of yellow monkeys."

Monta overheard him and got even more pissed that it made him look like a monkey. "Monkey!?"

Hiruma called for a group huddle. "Will the Blitz attack continue to work? They'll be expecting it. So from now on, whoever uses the better strategy will win!"

Somehow Apollo knew what they were saying. "Hm. You Japanese people only know how to act like monkeys. You think you can beat us in strategy." He looked toward Jeremy. "When you deliver a crushing defeat, how do I say it in Japanese?" Jeremy said "gyahun!" (Me:it says here that it means defeated completely.)

Eyeshield looked at Panther. 'That's right. Because that guy is such a racist, Panther can't play a real match!' She clenched her fists.

Apollo looked at Hiruma smirking. "You want to play strategies? I'm gonna take you down to gyahun!"

SET

HUT

Homer was going to make a pass and Monta was running toward him. 'I remember how Sena grabbed Homer arm!' "I'll grab his hand!" Monta tackled Homer to the ground.

PASS INCOMPLETE

Apollo started to laugh. "No problem, no problem. Because soon, that Devil Bats line will be crushed!"

Monta leaped out of happiness. "Style max!" Sena five handed him. "Are we still going to use the Blitz attack?" Hiruma was about to respond when he heard...

"Blue 27!"

Nasa then went into a formation.

SET

Apollo laughed. "The DevilBats weakness, is that they don't have any strategist or manager on the bench. Even if we didn't have strategy meetings, we can still give instruction to the players. Because we still have people on the bench to direct them. We are an experienced team, even without strategies, we now what to do! What will you do now!?"

"Two people will use the Blitz Attack! Those in the center will attack Homer!" Hiruma shouted. "That's too loud..." Sena said. "We don't have a choice! They can't understand us anyway!" Hiruma shouted back.

Jeremy smirked and made a hand signal behind his back showing that two people will tackle Homer. Homer understood.

HUT

Apollo looked at the field. "If they get two people from the center to do Blitz, then no one will be guarding the center. If someone ran there, that person can go threw with ease."

What he saw wasn't as expected.

There was no space in the center and people guarded Jeremy so he wouldn't get the ball.

"HA?"

"Why are there so many people?"

Homer noticed. "There's no space to pass. I can't pass the ball!" He threw the ball to nowhere and made an incomplete pass.

"YA-HA! Success!"

Eyeshield looked at Monta. 'I was scared someone would see through that play.'

~FLASHBACK~

Hiruma banged on the poker table. "When the enemy doesn't let us have as tragedy meeting, whatever I say at that time is just to scare them. You must follow the secret sign."

~FLASHBACK END~

Eyeshield looked at their side of the game. 'Even through we're all on the same team, what he said almost fooled me. I must watch the secret more carefully.'

Apollo tried to not look piss by smiling but was failing. "Those monkeys are making us look like jackass! I'll skip the next strangely meeting too!" He thought for a few minutes. "I finally understand... He uses simple hand signs to tell what the should do." He saw Hiruma say how many blitz should be down and saw his hand made a 0 sign. '0, so he just used this hand signal. That means there won't be anyone doing blitz.' "Hehehe, not bad you know. To do little tricks... But you only have the IQ of a jackass! Red 35!"

Homer nodded. "Ok!"

HUT

'I just need to wait slowly, till Walter gets to the point since no one will Blitz me.' He started to make his form. He looked at the line. "Why are there so many people rushed over here!" Komusubi tackled him.

Apollo was getting frustrated. "How... How did this happen!? Why? He was using his hand signal?!"

Sena turned toward Hiruma. "What did you mean by that hand signal?" Hiruma cackled. "That was just to confuse the old geezer. How long to plan to eat idiot manager!?" Is caught Apollo attention. "Is it because you're so hungry you showed 3?" Mamori huffed. "I did think the plan carefully!"

Apollo remembered how many she was holding. Mamori was holding here pretzel sticks. "That fucking bitch!" He accidentally hit the bench too hard and made it crack "gyahun!"

Hiruma turned toward Eyeshield. "Okay! Now it's our turn to attack! Let them have a taste of the attacking DevilBats!?" "Yes!"

Eyeshield tried to do another touchdown but was tackled in front by surprises. When she tries again, she was tackled again with when the first half-finished.

HALF-TIME

Everyone came to the bench exhausted.

Eyeshield looked at the total. "8 point difference..." Monta looked at it too. "In order for Musashi-senpai to come back, we must score at least 9 more points. But we also have to win by ten points so we won't leave Japan." Eyeshield started to think. "Even if we stop their defense, it wouldn't be any use if we can't beat their defense."

Kurita saw Cereberos sleeping with crumbs all over him. "Geez! Cereberos is so wasteful." He started to pick them up and look at them hungry. He was about to put them in his mouth when Sena and Monta convinced him not to.

Mamori saw what he did. "Thank you. I'll do the cleaning. Go get some rest."

Hiruma looked at the broom. "Al-right let's do it. Our sweeper attack!"

Kurita was confused. "Sweeper... What's that?" Hiruma took out the football field table and slam it on the ground. "I didn't have any time to teach you bitches cuz we were too busy training our defense! You fucking shrimps better learn this shit during this half time break!" He arranged the dolls like in the game. "Let get to the point. Cuz of this shit blocking the side you can't move up the field. Right?" Eyeshield nodded. "This will be easy" he grabbed Mamori broom and "We put more people in the front. And all the trash will be..." He then used the broom to sweep the rest of Nasa off. "Swept out!" Kuroki didn't like it. "Who's gonna do that?" Hiruma pointed his guns at the Hah-Hah brothers. "That all up to you lineman!"

"Huh!?"

"Huuh!?"

"Huuuh!?"

Hiruma grabbed all the lineman dolls and moved them. "Everyone of you must protect the Eyeshield, and move up field by hanging around the sideline. Just sweep all the trash out-of-the-way... Push them as hard as you can!" Eyeshield looked at them. 'I hope they're not going to get into another fight.' Hiruma pointed at the lineman and gave them his command. "You guys must protect Eyeshield! If not, there's no way we can score! What will make the difference between winning and losing, is the moment the lineman prove they are part of this team!" This stork a cord in Jumonji. He remembered how his father disrespected him and his friends. 'This is our only chance. I won't let them shit like that again! With this 'sweeper', I will show them how strong we are!' "Eyeshield-Senpai?" Eyeshield turned to Jumonji surprised. 'Oh yeah, they don't know who I am.' "You are strong. We will make a hole in their defense and you run through. In terms of strength, we might not be stronger than them, we might not be able to beat those fucking Americans. But... I need to show some people... Please... Kuroki, Togano and I, will at least try to shield you for a moment... So you can go through them..."

SET

Eyeshield looked at the Hah-Hah brothers. 'Ever since I met them, I talked to them honestly. I always thought because of those photos, they joined the game. Those three don't know anything about Musashi. We all have different reasons to fight. But we have the same goal... To win!'

HUT

The linebacker started to push. Komusubi tried to break the line but kept getting bounced back. When he saw that Kurita didn't have that issue, he started to push harder to not get bounced off. The Hah-Hah brothers also started to push their opponents to make a hole. 'Its open!' Jumonji saw it. 'Even if it's just a little... Even for a while...' Eyeshield passed through them and as soon as she passed she got tackled.

10 YARDS ADVANCED

The crowd started to cheer for her.

"That's great, Eyeshield 21!"

"Eyeshield 21!"

"But it's hard to yell such a long name."

"E.S!"

"E.S!"

"E.S!"

"E.S!"

Monta and Eyeshield were amazed. "Woah to the max!"

"You blocked that well!"

"Kuroki! Togano!"

Kuroki and Togano were also amazed. "Everyone is praising us!" Jumonji turned to them. "If we win... Everyone will respect us. Those who lose, are worse than trash." Hiruma pointed at them. "Winning is a must if you got something you want! This is the world of American football!"

Monta turned and saw Eyeshield looking at Panther. "Man." He then started to drag her. "Look, wanna get Panther running? Listen to my awesome max plan. Just know your boyfriend-" "SSHH!" "Sorry, Hiruma-senpai said, 'if there's something you want, you gotta win!' So we gotta beat the other team with a huge point diffrence! If we lead them by more than 10 points, what'dya think will happen?" Eyeshield understood. (Me: in reality, all Monta could think about was that Panther would come in too late and they'll still win. What an idiot.)

Monta looked at Eyeshield with a huge smile. "How's that? Simple right?" Eyeshield shook her head. "It's not that simple, although I really want to have a match with Panther, how will we get a 10 point lead? It's not that easy." Monta punched his fist together. "If you get series, you won't have to worry whether you can do it or not. I'll help ya."

SET

HUT

Eyeshield did a sweep and got more 10 more advance each.

Apollo was starting to get angry. "What the hell are you guys doing!? They're just a bunch of yellow monkeys!"

TOUCHDOWN

Panther went on his knees and bowed to Apollo. "Coach! I beg you! Please let me defeat he-him!" 'I forgot they don't know Eyeshield is a girl.'

Apollo spit on him. "What the hell are you talking? Ball boy."

Eyeshield looked at the score. "We're still behind by 2 points." Monta got excited. "Let's stop this attack!"

Apollo looked at the Devil Bats side. "They're not huddling again? The number of people Blitzing is..." He looked at Mamori. "0. No wait. Is that the fake signal this time?" He looked at Yukimatsu. "1?" He looked at Cereberos shitting. "3?" (Me: WTF) Apollo started to crush his cigerates. "I won't fall for your tricks anymore! This is based on ability! There's no way these yellow monkeys can defeat our shuttle pass!"

HUT

This time the Aliens did a shuttle pass and made a touchdown.

TOUCHDOWN

HUT

It was the Devil Bats turn and they did a sweep. What the Aliens didn't see was that Eyeshield didn't have the ball until too late. Hiruma passed it to Monta who made a touchdown.

TOUCHDOWN

They made another touchdown until they had 5 more points than Nasa did. This frustrated Apollo and hit the bench hard to leave a crack. 'Shit! We are in deep shit!' He turned and saw Panther still kneeling on the ground. "How long are you gonna stay like!?" He then saw the whole team kneeling on the ground to him.

"We're also begging you."

"It ain't just because we're teammates that we want him to play, without Panthers speed, it'll be kinda hard to lead with 10 points." Homer scratched his head

Apollo only growled at them.

Panther begged him one more time. "Please give me this one chance! If I fail to stop Eyeshield... I'll quit the team!"

This reminded Apollo of something. He began to stretch Panther cheeks. "What the hell are you saying!?" He let go and walked away. 'Whats wrong with me? Why am I suddenly thinking of when I was in the NFL?' He had a flashback of when he trained three times as hard as the other players and got compliments.

Homer grabbed Panther and said to Apollo. "This guy over here, while picking up balls, trained three times as much as any of us! Try him out in the match!"

Apollo had more flashback of when he was in the NFL. A guy named Morgan joined the team and he was going to get fired. He begged his both to give him one more chance but wasn't given a chance. (Me: I'm sorry but I'm too tired to do anymore then this.)

"Alright. Just this one match." Panther was shocked at what he heard. "Really? I can finally... The aliens uniform..." Apollo started to scream. "Stop yammering and get out on the field! Before I change my fucking mind! But if you fail to stop Eyeshield 21... Then..." Panther only kept smiling and nodded. "I understand."

Hiruma got a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen. When he saw Panther in his uniform, he cursed. "Fuck."

HUT

Panther ran straight toward Eyeshield 21. "As promised, let's fight on the field!" Kurita and Komusubi tried to stop him but Panther passed right through them. This shocked everyone.

"WWWHHHAAATTT!"

Hiruma shouted to Eyeshield "Stop him fucking shortie! You are the last line of defense!" Eyeshield went after Panther in an explosive power but Panther was faster than her.

TOUCHDOWN

Panther felt great and excited. For the first time in football, she felt despair.

Apollo looked at Panther. 'This is... Natural born sprinter. Muscles that only black people have!'

Panther looked at Eyeshield. "There's only a 1 point deference. Victory or defeat will be determined soon!"

HUT

Eyeshield had the ball and tried to do a sweep but was tackled by Panther.

Hiruma called for a huddle. "The problem is Aliens offensive." Monta was confused. "Shuttle pass and Panther running huh." Eyeshield was troubled. "Which one should we defend?"

HUT

A shuttle pass was done and got 20 advance yards.

HUT

This time, Panther ran with the ball and went to Eyeshield. They looked eye to eye and had a battle. When Eyeshield thought she had him, Panther did a spin move on her.

TOUCHDOWN

Monta looked at the scoreboard in despair. "This is dangerous! Not to mention winning by 10 points! Musashi-senpai...!" Eyeshield looked down in despair. 'I was too naïve. I even thought of having a match with him.'

HUT

Again Eyeshield tried to make a touchdown but was tackled. But she noticed something when she was tackled. 'Its his arms. Using his arms, Panther overtakes his opponents. That's why he can carry such small cuts... And keep running without slowing down.' Hiruma called in a huddle. "Got it!? We're going for a touchdown! With the Devil Bat Dive, we can get 8 points fast!" Eyeshield understood. 'Even if it's by one point, we have to get the lead! Everyone is waiting for Musashi!'

HUT

Eyeshield had an explosive run and passed Panther but Panther caught up to her and tackled her.

Apollo started to pity her. 'This is the limit of an Asian.'

Panther looked at Eyeshield interested. "... Interesting running style. That high-speed... Just what kind of training did she have to go through to learn that?" Homer looked at him. "Did you just say 'she'?" Panther panicked. "I meant 'he'!" 'Shit! I almost blew Sena cover! I need to be more careful.' Homer still looked at him suspicious but didn't ask. Panther walked up to Eyeshield. "Who's da best Japanese runner, shin or you?" This shocked her. "I wanna be the best runner, cuz I gotta get in the NFL." She remembered the magazine review about shin. 'The best... That's right! Sei-kun is... Living in that kind of world.' Panther began to stretch. "That's why I gotta beat Eyeshield and shin! With my 'Gravity Defying Running'!" Eyeshield spoke in English. "I'm actually working hard to beat shin. Even through I can't run like you Panther, I'm gonna win using my own running!" Panther gave her a grin."Heh! That's the spirit!"

HUT

Panther again tackled Eyeshield but both of them had smiled on their faces.

Homer noticed this. "Panther looks like he's really enjoying himself." Apollo kept his poker face on. "Doesn't he get that it's our last chance to score? Idiot." He then remembered of how he enjoyed playing in the games. And how angry he was at black people. He swore to himself to make the strongest team out of white people and began to be racist. 'When was it? That I started to hate football?'

Nasa aliens started to cheer for Panther. "Stop him!" "If we can't score : more points, we can't go back to the U.S.!" Jeremy looked at the scoreboard. "We must stop the Deimon's defense in one minute? And then use outer attack to gain points!" Panther waved at them."Don't worry! Coach Apollo! Like I promised, I'll stop Eyeshield! Just watch me!" Apollo was taken by surprise. Homer sat next to Apollo. "Coach? Do ya know the reason why Panther stayed? Even through all the norther black kids joined the basketball team?" Jeremy started to explain. "Before there was a time, when all of we're going to have a talk with you coach."

~FLASHBACK~

Homer banged on one of the changing lockers. "If ya ain't gonna say it yourself, I'll say it for you."

Jeremy agreed with him. "I can't understand it at all. He keeps using Panther as a ball boy..."

One of the players thought of something. "Maybe he'll listen if we all talk to him." They all then started to head out.

Panther stopped them. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a sec! Even If it's coach Apollo, he'll use a black if he's really good! Someday I wanna be acknowledged by my skill."

The players shook their heads. "You're just too soft panther."

~FLASHBACK END~

Homer continued talking. "Panther is aiming for the NFL. No matter how's he's treated, to Panther, coach you are a respected and great elder."

Apollo remembered how he bullied Panther and made him do a ton of work. He began to feel guilty but didn't show it. "What an unpleasant punk, he really is..."

Panther stopped Monta from catching a pass and Apollo decided to cheer for him.

"GOOO!"

"If we get a touchdown here, we'll win with a 14 point lead!"

"We can go back to the U.S.!"

Eyeshield ran after him. "I have to stop him! We have to win to bring Musashi back!" She tried to cut through him but Panther deflected her with his arms. She then remembered. 'Arms? How did he push me with his arms? He should have had both arms around the ball?' She jogged her memory and understood. 'I get it... At the instant he pushes, there's only one arm holding the ball!' She tried again to push him. When he had the ball in one hand, she slapped it away from him in the speed of light. Monta noticed it and catches it. He the passes it back to Eyeshield and she ran in the speed of light. Nasa tried to tackle her but the lineman blocked them. She ran all the way to the posts.

TOUCHDOWN

Hiruma threw his helmet off.

"YA-HA!"

Eyeshield couldn't tell if she made the touchdown. Everything was blurry to her. 'Did I do it?' She heard cheering. 'So I managed to get the ball away from Panther hands!'

Kurita was jumping in excitement. "This is great!"

Hiruma was grinning. "Alright you fucking Chibi! Use the Devil Bats attack to win the game!" When he turned to look at her, he almost had a heart attack. What he saw was Eyeshield on the ground, passed out. 'Running at 4.2 sec will cause her to faint!' He called for a stretcher.

~dream state~

Sena woke up and saw she was laying on the ground. She noticed she had a white dress that had shown her birthmark. "Hello?" No one answered.

Then a cherry blossom tree showed up. A young man with a kimono was leaning on the tree. She couldn't see his face clearly.

The young man said "The birthmark on your back has great power." This only confused her. He then came up to her and hugged her. "I am sorry for giving you this burden but you were the only pure spirit we could give it to."

Sena wanted to hug back but she couldn't. 'This man is gentle and feels warm.'

The young man stopped hugging her and looked at her. He then smiled gently. "You have already fallen in love with someone, haven't you." This made Sena blush. "Will he protect you at all cost?" He then looked series. Sena didn't understand this but she knew that he would. "Yes, Yoichi will protect and has already." "From what?" "From a man whose name is Agon. He's powerful and tries to rape a couple of times but Yoichi always protects me." The young man chuckled. "You have a lot of faith on him don't you." Sena nodded.

The world started to tremble. Sena was trying to figure out what was going on. "What's going on? Is this an earthquake?"

The young man shook his head. "No. It's time for you to wake up."

Sena tried to reach for him. "Wait! I need more answers! What's going to happen? What does my birthmark mean?!"

The young man shook his head. "Time will tell." He then started to walk off but turned. "If you want more answers, visit my shop. You will only find it when you need it." He then disappeared.

Sena saw she was starting to disappear. "Wait! Wait!"

~dream state end~

Eyeshield opened her eyes, she saw the sky. 'Oh yeah. I fainted during the game.' She blinked. 'THE GAME!' She then jumped with a start and looked at Mamori for answers. "The-the match ended!?" Mamori nodded.

MATCH END. 33-32

NASA ALIENS WIN

Eyeshield looked at the ground disappointed. "We... Lost."

Monta collapsed and started to hit the floor out of anger. "Damn! Damn it!"

Mamori felt sorry for him. "Oh yeah... This is the first time since Monta entered the team... That he experienced a lost..."

Eyeshield tried to cheer him up. "It's not over yet! Didn't we make an agreement with Musashi that as long as Demion became a strong team, he would come back?"

That cheered Monta up. "That's right!"

Yukimitsu tried to help. "We can start our proper training tomorrow! Because it's the holidays."

Monta gave him a thumbs up. "Of course MAX! We have to become stronger!"

Eyeshield remembered what Panther asked. Who was stronger? Her or shin? 'That's right... I need to get stronger!'

"Nice game."

Eyeshield turned and saw Panther trying to give her a handshake. "You got me in the last play."

Hiruma came up. "You are all rubbish! If you guys wanna live longer, train till death!" Eyeshield back-handed his head.

Panther laughed. "You sure know how to take care of him Sena." He slapped his hands over his mouth. Eyeshield really wanted to kill him.

Homer realized. "Hah! So I was right! You are a girl! And you're the girl who treated us to sushi!?" He started to feel embarrassed. The whole time actually did too. "Ops."

Panther bowed many times. "I'm really sorry. Forgive me." Eyeshield shook her head. "It's ok. What is done, is done." Panther still felt bad. He changed the subject. "Next time, we will fight equally... And I will defeat you!"

Everyone started to make a line and bow to each other. Hiruma ruined the moment. "Sorry to spoil your good mood! But you have to keep your promise!" Jeremy saw something on Hiruma hand. "Hey, isn't that our passports?" He then threw them in a machine he called 'Black-hole'. "No more going back to America!"

"NNOOOOOO!"

Homer looked at Jeremy panicked. "We can reapply for a new passport, right!?" Jeremy nodded. "But I think it will take about a week."

Panther still looked happy. "Let's use this time to tour Japan!"

Apollo not so much. He looked pissed and even chopped his cigerates. "What about you guys? Aren't you supposed to leave Japan?"

Hiruma pulled out passports. "Of course! You don't need your returns tickets right?"

Eyeshield really didn't like where this was going. "Hiruma..."

Hiruma kept grinning and turned to the team. "Pack your bags, we're going to America!"

"NO WAY!"

Sena already predict this was going to happen, so she already packed their bags. When they got to the airport, they waited for everyone. They kept silent until Sena broke it. "Yoichi. While I was knocked out" Hiruma flinched. "I had a weird vision if sort." Hiruma didn't look at her. "What was it?" Sena sighed. "It was of a men. He looked young but I felt that he wasn't. He said that..." Hiruma looked at her. "That?" Sena continued. "That you need to protect me for what going to happen in the future." Hiruma was confused. "It has something to do with my birthmark. He said it has great power. And..." Hiruma kneeled down to look at her. "I'm scared." He saw that she had tears on her eyes but refused to let them fall. Hiruma pulled her into a tight hug. "I won't let you get hurt." Sena shook her head. "That's not what I'm afraid of! I'm afraid that you'll get hurt! I don't want that! I don't!" She let some tears fall. Hiruma understood but didn't want her to get hurt. 'Not after what happened yesterday.' He started to kiss her tears. Sena started to blush.

*cough*

They turned and saw Monta trying to hide his blush. "You guys should stop before the others get here." Hiruma stopped hugging her and walked off for a bit. Monta turned to Sena who was blushing. "You guys packed condoms, right?" Sena started to shoot him with her pistols.
