Friendly Match: The Snow Kids vs The Shadows

Narrator's pov

"Hello football fans." Cried Callie Mystic over the microphone. "Today's match is the snow kids verses the shadows, it's going to be an exciting match today folks." The whole stadium was screaming with excitement, millions of banners flew around the stadium with the favourite footballer or with the catch phrase 'Go Snow Go!' written in huge letters. Callie Mystic voice shouted over the amplifiers again "I can see the footballs walking onto the field now."

As soon as we stepped on to the field the roar of thunder sounded through the crowd almost making me deaf. I still wasn't use to it after all these years walking on to the field. Everyone was getting into positions on the field. As soon as I got into my position I quickly took a quick look at Tia to see she was in position too.

"Let the match begin." Callie voice screamed over the field.

The buzzer went off and the ball was released into the air. D'jok and Sinedd both jumped into the air using their flux, both of their feet collided with the ball, sending out a purple wave of flux. D'jok had gained control of the ball and passed it towards Micro-Ice, I followed in pursuit. I could see Micro-Ice dodging two shadows players until a third one appeared behind him.

"Pass the ball Micro-Ice." I shouted through the headphones, catching what I meant Micro-Ice quickly passed the ball to me just in time so the shadows player almost collided with him, I saw Tia sprinting towards the penalty box, getting into position. I passed the ball high into the air, in the next second a flash of blue light a illuminated around Tia and she jumped high into the air, doing her signature back flip, shooting the ball into the net.

"Goal for the Snow kids." Callie yelled excitedly.

All of the Snow kids all ran to Tia, giving her high fives and such, before Aarch shouted in our ears pieces to stay focused and get back into positions, giving Tia a quick smile I ran back to my position. The buzzer went off again and D'jok and Sinedd both jumped up into the air again but instead of a collision of fluxes, D'jok fell out of the air too quickly, letting Sinedd have the ball. I didn't understand what had happen until the referee started flashing. Everyone began running up to D'jok.

"What happen?" Yelled Micro-Ice, since he was the first to reach D'jok, he was holding his face in his hands, when he looked up, we couldn't help but wince and back up a bit. His whole face was cover in blood.

"Oh D'jok!" Mei cried out, snapping out of her daze and leapt forward to try and help him. I watched as Sinedd was being taking away by one the floating penalty box holders, his nasty smirk still glowing on his face. Our eyes met and his smirked suddenly disappeared, his eyes turned into deadly glare. I didn't take my eyes away from him, until I felt Tia pulling on my arm.

"Rocket. Look." I turned to what she was pointing at; it was the holo T.V, showing a close up between Sinedd and D'jok jump. They were both racing for the ball, until Sinedd suddenly kicked out and hit D'jok right in the face. We watched helplessly as Mark replaced D'jok on the pitch, Tia was trying to comfort Mei as we watched D'jok being taking away. Aarch shouted into our ear pieces again to get back in position. We started getting back into positions, until Aarch voice sounded through the micro-phones again.

"On second thought, Rocket take Marks place, he hasn't had much practice with that area yet." Aarch ordered, I wanted to say I hadn't had much practice too but thinking about it Mark had no practice in that area what so ever, so I jogged over to the centre of the field instead to face off against another shadows player. As soon as the buzzer went I jumped into the air, just grabbing the ball away from the shadows player and aimed it towards Mark. Mark run up the field passing to Tia, who quickly dodged another Shadows player and passed it towards Micro-Ice. Suddenly, Micro-Ice was flying through the air and landed on his back. A shadows player had roughly tackled him but the referee had not made any move to give a red card.

"Hey that's a foul, what's going on." Callie cried.

I had no time to dwindle on this since the shadows player was running towards the goal. I had a feeling this was going to be a long match.

It had been a rough first half. It seemed the shadows were determined to break every bone in our body; it had gotten worse when Sinedd had gotten back onto the field. You could feel the tension run through the air as Rocket and Sinedd faced off against each other. It also seemed that Mei had a grudge (or even bigger) against Sinedd and wasn't letting any shadow get through her defensive. Sinedd almost scored but the buzzer for the end of the first half of the match went off. At the moment we were having a quick rest and Aarch was giving us tips on what to do when Artegor Nexus walked into the room, everyone turned to stare at him.

"Artegor, what are you doing here?" Aarch asked, surprised by his friends appearance.

"Hello Aarch. I'm sorry to interrupt but I need to talk to all of you." He suddenly paused, trying to think what to say. "Obviously we've all notice that Sinedd is acting more aggressive than usual, I had a talk with him but I doubt he was listening to a single word and I feel he's going to become even more aggressive in the second half. What I'm trying to say is be careful and watch you backs." as soon as he had finished he walked out of the room. We all stared at each other more worried than ever, if Artegor was worried, then it was defiantly something to worry about. Aarch snapped out of his daz first and began giving all of us a team talk. I had shut off completely, why do I have the feeling some things going to happen in the second half, I looked up to Rocket for support but I could see the same thing was running through his mind. When Aarch finished the bell went off announcing everyone to return to the field.

"The snow kids are returning to the field." Callie announced.

I walk to my position waiting for the shadows to appear.

"Hey are you ok." I turned to see Rocket standing next to me.

"Not really" I answered, shuffling on my feet. I suddenly felt calmer when Rocket grabbed my hand in his.

"Hey, we've got this; we just need to work together." His words echoed through my mind, he was right; we can win this as long as we work together.

"Rocket, get back to your position." Aarch shouted through the ear piece. "The Shadows are here." Looking up I saw he was right; the shadows had walked onto the field. I looked back when I felt Rockets hand leave mine, he gave me a quick wink and disappeared back to the centre of the field. I suddenly felt someone's eyes digging into my back but when I looked I only saw Sinedd looking at Rocket his face full of fury as he watched Rocket step in front of him. I wasn't sure but I thought I saw Sinedd mouth something at Rocket, making Rocket face twist in anger. Artegor was right; the second half was going to be much worse.
