C H A P T E R 13: HEAT
It was early morning and was hours away before the hottest part of the day would arrive and Inazuma Japan found themselves clumped around the team's bench and taking all the water and shade they could get before the game started.
"Listen up!" Coach Travis shouted at the hot teens. "I'll now be announcing the team's line up!"
"Lacahnce, goalie. Harley, Vanian, Swift and Wallside in defence. Sharp, Evans, Stawberg and Greenway in midfield and Foster and Blaze upfront."
The eleven players nodded and went to get into position as the rest of the team sat back under the shaded bench. Darius sat at the edge next to the managers and wearing his Inazuma Japan tracksuit with the jacket open and revealing his white jersey underneath.
The team was wearing the same jersey but the white was blue and the blue was white instead. This made it more bearable and they didn't class with The Barracuda's sky blue top since they were home for this game.
Mark stretched out in the middle of the field when he was confronted by two of the New Zealand team members. "I thought we'd have a challenge with you in goal... but that weakling won't stay long." The two laughed as they looked over at Darren.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" The second asked as he looked at the furious captain in front of them. "Have I insulted your boyfriend." He sneered.
"Don't talk about Darren that way! He's as good as any player on Inazuma Japan!" Mark barked back causing Jude and Axel to look over at their captain.
"So he's crap then? Just like you..." The first one said poking Mark's chest before shoving the boy back. "You won't last long Mark Evans." He added.
Mark grumbled before he returned to the rest of his team with a smile on his face. "Let's do our best!" He shouted and earned himself a roaring response from the team.
It was Inazuma Japan's kick and Xavier passed it to Axel as they headed towards the Barracuda's territory and remembering what their coach had said. "You must score early, that way it'll make the second half more bearable. But mind out, they have a strong attack but a weak defence."
"Mark!" Axel shouted as he passed to the Japanese captain. He ran up through the centre of the pitch weaving through the opposition's midfield alongside Jude as the two passed to each other. Mark found a dead end with a huge defender in front of him but Jude continued on with the ball in front of him.
Jordan was the next to receive the ball as headed for the penalty box to meet a defender. Trying to buy some time he faked going side to side to pass the defender before kicking it to Jude who crossed the ball into the penalty box. "Axel it's yours!" He shouted.
Axel burst into flames as he jumped high into the sky and back flipped so that he was facing the sky with his foot poised to send the ball flying. No one could see what was happening since both Axel and the ball was consumed with fire. "Fireball Drop!" Axel shouted as a huge flaming fireball sped at a fast speed towards the Barracuda's goalie.
The ball dropped from the net and onto the grass. "1-0!" The commentator shouted. "Axel has set this game on fire as he scores Inazuma Japan's first goal and sent it rocketing into the net!"
"Nice shot Axel!" Darren shouted. Mark rushed over towards the blonde haired teen and grabbed him in a hug before they were both rugby tackled by the rest of the team.
"Wait... we'll get them in the second half." Lewis, the captain of the Barracuda stated as he stopped his team mate from hurling himself at the flame striker. The teen just nodded and walked back to his position.
Lewis cast his eyes over to the Inazuma Japan's bench. Their personal targets were sitting on that bench and they wouldn't be able to take them down... at least they had the pleasure of breaking down Mark Evans. A sly smile crept up the captain's face.
The Barracuda were slow in their attack and had easily lost the ball but they didn't care as the formed a relaxed defence. Jude watched the team in concentration as he jogged up the pitch. They must be conserving their energy. He thought.
The next twenty minutes of the game found Inazuma Japan 3-0 up and with the heat baking them even more as they slowly grew tired towards the end of the first half. "Now!" Lewis shouted at his team once he received the ball.
"Hissatsu tactics Tsunami!" The captain shouted as the whole team of the Barracuda charged up the pitch with their goalkeeper in the back row alongside the defence.
The team barged their way through the midfield and waves crashed on the Inazuma Japan team and causing them to fall to the ground and out of the way of the opposing team. "Sam!" Lewis shouted as he kicked the ball high into the air.
The one known as Sam was already waiting for the ball high in the air when he kicked the ball so that it was now above him. "Flying Fish!" He shouted as he kicked the flailing now-turned-fish-ball.
"God Spikes!" Darren shouted as his eyes snapped open and he jumped towards the slimy ball. It was no match for him as he skewered the fish between the spikes in his knuckles and stopped the attack completely.
"Mark!" He shouted as he kicked the ball to Mark. The Barracuda captain appeared in front of the Japanese captain but Mark sidestepped him and kicked the ball to Xavier. "Shoot!" He ordered. Xavier nodded and followed the ball into the air.
"Meteor Blade!" He shouted as both he and the ball headed towards the goal before the blade attacked the opposing team's defence and goal.
"Wave Shield!" One of the Barracuda's defenders shouted as he raised his arms to reveal a huge wall of water. The defender kicked the ball back to Lewis as the team headed back up for another attack but the whistle signalled the end of the first half.
The sweaty Japanese team retired to their bench and greedily attacked their bottles of water. "I'm changing the line-up for the second half." Coach Travis said. "Mark I want you to pull back in defence, Jack will swap with Tori. Xavier will swap with Austin and we'll see how it goes from there."
The second half was more aggressive than the first. The Japanese team found themselves stuck on full out defence as they stopped attack after attack made by the opposing team. Sam grew angry as he charged down the line, frustrated that he hadn't scored yet.
He noticed the perfect opportunity when he saw both Jordan and Harley head for him in two sliding tackles from two different angles. Jumping at the last moment there was a horrible crash as the two collided below him. The striker headed straight for the goal.
He slammed the heel of his foot into the ball before causing the ball to spin upwards slightly. "Surfing Shot!" The striker shouted as he kicked the ball at the goal. Darren couldn't get a fix on where the ball was.
"Mugen the hand!" He shouted as multiple hands crashed upon the now found ball but the hands splintered and Darren found himself falling backwards. It was Mark who came to the rescue. "Megaton head!" He shouted as a hand was released and it punched the ball away from the goal.
"You alright Darren?" Mark asked as he offered his hand out to the fallen goalie.
Harley managed to stand back up and kept still as he placed weight on his right foot that'd collided with Jordan and almost hissed in pain if he hadn't reminded himself he needed to stay on for this match.
"Harley! I'm so sorry!" Jordan panicked as he apologised to the pink haired teen.
"Don't sweet it dude!" Harley laughed as he patted the green haired boy on the head. "I did the same thing." Jordan nodded and rushed off back to his position. The game resumed as Lewis threw the ball back in play.
"Got it!" Austin shouted as he chested the ball and raced up towards the goal.
"X scissors!" Two defenders shouted as Austin came crashing down from the tackle that took his legs from beneath him and the ball as well.
"Austin!" Axel shouted as he headed straight for the ball. He tackled the defender and managed to keep the ball under control as he raced up towards the goal. Faking a shot he kicked it behind him and into the path of Austin's Tigre Drive.
The shot slammed into the back of the net but at a price as Austin fell to the ground exhausted. But the whistle blew signalling the end of the match and the tired teens headed back to the bench with pride at their 4-0 victory.
