Episode 3

Gedo High School Versus Justice High School

It was early in the morning. Classes at Justice High School had just begun. Principle Raizo sat in his office, with his legs on the table and leaning back on his chair. He stretched his arms and began to doze off. A week had passed since the last Rollerball game. And as his mind was getting sleepy, he almost forgot about the most important event happening today. Fortunately, Hyo managed to wake the Principle he walked into his office, scaring him half to death.

"Good morning, Principle." Said Hyo, holding a newspaper in his hand, "How are you today?"

"Everything's fine, Hyo. What brings you here?" said Raizo.

"Aren't WE forgetting something very important today?" said Hyo grinning.

"What are you talking about." Said Raizo, lowering his glasses in puzzlement. Hyo threw the newspaper on Raizo's desk. Raizo had a look at the front cover of the newspaper:

'Gedo takes on Justice 8:00 p.m. tonight'

"Of course! My school's going against Gedo High School! I almost forgot about that! I have to get prepared for this! Do we have all our players, Hyo?" asked Raizo.

"Indeed we do, Principle. Including two of our most best players." Said Hyo.

"Ah, yes! Hideo Shinazu, captain of the Justice High School Rollerball team! And Kyoko Minazuki, our best motorcylist! Excellent!" said Raizo jumping in joy, "And what about Gedo?"

"They shouldn't be a problem. Our team is far more talented than their lot of no good kids. I think this will be an easy victory." Said Hyo.

"GOOD!" said Raizo laughing.

"If we beat Gedo, we'll be facing Tamagawa, and if we defeat them too, we'll be facing our last school before that Rollerball trophy award is ours!" said Hyo, shutting his right hand tightly and revealing his fist.

"Who might that be?" said Raizo.

"Taiyo High School!" said Hyo. Raizo stopped laughing at that precise moment.

"D-did you say……?" said Raizo.

"Yes. Taiyo High School. Doesn't your son go to that school?" said Hyo.

"Why, yes. In fact, he's the captain of the Taiyo High School Rollerball team." Said Raizo.

"Oh…….well…….I see…….." said Hyo thinking to himself.

"What happens if we face Taiyo High School? What then? I don't want to see my son lose his most glorious day. Yet I don't want to let my school down either." Said Raizo.

"Well, Principle, let's not count chickens yet. We still got to face Gedo and Tamagawa. We may in fact lose. But if you ask me, I very much doubt it. If we indeed face Taiyo, and if we win? Huh, well, it would seem that your son would be most disappointed by his loss, which would be a real shame to him and the whole of Taiyo High School. But on the other hand, it would look disgraceful to see a Principle letting his own school down. If I were you, I'd support my school. After all, you have been Principle here for some time now." Said Hyo smiling down at Raizo, "I believe we have an understanding here, Principle. See you at the game." Hyo smiled again and walked out of the office. Raizo took off his glasses and looked down at his desk, staring at the newspaper trying to think things out.

That evening……..

The Gedo High School Rollerball team finally arrived at the stadium. Daigo Kazama, coach of the Gedo High School Rollerball team, led the way, while his shy and timid sister Akira, captain of the Gedo High School Rollerball team, followed beside him, holding his arm.

"WOW! That is huge!" said Edge staring at the size of the stadium.

"You could say that again!" said Gan scratching his head.

"Well, Akira. This is one great day for us. If we play well, we'll be able to come back home with honor with that Rollerball trophy award." Said Daigo to Akira. Akira turned to Edge, who was walking next to her.

"Edge, are you sure that they'll listen to me?" said Akira.

"Don't worry, Akira. I'll make sure they will. I'll make sure they do every God damn thing you say." Said Edge.

"Thank you, Edge." Said Akira smiling at him.

"Hey, don't mention it. I like you, Akira. Honestly, you're one of the cutest girls I've met. If you got any problems, let me know. I'll sort it out for you. I'll do anything for you that'll make you happy." Said Edge. Akira smiled again and pinched Edge's cheek.

"Thank you again, Edge. Let's hope we play well." Said Akira.

"LET'S GO!!!!!!!" said Daigo as they entered the stadium.

Minutes later………

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another exciting game of Rollerball! Today we have Gedo High School duke it out with Justice High School. This should be most interesting!" said the game host.

"Everyone ready?" said Akira softly.

"YEAH!" shouted Edge as the other team members followed him.

"Good……then…..well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Akira as she put on her Rollerball helmet. And she and her team skated out into the arena.

"Here they come! Gedo High School!" said the game host as Gedo fans cheered loudly. While this happened, the Justice High School Rollerball team made their entrance.

"And here comes Justice High School!" said the game host as Justice fans prepared to give their players a loud cheerful welcome. Hideo came out first as his team followed behind him. Only he and Kyoko were the only grown ups playing for their team. Since they both proved to be good Rollerball players, they were able to be accepted into the team, despite their ages. Both team went to the center of the ring, getting ready. Hideo went up to Kyoko to make sure everything was okay with her. He always did this in every Rollerball game. He wanted to see if Kyoko was going to survive. He could always tell by seeing her looks. He didn't want her ever to get injured in the game. Which has never happened so far.

"Is everything okay, Kyoko?" asked Hideo. Kyoko looked up at Hideo and smiled.

"Yes, everything okay, Hideo. Don't worry. I'll be fine. Trust me." Said Kyoko.

"Fine." Said Hideo sighing as he patted Kyoko on the back, "Good luck."

"Good luck, Hideo." Said Kyoko.

All of the players skated out into the ring going round it as a ball was fired. A few minutes later the players gathered for their school anthems.

"And now, our school anthems." Said Raizo. As Justice High School's anthem played, Raizo began to think about his son Batsu. How could he let his own son down? Or in the other case, let his school down, what would it be? Hyo nudged him as he drifted off.

"Principle, announce the beginning of the games." Said Hyo.

"Let the games begin!" he said. Hyo nodded at the person shooting the balls out into the ring.

"And the first ball is fired!" said the game host.

Minutes later……..

"Sweet mercy." Said Daigo as he watched his team members getting brutally slaughtered one by one by the Justice players. Daigo began to turn pale, he never realized that Justice was this good. To Justice it was like a shooting gallery. However, nobody had scored yet. Hyo gave a little laugh as he watched his school kick the shit out of Gedo.

"It looks like they're losing. To us they are nothing but annoying puny insects." Said Hyo to Raizo, who wasn't evening paying any attention to the game.

Justice's first point was scored by Hideo as he cunningly skated round the Gedo blocking the goal by having Kyoko distract them by seeming as if she was going to ram them. Justice cheered like crazy, just for their first point.

"Justice scores, by Hideo Shinazu." Said the game host. The score was 1-0.

"Man. These guys are rock hard!" said Gan, "How the hell are we supposed to win with only five of us and ten of them?!" said Gan.

"I…..I don't know." Said Akira who was panicking, "I don't know what to do." She began to cry.

"Akira! Snap out of it!" said Edge grabbing onto Akira, "Get a grip on yourself. All you need is some self-confidence. With that I'm that there's a possibility that we'll win. I'm sure of it."

"You think so?" said Akira.

"Positive." Said Edge.

"I believe in Edge." Said Gan.

"Me too." Said Sho, a surviving Gedo player.

"And me three." Said Ban. Another Gedo player still remaining.

Akira looked at her players, all with promising and positive faces. She turned to Daigo's worried and pale face. She looked at him in the sense to show him that she was fine, and he need not to worry about her or her team. Akira sighed deeply.

"What are we waiting for. Are we gonna win or not? Let's get these fuckers!" said Akira.

Minutes later……

There was not much time left. Akira skated as fast as she could for the ball that was rolling just a few inches away from her. Little did she know of the four Justice players planning something for her.

"C'mon, just a little closer." Said Akira as she drew near the ball, "Almost there." And out nowhere a Justice player skated by her and punched her in the face, "AAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" the spikes on the Justice player's glove scratched Akira's head on the side just missing her ears above. Nevertheless, blood began to ooze out of the wound and Akira lunged to the side of the ring, shutting her eyes and blind to see anything.

"AKIRA!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Daigo. Edge at once caught sight of Akira. Akira tried to get into the ring again by going off the side. But as the same Justice players skated by her all four of them struck her on the back. Akira collapsed to the ground. More blood could be seen bleeding out from her, "NOOOOO!!!!!!!!" shouted Daigo. All of the Gedo fans began to go crazy and kept banging on the glass. And at the same time, Justice scored another point Hideo picked up the ball and threw it in the hole.

"Justice scores, by Hideo Shinazu!" said the game host. The score became 2-0.

"AKIRA!!!!!! I'M COMING!!!!!" shouted Edge as he dashed towards the four players who purposely injured Akira. It was one against four. And to everyone's surprise, Edge was the victor as he took out his knives and skillfully in one move cut all their throats. Gedo shouted out Edge's name in joy as the Justice fans became to the ones who went beserk. The penalty horn was blown.

"Penalty, by Edge Yamada!" said the game host. Before Edge went into the penalty box, he carried the half conscious Akira into the center of the ring.

"Akira." Said Edge.

"Unnhhhhh………" Akira moaned.

"Oh my God, you're bleeding bad. We have to get you to the paramedics." Said Edge.

"E……Edge……" said Akira softly. A tear ran down Edge's face.

"Don't worry, Akira. I got them all. Just rest. I'll be waiting for you." Said Edge as he removed her helmet kissed Akira on the cheek. Daigo ran to Edge as he carried Akira to him, "Get her to the hospital, Daigo, quickly, or she may not live."

"AKIRA WILL LIVE!!!!!!!!!" shouted Daigo angrily.

"WHOA!!!!!!!!!! OKAY! OKAY! CALM DOWN! SHE WILL! SHE WILL LIVE! GOSH!" said Edge as he skated into the penalty box. As Daigo saw him leave he carried Akira into the hospital lift and entered. And when the doors closed, in his own privacy, Daigo began to cry.

"Akira……Akira…..please don't die……." He said as he removed a piece of hair that went in Akira's face. He hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek before Akira went completely unconscious.

It was no use. There were only a couple of minutes left and there were only three Gedo players left on the ring, compared to the six Justice players that still stood. Kyoko held the ball and passed it to Hideo when Hideo grabbed onto the tail of her motorbike. Hideo pushed off from the bike and without much Gedo defense he scored a third point.

"Justice scores, by Hideo Shinazu!" said the game host when the score went to 3-0.

The Justice players present on the ring began to go round the ring, waving at their cheering fans. Hideo jumped on Kyoko's motorbike and actually stood on it. Kyoko began to chuckle as she saw Hideo showing off his incredible stunt.

"And the winners are the Justice High School Rollerball team!" said the game host. The game horn was blown and the game ended.

Edge, Gan, Sho and Ban left the ring. They were more concerned about Akira rather than their loss.

"Bad luck, guys." Said Edge, "But I think you guys still played excellent out there."

"Thanks." Said Sho.

"No problem." Said Ban.

"Ah, don't mention it!" said Gan smiling.

"Quick. We have to see Akira. Get changed quickly! C'mon!" said Edge as he skated off into the changing rooms.
