Hey, King Spike Rules here and her is the next chapter to Spike's Basketball. With Gallus joining the team, the fourth quarter becomes a war with his skills pushing them to try and pull an upset.

Chapter 16: Point Breaker.

The ref's whistle blew and both teams began to walk back on the court, Gallus stared at Masher, who was back at his video game and not even trying to act like he was concern with the games outcome.

"Hmmm, i guess they were told by the head coach he could only play one quarter." Gallus said, his eyes turning to Sandbar, who was still tired and resting. Releasing a sigh, he turned to his team, who were looking at him, "Alright, you guys ready for this?"

"Uhhhhh, I-I'm not so sure." Snails said nervous, looking at the other team and Gallus gulping, "I am just a beginner more than anything."

"Hey, don't worry." Spike said smiling and patting him on the back, "I'll help carry this."

"Yeah, but they'll know we'll try relying on you more." Gallus said looking back at the team and then saw the ref hand them the ball, "But we can use that to get them to lower their guard elsewhere." The others nod and they all got ready with the other team charging in, passing about the ball to the left avoiding Spike watching the right side. 'Just as planned.' Gallus thought with a smirk as the one with the ball faced both Mac and Soraon at the same time, cuttign them off with them holding the ball, trying for a shot with these two on him was making him nervous and that was what Gallus wanted and then the hand tapped the ball out of the player's hand. Gallus grabbed it and shot past the other team, getting the to other side of the court until he was stopped by another player.

"Don't think so." The blocked said, keeping Gallus from moving forward. He just smirked and looked at and then began to go for a shot. Instinctly, he jumped to stop it and then, the ball vanished from his hands. Confussion was spread across his face when the ball suddenly went through the net and the he turned to see Spike having made a three shot, leaving only one word to leave his lips, "W-what."

"Sorry, I wasn't trying for a shot anyway." Gallus smirked and the guy growled, seeing them lose a bit by the lead.

"Power through." Another member said tossing him the ball and he nodded, yet he looked at Gallus move to defense. They charged forward again, careful to leave a teammate in the back to keep defense while the holder comes face to face with Spike, gritting his teeth staring at him and checking for any passing lanes only for a hand to suddenly launch towards him. He flinched and pulled back, which pulled his eyes off Spike who took the ball in an instant and charged forward towards the court.

"Shit." he yelled seeing Spike zoom past the one defender and it a lay-up, bringing them up to 53 to 66. Spike headed back at the team looked at the five of them.

"We need to keep our heads and not lose to them." The one acting as the point guard, "Just keep an eye on him." They all nodded staring at Gallus, who was talking to the others and looked back at them. They took the ball and head on towards the other side only for one him to stop when Mac got in the way, making him freeze and pull back, looking for a passing lane and saw one, tossing it.

"Wait, don't..." his teammate yelled out when Gallus grabbed the ball in mid pass and charged forward to get in passion when he came face to face with a blocker. Gallus got in passion to make a move like a shot, just as he did the last time he did it.

"Ha, not this time." He said stepping to the side only for Gallus to jump and land another shot, breaking it to only a 10-point lead. The guy looks at him in shock when the ref blew his whistle for a time out from Sharks, the coach gritting his teeth watching the other team run off the court and his eyes locked with Gallus.

"Dang it, less than three minutes and they are pulling back from the edge." the coach said looking at his team, drinking and panting as they were first years mostly and third strings, yet Masher continued to play his game. "Dang it, i can't use him for another quarter and who knew he would be this good." The coach looked at Gallus talking to the team and drinking water, gritting his teeth when he saw how calm they were, knowing that they were struggling know because of him. "Alright, try to triple team him when you can, and make sure at least one of you stay on to protect the net."

"Well, the plan seem to be working well." Twilight said looking at them and he focus on Gallus, "Yet are you sure you can keep them from getting ahead for the rest of the quarter?"

"Yeah, they aren't use to players like Spike and the others." Gallus said looking at the other team, noting the coach staring at him, "And he would start to focus on covering me, which would open drive from the others. But we can't miss any of the next shots if we want to win." The others nodded and the ref whistle told them they were to continue. As the game restarted, Gallus noted that three were focused on attack with the other two remaining in the back to protect their lead, exactly what he thought would happen.

"Hmmmm, he's really good." Luna said watching the game with their team pushing forward and get another lay-up, making it 58 to 66.

"Yes, but we need can't look past a simple fact." Twilight said taking notes throughout the match, looking at everything they do, "These ones are just beginners and except for that one in the third quarter, none of them are ready or might ever be starters." Luna slowly nodded, watching the Sharks get their first points in the fourth quarter, making it exactly ten poin difference yet again.

"That is a good point." Luna said seeing Gallus with the ball, watching him drive on and coming up with a three man.

"Don't think we'd let you through." The one in front of him with two more on either side as Gallus looked at them smirking.

"You guys need to figure out how to really cover someone." He said tossing the ball behind him and was caught by Soaron, standing at the half court spot and shot it, sending it over and hitting the net, making the score 61 to 68. The Shark's where openly getting annoyed, their eyes locked on him and he simply looked back at them with a smirk.

"He seems to have the skill to annoy others, doesn't he?" Luna asked watching him five Spike and the others while looking at the game.

"Who does?" a voice asked causing both Twilight and Luna to turn around to see Sandbar sitting up, looking at them confused.

"Sandbar, you okay?" Twilight asked as Snails helped him to his feet and sat him on the bench.

"Y-yeah, just really tired and sore." Sandbar said rubbing his shoulder before getting shocked expression on his face and shot up, "What about the game?" Luna's hand put her hand on his shoulder, and he calmed down to her touch, slowly sitting down.

"Don't worry about it." Twilight said smiling at him, "We have help." He looked confused until he looked to the court, seeing Gallus passing the ball to Mac, who hit a slam dunk. Sandbar was shocked seeing him and looked to the score, seeing it had become 65 to 73 with four minutes remaining on the clock. Snips panted heavily from the amount he had been working while Gallus looked at him worried.

"He's not ready for two quarters." Gallus said looking at the other team as they began their charge only for Spike to rush out in front of the lead with the ball, and before his eyes pressure erupted from out of nowhere and then the image of a dragon appeared before his eyes. The ball holder flinched yet again and Spike grabbed the ball, charging on towards the paint where one was waiting only for him to step back suddenly, allowing Spike to hit a lay-up and making it 67 to 73 with the clock hitting three minutes.

"J-just six points left." Soraon said with a smile on his face, yet his heavy breathing told Gallus that he was on his last legs when it came to playing. Mac was on the same boat, trying to keep himself up yet he was breathing heavily. Gallus then looked to Snips, who was even worse than the other two and then he saw Spike was panting yet seem to be ready from even more game. Seeing all this made Gallus see that they had three minutes to win, or they'll lose.

"Alright, we need to make sure we get those six points." Gallus said getting ready, seeing as he was the freshes of them he put the extra effort in getting them the ball with him slipping past a player, stealing the ball and moving on getting in possion and shot, yet one of the Shark's fingers tapped it, making it go off course and Gallus was left in shock as it bounced off the rim, only for Mac to grab it and hit a dunk.

"Don't just count us out yet." Mac said smiling looking at him, yet he was clearly struggling to move past that. Gallus noted all this in his head when he saw the Sharks make a break, trying to keep them from continuing with the comeback. The baller came face to face Spike, who was smiling and kept himself low with him looking for passing lanes, only for Spike to try a steal. He saw it and stepped back, allowing him to get a view to pass to some on open and he tossed it. His partner caught it and smirked, turning ready to charge only for his eyes to widen when he knocked Snips down.

"Faul, two shots." the ref called as Spike helped Snips out, who nodded and looked at the other team. He could see the stress on their face and he turned to Spike who was smiling while Gallus walked over to them,

"Alright, we have less than one minute to get five points." Gallus said with a sigh and looked at the Shark's, all giving Snips the sink eye, "So, that's why we have a plan." He talked to them and they nodded, Spike heading on to tell the others the plan while Snip took deep breath holding the ball, looking up at the net and sweat ran down his face with how all the eyes were on him. The ref's whistle told him to shoot, and he did just that. The ball left his hands and every one watched it fly through the air, and went through the net. The shock on everyones face looking at the ball with Twilight dropping her pin, not sure how to take in what Snips had just did.

"T-Twilight, did you teach him that?" Luna asked not turning away from the scene and Twilight shook her head. The ref handed him the ball and Snips looked at the timer, they had forty minutes left and it was 70 to 73. He took deep breath and fired the ball once again, and it bounced off.

TBC.
