The next day, the team was practicing for their qualifying game for the tournament. "Has anyone seen Yunsung" said Kilik. "I'm sure he'll arrive" said Hwang. Yunsung arrived late with a blonde haired kid with him. "What took you so long" asked Kilik. "Who's this" Maxi added.
"You know that girl with the blonde hair that I like" Yunsung started. "Yeah" said the whole team. "Well, this is her brother, Lucius" said Yunsung. "And" Hwang said. "And he's going to be on the team" said Edgemaster. "So you know what that means" he added. Smiles crept on the faces of the players as they saw Lucius. "Y-Yunsung, why are they smiling at me like that" Lucius asked nervously.
Before he even knew it, Lucius was getting the new guy treatment. "Whip him with the towel some more" said Raphael. Lucius was running from the players who were whipping towels at him. This made Edgemaster laugh. With all jokes aside, the team started doing their normal plays and even some new ones with Lucius who was wearing a pink headband. Mitsurugi started guffawing. "Take it one insult at a time" said Yunsung.
During the new plays, Lucius started hitting three-pointers every time he had the ball. "Unbelievable, he can shoot" said Hwang. After the practice was over, the team headed into the locker room as they saw the crowds filing in the arena.
"We all know what's in store, guys" Edgemaster said. "It's either make it or not" Edgemaster added. "Let's go out there and prove to those people that we're going to that tournament and dominate" said Edgemaster. The players began to cheer. The tem headed out to the court ready to win. Lucius had to sit on the bench while he saw Yunsung and the others shoot around.
"We can do this" said Kilik. Yunsung looked up in the stands and saw Cassandra, Xianghua, and Setsuka looking on. "It's show time" said Mitsurugi. During the first half, it was a tug-of-war for the lead and the end of the first half, the opposition made four three-pointers and the score was 46-38.
In the locker room, Edgemaster was irate. "WHAT WAS THAT" he yelled. "YOU LET THIS TEAM COME BACK AT THE END AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT" he bellowed. Half of the team was disheartened by their lack of effort. "SECOND HALF, YOU FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GONNA BEAT THESE GUYS" Edgemaster said. "We can put the new guy" Kilik said meekly. "Are you high, boy" Edgemaster said. "He and Raphael got some shots" said Yunsung. "Raphael, I'm sure of but the kid we'll see what he can do" said Edgemaster as he stroked his chin. "Now let's head out on the court" Edgemaster said.
The second half team now consisted of Rock, Zasalamel, Raphael, Lucius, and Hwang. "No pressure" said Rock to Lucius. As the second half began, it was all Lucius as Cassandra began to wildly yell and cheer. "GO LUCIUS" Yelled Cassandra. The end of the third quarter saw the soul high school team down by 3 points.
"All we need is a sure shot, that's where you come in Raphael" said Edgemaster. The fourth quarter began as a toggle for the lead like the beginning of the first quarter. With 4 seconds left on the clock.
Hwang in bounded the ball to Raphael but it slipped out of his hands until Lucius recovered the ball and at the last second Lucius released the ball as he watched it bounced off the glass, off the rim, and into the basket. "No way" said Zasalamel. "Sacre bleu" Raphael said in bewilderment.
After the game Kilik, Maxi, and Yunsung got dressed and headed out to meet up with the girls. "Where you guys off to" said Siegfried. "We're celebrating" said Yunsung.
