"Alright, this is it." Paul said. "If we win this next event, it's over and the Phoenixes win Family Feud." Paul said. "What's our possible last event going to be, boys?"
"What else?" Marshal said. "Our signature game."
"Powerball!" Paul, Law, and Marshall said in unison.
"What's Powerball?" Danny asked.
"Powerball is the most grueling ball sport there is." Forest answered.
"It goes like this, Dan." Paul said. "We set two goals in my apartment, and we have one ball. The object is to be the first to put the ball into your goal 2 times. The grueling part is that there are no rules except you can't punch, kick, or throw dangerous objects. Marshall literally almost got killed because my dad threw a knife."
"Yeah, I remember that." Marshall said. "I think that was the only time we all agreed things got out of hand."
"Anything else is legal." Forest continued the description. "Pushing, shoving, throwing, tripping, tackling."
"Enough, can we just get on with the game?" Marshall asked.
"Alrighty. Danny, our goal will be the closet in my room." Paul said.
"And ours will be the microwave." Forest said.
"Okay." Paul grabbed a little rubber ball from an end table and threw it into the air. The four all dove for it once it was thrown. Within the dog pile of bodies, a hand managed to grab the ball.
"I've got it, dad!" Forest yelled. "Get off!"
"Not for long, you don't!" Paul said. He reached over and tickled Forest on the chest, which resulted in him loosening his grasp on the ball. The ball moved over a little ways just outside the dogpile. Danny, who was on top of the pile, got off and managed to get a hand on the ball and started to run down the hallway to Paul's room, but Marshall's hand clutched her ankle and she fell.
The impact of the fall was enough to jar the ball loose from Danny's hand, and Forest got up to take advantage. However, Paul planned ahead and sprinted for the kitchen. Marshal tried to block his way, but Paul rammed into Marshall with a stiff shoulder, causing Marshall to fall straight over. By this time, Forest had the ball and was already going for the kitchen. Danny picked herself up, but she was too far behind to stop Forest. Just when Forest got into the kitchen, Paul opened the door to the freezer compartment of his refrigerator. Forest was going too fast to stop, and his hand bounced hard off of the freezer door, causing him to fall over and drop the ball.
With both Marshall and Forest down, this was Paul's chance. He snatched the ball and successfully made it to his bedroom closet. Afterwards, the group met up in the hallway. Forest came in holding his head in pain.
"You okay there, Forest?" Paul asked. "I didn't get ya too good, did I?"
"Nah, I'm fine. Let's go." Forest answered, and Paul tossed the ball back into the living room. Again, the four scattered for it, but it was Marshall who came up with it this time. After diving for the ball, Marshall picked himself back up and ran for the kitchen. Forest followed him, but so did Paul and Danny. This time, Forest tipped over a chair as he was being pursued by the Phoenixes. Paul stumbled over the chair and almost hit the hard tile floor of the kitchen face-first. Paul's body and the chair blocked off Danny, so Marshall was successful in getting the ball to their goal in the microwave.
As the Laws gave each other a high five, Paul limped over to them, followed by Danny.
"Jesus, Forest." Paul said as he rubbed his injured shin.
"That was payback for the freezer door." Forest answered.
"Alright, this one wins it." Marshall said, returning the ball to the grip of his hands. He drew back his hand, threw the ball over the kitchen counter and back into the living room. Once more, the foursome ran after it. Another dogpile ensued, with Danny on the very bottom this time. She had the ball within her grasp and struggled with all her might, but the three men on top of her were too strong and she gave the ball to Paul
Using all of his strength, Paul broke free of the dogpile and ran for his room, but Marshall dashed after him and gave Paul a violent shove from behind. Paul's entire body hit the wall with tremendous force. The result was the ball being jarred from the former Tekken finalist's hands. Marshall went to pick it up, but Danny came from behind, put her arms around Marshall, and brought him down to the ground sideways. Paul was able to obtain the ball again due to this distraction, but it was short-lived. Marshall's hand grabbed Paul's ankle, preventing him from going any farther.
"I'll take that." Forest said as he ran to the downed Paul and took the ball from him; then ran for the kitchen again. Danny got up and went after him. Forest nearly had the ball into the microwave, but Danny knocked him down by running into him with all of her weight, then took the ball and dashed as fast as she could to Paul's room. Marshall tried to tackle her, but she evaded and there was nothing to stop her from putting the ball in Paul's closet, and the Phoenixes won the final event.
"Yeah, we win! We win!" Danny trumpeted.
"Oh, shut up." Marshall replied.
"Hey, you're just upset because you got beat by a girl all three times and didn't win once!" Paul yelled.
"Whatever. You're still alright by me, babe." Forest said. He leaned forward and placed his hand on her womanly place, trying to make it look like and accident.
"You disgusting pig!" Danny shouted, and she gave Forest a Phoenix Smasher, the Phoenix family's deadly signature attack. Forest instantly doubled over and began coughing.
"I had fun tonight, Paul. I'm going out for a while, but I'll be back." Danny said. She turned around to Marshall and grabbed his arm this time. "Goodbye, Marshal." She said sweetly. She grabbed her coat walked out the door.
"Jesus Christ, man." Forest groaned. "You don't lie, Paul. She DOES hit harder than you do."
"I told you. She's a Phoenix, alright."
"You guys want to go get a few beers or somethin'?" Marshall asked.
"Sure, why not?" Paul said
"I'm in." Forest said.
With that, the three men walked out of the apartment, as good of friends as ever. Truly, the bond between the Phoenix and Law families could not be broken.
