Chapter 13: A reason to Soccer
The Match between the two orions begin as it's suggested the team work bad in hindsight as the team had off rhythms that take them in a more of a difficult situation
The ball is now on Asuto as he watch the plauys he just give a bit of huff a bit as the Orion team player tried to steal from him but as he saw in their eyes it almost make him kinda sympathy as he keeps the ball on as long as he can
"What soccer are they playing anyway?" He thought as he pass to Fideo
"Yosh.' Fideo got the ball he was having difficulty going on with the ball as the Shadow Orion is a tough one even if they are talented players this plays are almost impossible as the ball is stolen by one of the players and pass it to Yurika
"It's useless." Yurika said without emotion
"Orion Cross Viper!"
The shot is shot into Rococo who didn't try to catch the ball at all as it went in he know from the start making the team this short is gonna cost him
"Asuto!" Rococo shouted as he gives him a pointer
"Rococo-san?" Asuto asked
"I know this isn't your team but everyone here is of my choice you can trust them and you have the captain badge I saw your FF play you are the heart so act like one if you do your part then maybe I'll do mine." Rococo looked serious
"It seems that rococo is giving a hard pill advice again." Fideo sighed
"And remember Asuto… just do like you always do." Rococo said while holding Asuto's shoulders
"Just do like I always do." Asuto said as he almost forgotten what he learned
"Everyone Gather up first!" He shouted
"Fideo I want to ask your speciality." He asked
"hmm well as you may know I'm a midfielder but I can't do anything without knowing my opponent." Fideo answered
"Edgar what is your specialty?" Asuto asked
"As you may know from my matches. If you need a striker I'm in." Edgar said
"Cobra… Fideo please found their weakness." Asuto said
"Roger." Cobra said
The team tried to take a look at Shadow of Orion their ability is amazing as they had hard time keeping up even if most of them are orion based
"Edgar!" Asuto passed to Edgar
"Sword of Duality!"
Edgar shoots the ball as his twin form shots but the ball flew upward
"Concerto." Yurika stops the attack
"Requiem!"
The team quickly shot and Yurika pass them all even the defenders
"Orion Cross-!"
"You are mine!" Rebecca stole the ball as it landed into the hands of rococo
"Nice save Rebecca." Rococo said
"Fideo!" He pass the ball on to Fideo
"Everyone let's take it easy." He said as the play begins as by his guidance the team get their play together passing each orion's player without inserting much energy as the ball is on Asuto he charges head on but he got the ball ff again and again as the player gives him a pass but inevitably stolen again by Yurika as she gets pass but Cobra tactically gets the ball as Asuto smiled
"You said you are orion players even your play is I have to say beyond my imagination but that was still not beyond him." The forward captain then goes to the keeper
"Sunrise Blitz!"
He shot the shot the keeper by reflect just use his technique to catch the shot
"Black Shield!"
Asuto then goes to Yurika again it's a battle of captain and captain
"Why won't you go down?!" She shouted
"Why are you playing soccer?' Asuto whispered as he pass the ball to cobra then pass it back to him again this time he is heading to the keeper who is ready as he takes play but it was a fake play as the second shoot by Convoy which shoots in
"We've gotten a goal?" The goalkeeper said
The first half then ended as Asuto sighed
"If I don't win my existence." Yurika said
"Don't let emotion catch you yurika take a deep breath." The goal keeper said
"We almost get them." Cobra said
"The first match Fideo let's do your tactics." Rococo said
"can you keep up though?" Fideo asked
"We'll try. It's something that we can do. Please Explain." Asuto said seriously
"If the captain says so you better spill it." Axel said
"Fine here is the trick. Convoy Axel and the defenders I need your help
Asuto and Edgar goes ahead on the second half onto the attack
'Team Tactics : Cattenacio Counter!"
They keep yurika lock on when she is on the defense form as the 6 person the captain of shadow orion can keep up but his ball is stolen by Fidio as he swiftly steals in the middle
"Asuto!" Fideo pass the ball in a long pass
"Sunrise Blitz!"
"Black Shield!"
The shot is obviously blocked but the Shadow of Orion despite their physique had a hard time since the defence is hard to conquer when you are alone and almost no opening as the ball is passed to Asuto as he headed in for Yurika as he face her head on
"Why are you playing soccer?" He asked
"What would you want to know?! You're just an outsider!" Yurika shouted
"Because your plays say otherwise when I clash with you I can feel something bothering you." Asuto said
"We of Shadow of Orion do this for Irina-sama she saves us make a reason in us wanting to play soccer." As they clash Asuto lost it
"Dissapear!"
She shot from that range
"Black Field!"
She shot an ultra powerful shot that represents her sorrow as it is shown in her flashback
Flashback
"Back then I was friends with Froy until one day I met that women although I like soccer that woman gives me a reason." Yurika begins to tell as she comes by to the women known as Irina who took her in train her even in hardship she can tell that the woman had another side unknown to others even it harsh she endure and that is when the Shadow Orion is built.
"If you lose your existence is futile. Win and you shall be granted." The woman said
End of Flashback
"Because we had a reason unlike all of you!"Yurika shouted
"This is a bore to me you are like a child losing his toy this is orion had to offer?" Rococo looked serious
"God Hand Impulse!"
He cross his gold hand and then in X view he punch the shot straight through as it headed straight to Asuto
"Yurika if you don't have faith and fun in soccer then it becomes impossible for you to play." Asuto said as they clash head on
"And after all you are not alone playing this." He said seriously
"How can you be so positive about this?!" Yurika shouted
"Because you have a firm play on soccer if you are that heartless then you won't work hard there is something you want to prove at least in my eyes." Asuto said sincerely
"It's because you are playing for no one! Your one sin!" He shouted as he gets pass Yurika finally
"Edgar-san let's go." The two then perform a technique hissatsu
"Twin Artemis Arrow!"
The two takes a beating on the shot as they pass each other making the line of artemis
"Black Shield!"
"Go in!"
The two shouted as the goal went in
"The reason why he pick asuto to be a forward is none other than for the team morale increase f he stays midfield then Fideo won't be able to use the tactics." Shinjou analyze it
The match begins again with only 10 minutes left as Asuto and Yurika clash again
"Whya re you so persistent?!" She shouted
"Because I don't want to just end this madness but to make soccer a more wonderful place so my friend can come back to… Whatever the cost… What are you fighting for Yurika? Survival? Freedom? No.. All I see is a lonely girl who is trying to justify a reason." Asuto said as he wanted to get pass yurika but he can't as Yurika finally awakened in the last second getting the ball.
"This is finally interesting but it's over." Kageyama said but the timer is over and the shadow of orion loses
Meanwhile,
"Yosh come on come on." Fubuki said
"We're done let's bail but first." Bigman deleted their trace and off the camera as they then went out as the four navy invader players smiled giving a thumbs up
"Cobra we're heading out." The goalkeeper/ hacker said
"Yosh…" On the other side cobra sighed as all of them wanted to go out but Asuto asked Yurika
"Yurika you and your team can come with us experience real soccer." Asuto said
"But I…" The Orion team leader said
"Just go.." The goalkeeper said
"What about you guys?" Yurika asked
"We'll be fine go fulfil what you want Yurika." The goalkeeper said as her team supported her
"Sorry everyone." Yurika bowed as she goes with Asuto
"You know that We'll be discarded right?" One of the other team member said
'"We'll meet again if that is fate and also Yurika-san really need a reason." The goalkeeper smiled
"Who did sent you?" Shinjou asked
"They called her Irina Girikanan." The goalkeeper told shinjou
"Irina Girikanan." Shinjou said
"You must go assistant chairman your position is endanger." The goalkeeper said
As they headed outside they were hold off by some guards but the bus went on perfectly as Asuto and the others gets on time along with Fubuki as they head on
"Huaah that was a thrilling one." Rococo said while smiling
"So bigman what did you found out?" Lion asked
"As we know Bernard was the one having it all but.." Bigman said seriously as they get tehe picture of the real mastermind it was none other than Froy's mother
"So this is in a family territorial huh.' Asuto said
"Yes…" Yurika said
"This is why Froy despise orion so much." Asuto clench his fist
"Hoi chill yourself." Axel gives him an ice cream on the head
"Axel is right you need to chill keep your face straight." Rebecca smiled
"So what are you gonna do now Assistant chairman?" Rococo asked
"I'll keep his son safe." Shinjou made up his mind
"And Asuto since it's a bit over what do you want to do?' Rococo asked
"I'll go back to my team." Asuto said
"We'll be watching." Fideo said
"Yeah me too." Edgar said
"You two." Asuto smiled
"Please win the ffi." Fideo smiled
"We're rooting for you." Cobra said
"Wait a minute you too?" Asuto asked
"Of course that day if you didn't help us no navy invanders we would have been hurting everyone that is why we are in your debt." Cobra said as the navy invaders salute
"I won't tell anyone about this asuto don't worry." Fubuki smiled
"Thank you fubuk-kun." Asuto said as he feels the fatigue kicking in
"Just rest." Rococo said
That is when in the first time I felt relieve
In a world where I can soccer again
Freely play soccer
But that was just a dream
In the end…
It was just an illusion
