Chapter 6 Time to play the game!

Hunter was nervous before his first game. He was just given a new broom from his messenger dragon. The Pedigree 9000! To his shock… it was a sledgehammer! Hunter knew this would give him the edge in the game. He joined the others who were all ready for this. Kane lead the charge followed by Adam and Jason. Backed up by three others who went by the name of Robert Van Damson, Steven Richardson, and Matt Hardy. Hunter stood next to Kane. Kane looked down at him "You nervous?" he asked. Hunter nodded. "I was too, but I got over that pretty quickly… I think" Kane replied.

"You don't remember?" Hunter questioned.

"Oddly no, I was hit by one of those steel things I showed you yesterday. I woke up in a hospital bed when I came too. But we won!" With that the gate opened. Hunter walked out see everyone cheering for him. He was the only new student ever to join the team; he was one of the youngest too. They were facing Scaleyarse today. Their team captain has been known for cheating. Eddie Gurrarrotoro. There was his team, Rico, Albert, Rene, Booker, Tyson, Jamie Noble, and Danny Bashem. They were all ready to get down and dirty for this. Taking to the sky Hunter saw his friends cheering him on. He saw Taker Darcodorf watching too. So he knew he better make this good. When the objects were released they flew all over the place. Hunter didn't know what to do at first till one of the steel objects came. He dodged it in the nick of time. Only to see Jason come from behind, grab it and hit Tyson full force!

"Damn!" Hunter called out.

"Hey! It's what I do!" Jason smirked. Hunter flew around the field; he saw Jason and Adam use the flying steel to take out Danny. He watched Kane take the large ball and throw it through Scaleyarse's goal getting five points to start the game.

"This is just starting the game homes!" called Eddie.

"Bring it on Scaleyarse!" Kane shot back, just as Tyson blind-sided him from the back of the head with one of the flying steel sheets. The crowd gasped in shock, but those of the Griffengree house were not surprised to see Kane speed after Tyson for that last shot!

"Whoa… he's ok?" Hunter asked.

"He's our captain for a reason!" called Matt. "Now get off your stick and get some points!" he called. Hunter looked about the field for the golden snatch. It was a hard thing to find.

"Damn why did they make it so small? Who the hell invented this game anyway?" he wondered. He looked for the snatch only to be shoved harshly by Booker. Booker laughed as Hunter went flying down. He tried to pull up but something was wrong! He couldn't! His sledgehammer went left right up and down trying to get him off.

"What's wrong?" Chris as Stephoine as they watched the game, Stephoine used her goggles and found Professor Spark talking on the other side of the field.

"Oh no! Spark is cursing Hunter!" she whispered.

"How do you know?" Chris demanded.

She showed him what she saw. "He's not breaking eye contact! When casting a spell you have to keep full eye contact!" She replied. Pulling out her wand, she left her seat and ran over to the other side of the field as fast as she could through the stands. She went under the stands where Spark was casting his spell. Pulling out her wand she whispered. "Flame tame" and made Spark's robe catch fire! The people parted and Hunter got back on his game. Just as the golden snatch flew right by him, Hunter knew it was his time. With great speed he flew down to chase the snatch. But he knew someone was following him. He did a quick pause and a fast turn knocking Tyson off his stick… litterly.

"Haha sucker!" He smirked. Hunter kept going, Kane saw this and was pleased… not before Eddie jumped him and threw him off! Kane hit the side of the tapestry that lined the field; many were in shock that someone threw Kane off his game. He crash landed on the ground and was out cold. Hunter was worried. But knew the game would be quickly over if he got that snatch! He kept flying after it, but Rico same in and was neck and neck with Hunter, pushing and shoving one another to get their opponent off their stick, but no good. Hunter noticed all the glittery things Rico was wearing.

"Dude, you catch that thing it will clash!" he explained.

"You're right! I am in no right fashion to get gold on this outfit! Thanks!" he said and pulled off!

"Damn, I didn't think that was really going to work!" he laughed. Hunter kept up with the snatch, he watched it try and dodge and swerve its way out of his sight. But Hunter was locked on it. In a bold move Hunter stood fully on his Pedigree 9000 getting closer and closer. He was in reach of it until he lost his balance. His Pedigree hit the ground. Hunter went flying through the air and bounced a few time off the ground. People gasped in shock as to what happened. But Hunter got back up. He went into his pants and pulled out the snatch! People laughed and cheered for Hunter.

"Well that was total D.A.L!" he laughed. Hunter held up the snatch proudly. The people cheered, but Hunter saw the teacher tend to Kane. Hunter learned what taking one for the team was all about. "I still think that's how his head looks so weird" he muttered.

After the game…

Hunter went to the ward where Kane was being kept. Kane was sitting there grinning like a cat with a mouse. "We won," he said before Hunter even opened his mouth.

Hunter smiled. "Yeah we did" Hunter grinned. He noticed Kane's attention was on the wall. Hunter turned to see the dog painting, they were playing cards and one was cheating.

"Damn those pit bulls, can't trust any of them" he smirked. "So… I'll be ready for the next game!" Kane grinned. Even though Kane took a beating, he truly loved this game. Hunter did too. He figured he would get better at it, till he can proudly say he was that damn good at Fidget!
