A/N: I added the more in depth part as to what happened with the soccer player so we can see how the injury happens as opposed to my other version of this story where it all kinda happens, and added a bit so we can see what happens for the Field Hockey round. It'll be entertaining. Now it's time for Kouichi, Lia, and Tommy to head out onto the field to play some soccer! Can they get the first win for Shibuya? Let's find out!

Chapter 3: Get a Goal! Get a Win!

"I don't think this really fits…" Lia commented walking out of the changing room and over to the group. Coach Nolan had asked for Holden and Lia to change clothes so Holden gave his uniform to Lia for the girl to wear while Holden put on his sweats, but they hadn't counted on the fact that Holden was much larger than Lia was in height. The red soccer shorts were hanging a bit on her hips, showing a bit of her black sports spandex, and the white and red t-shirt itself was a few steps away from being a Nighty.

Coach Nolan shook his head. "That's not going to work."

Zoe clicked her tongue. "Nonsense, I'll make this work!"

Takuya looked at the blonde in confusion. "You can get that to work for Lia?"

"Without a doubt and without having to cut anything."

Holden, who was getting fitted for some crutches that the sports doctor was going to get for him, looked up hearing the word 'cut'. "I'd hope not. I still have to wear that you know."

Zoe laughed. "No worries, all I need is a hair tie."

Lia pulled at one of the two on her wrist and handed it to her blonde friend. "One's for my hair."

"All I need is one."

Kouji shook his head. "I still don't know how you're going to fix that."

Zoe waved her finger at him. "Never underestimate the power of a girl."

"Just go with it dude," Kouichi whispered to his twin, who shrugged.

Zoe walked over behind Lia and rolled up the top of her shorts so they were shorter and tighter on her. She then took the bottom of the t-shirt and gathered all the extra material in the back, pulling the shirt a bit tighter so it fit on the small girls frame, and tied it with the hair tie. "Tada! Done!"

Tommy blinked seeing as the clothing had gone from loose and baggy to tight and fighting within a span of two seconds and only using a hair tie. "That's cool! How'd you know how to do that?"

"That's my little secret."

"Oh, she's with THAT again," JP teased. Zoe tossed a playful glare at the boy before looking at her fellow Field Hockey player who was pulling her hair up into a ponytail.

"You think you'll be okay? You're using you Field Hockey socks, cleats, and shin guards, so they should protect you better," Zoe reminded her friend in worry.

After picking up her hair so that her bangs were out and swept to the right side of her face and her ponytail was high up so that the ends of her hair met in between her shoulder blades, the redhead nodded. "I should be good. Haven't played in a while though, but it'll come back no problem."

Kouichi grabbed a soccer ball and nudged Tommy. "Tommy and I will help you get warmed up. We only have five minutes. The rest of you guys can head back up to the bleachers now."

Takuya, JP, Zoe, and Kouji all did just that and walked back over to their seats. "How do you think they're going to do?" JP asked curiously.

Zoe shook her head. "I don't know JP. The soccer team is really good, but a lot of them got injured so it's mostly subs playing. And Lia hasn't played in a year. It's a toss-up."

"But Lia is good, right?" Takuya asked a bit hopefully. Zoe just shrugged. Kouji sighed.

"For our sake, I hope she is. Cause they have to win this and Field Hockey for us to have a shot." Just as soon as he said that the soccer players from both teams ran out onto the field. Tommy, Kouichi, and Lia we're standing in a cluster on the field, talking and laughing about something.

JP smiled. "They don't seem worried."

"Man, you picked it up again fast." Kouichi complimented Lia as they were on the soccer field and waiting for the coaches to make their way onto the field to give them their assignments.

Lia grinned. "Thanks Kouichi. My uncle taught me when I was a kid. He says I had a real knack for it too. Course my dad wanted me to focus on music."

"You play music too?" Tommy asked excitedly. Lia shrugged.

"I dabble a bit."

Tommy smiled. "Well it's a good thing you did or else we'd have to forfeit!"

Coach Nolan ran onto the field along with the Harajuku coach and had the team huddle up. "Alright, as you boys know Holden's hurt so we have Lia stepping in."

"Hi!" Lia said waving her hand.

One of the other boys, Vic, smiled. "At least it's gonna be a nicer atmosphere now that it isn't all a bunch of testosterone driven guys."

Lia laughed. "I take that as a compliment."

Coach Nolan looked around at the group before looking at the Harajuku team. "Alright, I'll give you your assignments. Vic you're in goal."

"As always," Vic grinned.

"Brad you're going to stick with Vince from Harajuku. Kane you're with Nick. Tony you stick with Carlos." Each boy, as their name was called out, looked over at the field to look at the boy they had to guard. Seeing as they had gone against Harajuku for two years already, they pretty much knew who each player was. "Fred you're with James. Kouichi you got Rick. Tommy you get Eric and Lia you get Mitch."

Lia, not having been on the soccer team before, looked over at the Harajuku team in confusion. "Who's who?" She asked nudging Tommy.

Tommy pointed to a boy who was pretty tall and semi nice looking. "That's Eric. I'm tailing him. And see that boy with the red hair?"

"The one with all the muscles?"

"Yeah, that's Rick. That's who Kouichi has," Tommy pointed out. Lia then shook her head.

"Then who's Mitch?"

Kouichi gave her an apologetic look and pointed to a familiar looking boy with brown hair and green eyes. He was very tall and muscled. He looked over and grinned viciously. Lia remembered him as one of the boys that had protected Missy. Also he was the lead boy who she insulted. Kouichi looked down at her face and nodded. "Yeah, he's Mitch."

Lia nodded. "Crap."

"Alright everyone let's go out there and win!" Coach Nolan shouted that got everyone pumped up as they ran onto the field taking spots where they were supposed to go. Kouichi, who was next to Lia, looked at the girl who was bouncing on her toes.

"You think you'll be okay?" He called out as the Harajuku players got ready. Mitch saw that he had Lia and grinned, going to stand across from her. Lia nodded looking at Kouichi.

"Hopefully!"

At once the ref blew the whistle and the game began. Tommy ran forward and got to the ball first. He started dribbling it down the field when Eric and Rick decided to double team him. Tommy kicked the ball over to Kouichi who redirected it to Lia, seeing as the girl had run around Mitch and got open. Lia quickly navigated through the lines of Harajuku kids swarming her way and got an opening for the goal. She grinned and kicked the ball powerfully sending it into the upper right hand corner of the goal, out of the goalies reach.

Shibuya: 1 Harajuku: 0

"Woo! Nice goal Lia!" Tommy cheered as he ran to stand next to the girl before they started doubling back. Lia grinned.

"Thanks Tommy!"

Harajuku went back onto the offensive and flooded toward the Karakura goal. The charging team took the Karakura players by surprised, who were normally used to more strategic plans from the school, and managed to score a goal.

Shibuya: 1 Harajuku: 1

"Aw man, I didn't expect a rush from them," Tommy complained.

Kouichi put a hand on the boys shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we won't lose."

Lia grinned. "Kouichi's right! Let's get in this game!"

The game continued on until it was in the final few minutes. After the first two goals of the game, no one had scored and Shibuya had the ball. Tony had the ball and passed it to Tommy. Tommy, who was in between three defenders, redirected the ball towards Lia who was, currently, outmaneuvering Mitch. Lia got the ball, managed to spin her way out from around Mitch and kicked it to Kouichi who scored a goal. The Shibuya side went up in cheers. "Nice teamwork!" Zoe called out from the stands.

Shibuya: 2 Harajuku: 1

Tommy, Kouichi, Tony, and Lia all smiled and waved at the blonde before the four fist-bumped and got back to running. A few of the Harajuku players—Mitch included—got into a huddle quickly before they all grinned maliciously.

"Uh…you guys noticed those looks?" JP questioned looking at Zoe, Takuya, and Kouji. The three all nodded in agreement.

"What are do you think they're gonna do?" Takuya questioned.

Kouji narrowed his eyes. "I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good."

The players started up again, with Lia getting the ball. She dribbled it down field when she saw something out of the corner of her eye that made her freeze. She kicked the ball over to Kane just as Mitch and Carlos both slammed into the girl, causing her to crash to the ground and roll out of bounds.

"Lia!" All the Legendary Warriors, and a large majority of the Shibuya soccer team, called out. The ref blew the whistle and started yelling at the two boys for unsportsmanlike conduct, while the Shibuya team ran over to check on the fallen girl.

"Lia, you okay?"

Lia was holding her knee and breathing deeply, trying to calm herself down and ignore the pain. "I'm fine. I just fell on my knee," Lia hissed out, mostly in pain and partly in annoyance that the two boys actually checked her.

Tommy reached down to help her up. "You think you can stand up?"

"Take it easy, not too fast," Kouichi advised when he saw Lia ready to jump up. Lia frowned but nodded, and slowly get up, allowing Kouichi and Tommy to help her.

"Lia!"

The team turned to see Kouji, Takuya, Zoe, and JP running in their direction. "Lia, are you okay?" Zoe questioned, obviously worried for the safety of her friend.

Lia nodded and winced a little bit when putting weight on her leg, but did well not to show it. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just pissed is all."

"Are you sure? You look like that leg of yours hurts a bit," Kouji commented, fawning ignorance. He had a keen eye and could tell that her leg was injured. She was just too proud to admit it.

Lia narrowed her eyes. "I said I'm fine."

"Man, those guys are desperate! They should get thrown out of the game!" Takuya argued.

JP nodded. "At least the ref is giving them a warning. If they do it again they get thrown out."

"If they do it again, Lia may not be able to get up next time," Kouji pointed out. "You sure you're up for playing? You've got Field Hockey after this too."

Lia nodded, giving Kouji a look that clearly meant she wasn't going to back down. "Oh I'll be fine, trust me. And I really want to kick their asses after this."

The ref ran up to the group and looked Lia over. "Can you continue?"

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, then get back in the game. There is only a minute left," The ref reminded before running back onto the field. Lia, Kouichi, and Tommy followed him off and soon the players were all ready to play.

The game started off again and the teams sprinted after the ball. Kouichi got the ball and kicked it over to Tommy, who had just gotten away from two defenders. Lia was running from her defenders and got open. She noticed Mitch running towards her and smirked maliciously. Tommy kicked the ball her way. She got the ball and maneuvered around Mitch, tripping him inconspicuously, and kicked the ball back over to Kouichi who scored a goal just as the buzzer sounded.

Shibuya: 3 Harajuku: 1

The Shibuya crowded went up in cheers, as the soccer players all started screaming and shouting, celebrating their victory. The soccer team had gotten Shibuya back in the competition.

"We did it!" Tommy cheered, running over to Lia and Kouichi who were celebrating near the goal.

"Was there any doubt?" Kouichi grinned.

"All Field Hockey players have fifteen minutes to get changed and on the field!" One of the referees called out. Lia, who had been in the middle of some victory dance, winced.

"Looks like that's my cue to head off boys!"

It had only taken four minutes for Lia to change back into her Field Hockey uniform before she ran out with Zoe onto the field to start up warm-ups. Kouichi and Tommy had changed into their soccer sweats and joined the other boys up in the stands, grins on the soccer players' faces. "Way to go you two! The soccer team got us back in this game!" Takuya cheered.

Tommy smiled as he sat down on the bleachers, reaching into his bag to pull out a bottle of water. "Thanks! But if Lia hadn't filled in for Holden then we would've been done for."

"And she bounced back from that check no problem," Kouichi added on. Kouji shook his head at his twin, and Kouichi gave him a confused look.

"She didn't bounce back; she just made sure that no one could tell that she was injured." The boys all turned to look at Kouji as if he'd sprouted a second head. Kouji sighed and facepalmed. "She was trying not to put too much weight on her leg, and when she was running she had to hop a bit."

"How could you tell?" JP questioned.

Kouji shrugged. "I'm more observant, I guess; the fact is that she is injured. We just need to hope it's not too bad."

"How's your knee?" Zoe asked looking at Lia. The team had just finished their warm ups and were waiting around on the field for the game to start. Zoe noticed that Lia had been wincing a bit during their legs stretches and decided to call the redhead up on it.

Lia gave a sheepish expression and shrugged. "It's holding up. I'll get a brace and some ice after the game. For now, we need to kick ass so football can bring home the gold."

"But is it going to affect your game?" Zoe asked in concern. She and Lia were the best players on the team. And Zoe was good, but she wouldn't be able to carry the team by herself. Plus, she wanted to make sure her friend was okay.

Lia shook her head as she started twisting her Field Hockey stick in her hands. "No, I should be good. Unless I like take a nasty hit and just crash." Zoe, Lia, and the other girls talked for a while before the ref called for the game to start. The girls lined up on the field with Zoe in the center to be the one fighting for the ball against Harajuku's Captain… who just happened to be Missy.

"Ready?" The ref called. Zoe nodded her head and bit down on her mouth guard to readjust it while the Missy growled at Zoe. The Warrior of Wind simply rolled her eyes. Without warning the ref dropped the ball in between them. Zoe immediately moved her stick in front of the ball and hit it over to where she knew Lia was waiting.

Lia used her stick to maneuver the ball around four defenders before it passing it to Naomi who was near the goal. Naomi tried to hit a goal, but it was deflected out towards Zoe who hit it into the goal.

Shibuya: 1 Harajuku: 0

The girls all started cheering on the field, as did the rest of the students in the Shibuya side of the bleachers. The Harajuku side booed at the girls on the field but that didn't stop their mini celebration. "Alright, girls let's not get ahead of ourselves! Keep your heads in the game!" Coach Ambrose called out. The girls all nodded and readjusted themselves.

"You're going down Shibuya," Missy hissed at Zoe and Lia.

Lia and Zoe merely smirked. "Fuck off, Harajuku."

The girls on the field all played hard. Some people might even argue they were playing harder than the soccer boys had. Girls were illegally checking other players while the ref had his back turn, hacking at other people's sticks, tripping others to the ground and even some of the more aggressive and desperate girls—namely Missy and her lackeys—were going so far as pretending to accidentally miss the ball and hit other girls' legs. By the time the half-time clock rang all the girls were looking tired and slowing down. Some girls even had some blood on their knees. Both Shibuya and Harajuku's girls went to their sidelines and almost all the players were immediately looked over by the sports doctor. The score was:

Shibuya: 3 Harajuku: 3

"Man! Those girls are brutal!" JP commented from his spot up in the stands. The boys were looking on in amazement at how the girls were getting quite aggressive during their game. Tommy nodded in agreement.

"No kidding! Already at least two players from each team had to be taken to the sports office because of broken bones."

Kouichi raised an incredulous eyebrow. "It's only been two from each? I thought it was at least four."

"It's hard to keep track," Takuya spoke looking at the score. "It's a pretty close game though. You think the girls can do it?"

Kouji shrugged and sat back. "I think so. Though, Lia has been hopping a bit more when she's running. I hope her knee isn't hurt too badly." Kouji noticed the silence and looked up to see all the other boys staring at him with grins on their faces. "Oh screw you guys! I don't like her!"

"Sure you don't…" Takuya grinned.

"Like you're one to talk with being in love with Zoe?"

Takuya promptly shut his mouth.

"Man these girls aren't going down without a fight, I'll give em that," Zoe muttered, taking a long swig of her water bottle. "How are you holding up Laura?"

Laura, a brunette girl who had gotten checked into the bleachers early on in the game, gave Zoe a thumbs up and went back to talking to the sports doctor about her ribs. Zoe then turned her glance to her fellow Captain who was sitting in the grass next to her, not trying to move her knee too much, while drinking some water. "What about you?"

Lia looked up and fawned ignorance. "What about me?"

"Don't play that Lia."

"Well my knee is hurting like a bitch. I'm going to need some ice and a knee brace after this game."

Zoe furrowed her eyebrows in concern. "You still think you should play?"

"Hell yeah, I'm still playing."

Zoe couldn't help but laugh as she tried to lean back in her seat only to wince when her shoulder hit the back of her chair. She started rubbing it, in a vain attempt to sooth the sharp pain. "Man, I know how you feel though. My shoulder is killing me. Some idiot decided to trip me and then had the audacity to fall right on top of me."

Lia laughed. "Oh the nerve of some people."

The ref gave the warning to both teams that the game was going to start up again. The girls all winced. Zoe and Lia shared a look before standing up and putting their goggles back over their eyes. "Alright girls, let's end this game!" Zoe cheered. All the girls cheered along with her, getting hyped up before running out onto the field.

This time it was Lia in the center against Missy. "Ready?" The ref asked. At their nods, the ref dropped the ball and Lia, quick as lightening, gained control of the ball and started sprinting down the field.

There were three girls blocking her way to the goal so she hit the ball towards Alice, who was already in a perfect spot to make a goal. Alice hit the ball, but the goalkeeper moved in time to keep it from scoring. "Get ready to get that ball back!" Lia shouted as the girls all doubled back to protect their goal.

Unfortunately, Naomi and Laura had a miscommunication with Zoe and Lia, and ended up running into them when they all went to charge the Harajuku girl with the ball. Thanks to the slip-up the Harajuku girl scored a goal.

Shibuya: 3 Harajuku: 4

"Damn it!" Naomi cursed looking to Lia and Zoe. "Sorry guys."

"Don't worry about it; Lia's about to get a goal to tie it," Zoe smirked looking to Lia. Lia smirked; as did Laura and Naomi who were used to what play Zoe was talking about.

Sophie, their goalkeeper, sent the ball over towards Alice who started sprinting to run alongside Lia before tapping the ball so it rolled over to the red-head. Lia—for someone who was reduced to an awkward hopping run—was blowing past all of the Harajuku girls. Anytime one of them got too close Zoe, Naomi, Laura, and Alice would run in front of them before stopping, causing the Harajuku's to have to stutter-step and run around them. That gave Lia enough time to run up to the goal and hit the ball in.

Shibuya: 4 Harajuku: 4

The score remained like that until the game was down to its last thirty seconds, after the Harajuku coach had called at timeout. The girls were all huffing and puffing on the sidelines, downing entire bottles of water in one gulp. "Alright girls, we've got thirty seconds to win this game. We're going to get the ball to Lia and go with our Stutter-Step play," Coach Ambrose ordered.

Lia, who had just resurfaced after downing her water, shook her head and gave her coach a pained and apologetic look. "Can't coach, my knee isn't cooperating," Lia replied, motioning to her purplish looking knee.

Coach Ambrose furrowed her eyebrows in concern. "Can you walk on it?"

"I can get it to work for me for one more play. Do the Stutter-Step with Zoe. I wouldn't have to run too fast to run interference and Zoe is just as fast—if not faster—than I am," Lia pointed out, gesturing to her blonde comrade.

Coach Ambrose looked from Lia to Zoe who looked like she was pretty tired, and was holding onto her shoulder. "Are you up for running this? I've noticed your shoulder has been hurting."

Zoe nodded, giving Coach Ambrose a reassuring look as she gave the rest of her team a thumbs up. "Nothing I can't handle! Let's do this!" The ref blew the whistle and the girls all headed out onto the field. Zoe and Lia were near the same area and they shared a look. "Sure you can do it?" Zoe asked worried. Lia smirked.

"I'll be fine. You just get the goal and I'll clear a path."

The ref blew the whistle again and Harajuku started with the ball. Alice swooped in and stole the ball away from the girl, hitting it over to Zoe. They were already in Harajuku territory so they wouldn't have to run very far, but there were quite a few defenders.

Naomi, Laura, and Lia flanked Zoe and got in front of the three defenders going after her and started implementing the Stutter-Step strategy. For Naomi and Laura it worked flawlessly and they managed to get two defenders off of Zoe's tail. For Lia, unfortunately she got in front of a very fast and very stupid friend of Missy and when Lia stopped, she couldn't slow herself down in time to stop so she crashed into the redhead. The girl landed on Lia so that the redhead fell to the ground, on her knee.

Zoe noticed her crash out of the corner of her eye, but couldn't stop. She was too close to the goal, and time was running out. She would run back and check on her as soon as she scored. Zoe was all alone in near the goal, when she saw Missy start sprinting towards her, ready to hack at her stick. Zoe quickly scored the goal just as Missy hacked at her stick, only she missed and slammed her stick into Zoe's wrist.

Shibuya: 5 Harajuku: 4

The buzzer rang out and the Shibuya section erupted in whistles, cheers, and shouts, at the buzzer beating score while the Harajuku section started booing and complaining. "We did it!" Alice cheered running over to Naomi and Laura, while the rest of the team celebrated by their goal.

"That was a great goal Zoe!" Laura smiled looking towards the blonde. Her eyes widened when she saw the blonde on her knees cradling her arm, her face contorted in pain.

Naomi followed her glance and gasped. "Lia, Zoe is—" She cut herself off when she saw the redhead lying on the ground holding her knee and rolling around in pain, her face showing the agony she was in. Missy and her little lackeys were laughing with Missy at the injured players. The three girls froze seeing their two captains on the ground in pain and the girls laughing. "Coach! Zoe and Lia are hurt!" Alice shouted while Naomi and Laura charged down the field to tackle the three laughing girls to the ground. Soon after the tackle the benches of the girls Field Hockey teams for both schools emptied as they all rushed forward to jump into the fray.

Tommy looked over from the fight and saw the two girls on the field. "We need to help them!" He turned and blinked when he saw that Takuya and Kouji were already halfway down the bleachers, heading for the field.

"Let's go, guys!" Kouichi shouted as he, JP, and Tommy got up to run after the two boys.

Kouji and Takuya blew passed all the Field Hockey girls fighting, the soccer players who had jumped down from the bleachers to break up the fight, Principals, and the sports doctor as they ran towards the two fallen girls.

"Lia!"

"Zoe!"

Kouji skidded to the ground next to Lia, looking her over trying to see what was wrong with her knee. Although it was pretty obvious by the way she was clutching it and the gross color it was turning that she might have popped it out of place. "Lia, what's the matter?"

Lia, rolling around crying out in pain, stopped for a brief second to give Kouji a 'what the hell do you think?' look before going back to shouting in pain.

"Zoe! Zoe, are you okay?" Takuya called out as he fell to his knees beside the blonde, looking at the hurt expression on her face before turning to look at her arm. Her wrist was red and it was obvious she was trying not to move it. Tears were trickling down Zoe's cheeks and Takuya acted on impulse. He wrapped an arm around her waist and gently put his hand on top of the hand holding her wrist before hoisting her up to her feet. "It's okay Zoe, I'm going to get you to sports doctor. You're gonna be okay."

Takuya, while helping the sniffling Zoe to the sidelines, saw Kouji fall into step beside him, Lia cradled in his arms as she grabbed her knee in pain. The two completely ignored the chaos ensuing behind them. "How's Lia doing?" Takuya asked.

"THIS FUCKING HURTS! WHY THE HELL IS THAT GODDMAN FAT BITCH ON THE TEAM ANYWAY? ISN'T THERE A FUCKING WEIGHT LIMIT FOR—"

"…what do you think?"

"So what's the diagnosis?"

The sports doctor, Coach Peterson, looked up from Lia (who was lying on a bench with ice on her knee, her cursing diminishing) and Zoe (who was holding an icepack on her wrist as she tried talking to Tommy to ignore the pain). He looked around at the Field Hockey girls—who had gotten checked out and got in trouble by their Coaches and Principal—Coach Ambrose, and the Legendary Warriors who were all looking at her expectantly.

"Well, I believe Lia has popped her knee out of place and received a small fracture on the top of her tibia, while I think Zoe has dislocated her shoulder and fractured her wrist in two places. Both of them are out for the rest of the season. I can get a sling and crutches from my office but they'll need to head to the hospital after this to have x-rays taken to be sure and to get proper treatment."

Both girls shared an annoyed look that they were out for the season while the Field Hockey team all started voicing their complaints. The boys all looked concerned for the girls. "How long would it take for something like that to heal?" JP questioned.

"A few months perhaps, maybe more or less. It's hard to tell without x-rays," Coach Peterson shrugged.

"All football players, you have thirty minutes to get changed and onto the field!" The ref called out. Takuya and Kouji shared a look before looking back at the two girls on the bench.

Zoe caught the look and gave them a reassuring smile. "You two go on ahead, I'm sure the other boys will be alright with helping us to the sports office."

"Yeah! You go on ahead! We'll take them!" Tommy agreed instantly.

JP gave a thumbs up and smirked. "You guys just focus on winning the game!"

"If you're sure…" Takuya started. At the agreements of the others Kouji and Takuya sighed. "Alright, wish us luck!"

"Good luck guys!"

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Watch it Kouichi!" Lia complained as the boy tried to help her sit down on the bleachers. Zoe rolled her eyes as she watched Tommy and Kouichi try and sit the girl down on the bleachers without bending her knee.

The two girls had already gone to the sports office to get some more ice and their crutches and sling respectively. Coach Peterson wrapped Zoe's wrist up and gave her a sling, placing an icepack inside of it on top of her wrist. For Lia he couldn't put a brace on her knee, because he would have had to pop it back into place first, and instead gave her crutches and tied an ice pack around her knee.

The football game was about to start and while JP and Zoe were already seated, Kouichi, Tommy, and Lia were trying to figure out a seating arrangement where they could all sit but have Lia's knee still bent. After around five minutes of trying to maneuver around each other Lia had just settled for using Tommy as a footrest—the boy to kind and happy to refuse—and just lean against Kouichi. It wasn't the most comfortable position, but it helped her pain situation.

"So is the game going to start soon?" Lia questioned.

JP nodded. "Kick-off should be in a few minutes."

"Man this is so exciting!" Tommy beamed, trying to reframe from bouncing up and down in his seat.

Kouichi grinned. "Definetly! We just gotta hope they can pull this off."

Zoe shook her head, a confident smile on her face. "They will. No doubt about it, they will."

"Dude, I'm so pumped!" Takuya shouted, bouncing up and down on the field. Kouji rolled his eyes as the team started lining up on the field to get ready. Kouji and Takuya started moving to the side of the field where they were supposed to start off.

"Calm it down Takuya, don't get overzealous."

Takuya groaned dramatically. "Way to be such a downer. Can you be happy for at least one minute?"

"Yes. I just choose not to."

The ref blowing the whistle got both the boys to focus on the game that was just about to start. Shibuya kicked off the ball and the game commenced. Harajuku didn't have the ball for very long before they had to turn it over to Shibuya. Shibuya didn't get any points either before they had to give the ball back to Harajuku. That was how the first two quarters of the game started. Neither team gaining any ground or any points.

After halftime Harajuku had scored the first touchdown of the game, causing the Harajuku sidelines to erupt in cheers.

Shibuya: 0 Harajuku: 7

The score remained the same and soon it was the beginning of the fourth quarter. Coach McKnight had gathered the boys to give them a pep-talk. He never was one for screaming and found that just talking to his team produced better results than cursing and screaming. "Alright boys, it's the fourth quarter and all we're down a touchdown. We can do this, but we all need to work together. Defense we need you to stop Harajuku's offense, and offense we need some points on the board. I know you boys can do this. Now who's ready to kick Harajuku ass?"

"WE ARE!"

The football team ran onto the field with a new determination and got ready to run a play after just getting the ball back. Takuya and Kouji shared a look as they stood on the outside of the lineup. They knew what play they had to run, and as long as one of them got open, it would be perfect.

"Down, set…HIKE!"

Both boys took off like rockets down the field, outmaneuvering their defense and getting into open ground. The quarterback, Jackson, saw them both out there and threw the ball to Kouji, who jumped up and caught it before running down the field, towards the end zone. The two Legendary Warriors got swarmed by defenders and they started to implement their strategy. Takuya sprinted in front of Kouji before jumping into the air, like a jumping spider, and landing on top of at least three of the Harajuku defenders, clearing a path for Kouji to run. Sure, it was an unorthodox play, but it got the job done. Takuya personally liked shouting like a madman and jumping onto the opposing team.

Kouji, now clear to run, made it into the end zone to score the first touchdown for Shibuya. Special teams quickly lined up on the field and their kicker, Jason, kicked the football into the field goal to get the extra point attempt, and tie the game.

Shibuya: 7 Harajuku: 7

"We tied it up!" Takuya high-fived Kouji.

Kouji grinned. "Yeah we did! Nice job taking out those defenders by the way. But seriously, was the screaming 'cannonball' necessary?"

"Extremely necessary!"

The game continued on until there was only around forty seconds left on the clock, with Shibuya in possession of the ball. They were at their own twenty yard line and had a ways to go. The team huddled.

"Alright, we need to go deep with this on," Jackson spoke.

Reese, one of the running backs, nodded his agreement. "Definetly, we'll need to throw it to either Takuya or Kouji."

"Takuya," Kouji immediately spoke up. The Warrior of Fire gave him a confused look, causing him to roll his eyes. "I'm a better blocker than you are, and unlike you I don't have to kamikaze my way into defenders. I can stay on my feet. We'll need to throw it to Takuya."

"Alright, we'll throw it to Takuya doing a Hail Mary play," Jackson spoke clapping his hands breaking the huddle. The boys lined up again and got ready for their final play.

"Down, set...HIKE!" Takuya and Kouji took off in a straight line, trying to get as much space between them and the defense as possible. Takuya turned to look back and saw the ball hurtling towards him, and around four defenders sprinting to catch up. Takuya easily caught the ball and continued sprinting as he crossed the fifty yard line. Kouji fell into step beside him, ready to takedown people who got too close. And that was exactly what happened to a defender that had tried to tackle Takuya. Kouji had dipped his head down and rammed his shoulder into the defender, sending him to the ground, and still maintained his footing to keep running by Takuya. They were at the twenty when Kouji had to 'kamikaze'—as he put it—his way into defenders to allow Takuya to get the touchdown. The winning touchdown. The Face-Off winning touchdown.

Shibuya: 13 Harajuku: 7

The entire Shibuya section went into ear shattering applause and cheers as the football team—on the field or not—swarmed the two wide receivers and threw them onto their shoulders.

Shibuya had won the Face-Off.

"We won! We won!" Tommy started cheering, jumping up along with JP, Zoe, Kouichi (who had enough sense to move Lia's leg from Tommy's lap and help her up) and Lia.

JP pumped his fist in the air. "Alright! We beat Harajuku! Way to go guys!"

Zoe beamed and saw Lia looking a bit in pain. She was about to ask her why but an awkward movement of her arm sent pain shooting to her shoulder and wrist. "Now all we have to do is head to a hospital."

"That was such an awesome run! You guys were great!" Tommy complimented looking at Kouji and Takuya. The group was walking down the streets heading to the hospital, and were still talking about the Face-Off.

Takuya beamed. "It was so much fun! I totally saved the day!"

"But I was the one who saved your ass from the defenders, Takuya," Kouji reminded.

"But we were the ones who won the two games to let you guys even get a chance to play," Lia pointed out, motioning to herself, Zoe, Kouichi, and Tommy.

JP laughed. "Why don't we just say it was a team effort and be done with it?"

"Fair enough."

Lia checked her watch and cursed. "Aw man, I'm going to be late. I have to head home; my parents are going to be worried."

"But we still have to go to the hospital," Zoe reminded her fellow Field Hockey player.

Lia nodded as she started to change directions. "Yeah I know! Call me and let me know what hospital you're going to! I'll have my parents take me there!"

"Alright! Bye Lia!"

"Bye Lia!"

Lia smiled. "Bye guys!" And with that the girl disappeared around the corner, looking as if she had just gotten the hang of her crutches.

The group continued on their path towards the hospital for their blonde companion and drifted off into a comfortable conversation. They were talking about how their practices had gone, asked if Zoe needed another ice pack, and were giving their opinions on the newest addition to their group.

"I think she's pretty cool!" Tommy stated happily.

Takuya nodded his agreement. "Yeah, she's pretty cool."

"She's alright," Kouji shrugged nonchalantly.

Kouichi grinned evilly as he slung an arm around his twins shoulder. "She's just alright? Why Kouji, that's not a very polite way to describe your future girlfriend."

"Don't make me hit you Kouichi."

The group snickered at that reaction. Kouichi just continued, undeterred. "I'm being serious Kouji! I just want to make sure you don't start your relationship off badly by insulting her. You two are such a cute couple."

"You do know I'm not at all conflicted with punching me twin, right?"

Kouichi was about to retort when his cell phone went off. When everyone's' cell phone went off. The group froze and shared a look before they each scrambled for their phones, to confirm their suspicions. And just as they had suspected they each had a text message. Identical text messages.

Do you wish to start?

After a shared glance they all hit 'yes'.

The Digital World needs you once again. Go to Shibuya Train Station and board a train.

Without needing anything else the group took off, heading for the train station. Luckily the station was empty and just so happened to be six tickets coming out of the ticket dispenser. They quickly piled into the elevator and were buzzing with excitement. As soon as the doors opened, the Legendary Warriors spotted a lone Trailmon waiting on the tracks. The all climbed on (Takuya pausing to help Zoe on) and took their seats. Five minutes later the Trailmon started moving.

The silence that had filled the air on their way to the train station quickly dissipated as the Legendary Warriors all started talking excitedly.

"Can you believe it? Another adventure!" Zoe beamed.

Kouichi grinned. "And this time I know I haven't fallen down some stairs and am in a hospital."

"Let's try NOT reliving that," Kouji stated nudging his brother. "You kicked our ass every time we tried fighting you."

"Not my fault I'm just that talented."

"Oh, getting cocky now, are we?"

Tommy rolled his eyes and smiled. "Well at least we're all working together now! This is gonna be fun!"

"But what if we've got some really big problems to deal with?" JP pointed out.

Zoe groaned and rolled her eyes dramatically. "Way to be a downer JP. Besides, we'll be able to handle it."

"Zoe's right!" Takuya agreed. He ignored the smirks the other boys tossed his way and continued talking. "No way are we going to be taken down! We're the Legendary Warriors and we're going to save the Digital World!"

"Digital World?"

Everyone froze and turned to look at the front of car they were in. Standing there, looking completely confused and bewildered was Lia. She was looking at the group in utter confusion. "What's the Digital World?"

"Oh crap."
