Chapter 2: getting the strength up

I woke up in my bed at mobius' spot at the FFI island.

"great, you're up, finally." Spirit said, sitting in a chair, very close to me.

"how long have I been out?" I asked, while trying to get up.

"A few days, don't worry, the coach won't replace you with someone else, not after that incredible match against that team from the future, or so they say." I jumped out of my bed, walked towards the shower. Then, I walked back to my room, got dressed and walked towards the training field.

"hey, Jason's back." I heard someone say from the field.

"hey Jason." Jazz walked up to me. "I now know one of your pain points." He said and touched my right arm at the same place where I was cut and shot at. It was only a natural reaction for me to scream.

"Jason, do you think you're ready for practice?" the coach asked when he walked towards me.

"let's find out." I said.

(spirit's p.o.v)

Looking at Jason playing the game he loved most, made me a little sad. He got hurt playing it. What if that team got back and finished what we started.

"hey little ghost, why are you so deep in your thoughts?" Shadow asked me.

"I'm worried about Jason. What if he gets hurt again?" I said.

"he'll stand up. He's stronger then you think."

"alright! Show me what you got!" Jason yelled out. Frost and Flare did "fire crystal" again.

"why does he keep doing that? He keeps pushing his limits." I asked to myself. Jason caught the ball, but barely.

"I'm calling this a day guys. Getting a bit of muscle pain." Jason said. He walked towards me and sat down.

"how are you?" I asked.

"my leg still hurts." He said. I got an icepack from Blaze, who was listening to our conversation. I put it on his slightly swollen leg. After 5 minutes, Jason looked around restlessly for someone.

"who are you looking for?" I asked.

"who was that person the team from the future put down in front of me, before I collapsed?"Jason asked.

"you won't believe it, but it was…" I said, but got interrupted.

"hey little brother, I'm back." Red said, giving his brother knucklehead.

"but how?" Jason asked.

"when I fell, I got teleported to another place. Next thing I know, I'm in front of you, seeing you collapse on the floor."

After practice.

"diner's ready!" Rose said. The girls made spare ribs. Everyone almost attacked each other for some spare ribs. After diner, we all got a hot towel. I really didn't mind the heat, but the girls got them really, really hot, so everyone, except Flare and me. When the guys were done raging and cursing, we went to the dorms and got some sleep.

The next morning.

Around 6 am, I got up to do some gymnastics, to try and get back up to strength. After about half an hour, I got to the field and tried some kicks.

"need a training partner?" Jazz was behind me.

"not now, but thanks." I said, while jumping up to get the ball back. I kept on shooting normally to the goal to get my aim back and gain some strength.

That night.

I woke up and instantly walked to the shower. But unlike normal, the water wouldn't flow. I walked to the kitchen, to find the sink all broken and a little bloody. Looking around the camp, there only was the camp. Where the pitch stopped, stopped the world. This was or a fail in my vision, or a dream. Then I wanted to end the dream, I heard a lot of loud voices. It almost deafened me. I slowly lost my patient and started feeding a fire around me.

"Jason, stop. Wake up!" I heard a voice say.

Is Jason going crazy?

I'm sorry for the long time without an update, but I got a new laptop, without word, so I'm trying to get it. Also, I was having a writers block. I'll try to update faster next time, but I can't promise anything.
