"Oh no." Sara said as she, Chel, Miguel, and Tulio found them self's in an arena with two high walls.

"What is the object of this game?" Tulio seemed really annoyed.

"You have to knock the ball throw the hoop." Chel said worriedly.

"What hoop?" They both asked.

"That hoop." Both Sara and Chel said and pointed to the hoop way up high on the wall.

"You guys can't lose, gods don't lose!" Sara whispered before she and Chel headed over to the bench.


"Their pathetic..." Sara said slapping her fore head as Chel was calling out random rules being broken by the other team, which was not helping at all. As Sara looked to her right she saw a brown armor dillo was sitting right in the middle of her and Chel. Looking at him, to the brown ball on the field, then back, an idea popped into her head. It seemed like Sara and Chel had the same idea because when the real ball few out of bounce, Chel gave them the 'ball' (a.k.a armor dillo) back. Sara went up to Miguel whispering good luck to him, then gave him a small kiss on the cheek, though making sure her brother did not see.

"You like him, don't cha?" Chel said, as Sara sat down next to her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sara said as she kept her eyes on the game. Thought the smile on her face gave it away.

"Besides, you have a thing for my brother, right?" Sara said looking to her best friend.

"You could say that." Chel said while playing with her now new golden earnings, while watching Tulio's behind. You just smiled and brought your attention back to the game.

When it came down to the final point Sara realized that when the armadillo came back, Chel threw a real ball instead. She quickly realized her mistake and held up the armor dillo pointing to it. When the boys saw the armor dillo, they panicked and almost missed the ball. Sara could feel her heart racing as the ball stopped in between the hoop only slightly moving. When it finally rolled out on the other side, Sara jumped for joy and ran to Miguel throwing her arms around his neck giving him a hug as he spun around once with her in his arms.

"You Guys Did It!" Sara said happily, while putting some space in between her and Miguel, but not out of his grasps. Looking up at him, she saw that he was bleeding above his right brow. Before she could say anything Tzekel-Kan came screaming about how the losing team should be sacrificed.

"Enough, we don't want any sacrifices!" Miguel yelled as he let go of Sara let go and walked over to the men who were bowing on their knees.

"But all of the sacred writings say you will devourer the wicked!"

"Well I see no one here that fits the description. The gods are speaking for them self's now! This city and these people have no need for you anymore! There will be no more sacrifices, not now not ever! Get out!" Sara was shocked. She didn't think Miguel would have it in him to stand up against Tzekel-Kan. He really did love this city and its people, in just a few days too, just like you did. Quickly you went to his side and helped some of the men to their feet.

"As the Gods Command" Tzekel-Kan said with a creepy smile and walked away. Both Tulio and Miguel where lifted into the air by the people and headed off to celebrate their victory and bravery.
