Back at the future, Akito was given the proper equipment he needed to play Basherball.
"Don't feel bad if you miss a few on your first try, kid," Trick said as he helped Akito into the gear for the game. "I've been playing since I was about your age, I used to spend every summer practicing with my dad, I was hoping it would help get me into college and then the National Sports League."
"Kind of like Michael Jordan." Akito said.
"I guess you could say that." Trick smiled to him.
"Cool, anyways, let's get started, so, how do we get started?" Akito asked.
"Think of riding this like a hoverbike," Trick advised, showing him the part he and the other players ride on. "Try not to fall."
Akito nodded, he got onto it after the gear was placed on him, he felt slippery, but he gripped onto it tightly.
"It takes a little getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it." Trick encouraged.
"Thanks for the encouragement." Akito said, honestly.
"Of course," Trick smiled. "Why don't you practice riding in it before we start the game?"
Akito thought that would be a good idea, once he found out how to start it, he turned the vehicle on and started to glide and hover around the arena. And started to take it like fish to water just like with Atticus got control of his strength the first day and then got control of his magic when he was in his pony form of both the good magic and when both he and Twilight took the dark magic like fish to water.
"You can spin too, but I wouldn't try that until you're fully used to it!" Trick called to the boy.
"How do I spin?" Akito asked.
"Press the green button and speed up when you're about to go to the wall." Trick explained.
"Thanks for the info." Akito said as he hovered towards a wall and then he did a spin as he was about to got to the wall.
Trick kept a close look to Akito and was impressed that he did a first perfect spin. Akito managed to help himself not get stuck and he hovered down to the floor next to him.
"You're a fast learner, kid." Trick smiled.
"Thanks, I learn many things pretty fast." Akito said with a smile.
"Now, let's see how you are with goals and catching." Trick then replied.
Akito was excited, his first real Basherball game, even if no one was really going to be watching.
"Let's just see of how you do against me." Trick smirked playfully.
"Bring it on." Akito laughed, also playfully.
The two then had their one-on-one Basherball game. Trick was a professional, but he decided to go a little easy on Akito since he was a newbie and a little kid and all.
"Alright, give me your all." Akito challenged.
"You asked for it." Trick chuckled, he summoned the red ball and now the game was on.
Akito gripped the handlebars tightly like the first time he learned how to ride a bike and he hovered it and caught it and made his way towards the goal.
"Oh, steal my ball, will you?" Trick playfully taunted.
"Hey, it's just how you play the game." Akito playfully taunted back.
"Don't hate the player, hate the game!" Trick laughed as they played together.
Akito struggled a little, but he managed to get his first goal, only no fireworks since this wasn't a live game. "GOOOOAAAAAL!"
"Not bad, kid." Trick smiled to him honestly.
"Thanks, but all the thanks goes to the teacher." Akito said.
Trick chuckled and gently patted him on the back. Akito smiled and then decided to look at the time, so then he wouldn't be late for his training with Ace.
"You got time for another game?" Trick asked.
Akito saw he had a little time left before training, then playfully looked back in determination. "A rematch, huh?"
"You know it." Trick said, playfully determined.
Akito laughed. The two then played one more game before Akito decided to get back to the tower before it would get too dark.
