-"Hah!" Taiki yelled as he returned another disk against his opponent, the god of sports Chaquen
The god received the disk on his hand "Hmm"
Both fighters were sweating heavily
Despite the wounds they have taken so far, it seems they have yet to show their full potential
-"Incredible!" Heimdall yelled "For the last couple of minutes, both Taiki and Chaquen have been immersed in a game of throwing and returning projectiles!"
For the regular humans and gods, this was indeed a great demonstration of skill
However
-"I don't get it" Taiki thought as he returned another disk with his racquet
The first one to notice something was odd
-"Why does he insist on throwing disks if I can just keep sending them back?"
Was Taiki
-"Ok" Chaquen said "I know what to do now, niño"
-"Huh?"
-"It´s been a while since I was forced to use this technique, so" he grinned at the young fighter "Don't disappoint me"
Unexpectedly, Chaquen jumped high into the sky
His figure eclipsing the sun as if looked he was floating right in front of it
-"What a high jump!" Taiki thought impressed
-"Now!" suddenly, more Tejo disks showed up between the fingers of the "Lluvia del Sol!"
By spinning at great speed, the god unleashed a shower of disks in all sorts of directions
It was like Taiki was about to be engulfed by a dome of projectiles
-"Crap!" he clenched his teeth
There was no way for him to dodge this
So he knew he had only one choice
-"I accept your challenge, Chaquen-san!"
Spinning his racquet like the blades of a windmill, Taiki began to block the upcoming projectiles
-"Hah!" he yelled as the disks bounce against his racquet, falling to the ground
-"What a risky move!" Heimdall yelled "Being unable to dodge, Taiki is using his racket as a shield to deflect the disks!"
"Hah! Ragh!" Taiki kept yelling as he kept deflecting the projectiles
More and more disk filled the ground
However
-"Tch" Taiki could feel as one of the disks slashed his left shoulder
-"No matter how much he spins that racquet of his" Chaquen thought while high on the sky "There's bound to be openings"
And he was right, even though Taiki was spinning his racquet at marvelous speed
-"Ngh" another disk cut hit on his left peck
The small openings his racquet left as it was spinning were small and shot, but it was more than enough space for them to pass and damage the young player
Eventually, the rain of projectiles stopped
-"Hah...Hah" Taiki was panting heavily
He had few more cuts in different parts of his body, the blood dripping from them taiting his skin
-"Well well" Chaquen said as he landed on the ground
-"Tai!" Geirölul yelled deep within his soul, concerned all over her face "Are you ok?!"
-"Don´t worry Geirölul-san" despite the pain, he was not bothered "This is nothing compared to Haryu-senpai´s training"
-"I must congratulate you niño" Chaquen continued "I threw a total of 100 disks" Chaquen called back all the disks to him, which disappeared into thin air "And you only got hit by 5 of them. It really is a proof of your skill"
-"Thanks, Chaque-san"
The public cheered at this demonstration of skill
-"Now it's my turn!" Taiki dashed at his opponent
-"This niño can still move after that, huh?" Chaquen thought, genuinely impressed
He threw a disk at him
However, rather than hitting it with his racquet, Taiki slided with his knees, the disk passing centimeters above his face
-"Take this!" Taiki threw his chain at the god
The chain tangling itself on its wrist
-"Ngh" the god clenched his teeth
Taiki pressed from his handle, and the chain retracted itself back, carrying the god with it
-"No you won´t" using his free hand, the god threw another disk at Taiki
Realizing he had no other choices, Taiki released the god from the chain and dodge the disk
-"In that case" he jumped at his opponent at great speed
Slamming his racquet down, it clashed against one of Chaquen´s disk
-"Not bad" Chaquen said, and with a swap from him, broke the stalemate "Hah!" he brought his disk down to cut down Taiki
However, Taiki used his weapon to block away the attack
Both of them kept this process of throwing hits at each other, each one block by his opponent
-"For the first time in this fight, both fighters choose to fight at close range, who will take the advantage!" Heimdall asked
Sparks were flying as a results of their weapons colliding against each other
They were waiting
-"Hah!" Taiki brought his racquet in an upper diagonal way, Chaquen brought his head back
For an opportunity
-"Ragh!" Chaquen tried to slash Taiki´s face, who ducked from the attack
An opening that they can use
-"Hah!" their weapons clashed once more, interlocking each other
Both were trying to push the other
-"This guy" they both thought the same
Their hearts were beating like never before
Despite the grim situation, there was something that was clear for both of them
-"Hah!" Taiki pushed his weapon up, breaking the stalemate
Chaquen staggered back
-"Don´t look down on Taiki Inomata!" he moved his arm back, accumulating strength "The best badminton player of the Tokyo Prefecture!"
-"..." his senpai Haryu felt a shiver down his spine
Back on Earth
-"..." a certain player known as Shuji Yusa also felt a shiver down his spine
Back at the fight
Taiki went for a down smash against Chaquen
However, the god was able to jump back, avoiding the attack
-"Ah!" Taiki panicked
-"You´re not quite there yet, Taiki" Haryu said
-"Uff" Chaquen cleaned some sweat from his forehead "That was quite close, not bad niño"
-"The best badminton player of the Tokyo Prefecture?" Taiki´s friend Kyo said in disbelief
-"Ugh" Taiki got red
-"You still have a long way to go" Haryu said in disapproval
-"Well, I was just saying" Taiki tried to defend himself
-"You´re always just saying" Hina said
To this, Chinatsu laughed at his antics
-"Ugh" Taiki felt more embarrassed "When this is over, I´m gonna crawl myself under a rock"
-"Heads up, Tai!" Geirölul yelled
Noticing the upcoming danger, Taiki jumped left, dodging another disk
-"Hehe, I like your attitude niño" Chaquen felt pleased
-"This guy, I gotta figure a way to land a blow on him" Taiki thought, analyzing the situation "There are still two mines beneath the ground, I can't move around carelessly"
-"This niño… His drive…" Chaquen smiled "He's just like him"
Chaquen, a god for the Muisca people
He was often honored by the people, since it was said that he was the one that led to good harvests
And while that was true, that was never his interest
Festival were often made for this god, with dance, music, drinks and the like
However, he never cared for those things either
What he was truly looking for was… a worthy challenge
-"Let´s see"
One day, he was exploring a village
One of the advantages of humans not knowing how he actually look was that he could walk around them without any issues
He made it to the town square, where he saw people adorning a statue of him
-"These people" he sounded rather annoyed "Do they really think I like this?"
-"Hah!" someone yelled
Curious, he followed the direction of the voice
-"That's my win, man!" one guy said
-"Lucky bastard" the loser growled
Arriving, what Chaquen saw were two people playing the game he loved the most
Tejo
-"Awesome!" he had stars in his eyes
He approached them "Hey, how about a game?"
The winner looked at Chaquen "Your lost" he was not thinking too much of him
And he was quickly proved wrong
-"Agh" the loser grabbed his head in despair
Chaquen smiled happily, "Want to go another round?"
And little by little, more people were drawn to that village, to defeat the unstoppable Chaquen
And each one failed
However, the glory of victory was short lived for this warrior
Because whenever he asked them for another match
No one accepted
Chaquen let out a sigh "This people don't have the drive to try harder"
He was bored once more
Until one day
-"I´ll take you on!"
Someone yelled
He was a small kid, no older than 13, with a thin build and messy brown hair
he wear a regular shirt made of leather that extended until his pants knees
-"Sounds good niño"
And they played their game, which Chaquen easily won
However
-"Not yet!" the kid said, panting, but still happy "One more round"
Chaquen was impressed by this. No opponent has never asked for a rematch before
No matter how many times the kid fell, he still got up and asked for a rematch
All the matches were easy for the god, but he was happy
Happy that he´d found someone with this much drive
-"You sure don't give up, niño"
-"I don't want to… My dad taught me that, so long as you have a chance to fight back… You shouldn't give up"
To this, Chaquen smiled "Sounds like good advise"
-"Would you play against me tomorrow, sir?"
-"Sure, niño, what's your name?"
The boy smiled "I'm Tommy"
And with that, he went back home
The following day, Chaquen was waiting for Tommy to show up
He waited, and waited, and waited
But no signs of Tommy
Until
-"Hey, have you heard the news about Tommy's family?" a villager said
-"Huh?" Chaquen overheard that
-"Yeah" another villager said "They´ve found his family murdered!"
Chaquen gasped in shock
-"What?!" he yelled as he approached the two of them "What happened to them?!"
-"You don't know? Someone broke into their house, trying to steal. The family returned, only to find the criminal. Little Tommy tried to defend his family using a Tejo disk, but the assailant gained the upper hand and" the villager swallowed "And used said disk to cut the throats of Tommy and his finally"
Chaquen had a cold sweat falling from his skin
But also, a burning rage on his heart
And so, he began his search
At night, at the village
-"Great" the criminal said "This family had some good money"
-"So you were the one" someone coldly said
The criminal looked at the source of the voice "What did you say?"
-"You killed Tommy and his family?"
-"You mean the kid with the Tejo disk? Yes, why do you"
His words were cut off as his head fell to the ground
A bloody disk returned to Chaquen´s hand
The one he had used to killed the criminal
And with that, he left, never returning to that village
Because the one opponent with the drive he´d been looking for
Was dead
Back at the fight
Since then, Chaquen taught that he would never find an opponent like that boy
However, the young warrior in front of him was proving him wrong
Taiki Inomata
-"You really have the drive of an athlete, niño" Chaquen said "Which is why I will come at you with all I got"
-"Wouldn't want it otherwise" Taiki readied himself
Suddenly, Chaquen begin to mash his disk togethers
-"What´s Chaquen doing?!" Heimdall asked shocked
Chaquen kept applying pressure on the disk
One would thing he was shattering it into pieces
However, it was the opposite
The mass of disks kept on growing on size
Until
-"That´s" Taiki was surprised
Chaquen now had a gigantic disk, the light of the sun reflecting on it
-"This is my ultimate projectile, niño" Chaquen said "Let's see what you can do" Chaquen began to spin, accumulating momentum "Flying Disk: Speed of Light!"
Chaquen threw the disk at his opponent
It was coming in fast, Taiki got ready to return the projectile
However, out of nowhere, it disappeared
-"Huh?" Taiki could not get it
-"What happened?!" Goll asked "It disappeared! Did it not work?!"
-"No" Brunhilde said "It my guess is correct, then"
Suddenly, Taiki felt a shiver on his spine
Like all alarms on his body were yelling for him to get a move on
And so, he jumped
The disk that Chaquen had previously thrown was coming from behind
Taiki did good on jumping

-"Gah!" Taiki yelled in pain
-"Tai!" Geirölul yelled in shocked
-"Taiki!" Chinatsu yelled in shocked as well, deeply worried for him
Blood splattered into the ground… Alongside Taiki´s right foot
Chaquen recovered his disk
-"Ngggh" Taiki was doing his best to endure the pain
He saw his cut off foot
There was what it appeared to be the remains of a ribbon
A ribbon that has been attached to what was his ankle before
-"Damn it, it just had to be that one"
Blood was dripping from what was left from his ankle
-"What a turn of events!" Heimdall said "Despite his jump, Taiki´s lost one foot due to the projectile thrown by Chaquen"
The gods cheered for its warrior
-"Ngh… Damn it, it hurts" Taiki had his eyes shut
-"Not bad, niño" Chaquen said, honestly impressed "You have good instincts"
Taiki clenched his teeth at him "Not so good… Crap, I should have moved faster!"
-"It seems the time has come for that human" Ares mockingly said
That was all the others god
Without one foot, what could anyone do? Any normal person would know they were pretty much cornered

But, Taiki was not normal
-"Ngh" he took off his shirt, and tied it around his cut ankle in order to stop the bleeding
-"What the?!" Heimdall asked
Struggling, and using his racquet as support, Taiki began to stand up
-"Inomata-san" Goll said shocked
All of humanity and the gods had their mouths open at this demonstration of will
-"Hah….Hah…." Taiki stood up, panting,
He was tired, he was one foot down… But
-"I´m not out of the game just yet, Chaquen-san!" Taiki exclaimed
-"Taiki" Chinatsu said
-"Hahahahaha!" Chaquen laughed, satisfied "I knew that was not enough to stop you" Chaquen called back his smaller disks "Let's keep it up"
Chaquen threw another disk
Using all his strength, Taiki jumped out of the way
He waved his arms to regain his balance as soon as he landed
-"Ok, one jump at the time Taiki" he said to himself
The god kept throwing disks at his opponent
It was taking all he had, but Taiki kept jumping out of the way
-"Hah… Hah…"
-"Tai" Geirölul asked "Are you sure you can continue?"
-"Don´t worry" the young warrior said "I have a plan"
Taiki kept dodging the projectiles
With each dodge, he was getting closer to his opponent
-"Something's odd" Chaquen realized as he threw another disk "If he keeps moving this way" he glanced at a particular spot of the ground that Taiki´s was close to landing to "There´s another mine there, and he's about to land on it, which would be good for me and yet… I can't shake this bad feeling off"
-"Why is Inomata-san jumping at Chaquen?" Goll asked, confused "Wouldn't it be better for him to keep his distance?"
-"Inomata-san is the type of person that meets challenges head on" Brunhilde said
Which was true
However, that does not mean he does not have a plan
-"If my intuition is correct" Taiki thought while dodging another disk, getting closer to his opponent "Then" he looked at a particular spot "Right there… it should be there"
Taiki took another jump forward
However, as soon as his good foot landed on the spot of the ground
A light began to emanate
-"Oh no!" Goll yelled
-"Sorry niño" Chaquen said
It was the same light from one of the landmines Taiki had stepped on before
The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the cloud of smoke
The smell of the explosive could be sent across the arena
All that was left was to see Taiki´s body flying backwards like before

However, what happened next was something no one expected
Taiki came jumping out of the smoke, straight towards the god
-"What?!" Chaquen was shocked
-"This guy" his friends and family thought at the same time
He power through to a powerful explosion,
His skin was further burnt, he had blood taiting his arms
But he was not gonna give up
-"Take this!" he smashed his racquet down
The god was so impressed that he failed to stop the attack
And so, he could only be send back as the strength of his opponent's attack collided against his face
His jaw and teeth were loosing up
-"Bwah!" Chaquen yelled in pain as he was sent flying backwards towards the wall of the arena, making a hole as he collided into it
-"Amazing!" Heimdall said "With sheer strength, Taiki delivered a powerful blow against the god"
Humanity cheered for its warrior
-"Hah…Hah" Taiki was catching up his breath
-"Ugh" Chaquen came out of the hall, falling on his knees as he did so
He spit some blood alongside some teeth
And he had marks of the strings of the racquet all over his face
It looked like a waffle
-"Now that's what I call a heavy blow, Tai" Geirölul said, smiling smugly at the god
-"Damn it, niño" the god said while enduring the throbbing face on his face "You sure pack a good swing on that"
-"We are not done yet, Chaquen-san" Taiki said
Despite being injured, it looks like he was just getting started
-"So long as there is one point left…" he took a deep breath and let it out "A MATCH IS NOT DECIDED!"
Never give up, no matter the opponent he faces, no matter the circumstances he´s gets himself into
-"Let's keep this up, Geirölul-san" he said
-"Damn right, Tai!"
He won't give up so long as he still has a chance to revert the situation
And they all knew that
-"Taiki" Chinatsu said, feeling relieved for him
She knew that stubbornness of him
Was his strongest point
And that´s the end of that, both fighters are giving it their all, but only one will win
Sorry that it took so long for this chapter to come out, I was fully focused on one of my other projects. I´ll try to be more careful in the future
