Bastard Munchen Vs Ubers

The crowd went wild as the announcer shouted, "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka scores another goal putting Bastard Munchen in the lead!"

Koji sighed and thought, 'One more and that's a hat trick.'

Koji turned to Kuorna and said, "One more and you get that meal Shark Teeth."

Kurona looked at him and said, "You got it."

Noa stepped off saying, "Kiyora. You're back on." Kiyora nodded as he got onto the field

Barou walked over to Snuffy and said, "You said you wanted me and Nishioka to become the Kings of Ubers right well I don't give a shit about that. I'm going to be the best in the world!"

Nishioka sighed and said, "I'm with him on this one. No way I'd settle for just Ubers."

Snuffy looked shocked and thought, 'These two. It really is like watching my and my old friend together don't he field again. Could these two do it? Could they reach the top of the world?'

Nishoka looked at him and asked, "Are you really going to retire?"

Snuffy smirked and said, "I guess not then you two. Haha."

Snuffy got onto the field as the crowd went wild and the announcer shouted, "Marc Snuffy has just rescinded his retirement!"

Snuffy came out onto the field saying, "Now it's time."

An Ubers player swapped out as Koji thought, 'I haven't actually watched much football but I know he's Italy's best player.'

Lorenzo started with eh ball and said, "Have fun" as he passed to Snuffy.

Snuffy smirked as he rushed up the field and Koji thought, 'Now's your moment Raichi! Mark him! Impede his every... what the...'

Snuffy had already made it past most of the defence leaving Raichi in the dust as Koji rushed into the defence and went shoulder to shoulder with him Snuffy said, "Woah! You're strong. I doubt my body could beat yours. But..."

Snuffy shuffled the ball with his feet as Koji analysed the path killing the path ahead each time when Snuffy passed to Lorenzo and Koji and Kaiser rushed towards the respective duo trying to put a stop to them. Meanwhile, Isagi thought, 'I was just a tool. He sees me as nothing but a tool he can use to his disposal.' Isagi's head burst into puzzle pieces as he thought, 'Fuck you Noa! If you think you can do that and get way with it you'll learn!' as he rushed up thinking, 'I'm going to prove myself here!'

Snuffy and Lorenzo passed between each other when Isagi stole the ball from Snuffy and said, "I'm going to score!!!!"

Noa looked at it from the stands and was shocked thinking, 'Isagi Yoichi. Did my earlier play fire you up that much?'

Snuffy was baffled thinking, 'The hell? This kid!'

Isagi rushed forward with the ball as he thought, 'Watch their movements... and respond!'

Isagi nutmegged Niko and then recovered the ball. Barou rushed in shouting, "That's it you fucking shrimp! I'm putting an end to you!"

Isagi shouted, "Shut the hell up!" as he passed the ball to Kiyora and the two of them rushed up the field. Kiyora saw the path thinking, 'There's no way that would be possible...' but then the thought, '... Why does it feel like it is?'

Isagi rushes forward not looking at Kiyora who makes a pass. Koji rushes over to Isagi and he goes shoulder to shoulder with him saying, "Your level of play has improved Isagi Yoichi."

Isagi glares at him and says, "Get the fuck out of my way!"

Koji sighs and says, "There's no way for you to score right now Isagi Yoichi. Your accuracy isn't high enough and your swing speed isn't fast enough. Give me the ball."

Isagi glares at Koji and says, "No! Anyone but you!" as he sees Kaiser and makes a pass to him.

Koji looks shocked as Snuffy rushes up the field looking to intercept but Kaiser sees the ball and says, "Good pass Yoichi!" as he volleys the ball and hits the back of the net.

Bastard Munchen (4) [Michael Kaiser] : Ubers (2)

Koji sighed thinking, 'That was the most logical decision. I did see it as a possibility but with Snuffy in that position blocking the shot would lead to him gaining possession and that would be disasterous.'

Kaiser celebrated as the crowd cheered as Ness thought, 'I wasn't the one that made Kaiser's magic shine?'

Snuffy looks to Lorenzo and says, "Haha. We're on the ropes."

Lorenzo smirks and says, "Yeah we are. You got 3 minutes left too."

Snuffy smirks and says, "Then let me show them."

Lorenzo nods passing to Snuffy who rushes up the field tearing through the defence. Koji, Kaiser and Isagi all rush towards him as Snuffy uses a few fake outs to get past Kaiser and Isagi as Koji sees the path rushing in but Snuffy flicks the ball up dodging a tackle as Koji barges into him preventing a volley as Koji says, "If you think that's enough to..."

Snuffy smiles as he nutmegs Koji getting past him and says, "You're good kid. But I'm the best player in the world" as he shoots the ball using a trivella as the ball hits the back of the net.

Bastard Munchen (4) : Ubers (3) [Marc Snuffy]

The crowd cheers as Snuffy says, "I got 2 minutes left right? Then I can make it for one more goal."

Koji looked at Snuffy and thought, 'What the hell just happened? I was closing my legs right after taking that step so how? How did he find that opportunity? I underestimated him. To beat him I have to go all out.'

Isagi looked shocked as he thought, 'The hell? He beat Ayanokoji in a one-on-one? There are guys capable of doing that?' (Forgive me for being a Snuffy Glazer)

Isagi started with the ball as he passed to Kiyora as the two of them moved up with the ball. Lorenzo followed Kaiser as Kiyora's path got cut off by Aiku Niko covering his passing route to Isagi. Kiyora passed to Ness who thought, 'Come on Kaiser get free of that gold tooth!'

Koji rushed in shouting, "Ness get rid of the ball before..."

Snuffy steals the ball saying, "You're too loyal kid"

Kaiser sees this and shouts, "Ness you fucking idiot!" as Raichi shows up as Koji and he both stop Snuffy's path. Snuffy passed to Nishioka who crossed the ball to Barou.

Barou charges forward with the ball as Koji says, "Raichi stop Snuffy even if it kills you" as he breaks off from Snuffy just barely blocking a shot from Barou.

Nishioka rushes in kicking the ball as Koji makes a sharp turn blocking Nishioka's shot as well when the ball falls to Snuffy as Raichi tries to unbalance him as Snuffy says, "Haha. You're incredible Ayanokoji. You should have joined Ubers" as he shoots the ball curving it into the goal.

Bastard Munchen (4) : Ubers (4) [Marc Snuffy]

The crowd goes wild as Koji thinks, 'This man tied up the score with two consecutive goals within 5 minutes.'

Snuffy smirked and said, "I guess my times up but I think my impact was pretty good."

Koji smirked and said, "World's best player. You sure are. It was my mistake joining Bastard Munchen to target Noel Noa. You're the one that I should have aimed my fangs at."

Noa looked irritated at this comment as Snuffy made a surprised face and said, "Too late for that kiddo" as he stepped off the field.

Koji sighed and said, "Then I'll crush you on the world stage."

Snuffy smirked and said, "Give it your all kid. I'll be waiting for you."

Kaiser looked at Ness and asked, "What the fuck were you doing there?"

Ness looked to Kaiser and said, "I was... I was waiting for you to get into a better posi..."

Kaiser glared at him and shouted, "Who the fuck do you think I am? You think I can't score from a difficult pass you shithead?"

Ness got scared as he thought, 'But I'm just trying to make it easier for you to score Kaiser...'

Kaiser sighed as Isagi started with the ball. Isagi passed to Kaiser as Kaiser thought, 'What the? Yoichi? You usually play with the breakdancing brat though?'

Kaiser accepted the pass, rushing up the field and passing to Isagi. The two began working together, and Isagi thought, 'It's just like I thought...'

They got past Lorenzo using 1-2 passes, and they both thought, 'Our Vision is the same!?'

Koji rushed up thinking, 'They're working together huh? These two are a good duo.'

Isagi and Kaiser made it past Lorenzo who was left in the dust as he tried to catch up to them. Koji dashed past Lorenzo who thought, 'The heck is going on? I'm getting left in the dust?'

Koji caught up but the two of them looked to him and began passing between each other. Their synchronisation was incredible as Koji thought, 'These two... they might be the best duo in the entire Neo Egoist league. If only Sae was here.'

Kurona rushed up and said, "Hey Number 1. Don't forget I'm here."

Koji smiled and said, "Yeah I know" as he thought, 'Even with Kaiser and Isagi working together Kurona is here with me. With him, I can score the final goal.'

Aiku and Niko rushed up as they tried to cut off their route, which slightly delayed them. Koji went shoulder to shoulder with Kaiser, saying, "That last goal is mine."

Kurona came in between Kaiser and Isagi cutting off Kaiser's passing route as Koji stole the ball and did a through ball as Kurona sped up reaching the ball. Isagi came in as Kurona made a final pass before he fell over because of Isagi's press shouting, "You better score!"

Barou, Nishioka, Aiku, Niko, Kaiser and Isagi all converged towards Koji who used highly technical dribbling the get back as Isagi thought, 'Hold on he's...'

Before he could stop himself from getting drawn into Koji's play he collided with Barou with no way of not being able to counter Koji when Barou realised it thinking, 'Wait is he...'

Koji's eyes slit as Noa stood up a little thinking, 'This play is...'

Snuffy was in complete shock as he thought, 'That level of play. Saying he's on the level of the New Generation 11 is an understatement. He's on the level of the World Five. He might be better than Loki.'

Koji curves the ball around Aryu's head with a Curved Impact Shot making Aryu say, "Huh!? Such a divine shot. My eyes are blessed."

Barou saw the shot and he looked dumbfounded thinking, 'He replicated my Predator Eye without teamwork!?'

Kaiser looked at the ball with despair in his face as he thought, 'He added a Curve to my Impact Shot!?' and the ball sunk into the goal.

Bastard Munchen (5) [Ayanokoji Kiyotaka] : Ubers (4)

The crowd goes wild as the announcer shouts, "And Ayanokoji scores the final score securing his hat trick. The king of the field has been born today!"

Noa's eyes widened at this as he thought, 'You've completely stolen everything from Kaiser. You really are the one that will rival me.'

Snuffy laughed as he thought, 'He chose to curve the ball like me and just to show me up he added an Impact shot into the mix? What a crazy kid!'

Barou yelled shouting, "How could I lose to him again!? Ugh!"

Kaiser looked in horror as he said with a hoarse voice, "I only scored once... while Koji got 3 goals... I... lost completely.

Ness walked up to Kaiser and said, "It's alright Kaiser. Next time we'll..."

Kaiser glared at Ness and shouted, "Shut the fuck up, Ness. I don't want to hear your fucking voice right now."

Koji gets a call as he hears Suzune say, "Kiyotaka! You got a Hat Trick. You beat Kaiser."

Suzune smiled and said, "I told you you could do it."

Koji smiles and says, "I know. I hope you're doing alright."

"Yeah I am," replies Suzune.

Then Koji said, "I'm glad to hear it."

Suzune was watching the replay as she said, "That was an amazing goal you did there. I couldn't even see you swing your leg. From your positioning, I'm pretty sure the goalkeeper didn't even know you had the ball either."

Koji sighed and said, "As perceptive as always."

They talked for a while but eventually, they had to hang up.

PXG Vs Manshine City

Reo was racing upfield with the ball when Rin showed up in front of him stealing the ball saying "Goal. Goal. Goal!" as Rin rushed towards the goal.

Reo curses, "Damn it!" as Rin passes to Tokimitsu as Reo tries to stop him. Tokimitsu passes back to Rin who traps the ball making Reo think, 'This guy! His trapping, core strength, shooting. All of them are off the charts!'

Rin then shoots the ball curving it into the goal as Reo falls over and Rin says, "You're next Ayanokoji!"

PXG (5) [Rin, Rin, Rin, Rin. Rin] : Manshine City (4) [Reo, Reo, Chigiri, Reo]

The Announcer shouts, "Goal! Itoshi Rin scores again! Despite Mikage Reo and Yosuke Hirata's efforts Itoshi Rin has single handedly defeated Manshine City."

The crowd goes crazy as Yosuke looks annoyed as he thinks, 'I blocked every single shot Shidou made. He didn't stand a chance against me and I blocked 12 shots from Rin but it still wasn't enough to beat him. As soon as he entered his flow state everything around me fell apart. I couldn't counter him in that state. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. The entire area around him was a danger zone. He was completely incomprehensible. He made the field around him completely incomprehensible.'

Reo looked at Rin in agony as he said, "Damn it. There's no way I could replicate that mindset. You're a madman!" as Reo slams his fist into the ground in frustration thinking, 'I can't replicate it. What else is there left for me to do?'

Gagamaru saw the ranking and shouted, "Woah! Ayanokoji's value is way higher than Kaiser's!"

Kurona smiled and thought, 'Looked like I climbed back to 9th place.'

Isagi looked at the values and thought, '180 million for me huh?'

Announcer: New Offer For Micahel Kaiser: 300, 000, 000 from Spain's Re Al

Kaiser saw this and thought, 'My value dropped!? Fucking Ayanokoji!'

Ness saw it thinking, 'No way... Kaiser's value... It dropped?' But still...' Ness rushed over to Kaiser shouting, "Re Al wants you to be their striker. You did it, Kaiser."

Kaiser swings his leg at Ness shouting, "I thought I told you to shut it!" when Koji catches it.

Noa walks over looking at Kaiser and says, "That's enough Kaiser. I won't tolerate violence towards teammates."

Ness falls back onto his ass as he started saying, "Why Kaiser..."

Koji sighed and said, "He's been such a loyal dog for you. I won't stand by and watch as you commit Animal Abuse. PETA would eat you alive watching this."

Ness looks pissed thinking, 'Ayanokoji you asshole!'

Kaiser walks away as Ness says, "Kaiser! We can still do it. We can make it to the top..."

Koji patted Ness's shoulder and said, "He's gone, Ness. He's abandoned you."

Ness glared at Koji and shouted, "It's because of you!"

Koji looked at Ness and asked, "Ness when did you lose the ability to create your own magic?"

Ness was shocked as he shouted, "What the hell are you talking about!?"

Koji looks to Ness and says, "Right now. There's nothing magical about you. You're just a fuel source for Kaiser's magic that I've stolen and now you also have nothing. But with Kaiser abandoning you it's a chance for you to reclaim your magic."

Everyone returned to their master Strikers as Ness thought, 'Wait. When did I... forget my magic?'

Koji looked to Ness as he walked away thinking, 'Ness will finally prove to be useful to me in the next match. I'm sure of it.'

Cafeteria

Koji took Kurona to the cafeteria and let him gorge on food the entire night as he said, "All you can eat Shark Teeth."
