With Bastard Munchen

Noa gathered everyone and said, "This is our last match everyone. It's against PXG. Our formation will be centred around Ayanokoji Kiyotaka as our main striker. Kaiser and Isagi will be our Offensive Midfielders. You're our Midfielder Kiyora Jin. Kurona Ranze will be on the Left Wing and Alexis Ness will be on the Right Wing. Raichi Jingo will be our Centerback. Gagamaru Gin will be our Goalkeeper."

Ness looked at the formation and thought, 'Noa is expecting me to work with Kaiser. Kaiser... he doesn't expect anything from me... In this match I have to find my reason for playing football again. My magic. Mine.'

Koji looked at the formation and thought, 'Kurona is an excellent teammate, but if I want to take my game to the next level, he's not the right partner. Playing with Kurona at my side is just too comfortable. He syncs up with me and gives me passes where I need them. I don't exert myself much while teaming up with him, but that also limits my ability to play at a higher level. As a partner, he's just too good.'

Kaiser looks at the formation and exchanges glances with Isagi. Together, they think, 'This is our final push. We have to beat Ayanokoji.'

Bastard Munchen Vs PXG

The two teams step out onto the field as the announcer shouts, "This is it folks! The long-awaited match of the Neo Egoist League! Two undefeated teams! Bastard Munchen Vs PXG!"

Koji walks up to Rin and says, "You've done a good job playing catch-up Rin."

Rin gets annoyed and says, "I'm done playing. I'm gonna crush you."

Koji smirks and says, "It looks like it's time to shoot you down and clip your wings."

Rin glares at Koji and says, "We'll see who shoots down who, Ayanokoji."

Shidou steps up and says, "Hey there you two. Don't leave me out. Hey there Mr. Bland."

Koji looks at him and asks, "Oh so the boring goblin isn't on the bench?"

Shidou looks pissed as Rin laughs a little being unable to control himself as Shidou says, "I'll..."

Rin stops him and says, "Don't get red carded you dumbass." Shidou was still fuming as Rin said, "This is the match where I beat you Ayanokoji."

Koji looked at Rin and asked, "Oh? Is that so?"

Their Auras extended from them, with Bastard Munchen soaked in White Aura and PXG soaked in Dark Green and Pink. The three locked eyes with each other. The referee tugged his collar, feeling the intense atmosphere between the two players. He took out a coin and said, "Call it."

Rin then said, "Heads."

The coin landed in the referee's hand as the referee said, "Its heads."

Koji smirked and said, "Oh look at you wasting your luck on something like this."

Rin glared at Koji and said, "I don't need luck to beat you."

Koji looked at Kaiser and Isagi and thought, 'Those two seem on even better terms than before.' Rin started with the ball, passing it to Charles as he rushed up the field. Charles rushed up as well, with Koji trailing him. His eyes locked on Charles, as he thought, 'Charles Chevalier. The heart of PXG.'

Charles made a wild pass with backspin, rushing straight after the pass. Nanase received it with his left foot and then passed the ball to Zantetsu, who rushed up the field. Zantetsu then made a pass back to Charles, who said, "It's time to be contrarian."

Charles kicked the ball as Isagi and Kaiser rushed up to Rin intending to stop him from getting the ball when the ball turned sharply towards Shidou making Isagi and Kaiser think, 'What the heck? I misread it!?'

Shidou looked at the ball and said, "Scrumptious."

Suddenly Koji showed up next to him going shoulder to shoulder and saying, "Don't even think about it you third-rate goblin."

Shidou looked pissed as he shouted, "Fuck off Mr. Bland!"

Suddenly Rin showed up going shoulder to shoulder with Koji as Koji exclaimed "Rin? You're not coming here to get a better position but to support Shidou?"

Shidou smirked and said, "Right on time Rin-Chan."

Koji looked at the two as he thought, 'This ability to capitalize on me stopping Shidou... an ultimate ball recovery play. This is... Rin and Shidou's... Chemical Reaction!?'

Rin X Shidou

Rin looked to Koji showing off his predator's eyes and said, "If I can't calculate things as fast as you then as long as I keep close and keep my eyes on you you're lukewarm!"

Koji smiled and said, "I think there's been some confusion."

Rin and Shidou looked confused saying, "Huh?" as Koji used his arms to wrestle free of them.

Koji smirked and said, "This play is pretty good. Most players would be stopped by it but unless you have the physical strength to stop me it's worthless."

Rin and Shidou felt Koji pushing through them as they exclaimed, "What the fuck?"

Koji created space saying, "There are only two of you. That won't be enough to stop me" as got through them and passed to Kurona.

Koji rushed up thinking, 'It's time. I'm scoring every single goal!' and he received the ball from Kurona.

Rin and Kaiser showed up at Koji's side as Rin shouted, "Stop you!"

Kaiser pressured Koji saying, "I won't lose to you again Koji! Especially since he's here."

Koji saw Isagi show up in front of him as Koji swung back his leg as Isagi thought, 'He's shooting? No that's crazy! A pass to Kurona? But I'm covering that route.'

Koji kicked the ball curving it as it cut through the grass as it went to Ness who said, "Got it."

The players on the field looked shocked as they thought, 'He passed to Ness!?'

Isagi looked at this and thought, 'No way did he...' Before he could complete that thought he looked back at Koji who had made it past him as Isagi turned around and thought, 'How could I be so stupid!'

Koji then saw Karasu and Charles in front as Ness made the pass. Koji saw the ball and he thought, 'Too easy Ness. You haven't found it yet. Your magic.'

Still, Koji rushed up as Kaiser tried to put his leg in front but Koji put his hand on his chest pushing him back as he swung his leg making Rin think, 'Now!'

Rin moved his leg to intercept and Kaiser tried to imbalance him but Koji faked a volley thinking, 'Thanks for the inspiration lazy genius!'

Koji then leaned on Rin until his body was in a horizontal position and he kicked the ball saying, "Sunset Impact!!!"

Rin watched as he thought, 'What the fuck is this?'

The Goalie looked at the shot thinking, 'It's too fast!' as he couldn't react and the ball dug itself into the goal flying right past the goalie's face as Koji landed on the ground and rolled a little.

Bastard Munchen (1) [Ayanokoji Kiyotaka] : PXG (0)

The crowd cheered as the announcer shouted, "The one and only King Of The Field Ayanokoji Kiyotaka scores the first goal of the match! It's been forever seen I've seen a goal as beautiful as that!"

Noa looked at the shot in shock as he thought, 'That's just like my shot. But he added Kaiser's Impact Shot to it. Wait it was also...'

Kaiser looked at the shot and thought, 'That shot... it was impossible. And... it was... faster than mine... Can I... even win anymore?'

Kaiser gritted his teeth in despair as Isagi walked over and said, "It's not over yet Kaiser. Not until the final goal."

Kaiser shook his head and little to snap out of it and thought, 'That's right. Why am I acting like suck a fucking wuss? Ayanokoji. I'll win. I'll fucking destroy you!'

Koji walked over to Ness and said, "That pass was too easy. It wasn't magical at all."

Ness looked down and said, "Yeah... I know."

Koji looked to Ness and said, "For the next one try to feel it. The spot were you want to pass to. The place which only the best in the world could reach."

Ness nods as Kurona walks over and asks, "We're working with Ness now?"

Koji nodded and said, "Yes. We are. That's fine by you right?"

Kurona nodded and said, "The more the merrier I say."

Rin started with the ball as he passed to Shidou. Their eyes gleamed with Aura as they entered flow and Rin ran down the field. Rin chose a perfect position receiving a pass from Shidou as the two did one-two passes down the field leading Koji to think, 'This is... another chemical reaction between Rin and Shidou? Since when did they learn to get along this well? It must be... Loki!'

—————————————————————————————————————

PXG Meeting

Loki was coaching his team when he said, "Ayanokoji is without a doubt the most dangerous player in the Basrtard Munchen Team and he's developed into a monster since I last saw him. He's even better than Kaiser now so we'll have a lot of trouble beating him."

Rin looked annoyed and said, "I know that already, so what?"

Loki made a serious face and asked, "Do either of you really think you can beat him with how you are right now?"

Rin made a serious face and said, "Yes I can."

Shidou smirked and said, "Fuck yeah!"

Loki sighed and said, "It's Impossible for either of you right now."

Rin stepped up towards Loki grabbing his shirt as he glared at him saying, "I can do it."

Shidou walked over as well saying, "Who the fuck you think you are? I won't lose to him!"

Loki glared at them and said, "I'm the Master Striker Of PXG and I'm telling you you'll lose unless you can form multiple chemical reactions with each other."

Rin looked at Shidou in disgust and asked, "With this antenna freak?"

Shidou looked annoyed saying, "Fuck that."

Loki looked passed as he said, "Then we'll lose the match against Bastard Munchen. If you think I'll allow that...' Loki stood up towering over the two boys and said, "... Think again."

Rin looked surprised as he thought, 'Could it be that Loki has realised how close to him Ayanokoji is? his composure is completely gone.'

Loki glared at them and said, "Work together or I'll bench you both and figure the rest out myself" causing them to sweat.

Bastard Munchen Vs PXG

Rin made a long pass to Shidou as Koji followed behind them and Koji thought, 'It's like an electrical circuit. Going after one of them will result in an immediate pass to the other. This kind of reaction can't be stopped by one player alone.'

Shidou smirked shouting, "Just a few more Rin-Chan!"

Rin rushed forward d making another pass as he thought, 'This isn't good enough. To beat Ayanokoji this mindless state is a crutch!'

Rin's mind cleared as Koji saw this and thought, 'What the hell? Is he evolving again? His face. I still can't read him but it's not rabid anymore. Clam and composed.'

Shidou passed to Charles as he rushed up when Isagi covered Charles and Kaiser covered Shidou as Charles said, "Try to link up from this pass Shidou-Kun!"

Charles kicked the ball making a crazy pass as Isagi failed to intercept the ball and thought, 'He's insane. Kaiser's gonna get the ball.'

The pass benefitted Kaiser who thought, 'Has this little shrimp gone crazy?' Shidou wrestled with Kaiser who thought, 'What the? This brat is so strong!'

Shidou headbutted the ball shouting, "Your goal Rin-Chan!" as it fell to Rin

Rin was face to face with Koji who said, "Your play dies here Rin." Rin looked at Koji not saying a word as he feinted a shot into a robona as the ball curved almost looking like it was off target as it hit the back of the net as Koji thought, 'His curve has increased even more. I'll take that into account for the next time.'

Bastard Munchen (1) : PXG (1) [Itoshi Rin]

The crowd cheers as the announcer shouts, "Itoshi Rin equalises the score."

Rin looks to Koji and says, "I beat you Ayanokoji."

Koji sighs and says, "You haven't beaten me unless you've scored more goals than me."

Rin clicked his tongue in annoyance as Kiyora started with the ball as he passed to Isagi saying, "Let me in on that duo" as the two of them and Kaiser worked together to form a three-way Chemical Reaction.

Isagi X Kaiser X Kiyora

They rushed up the field when Charles showed up behind Isagi saying, "Contrarian here as Karasu showed up in front Isagi made a pass to Kaiser only for Kurona to intercept it saying, "Hey thanks Isagi."

Isagi looked surprised as he thought, 'Kurona? What the? He's even faster than Nishioka now!'

Kurona sped up the field but Zantetsu caught up to him saying, "Between me and you one of us is faster than the other... um... wait no. That's not right."

Kurona laughed and said, "I don't really care if I'm aslower cause I'm way more useful" as he made a pass to the centre.

Koji lined up for it thinking, 'A perfect pass. Not the type of pass I need to get an amazing goal but I won't pass up a goal' as Rin and Shidou pressed him for the ball but Koji jumped up heading the ball into the goal.

Bastard Munchen (2) [Ayanokoji Kiyotaka] : PXG (1)

The crowd cheered as Koji looked bored thinking, 'Damn it I really wanna push myself a bit more. I wanna make a amazing goal from an impossible position and feel good about it.'

The announcer then shouted, "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka secures the lead for Bastard Munchen. I see another hat trick coming from him folks. But will that be enough to defeat PXG?"

Rin looked at Koji and thought, 'That bored expression... He's not satisfied with that goal?'

Rin started with the ball passing to Charles who rushed up when Koji appeared in front of him as he said, "Hello Mr. Contrarian" as he stole the ball rushing up. Rin and Shidou were caught off guard Koji saw Zantetsu, Karasu and Tokimitsu approach him so Koji made a pass as he rushed past them, his movement causing them to become a hindrance to each other as the ball landed at the feet of Ness.

Koji gets into position saying, "You pest."

He was referring to Kaiser who gets up next to him shouting, "Pass the fucking ball to me Ness or you're dead!"

Ness panics a little thinking, 'Should I pass back to Kaiser? I', wanted... no! You're the one who abandoned me! I don't want to stifle my magic for you!'

Rin and Shidou use this to reposition as well and Isagi rushes in from behind. Koji says, "All of you are such fucking pests. Ness! Find your magic!"

As if a fire was lit under him Ness sees the spot he wants to pass to as he says, "Time for a magic show" and he kicks the ball as it flies up overhead as if it's a shot.

Kaiser shouts, "Ness you fucker!" as the ball goes towards the goal.

Koji looks at the ball and as he pulls up his leg as the ball bounces off his foot heading towards Isagi who sees this and thinks, 'What the fuck? He's passing to me?'

Shidou laughs out loud shouting, "You fucking choked Mr Bland"

Rin sees the pass and says, "That's so fucking Lukewarm."

Isagi rushes in as Rin and Shidou divert to stop Isagi when Koji says, "Time to mix in my magic!" as Koji swings his leg back lifting it into the air as he stops it from going to Isagi and then repositions and shifts his weight onto Kaiser.

Kaiser looked enraged shouting, "Ayanokoji you fucker!"

Koji then says, "Watch it you clown rose" as he thinks, 'I've done it. I've entered Flow!' as he bicycle kicks the ball at the goal using an Impact Shot as he rolls off of Kaiser's back and drops to the ground onto his hands and feet as the ball hits the back of the net as Koji gets on his knees celebrating as the crowd goes absolutely ballistic.

Bastard Munchen (3) [Ayanokoji Kiyotaka] : PXG (1)

The announcer goes crazy shouting at the top of his lungs, "He's done it! Ayanokoji has secured his Hat Trick with a goal never seen before in football history! He made some thing impossible into something possible!"

Ness looked at the goal in awe as he thought, 'Our magic mixed to create that goal. I didn't have to stifle my magic to accommodate it. This feeling. It feels so good!'

Kaiser glares daggers at Ness saying, "What the fuck was that? That was impossible!"

Koji wipes the sweat from his face as he looks at Kaiser and says, "There's a difference between us Kaiser. In your mind, you can accomplish the impossible. That's what you think right? But for me it's different. For me, nothing is impossible."
