(Part 5)
"It was a good meeting…" whispered Kazuna. All the high schoolers soon surrounded them from different sides. Some with balls and others with bats. "What are they doing?" asked Heber restless. "Tch! Final attack. It's either their win or ours." Kenzo closed the circle.
"All of you, be ready." cautioned Cassiel. "Well you little freaks. It was a nice meeting… however, right now it's way too early for you to step outside in front of the world. So before you do that. For the time being…" stated Ren. "Just Sleep!" ended Senri.
Suddenly the ten of them aiming their balls up, launched them over the boys one by one hitting them slightly harder than the ones before. "Ouch! It hurts!" cried Adam while Seraph guarded him. "Those Jerks!!" gritted Kenzo trying to attack them back however failing. "Unbelievable strength… we stand no chance." Xavier protected Feng.
"I won't forgive them if they hurt either Poseidon, Ezekiel or anyone else here." Helios stated while he himself got hurt endlessly by the flying balls. "Looks like it's the end..." Whispered Kazuna as all of them standing on the audience seat stopped balling.
And, as soon as the harsh gale vanished from the stadium below. Many of the boys were lying on the field while only, Helios, Xavier, Seraph, Gabriel and Kenzo were to be seen kneeling on their knees hanging over their bats panting hard. "Hey~ to think they would still have that energy?" Ren grinned amazed. "Looks like we really did underestimate them." Snickered Orion.
"How about we give them one more round?" Noah added merciless. "No, if we do that I'm afraid we will hurt them." warned Nagi. "And just like Rauf said we don't want them to break with the impact. Only this much is fine." he continued. "Tch! A way to destroy the fun." Aigou murmered depressed.
"Let's go… playtime's over." Kazuna walked away. However, suddenly a heavy ball flew past his ear. "Huff, Huff, huff! Critical Yorker… Slashing Knot…" whispered Xavier. "To think I would use that? After hurting my friend's right before my eyes… where do you think you are going?" he asked dangerously, his eyes burning red.
"Injuring my comrades and now leaving? Whose playtime's over?" Helios eyed them with his purple burning gaze. "You did a nice job, warming this king up. Now… its payback time you peasants!" Kenzo glared. Turning around, he glanced at Heber, "Keep an eye on them. I'll cover for you."
Heber nodding helped Cassiel. "Don't worry… I've got a lot of data on my hands." he whispered panting hard. "Well that's good because, I am feeling super angry." raged Ryan twirling his ball. "Really… I never expected I would have to play like that." Seraph uttered, his expression blackened. Gently, keeping Adam's figure on the ground who had fainted, injured he stood up frustrated, taking his aim. "You hurt someone none would dare to even think of even touching. There's no way in hell am I forgiving you!" he gritted vexed.
"Looks like it's not the end hun?" asked Senri walking back towards the boys. "That shot was great from before. Who threw that?" asked Kazuna intrigued. "It was me, want me to show it to you again?" Xavier responded gravely yet with a confident smile. "Seraph, Ryan, Helios, Gabriel and Xavier. Throw your best deliveries now!" instructed Kenzo as the five of them from five different sides flung their balls in sync. "Critical Pace… slashing Knot." whispered Xavier as his ball flung towards Kazuna. "Helios Out swinger… Sun's surge." called Helios aiming in towards Senri.
"Asura of 1000 demons, Dark blizzard!" Gabriel swung his arm in Aigou's direction. "Eternal Bliss… Off cutter" whispered Seraph launching towards Ren. "Prince's strike Pinnacle leg spinner." called Ryan aiming towards Isa. "Hmph? Finally serious?" Isa asked entertained. "However, too bad… it's too late." Ren swung his bat, aiming for the ball. After throwing the ball, Ryan, Seraph, Helios grabbed their bats to defend for returns.
"It's a good delivery however, not worthy in my eyes." whispered Kazuna as Noah hit the ball back twice the force from which Xavier threw. "Shut up! The outcome hasn't been decided yet!" angered Kenzo standing before the middleschoolers with his bat. "Hun? It has'nt?" Zach taunted. "Well now, it has." he added. Soon, the delivered five balls were returned at the boys standing in between the stadium effortlessly.
"Impossible! They returned all of them back?" asked Seraph baffled. "Moreover, the force they are approaching with is out of our control of return." warned Cassiel. "What do we do now?" asked Adam standing up dizzily to return the balls. "Nothing. We defend!" Helios told sitting before Poseidon and Ezekiel who breathed heavily.
"Tch!" Kenzo clicked his tongue frustrated while Xavier nodded aiming his bat. Ryan looked at them tired. Suddenly the balls slammed on the stadium ground creating a harsh gale as everything surrounding them went into the eyes of the wind.
"So it's over now?" asked Orion gazing from the top. "Yes, let's go back. I am already very tired." yawned Senri. "A good fight. I wonder if they wouldn't have been tired how would their response have been?" Elias wondered. "Hm… makes me wonder as well. A child returning the same ball as Kazuna back. How interesting~" smiled Isa.
Soon the ten of them walked away. "Cough! Cough!" the boys laying on the ground coughed panted hard. "My hand won't stop trembling…" whispered Adam strength less. "Just who were they? They were really scary." he asked frightened.
"Don't worry Adam it will be fi…" smiled Seraph patting his head suddenly fainting. "Hey! Seraph? What happened? Hey?" Adam shook him up in terror. Xavier gaining his vision turned around to trace Feng and Ryan who winced in pain. "Hey! Poseidon what's wrong?" asked Helios worriedly as Poseidon coughed unstopping.
"Is it another asthma attack?" Cassiel patted his back. "I- I don't know, let's take him to the infirmary…" Helios picked him up however, instantly fell. His sight becoming dark. "It's no use we don't have the energy… my eyes won't keep up with me…" spoke Gabriel soon lying on the ground as well.
Kenzo panted hard. "Ah… I hate this day, to think I would face such humiliation in one single day…" he whispered one last time before his voice faded. "Are you alright Ryan?" Xavier picked up Feng who too laid unconscious. "Vice-captain Xavier… I am sorry." Ryan apologized. "What's there to apologize, I think I might've also used too much of my energy this time…" he whispered patting his head soon falling sleep beside him.
And, one by one, covered with fatigue, the thirteen boys winced and fainted on the ground injured and restless. "I won't forgive them…" whispered Xavier gazing at the empty sky with his eyes finally giving in. And, amid the vast illuminated stadium thirteen figures laid like scattered petals of roses surrounded by mercilessly thrown balls and bats.
