Ego: Sloth

Chrono: (Yuga Kanon huh?) {Enters the zone} Not boring

Sae: (Looks like he's about ready to get serious) {Enters the zone} It's time for our comeback now

Both teams got to their respective sides and positions and Chrono stood over the ball ready to restart the game, this time though he seemed to be trembling ever so slightly, Garreth and Yuga shared a look before nodding and focusing their attention on Chrono and Sae. The match started and Sae ran up to Chrono who rolled the ball into Sae's path, The Yufeng defensive midfielder wasted no time going wild, he forced a dribble past Longwei down the Asura left flank with Adam and Hanzo supporting him from a little ways away not to mention now Yuga was focused on marking Chrono so he wouldn't be able to stop him.

Xu Ron pulled back so he could cover Hanzo properly while Garreth was covering Adam making it Pisu Yang versus Itoshi Sae; not so surprisingly both players leaked the burning black aura in excess as they approached one another, Sae performed rapid stepovers as he closed in on Pisu but The Asura defensive midfielder wasn't about to back down and met the challenge directly going in for the slide tackle, Sae switched his position abruptly as he caught the ball between his legs and rainbow flicked the ball managing to jump over Pisu's challenge in the same motion.

Yang wasn't beaten yet though as he stopped himself mid-tackle and used his trailing hand as a pivot he spun and sharply went in for a sweeping tackle from behind. Sae trapped the ball just as Pisu landed his tackle knocking the ball away from them both also resulting in Sae going down; both players got up quickly and raced for the ball that was rolling towards the Asura 18 yards box. Thanks to his superior physical state Yang caught up as Sae got to the ball and the two rammed into each other's sides as they went for the ball.

Just before the collision, Sae lowered his center of gravity and went in at an angle that blocked Yang from the ball allowing him to shield it effectively, Sae struggled for a bit before rolling the ball onto his right foot which he was balancing on, Yang was going to press once Sae trapped the ball but Sae immediately flicked the ball back through Yang's legs supposedly sending it towards Mo Xu. Just before Mo Xu got the ball Chrono ran past him and began his own advance, he had used Mo Xu to shake Yuga's mark and now the only one stopping him from scoring was Li Tantai yet even he wouldn't get a chance to do anything as Chrono sent a through ball right past him in, with the ball went Antonio right past Tantai to be one on one with the keeper yet he hadn't reached the ball yet and Bai Lee had already rushed out to get the ball, now it was a matter of who got there first.

Unfortunately for Team Asura Antonio got to the ball first and chipped the ball just beyond Bai Lee's reach just for Tantai to volley the ball out off the line and out of the left side of the field for Yufeng's throw-in. The game continued for the next 10 minutes with Yufeng keeping most of the possession, though one could note that they had already been pushed back to their side of the field in the face of Asura's high press, even guys like Chrono couldn't find the space to make significant breakthroughs as Yuga always covered those up at the end and they would be stuck with another throw in.

Garreth: {Panting lightly} (Damn it, what the hell is Longwei doing?? it's barely 23 minutes in the first half and he's already slacking, we should be working on another goal not being pinned down by your moping)

Chrono was with the ball dribbling it down the right wing with Luo Ji hot on his tail, as Chrono moved for the cross Luo Ji threw himself in the way, just then Chrono performed a backheel chop to break in and bean dribbling parallel to the 18-yard line, Ai Fei came out to cover the slack but Chrono performed three step overs and cut into the 18-yard box past Ai fie's trailing leg leaving him alone with the keeper, once more Yuga was there to block off the shot but Chrono placed a powerful through ball towards the penalty spot and Adam was there to take it, Bai Lee was going to make it as he was simply off of his line so Tantai caught up with and tripped Adam in the 18-yard box.

Adam dodged the challenge giving Bai Lee enough time to return to his line, when Adam took the shot Bai Lee dove and sent it off of the right post and towards Garreth, Antonio was marking him so Garreth improvised, he faked a kick with his left leg and crossed over the ball, he controlled the ball on the heel of his right leg before flicking it ever so slightly so he could balance on the right leg and send a left-footed through ball for Yuga in the opposite direction. Yuga gladly picked the through ball up and made his way upfield through a surprisingly open path in the middle, Yuga sent a cross upfield towards the18 yard box where Longwei stood with a shaken-up look on his face, the cross hit his chest but he failed to control and only noticed he had the ball after being knocked off balance before he could even attempt to recover the ball Riccardo intercepted the ball and played it off to John. Yuga and Garreth tried to initiate a high press but were too late, John set himself up and sent a cross-upfield to Chrono who stood at the right-most edge of the Asura box, despite Longwei's mistake however Tantai was already on Chrono trying to outmuscle him to get to the ball.

Chrono: (This one is fairly strong, as expected of a captain) {Relaxes stance with an indifferent expression} (That being said football is about far more than you can bench}

Tantai leaned in too far when Chrono relaxed his stance and ended up losing balance and falling on Chrono, As this happened though Chrono, made a sharp step back and took two wide steps to get around Tantai and Trap the ball on his thigh. As the ball was about to land between Chrono's legs Tantai tackled mid-fall and kicked the ball away from Chrono, it wasn't too inconvenient but it brought a frown to Chrono's face as he ran to control the ball once more. Once Chrono got to the ball both Pisu and Ai Fei were ready to stop him, Pisu being between Chrono and the goal and Ai Fei running alongside Chrono to stop him from cutting inside further. Pisu held his position momentarily and Chrono began to perform rapid stepovers, Ai Fei tried to knock the ball with seemingly perfect timing just for Chrono to backheel cut the ball to the inside of the box.

Pisu went in for the sliding challenge just for Chrono to perform an elastico the ball back out bringing him to the goal line with him now one on one with Bai Lee who hovered beside the Right post, Chrono smirked and performed a rabona to cross the ball into the 6-yard box just past Bai Lee. Sae dove at an odd angle that allowed him to catch the cross with a scorpion kick, the ball tore against the Asura goal as Sae landed and rolled to a stop before going off to celebrate this goal.

Yuga: {Stares at Longwei momentarily and walks back to position} (It seems using it in short bursts won't be enough anymore, our left side is as good as dead now)

Yeongha: (By the time This half is over the Longwei brat better have gotten his shit together) {Looks at time} (this game has already been on for 26 minutes so time isn't exactly on his side)

Longwei stood over the ball with a defeated look on his face as he sent a weak pass back to Gareth, without a single second wasted a shadow-like aura shot between Yuga and Longwei shooting the ball full strength, By the time Yuga realized what was going on, Chrono's shot was flying towards the top left corner and Bai Lee only barely sent it over for a corner, that allowed Yuga to release a breath he wasn't even aware he was holding before turning his gaze to Longwei wearing a look of pure fury. It was already bad enough that he started this match off trying to Exclude Yuga from the attack, but when Yuga scored he suddenly lost the ability to contribute anything to the team, and now he almost gave a goal away unnecessarily.

Yuga: {Eyes go white} (This arrogant shit!!) {bright red pupils form in his eyes} I don't know what the hell is going on with you, but congratulations you can sit this match out now, I'm taking over the attack you useless fuck {Starts tracking back}

Garreth simply looked at Longwei with annoyance and started to track back, frankly, there wasn't a single person on team Asura that wasn't pissed off, and of them, all Bai Lee was the angriest, but they also recognized that this wasn't the time nor the place to settle it with Longwei, that being said nothing was stopping them from taking their anger out on Yufeng's team, within the scope of the rules of course.

Chrono: (This certainly isn't good) Hey Sae, I think I might have pissed them off

Sae: Inconsequential, we're winning this match regardless of their emotional state

Chrono: {Sweats nervously} Can't say I agree with you there captain

Sae: What are yo- {Looks around Team Asura}

He didn't realize it before but now that he did even he was worried, besides Longwei being the cause of this phenomenon every single outfield player on Team Asura had tapped into the zone and the black miasma was so thick those who could sense it were trembling from the pressure it provided, Team Asura was shifting gears.

Yeongha: {Smirks} (The perfect formation indeed)
