Iancu falls to the ground, as he stares at the pieces behind himself, and says, "I can't teleport across the machine to block those strikes."
Orb, holding his belly on the floor, says, "Sorry!"
Dumnorix, moving over to him, helps Orb up and says, "No point in apologising. We didn't plan for Pink coming up."
Ikaras falling from the sky says, "I heard you guys said that they completely dominated the field, but I didn't expect this?"
Orb says, "Back during the match with the Marys, the ball didn't make it back towards Žudrė until all members of the team fell back."
Cara says, "That's not possible for us."
"I can fly back here to support everyone."
Dumnorix says, "No chance of that happening. If you fall back, we won't have a strong midfielder. The wall Pia set up is still everywhere across the ground. I simply cannot move as freely as you with all those walls."
Iancu says, "So we just stay here and become overwhelmed. Especially when they're willing to play dirty like that. Orb, if you come face to face with Yellow like you just did, make sure the frostbite reaches their core."
Cara shrinks its body and goes up to Orb, then says, "You did a good job. I know it isn't against the rules, but caring about your opponent's future career is honourable."
Orb smiles and says, "Right!"
Getting up, he turns to Iancu and says, "I think I know a way out of this situation still. But it will require you to put a lot of trust in me."
Iancu says, "What is it?"
Orb everyone huddles close, and Orb says, "Remember our victory conditions are different from theirs, and thanks to Mõõk, we already know our final offence should be strong enough to score us the goals we need. So for now all we have to do is wait and prepare to ensure that has happened, and more than anything it depends on me and Iancu."
Orb continues to talk away, and the Gynjeas siblings gather together. Yellow looking in the back says, "Sister should be full of life even if they managed to make it through. The clearer her mind, the deeper she can feel her anguish and the stronger her shields become."
Blue says, "But shouldn't we be scared of Mõõk's Bewitchment? His normal attacks are already as powerful as Red's in Bewitchments."
Red says, "Are you saying he is stronger than me?"
Green, with a giant grin on his face, says, "We don't need to say anything, we just need to look at the power he strikes that ball with. But don't worry, I am sure your old bones won't break."
Red tries to grab Green, who easily dodges. Then, in a rage, he says, "First, I am only minutes older than you, and second, Mõõk is almost a decade older than me!"
The two continue to fight, and White sighs, then says, "Let's just keep them locked down, there's no point in thinking about that."
Pink with a cherry expression says, "No matter what, I will keep knocking the ball right back over to you, Brother."
Yellow says, "Thank you. Now let's crush them."
A large whistle rings, and the match restarts with Iancu throwing the ball directly towards Orb.
Yellow staring forward says, "So their going to try and dribble it instead of pushing forward. Good luck with that."
Orb runs forward, bouncing the ball in his hands like a basketball, and Red dashes towards them, yet as he moves close, the ball Cara's meteors knock him back.
Red, seeing the meteors land all around Orb, says, "He is avoiding all of them like he can hear them before they land."
Orb moves forward unbothered by the assaults and comes face-to-face with Green. Across Green's back are the four elongated arms covered in hands with his main body behind, small around Dumnorix's height.
He quickly moves forward and meets up, and Orb dribbles the ball trying to move past him, yet is unable to as the constant movements of Green's arms it too much for even Orb's sense to keep up with, and soon the ball is grabbed and thrown towards Yellow, who lies behind Green.
Green, Blue, Pink, Red, and White all dash forward without a care in the world. Cara moves towards Red, Dumnorix to White, Ikaras to Blue, and Orb to Green, with Pink lunging straight into the sky.
Yellow smashes the ball, and it lands on White, who accelerates forward. Dumnorix says, "Passiflora," And lunges forward, trying to use the wind pressure to knock off White.
But as he moves, White changes the size of the arms in his speed form, making the increased mass on one side counteract Dumnorix's forceful changes to his direction, maintaining his speed. Then, as the Dumnorix quickly tries to land from his speed, White catches the ball and shoots it towards the goal, and in that moment, Dumnorix stabs White with his tail.
The ball moves towards the King, and Iancu manages to intercept and repel it towards Orb. Who says, "It's time to go again."
Orb dashes forward, and as Green comes towards him, he jumps up and says, "Red branch battle arts; Sky flower," releasing one kick that sends him flying and another that propels him forward.
His motion quickly declines, and Blue appear mid-air as well. Orb creates a platform of ice on his feet, then kicks off of it towards Blue, who swipes his giant hand towards Orb, who, while maintaining control of the ball with his tail, grabs and swings off of Blue's arm.
Orb bounces the ball between his tail and Blue's arm to keep it in motion. Then dashes forward, hopping to run across Blue's arm. Yet as he doesn't feel the ball touch his tail, he turns and sees that little hands have appeared on Blue's giant arm, which catch the ball away from Orb, and throw it away towards Yellow.
Yellow passes the ball to Red, who smashes it towards a Rook. Yet Iancu manages to get in the way in time, allowing him to repel the ball, but the force of the impact sends shockwaves through his body that send him right down to the floor.
Orb quickly regains the ball and then dashes towards Red's direction. He moves as fast as he can, dribbling the ball with his legs, but as Red appears in front of him, he quickly kicks the ball to his arms and bounces it instead.
Orb tries to confuse Red, but not a single movement he does with the ball gets Red to move an inch, as he just stands there in front of Orb, who quickly lunges towards Red's right side.
Yet the moment Orb does this, Red smashes his foot into the ground, breaking the area on which they both stand and sending Orb of balance, and the ball into the air.
Red quickly crosses the ball towards Yellow, who grabs and smashes it right into a Knight, and the crowd erupts into screams.
Red moving past Orb says, "If that's really the best you've got, then this match is ove-."
His mouth closes, and he stares down at Orb Nemeth himself, and sees the young boy mumbling away as he stares at his hand with focus so sharp that cuts appear in the area around him.
Red stomps away and then says, "What kind of look is that? Does he not understand the situation he is in?" Yet soon Red's eyes cross over towards Iancu, who stares at his gloves in pain, causing a smile to appear on his face.
Moving over to his siblings, Red says, "Let's lay it on thick to them. Right now their spirits are far too high, so let's break them down."
"Right!"
A whistle goes out, and the match resumes with Iancu throwing the ball towards Orb, who rushes towards Dumnorix, and together they lunge forward at high speed at each other.
Green comes towards both of them, but their series of high-speed passes from one to another using the Red branch battle arts completely dominates him, allowing them to easily slip past.
Yet as the ball returns to Orb, White appears behind him and says, "I will be taking that!"
White tries to use his leg to catch the ball from Orb. In response to this, Orb kicks the ball up and uses his tall to bounce it like a basketball to avoid White's presses.
He looks to Dumnorix to pass it, but Yellow and Pink mark him, and at the same time, Blue marks Ikaras in the sky. Orb, trying to keep his speed in line with White, continues to bounce the ball around him.
White soon starts to outpace him as he accelerates even more, so Orb quickly brings his body to a halt, causing White to run ahead. "It's hard to turn with all of that speed, isn't it?"
Orb looks down at his legs, which are slightly strained, and says, "My regeneration can handle that, but for now it's time for Pink."
"It's time for nothing!" Orb hears as he turns around to see Green approaching him at high speed. Right behind Green, he sees Red in a throwing position, and grits his teeth in preparation for the human cannonball.
Green smashes into the floor in front of Orb, then quickly lands. Orb tries to get past him, but Green quickly grabs the ball and steals it from Orb before dashing forward and giving it a kick towards the goal. Cara moves his body towards one side of the monster truck's front, allowing Iancu to know one direction in protected, then in front of his side, he activates his legacy and increases gravity until the ball crashes into the ground.
Smiling, he says, "You're shot might be hard to read, but it is easily the weakest."
Cara grabs the ball and, with a flaming boost, sends it to Orb, who quickly freezes all the flames before turning them into snow and dashes forward towards Pink.
Pink allows Blue to mark Dumnorix and breaks a bit of the ground beneath it as it lands. Pink then strikes the clumps of earth right towards Orb, who dodges them all, then lunges forward to meet Pink in a one v one.
Orb moves the ball between his hands, and his legs, with a combination of dribbling, and bouncing while incorporating his tail to confuse Pink, but as he moves close, Pink redirects it's body mass to increase the length of it leg's then getting on it's hands as if he was breakdancing he swings his whip like legs around forcing Orb on the defensive.
Orb tries to dodge all of the attacks headed towards him, but the patterns of the whip are incredibly hard to keep up with the human eye. Even with his beastkin senses, the speed at which the legs move overtakes him, and soon the ball is whipped over to Yellow.
Dumnorix tries to interrupt Yellow's approach, but White quickly gets in his way, stopping him.
Yellow touches the ball, and the eyes of every single member of the Knightmares in the back go towards the closest member of the Distorted Sky they can mark, and in that moment, their eyes all move away from Yellow, who strikes the ball right into another Rook.
The crowd screams, and the Knightmares all freeze as they look at the state of the game. Orb, crouching down with sweat dripping from his face says, "The core of Helix battle arts, you need to bring it out to win this Orb."
Ikaras says, "Orb, are we still going to go with your plan, because at this rate, they may knock down the King?"
Dumnorix says, "If we don't, we simply won't be able to get me to the front and break through their defence using any other method. With the exception of Orb using Advent to freeze their bodies solid."
Cara says, "But Orb has no intention of maiming these people. So you're going to achieve it right, Orb?"
Standing up, with a shaky fist, Orb says, "Right."
Dumnorix, filled with vigour, says, "Now then, let's get the real match started!"
