Wanda: What now, Captain?
Kaiji: Of course, we'll win this match no matter what. *turn to Kaiou* Men, show them the spirit Kaoiu! We'll sink right in the ocean!
Kaiou's Players: Yeah!!
Kidou look at the Kaiou's team and then look at the Raimon. Raimon went back to their position to ready to resume the game.
Kidou(In mind): Kaiou should be a team with unstanding offensive, so why didn't they attack from the start? Also, why they put Dan as forward by himself?
The referee blow the whistle and Kaiou start the kick-off and head toward Raimon's territory.
"With the kick-off from Kaiou, the match continues. Dan and Wanda head on with two more midfielder following them!"
Kaiji: Wanda!
He pass the ball to Wanda.

Then Kaiji look at Higashi that in his position, ready to catch the ball when he make a shoot.
Kaiji: Show what you have, Raimon team's captain! Sai!
Higashi: What?
"Oh! While the defenders are focusing too much Kaiou's captain, they leave Sai free! This is a chance for Kaiou to score!"
Tasuke: Crap, I don't see him!
Gento: Captain!
Sai: Here I go!
The ball stop in front of him as he run toward it with water waving around him. Then he jump and use his right knee to kick the ball as bunch of flying fish appear.

Higashi(In mind): Kaminari... You still hate soccer?
Everyone went to their position as the Raimon will start the kick-off.
"Now, it's Raimon's ball. The score is 1-1, a tie. Which between these team will win? Will it be Raimon, or Kaiou? Make sure you don't look away from this match!"
Yuuya: Homura, remember, we can't act reckless on this one.
Homura: Senpai, you're the one who act recklessly back then.
Yuuya: Yes, and I make that mistake. Remember, don't let them have the ball, Kidou Kantoku told us that there's Keshin user in Kaiou.
Homura: That would be a trouble.
Yuuya: Give me the ball the when we near the defense area. Just let me handle at this point.
Homura: Eh?
Yuuya: Just trust me, I got this. Trust me as your teammate, not as your senior.
Homura: Fine...
The referee blow the whistle and the Raimon start the kick-off. Homura dribble the ball toward Kaiou's area while Yuuya follow her from behind.

Garu smirked.
Yuuya: Take this!
He stump the ball, causing it to spin up and covered with light green-white energy.

Kaiji: Garu!
Garu: Yeah!
He throw the ball really hard toward Kaiji and he receive the ball, and quickly went toward Raimon's area.
Homura: He's too fast!
Kaiji ran quickly pass through Suiryuu and Ren before they can anything. They can't even keep up with them.
Higashi: Strengthen the defense!
Shin/Shun: Okay!
They rush toward Kaiji and both of them slide but Kaiji do a back pass at Wanda. Gento and Tasuke tried to steal the ball but they can't even touch the ball.
"Dan pass back to Wanda! This is good teamwork, they getting closer to Raimon's goal!"

He shout as a purple and dark blue aura come out from his back and merge into humanoid form. It wearing blue ocean based armor, holding a trident and light blue skin.
Kaiji: Kaiou Poseidon!
Higashi: What?! A Keshin?!
"Keshin! It's a Keshin! Dan has summon his Keshin!"

(Raimon) 1 - 2 (Kaiou)
Poseidon disappear as Higashi stand on his right knee until Kaiji get close to him makimg he look up.
Kaiji: Sorry, but we Kaiou can't afford to lose to Raimon. We'll win this match.
Then he turn his back and walk away back to Kaiou's side. Higashi punch the ground because he angry of himself.
Higashi(In mind): Damn it! If I give the correct decision, we might be able to block that shoot without me! This isn't how a captain should be! So why would Coach
His team can see how frustrated their current captain is. Some really do wanted to comfort him but some do agree that Higashi shouldn't become the captain.
"With only few minutes left in the first half, Kaiou is leading with one-point difference. Can Raimon catch up from this moment?"
Gento: Coach, are this okay? We'll lose if this keep up.
Kidou: This just fine.
Gento: Coach!
Kidou: That's all. Just play like you always do.
Gento(In mind): Is this really okay? What is Coach thinking anyway?!
The managers are quite worry about the team. Higashi looks like he lose his courage and Gento doesn't seem to be consoling him, and Shinji do agree with that.
Shinji: I knew it, we shouldn't have him as the captain.
Gento: So, you think you can become the captain?
Shinji: That's not it. What I mean, we need a captain that can lead us. He's not much good to be captain, but why Coach would choose him? What kind of reason is this for?
Gento: Don't ask me. I won't know what reason it was.
Shinji: It's not that I'm asking you.
Gento: *glare* What?
Asuka saw that Gento and Shinji seems to be argueing. Asuka turn to Kidou.
Asuka: Coach, is this really okay?
Kidou: They'll play just fine. Only few kinds of mistake won't effecting our team.
Asuka: But if this keep up...!
Kidou(In mind): This isn't the right time. When Raimon really need help the most, then he will come out.
"The game resume with Raimon's kick-off. Can they score a goal to tie the points again, or Kaiou will be able to stay and win?!"
Homura(In mind): We can't lose another point. If we do, we don't have chances of winning!
Yuuya(In mind): The next point might be the end of the match. Even if we able to hold on in this first-half, can we score in the second-half?
The referee blow the whistle and the game resume. Homura do a back pass and Ren got the ball.
"Oh! Gouenji do a back pass and Kazemaru obtain the ball! This might be a chance!"
Ren(In mind): *dribbling* Even if this an exhibition match, we can't afford to lose! This won't be place where we lose!
Sai: I won't let you!
Ren: Shippu Dash!
He run in high speed, dodging Sai from stealing the ball. But Wanda suddenly appear and do a slide, stealing the ball from him.
Ren: No way!
Wanda: Too easy!
"Wanda steal the ball easily from Kazemaru, and head right toward Raimon's territory! Kaiou attacks like raging wave!"
Shin and Shun tried to stop him but he easily dodge them while Enji and Gento are covering the Kaiou players so he can't pass to any of them.
Wanda: This kinda of defense won't work on us!
Higashi: You guys, Sai is free!
Shun: What?!
Wanda: It's too late for that!
He jump up and pass it Sai who is free.
Higashi: I won't let you!
But instead of Sai score it, it was a feint. The ball went toward Kaiji. He use strong heading and score another goal.
"Another goal!! Kaiou just score another goal! Now it's two-point difference! Raimon is now in a big pinch!"
(Raimon) 1 - 3 (Kaiou)
Homura fall to her knees, Yuuya grit his teeth and Ren clench his fists.
Shin: No way...
Homura: Even after I score the first goal... Why are we keep losing points...?
Yuuya: Damn it!
Higashi(In mind): *clench his fist* It's my fault... If I give an order to everyone, this is won't be happening! I can't give at least one order! This is all my fault!!
"Raimon is in a big pinch. With two-point difference, it's going to be hard for them to catch up in this situation! How will they catch up with Kaiou?!"
Then the referee blow the whistle for the end of first-half.
"That's it for the first half! Kaiou in the lead with 1-3, will Raimon able to take the lead in the second-half? Make sure you don't miss it!"
(Stands)
Nami is looking at the match with a bit of feeling down, because the team from his brother's school is losing.
Nami: Raimon is losing...
(Field)
The players from both team went to their section to have few minutes break. Raimon is in the worse condition because they'll losing with two-point difference.
Namikawa: You guys did well.
Kaiji: Thank you, Coach.
Wanda: When that girl score a goal, we think it'll be hard. But it was to easy.
Namikawa: Don't let your guard down, Wanda. You might don't have your brother's Keshin, but that doesn't mean you can underestimated their play.
Wanda: Okay, okay.
Namikawa(In mind): It's look like our victory has been set. But... *turn to Kidou* why isn't he feel anything?
Asuka is giving the team their drinks but they barely have courage to play.
Kidou: *smirk* The time has come.
Asuka: Huh?
Kidou: We're switching player. Kazemaru, you're on the bench, Minamisawa will take your position.
Asuka: Eh?!
Ren: W-Wait, Coach! But we don't have any substitute players!
Kidou: No, we have one.
He turn to the hallway. While looking at the hallway, they heard footsteps. A person slowly reveal as he walk out, and he does suprise the whole team when they saw him.
Higashi: No way!!
Yuuya: Why now?!
Kaiji: What?
The person is Kaminari. He's wearing Raimon jersey with the number 10 at the back of the jersey as he walk toward Raimon area and look at Kidou.
Kaminari: Geez, you do get some nerves to make me play, Kidou-san.
Kidou: Well, if you didn't play it will put your naturel talent at waste.
Then Yuuya and Higashi went to them.
Kidou: Minamisawa will change position into midfielder. Kaminari will take his place as a forward. Also, Hazama.
Higashi: Y-Yes?
Kidou: You said that you don't deserve to be the captain, right? You can give away your position as captain to Kaminari.
Yuuya: W-Wait, Coach! Why all the sudden?
Higashi: Okay.
Yuuya: Higashi!
Higashi: It's fine. I never wanted to become a captain, anyway.
He take out the band from his left arm and give it Kaminari. He take it and place it and his left arm.
Kaminari: *sigh* Well, it already happened so it can't be helped.
(Flashback)
Yesterday, Kidou went to met Kaminari at the field near the riverbank.
Kaminari: You want me to play in the exhibition match?
Kidou: That's right.
Kaminari: Kidou-san, you know that I don't want to play soccer anymore.
Kidou: Then why you keep praticing in secret?
Kaminari: Th-That's...
Kidou: I'll register your name to the soccer club. Make sure you come tomorrow to the match. *walk away* I'll be waiting for you.
Kaminari look at Kidou before look at the soccer ball he's holding.
(Flashback End)
Kaminari: Remember, I only play this once.
Kidou: That's fine.
After the break, Raimon and Kaiou change places at the field. Raimon went into a new position with Kaminari as the new forward.
"Now the break is over, it's time for the second half. Oh, Raimon has change their player? What is this? Minamisawa is the midfielder while Kazemaru was benched, and the new forward is... Endou Kaminari!"
Kaiji: Endou Kaminari...? So, he's Endou Mamoru's son, huh?
Kaminari: *glance at Homura* When the whistle blown, give me the ball.
Homura: Senpai, do you even have plans?
Kaminari: Just believe in me.
Homura: Fine, only because it was Coach's orders.
Referee blow the whistle.
