[Ladies and gentlemen and all others...]
[YEAAAAH!!]
[A round of applause for the sniper who just did the people a favor! Look at the disbelief on this guy's face, everyone's eating the floor today! This is the end of the 2nd quarter but my god I could kill to see what will happen during the break, stay focused for the "lick your neighbor's armpit" cam, and FYI, yes that was a request from an anonymous viewer and friend for his crush.]
The public makes more noise than ever.
[Good luck Seymour. Seymour Chester Pog that is.]
[Fuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu!!!!]
Meanwhile, the detective looked with incomprehension at his assistant who was staring at him darkly.
[A... Assistant...]
[QUIET! You are going out now! I'm sick of being ridiculed because of you.]
[ What are you saying? Have you forgotten why we are here?]
[No, I remember. It's because YOU decided to play your little game here today and because YOU decided to accuse him without enough evidence and because YOU brought me into the field AND YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE BEING HUMILIATED NOW!]
The others surrounded them, the captain trying to calm things down but everyone could only agree.
[She's right, you annoy everyone and you don't even do anything. Why are you even playing?]
[Ca-Calm down guys... Mr. Luc, I don't know what you got against lil bro but... maybe leave it till the end of the game?]
[Urgh...]
[Or until forever...]
The detective on his knees and confused looked at the ground, it was the first time that the assistant turned against him. The two had teamed up for as long as he could remember and they had had some rich moments like when the MC was stopped with a sword or less which motivated the young girl to keep her distance when he proceeded with the unmasking an MC. Yet today, this agreement had been broken, the girl was really angry. The assistant turned to the "MC'.
[As long as I'm here, I promise you nothing will happen to you today, every cell in my body is just focused on destroying Silver Space. Pay no mind to this guy here.]
[But what about tomorrow.]
[I promise you nothing will happen to you today.]
[Tomorrow?]
[Today.]
[...]
The pink hair girl interfered.
[Okay, leave my friend now and focus on YOUR boy. He's a replaceable asset, so let's take anyone from the replacements.]
(Another anonymous voice among the substitutes.)
[And being the weakest link in the team? Surely not.]
[Like we're going to suffer for yourselves and you're just going to watch, move your lazy asses, dirty pieces of bacon!]
[Why always a pork slur??]
[Calm down Fat Joe, she's also talking to us...]
She turned to the coach.
[Hey you instead of scratching your chin like you're thinking about something important choose a player!]
[Eeeeeeh my family isn't an important thing?]
[They made you so NO they are a nuisance!]
[... Since that's how it is, you manage!]
The tension was at its height. The detective was sitting alone in a corner, the assistant had her back to him, the "MC' was being re-motivated by the captain and the substitutes were trembling at the sight of the girl who emptied her reservoir of insults on the coach who had tears in his eyes. In this chaos, a young man emerged from the replacements. A young man with light tan skin, dark curly hair, slightly shorter than the Captain. She reacted when she saw him.
[Julian? NO! What are you doing??]
[Cithara, I'm sorry but I have to disappoint you.]
[No, we dominated them, we can do it without you so wait! You promised me!]
[What kind of man would accept a promise that would hurt his loved ones? Let me participate too, it's a great day today isn't it.? Either way, it's the coach's choice, isn't it? Coach?]
[.... Jeust leafe me alone! *sniff* Do what you want and let me die!]
[That's what he said, the choice of the coach is a priority, isn't it? You taught me that, didn't you?]
[But... I...]
[It will be alright, I won't overdo it.]
The players were all returning to the field, the detective was sitting among the substitutes. The 3rd quarter was about to begin.
[[Ladies and gentlemen and all the armpit lickers, good divorce to you madmen, good hospital stays to the others, special mention to you Seymour from Michton Street in New Phoenix City, you lost before you could do anything but we are going to live this MATCH for you. This beer is yours brother, *GLU-GLU* Aaah And now dogs, the Fiesta is about to resume! In this corner, undefeated in 13 matchs, with an average of 100 points per game and current city champeeeeeen, SIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER SPACE! And, in this corner, wearing the Vindigo blue jersey, with an average of 112 pounds per player with only one person increasing this average to 180 pounds, after a complete restructuring of their workforce, the contender, COCOOOOOOOOOOOONUT.....DREEEEEEEAAAAAAAMUUUUUUUUU! Everybody, grab your beer, grab your children and let's get ready to RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]]
The audience roared. The referee threw the ball and both teams jumped into this apocalypse. Kate Lebas in possession of the ball easily dribbled past the assistant, he was about to pass the "MC" when the ball escaped his hands, it was Julian who had pushed the ball from the moment Kate had slowed down. The ball bounced in the arms of the pink girl who sent it back to her friend.
[Make good use of it, teehee~]
He then threw it to the captain and suddenly felt a blizzard behind him. The captain ran down the left side of the racket but suddenly dropped the ball, but that wasn't a mistake, the ball landed in Julian's hands who exceptionally leaped and dunked. The substitutes were screaming with joy, hope was back.
70-46
The team had incredible chemistry. Silver Space players were once again blocked by Pinky's Wall of Rage.
[Urgh That again...]
[For you it's just for a match but for me it's my daily life..]
He again threw the ball he had just received to the assistant who threw it, made a monologue, took a dominating pose and scored a 3 point.
[Know your place, twash.]
70-54
In the opposing camp, the new captain Cithara-Julian duo gave bad time to the opponents. Festival of dribbling, passing, sliding, reversals of opposing players, the two offered a quality menu for connoisseurs and tears for opponents.
70-61
[You know what it's like to be humiliated, why do you do this to others then???]
[You're already winning, stop adding those ninja dribbles!]
70-69
One of them took a ankle-breaker.
[You, YOUR MOM!]
The public once again switched sides and encouraged the Coconut Dreams.
[Come on you got this!]
[Only one more, you can do it!]
[Laaagies and geeeentles, Have you noticed how they take turns in domination? Like...Like... Run away from me I follow you, follow me I follow... Or Iz this Wait for me Deehee~? AAAnyway only one more point before equalizing and aaz contradictoring as it seemz if they end up in a draft I... I... I dunno what will happn fuhihihiii...]
The coach sitting next to the detective decided for some reason to make a speech to illustrate the situation.
[I think I had enough... Please leave me some time.]
[Hum? But I haven't even started do you read people's mind??? She is not my girlfriend! I was kidding to myself!]
[*sight* Please go ahead.]
[Humph! Well, here ! Er As you can see from the moment you left this team, it's like their power has suddenly increased. The truth is, sometimes you want to do good, which is better for everyone. But sometimes to do good to a person you have to do him harm and so the one who wants to do good to the world will be seen as the big bad guy in the story. As someone who doesn't pay attention to the game I'm more aware of the dangers of an MC, but look at the people around you. Look at the audience, the players, even your assistant. Everyone lives in the present moment, do you think anyone would want to stop this very moment for their own good? Have you ever had such wonderful moments that you're willing to carry the weight of the world just to see it through to the end? It's the magic of the moment. I don't know you but don't you feel happy seeing your assistant so energetic? Look likes she never had a lot of fun with her friends, or just friends in general.]
[I've never seen it like this.... For me, I was protecting the world but.. today, I'm the only problem...]
Suddenly his eyes widened and he smiled sadly.
[Actually... It's true that it was me who transformed this team in the end... I acted like an MC. I was really an idiot this whole time...]
(Back on the field.)
[Eghyeeee... Wee are back here and for some shady reasons the score hazn't changed yet.... Silver Space small forward... power forward... and zenter forward egheh..... Are lining up like the great wall of China... Which iz weird because I don't think that there are countries in our town so how do I know China hihihi?... Oh?..... The pink girl is also in front Looks like they're goin' to try to destabilize the opposing defense by scaring them... It's worse, the Silver's Center iz afraid and jumpy, he blocks the throw of snipe woman by shaking.... She'z cursing someone's mom... Zorry to every mommiezzz, Diz not your fault.... Only one point and a few moments before the end of the quarter! It would be such a shame... If something prevented them from doing it..... Guehehe.... Who know?]
Julian, who was breathing more and more heavily, recovered the ball, less than 7 seconds before the end of the quarter.
[Aaah.. Aah So.... close... Ngh!!!]
He then rushed, dribbling two players then facing the defensive wall...
[You're not Dat guy... Waiiiit iz he....???]
In front of the three-point line, He jumped. The public holds their breath, the others on the ground do not believe their eyes. Julian seemed to be running through the air. The opponents in front of the ring came out to intercept him but all came down without being able to touch him. He kept going up and forward, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, the distance between Julian and the ring narrowed.
[My Gawd...]
His right hand rested on the ring as the ball crossed the net.
70-71
The stadium exploded, the substitutes hugged each other crying, as the end of the 3rd quarter was announced, the players ran to Julian, but the hero did not respond to his people.
[...!! Julian?!]
In silence, Julian collapsed on the floor.
