Both teams were sweating as the crowd chanted player names. The third set was tied at 10 to 10 between Mason County High School.
"We catch back up with the insane head to head match between Mason County and LakeWood Technical, Both teams are giving it everything they have. But that might not last much longer is Eric from Mason County is up to serve again"
Eric tosses the ball and sends it fast over the net. Ajax diving over as the ball bends on his arms. Flying into the rafters and into the stands. MCHS 11-10 LWTHS. Kurai grits his teeth.
"Good try Ajax, give it another go" Ajax nods and relaxes his body. Taking a step back signaling he was defending the back of the court. His eyes glow as he focuses solely on the game. Eric tossed the ball and floated it in front of the net. Kaneko reaches for it but Ajax appears under it and saves it.
"HAAAA!!" Kaneko smirks and jumps back. Nodding beside Lucas as they both run forward. Dougal runs up and jumps on the left side of the court. Lucas and Kaneko jumping in an X patern seemingly swapping places midair. Derek quickly glances around as the ball appears behind him.
"Wha-" The ball bounces as Derek locks eyes with Kaneko and Kurai who just pulled a quick out of nowhere. 'He took notice of Lucas and his brothers teamwork and took advantage. Dougal running up and jumping only confused us more so he took the chance for a quick attack! Kurai really is an overarching presence on the court' Derek looks at Eric who sighs.
"Kurai's possesion and strategic thinking helped him take the first and third sets. He's not just manipulating the team, but he has his hand over the whole court" There was an awkward silence as Kurai prepared to serve.
"No wonder he's gained the nickname 'Emperor of the Court'" The score bumps up.
"What an insane play by LakeWood Tech!!" The other announcer shouts.
"Even I couldn't comprehend what just happened, non the less what the Blockers for Mason County were thinking!" The first guy nods.
"The score is once again tied at 11-11"
"And the worst thing is that LakeWood Technical Setter, #2, Kurai Vlast' is now up to serve once again"
Kurai takes a deep breath as memories flashed through his mind. His Dad standing on the court slamming the ball on the other side of the net like he does now. Kurai closed his eyes and said thanks.
"Thanks for everything, Dad" Kaneko turns around feeling a strange calmness even at the climax of such a match.
"This serve is for you," Kaneko shouts at Kurai.
"Kurai, Good serve!" Kurai's face tugs a bit as he smiles calmly. Tossing the ball high into the air with a calm exhale. Jolting forward with speed and elegance as he jumps high into the air. Kaneko and their Mom's eyes widen as they see Aki Vlast' within Kurai. Their Mom smiles calmly as The ball appears on the other side of the court with a loud echo. Kurai was strengthened with renewed determination as he landed with a smile. Clenching his fist.
"YEAH!!!" The crowd goes crazy as Kaneko hugs Kurai.
"Welcome back, Kurai" Kurai breaks the hug and steps back. Catching the ball for his second serve.
"Good serve" Kurai tosses the ball as it appears over the net. Eric jumps forward and gets under the ball but it bounces out of bounds. Kurai running forward and high fiving Lucas with a large smirk.
"Even this late in the Game, Kurai's serves are nearly unstoppable!"
"Definently! But Mason County isn't one to give up that easy"
"The score is currently at 11-13, LakeWood Technical is in the lead"
