I started regaining consciousness. The first thing I see when I wake up is fog, stone and dirt. "What the heck...?" I muttered, about to stand up but I couldn't. I looked behind me, and it turns out I was bound by chains. OK, this is starting to get weird... what was I doing before I got here anyway? OK, lemme remember this... first Rika and Touko came... then Natsumi and Kouji saying something about a legend... Fideo and others came... Realization hit me in an instant. I looked at my attire, which was somewhat like a magenta dress with some white designs on it. Long, black sleeves with yellow ends at my arms, along with long, pure black stockings (or socks), and a giant (well, not really giant, just large) purple, ribbon tied at my waist. I remembered what Kouji said about the legend earlier: One chosen for heaven is a bride, one chosen for hell is a sacrifice. Oh crap... I'm gonna be sacrificed to something as monstrous as a youkai! A FREAKING DEMON!!!
I tried getting out of the chains but there was no use. Man these people are old. Couldn't they just tie me with a rope? Despite the fog, I could make out some silhouettes... I only saw Matthew's, Kidou's, and my brother's. "Jirou!" I shouted, struggling to get out of the chains in the process. "Get me out of here!" I shouted again, panic visible in my voice.
"I'm coming there right now!" I saw Jirou's silhouette moves forward, then a menacing voice was echoing. "Those who dare interfere with the ritual..." A strong gust of wind removes the fog that was blocking my sight. I saw Jirou, Kidou, Akio, Matthew, Mark, Dylan, Teres, Jousuke, Tobitaka, Toramaru, and Tachimukai. "Will suffer terror and ruin on the name of the demon lord." The menacing voice echoes again. Due to panic, I didn't notice that two people were at my side. One of them was a female who had dark green hair and was wearing the same clothes that the person (who was obviously the guy next to me) wore when he kidnapped me. "The likes of you humans coming here is quite a feat." The boy says in a mocking tone.
"Who are you badly dressed weirdos?!" Jirou asks furiously.
"I'm the warrior of Hell, Desuta." He smirks at them. "And the rest of us are the team, Hell Army Z!"
"Give me back my sister!" Jirou shouts at them.
"Not so fast now." Desuta gives off a dark laugh. "She's going to be our precious sacrifice."
"N-Nani?!" Jirou stares at me, panic and rage mixed within his voice.
"The demon lord who was sealed in the depths of the earth eat the soul of a maiden chosen by the key to the legend." The girl next to me had started talking. I felt my chin was grabbed roughly by Desuta. His dark eyes literally spread fear in me. I was so close to tears I couldn't even blink them away. "When our master, the demon lord, is resurrected, the world will be engulfed by flames and all of civilization will be destroyed. And this millennium, the demon lord and Hell Army Z will have control over the land with our evil!" Desuta laughs darkly.
"You'll become the precious sacrifice to revive the demon lord." Desuta lets go of my chin, making the girl next to me grab me by the arm, forcing me to look at her. "Doesn't that make you happy~?" She asks, smirking at me.
"Don't you touch her!" I heard Jirou shout again, and the two look at him irritated faces, the girl letting go of my arm. "I don't care about this, or you people! If anyone tries to hurt my sister, I will show no mercy!"
"Looks like these humans have some fight in them." The female mocks them.
"She's our sacrifice, humans. Do you really think we'd hand her over to you low lives?" Desuta mocks them as well.
"Then we'll get her back by force, you filthy hell-beasts!" I have never seen Jirou this mad before...
"Your choice then." The female grabs me by the arm again, and this time, I resist. She gives an annoyed look at me. "You're coming with me whether you like it or not, human." She grits her teeth. Again, I resist, tears falling out of my eyes. I was shaking at this point, and I couldn't move no matter what.
"So the humans will challenge the warriors of hell?"
We saw an old man there, standing below a foggy soccer field. "Those who wish to challenge the warriors of hell must uphold the ancient laws." The old man said. On cue, the fog cleared up, and a soccer field was revealed. I gulped. Please Jirou, please win this! I don't wanna die yet! I still have a life to live! I still haven't been able to thank everyone for helping me!
"Do you wish to rescue the sacrifice?"
"You're telling us we have to win the match to take her back?" Kidou asks, his teeth slightly gritting.
"Are you willing?" Desuta mocks them again.
"I am willing!" Jirou's voice was still filled with rage but this time, it had a hint of determination and persistence. "Rena, we'll save you, just wait!"
********************************************************
I ended up being placed above the field, still chained up. Both teams were in position already. I trusted my brother, but somehow this feeling wouldn't go away. "Guys, be careful out there!" I shout.
"We'll have them follow after you soon enough." Desuta says, smirking. I gulp. Jirou, everyone, please win this!
'They'll win this, don't worry.' An unseen voice says in my head.
'Huh? Who are you?! Are you an unknown demon spirit?!'
'I'm a spirit, but not a demon spirit.' The voice says. 'Just have faith. They'll win this.'
'How am I gonna believe you when I can't see you?'
'You'll see me. Soon.'
The whistle blew with Hell Army Z's kickoff. Shuuya, Toramaru, and Matthew ran forward. "Hissatsu Tactics! Black Thunder!" Desuta shouts. In a flash movement, everyone seemed to freeze. When everyone managed to move, Desuta was already at the goal, kicking the ball in. Just what the hell was that move? It was like Heaven's Time.
The game resumed with the White Team's kickoff. (Yes, White Team, because that's their teams before we got into this crazy mess) Toramaru kicked the ball to Gouenji and they ran forward. Kidou ran up from behind. "Gouenji, pass it!" I heard him shout, making Gouenji glance at him. "It's too risky when we don't know what kind of strategies they have! We'll start passing around to see what kind of soccer they play!" I have a bad feeling that's gonna be a horrible idea.
Gouenji kicked the ball to Kidou, who kicked it to Mark but Jirou suddenly intercepted it. What the heck?! Jirou! "We have to time for this! If we just lay around we won't find a way to win this!" He shouts at Kidou, running forward with the ball in his possession.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." I saw Akio smirking and ran forward. Jirou wasn't hesitant to pass the ball to Akio, and he got past two players. "I don't care you're the army of hell or whatever! You piss me off!" He shouts. Before a player could steal the ball from him, Akio passes it to Tobitaka, doing an overlap. Jousuke headed up as well. A wave of relief was about to wash over me, but it became a wave of worry when Akio's kick didn't make it in the goal.
When it was Hell Army Z's turn in getting another goal, they were brutally hurting everyone on the field. Tachimukai's "Maou the Hand" couldn't stop Desuta's shoot, "Dark Matter". "N-No..." I gulped again, this time in fear. I saw Jirou looking up at me, obviously worried. "Jirou..." I sniffed. The tears were coming out again, but I blinked them away.
The first half ended with 2-0. Kidou was making plans already but Jirou was still looking up at me. I haven't seen him this worried since I got locked up in the classroom when we were eight. After a few minutes, the second half started. Kidou must've told them to strengthen the defense line, and I could tell Jirou was getting pissed. Everyone was getting seriously frustrated or just plain angry. Then I realized; They were stalling time. I wanted to shout but my mouth wouldn't cooperate.
I saw Teres, Matthew, and Mark nod at each other. What were they planning? Come to think of it, they haven't done much. Then I take my words back when Teres used "Iron Wall" on "Dark Matter". Even one of their players used "Go to Hell", but Teres stood his ground and it backfired on the player. Teres ran up with the ball and fours players were blocking his way. Teres was giving it his all to break through them and keep the ball in his possession, when he saw an opening, he kicked the ball to Mark. He got past two players and kicked the ball up in the air. Mark followed it's path and so did another player, but due to that they hit each other, falling in the process. Luckily, the ball landed on Mark's side and used his strength to kick it to Matthew. The half-American-Canadian ran with the ball, breaking the defense line. When he was in front of the goal he faked a hissatsu shoot and just kicked it straight in.
"Yatta!" I exclaimed in relief.
The match was now with their upper hand. They scored 2-2 thanks to Toramaru's "Gladius Arch". But now I was getting really worried. Time was running out. Please, please make the winning goal... please!
"Kidou, let's finish this." I heard Jirou say to Kidou.
"I've never seen you this angry." Kidou says. He had a poker face on but I could tell his eyes were widened.
Jirou gave a half-smile, half-smirk. "She's my sister. I'll do anything it takes to protect her."
I smiled at this. 'Jirou... you really are keeping you promise.' I thought.
The match was beginning to end. Tachimukai blocked "Dark Matter", and Jirou, Kidou, and Akio scored with "Emperor Penguin #3." And just in time too. The second half ended with 3-2, Jirou and the others winning. The chains that were suddenly bound to me had gotten off. Without thinking, I jumped down from where I was and ran to Jirou, hugging him tightly. "I'm glad you're safe, Rena!" Jirou hugs me back. "Thanks for not giving up and saving me..." I sniffed.
"We wouldn't just abandon you." I heard Matthew say. "Besides, Fudou was having a mental fit."
"I was not having a fit!" Akio protests.
I look up at Jirou, tears falling down. "Hey, you're saved. Don't cry." Jirou says, laughing a little.
"Guys!"
We saw Endou and the others. I'm guessing they succeeded in getting Rika back.
Suddenly, it went dark. Up another set of stairs revealed half from the Heaven team and half from Hell Army Z.
This was bad news.
