CHAPTER 4: Invincible spirit, Thunder Lion appears!

Rubencho, seeing that the chances of his team to win were few, felt helpless to see his teammates hurt, locked and unable to do anything to get the victory, besides there were few minutes left for the match to end and the score was 2 to 0 in favor of Mairen FC. In response to what the captain of that team Rubencho stood up and said: "Do you think we are weak? I still have enough strength to continue protecting the goal and the whole team. Hearing these words, the whole team got up and the captain saw this with an evil smile and said: "I see that you don't want to listen... ok... I won't hold back", after this the Thunder World team took the ball but immediately the captain managed to take the ball away and that strange spirit emerged again launching the special attack, it began to destroy the whole team again. As he was approaching the goal Rubencho thinking about how to stop the attack he had no strength left, but the young man with a strong will decided not to perform his technique the Thunder Punch trying to stop the ball, the captain of Mairen looked at him saying: "You have no strength, you're a loser! Laughing in an evil way, "Give up, you have no chance to win", hearing this the young man shouting and with all his strength said: "I will not give up: -I will not give up... the team is counting on me, I will not let my grandfather down- suddenly from the young man's necklace emanated a yellow energy and from it came out a spirit similar to the captain of Mairen but this one looked like a lion, it was red with its big yellow mane and on its shoulders had a kind of lightning that reached his hands, shouting the young man says: come on... appears Lightning Beast Thunder Lion! He did his special technique: "Thunder Claw" and managed to stop the ball. The whole team was surprised, the young man looked at them all and said: "We will not give up as long as we have time: -We will not give up while we still have time, we can still win - with this the team was encouraged, almost immediately they reached the goal, Marcos gave a pass to Alejandro, he made his technique "wild flare" the Mairen goalkeeper could not with such technique giving the first goal to Thunder World; then the Mairen FC players were arriving to the goal but Enderson did again his " Big Tidal Wave" technique, this time preventing them from scoring the goal, then it was Marcos' turn with a great evade and pass from Omar Marcos received the ball and did his "Hyper Lanza" technique scoring the second goal and providing the tie, Finally with three minutes left on the scoreboard with a great pass from Alejandro to Diego he did his technique "Supersonic Howl" scoring the goal just when the time was running out giving the victory to Thunder World. When they were celebrating Rubencho looked at the Mairen's Captain, crestfallen and angry, he said: "no... this is not true, I am the strongest after all I did to get the Monster I lose", the young man approached him, shook his hand and said: "good game, right? the player refused to shake his hand and went away, at that moment Bruce approached Rubencho and with a happy face he said: -Bringing the smile back to soccer is going to be more complicated than I thought; after this the young man went to celebrate with the team and the coach looking at him celebrating said: -you are the hope that soccer has been looking for a long time... I am sure that you will become as strong as him-.

The next day, at the Thunder Camp everyone was talking about the game, Rubencho looked at Bruce asking him: -I heard the Mairen player talking about a Monster... the most curious thing is that he mentioned something like Zone Zero, what is that? the coach did not know how to explain to them just when he was about to talk to them all heard someone saying: -I can give you an explanation- everyone was surprised including Rubencho, it was old Freddy! He asked him in surprise:

-What are you doing here Mr. Freddy - Freddy looking at Bruce answers:

- It's about time they knew the truth, isn't it? - Everyone started to listen attentively:

- Let's see, first the spirit that came out of both the player and Rubencho is called Monster, this is a projection of the nexus between the player, the ball and his feelings - understanding this frames asks him:

-but... if it is a projection, why did it feel so real?- Freddy answers:

-Since the Monster is the link between the player and the ball, it can be so real that its attacks feel like when a ball hits you, causing a lot of damage. Besides, it has more power than we can imagine... according to the story, when the player links directly with the Monster he suffers a phenomenon called Evolx" Rubencho, looking seriously at Freddy, asks:

- I understand but... what is this Zone Zero?

- this is the most complicated part... the Zero Zone is the reason why your grandfather is no longer with us- Freddy answers him.

Hearing this, the young man was in shock, surprised by such news.
