It ends here

Luke had a pale expression on his face as the shot came towards him, Victor Isunguyo had had put all of his superpotentia energy into this on shot making Luke's hairs stand on ends. Luke discovered that he need to put his all in stopping that shot.

"iron fortress", Luke Marcus roared as he activated his superpotentia technique using every bit of superpotentia energy he had in him.

Am imposing iron fortress appeared behind him as the flame wolf collided with it, Luke gritted his teeth as he glanced at his energy reading band.

'shit am low on energy, how much of a fucking energy does this dude have', Luke cursed internally with a heavy heart.

'Fidelis I think it's up to you now, I tried to stall it for some time', Luke thought as he ran out of superpotentia energy which brought about the collapse of his iron fortress while the flame wolf continued surging forward.

Fidelis looked at the incoming shot and he knew that's all on him now, taking in a deep breath he activated his superpotentia technique.

"Aegis come forth", he roared as an imposing ethereal shield appeared in his hands.

"come at you damn fucker", Fidelis sneered as the shot crashed into the shield pushing him back a little but he refused to back down as the flame wolf struggled to get past the shield.

"oh oh, you are not going anywhere", Fidelis snorted as he suppressed the flame wolf, when clashing energies receded the ball was in his hand.

'tweeep'

the referee blew the whistle for half time.

In the dressing room...

"that was one sick save, damn you are one hell of a goalie", Buckets exclaimed as held Fidelis hands looking at the scared glove.

"how powerful is his superpotentia energy that it almost destroyed this gloves and these gloves are made to absorb some of the superpotentia energy for the safety of the goalie", Buckets muttered while Fidelis struggled to hold his laughter.

"and here comes the the talisman of miracles", cheered David.

"guy no dey whine me", Happy chuckled.

(no dey whine me means please don't flatter me).

"you were with the coach, so where is he", Frank suddenly spoke up looking at Happy.

"uhmm, he said that he is taking a nap", Happy scratched his head in embarrassment and pointed to a certain directiin in the room.

"what", the team exclaimed while Buckets face palmed himself as they saw coach Hans brazenly snoring heartily with a soccer magazine covering his face, they were all perplexed as they didn't noticed him. Looking closely they all noticed five placards placed round the coach with certain words written on them.

the first placard read...

'PLEASE DON'T DISTURB THIS YOUNG MAN'

'what in the fucking hell, if you are a young man then we all are young pigeons', Ash cursed his coach internally when he read the words on the placard.

the second placard read...

'GO OUT AND HAVE FUN'

Everyone nodded in agreement as they read the second one because they were really having fun due to the intensity of the game.

"yeah, I like this one", Mfoniso nodded as the rest agreed with him.

looking at the third placard they were all stunned and the payers subconsciously turned and looked at Buckets.

"what are you all looking at", Buckets asked quite irritated.

not responding to his request they looked back at the third placard, following their gazes he looked at the third placard and shriek.

"are you really fucking kidding me right now".

the third placard read...

"BUCKETS, I WILL SLAP THE REFEREE WHEN I RECEIVE THE RED CARD YOU WILL HEAD THE TEAM"

The they all turned and looked at the fourth placard, it looked like the continuation of the third placard.

"YOU MIGHT WONDER WHY I WOULD DO THAT? WELL AM TO LAZY RIGHT NOW, SO GET YOU SHORT BODY AND LEAD THE TEAM".

Buckets was about to jump on the sleeping coach Hans and give him he beating of his life but he was held back by the team while he struggled frantically to beat the day light out of Hans.

seeing the awkward situation Happy called out.

"don't you guys want to read the last placard".

But Happy intentions made him receive bombs of profanities from Buckets as he stormed out of the dressing room.

Happy stood and stared at the team awkwardly as they followed Buckets to resume the match.

"oh well it my time to shine, I won't let you down", Happy swore to coach Hans before running off to meet the rest of the team at the field not even glancing at the fifth placard because he had this premonition that if he tried to do that he will immediately puke at his coach's shamelessness and as if to respond to Happy coach Hans let out a heavy snore from his mouth.

Happy had a slight smile on his face as he continued forward towards the goalie who was ever ready to stop whatever Happy throws at him but his face paled as Happy didn't take the shot but gave out a pass to Luis who the Lourdes defenders didn't noticed had snuck into the penalty box. Luis was shocked as the ball touched his legs, looking at Happy he saw the later giving him a thumbs up.

89 minutes in the game....

Lourdes tried to break through the defence of Daniest FC countless times but they couldn't because Ash and Mfoniso had suddenly become the best defending duo in Daniest as they defended the goalpost like an impassable mountains. After Iwa-Eni lost the ball and failed to recover it, Eric gave out a cross to Happy who immediately volleyed the ball to David Akpama who stood 25 yards from the goalpost as he activated his superpotentia technique.

"Hammer Head of Horror", David roared as an ethereal sinister looking skull appeared behind him, then he nodded the ball with the skull pushing the ball forward.

Leroy Jethro hairs stood at its ends as he saw the shot coming towards him, he immediately activated his superpotentia technique.

"Hands of Tempest", he shouted as two water like hands came out of his back and tried to block the ball.

The skull pushed the ball forward out a huge pressure on Leroy as he tried to stop the shot but in a slight moment of distraction the water like hands broke as the ball flew into the goal.

David ran like a wild deer to were the fans of Daniest FC stood before hitting the Siu celebration.

Goal! Goal!! Goal!!!

The match ended on a victory note for the Daniest, Happy had declined the offer to join the rest of the team in the team bus as he opted to leave with his mom.

"Lilith you came", Happy hugged her but he had a pained on his face which Lilith didn't notice but it didn't pass the eyes of his mother.

"ehmm, Lilith you should get going", Mrs Petra said as she strapped a teleportation band on Lilith's hands sending he back to the fantasy realm before she could say anything.

Happy suddenly vomited some black blood which had a foul smell then he fainted in his mother's hands.

"why now of all now's" Mrs Petra muttered while looking round the empty packing lot.
