Chapter 26 - Let The Game Begin!

''What's the plan!?''. Jiji shouts panicked. ''Win!''. Okarun shouts as he runs forward. ''Pass the ball!''. Okarun shouts. Jiji kicks it towards him.

But as Okarun receives the pass the Evil eye punches him away. ''Hahaha!''. The evil eye laughs.

Suddenly the spirit blows it's whistle. ''Foul! Overly Aggressive Tackle!''. The Spirit shouts. ''Penalty! Red Card, Elimination until further notice!''. The spirit continues as it throws a red card at the evil eye.

The evil eye gets blasted away unconscious. ''Okarun you ok?!''. Jiji shouts. ''Uhgg yeah I'm fine''. Okarun says getting up, I don't know a lot about sports but I'm pretty sure that's not how red cards work!''. Okarun says in frustration. ''They will work however I want them to! I am the referee!''. The spirit shouts back.

''Okarun the ball!''. Jiji shouts as one of the players gets it and runs towards the goal. Jiji tries to stop him but it passes to it's teammate. ''Dammit! They can do that!?''. Jiji shouts in frustration.

When the player notices no one is at goal it tries to shoot the ball into the net from range. ''Oh hell no!''. Okarun says as he runs back stopping it before it can enter the net. ''Over here!''. Jiji says already standing in the midfield. ''Here you go!''. Okarun says as he kicks the ball directly to him with all his might. But, it was completely off target. 

''What the?''. Jiji says in disbelief. ''I don't play any sports!''. Okarun shouts. Jiji runs at full speed towards where the ball is heading and manages to control it, he dribbles past all the players and shoots the ball into the goal. ''Goalllll!!''. Jiji shouts. ''Woah, he's good''. Okarun says.

''Hey Okarun! They are good but they kinda just move like zombies tryna block me without any real plan! Without the evil eye we can totally beat them!''. Jiji shouts across the field.

''1 Point for team human!''. The spirit says in an unhappy manner. It blows it's whistle and everyone is teleported to their parts of the field. 

''Red card elimination over!''. The spirit shouts as the evil eye is teleported back to his side of the field with his team. It grunts in anger. ''You know the rules! But you did that anyway! Keep it up and I might permanently ban you!''. The spirit shouts. ''Fine! I will obey your rules for now!''. The evil eye says.

''Good! Possession to team Yokai!''. The spirit says as the ball appears in front of the evil eye. ''GO!''. The spirit shouts as it blows it's whistle. The evil eye plays more strategically and closes the distance before shooting. ''I'll be on defense cause I'm not that good, just make sure you score the goals!". Okarun says running forward to stop the evil eye. ''Got it!''. Jiji replies.

The evil eye somehow manages to dribble Okarun. ''What the?''. Okarun and Jiji say in unison. ''Hahaha!''. The evil eye laughs as it shoots an incredibly powerful shot at the goal. Jiji can't block it, but can't get out of the way either. The shockwave throws him into the air as the ball enters the back of their net.

''2 Points to team Yokai!''. The spirit shouts. ''Jiji!''. Okarun shouts running back towards him ''Uhgg, What the hell was that''. Jiji asks. The evil eye laughs intensly. ''This body is perfect for this, it's like it knows exactly what to do!''. The evil eye gloats.

''Dammit Why did I have to be so good!". Jiji says holding his stomach but also striking a pose with his tongue out.

''Focus Jiji! We have to win or we'll just play again, and I have a feeling this Yokai won't replenish our stamina or our powers. So I have to save going all out till later''. Okarun deduces.

Jiji gets up. ''Yeah you're right, but.. I'm basically useless!''. Jiji cries. The spirit blows it's whistle as both teams are reset to their positions the ball appearing with Okarun this time.

''GO!''. The spirit says as it blows the whistle. ''Ok what's the plan!?''. Jiji asks. ''We have to....''. Okarun says as he is cut off by the evil eye blitzing forward and stealing the ball shooting it into the net. ''HAHAHA!''. The evil eye laughs. ''3 Points to team Yokai!". The referee shouts. 

''Dammit he's getting the hang of this!''. Okarun shouts. ''What do we do!? If we lose we're gonna be stuck playing forever!''. Jiji cries. ''I knew that's why he wanted to make a deal!". Okarun asks.

''Smart assumption human, When I was alive, No one wanted to play with me for as long as I wanted, I always asked for rematches but they never accepted opting to go home! I trained by myself until one day I was struck by lightning while playing in the rain! On this very field!''. The Spirit explains.

''THAT'S YOUR FAULT IDIOT!''. Okarun shouts. ''YAH WHY THE HELL WERE YOU PLAYING IN THE RAIN WHEN THERE WAS LIGHTNING?!''. Jiji shouts as well. ''Enough! I am not here to be reprimanded by mere children game begin!". The spirit shouts in frustration as it blows it's whistle resetting the game as before, with Okarun and Jiji in possession of the ball, the evil eye charging towards them.

''What do we do!?''. Jiji cries. ''We need to get out of here somehow! We need help! Leave the ball let's get out!''. Okarun says as he leaves the ball where it is, grabs Jiji and runs as fast as he can towards the wall. ''I'm going all out!''. Okarun shouts as he blasts into the wall breaking it as he and Jiji run out.

''We did it! We're out!''. Jiji shouts in triumph. Suddenly from behind them they hear. ''Goal! 4 Points for team Yokai''. The spirit shouts as it blows it's whistle and everything is reset once more.

Jiji and Okarun are teleported back into the field, the part of the wall where they broke out now completely fixed. ''NOOOO WE WERE OUT!? HOW?!''. Jiji shouts.

''Do you not understand!? You cannot leave unless you win!''. The spirit shouts. ''Game Begin!''. The spirit says. The ball with Jiji and Okarun again.

''What do we do now?''. Jiji asks. ''I have no idea''. Okarun says hopelessly as the evil eye runs towards them stealing the ball and shooting it into the net once again blasting the 2 away.

''5 Points to team Yokai!". The spirit shouts.
