Chapter 27 - Summoning: A Vital Substitution!

The spirit blows it's whistle again as everything resets, the cycle repeats itself over and over. Okarun and Jiji struggling to keep up.

''6 Points Team Yokai!''. The spirit shouts.

''7 Points Team Yokai!''. The spirit shouts.

''8 Points Team Yokai!''. The spirit shouts.

''9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15!!! Points Team Yokai!''. The spirit shouts Laughing menaically.

''We can't!''. Jiji pants. ''This is ridiculous!''. Okarun says as he pants. ''Oh don't worry boys, you always have next game, and the next, and the next after that! Hahahha!''. The spirit laughs mocking them.

''You know what enough of this!''. Okarun shouts jumping up towards where the spirit is flying as he tries to attack it.

''Oh no, no, no! Foul! Un-sportsman like conduct! Red Card!". The spirit says as it dodges Okarun easily and throws a red card at him sending him plummeting into the ground.

''What are we supposed to do! We can't keep up!''. Jiji shouts. ''This is unfair! There's like 12 people on their team and only 2 on ours''. Okarun shouts. ''And whose fault is that?! I told you to choose your teams! Did I not?!''. The spirit shouts.

''Hey shut it! You tricked us plus there weren't enough people anyway! We need a substitution! Or a new player or something! Anything!''. Jiji shouts. ''Oh you can get a new player''. The spirit taunts. ''HOW!?''. Jiji shouts. ''As long as their inside the field they are a player, although you might struggle to get one now won't you!?''. The spirit cackles.

''Uhgg, This is impossible!''. Jiji shouts. ''Where were Momo and Aira anyway! Why aren't they here anyway?!''. Jiji shouts. Okarun starts to feel guilty.

''Damn it, why did I try to act tough in front of them, Jiji's right, Momo always knows what to do, After all my training I still can't protect her, she's always the one protecting me!''. Okarun says to himself.

''Okarun! Okarun! What's the plan dude we can't give up so easily!''. Jiji shouts. ''I... I don't know''. Okarun says giving up hope.

''UGGHH! Oh!! I wish Momo was here she always knows what to do! She would kick your ass ya damn spirit!''. Jiji shouts. ''Well why don't you summon her then!?''. The spirit shouts back laughing.

Okarun remembers what Momo told him earlier. ''Kick his ass ya damn bully!''. He remembers Momo say. ''I can't give up so easily, she believed in me I can't let her down!". Okarun says to himself with determination

''I wish I could summon her!''. Jiji shouts back to the spirit. ''Summon... SUMMON! THAT'S IT!''. Okarun shouts in excitement.

''Summon? We can't summon her she's not a ghost! OHH I GET IT NOW TOGATA! SUMMON HIM! SUMMON HIM!''. Jiji shouts back. ''We can't summon Togata but we can summon Tick!''. Okarun replies.

''Tick Tick Tick!''. Okarun shouts out.

*Meanwhile At the Toriyama Mansion*

''Young Master Togata would you like some more chocolate?''. Tick asks. ''No thanks Tick, I don't want to get cavities''. Togata laughs.

''But you're hair isn't entirely blue, it's important we stock up on Life force for every battle that could come our way!''. Tick suggests. Togata sighs. ''Yeah you have a point, here give it to me''. Togata says stretching out his hand

''Incredible choice Young Master Toga....''. Tick says as he disappears and the chocolate bar drops to the ground. ''Tick? Where the hell....Oh..''. Togata says to himself remembering he told the group how he can summon Tick.

Togata sighs as he picks up the chocolate bar. ''They must be in trouble again''. Togata says as he takes a bite. ''Don't worry On my way''. Togata says to himself as he chews.

Tick appears inside the cursed house on the field. ''Oh my where have I gone now?''. Tick says looking around. ''TICK!''. Jiji and Okarun shout together.

''Oh hello there young fellows, why have you summoned me?''. Tick asks. ''WE. THEN WE HAD TO. THEN WE..''. The 2 says mumbling trying to explain everything quickly.

''Speak clearly now! One at a time!". Tick demands. The 2 then just point at the evil eye as he heads straight towards them.

''Oh I see''. Tick says as the evil eye kicks the ball at them and it blasts them away.

The team picks themselves up again as the whistle blows and everything resets. ''I was telling young master Togata it was unwise for you to be keeping an evil spirit in your body!''. Tick says proudly.

''How did you get in here!?''. The spirit shouts as it points at Tick. ''Well good day to you as well, I believe you are the spirit we will be defeating''. Tick says as he bows and takes off his top hat.

''Tch! No matter It won't make a difference! Game Begin!''. The spirit shouts. The evil eye just runs towards them but this time the team try to play again. ''Where is Togata!?''. Okarun shouts as he runs forward with the ball. ''Well he must still be at home''. Tick says calmly floating alongside.

''Get him here now! We need him!''. Jiji cries. ''Do not shout young lad! All is in Order! Anyway knowing young master Togata he must be heading here now. But seeing as we are in some sort of a barrier, we must create an opening''. Tick says.

''I have an Idea for that''. Okarun says dodging the evil eye as he tries to tackle the ball of him. ''What do we do in the meantime!? I'll be dead by the time he gets here!''. Jiji shouts. ''Well calm down boy I have thought of a solution already''. Tick says as he flies into Jiji's body, A monocle appears on his eye. ''Woah!!''. Jiji says.

''I am now in your body and can make you permeable''. Tick explains. ''Uhh what's that?''. Jiji asks. ''You can go through things boy! That should help you stay out of danger for a while''. Tick explains again.

''Jiji!''. Okarun says as he passes to him. Jiji recieves the pass but the evil eye heads straight for him. ''AHHHH!". Jiji shouts as he braces himself for the impact. ''Must you scream so loudly!?''. Tick says as he makes Jiji and the ball transparent and the evil eye passes right through him and crashes into the ground.

''COOL!". Jiji exclaims. ''Like that? You have not seen anything yet young one, grab the ball betwinxt your legs!''. Tick says. Jiji does as he says and Tick allows them to fly into the air avoiding the defense and straight into the goal scoring one. ''GOALL!!''. Jiji and Tick shout.

''Hey that's unfair!''. The spirit shouts. ''No it's not he's inside the barrier so he's on our team and we can use any power we want''. Okarun says. ''Fine!". The spirit shouts as he blows his whistle and everything resets.

''Game Begin!''. The spirit shouts. Tick makes Jiji go through the ground and steal the ball from the evil eye. ''Yeah!!''. Jiji shouts flying with the ball in his legs. ''Come back here!''. The evil eye says as it jumps and grabs the ball from them.

''WHAT!?''. Jiji shouts. ''Oh my he seems to be adapting''. Tick says as the evil eye runs straight past okarun and shoots the ball into the net.

The evil eye laughs. ''50 Points Team Yokai! 2 Points Team Human! One minute remains''. The spirit shouts laughing. ''Well Takakura boy, I would like to hear your plan to make an opening for the young master?''. Tick says a bit worried.

Okarun stands with ball as everything resets and the evil eye stares him down from the other side of the field. ''Don't worry, I got this, after all the evil eye is just a kid that wants to play''. Okarun says.

''Hey evil eye! I bet you can't kick the ball so hard I can't touch it!''. Okarun teases.

''Of course I can!''. The evil eye responds. ''Then let me see you try!''. Okarun says as he kick the ball straight at the evil eye who kicks it straight back.

Okarun kicks it back again and the evil eye retaliates as well, this keeps going until the ball is basically invisible. ''Oh my what a genius scheme indeed''. Tick says.

''Hey You idiot! they want to break a hole in the barrier and you will lose! Stop Kicking it back!''. The spirit shouts at the evil eye who just ignores him.

''But what if Togata isn't outside when we make the opening!?''. Jiji asks worried. ''Well..''. Tick replies. ''Huh....''. Jiji squeals.

The ball gets faster and faster until Okarun shoots it directly at the ceiling breaking it. ''Ball out of bounds! Reset!''. The Spirit shouts quickly as it blows it's whistle and everything resets the hole now sealed.

''Ball put out of play by team Human. Possession goes to team Yokai! 30 Seconds remain!''. The spirit says as it blows the whistle

''Wait, WHERE IS HE!?'' Jiji squeals. ''It.. seems he missed the opening, or maybe was not there at all''. Tick comments. ''Damn it, that's all I got''. Okarun says as the evil eye prepares to shoot the ball directly at the net laughing. 

''HAHA I'M WINNING!''. The evil eye shouts. ''WHAT DO WE DO KNOW?!". Jiji shouts. ''Don't know''. Okarun and Tick reply nonchalantly as the ball flies past their heads directly to the net causing dust as it flies by.

''YESS!!''. The spirit shouts.

Suddenly everyone freezes, the ball doesn't enter the net. ''Wait what!?''. The spirit shouts as the dust settles and standing there is Togata blocking the ball on the goal line with his knee.

The ball rolls on his knee for a few seconds before dropping to the ground where Togata puts his foot on it.

''TOGATA!''. Jiji cries.

Okarun sighs ''About time''. Okarun says relieved.

''You never tarry young master, impeccable timing as always''. Tick praises.

''Yoo, y'all got room for one more?''. Togata asks transformed as the dust settles around him.
