Both teams stand on the 160m by 120m pitch, with the crowd screaming towards them, pumped for the match to begin.
On the Knightmares' side, Iancu rides the monster truck in the back, acting as the Knightmares' goalkeeper, Pumnflacără and Orb stand a little in front of him with Pumnflacără on the right, and Orb on the left, acting as defenders. Dumnorix stands on the right of the midfield, with Ikaras standing in between the Orb and Dumnorix. Finally, both Pumnpiatră and Mõõk stand as the two forwards of the team.
On the Bloody Mary's side, Žudrė rides the monster truck in the back as the goalkeeper, with Pink as the sole defender. Green, Yellow, and Blue stand in the midfield, with Red and White standing ahead of them as the strikers, on the left and right wings respectively.
As per tournament rules, the team which has knocked down the most pieces in the season up to this point gets the first advantage and claims the ball. So as he holds the ball in his hands, Red says, "Let's destroy them."
A large echoing sound goes off, and the match between the two begins. With all of the strikers and midfielders of the Mary's moving upwards, with Žudrė moving her feet on pads beneath her, which makes the machine move around the field to avoid being an easy target. On the opposite side, Pumnpiatră and Mõõk start moving towards the machine of the Bloody Marys, with all the other members of the Knightmares remaining stationary.
Blue, looking at this, says, "Are they just going to stand there?"
Green shouts, "LET THEM!"
Yellow says, "Keep your energy calm, we need to test what this new lineup can do."
White says, "That boy has an ice legacy, so be careful."
Red says, "It doesn't matter what he has, I will break through."
The five siblings, giant muscular siblings who each shine with their respective colours through their veins, which are visible to all, move forward with confidence and power that makes the very ground shake like a series of rampaging Tiritrexs. Through their bodies, they throw the ball from hand to hand as they move, showcasing a form of calmness that unnerves the members of the Knightmares.
Yet Orb, as relaxed as ever with a bright smile on his face, stretches and says, "Each of them is around 6 meters in height, half the size of BlackWolf(Gurmand). They're not wearing armour or a jersey, just pants and a team crest, but knowing what their curse is, I expect it from them. How fun."
Iancu, behind Orb, looks to Pumnflacără and says, "Are you guys still sure you don't want information on their curses?"
Pumnflacără, still in his mini form, says, "Of course not. Even if they break the rules, we will still crush them. So just let us see it with our own eyes."
Orb smiling, says, "I like your resolve, and will make sure to reward you. Red branch battle arts; Starflower."
He lunges his body towards Red, who is throwing the ball at a speed he can barely keep up with and smashes his foot into his face, knocking him backwards. Zbur, seeing this, let's out and roar, then says, "It looks like this little boy is worth more than just his legacy!"
Orb in the air looks around for the ball that was being thrown by Red's arms, and sees nothing. Then he hears, "A good kick. I need to watch out for your blows now."
Red, who has been kicked back, lands on all the arms on his back, which he uses to stabilise himself, with one of them bouncing the ball off the floor beneath him. Soon, three of those arms sink into his back before combining into one giant arm that pushes him up to headbutt Orb.
As Red's head approaches, Orb uses his finger to nimbly push against Red's head, allowing him to avoid taking a direct hit from the headbutt, and making his body spin in the air towards the back of Red.
Red's giant arms quickly break into a series of smaller arms that try to grab Orb's body. Orb activates his legacy on his leg, and while spinning, creates a mountain of ice that freezes them solid, and uses the opportunity to grab the ball.
The other four siblings break their four giant arms into numerous tiny ones, which they send to grab Orb, and as he lands on the ground, Orb says, "Red branch battle arts; Tulip." Then starts to dodge them at high speed, yet the box around him that they have created stops him from escaping their sight.
Pumnflacără activates his curse, making his body grow into a 9-meter man composed of burning magma, and Ikaras in the distance says, "So their curse allows them to shrink and grow those little arms, changing their shape, giving them massive utility. What a fun curse for Cursed Chess, I can just imagine the combos and plays you could do with a skilled midfielder with such an ability. Though I prefer raw power over such combos. It's time to take to the sky."
Pumnflacără says, "Good job Orb, now let's create a path to the goal for you."
From his fists, he shoots out giant blobs of magma into the air that crash down as meteors onto the field around Orb and the siblings. Seeing this, they all disperse not to be struck, yet Orb stay despite the meteor heading straight towards him.
On the field, he moves the ball between his legs as he builds up rotation by moving around at high speed. "Fully charged now." Orb kicks the ball into he sky, and then follows it up there, then he says, "Helix battle arts; Spiral imbuement + Red branch battle arts; Sky flower!"
In one moment, he smashes the ball with one of his feet, and the force unleashed on it sends it flying forward into the air, right up towards Ikaras in the sky, who grabs it and says, "Thanks for the delivery."
Orb tightens his face as he says, "It feels like my leg is about to snap."
Zbur yells and then shouts, "It looks like we already have our first fatality of the day! The little world is about to get cooked alive!"
Dumnorix, in the distance, says, "Red branch battle arts; Passiflora," and dashes forward, grabbing Orb out of the air, and saving him from the meteor of magna about to fall on his head.
The crowd goes while at the crazy speed showcased, making Zbur yell, "We thought we had one speedster amongst one of new recruits, but it seems the scorpion was far faster than anyone ever thought.
Holding Orb, Dumnorix says, "It's a bit light, but the cheers are getting better."
Orb ignores Dumnorix's chatter in his arms and says, "I really need to learn how to handle all of this force. My spirit energy reinforcement needs to become more efficient."
Dumnorix nocks Orb on his head with the hard part of his tail, then says, "Take it slow. Right now, I can tell you're trying to understand the essence of Helix battle arts, stick to that before you progress into other things, or do you think a fighting style developed over centuries is so pathetic that you can learn it while multitasking other activities?"
Orb's hair turns red, as he has completely fallen for the bait Dumnorix left out, and says, "Just watch me master it right here, today!"
Ikaras, with the ball in hand, soars through the field and looks over to the northeastern side of the field, where Žudrė rides around preparing for the assault.
"It's time for the wings of the Knightmares to soar right into the goal."
His eyes lock onto Žudrė, and she instantly comes to a stop. A bad feeling surges through his spine, and soon he feels intense air pressure move past his back and quickly turns around.
Behind him, Blue appears like a meteor in the air, and quickly bringing his eyes down, Ikaras sees the other four siblings with all of their arms turned into a single giant one.
"Aren't you a bit old for your siblings to throw you in the air?"
"You're never too old to force your siblings to baby you."
He stretches his arms to try and grab Ikaras wings, and as they grab them, the blades sharpen and cut, leaving cuts in Blue's hands, which is quickly followed up by a kick right into Blue's face.
"Do you really think I would dominate the sky without being able to protect my wings, you idiot?"
Blue's body quickly shrinks, and all of his body mass from his 6-meter body moves right into his arms. The arms unite into a giant one, which then quickly flicks its finger, sending Blue flying into the sky towards Ikaras.
"It's good to exhaust all of your options in battle. Assumptions are the easiest way to be deceived."
He swings the giant arm at Ikaras, who dodges, and as Blue falls, he uses to strength of his giant arm to flick his body towards Ikaras again. They keep this up, forming a battle in midair between them both.
"You can feel it, can't you, the fear and danger that creeps up on you, the fear of the hand that will swat you out of the sky. The control you had over the sky is fading!"
"Shut up, you ogre!"
Standing at the technical area, Ivana watches Mõõk rush towards a blind spot on the monster truck, and beside José, the member of Bendícon with bad posture walks up and says, "Hey boss, what are you doing over here?"
"Valerio, where were you?" In a stressed tone.
"The food didn't really sit right."
José knocks his head, saying, "I don't need more to worry about! Where were you, idiot?"
"You seem extra stressed out today. Is something wrong?"
José points at Mõõk running around, and Valerio says, "Isn't that Mõõk the star player? I heard he usually is always running around the field playing all three positions, but it seems he has stuck himself in the front today, how strange?"
Ivana says, "It is necessary. He won't have the strength or stamina in his current shape to unleash any decisive strikes while playing all three positions. So this is the best we can do with what we have been given. So right now it depends on our midfielders and defenders to make up for the lack of Mõõk throughout the field."
José says, "Do you think they can do it?"
"I am assured of that. Because he is a miracle maker."
"Betting on a miracle doesn't seem like a good plan."
"He doesn't make bets; he simply believes his teammates will get the ball towards him."
Looking down at Mõõk zooming into position, Ikaras says, "You're screaming at me right now, aren't you, with that confident sprint."
Yet Ikaras quickly zoom past Blue and dives towards the ground as Blue tries to keep up with him. Ikaras' aerodynamic body quickly slices through the air, allowing his diving to outspeed Blues.
Then, once he reaches near enough the pitch, he flings the ball over towards Mõõk. The ball perfectly lines up to his body, and jumping up, Mõõk activates he curse, and says, "It's time for the finish," as he slams a full power kick right into the ball.
Žudrė, standing at the side of the monster truck, says, "You really are an ace striker, but that won't get you past raw power."
She raises her hands, and a giant metal face with bloody eyes appears in front of the monster truck, which takes the blow and completely stops the ball in its tracks, allowing Žudrė to quickly catch it.
Mõõk watches, shocked, and Ivana says, "Here it is. The impenetrable barrier curse that blocked all of Bloody Mary's attacks in their tracks. The ultimate enemy towards our victory."
Mõõk smiles and says, "No such thing as an unbreakable shield. It merely means that we get to have some fun solving a puzzle first."
Žudrė says, "Your king will long be destroyed before that happens."
"We'll see about that."
