Is Shi Okay?! (Shi/Dante)

The clock is winding down on the first half. The crowd is hyped up, most cheering for the Handsome Boys, but a lot starting to root on the Rebels. Luna gets the ball and goes for an easy basket, but Babi comes in and fouls her hard as paypack for the first quarter. The score at the end of the first half, the Handsome Boys, 66. The Rebels, 59. Both teams head to their locker rooms. Dante takes off some of his pads ands shakes the sweat off. He grabs his pack of cigarettes and goes to one of the showers to smoke.

In the Handsome Boys locker room, Shirou's teammates are getting frustrated. "Hey, I know you wanna play hero, but you are stinking up the court out there. You better play harder in the second half!" "Relax, I know what I'm doing. Those idiots are more concerned about beating people up than winning." Babi throws a chair at one of the lockers. "This is ridiculous! They are fouling us left and right out there!" Red gets up in Babi's face. "Then foul them right back!" "I did!" The two Handsome Boys have a stare down. Leo and Kano have to hold them back. "Come on, boys! Get your heads in the game!"

Both teams head back out for the start of the 3rd quarter. The Rebels start out hot, almost taking the lead. Red's got the ball, passes to Shirou. Dante's guarding Shirou, but he just flies right by the defense and drives it in for a slam dunk. The Rebels take the ball down, Willow passes Rob who sinks an under the leg layup. Babi gets the ball, passes it to Kano. Kano hits a bounce pass to Shirou. Again, Shirou just blows right by the defense, driving the ball in. This time, Willow is waiting for him. The Worm King jumps up and lands down on top of Shirou. The ref blows the whistle. "Oh no, Willow's fouled out of the game! They are going to need a replacement."

Willow is pissed off. "What do you mean?! You can't kick me out!" Willow grabs the ref by the collar and throws him down on the court. "Well, great. Looks like we need a new Center." Dante notices Timothy dancing and prancing around. "Hey Timothy, go suit up!" Rob is stunned. "Whoah whoah whoah! That's who you want coming in?" The Handsome Boys have a good laugh. "Oh, this just keeps getting better." Kano walks over to the Rebels bench and starts hitting on Judith. Dante's sister is giggling like a school girl.

Wait Wormmon got taken out for hurting someone? Are we not supposed to be hurting someone. And what they have been throwing and what that guy has been saying, there was no rock was there. Luna went wide eyes for a moment finally realizing that she had been playing the entire game wrong, she shouldn't be punching people. Well she should they are jerks but she should do that later so she doesn't get in trouble for it, it made so much sense, not really. "Yuudai change of pace, no more hitting, or looking for rocks." Yuudai just looked at her having reached the same conclusion himself.

From there on Luna and Yuudai started to perform, at least fifty percent better then they had been since they no longer spent time looking for rocks that don't exist or punching people for balls that wouldn't appear right after. "Oh hey Timothy." Yuudai said with a wave as he put his jersey on. "Oh, whoops." Luna said not fully paying attention, apprently she was wrong that was a guy not a girl. What girl is named Timothy anyway.

Timothy was doing surprisingly for only really playing basketball on occasion in school. He focused on passing it to his teammates unless he had a shot that would really work out well. Though when he saw the fouls, that were so blatantly obvious to the point someone like him could see them, he said, "That's too obvious..." He then looked at the rest of his team and back to the game, raced for the ball and go for a three-point shot.

Yokomon and Tokomon are still dancing around, somewhat boredly, trying to hope that this is doing anything.

"This is pointless!"

"This is embarassing..."

"Only for you!?"

"You're a girl, it's fine to wear a skirt as a human!"

"Oh... True..."

The ref may have been biased, but he still called the timeout. Luna and Dante walk over to the Handsome Boys bench. "Why, whatever do you mean? I was just saving my energy for the second half." Dante gets up in Shirou's face. "Don't think you are going to get away with this! Everyone can tell something's up. You've got the ref in your pocket, and you're using some kind of power up!" "Easy, Dante. Bleh, your breath smells like smoke." Dante tightens his fist and decks Shirou in the face, knocking him down.

Shirou gets up and wipes the blood off on his wrist. "So this is what you want? Fine by me." Shirou kicks Dante in the groin and tackles him. The two Tamers tumble around on the floor, trading punches. Rob rushes over to step in, as the rest of the Handsome Boys come over to try and pull them apart. Babi decks Rob in the face, and Rob responds by elbowing Babi right back and dropping him with a punch of his own. Kano grabs Rob, but Rob decks him in the face also. Judith rushes over to check on Kano. "No! Rob how could you punch such a pretty face?!"

At this point, it turns into a full on brawl. The refs step in, trying to break it up. Dante grabs Shirou by the shoulder and wraps his arm around his neck, locking in a rear naked choke. Eventually the dust settles, and both teams go back to their benches. The refs decide not to throw anyone out, as both teams would be just about empty. They decide to start calling the game fair, and Shirou deactivates the power ups he used during half time. The game finally resumes.

Timothy sinks some nice baskets. Red Flunow has a wonderful slam dunk. Shirou goes back to being the weak link on the Handsome Boys. Dante sinks a long distance 3. Luna and Yuudai continue sinking baskets with a very high percentage. With 2 seconds left, The Rebels are down by 2. Rob shoots a very long distance shot, it bounces around on the rim, but goes in. The score at the end of the 3rd quarter, The Rebels 88, The Handsome Boys 87.

Strangely Luna and Yuudai stayed out of the fighting. She wasn't sure if she should beat anyone up, or if they should do something more productive. So instead of fighting Luna just threw the ball at the basket, Luna and Yuudai took turning doing that in order to practice doing stuff like that. After all they weren't very good at all of this.

The third quarter was done and they were in the lead, sweet just got to focus and beat this. We can do this right? Yuudai looked over at Timothy before shrugging. "No worries, just glad you didn't forget me.

Outside everything.

Yasuo finally made it to the warehouse after walking around, he knew since two motorcycles were here and the Limo he saw. Yasuo walked over before knocking on the door wondering what was going on.
