Chapter 6 - The Sleeping predator

As the clock ticked 55 minutes and 23 seconds, Charas Bay orchestrated a masterful play, passing the ball with precision to Bruno Andre.

The Red Belz FC players moved in perfect harmony, their short and long linkup plays a symphony of movement as they skillfully dribbled past the Devertary United formation, leaving their opponents in awe.

"With an uncanny intuition, Ruyne Ness anticipated the opposition's next move, visualizing the sequence of events unfolding before him. As James Cornel received the pass, Ness burst into action, sprinting forward with electrifying speed.

Cornel, unaware of the danger lurking, released the ball to Real Basilisk, but Ness had already foreseen this scenario. With a seamless blend of speed and agility, he intercepted the pass, collecting the ball with precision before unleashing a powerful shot that thundered into the pitch."

"Leon collected the ball from Ness and burst into a blistering run, surging towards the Red Belz FC goalpost with pace and purpose. As he approached the penalty area, he unleashed a pinpoint accurate long pass to Axel, who was lurking on the periphery.

However, Axel's progress was immediately halted by the imposing figure of Gust Hail. Undeterred, Axel sprang into action, deftly flicking the ball over Gust Hail's outstretched challenge. But, in a cruel twist of fate, the ball was nudged further away from Axel's grasp, leaving him stretching in vain to recover it."

"Verlo Law burst into action, sprinting from his defensive position onto the pitch with lightning speed. With incredible agility, he expertly controlled the ball with his chest, trapping it with his leg in a fluid motion.

In one swift movement, he unleashed a powerful, long cross that soared across the field, finding its target in Daniel Conan, the clinical Red Belz FC center-forward."

"Daniel Conan showcased his exceptional skill, controlling the ball with the deftest of touches, using the tip of his boot to guide it as his leg stretched out in a majestic arc. With the ball now under his command, Conan delicately flicked it over his head, releasing a perfectly weighted pass that found its way to Bruno Andre.

Andre, with his trademark flair, curved a sublime pass around the Devertary United defenders, Guwen Ramon, Cole Isaac, Dan Chris, and Damian Night, who were left scrambling to recover. The pass ultimately found its intended target, the waiting Cedric Harrison, who was now poised to unleash a decisive attack."

"In a heart-stopping moment, Ruyne Ness stretched every fiber of his being to barely nick the ball with the tip of his boot, sending it careening off course. The ball fell invitingly to Charas Bay, the lurking predator, who had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the chaos on the pitch, Bay unleashed a thunderous direct shot that left the Devertary United defense reeling. The ball soared through the air, a perfect arc of power and precision, before crashing into the back of the net, sending the crowd into raptures."

"The stadium erupted into a frenzy of noise as the Red Belz FC fans unleashed a deafening scream of jubilation. Their captain, Charas Bay, had just scored a crucial goal, rekindling their team's hopes of a comeback.

The scoreboard now read Devertary United 2, Red Belz FC 1, and the atmosphere was electric. The Red Belz FC faithful, clad in their team's colors, waved their scarves and banners wildly, their faces etched with a mix of relief and renewed optimism.

The goal had injected new life into the match, and the Red Belz FC supporters sensed that their team might just snatch an equalizer and send the game into a thrilling finale."

"As the clock ticked 75 minutes and 47 seconds, the intensity of the match was palpable. Wolf Deo spotted Ruyne Ness, who was visibly exhausted, his legs heavy with fatigue.

Undeterred, Deo approached Ness with a fierce determination burning in his eyes. 'One more push, Ness!' Deo urged, his voice low and urgent. 'Help me launch one final counterattack. We have 15 minutes left to turn this game around!' Ness, drawing on his last reserves of energy, nodded resolutely.

The crowd held its collective breath as the referee awarded a kick-off to Devertary United, with Wolf Deo poised to take the play, ready to ignite the spark that would propel his team forward in the dying embers of the match."

"Wolf Deo cleverly initiated a counter-attacking move, releasing the ball to Leon, who sprinted forward with blistering pace. But, in a cunning move, Leon suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing his run to an abrupt halt.

The Red Belz FC players, anticipating a continued attack, were caught off guard by Leon's unexpected stop. Seizing the opportunity, Leon swiftly played the ball backwards, finding Ruyne Ness, who had been lurking in the shadows.

Ness burst into life, accelerating past Leon, who trailed closely behind, as they launched a swift and dangerous counter-attack."

"Ruyne Ness gazed out onto the pitch, his eyes scanning the landscape with a calculating intensity. He visualized the intricate web of players, anticipating the unfolding drama. With a masterful flourish, Ness utilized Leon as a decoy, positioning him as a 'shadow' to distract the opposing defenders.

Seizing the moment, Ness slipped the ball to Nicolas Ronoa, who received it with instinctive ease. In a breathtaking display of skill, Ronoa curved the ball with precision, directing it towards the most vulnerable point in the goal area, where the slightest miscalculation would prove disastrous for the opposing team."

"As the intricate play unfolded, Wolf Deo watched with hawk-like intensity, his eyes burning with strategic fervor. Anticipating the perfect moment to strike, he hissed a single, urgent command to Shark: 'Wake up and prey!, don't you want to become the Devertary United predator how can you be sleeping ',The words were a catalyst, sparking Shark into action.

With a burst of adrenaline, Shark sprang to life, homing in on the ball like a predator sensing its quarry, ready to pounce and seize the initiative."

"Shark exploded into action, dashing forward with lightning speed and precision. With a predatory instinct, he snatched the ball from the unsuspecting Axel, intercepting the pass mere inches from his outstretched foot.

Knowing that controlling the ball would invite immediate pressure, Shark made a split-second decision. As he launched himself off the ground, he delicately tipped the ball, using the momentum to generate power.

With unerring accuracy, the ball soared directly towards the brightest point on the post, a spot Shark had intuitively identified as the most vulnerable.

Time seemed to slow as the ball hurtled towards its target, Shark's vision and execution merging in a breathtaking display of skill and athleticism."

"As the ball crashed into the net, Shark sprinted towards the sideline, his arms outstretched in triumph. His teammates, ecstatic and relieved, rushed to congratulate him, forming a jubilant huddle that erupted in cheers and laughter.

The crowd, electrified by the dramatic finale, burst into a frenzy of applause and cheers, their energy infectious and deafening. As the celebrations reached a fever pitch, the referee's whistle pierced the air, signaling the end of the match.

Amidst the chaos, Ruyne Ness was presented with the Man of the Match award, a testament to his outstanding performance. Meanwhile, Shark basked in the adoration of the crowd, his debut hat-trick etched in the memories of all who witnessed it.

As the Devertary United players celebrated their hard-fought victory, Shark's name was on everyone's lips, his star rising with every passing moment."
