Supa Strikas: Play Through It to Own It

Ep 28: Sky's the Limit

Hey guys! Kalina here! Welcome to another episode of Supa Strikas. And being a part of a team, you have to work as a team, and not just the players. Our supporters are just as important, but what happens when you take out one of them? Will the team itself fall apart? Let's find out. It's game time!

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

Bleep-Bloop-Bleep

*Scribbling*

"...Huff..."

"Excuse me, miss Kalina...we finished delivering the last notes."

"Thanks boys."

Five minutes after security leaves, I decide to do the same.

[My name is Kalina Mokena. I'm Supa Strikas' physical fitness trainer and fellow soccer player.]

Creak

"Hey guys~."

"Woah, you look beat, cuz."

"(Yawns) Did not sleep a wink yesterday."

I stretch my back as Coach approaches me.

"Thanks for your hard work, Kalina."

"Yeah...thanks a lot."

"I know you're my best friend, El M, but you better shut up, be grateful, and read those notes like your life depends on it."

"Alright—alright, I will! Please, don't hurt me."

"Never mess with an angry woman, bro," Cool-Joe advises.

"We'll take it from here. Go get something to eat and rest until tomorrow's game."

"I have no objections, so~ Kalina out. Peace!"

I smile when some of my friends chuckle as I wearily leave the room.

[What was I doing? Well, like most of my adventures, it starts with soccer.]

>>>>>>>FLASHBACK>>>>>>>

KICK!

TAP!

FWOOM!

[It looks like we have a strategic battle on our hands, Mac.]

[You said it, Brenda. Orion are using their tried and tested black hole formation to control the midfield, but Supa Strikas aren't being sucked in. They're holding their shape and hitting Orion with lighting fast counterattacks.]

BAM

SNATCH!

The fans groan when the goalie catches El Matador's shot.

[60 minutes gone by and it's all square. It's gonna take something real special to win this one.]

[Well, Mac...orion have something special in their in their brilliant Coach Black. He's quickly built up a reputation as a true footballing genius .]

[Well I've heard that Strikas have quite the footballing genius of their own.]

"You could say that."

I look to see Professor concocting coffee from his experimental tubes and such.

[I asked Coach to bench me so I could analyze our game against Orion FC. Old habits are hard to break. Anyway, I was at the fitness institute with the Prof as we watch on his big screen TV in the lab.]
