Soccer - Aincrad Excerpt! · 1:09am Nov 21st, 2020


Excerpt From Episode 81 - Coming Tuesday!


There were no SAO Soccer gifs.

Bladescape was lounging at the top of the stands, by the edge. Her butt was on the floorboard, while a pillow protected her back from the bench behind her. Her legs were draped over the bench in front, nestling her nicely between the boards.

From her position, she couldn't help but see the door open and Jade bring Knightstar into the courtyard. It was good to see Knightstar, even at this distance and in those scholar robes. Bladescape wasn't going to jump up and run to her friend. At this point, she still had no idea why she was here.

Thunderborne kicked at the ball. Only her toe clipped it, sending it way out of bounds. She had noticed Knightstar. Every player froze, first because that was not like Thunderborne to make such a simple mistake, and then because they saw who she was looking at. If they hadn't met Knightstar, they knew her face from some of the photos AFCK already had hanging up around the main building.

Bladescape knew that stopping the game wasn't going to help Twilight. Plus, they were on a short clock for their opening soccer match. Dinner would be ready soon.

"Thunder!" Bladescape yelled. "Get your head in the game! The Rainbooms only have a single goal lead on the Scorpions! You can't afford to lose that!"

Bladescape pointed at Knightstar. "Get over here before the ball is put back in play and you can't cross!"

Knightstar followed the order. Jade ducked back into the building to continue helping AFCK with dinner. They had to wait a few seconds for Knightstar to finish getting across before the ball was put into play again. The game resumed as if it had never been interrupted.

Knightstar didn't climb up into the bleachers. She walked to the side, standing below Bladescape. Bladescape looked down at her. Knightstar was confused, unsure what was going on. It was trumping any nerves she had. It was an advantage Sunset Shimmer wasn't going to waste.

"I said get over here!" Bladescape exclaimed. Her lips slipped into a warm smile as she extended her hand down to her friend. "Come on up."

Knightstar paused, looking up at her, and then she grabbed her hand tightly. It wasn't hard for her to put her feet on some of the braces and climb up. She stepped over Bladescape and sat down beside her.

"I only just found out you moved. Like half an hour ago," Knightstar said.

"A lot has changed," Bladescape shrugged.

Astro slipped the ball past Kate and then kicked it. Backbreaker was good, but this time Astro outsmarted her and Backbreaker dove the opposite way of where the ball went. The game was tied 3 to 3.

"Come on!" Bladescape screamed. "I thought you guys had this! Thunderborne and Backbreaker, what could go wrong!"

lol honestly, that's the best way to start things... casually.

"I thought you guys had this! Thunderborne and Backbreaker, what could go wrong!"

landslide defeat coming

Either that, or they've got a monster attack, a summons to the front line...

And I haven't even read chapter one!

"Come on!" Bladescape screamed. "I thought you guys had this! Thunderborne and Backbreaker, what could go wrong!"

Congratulations my little pony you just doomed this game for them.
