Rin Itoshi-FINAL MATCHUP-

Blue lock 3-3 Japan U-20

the game had just restarted, with {user} going on a complete destruction, and with Rin running behind as her team scramble to contain their destruction.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Damn it. Damn it!! Damn you!‘

She manages to catch up to {user} and sticks a leg out as she slides tackles them, determined to make them notice her, but they just simply jump over her, like she was just an inconvenience, leaving her in the grass, and causing her to grit her teeth in anger.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: just how far ahead of me are you…?‘

She thinks back to that time when they were kids, playing side by side, Rin’s murderous curiosity over soccer, and {user}’s mentorship

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I know we used to be shoulder to shoulder..we had a real connection.‘

Then she thinks back to the snow years ago, {user} walking away with cold indifference, walking away from her as she breaks down into tears, her lowest moment.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: but your always leaving my behind..it’s that same old feeling, I’m losing my mind.‘

then she’s back on the pitch clenching her fists in anger, she hates the fact that she is reminding herself of that lukewarm tragedy, that was only a fluke, she needs to be better now, it was the past.

she gets up, and sprints to {user} again, Her mouth open, her face determined.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I’m going to change in this match..we are friends…if they can do it, so can I.‘

she continues to track them as they continues to destroy her team, analysing, as they nutmeg Yukimiya, Rin continues to monologue, seemingly pausing her anger, even the Japanese players were shocked by {user}’s play.

she remembers before she even played soccer, how when she was just a little girl, holding her figurines, watching her older friend beyond the large fence, easily get past the other kids, Rin also studies that memory, she needs all of the data she has.

{user} easily jumps over Hiori with the ball, almost like she wasn’t there, Rin continues to watch.

“Are you kidding me?” Hiori mutters, stunned as {user} lands in front of them, now pressing onward, Gagamaru gulps, “they are gonna do it by themselves?”

Rin continues to slowly chase, continuing to figure it out, they are unpredictable, then she sees Shidou on the right, running for the free space with her unmatchable pace, the dynamic duo, the chemistry.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: they want an uncalculable egoist..that’s why they chose Shidou over me..‘

Rin continues to chase, her teeth clenching harder as she continues,

‘Rin’s Thoughts: where is it? If I were {user}..how would I want to play? What would I desire from this moment??‘

Rim watches as {user} crosses it for Shidou, and Shidou jumps for it, her leg sticking out, her smile widening, and Rin also notes how good she is too. As Shidou’s lining up for the shot, Rin knew she had to do something, ANYTHING.

Rin jumps as high as she can, predicting this to be the beautiful spot for the shot.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: is this the place? You poor excuse of a friend.‘

Shidou doesn’t even care, as she delivers a powerful kick to Rin’s face, sending her to the floor along with her, the ref blows his whistle, goal kick, no card. Hiori quickly runs over to check on Rin.

Rin slowly pushes off Hiori “I’m fine.” she mutters, she’s not, but she also passes a sharp glance to {user}, almost like she did that on purpose so she could be noticed, and cared about.

As the game restarted, Rin passed the ball to Isagi, who in turn passed it to Meguru Bachira, who was in the mood for a goal, as she dribbles past the whole team and shoots, her monster trance, only for Shuto, the trash Japanese U-20 striker to clear it just as it was going in.

“Amateurs.” Rim mutters under her breath, as Oliver Aiku gets the pass and passes it to {user} who kicks the ball up to no one.

Rin clenches her teeth, they passed it to two people up top, only for Shuto to take the shot, but the striker misses again, then {user} gets it, and passes it to Oliver Aiku, the captain who ran all the way to the front line.

"unfortunately for you..I happen to be a former striker..this is the end for you, BLUE LOCK!” Aiku shouts with a smirk, firing the ball

“NO!” Rin yelps into action, sliding down and just barely gets a foot down, sending the ball away for a corner. Blue lock was fighting for their lives tho, as Nagi helps Rin up.

“They are going for a corner, mark everyone…especially Shidou.” Rin commands, as she was the captain, watching {user} walk to the corner flag to take it, once everything was in place, Rin prays to read their movements, as {user} prepares to take it, predicting it to be passed to Oliver Aiku, as she jumps up for it.*

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I’ll clear it! Just gotta get to it first!‘

but the ball just moves in front of her face, as she realises, this cross wasn’t for Aiku, it was for Shidou, game over, she’d lost

‘Rin’s Thoughts: it’s over..After all that..I still can’t beat {user}…‘

then suddenly someone barges next to Shidou, Yoichi Isagi, Rin’s eyes widen, “Isagi.” She whispers, as Isagi kicks the ball up and away, Rin was used as bait, as Hiori catches the ball, for one more counter.

while everyone runs off to the other side of the pitch, Rin stays, she doesn’t like Isagi interfering

‘Rin’s Thoughts: damn it…getting in my way…I can’t even lose without you..I want to fight alone..‘

then she realises, Isagi, and everyone else trusts her, to lead, Isagi, trying to befriend her, help her, as she looks over at Isagi.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: but Isagi…but everyone..Blue lock..is keeping up with my play? I’m not alone…? What is this..feeling?‘

she almost felt happy, her heart felt like it was healing, that feeling of loneliness from {user} disappearing, being together, not alone, she almost felt like she could close her eyes and let everyone cover it for her, except..

it was disgusting, togetherness, it was fucking HORRID! Her eyes widen in anger and insanity as her mouth opens.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: It makes me wanna puke…!'

she looks at Isagi, who was holding the ball, her main rival, competition…bitch.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I’ll MANGLE YOU!!‘

two minutes left in the game, Rin starts running forward, her arms flailing behind her as she doesn’t bother to use them, she doesn’t care, she steals the ball from Hiori, her own teammate and runs forward.

‘Thoughts: Screw that revenge shit. Screw that rivals shit. Screw that friends shit! Everything that binds me makes me sick.‘

her tongue lolls out as she enters her destroyer flow.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I’ll kill them all‘

she kicks the ball to the left with her outside foot, to deal with the first defender, Weru Teppei, a speedster, a pace merchant…a cunt. “you came here to see me…your tounge is out. watch your manners!!” Weru muses, Rin doesn’t give a fuck

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Drop dead shrimp..the weapon your so proud of is your speed..I’ll bait you into accelerating.‘

she feints left as she starts moving, and when Weru runs in, she nutmegs her without a second thought.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Then I’ll move the other way. AND ERASE YOU!‘

Weru gasps in shock as she’s left in an awkward angle, now biting the dust, as she moves without rationality, her tounge flying around her face like a sausage, as the second defender slides in. Darai Miroku.

“What’s your game here? Challenging me next?” Darai mutters, and Rin doesn’t respond.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: This is a massacre, you damned tattoo baldy, your weapon’s slipping around people..so I’ll take your place in the spotlight..‘

she passes it with her outside foot to Isagi, then she runs past Darai

‘Rin’s Thoughts: And END YOU!‘

Darai panics, running side by side with her, as Isagi lays a through ball for her, and before Darai can turn around, Rin places a hand on her shoulder, prohibiting Darai to move and turn, with an awkward angle from her heel.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: That’s two bugs crushed…squish squish..‘

the third defender comes in, a very physical and muscular centre back, Niou Kazuma, “Go ahead and try me! If you’re still in there you bastard!” Niou yells, just as panicked as the other girls.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Now for number three..he’s all about his physicality and oppressiveness, using a stable core as his main weapon..kill kill kill! If I put out some bait you can’t help yourself from tussling for possession!.‘

she flicks the ball upwards, and Niou falls for it, using her maximum hulk physique to jump for it, with an arm ahead as she twists sideways for the ball, perfect for Rin, as she jumps for it too, but plants a foot in front of her.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Know your place…PISS OFF! Old woman!‘

She uses her flat back to de balance Niou, causing her to fall on Rin’s back and roll off it, while Rin plants both foot on either side of her as she moves further to the goal, the promise land.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Centre of Gravity! Full burst!!‘

Niou had gone, and Rin had to deal with one more left, as it wasn’t quite a foul, as she continues to charge forward, the last defender slides in front of her, Oliver Aiku. “so that’s what your ego is? You’re pretty messed up aren’t you? Mr baby genius.” Oliver Aiku says confidently, her face filled with determination. Rin however, wipes her tongue along her mouth, coating it in saliva.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: One more left..I’ll tear it apart…destroy everything and every one that binds me…with this goal I’ll be reborn! One left..I’ll kill it…kill it..KILL IT!!‘

Aiku meanwhile prepares to buy time, smirking as she updates her defensive software, but upon seeing Rin dribble, she pauses, she’s unpredictable, and she has no chance of beating Rin’s until Shidou grabs Rin’s arm from behind, now doing a pincher move

Rin hates this freak, this ugly gay piece of shit, she hates everyone, as Aiku jumps forward for a double press, and when Isagi calls out for Rin, Shidou and Aiku panic, thinking Rin will pass it, but she doesn’t, and instead uses Isagi as bait as she runs further, causing shidou to stumble.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Stop trying to limit my potential! Get away from me Isagi! You parasite!‘

Rin looks to be taking a shot, with Isagi calling out to him, making her more deranged, as Aiku sticks a leg out to block the shot, but instead of shooting with her right foot, she quickly does a last minutes left tap feint, Aiku was defeated, but she manages to stabilise and charge into Rin.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: I’ll crush you into pieces!..I’ll mangle it all!!‘

Rin’s eyes widen, and she seemed to have one final trick in flow, as she lines up for the shot, her thoughts reduce to static, everything leading up to this..

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Die.‘

She fires a shot with her right foot, slipping past Aiku, and it looked to be a perfect finesse into the top right corner, only for it to clang onto the bar, she missed, even she was defeated, the entire stadium goes quiet.

then the ball falls in {user}’s feet, with them balancing it, Rin’s eyes widen, another lukewarm shot she always did, with one minute of extra time, this was the last chance

Shidou immediately sprints forward preparing for a cross, while {user} begins to run forward too, first Isagi, then jumping over Barou, then flicks it over Nagi, until Rin slides in front of {user}, her eyes enraged, wanting that ball, one of her cheeks red from the earlier kick from Shidou into her face.

‘Rin’s Thoughts: Kill…mangle…DESTROY!
