Chapter 11: Game’s Final Half-Dane’s Return
It was finally time for the second half with Dane pumped up and ready to begin his first game out of retirement. When the heard that Dane was going to be playing in the game for the Cowboys, everybody jumped up onto their feet. You could hear cheering from all sides of the arena, shouting for Dane to reveal himself at the halftime show, but he never showed up. The fans became restless shouting louder and louder beating n the seats in front of them, and there were even people shaking the railing down by the entrances.
Dane then had no choice but to go out there and show his face at the concert. When he was on his way out, he was carrying his specialized microphone ready for his pretty long speech for the fans about the whole football game. “Hey everybody out there! The rumors are true that I am going to be coming back to play football with the Cowboys this year. I am back in action for another long season, and ready for the huge fight to the top both this season and next. Do you think the teams will survive these long fought seasons without getting exhausted like I do? I have been in a coma for about five years but now after being pushed into entering again I am. So all you teams out there better watch out, because I am back and better than ever. And good luck to all of you out there in your games and I will meet one of you guys at the super bowl because I am hyped up and we will, I repeat we will win the super bowl!” The crowd just chanted Dane’s name as a large uproar was created by the Terminators and the Terminator fans.
“No, you better watch out. You think you will make it to the super bowl I really do not think so. It is about time for somebody to take the better man of the team out like I did to the other player earlier. You really thought that it was accidental? Well I guess you are not as smart as most people thought you were. I am here to dominate and I will dominate if I want to.” Devon Determine said trying to look as touch as he thought possible, but I guess he was wrong. He was just even more hated than he was when he walked into the arena for the game.
Dane just stared at him showing him that he knew that Devon was being extremely stupid, as he turned his head to the referees and just nodded. “Well. I guess the whole reason you came here is to dominate all forces in front of yours and destroy all enemies like terrorists. But all you’re doing is standing there being a complete idiot acting like you were Mr. number one. It is about time for a change, and that change is for you to feel the pain that you have been inflicting upon everybody around. The fans came here to see a good sportsman like game, but all we have seen is fighting and injury causing throughout the game. I am never going to let you continue with this destruction, because I am going to end it right here before it ever gets out of hand. The rest of this game will involve no penalties, and near the end of the game you will be the ones who have the lower hand in this game. My team and I will make it to the super bowl and you will be the ones being terminated.” Dane shouted out throwing the mic down on the ground with frustration encouraging havoc.
Devon Determine looked straight to Dane and lifted the mic back up to his lips. “Whoa there Dane. We have came this far and we are not going to win it under no rules. But if you and your team want more people injured in this game, it is fine by me. I am the best defensive lineman ever drafted and I will destroy every man who tries to get in my way. So, if you want to get in my way, then come on and I will fight you all the way to the final second.” Devon Determine said turning around to face his team and just nodded to them and the team nodded back knowing what he just asked from them. The Terminators charged out to meet with Dane and the Cowboys, ready for the biggest battle for the super bowl spot that they have ever fought through.
The referees ran out to stand in front of them to hold the two teams off, so that the fighting does not get out of hand. “This game will be scheduled under no penalties and anything goes. This part of the game will only include two minute quarters, making it a total of four minutes throughout the rest of the game. So, both teams keep it fair because I do not want any of you all to be laying on the ground passed out or injured.” The referee said dropping the microphone down with the start of the third quarter coming to a start.
The Terminators turned around and walked themselves off to their side of the field and got their play prepared for the first drive of the quarter. The Cowboys had their chance to start the game off and the advantage to win the game was given to them. They stood there looking at Dane, just laughing remembering what he had said to mess up the other quarter back. Dane just laughed along with them, as he started to walk up to the field to get ready for the kick return. He knew that this half of the game will get bloody and brutal so he decided to fight back against the Terminators and got ready for his big debut back with the Cowboys. The team just followed after him, as the Terminators just stared the Texas Trillomy down just laughing at the status of their team.
It was the time for the kick off as Dane turned to the guy beside him, and just pointed to the infield where he believed it would be coming back at. He was ready for the bloodiness of the biggest fight he has ever been through. Watching the kicker run forwards to kick the ball, he watched as it was kicked high up into the air and just stood there waiting for the ball to fall. The ball fell right into his hands, as Dane started to run. With him running, the backup came in and started to got everybody right in the facemask pulling all the players on defense down. With no penalties it was about time that Dane rushed right through them with a rush of agility pushing them down with his right arm as he ran. It was around the forty yard line of the Terminators before they even took Dane down . Grabbing the facemask, they took him down, a little more than the forty yard line but it was rounded down to the forty yard line.
Dane just stared up at the tackler, Devon Determine, with a very cruel expression on his face, and lifted his hand up to grab a hold of Devon’s face mask to roll over and push him down to the ground. “You think you are smart don’t you? It will take more than that to take the D man out.” Dane said getting up to his feet, spitting down on Devon’s face. Devon pulled himself up to his feet, and ran after Dane and grabbed his neck and tried to push him down. Grabbing a hold of his neck, he would have a man from his team, run up to Dane and push into him, helping Devon take him out. Finally, Kevin Hayden ran out to the fight and pulled Devon up off of Dane and pulled his facemask off of him. He then grabbed a hold of Devon’s head and punched him right in the nose, making it bleed internally. With the punch, Devon would fall backwards to the floor, as the officials grabbed Kevin by the arms.
“You think I am done with you? Well you are dead wrong. Nobody messes with my buddy Dane except for me, you got it? Dane was right, somebody needs to take you out, and that somebody will be me, so watch your back before I have to come up on you and totally destroy you. Remember, no rules means that I can kick your ass anytime I want, and that means that everything that is going on right now is legal and I will come back at you and kick your scrawny little butt you got that?” Kevin just yelled out at Devon, meaning very word he said seriously and those words threatened Devon terribly. Dane jumped to his feet and walked over to Devon and got down on his knees and grabbed his head and threw a quick jab to his face, hitting him right in the forehead giving him a killer headache and a huge spot on his face. This pair meant everything they said and they will give it all they can to get revenge on this man for insulting this team like he just did.
Dane then got up off of him. “How does it feel to be jumped, huh? That is how everybody that you have injured feels and it was about time to make you feel the same way. But we are not done with you yet, just wait until after the game. Good luck getting up and attacking me after that, because it is not over until I say it is over. You got it?” Dane said with disgust towards Devon, as he added insult to injury when he spit down at Devon’s face and totally insulted him a little too much. The fighting continued when the team ran back out and started to join in with the fight, as Johnny Ahmed ran out and jumped Dane and Kevin at the same time clothes lining them to the floor with a harsh powerful blow. This one blow took both of them down, as they fell forward on their faces into a puddle of mud.
Johnny just laughed walking over to Devon and grabbing his arm to help him up. Devon’s nose was still bleeding terribly as Devon just pushed Johnny’s arm away and tried to get up himself checking his nose. The officials just thundered out and grabbed the men and pulled them backwards away from each other. It was a smart call for the officials since this fight could destroy every chance to get this game going. A fan in the front row jumped out of his seat and jumped over the barricade to interfere in the fight, as he grabbed Johnny and punched him in the back of the head. This thud made Johnny fall right down onto the ground, with his nose bleeding. Once he got that job done, the fan then ran straight to the barricade and jumped right over it and started to run out and away from the arena before he could get caught. Dane just continued laughing pushing himself free and backing off from the fight followed by Kevin to the leave the whole situation so that it could get worked out through the officials.
The officials just turned to the players, before helping them all up. Dane just stared down Devon with his nose still bleeding, figuring out why the team was called The Terminators in the first place. Dane turned to the team and just laughed with them seeing the sight of the loser known as Devon Determine. The team quickly picks out a play as the fans were extremely amused at all the fighting and the action going on in the field. Devon just stared down Dane ready to jump him again, but Johnny just held him back.
“Save it for the field now Devon. You will have your chance to take him out but right now lets focus. We have to win this game tonight or else we are out of the tournament. I know we are called the Terminators but we still have to keep our head in the came. Destroying everybody around will not help any, so lets just make this game nice and fair here, all right?” Johnny explained.
Devon just kicked back and got him in the nuts making him fall backwards to the ground. This move was very stupid on Devon’s part because Johnny got extremely pissed off at him. Johnny charged at Devon and pulled him back to the ground. “Nobody kicks me like that. You want to screw around, I have all the time in the world to screw around but do not be ruining my chances to make it to the super bowl, and if you want a piece of me, then bring it on.” he said inviting the fight to occur.
Johnny looked to Dane and nodded, as Johnny raised his foot directly up in the air to prepare to drop it on Devon’s head. Lowering his foot, he smashed Devon right into the ground, making the injury even worse than the officials believed. Now Johnny was out there betraying his own team. The fans just stared noticing that Johnny was being betrayful as the Terminators fans threw tomatoes at his head, aiming for the back of his head but ended up getting his back. Dane looked at Johnny and extended his arm out looking like he was ready to give him a handshake to allowing him to enter the team. Kevin just laughed at Devon, as Johnny extended his own arm out to shake hands with Dane, as the deal was made. Johnny was then officially signed to the Trillomy team, who was close enough to defeating the Terminators hands down.
The officials looked down, but this look was in confusement. “This game will have to be rescheduled. Due to all the fighting, the game is over and we will have to give the game to the Trillomy. They were up by one, so according to the game rules, the game is over after fighting broke out, and I will have no choice but the end this madness and award Trillomy the shot to go to the super bowl to play against the Driving Tigers. Nice game to you all, and good luck in the super bowl, the Texas City Trillomy!” The referee announced walking off to the ticket booth, as the Terminators became furious but without their leaders, they had no choice but to retreat. The Trillomy just stared at them and laughed their head off.
“Welcome to the team Johnny. It is about time we get a player with your talent, defensive and offensive skills. We are proud to have you on our team. Thank you.” Dane said giving Johnny and short hug, before walking off to where the band was standing.
Mickey just stared at him with amazement, seeing him come towards him. “Great job out there tiger. You are going to the super bowl, or shall I say, we are going to the super bowl. I was signed just a couple minutes earlier, and I guess Johnny joined today after kicking your butt earlier. How could you allow a man like him to join the team. Don’t you think he is going to jump you later? He could be some major trouble along the way through the super bowl.” Mick said just before saying, “But I am here, and I will play at the super bowl, and we will win the trophy. But, right now lets go out and celebrate. There is a huge party down the road and we are invited. Lets go there and we will go back to your place in the morning. But for now, you better go out there and pick up Danielle, she is worried sick about you.” Dane just stared, as he turned around and saw Danielle walking up to him.
“Are you all right?” Danielle asked worryingly. Dane just put a hand on her shoulder and comforted her.
“I am all right. I totally destroyed that angry man striving for blood. But for now, I have two of the best football players on my team now, Mick and Johnny. Johnny was the one that just recently joined the team. With them on the team we will no doubt win at the super bowl.” Dane said. “I am bleeding a little bit but I am all pumped up, as you can see, for the concert tomorrow night. All I will need is a few stitches and I will be good to go.” Dane said hugging her tightly with his arms around her just squeezing her against his chest.
Mick looked at the band and reviewed. “The fans were going wild for us but without you, it really did not feel right. We need you there to be a real band, but since you went for the football career, I put these guys into the football team. We will be the starting five players in the offensive team. With all of us united, we will be unstoppable.” Mick said leading the band back to the van where they were loaded up for the long ride home. Mick and Dane just stared at each other walking separate ways, with Danielle by Dane’s side and Robby and Cooper waiting in the car for the ride back home. Dane looked to Danielle.
“I think I am going to ride with the guys. It will be the last chance I have to hang with them before the super bowl. Tell Cooper and Robby, that I have no hard feelings for them and that I will see them at the party tonight.” he said before kissing Danielle on the cheek, with Dane walking away to go to the van, but Danielle just decided to follow him. She grabbed out her cell phone and let the guys know that they will see them at the party later that day. Dane and Danielle arrived at the van, as they jumped up into the back of the truck, where Dane grabbed his guitar. They then shut the doors, and tuned in on their guitars.
