Galaxy Ball
CHP3: Training Camp
A few weeks have conceded, as each and every team has been training vigorous within their arenas. Forted sits within an office with the rest of his council, discussing the details on when they will broadcast their event to the other planets. They decide to set up a press conference, with Fortred informing everyone.
Deserted Island
A stadium has been built for the seals that in whom practice routs. The ball is snapped to Crash who hands it off to Funky Kong, but is stopped at once. The defense read the play coming up the middle with a blitz. The play results in a loss of six yards. A defender helps Funky Kong to his feet, afterward both players get back on their sides of the field. The ball again is snapped to Crash, who takes a few steps back. He looks down the field for his Tight end a Goron gunning the ball into his chest! The offence picks up thirteen yards, before the player runs out of bounds. Everyone on the field wears pads helmets etc. Funky Kong Looks around, at everyone’s jersey’s which look to be over twenty years old and tattered.
“I can’t wait until they provide us with our actual attire, when game day begins in another three month’s! Hopefully our team logo doesn’t look screwy.” Funky Kong Whispers into Crash’s ear.
The bandicoot replies by just nodding.
“Alright everyone, we are going to run one more play before we send you all out on a break.” The team leader tells.
Crash has difficulties with the communications piece in his helmet, and has to walk off of the field to get the play from the offensive coordinator. After this is done, he runs back onto the field. At the line of scrimmage Crash sends Skid Mcmarx in motion. The ball is snapped to him, as the defense comes with a full force blitz! The Bandicoot looks up field and is hit as he throws. Skid jumps up to make the catch but it is too high, and ends in an incompletion. The team leader steps out onto the field.
“I want you all in the locker room within the next ten minutes; I have something important to update you all with. Afterward we will return back on the field for some exercises.”
Most of the players head directly to the locker room.
Dream Land
The Bleach brother players, all stand within their locker room suiting up. All of them get ready to take the field. All players do this hurriedly, as they know there is a lot to be done throughout the day. When on the field, the players set their helmets to the side. The head coach walks around with a clipboard to make sure that all players are on the field, calling off each name. This process is finished without delay.
“Alright gentlemen, before we begin our frequent practice session we will begin with some exercises. I want you all to be in great shape, so when training camp is over you will all scamper through our contesters!”
The group is sent off running laps from the end zone, to the fifteen yard line and back. They continue doing the same process, but switch to a different exercise after some time. One of the player’s slows down getting drowsy; the coach notices this and has the group go even longer. He has them stop after another few minutes.
“As a whole group you all did very well, don’t worry as we continue to exercise you will all get stronger. Over time it will get easier, I’m just pushing you all hard so that you will be ready! I would like to create a playoff team here in Dreamland; if you all work hard we can do it.”
The players listen to their coach speak aloud. After he is done talking, he gives the group a break before the official practice begins. The offensive players proceed to the field with their helmets ready to begin. Waluigi looks down at the plays he has strapped onto his arm. He calls his team into a huddle.
“This should be an automatic completion if you all do your part. This is going to be play hg4, a screen to WR Kirby. I need you players of the line to do a good job, unlike the last few days. Their blitz schemes are something that we need to overcome.” Waluigi tells.
The huddle is broken with the offensive players getting in position. The defensive players are on the field shortly and the session commences. The ball is snapped to Waluigi, as a group of defenders rip through the line and take him down. The defensive coordinator applauds his defense. Waluigi is helped to his feet by Vector the Croc. The Offensive players follow Waluigi back into the huddle.
“As I said before, I need the line to hold up for longer. This time we are doing play qs2, I want all receivers up field. If they are thinking, the defense will play man to man.”
The huddle is broken as each player returns to his proper position. Waluigi takes the snap and instantly can see the blitz. Waluigi runs to his right trying to avoid another sack, he is grabbed from behind as he releases the ball. This one is intercepted, but the defender doesn’t get far as he is tackled by an offensive line men. Waluigi shakes his head aggravated. He again directs his team into a huddle.
“We as the offence need to start putting something together, this defense has been destroying us for the past couple days now.”
Waluigi looks at the plays with on his arm band, choosing yet another play. The offence gets back in their positions. But this time Waluigi picks up the blitz before the ball is even snapped to him. He sends Kirby in motion. The instant the ball is snapped to him, Waluigi moves around in the pocket while looking up field. His line holds the defenders long enough for him to launch a rocket! The ball zooms out soaring into the air, with an almost perfect spiral. Kirby is alone with the closes defender a good five yards back. With much concentration the pink being jumps up making the catch! He runs for another fifteen yards before leaping into the end zone and celebrating. A smile appears on the face of Waluigi, very pleased with the play. It was a completion of 72 yards.
“That is what happens if you blitz us too much, eventually they will be burned for it. Just like this play.” Waluigi tells Vector.
The Croc smiles as well, ecstatic with the play. Kirby returns down the field only to be taken off to the side. Another receiver is put in, so that he could rest up after the long completion.
Hyrule Field
The team known as the Legends practice and train hard throughout their stadium. Link walks off of the field and over to the offensive coordinator. The Hylian puts his arm up, pointing down to a specific play on his arm band.
“I like the route Banjo runs on this play, but we have both seen his speed and I think his route should change. The other receiver is fine, but I think we should make some adjustments to this play, so we can hit Banjo up the field a little further.” Link suggests
The coordinator opens his play book, looking for Play S1. He finds it after flipping through a few pages, and looks it over. Looking over at Link he smiles while pulling out a pen.
“I’m definitely going to agree with your request; he is a very fast individual. You will now need to throw the ball to this point; the two of you just need to get the timing down.”
Link puts his helmet back on while walking onto the field. The Hylian gets back in his position. Link yells out something to his offence noticing something familiar from the defense. The ball is snapped to Link, who hands it off to Crunch. The bandicoot finds a hole to run through, lowering his shoulders he is taken down by two defenders. The play results in a gain of seven yards. Link takes his offence into a huddle.
“Good work so far today, you have all done fine. Lets try play av5.” Link tells, looking down on his arm band.
The offence returns to their standpoints. The ball is snapped to Link, faking the hand off to Crunch he looks up field. He punt fake’s to Banjo looking to the other side of the field he has a player open. Stepping up he throws the ball putting a lot of zip on it. King Boo makes the catch, but is pushed out of bounds after a gain of seventeen yards. The Offence moves up the field as they continue. The ball is snapped to Link, with defenders coming at him from all directions. The pocket collapse as Link runs forward, stopping in place. The Hylian launches the ball into the air! Banjo is double covered running into the end zone all three players jump up for the ball. Surprisingly Banjo comes down with the ball! Link and the rest of the offence are thrilled, by his great effort. Banjo along with the defensive players walks down the field to return with everyone.
“Wow Banjo that was a really amazing catch. You sure do have good hands.” Link says.
Banjo walks over to the Hylian, patting him on the shoulder.
“I couldn’t have done it without the tremendous pass.” Banjo replies.
Link responds by smiling. The head coach walks onto the field.
“Before I send you all out on your thirty minute break, we are going to practice the two minute drill. It is quite apparent that you are able to put away a game when on top.”
Players on both sides of the ball get into their spots, getting ready for the exercise. A few miles away, Princess Peach enjoys a hot bubble bath within Hyrule castle. The princess looks up at the ceiling, thinking about her kingdom. It bothers her, not knowing if everything is ok. Her thoughts are interrupted as someone knocks at the door. She slides up revealing the upper part of her body.
“Who is it?”
“No need to panic Princess Peach, I’m just a messenger sent from the central vestibule. I’m just letting you know that Princess Zelda will be returning to the castle within the next ten minutes.”
“Ok, thanks.”
The guy leaves afterward. The Princess finishes shortly after, stepping out of the tub drying off with two towels. She wraps one over her hair, and the other over her body. Making her way out of the bathroom she feels refreshed, leaping onto the bed laying back. It isn’t long before the door to her room is opened. She looks up to see Zelda, who closes the door behind her.
“I hope your enjoying your stay here in Hyrule so far. We have cheerleading practice this evening, but afterward we are going to have dinner down in the dinning room. Their will be a lot of guests, I just thought I would inform you.” Zelda tells.
Peach sits up looking at her, as the two of them smile.
“That sounds good.” Peach replies.
Zelda leads Peach over to a closet so that she can find a dress to wear for the occasion.
Down Town
Station Square
A stadium has been constructed and built for the Speed Dodgers. Special shoes have been provided for Sonic, Shadow and anyone else who has over the top speed! It slows them down to a playing level of almost everyone. Sonic hands the ball off to Samurai Goroh, who runs up the middle breaking tackles. He is finally taken down after a gain of twelve yards. The offence moves up, before getting in position again. The ball is snapped to Sonic, a blitz is preformed by the defense, but the line holds. This gives sonic time, punt faking to Shadow he throws the ball to his tight end. They pick up nine yards. Sonic decides to take his team into a huddle.
“Nice job everyone, I especially want to give credit to the line you guy’s are giving me loads of time to do things. Anyhow let’s go with RL2.0, I smell the end zone. These guys’s are probably expecting us to try and pick up small yards.” Sonic tells.
The huddle is broken up, as the players get in their rightful spots. Sonic sends one of his receivers in motion as the ball is snapped to him. The hedgehog steps back looking up field, smiling. He bullets the ball into the air with a flawless spiral, Shadow out runs everyone with the closes defender ten yards behind him. Shadow looks over his shoulder, making the catch running into the end zone for a 51 yard completion. A lot of defenders shake their heads over the blown coverage. Shadow returns down the field with the ball.
“Great catch pal, couldn’t have done it better myself.” Sonic tells Shadow.
The head coach comes out onto the field, informing the offence to practice a hurry up offence.
“This should be fun, I’m all about speed.” Sonic adds.
Both the offensive and defensive players get into their positions. The ball is snapped to Sonic who runs to his right, seeing nothing open he tosses the ball to his running back. Samurai Goroh picks up over four yards. The hedgehog gets his players to the line. The ball is snapped to him. Sonic guns the ball in the direction of Shadow, but a defender knocks it away. Sonic has the ball snapped to him again, but this time a defender comes in un touched taking him down for a loss of three. The hedgehog gets up instantly shaking it off.
“Watch for the blitz guys, we can’t afford to give up yards.” Sonic tells.
Sonic signals for the ball, as it is snapped to him immediately. The Hedgehog scuttles around within the pocket; one of the line men falls over as two defenders come through. Sonic does the smart thing and makes a run for it. He dashes off to his left where there is a great deal of just green grass in front of him. Sonic picks up fourteen yards before he slides down.
IsleDelfino
A football stadium has been built for a team called the Ultra Bros. Mario runs around in the pocket trying to get away from the pressure, but is sacked by Petey Piranha for a loss of 8 yards.

Petey Piranha comes from the side taking him down for a loss of three yards. The entire defense applauds the plant for his great effort!
“I can tell you this for sure when it comes to playing the many teams in a few months; Petey will really be a difference maker on defense. He has been making big stops for the last few weeks.”
The defensive coordinator talks with the head coach. Mario decides to take his offence into a huddle.
“Mammia if we want to get something going, I need at least two to three guys blocking Petey. He is just too dangerous.”
Mario discusses with his line men on what he wants, and calls the play afterward. Heading back to their places, Mario feels a bit more confident. He takes the snap, stepping back a few yards the defense comes with a blitz. The plumber slides to his left, looking up field. Petey and another defender break through the line coming after Mario who steps up to throw. Yoshi makes a perfect catch fifteen yards up, but is not taken down instantly as a defender misses the tackle. The dino runs for another ten yards before he is brought down. It results in a completion of twenty five yards.
“That is more like it, but aside from that we have one tough defense.” Mario says.
Shy Guy shakes his head agreeing. All players move up the field, to the point of where Yoshi was stopped. Mario signals for the ball and gets it, stepping back a bit. He finds Yoshi, launching the ball into his chest. The Dino makes the catch but is taken down by Petey and another defender. They only pick up five yards on the play. The head coach yells out on the sideline getting everyone’s attention.
“That will be enough for today, you guys can head into the locker room and go get cleaned up.”
Everyone does that except for Mario, who notices someone sitting over on a bench. He walks over to the individual taking a seat next to her, and taking his helmet off.
“What are you doing here so early? Doesn’t the practice session for you all begin in another hour?” Mario asks.
“Yes that is true, but I thought I’d stop by a little earlier so that I could see you.” Rosalina tells.
Mario smiles while giving her a hug.
“That is really nice of you; I will see you at the hotel back on Sirena beach. I need to go get cleaned up.” Mario tells.
“Ok see yah later.”
The princess takes another lick of her chocolate snow cone, watching Mario heading to the locker room.
