CHP7: Primetime battle
The moon stands out through the twilight sky along with the bright stars; as there is not a single cloud in sight. So far the event has attracted much positive attention, maybe Fortred's plan will in fact work. The stadium within Kongo Jungle holds over 42,000 spectators within the stands! Only a thousand are home inhabitants of the jungle, while the rest traveled from other planets to witness the late showdown between two division opponents. The crowd grows loud watching as the Primemates enter onto the field led by Donkey Kong.
"Well Matt this should be a good one, there isn't much we can say given the fact this will be our first time seeing either of these two in action. But I will say that DK has one heck of an arm, I've seen him throw Sixty to Eighty yards down the field. Him being an ape gives him the advantage of being one of, or if not the QB with the biggest arm in this 16 team league."
"I couldn't agree with you more Darrel; which is why I'm taking the home team in this game. From what I've heard, The Seals entire offensive scheme is based around a west coast system. We'll just see if that will be enough for them to keep up with the Primemates."
"You definitely have a point there; Crash Bandicoot might have to do a little more than dinking and dumping against this team. Just looking at some footage the other day, the secondary of the Primemates has a few question marks."
The broadcasters within the booth fill in all viewers tuning in, on the advantages and disadvantages for each team. On the field the home team won the coin toss but elects to differ; which will give them the ball first after the half. So far the game is living up to the hype with many on their feet. Waiting near the goal line is Vince a raptor from port city who catches the kickoff. He cuts it up to the right side with a lot of running room. The space closes quickly, so Vince sprints to the other side spinning out of one tackle but is then taken down at the 36 yard line. At this time the return squads for each team exits off the field. Diddy Kong walks over taking a seat next to DK.
"I had no idea I'd be this nervous, why'd they put us on primetime; now over billions will be focused on this one game." Diddy tells already sweating down the left side of his head.
DK pats Diddy on the shoulder pad a few times trying to comfort him.
"Don't worry once we're on the field you won't be so nervous. This team is goanna need you to stay focused, so don't disappoint." Donkey Kong informs.
Diddy stands up walking over and filling up his sports cup with some Gatorade. DK looks onto the field watching his defense get in position for the first drive against the Seals. Crash sends a man in motion who runs to the left side, receiving the ball and handing off to Funky Kong who runs straight ahead. He pushes the pile forward for two yards for a play that looked as if he would have lost two. On 2nd down Crash gets the ball rolling out to his left throwing to his tight end Jimbo, picking up three yards. On 3rd and 5 Crash steps back into shot gun. He looks over the defense setting an audible of the play. Taking the snapped ball, the bandicoot stands straight in the pocket observing the field. He steps up throwing a rocket across the middle intended for Skidd Mcmarxx who has the ball knocked away. But then a flag is thrown to the ground.
"Pass interference defense 25, ball wiil be placed at spot of the fowl; first down Seals." The official tells.
A lot of the audience boo in the result of the play. The ball is moved to the 48 yard line. The offence of the Seals moves up to their positions. Crash takes the snap quickly dumping the ball off to Funky Kong who is grabbed by the waist taking the defender up the field 11 yards before being gang tackled at the 41 of the Primates! Crash heads up to the new position along with his teammates. Crash gets close up behind the center sending Allen the half back in motion. Taking the snap he drops back throwing underneath to his tightend Flynch; who does a few quick moves picking up another eight before being taken down."What is this defense I'm seeing, come on now we need to send out a good message." Diddy Kong says on the sideline takes the ball again handing it off to Funky Kong who looses his footing trying to gain balance shoving a cleat into the turf. He falls forward for three yards, giving the team yet another first down. Crash again takes the snap throwing out to Skidd Mcmarxx who picks up five. On 2nd down Crash drops back looking toward the end zone but doesn't see the defensive end come on a corner blitz sacking him for a loss of seven. Crash is helped up by one of his offensive tackles. On 3rd and 12 Crash works out of the shotgun taking the snap. He moves in the pocket watching as the defense brings heavy pressure; he steps up throwing a strike in the chest of Skidd Mcmarxx who is tackled after a pickup of only 10. It is at this time the Seals send out their field goal unit. Crash takes off his helmet walking over to the sideline. The snap along with hold are good, and so is the kick. The Seals take a 3 point lead. At this time DK tries to get some of his players ready for their first drive."Remember the most important thing for us to do is to go out there and have fun, and at the same time give our home crowd what they came here for. Lets go out there and destroy some Seal!" Donkey Kong says trying to bring more energy into his the field the ball is kicked off to the Primemates; catching it is Ethern the Orangutan who is almost hit immediately not calling for the fair catch. The ball is placed at the nine yard line where Donkey Kong will begin.
"Alright guys lets do what we came here to do; scoring six will win you games not three."
With the first play DK throws incomplete for Willey his slot WR. On 2nd down he hands off to Monty Mole, who only gains a yard. On 3rd down they go with a play action fake with DK rolling out to the left side throwing to Diddy who catches but then drops the ball!
"Wow you've got to be kidding; the Primemates go three and out with a terrible drop by Diddy Kong." Matt says.
Donkey Kong walks off the field with the rest of his offence shaking his head irritated by their start. The ball again is kicked off to Vince who catches the ball at the 48. He dashes forward into a large crowd trying to break through, and as he almost does he looses the football! He is pushed off to the side with many bodies piling on top of it. The officials come in trying to move everyone to see which team came up with the ball. At the bottom of the pile it is confirmed, the Primates recover!
"Man what kind of stuff is that; Come on D give it right back to us." Flynch complains.
Skidd Mcmarxx slams his helmet to the side, disgusted with what just happened. A few of the players pat Ethern on the back trying to keep his confidence level up. The Primemates begin at their own thirty eight. Donkey Kong comes back onto the field with his offence ready to obliterate any memories of the opening drive. On First down he receives the snap dropping back and throwing incomplete for Diddy Kong. The coverage was great, and would have had to be an almost perfect pass to be complete. On 2nd down DK fakes the hand off to Monty Mole stepping back and buying some time. Donkey Kong steps up launching a rocket down field. Kenj the Koopa Turtle reaches out catching the ball at the 16 yard line outrunning the cornerback into the end zone!
"Touchdown Primemates 58 yards," A commentator tells, "What a catch, and what a satisfying job Kenj did in his route to get that much separation."
The kicker comes out making the extra point easily, now making it a four point game. Crash warms up on the sideline getting ready for the team's next drive. The ball again is kicked off to Vince who calls for a fair catch in the end zone. A Few minutes pass before the Seals again step onto the field starting at their own twenty. Crash sends his halfback in motion taking the snap and throwing across the middle to Jerald, his 2nd receiver, who picks up eight yards. On 2nd down Crash hands the ball off to Funky Kong who takes it to the outside, picking up another fifteen yards. This puts the Seals at their own 43. Donkey sits on the sideline smiling; impressed by the improved speed of Funky Kong compared to what he is use to seeing.
"So far this isn't too bad a match up; I know many love shootouts but sometimes a little smack mouth style of football isn't too bad." Darrel says.
"Yeah I'd have to agree with you; but the strange thing is I expected to see a lot of sloppy football out of the teams who played today seeing as none of them play this sport. But watching over some of the different games, I'd say some of these teams are a force to be reckoned with." Matt replies.
Back down on the field a few more drives have been ran by each team. on first down Crash fumbles the snap but falls on top of it. This brings up a 2nd down and 12. Crash again takes the snap looking to his right, but throws to his left watching as Jerald catches the ball once again gaining nine yards. The play results in a 3rd down and 3. Crash receives the ball dumping off to Funky Kong who dodges a few defenders picking up five. On the next play Crash lines up in the shotgun with two wide left along with two wide right on his other side. Crash takes the snap throwing a quick pass to have it nearly intercepted! On 2nd down Crash is forced to burn a timeout not being able to hear the play called over on the sideline because of the crowd noise. The Bandicoot walks over to the head coach on the sideline.
"We're goanna run it to the left, so send Skidd in motion to that side to try and help block. We have time for just this one play before the first quarter ends." The head coach explains.
Crash nods informing him he understands what to do. After the 30 second timeout he returns back onto the field with his offence. Crash takes the snap handing off to Funky Kong who picks up three yards. With that the first quarter comes to an end.
"Well so far it hasn't been too bad; at least we scored on our second drive," DK sits on the sideline beside Willey, "We most definitely need to win this one, especially since it's a division game."
"You're certainly right about that, we'll particularly need it when it comes time for the playoffs!" Willey replies.
Donkey Kong feels his heart rate rise significantly by the words of Willey. It is much too early to be thinking that far ahead, but the idea of the playoffs excites him!
The second quarter starts off rather slow with both offences of both teams struggling. The Seals manage only to put up three points while the Primemates put up nothing, with the first five drives by both teams. The cause of the stalled drives evolve around dropped passes, incorrect routs ran, along with many miscues. After yet another three and out the Primemates again kick to the Seals with 5:20 left in the half. This time it is Jerald who receives the ball running forward; he is hit and dropped at the 16.
"So far here in the second quarter it has been more of a defensive game, just as it has been for much of the game."
Crash takes the snap looking up and throwing to Skidd who gains five. On 2nd down the ball is handed off to Funky Kong who looses two. On 3rd down Crash fakes the hand off to Funky Kong throwing a screen to Urim the halfback. The Seals pick up another eight yards. Crash this time works in shotgun taking the snap and throwing a quick slant to Jerald who drops the ball. With the next play Crash connects with Jerald on a curl route for three. On 3rd down the crowd gets loud trying to disrupt the Seal offence, hoping for yet another stop by their defense. The ball again is handed to Funky Kong who is wrapped up at the line of scrimmage, being taken backwards. He powers out of the grasp taking it to the outside. He stiff arms another defender running out into space down the sideline alone!! Nothing but green grass stands in front of his path! The Seal running back takes it all the way to the end zone with the closes defender twelve yards behind!
"Touchdown Seals! Wow that was a Sixty nine yard score!" A commentator for the Seals yells.
With on the Sideline of the Primemates is DK who sits in disbelief. How was it that no one was able to bring him down, especially at the point it looked as if he were stopped in the backfield. He shakes his head watching as the extra point is kicked putting the Seals up three. The ape knows now that it is time for business; his team must answer back to the score. Over on the Seal sideline, Funky Kong gets congratulated for his long run. The ball is kicked off to Ethern who gets the ball up to the 23 yard line. That is where DK will begin.
"Now let's see if the Primemates can respond to that shocker the Seals just laid on them. This game is far from over."
Donkey Kong takes the snap handing off to Monty Mole who goes backward, but manages to get back to the line of scrimmage before being taken down. On 2nd down DK throws a quick laser to Kenj picking up seven. With the next play DK steps back into shotgun formation. He takes the snap moving in the pocket a little, not seeing the linebacker rip through the front. Donkey Kong is taken down hard for a loss of nine. Diddy Kong stomps at the turf angered by the protection up front. He feels he had broken free from the corner and could have made a play.
"We obviously have a lot of work to do on Tuesday's practice," DK walks beside Diddy, "Thank goodness we will have film on our next opponent."
Both players so badly want the first win, just as the Seals do. The ball again is kicked off to the seals only to have it bounce out of bound at the 31. On 1st down the Seals run the ball picking up just two. On 2nd down Crash takes the snap dumping off to Urim he gains another two yards. Crash steps back into the shotgun looking over the defense and altering the play. He takes the snap handing off to Funky Kong who is wrapped up and taken down by two defenders almost instantly. At this time the punt unite is brought out onto the field. The ball is kicked off to the Primemates who call for a fair catch back at their ten. The Primemates end up running out the remainder of the clock taking it to the half.
"What we have here tonight in the jungle is no doubt a football game, there isn't much scoring but hey it's still entertaining!"
"There is no doubt about that, I'm sure all viewers tuning in at home are enjoying. For the many watching remember that you can sign into our website and check out scores and stats from each individual game."
"Not just that, but be sure to see Fortred's press conference, which will be shown following the end of this game."
Hyrule
Banjo walks around in the hallway looking for Crunch but instead runs into Hena.
"What are you still doing here?" Hena places a hand on her waist. "Shouldn't you be back at the village resting for the big game tomorrow night?"
"Usually I would but Crunch, Link and I were goanna go over a few things. But Link couldn't make it for whatever reason, so I'm supposed to be meeting up with Crunch."
"Oh come to think of it why don't you check the lounge. If I can recall he was in there playing cards along with a couple other of the guys."
Banjo pats Hena on the shoulder heading in that direction. Some distance away Link is accepted into the castle by a guard.
"So what brings you to the castle, if you're here to see Princess Zelda she won't be able to speak to her for about another hour. She is in the middle of a meeting concerning the kingdom."
"Actually I'm here to see Princess Peach, you wouldn't happen to know where she is would you?"
The guard snaps a finger getting the attention of a woman who sits at a desk, informing her to come over to him.
"Elisa here will be able to show you where she is currently resting."
Elisa leads Link down the hall and to the first set of steps. They travel up a few floors before walking down a hall to a specific room where music can be heard inside.
"She's inside there; keep your visit short." Elisa says giving him a frown.
Link narrows his eyes confused on why she shot him the grimy expression. Link enters into the room closing the door behind him staggered by the beauty and size of the room. He walks forward peaking his head around the corner to see Peach dancing facing the opposite direction to him. Link opens his mouth to call for her attention, but doesn't almost hypnotize by the movement of her butt and fast paced body all together! He almost drools but clears his throat calling her name. She wears a tight pink skirt with a pink tank top to match it. Peach turns around facing Link, almost blushing. She bends down turning off the music box.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"You don't have to worry I just got here." Link lies smiling.
"Why don't you have a seat and stay awhile, I promise I wont bite."
Link laughs a little at her remark.
"I can't stay long so lets make this quick," Link looks down at the floor fiddling with the material on his gloves, "Why did you come onto me like that earlier, aren't you and Mario together?"
Before Peach can answer, the entrance to the room opens. A guard walks up placing a hand on the shoulder of Link.
"It's time for you to go; King Boo is waiting for you in the main lobby, it sounds like it's important you better come now."
Link nods letting him know he'll be on the way.
"We can talk later princess I really should see what sup."
Link exits the room with the guard. Peach sits at the edge of the bed lying back smiling at the thought of Link being jealous of Mario. Which indicates he has a thing for her! It is no secret she is definitely feeling something for the hero of time, what could this mean about her relationship with Mario!? She doesn't give it much thought just laying back.
Much time passes; the game has now reached late into the 4th quarter.
Cool Cool Mountain
Luigi sits within the lounge with Fox and a couple other teammates watching the game.
"Man the Seals have missed so many opportunities to score some more points, the penalties are killing them." Fox says
Luigi shakes his head agreeing.
"I don't know who will win this game, but tomorrow night we're goanna stomp all over the Legends!" One of the Mushroom Dasher players says.
Kongo Jungle
The score between the two teams sits at 17 Seals 21 Primemates. The ball sits at the 32 yard line of the Seals with only 1:03 left to play in the game. The audience are now at their highest watching as the Seals come on for what will be the final drive of the game.
"The Seals can't kick a field goal in this case, they need a touchdown to win and put away the Primemates. They only have two timeouts remaining, so in other words they still have some time."
Crash takes the snap out of shotgun looking up field for any sideline shot. Crash steps up throwing into an open zone to Jerald who pulls it in for a gain of seventeen yards. Crash runs up with the rest of his offence to the line of scrimmage to try and spike the ball. They get it done with: 41 remaining. Crash again steps back into the shotgun taking the snap stepping up and hooking up with Skidd for another 17 yards. The officials come in placing the ball at the 29 of the Primemates. Crash burns one of the team's timeouts. After the 30 seconds crash comes back onto the field in shotgun. He takes the snap pumping stepping up and throwing into the end zone! The ball is intercepted and ran out to the five yard line before the safety is tackled. Crash looks up at the game clock to see only 19 seconds remaining, knowing the game is over. The crowds within the stands go crazy with some coming out onto the field. Donkey Kong comes out onto the field with his offence taking a knee to officially end the game. DK walks over shaking hands with Crash afterward. The players of both teams do the same as well.

Crash steps back into the shotgun looking over the defense and altering the play. He takes the snap handing off to Funky Kong who is wrapped up and taken down by two defenders almost instantly. At this time the punt unite is brought out onto the field. The ball is kicked off to the Primemates who call for a fair catch back at their ten. The Primemates end up running out the remainder of the clock taking it to the half.
"What we have here tonight in the jungle is no doubt a football game, there isn't much scoring but hey it's still entertaining!"
"There is no doubt about that, I'm sure all viewers tuning in at home are enjoying. For the many watching remember that you can sign into our website and check out scores and stats from each individual game."
"Not just that, but be sure to see Fortred's press conference, which will be shown following the end of this game."

Banjo walks around in the hallway looking for Crunch but instead runs into Hena.
"What are you still doing here?" Hena places a hand on her waist. "Shouldn't you be back at the village resting for the big game tomorrow night?"
"Usually I would but Crunch, Link and I were goanna go over a few things. But Link couldn't make it for whatever reason, so I'm supposed to be meeting up with Crunch."
"Oh come to think of it why don't you check the lounge. If I can recall he was in there playing cards along with a couple other of the guys."
Banjo pats Hena on the shoulder heading in that direction. Some distance away Link is accepted into the castle by a guard.
"So what brings you to the castle, if you're here to see Princess Zelda she won't be able to speak to her for about another hour. She is in the middle of a meeting concerning the kingdom."
"Actually I'm here to see Princess Peach, you wouldn't happen to know where she is would you?"
The guard snaps a finger getting the attention of a woman who sits at a desk, informing her to come over to him.
"Elisa here will be able to show you where she is currently resting."
Elisa leads Link down the hall and to the first set of steps. They travel up a few floors before walking down a hall to a specific room where music can be heard inside.
"She's inside there; keep your visit short." Elisa says giving him a frown.
Link narrows his eyes confused on why she shot him the grimy expression. Link enters into the room closing the door behind him staggered by the beauty and size of the room. He walks forward peaking his head around the corner to see Peach dancing facing the opposite direction to him. Link opens his mouth to call for her attention, but doesn't almost hypnotize by the movement of her butt and fast paced body all together! He almost drools but clears his throat calling her name. She wears a tight pink skirt with a pink tank top to match it. Peach turns around facing Link, almost blushing. She bends down turning off the music box.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"You don't have to worry I just got here." Link lies smiling.
"Why don't you have a seat and stay awhile, I promise I wont bite."
Link laughs a little at her remark.
"I can't stay long so lets make this quick," Link looks down at the floor fiddling with the material on his gloves, "Why did you come onto me like that earlier, aren't you and Mario together?"
Before Peach can answer, the entrance to the room opens. A guard walks up placing a hand on the shoulder of Link.
"It's time for you to go; King Boo is waiting for you in the main lobby, it sounds like it's important you better come now."
Link nods letting him know he'll be on the way.
"We can talk later princess I really should see what sup."
Link exits the room with the guard. Peach sits at the edge of the bed lying back smiling at the thought of Link being jealous of Mario. Which indicates he has a thing for her! It is no secret she is definitely feeling something for the hero of time, what could this mean about her relationship with Mario!? She doesn't give it much thought just laying back.
Much time passes; the game has now reached late into the 4th quarter.
Cool Cool Mountain
Luigi sits within the lounge with Fox and a couple other teammates watching the game.
"Man the Seals have missed so many opportunities to score some more points, the penalties are killing them." Fox says
Luigi shakes his head agreeing.
"I don't know who will win this game, but tomorrow night we're goanna stomp all over the Legends!" One of the Mushroom Dasher players says.
Kongo Jungle
The score between the two teams sits at 17 Seals 21 Primemates. The ball sits at the 32 yard line of the Seals with only 1:03 left to play in the game. The audience are now at their highest watching as the Seals come on for what will be the final drive of the game.
"The Seals can't kick a field goal in this case, they need a touchdown to win and put away the Primemates. They only have two timeouts remaining, so in other words they still have some time."
Crash takes the snap out of shotgun looking up field for any sideline shot. Crash steps up throwing into an open zone to Jerald who pulls it in for a gain of seventeen yards. Crash runs up with the rest of his offence to the line of scrimmage to try and spike the ball. They get it done with: 41 remaining. Crash again steps back into the shotgun taking the snap stepping up and hooking up with Skidd for another 17 yards. The officials come in placing the ball at the 29 of the Primemates. Crash burns one of the team's timeouts. After the 30 seconds crash comes back onto the field in shotgun. He takes the snap pumping stepping up and throwing into the end zone! The ball is intercepted and ran out to the five yard line before the safety is tackled. Crash looks up at the game clock to see only 19 seconds remaining, knowing the game is over. The crowds within the stands go crazy with some coming out onto the field. Donkey Kong comes out onto the field with his offence taking a knee to officially end the game. DK walks over shaking hands with Crash afterward. The players of both teams do the same as well.
