As the game started, Alex carefully watched at what happened, watching as the Auroch's managed to get the ball and Gippal, Gil and Abo launched into action. Gippal managed to pull off a risky move, passing to Abo with a kick and zipping passed three Abe's. Despite Abo being the one having the ball, Gippal was still promptly tackled and elbowed the white haired man in the face. A low silent growl vibrated in her throat. Sure, she was very much mad at Gippal, but that didn't mean she wasn't about to let someone else kick his ass. As the Abe's goalkeeper managed to catch the ball and chuck it to the midfielder, who quickly tried passing it to one of the strikers. Alex was ready though, and that little stunt they pulled wasn't going to go unnoticed by her. She saw the move coming as she swam like a sea serpent in charge. Just as the Abe Striker got the ball, he found himself met with a rough tackle, a powerful blow that launched him right out of the sphere and into the safety nets bellow. The crowd roaring in excitement as Alex spun the ball on her index finger. [color=lime]"Oooooohhhhh looks like Zanka had the unfortunate encounter against Alex's famous tackle! That's got to hurt!"[/color] the announced roared. The red head glanced toward the stands to see Naisha in the VIP booth. Alex's blue eyes narrowed as she spotted Urick just beside the booth, with those two women. At the sight, the Blitzball player could feel her blood boil, her temper starting to flare. Great.. Now they had one for each. Grinding her teeth together, her temper flaring so much the temperature in the water almost felt like it was boiling around her. Two Abe players tried tackling her, one from behind and the other to the front. Clutching the ball to her stomach, she growled irritably, now not in the mood for their bullshit as she hooked the man glomping her from behind with her foot, smashing him against the side and sending him launching through and right out of the sphere while slamming her shoulder against the girl trying to get the ball in the front, sending the Abe spiraling in the water before trying to get her bearings. [color=lime]"Aaaaand there goes another one folks! Tirk's gonna feel that in the morning! Good think Zanka and Tirk get back in the game quickly! Don't know how long that will last with hits like that!"[/color] The announcer shouted. Alex watched as another Abe tried to reach her but she quickly spun, swimming right over him as her body twisted, her back facing his head before spinning upright again and swam within the sphere, quickly scanning the sphere, ducking away from a grab before kicking the ball straight to Gippal.
