00:00Do you think we could meet up somewhere? Like tomorrow?
00:13Okay, sure, Eric. I'm sure Mark and the others will be happy to see you as well.
00:17No. Sorry. But I need you to come alone.
00:21Huh?

00:26I'll meet you at the park in the American Zone.

01:29and your heart's on fire too.

01:33send them a real big thank you.
01:35So don't you cry, everything will be alright.

01:41you know you'll feel good forever.
01:53With this warmth inside,
01:55you know you'll feel good forever.
02:03Eric's Final Kickoff
02:19But why? I don't understand, Eric.
02:24It's the Football Frontier International's Daily Roundup!
02:30Hurry, it's starting!
02:31We're bringing you the results of yesterday's thrilling game
02:34between England's Knights of Queen
02:36and the American team, the Unicorn.
02:42Hey look, it's Bobby!
02:47With Bobby Shearer on the team,
02:49the Unicorn's defense is basically unbeatable.
02:52Wowee, Bobby's just incredible!
02:54He's way better than he used to be, isn't he?
02:59And there's Eric!
03:11Eric Eagle became the focus of the attack,
03:13shattering England's defenses again and again.
03:15The forwards are also highly skilled,
03:17and everything came together to give the Unicorn a decisive victory.
03:21Eagle in particular was outstanding.
03:23His playmaking stood out time and again
03:25during the North American Preliminary Games.
03:28You know, as his former teammate, I'm really happy for him.
03:31But as their next opponent, I'm not very happy at all.
03:35It's kind of a complicated emotion.
03:39What is this feeling I'm feeling?
03:41What's wrong?
03:43I don't know.
03:44It's like there's something different from before.
03:46Something's changed about the way Eric's playing.
03:50That's what I was just thinking.
03:52Maybe it's just because he's better than before.
03:54Just because he's better?
03:57You're right.
03:58Yeah, that must be it.
04:03We made a promise to each other
04:04that we'd meet again on the world stage after all.
04:09And that day is finally here!
04:12All right, let's have another practice before dinner, you guys!
04:15You betcha!
04:16Hey, wait for us!
04:17Okay, guys, let's do this!
04:21Wow, everyone's really fired up.
04:23Let's watch the MVP play highlights once again.
04:26Here comes the eagle!
04:31I've never seen Eric look so intense before.
04:35Hey, Sylvia.
04:37It's really you!
04:39It's been a long time.
05:04Why isn't he saying anything?
05:13What's wrong with him?
05:19Hey, Sylvia?
05:24I have some news.
05:26I'm...
05:27After this tournament,
05:29I'm going to be joining
05:30the Pro League Youth Soccer Team in America.
05:32Is that what all this is about?
05:34You're being all creepy and secretive.
05:36I thought something was really wrong.
05:39A pro youth team?
05:41Wow, that's really cool.
05:43I'm really happy for you, Eric.
05:46I was just wondering,
05:48will you come to America with me?
05:50Yeah, I'd love to.
05:52I was just wondering,
05:53will you come to America with me?
06:00Come with you?
06:02What do you mean by that?
06:05Sorry.
06:06I guess that kind of was a strange way to put it.
06:09What I meant by that is
06:11I really want you to be there
06:13to see my first game.
06:14Oh, I see.
06:15So that's what you meant.
06:17Oh, of course I'll come.
06:19I'd be honored.
06:20I'll be looking forward to it.
06:24I'm planning to bring a tape
06:26of all my victories at the World Tournament
06:28to present to the pro team
06:29so I can't lose any games,
06:30including the next one.
06:32Mark and the others aren't going to lose either.
06:36Well, I guess it'll be a good game.
06:38One for the history books.
06:41Listen, tell everybody I said hi, okay?
06:44Okay.
06:46I'm really glad we got to meet up, Sylvia.
06:48So am I.
07:19Well, that was good news, but...
07:25I don't understand why I'm not feeling happy.
07:37Hi, you've reached Eric Eagle.
07:39Eric, are you...
07:41I can't come to the phone right now.
07:43Please leave a message
07:44and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
07:48Okay.
07:53Something's weird here.
08:03Why?
08:04Is the training getting any easier?
08:07Here, Mark, here's the towel.
08:09Thanks a lot, Cammie.
08:11Everybody's working really hard today, aren't they?
08:14That's right,
08:15because we'll be fighting Bobby and Eric next.
08:17Yeah, I really can't wait to face off against them.
08:24Wowee, those two really stir everybody up, don't they?
08:27I wonder what kind of guys they are.
08:29They're our friends.
08:33No matter how the team has changed,
08:35Eric and Bobby will always be important friends of ours.
08:41Let's get going again.
08:43We're not going to lose to Eric, no way, no how.
08:48Oh, hey, Nathan.
08:50I've come up with a new combo move in my head,
08:53but it's going to need a lot of speed.
08:57I can help you with that.
08:59I'm going to do some wave training.
09:01Think fast, Kevin.
09:08Hey, Sylvia, Eric's all happy.
09:11Stoked we are right now.
09:12Do you think he'd be surprised by us?
09:15Hey, where did she go?
09:17She went out to buy more tape.
09:19She said your knees will need it.
09:23But look, there's plenty more in here.
09:26Oh, yeah.
09:38Sylvia?
09:40Bobby!
09:41What are you doing here?
09:43I, um...
09:46It's Eric, isn't it?
09:48I met him yesterday, and now he's got me all worried.
09:52I tried to call, but he won't pick up.
09:55Well, I guess that means he's not here right now.
09:59He's out with a few of our teammates.
10:02Oh.
10:03I can give him a message for you if you want.
10:06Hey, um, has he been acting kind of weird with you lately?
10:10Yeah.
10:13To be honest, I'm really worried about him.
10:16I think he's hiding something important from me.
10:18He hasn't said anything to you, has he?
10:20Well, he, uh...
10:22No, he hasn't seemed weird to me at all.
10:25It's probably just your female imagination.
10:28I can tell you're not telling me something.
10:31When you're lying, you never look people in the eye.
10:35I'm not lying at all.
10:37Anyway, chill out. Eric is the same as always.
10:40Gotta go. Bye.
10:44What's going on here?
10:52I'm sorry, Sylvia.
11:05Look at that. You're still practicing?
11:08Yep.
11:09You're seriously into this training.
11:11But don't overtrain, all right?
11:13I mean, I don't want you too tired to play tomorrow.
11:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:20I wish I could think of something to say, but words aren't my forte.
11:24I know. Why don't we walk over here?
11:26Sounds good.
11:36You're kidding me.
11:38But I thought you were completely better.
11:40What the heck is going on here?
11:42Yeah, I thought so too.
11:44But apparently the damage from the accident was much worse than they initially thought it was, Bobby.
11:49Are you gonna need surgery?
11:51Yes, I am.
11:53But if it doesn't work this time, I won't be able to play soccer ever again.
11:58The longer you put it off, the greater the chances of serious complications.
12:03I hate to say this, but it could even threaten your life.
12:07Huh?
12:29I might not be able to play soccer.
12:32The game I love is going to be taken away from me again.
12:36Why does this always happen?
13:06Huh?
13:17Don't tell me he's gone.
13:23Big problem!
13:25Eric's not in his room. He's gone!
13:27Calm down, Bobster.
13:29Maybe he went out for a morning jog or something.
13:31Right?
13:36Huh?
13:45I made up my mind not to tell her.
13:47So what am I doing here?
13:52I guess I'm scared I'm going to lose soccer forever.
13:57Come on!
13:59Huh?
14:01Curly, you out here to train too?
14:03Yep.
14:04I know you're here too, aren't you?
14:06You bet.
14:07When we go up against Eric and his team, I want to be at my absolute best.
14:14I'll do whatever I have to do to be the best.
14:16That way we can play the best game we possibly can.
14:21Huh?
14:25Hey, you guys!
14:26Is Eric turned up?
14:27Nope, haven't seen him.
14:29Relax, man. He'll be back by the time practice starts.
14:35Actually, it's possible that he's never going to come back.
14:41Hey, what took you guys so long?
14:43I made you here.
14:53Looks like I was wrong.
14:59Dylan!
15:02Take it!
15:10What I'm really scared about isn't losing soccer at all.
15:14It's about losing the chance to play soccer with my greatest rival.
15:18And I want to play with as much enthusiasm as Mark does.
15:22I don't care if it's the last game I play.
15:24I'm going to throw everything I've got at you in this next game.
15:27Until the last whistle goes, I'm giving you everything.
15:30I'm giving you everything.
15:35So then, it looks like you've decided.
15:40You're going to keep playing to the last possible moment.
15:56Every seat is packed here at Peacock Stadium.
15:58The game between Japan's national team, Inazuma Japan,
16:01and America's national team, Unicorn, is about to begin.
16:04The American president Kane is here as well.
16:09No, I want you to come alone.
16:12I can't come to the phone right now.
16:16Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
16:21I have to ask him what's going on.
16:23I need to know what the real problem is. I can't just let it lie.
16:29I understand you made a decision, Eric.
16:31If this is really your choice, then I'll help you all the way to the end.
16:35Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
16:37But promise me one thing, would you?
16:39If for whatever reason you can't keep playing during the game...
16:44If that happens, then I'll go off. I promise.
16:47What are they talking about?
16:49Look, man, you're my best friend in the whole world.
16:52Huh?
16:53My heart tells me I need to keep you off the field
16:56and get you into the operating room right now.
17:00Even while you're standing here, your chances of survival are dropping.
17:04Sylvia!
17:05What is this? What's the operation?
17:09You told me you were going to join a pro youth team after this tournament.
17:14He was lying.
17:16Well, it's no lie that he was invited to join a youth team.
17:20But that's just not going to be possible.
17:22What are you saying?
17:24There's still some after effects from the accident he had all those years ago,
17:28and he needs more surgery.
17:30There's no guarantee of success, and even if he does succeed,
17:33the chances that he'd be able to play soccer again are slim.
17:37You're kidding me.
17:39Why didn't you tell me that before?
17:43It's quite possible that this is the last game he'll ever play.
17:50And here we go. Both teams are entering the grounds.
17:54Eric, wait!
17:57Do me one favor. Keep this a secret from Mark, would you?
18:00I need to play a serious game against him. This is for keeps.
18:07This isn't something that he can do on his own, though.
18:10And I think that that is why he went to see you.
18:16But in the end, he couldn't tell you.
18:19That's the kind of guy he is.
18:24He's a total idiot.
18:35Hey, Sylvia, where have you been hiding?
18:39Nowhere.
18:45Even while you're standing here, your chances of survival are dropping.
18:51There's still some after effects from the accident he had.
18:55If he does succeed, the chances are that he'll never be able to play soccer again.
19:03I need to play a serious game against him. This is for keeps.
19:08Mark?
19:10What is it? Is something wrong? Come here. Talk to me, Sylvia. What's the problem?
19:15No, there's no problem at all.
19:17Mon! Get out of here! You're losing warm-up time!
19:20Coming!
19:21Coming!
19:23Just stay focused!
19:34So, Mark, we finally meet again.
19:37I'll show you what I'm truly capable of.
19:40Whoa!
19:49And you couldn't take the kickoff! Here we go!
19:51Time to show them what we can really do.
19:59Don't worry, I got him!
20:02He's so fast!
20:03Here comes Eagle with his masterful dribbling skills!
20:10You're not getting past us!
20:14Eagle blows past Frost!
20:17He goes through wallside to Evans!
20:19Here it comes, Evans!
20:21I'm ready!
20:22You're gonna love my new move!
20:29Pegasus Shot!
20:30Pegasus Shot!
20:39Ichigekima Hand!
20:44Whoa, that's powerful!
20:46What the...
20:48And it's in!
20:49Eagle's big shot gives the unicorn a blisteringly fast first point!
20:54He's even better than he was in the last game. That's unbelievable!
20:57Nobody could stop that shot! It's crazy!
21:00That was awesome!
21:02Yeah!
21:04Keep in mind this game has just started.
21:06We have time to show them what we can do, too.
21:08Remember, we're stronger!
21:10Yeah!
21:12I love how he can lift his spirits with just a few words.
21:15You're a heck of a captain, Mark.
21:18That's why I've wanted to play you for so long.
21:27Eric...
21:57Yeah!
22:27Whoa, yeah!
22:30Whoa, whoa!
22:34Whoa, whoa!
22:39Whoa, yeah!
22:45Whoa, whoa!
22:50Whoa, yeah!
22:55Whoa, whoa!
22:57Whoa, whoa!
23:07It's Inazuma Japan vs. The Unicorn.
23:10The field is wide open and the battle has just begun.
23:13Eric's stronger than ever and is scaring the heck out of the whole Japanese team.
23:18Coming up next, Mark vs. Eric.
23:21This game is off the hook!
