Ares on the Football Team

Ares is the main character in this story. He has became his school's football team captain. Problem, the team hasn't won a single game for nearly 20 years. And to make matters worse other schools have also picked up some star team captains including Apollo, Hades, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hercules, Poseidon, and Zeus. Can Ares straighten out this crooked team and bring them back to the big game, or will all their hopes and dreams fall out flat? "Come on!" Ares yelled, "It's already time to practice and you lazy worms are just sitting around!" "I can make it darker if I want to, you know," muttered Erebus. The team had multiple reasons for being bad, including not knowing how to cooperate. Ares picked up Erebus, " You better listen maggot, i'm trying to help this team, and you aren't helping!". He threw him into the snack bar. He then acted more mature as their first game was coming up.

Ares team was determined to crush Apollo's team, and they succeeded. As Apollo grabbed the ball Ares rushed through the line. Apollo had nearly juked him, but Ares ran in with such force and crushed him by just charging his shoulder. Apollo had missed half the game because of an injury but his backup, Hyperion, was also crushed, no, cremated by Tartarus. They had won the game 17-0. Ares had influenced this team to do good by starting their season off with a win. But still, the worst was to come.

Hades team was one of the toughest in the league, so they would pose a threat to Ares' team. In the first half Hades team was getting torched 17-0. In the 3rd quarter the score rose to 25-27. But then Ares had pulled of a miracle run to set up the game winning field goal. Next, they would face Hephaestus and his team of titans. At the opening kickoff Hephaestus had ran back for a touchdown, running over Tartarus on the way. Ares was amazed at Hephaestus' strength and saw this as a challenge. Ares once again charged through the line to attempt to "kill" Hephaestus. But Hephaestus didn't hesitate to hit him and charged him with a greater force. Ares' helmet flew off and he then just laid down on the field. The paramedics came to pick him up and put him on the stretcher. As he was carried away in the ambulance he caught a glance of the final score, 49-7.

Ares had crutches and couldn't play for 2 weeks. His team only managed to beat one team in Ares' absence, which was Hermes. As Ares came back he was a bit more softer. As they lost to Poseidon's team, it lowered their chance of making it to the playoffs. You had to have a record better than .500. Their record was 3-3 and they needed to beat Zeus' team which was nearly impossible. Zeus was even stronger than all of the other teams, but Ares and his team didn't give up. At the end of the first half the score was 31-0 Zeus' team. In the 3rd quarter the score stayed the same. But then, Ares' team pulled off an amazing comeback rising from a 31 point deficit. It was then a middle school football record at best comeback.

The playoffs was a cake walk for Ares' team but they then met up with Zeus' team in the Middle School Championship Bowl. Zeus' team had already sent 4 people on Ares' team to the injury bench. Ares had thrown a touchdown pass to Erebus and also intercepted Zeus for a touchdown. Tartarus also intercepted Zeus twice for two touchdowns. But Zeus had also ran for multiple touchdowns. There was 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter and it was 4th down for Zeus all the way back at his own 29 yard line. Zeus threw it hoping to connect to Pallas for a 1st down, who was knocked clear by Tartarus. Ares had turned around this team giving it a trophy that had been missing from their school hall for nearly 20 years. Good job. Lots of details and descriptions about the football. Just a few spelling and punctuation errors. 24 out of 25
