Team Bridge vs Team Medical

Taiga stepped forward onto the pitch to start the first match. Under her arm she held the white volleyball as she approached the net. "No offense Doctor. But team bridge is not going to be holding back on this!" she warned him.

Nezuko’s dress had been replaced with a shirt and pair of pants, so her dress wouldn’t trip her up. The fabric was light and loose so she wouldn’t get too hot.

She looked across the net at the medical team and briefly took her respirator out of her mouth. Just long enough to grin, showing off the sharp teeth of a predator. She put her breather back on, smiled brightly with her eyes, and took position.

Amu and Yoshika joined the pitch. Lieutenant Nezuko had sharp teeth, that was something that looked rather intimidating to them. "You ready doctor?" Amu asked looking over towards Febin. "I will warn you though... our Captain is rather competitive..." she said with a nervous smile.

"There's no problem with a bit of overtly competitiveness... I just hope she's not a petty loser," Febin smirked and then looked over at the Captain and then back to Amu as he was still puzzled by the human's words, "Is that the Captain's attempt at banter?"

"Lets get this started!" Taiga said as she threw the ball up into the air and with both hands together smacked it high over the net.

"I got it!" Yoshika shouted as the short nurse sprung from the sand arm outstretched. She just reached the ball in the air and managed to give it a firm whack back towards the bridge officers.

The ball went straight for Nezuko. She reached her arms forward to bounce it up, but she wasn’t sure if her teammates were able to get it under control and send it back over the net.

"I got it!" Shouted Taiga, she lunged forward and managed to hit the ball. It didn't go as planned though as it went off in a different direction landing outside the court. "Damn!" She cursed. "I guess that's one point to medical..."

Febin shook his head, "This is way too easy." Then he slowly panned his head over to the Captain offering her the hugest smirk, relatively close to breaching with a laugh but the chief doctor held his demeanor.

Amu picked up the ball. "Ok, our turn to serve" she said a slightly mischeavous smile spreading across her face. She looked over at the bridge team, she could tell that Taiga was getting frustrated by not winning. "Here we go!" She shouted as she threw the ball, followed by hitting it hard over the net towards Nezuko.

Nezuko grinned. It was coming straight for her. She jumped as high as she could and slammed it back down toward the Medical team.

The ball rocketed towards Amu, who was just a little slow. It slammed into the sand causing a small cloud of sand to burst into the air.

"One point to us!" Taiga called with a grin.

Amu simply smiled back as she picked up the ball. She tossed it over the net back towards Taiga.

Fire seemed to twinkle in Taigas eyes as she held the ball. The competitive side of her was finally starting to emerge, to most it was scary if not intimidating.

"Here goes!" She said as she launched the ball towards the crystal blue sky and then jumped after it. With a clenched fist she smacked it hard, aiming for an open point between Febin and Yoshika.

"Mine," Febin called it and then almost sprint jumped towards placing both hands in a fist underneath the ball, briskly almost touching the net over into a spiral downward onto the bridge's side.

Taiga lunged forward, managing to hit the ball flying back over the net back towards the medical team. She landed face down on the soft sand with a gentle thud and whoosh of sand.

"I got it!" Amu called as the ball arched over the net in her direction. She placed both hands together and made contact with the ball, sending it up into the air. However it got caught by a gust of breeze, sending it towards Miyafuji.

"Mine!" Yoshika called out. With a jump in her step, she reached high and managed to tap the ball, just enough to send it over the net back towards the bridge team.

"Go, Yoshika!!!" Lynette cheered, bouncing up and down excitedly.

"Nezuko!" Taiga called from the floor, the ball was coming right at her. Taiga had yet to get back up, she wasn't going to make it up for the save.

"I got it!" Lieutenant Thorpe said as he covered for Nezuko. He jumped in and managed to return the ball back to the Medical side. Taiga was glad that he had joined the team. Technically he wasn't one of the senior bridge officers, but he was one of the bridge relief officers. Over the years he had manned every console on the Tokyo's bridge.

"Nice one!" Taiga called as she picked herself up from the floor and returned back to a playable stance.

"Uh oh!" Yoshika said as the ball came sailing back over the net towards her. Unfortunately the reflection of the Risian suns off of the smooth surface of the ball blinded her for a moment. The ball came down plopping onto the sand next to her, causing a point earned for the Bridge team.

The rest of the match was fairly routine. It was neck and neck for a while as both teams lingered on two points each. However it was the last shot from Taiga that hurled the ball right between Amu and one of the sickbay attendants that finished the match and securing victory for the bridge officers.

Taiga couldn't help but smile once it was over. It was nice to see the crew in friendly competition, it was good teambuilding and brought them all together, not just as a crew but as a family. She made a mental note to create events like this more often for the crew.
