Apart from getting to learn some kick-ass fighting moves from Granny, it means they get to attend a football game and meet the best goalie in the world, Shini Hanzo. But although Shini seems pleased to meet them, the twins can't help noticing he's acting a little suspiciously - and that trouble follows him everywhere. First there are the thugs who smash up his parents' restaurant, then there's the strange  accidentA\" at the team photoshoot, and then the poisoning at a glam party he attends.
