Disclaimer: I don't own IGPX!
The year is 2074. It has been 25 year since we first saw Takeshi, Liz, and Amy first start their IGPX journey. IGPX is still the most loved sport in the world. But to connect you to the now, you must know the past.
From the years of 2049 to 2056, team Satomi that we all know and love were together, and for six of those seven years they won the championship. In the year 2053, there was an accident evolving Amy, who caused them to land in second, but on the plus side Amy met a young genius doctor named Gregory King, who latter becomes her husband in 2057.
Speaking of husbands the rest of the crew has also got hitched in that time frame. Ms. Satomi and Mark in 2052, and had their only child, Ryo Satomi, the next year. Also in the year of 2053, Jessie got married to her boyfriend, Shang Tao, they have four children, but their first one is important to the plot: David Tao, born in 2054.
But, onto the main stars, Takeshi and Liz, after dating for five year they finally got engaged after they won the 2055 championship, and to kick off the 2056 season they got married. It was at the end of this season that Liz started to get sick, but she did not tell anyone, not even her husband. So in secret, she went to her doctor, and after they won their sixth championship, Liz told everyone she was retiring. Everyone asked why, and it was because she was having a baby. On a side note, Takeshi fainted. And in 2057, Kage Jin was born, two years later in 2059 both Amy and Liz got pregnant and both had a little girls that were only two weeks a part. First was Hikari Jin, and the second was Vanessa King.
Now let's go forward to 2072, all three of our boys are starting out in the IGPX. Ryo is the assistant manager; David is a mechanic, while Kage has become the next defender for team Satomi at the age of 15. Together with a veteran midfielder, and a hot shot forward named Victor Thorn, they try to get Satomi back into the winner circle, because in the past 16 years Satomi has been slipping in its ranking. When the boys came in they were ranked 5th in the league. Over the next two year, everyone worked to move themselves up to third place.
But then all the problems started to happen. Their veteran midfielder had turned 30 and had decided to retire, this forced them to ask Vanessa to join and she accepted. It was then that the true colors of the backstabbing Victor shown through. While the team was working on Vanessa's contract, he was working on getting a new contract with the top ranking team, Team Diamond.
So without a moments notice, he left the team, leaving them without a forward. Hikari stepped in to become their new forward, while all this was happening, both management and auto departments of the teams were getting shook up. Ms. Satomi stepped down as manager to give her son his shot, while Mark also handled over his hat the David, so he could become the new head mechanic.
So now it is a new season, with a whole new team, we'll just have to wait and see what this new team Satomi can do.
