Disclaimer: I do not own Inazuma 11 all rights go to the people who did, also I don't own about 90% of the plot in the first chapter. It is basically the end of ep 44 and the beginning of 45.
This is based after episode 44 and is my first fanfic no flames please but constructive criticism would be nice.
Summary: The fight against Alilea academy is at its peak and the IE cast are determined to do whatever it takes to save the world. Everything is going well until they come up against the academy's top team Genesis, and that's where it all goes wrong for a certain captain. He has endured hurdle after hurdle but is this next challenge to much? Has he finally reached his match? Will Endou ever be the same again?
Chapter 1
Endou's pov
Everything was great we were finally going to have a fun match were the world wasn't on the line, against my new friend Hiroto and his team. I looked round at my Raimon friends and saw big smiles on their faces, and everyone's mood had lifted. This is really going to do us good, finally we can enjoy ourselves.
Then out of nowhere a weird black fog cloud appeared in the middle of the pitch startling us, but it was nowhere near as bad as what happened afterwards. Then a bright blue light appeared showing the outline of something, once the light cleared, there, in the middle of the pitch stood a weird bunch of kids, they looked like they were a soccer team but the kid in the front who I assumed was their captain was the focus of my attention. I swear I know him. He was wearing a gray football uniform with what I swear was something that looked like a poke ball on his chest (1). But what really got my attention was his fiery red, spiky hair. I searched my mind trying to find a match for this boy's identity, when my answer was given to me.
"Yo... High there everybody." The boy with red hair greeted. Behind me I heard coach Hitomiko gasp, maybe she knew something?
Then realisation hit me, this boy, the kid I thought I could trust, my new friend, was part of Alilea academy...
"Y-You're kidding... Hiroto" I stuttered in complete shock, what is going on?" "
"W-what are they doing here; I thought we played them already, what's happening?" I heard Rika asked behind me shock evident in her voice.
"A-are you telling me there's more, there's even more teams in Alilea academy?" Kazemaru said in a shaky voice.
"Indeed and this is my team, we call ourselves Genesis as a matter of fact, a nice name" The red head said confidently.
"Genesis..." I repeated. "So... you're an alien as well" I said not wanting to believe what I was seeing.
"What the heck is going on, what is this?" Jude asked looking at me. But I didn't hear him, my thoughts and emotions were swirling round in my head getting all muddled. Everything around me was blocked out, it was just me, my emotions, and... Hiroto.
"I thought..." I began, but I was unable to finish my sentience, my thoughts getting muddled up with the rest in my head. It had finally hit me that this was real, this was actually happening. All my tense muscles relaxed as I realised that there was nothing I could do about it. But then that sly voice cut off my line of concentration.
"Yes, I am an alien, but that doesn't matter, time to play... earthlings" He said in a mocking tone, looking at me right in the eye.
"What's going on here? Why is Endou friends with someone from Alilea academy?" Domon asked to no one in particular.
"I don't understand" Tachimukai stated. At least I can trust him. At least I hope I can. There was an awkward ongoing silence that felt like forever until Megane spoke up.
"Seems like he was taken in by that boy" He explained, fiddling with his glasses.
"What do you mean Megane?" Huruna asked, looking just as confused as everybody else, not that I was paying any attention to them, their voices were just muffled sounds to me. All I could hear or see was me and Hiroto.
Megane nodded to himself then said "He pretended to be friends with him to maximize the shock value for Endou on game day."
"And how on earth do you know that?" Tachimukai demanded
"Because I've trained myself to think like an alien" He said looking at Tachimukai.
"You've got it wrong actually" Hiroto said, there was a collective gasp "All I want, is to play soccer with you guys, that's it." Everyone went silent and looked at him, a disbelieving look in their eyes. Then he spoke once more...
"I've seen how you play, and I like it" He stated looking at me straight in the eye.
"I don't know guys, I don't think we should do this without getting permission from above" Came a new gruff voice, which belonged to one of the members of Genesis, he was quiet round, had an oddly shaped head and what I thought was brown hair.
"Gran gets what he wants, it's as easy as that" Said a skinny alien, he had a narrow face with yellow eyes and had a large brown pony tail.
"Who's Gran? Oh right, I guess that's your real name." I said looking straight at Hiroto. I couldn't take it anymore, I could feel my blood boil, my anger rising, I clenched my hands until my knuckles were white, my nails digging into my skin. Then I lost it.
"I thought we were going to have fun playing soccer with some new friends today, but now, knowing that you're from Alilea academy... this game is personal!" I said, dramatically pointing at Hiroto. At first my voice was quiet then it turned in to a shout of pure rage.
"Glad to here it" Was the redheads only reply.
Aki pov
I can't believe this is happening, today was supposed to be fun, but now we've got another fight against Alilea academy. Why. I've never seen Endou so angry, he hasn't known Hiroto for long and yet he can get Endou worked up so easily. I'm worried about Endou, he may have seemed to be taking it well, but he wasn't. We've been friends for ages, and I could easily see through his act, he may not seem it, but he can be very sensitive. He was falling apart. Then there was the look in his eye when he yelled at Hiroto, and accepted his challenge. It was a look I've never seen on him before, one I never thought I'd see on him, one I hope I don't see again. It was a look of pure rage, hatred, sadness and most of all pain. He was hurting inside and all because of this alien.
Authors notes: What? The symbol on their uniform really does look like a poke ball. This program is based in Japan; Pokémon is everywhere in Japan, so of course the IE cast know what it is.
