Episode 7: VS Resistance Japan Part 2

"Everyone, drink lots of water," Aoi tried to cheer everyone up but the air stayed heavy.

"We're going to change players, Narukami go in for Tetsukado." Kuroiwa Coach instructed

"You better stop all the balls, Narukami!" Tetsukado and Narukami fist bumped eachother.

Narukami started to do some warm up strectches, "Leave it to me," he smiled and walked over to Ibuki.

"What do you want?" Ibuki glared.

Narukami showed a small smile, "Tell me Ibuki, why do you practice so much for soccer, which you claim you have no interest in."

"Huh?" Ibuki frowned, "Of course to prove myself to Shindou!"

"Try to forget about impressing him." Narukami sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Narukami chuckled, "You'll never know until you try."

The second half started with Hakuryuu and Yukimura passing back and forth with eachother easily getting near the goal.

"Panther Blizzard V2" Yukimura kicked at the ball creating an icy wind which enveloped his surroundings. Kicking it at the goal, a shadow of a snow leopard seemed to appear.

Ibuki lifted his trembling hands. Seeing this Narukami quickly leaped in front of the incoming ball. Skimming the ground with his foot, Narukami drew a thin line on the ground. "Jirai! (Ground Thunder) From it several bolts of electric energy spewed out, stopping the powerful shoot. The ball slowly rolled under Narukami's foot.

"We're not done yet!" Hakuryuu slide and easily took the ball back, "The third point is ours! There's no way a weak keeper like you can stop my ultimate shoot!"

"White Hurricane G3!"

"Ibuki, watch the ball carefully, you can do it!" Narukami shouted at the keeper.

"Narukami?" Ibuki gasped. His eyes flared with confidence, "Heh, you don't need to tell me."

Ibuki clenched his fist and jumped up into the air above the shot. "I've seen it once and I won't let it in again," He slammed his palm a top of the ball creating a powerful shock wave, "Wild Dunk!" the ball was slammed down ending up not making it in.

"I-impossible…" Hakuryuu gasped.

Ibuki quickly passed the ball to Narukami who immediately lobbed it to Tsurugi.

"Bicycle Sword!" Jumping up, Tsurugi performed an overhead kick on the ball.

Senguuji used his own hissatsu, "Shoot Break V3!" but Tsurugi's shot overpowered it winning the first point for Shinsei Inazuma Japan.

"Hmm… looks like all their wins weren't just flukes," Minamisawa laughed flicking his long bangs back.

Kuroiwa Coach nodded, "Kurogane, go in for Nozaki."

Alsius jumped off the bench switching places with Sakura.

"Hmf, why would he take me off," muttered Sakura before placing herself on the bench.

"A sub, now?" Shindou muttered.

The game continued and Minamisawa brought the ball up the left side. Kusaka stood in his way and tried to block him. However, Minamisawa was ready for him, "Claymore V2!" he kicked the ball down at Kusaka's feet and then summoned many sharp thorns from the ground.

"Argh!" Kusaka was flung back and Minamisawa kept running in the direction of the net, "Konoha!?" Kusaka gasped.

"I won't be stopped by a shrimp like you," Minamisawa sneered.

"I can't lose; I can do it!" Konoha screamed "Konoha Roll!" Leaves surrounded Konoha's body and she rolled over Minamisawa stealing the ball from him.

"Kusaka-kun!" Konoha passed the ball to Kusaka who transformed to his Berserk Mode.

"Kyoubou Head!" Digging both feet into the ground, Kusaka bent his head far back and slammed against the ball.

"Shoot Break V3!" Senguuji kicked the shoot back and Matatagi took the rebound.

Matatagi immediately started his hissatsu. He quickly kicked the ball around the field and ended with a back kick towards the net, "Parkour Attack!"

The keeper didn't have time to react and the ball flew past him and into the goal. The score was tied, 2-2.

"Not only one, but 2 points…" Hakuryuu clenched his fists really tightly, "Impossible, our ultimate team…"

"Yeah, Matatagi!" Tenma cheered with his fist in the air, "1 more Inazuma Japan!"

"We're going to beat you and go against the world!" Hakuryuu screamed has hi dribbled past tsurugi and Tenma. He was headed straight towards Minaho.

"When backed into a corner, people lose the ability to think properly," Minaho smiled, "According to plan."

Copying Hakuryuu's exact movements, Minaho found an opening and went to steal the ball, "Trace Press!"

"Again!?"

"Tsurugi-kun!" Minaho passed the ball up to their ace striker.

"Bicycle Sword!"

"We can't let this in…!" defender Gomaki stood in front of the ball's path. Gathering energy in a sphere-like shape, he kicked it at the ball. "Air Bullet V2!"

Though it was unable to completely stop the incredible shoot, the ball was slowed down considerably. Senguuji used his hissatsu catch, "Shoot Break…V4!"

"What, it evolved!?" Tsurugi gasped as the ball was shot back past him.

Mahoto received the ball. Shindou went to stop him, however, Mahoro made the ball seem like it had split into three. "Illusion Ball Kai!"

"Yukimura!" Mahoro passed the ball right to him.

Getting the ball, Yukimura was about to dribble towards the goal, but Manabe was already right in front of him.

"Just like my calculations," Manabe smiled. He drew out multiple mathematical equations around him and Yukimura. "Defense Hoteshiki!" He swiftly swiped the ball from his opponent's possession.

"Hm…" Fudou smiled, "Playing against our team as pushed Inazuma Japan through further evolution. And he planned for all this to happen… you're scary, Kuroiwa Coach."

"Alsius," Manabe passed the ball to the midfielder.

Makari rushed up to stop her, "Shin Ice Ground!" sliding on the field that had turned into ice, he attempted to steal the ball from Alsius, however, she jumped up avoiding the hissatsu.

"Tsurugi, Matatagi!"

"We're going to do that, huh?" Tsurugi smirked.

"Let's go!" Matatagi smiled.

Ball placed in the middle, the 3 ran around it creating a furious hurricane. The three then all kicked the sitting ball up through the middle of the storm they created. The ball followed the hurricane's path towards the goal.

"Jet Stream!"

Tenma gasped when seeing the hissatsu. It was the move that scored the winning goal for Inazuma Japan during the FFI 10 years ago.

"That's why she wanted Inazuma Japan's data…" Minaho smiled.

Being completely overpowered, Shinsei Inazuma Japan got the leading point. The whistle blew indicating the end of the match. Inazuma Japan was able to protect their right to play against the world.

"So, this is Shinsei Inazuma Japan…" a short navy-haired boy whispered as he walked next to Kuroiwa Coach.

"Hmf," the Coach smiled noticing the boy's presence, "You were slightly late, boy. If you arrived earlier you could've played, Kurogane Han."
