I do not own Inazuma eleven.

Enjoy!

The answer was 16.

Out of the 6 squads sent out, only 16 made it back to the main commanding area, Desarm had been one of the one's to make it and was lucky enough to still be in one piece.

Three of them had to be wheeled to the emergency room immediately due to the vast horrific injuries they sustained.

He saw people walking up and down the area and made his way to his assigned room, until he was called up for a mission.

He walked to the room and the automatic doors opened to reveal small cubicles, they split a large room into 16.

It was nothing like his room at home and he shared with other youths as well.

"Time for nutrition pill" said, a slime coming in.

"Again!?" somebody immediately complained. "Hey, do we have something better like meat?"

"Pill, time. Nutrition pill time" The slime kept saying.

Somebody shot it with a gun, making it collapse, only for seconds later to see it rebuild itself.

Desarm took the pill and everybody else took the pill because it wouldn't leave, if they didn't.

The pill tasted awful but they weren't going to see meat for at least the evening.

Desarm wondered if his father was still alive.

Soon they would be allowed to write letters to their family and anybody else.

#Scene Change#

In a wood covered room, revealed a normal teen room.

A long ice covered board laid hovering on the right, beside it was a soccer ball that was not an Earth soccer ball.

On the cabinet were pictures of lots of moments in a grey haired boy's life.

The door was open and in came several mini animals that were rectangular in shape and trotted to the bed, where a teen was currently sleeping.

Snowwolf woke up to find that he had become a bed for his dog and her puppies.

He laughed as he was licked by them.

"Okay, I'm up" He said, getting up and the dogs moved, he went to the bathroom and did his morning routine, before he put on his professional Inazuma Japan uniform.

He walked out of his room and the dog's happily followed after him, they walked past other bedrooms that belonged to his sibling's.

He had lost a family and in return he was given parents and 7 little siblings and a dog.

He went downstairs and saw chaos.

"It's mine!" said, a little boy with red hair.

"No its mine!" said, a little boy with blond hair.

"Good morning" He said, smiling.

They all looked to see him.

"Good morning, son" said, his mother, she had long grey hair and was holding a plate full of purple pancakes.

"Good morning big brother" said, his siblings.

"You're going to meet those, humans?" said, his father.

He nodded, as he sat down, his foot had been fine for some days now but he wanted to spend time with his family.

The dog's decided to try and swipe any piece of food they could.

He ate the pancakes and received a warm hug from his mother.

He really was raised differently from everyone else.

The god of the land wasn't going to allow him to grow up in a cruel way, his up bring was very similar to a loving human home.

He put on his coat, grabbed his snowboard and then bravely opened the door, a tidal wave of snow brushed passed him and he slide down the little hill, the air was so cold that his breath turned into smoke and then ice.

He slid through the people walking and the traffic to the nearest teleporter building, it was too cold for teleporters to be outside so it was in a teleportation building.

He saw it and went up the ice cold steps before he walked through the doors, he saw dozens of portal entrances and corridors.

He found his way and went through a portal, in seconds he was in a warm climate and was walking towards the portal to earth.

He thought of where he wanted to go but was stunned to see where Inazuma Japan was.

The building was...

It looked terrible.

He heard sound coming from the back and began to walk.

He saw his team mates playing and the first to see him was Scotty.

Scotty widen eyes got the other's players attention.

"Snowwolf!"said, Endou.

"Oh, hi. Guys" said, Snowwolf.

And then Snowwolf was stunned to be jumped, he never expected to get such a warm welcome back.

"So how is your injury?" said, Endou after Snowwolf escaped being trapped.

"Its completely healed now" said, Snowwolf. "Coach Kudou said I can still get back on the team"

"We'll, that's great" said, Endou.

"With you back on the team, we'll be even stronger then before" said, Jack.

"Hmph" said, Clockwork. "What are you celebrating for? Don't you realise, one of us has to leave and go home?"

And he stunned them all but then the Coach appeared and said. "Clockwork is quiet correct"

There was only 16 players allowed, there was now one too many.

"The one to leave is" said, Coach Kidou. "Todd Ironside."

Todd was shocked and so were those who know him from the beginning.

"B-But coach, he's such a big help" said, Jack.

"I wouldn't be able to complete my move without him" said, Darrien.

"Sorry but that's my final decision" said, Coach Kidou. "So pack up and head to the airport" and then the man walked away heartlessly.

"Now, I feel terrible about coming back" said, Snowwolf.

"Its not your fault, Snowwolf. We'll just have to talk to Coach" said, Endou.

But everybody know there was no convincing the man but they were going to try anyway.

They went to talk and Fuyuka knew this wasn't the time to ask any questions.

Suddenly Celia left and when she returned, she had a huge bag with her.

"What is that?" said, Kidou.

"Mail" said, Ceila.

And at the mention of mail they all huddle around.

"However, their all for Xene" she said, shocking and stunning all of them.

"What?" all of them said.

This whole bag was for Xene!?

She put the bag down and everybody waited for Xene to open it, he got out the first letter.

It looked official, as he opened it.

He began to read and his eyes grew wide.

"What does it say?" said, Willy.

"Its a letter asking me if I want to endorse a brand of sneakers" said, Xene.

His words stunned them.

They all looked and saw flyers and even free merchandise in the bag.

"This is like the rumoured endorsement deals that pro players get" said, Jack.

"We'll, Xene did crazy good during the last match and really shone" said, Kidou. "I won't be surprised if there is an invite to the pro league in there"

He stunned them all.

This was the power of being on world wide television, you get a crazy amount of exposure and Xene felt like an pro player on that field despite looking so young.

"We'll, I would have rejected that kind of letter anyway" said, Xene, stunning them. "I'm not looking to be a footballer in my adult years. I'm going to take over my families Hotel business"

"Plus, you won't be an adult for at least another eight human years" said, Snowwolf. "I highly doubt anybody would wait that long. But than again, you would have more years on you then the rest of the players"

But then the good mood dampened when they realised Todd still had to leave and were sober.

Todd went to get his stuff and only Clockwork followed Kidou and Endou to see him off.

#The Next day#

Everybody was gathered to sit in front of the TV to see the result between Italy and England, it was nice to check out the competition but it looked like Italy was struggling with England.

The Inazuma Japan, as the result of their last match looked amazing in the eyes of the world right now and a lot of them saw Kayegama for the first time on screen.

Italy clearly didn't trust him after what happened but soon, Kageyama clearly opened his mouth to say something and suddenly Italy was on the offence and scored.

Both Kidou and Endou were stunned by the suddenly win and even praised the man, Clockwork couldn't care less, in his mind, he was a weak human who he had defeated before.

But the threat to them, was show through Endou and Kidou immediately.

"Are you sure you want me to kick from here?" said, Snowwolf.

They were very close to each other.

"Yeah!" said, Endou.

Snowwolf did a run up and kicked.

The hard ball did not have time to lose its power so it slammed into Endou chest.

"Are you okay?" said, Snowwolf, did he accidentally injure him.

Endou sucked the pain in and said. "Another!"

Snowwolf looked at him like he was growing two heads as he said. "Are you sure?"

Meanwhile Clockwork found himself being challenged by David who wouldn't give up.

Kidou bulldozed his way through his team mates aggressively.

"Can I ask you something?" said, Fuyuka to the other girls, who blinked.

They went somewhere quiet to have a talk.

"What! You want to know about Aliea!?' said, Aki and she nodded.

"I'm asking because at first, I thought the aliea players were the same because of their looks" said, Fuyuka. "But only recently did I realised we aren't the same at all and there are differences"

"You mean when Xene almost wrecked his body, the last game and he just shrugged it off?" said, Celia.

Fuyuka nodded.

"We'll how do we explain this." said, Aki. "Aliea is a beautiful place but it has a cold heart"

"A beautiful place, but has a cold heart?" said, Fuyuka.

"The best way to explain it, is to find pictures of Aliea from the web" said, Ceila. "It looks like a tropical place and the technology is way more advanced then it is here. But the laws aren't the same as the one's of earth. The environment forces you to get strong as an individual"

"Forces?" said, Fuyuka.

"Like they fight each other a lot" said, Aki. "They see strength as the most important thing. That's how their society workers, the stronger you are, the stronger your place in society is. Asking for help is a sign of weakness"

"...That's kind of terrible" said, Fuyuka.

"We'll, they aren't humans and they are doing what has been working for them for years" said, Celia. "And those in charge of the planet, aren't exactly fond of Humans either because we're weaker then them. In fact a lot of aliens weren't exactly fond of us, when they made contact and were insulting us, left and right. But at the same time, there were aliens who had an open mind and could accept us. Like Xene"

"But then again, he had to" said, Aki. "He was the leader and had to show himself to be friendly. We had to beat the other aliens into accepting us. They really only care about strength"

"...I didn't think there was such a difference" said, Fuykua.

"But its so easy to forget they think differently to us." said, Ceila. "Snowwolf is so much like us that you forget that he's not human. You would think he was born here, but even he has some...qualities"

Like his smoothness with human girls.

Fuyuka blinked since she was lucky enough to have never seen it.

#2 days later#

Everybody began to stretch for their game against America team Unicorn.

To the cameras and disappointment of many, Xene wasn't wearing the captain band because it was on Endou arm right now.

Then they faced each other, for the flip to decide who got the ball and Unicorn got it.

Eric blazed through the forwards before he got to Xene and he went one on one with Xene.

Xene had stretched his senses and evolved because of the last match, it instantly showed because he instantly got the ball off of Eric instead of the player walking all over him.

"That's the way!" said, Endou and Inazuma Eleven advanced forward, Xene passed the ball.

The ball was immediately stolen by Bobby who used all his power to get it back to Eric at his fastest.

Xene began running and on live tv, he began sprinting.

"So fast!" said, the announcer seeing Xene go a speed that was beyond human.

"Its too late!" said, Eric before he debuted his special move and gave the ball a big whack.

"Jigure the hand!" said, Endou slamming his glowing fist down and a shield came up, however the shot was too power.

It smashed through the move and was about to go in when Xene suddenly appeared.

"What, the!?" said, Eric.

"HE'S THERE ALREADY!?" said, the announcer.

Xene used his foot to come in contact with the ball, the shot was so powerful that he felt like it wanted to tear his leg off.

But he didn't have a body like Endou.

Suddenly an explosion run out and everybody wanted to see the result.

When it cleared, Xene was on the floor but.

The ball was beyond the side line on the left!

No goal!

"AND HE STOPPED IT!" said, the announcer. "IS HIS LEG'S MADE FROM STEAL!?"

"No. The real question is. Can he stand after that?" said, the other announcer.

Eric was stunned but everybody expected Xene not to be able to get up after taking a shot that powerful to the leg.

"Oh, crap. Are you okay, Xene?" said, Endou.

Xene began to get up but wobbled before he managed to recover and began to tap his foot before he said. "I'm fine"

And then began to walk away, showing he was indeed fine.

Everybody was stunned.

"You got to be kidding me. How strong is that body, now?" said, Bobby.

The America team was prepared for him, but they hadn't quiet prepared for the ridiculously that came with this, now Xene had evolved.

"And Xene from Inazuma Japan, shows the American team why they should fear him" said, the announcer. "Lets get on record everybody. Since the last match he's been in. He has received numerous sponsor deals and a letter to go to the Pro league when he comes of age. That's incredible for anybody"

Everybody who didn't know was stunned.

But the more the match went on, the more it was clear there was something wrong with Eric, Clockwork had an idea and decided to look at Eric past.

What he saw was Eric finding out, he hadn't completely healed from his injury from last time and this maybe his last match.

He was going out with a bang.

Just like somebody from Aliea.

"Man, you humans care so much for each other." said, Clockwork.

His words confused those on the bench but for some reason Aki felt like he was talking to him.

"Let the guy, go out with a bang" said, Clockwork, looking directly at her.

No way. Thought Aki, he know.

How did he know!?

Clockwork merely pointed to his eyes and she saw his eyes turned into literal clocks before they turned to normal.

She had no idea, his name Clockwrok wasn't just a name.

By the second half, Clockwork, Scotty and Thor was put into the match.

They solved the xene problem by running with the ball as little as possible and constantly passing the ball.

The appearance of Clockwork on the field was a cause for alarm for those who know how terrible he was.

"I can't believe you guys are letting them all walk over you like this" said, Clockwork smugly.

"Fine, then you do better" said, Kidou.

"I just know the truth that's all" said, Clockwork.

"So you got a plan in mind?" said, Endou.

Clockwork smirked and turned to the group of America players and thought. You may be a magician but its all smoke and mirrors.

Eric did not like the look on Clockwork face and said. "What's this guy planning to do out there?"

The whistle blew and immediately the troublesome three were in front of the goal and lined up.

"Lets go, Scotty!" said, Thor and both of them lunged at one of them stunning all three.

The player kicked the ball at the troublesome three and they immediately did the hitssue move, however, the moment that ball was thrust up they heard.

"Lets do it scotty!" said, Thor.

"Yeah!" Scotty said, before his head was grabbed and he was thrown in the air, Scotty twirled in the air before he took the ball out of the player possession, shocking the three.

"We did it!" Both of them said.

"That's the way" said, Endou.

And then America seemed determined to shut Raimon defence down but Clockwork was all over them and said. "Go Snowwolf!"

Snowwolf used his fastest speed to shake off his mark and intercepted the ball before it could go to an American player.

He kicked it to Kidou but it was intercepted and passed to Eric, Eric passed it only for Thor to grab it and pass it to Archer who had been alerted by Clockworker.

Archer passed it back to Endou.

"What's going on?" said, the announcer. "Rolling thunder, isn't working!"

"We just figured out your trick, Mr Magician" said, Clockwork getting Eric to look at him. "Its all about the rebound kick, isn't it? We just need to grab the rebound kick before you, that's all"

And then Kidou got a flashback.

"So that's it" said, Kidou.

"So you finally figured it out dreadlocks" said, Clockwork.

To Eric, he did not expect somebody to see through his trick and so quickly.

The ball went to Axel and Eric tried to stop him but in that moment, his leg gave out, which allowed Axel to escape.

Axel performed a new move called Grand Fire, that was preformed by Axel, Austin and Xene.

It was amazing and it went in.

"When did they have time, to practise that?" said, Aki.

It was now 3-2.

Amercia was more determined then ever.

Kidou had the ball only for Bobby to come from nowhere and tackled him.

Both Xene and Kevin went for him only for Bobby to team up with another player, who was thrown in the air and grew shinning wing's.

Kevin had to cover his eyes.

Xene did not.

Xene lunged right into the light, his eyes were his greatest estate and everybody looked shocked to see the light go down and Xene had grabbed the ball.

"What?" said, all of Unicorn.

"Showing a bright move was the worst move against me" said, Xene before he sped down the field.

There was parts in Aliea that was just wrapped in overwhelming light, his people's eyes had to have something that allowed them to see.

Xene preformed Meteor Blade and Scored.

Eric was forced off the pitch by his coach who could no longer ignore his injured foot and he was replaced by a fit player.

It was now a clash between wills until the very last second.

Inazuma Japan won 5-3

Another win.

They all lined up, but for several people the win was bitter sweet.

This had been Eric very last match, due to his leg injury.

They walked out and came out the teams only end.

That's when Clockwork diverted from the group and headed to the America team.

Those who noticed this were surprised and Eric eventually looked.

Clockwork walked over to Eric with a terrible grin.

"What?" said, Eric. "Came to gloat?"

"Please, I'm not that pathetic" said, Clockwork, before he got out something and handed it over to Eric.

Eric saw it was a card.

He and those around were confused since they can't speak Alea.

"Its a card for a Hospital on Alea" said, Clockwork as if he was talking to a 5 year old.

Eric and many were stunned.

"Human medicine may not be able to heal that leg of yours but Alea sure can" said, Clockwork. "Just show them this to the people at the portal and they would get you to the hospital. Tell them Clockwork sent you, you get treatment for free"

Silence.

Everybody wasn't just stunned, they were flabbergasted.

He was trying to save his career as a soccer player.

Getting treatment on Aliea had never even crossed Eric mind, but if it was them, was it possible for his leg to be healed?

It was because Aliea existed that he had such an option.

"Why are-" Eric began.

"I'm not going soft, Human," said, Clockwork. "You want out with a bang. Instead of whining and complaining. I like that." Before he said. "So use it. Don't use it. I don't care. I haven't sent a person to the hospital recently, I thought you could use the space"

And then he walked off, only to be filled with irritation when he heard.

"THANK YOU!" from Eric.

The Inazuna Japan wondered why Eric was thanking him.

The door opened as he said "You humans are so annoying"

He sat on the bus seat.

Later, Aki would hear from Bobby what Clockwork did and be shocked and stunned.

Clockwork was more human then any of them thought.

And scene!

Next chapter, Eric goes to Aliea to get treatment, his parents and him end up being shocked and stunned by how easily and fast they fixed his leg. Showing how advanced medicine is on the planet. Meanwhile, Endou sees a monster at night and Xene ends up stuck in the woods with Scotty, stalked by somebody with a beak and shell. Review/fav and follow!
