Union of Generations!
Inazuma Legend Japan had come from an important win against The Kingdom. They were all tired after the hard-fought match.
Endou woke up very early in the morning. It was just 5:30 am. He wasn't feeling like sleeping, so he got up, changed his clothes and went out for some early morning practice. "I should get some fresh air." He also took a tire with him. "Let's do the usual!" he said to himself.
Endou went to the beach in Inazuma Japan's area. It reminded him of the original FFI; how he met Fideo, how he met with his grand-pa for the first time… All this memories circulated inside Endou's head, when he finally realized his reason of coming to the beach.
Endou tied the tire to a tree. He then punched the tire, and as it came back, he tried to catch. This reminded him of his past memories… "Endou, we'll help you practice!" cried a familiar voice. As Endou turned around, he saw the whole team of Inazuma Legend Japan standing. "Minna, you're all here!" "Yes Endou-san, we'll practice too," smirked Kogure, "He-He-he-he!"
Endou and the others were practicing hard. Suddenly, a bright light caught Endou's attention. It was moving towards Endou's direction, and it was coming very fast. "W-What the! What's that? Everyone, move!" Hearing the captain's shout, everyone got out of the light's path. At the last moment, the light stopped as it touched the ground, and smoke started to come out.
Three figures started to walk towards Endou. As the smoke cleared, everyone became surprised to see them. "K-Kanon! Baddap!" Endou cried out in surprise. "How are you, great-grandpa?" asked Kanon. "It's been a while, Endou," said Baddap. "What are you two doing here? How-" Endou could not finish as Kanon interrupted. "Great-grandpa, you all are in grave trouble. I was able to come here just in time to warn you that a secret group will attack you to erase your existence. Baddap and I are not enough to help you, so I brought a friend. Everyone, this Gouenji Masato!"
Everyone was shocked to hear the name Gouenji. "Gouenji is Masato related to you?" asked Endou. "Yes, Endou, he's my cousin. Long time no see, eh?" Gouenji smiled. "Yes, and I've improved a lot too! I'm no longer the weaker one!" said Masato. "We'll see that later, but first—"
Kanon could not finish his sentence. A man in black robes appeared in front of the team, suddenly from nowhere. "So this is the legendary Inazuma Japan, eh? We'll see what you can do! Tomorrow, you play a match against my team. If you lose, consequences will be dire. Farewell!" and then the man disappeared.
"It was him. His team is the one I was talking about. We can't let him win!" said Kanon. "But Kanon, tell us more about them," insisted Endou. "This is all I know: the team we will face is much stronger than The Ogre. The team's name is Royal Merit. And the leader is a very dangerous man. He goes by the code-name of AJ," said Kanon. "Okay minna, you heard what Kanon said!" said Endou, "Let's practice to our best and defeat the team!" "HAI!" replied everyone.
Inazuma Japan's members spent the rest of the day training hard for their match. At the end of practice, Gouenji had a talk with his cousin. "Masato, are you ready for this? It will be quite tough for you." Asked Gouenji. "No problem, cousin, I'll give my best!" Masato replied cheerfully.
A new threat looms large. Can Endou's Inazuma legend Japan defeat the mighty Royal Merit? We'll see in the following chapter!
