Kapitel 19: Let's Go Home
"What is it, Yuuichi!? What's happened to Endou?" Exclaimed Kidou from the field.
"Nothing.. Just focus on the game, Kidou.. Leave Endou to us.." Answered Yuuichi by holding Endou's shoulders.
"Where are you looking, goggles head!?" Giris stole the ball by roughly crushing on Kidou.
Kidou thudded to the ground, but he signaling the others not to help him since Giris was already right face to face with Tachimukai. Again, he used Dead Future together with Meia and as Giris booted the ball hardly; there were Gouenji, Fubuki and Toramaru standing firmly in front of the goal keeper.
"The best defense is the offense!" Exclaimed Toramaru which was agreed by both of his companions next him.
As the ball was getting closer, Gouenji kicked it back by his Maximum Fire, yet it just crushed him away then Fubuki and Toramaru came together kicking the ball which had slower speed than before but in the end, they're blown away letting the ball thrown above them. Tachimukai grabbed it fast before one of the opponent's player stole it.
"Safe desperately.." Said Saryuu looking down on them.
Kidou started the counterattack by dribbling the ball fast to the opponent's area. He then passed it to Gouenji who connected it to Toramaru.
"Tiger Drive!"
After the kick, the ball tremendously rocketing to The Lagoon's goal.
"Just go with this one!" Shouted Fubuki.
He linking the shoot with his Eternal Blizzard but unfortunately, Rococo was able to stop it by just his hand without a hissatsu. Inazuma team couldn't release a single word due to shocking view.
"Saru!" Exclaimed Rococo by throwing the ball to Saryuu.
The long pass was accepted safely by Saryuu, "well, it's the time.. Let me finish this fast.." He kicked the ball hardly.
Without even using the hissatsu, Saryuu's shoot was as strong and as fast as one of it. In a blink of an eye, the ball was passing right next to Tachimukai's face, leaving a scratch on his cheek. Another score for The Lagoon which also their victory.
"The playtime is over now.." Said Saryuu by waving at his teammates. He let the team left except Teres, "now.. Let's take him.." Said him by signaling Teres to follow him as he left the field.
"Taking him?" Toramaru looking at Saryuu confusedly.
"You're not thinking that the match is just for playing around, are you?" Saryuu glanced at Toramaru, "of course there's a reward for the winner.." He pointed his thumb at Endou.
"Kidou-san.." Tachimukai worriedly looking at Kidou, "what should we do now?"
Kidou clenched his fist without releasing a single defensive word. He just threw his sight out of where Endou was, ignoring Saryuu who was slowly approaching him. It's not only Kidou, but Gouenji also could doing nothing at the current situation.
"You're not allowed to come closer, Saryuu Evan!" Exclaimed Tachimukai who suddenly appeared in between Saryuu and Endou.
"I'm not allowed?" Saryuu chuckled, "well, at this rate you're all will disappear.." He glanced at Kidou, "you know what I mean, right representative captain?"
Kidou loosened his grab then exhaled deeply, trying himself to keep his mind in a calm state. He nodded at Gouenji then stepped to the same bench.
"Allow him to take Endou.." Said Kidou determinedly.
The whole team was shocked with Kidou's decision.
"Kidou! What did you just say!?" Someoka growled.
"I said let him to take Endou.." Kidou rephrased, "don't make me repeat my words, Someoka.. Just do what he said.."
"What's wrong with you, Kidou-san? It's not like you.." Tachimukai worried, "how come you let the enemy to take our captain?" He grabbed Kidou's shoulders.
"Enemy? Don't judge as you pleased, dear goal keeper.." Saryuu sighed, ruffling his hair, "how come you treat me like I'm the villain? That's rude.."
"Isn't it because you looking down on them, captain?" Said Teres flatly.
Sweat flew down on Saryuu's face, "I did?" He pointed his finger at his own face, "well.. That's how I function.. Don't blame me.." He snorted, "now.. My dear Lightning team.. Let me to take Endou.." He shooing the team then came closer to Endou, "EM15, Endou Mamoru.. Let's go home.."
Saryuu's tone changed drastically from arrogant to soft and warm tone. He offered his hand toward Endou and waiting for the reply of him. As Endou's eyes met with Saryuu's, tears flew down his cheeks. His blank stare started to trace Saryuu's figure before him.
"Sa... ru..." Endou murmured.
"Yes, I'm here.." Said Saryuu by tapping Endou's shoulder, "let's go back.. To our home, Endou Mamoru.."
Slowly, the view around them changed and now they're back to the usual room as before. The blow of the wind causing the curtain on the window waved like escorting the disappearance of the lightning team from the current room.
"So.. They're moving already.." Said someone who suddenly appeared behind the curtain.
"Are we late, Ozrock-sama?" Said another one who following him behind.
"No.." The figure, who was called as Ozrock, stepped into the room then scanning all the sides, "we're not late.. It's just a hide and seek, Baddap.." He grinned maliciously, "it's more interesting this way.. Don't you think that hunting the prey is more exciting?"
"Yes, Ozrock-sama.." Baddap bowed.
"This time.. This time for sure, Baddap.." Said Ozrock intensely with a keen glare at Baddap, "we will get them all! We will! Yes we will..." He laughed devilishly, "that's the only way to gain the path to the dimensional witch, Baddap.." He clenched his fist tight before his face, "and we will recreate this world under the wish.."
A gust hit the whole room at once as the same time as the two figures disappeared, leaving an echo of maleficent laughing in the whole room.
