I do not own Inazuma Eleven Orion.
Enjoy!
Two days later they were all called in and the identity of the person the coach kept around was revealed to be none other China's ace, Li Hao.
All this time, they had been natured in secret by the ace of the national team.
No wonder the boy had hid his identity from the world, because their would surely be an uproar if the media discovered he was helping the 'enemy' out.
But Xene didn't care as they all listened to how Li met the coach and became national level.
The exposition was unnecessary and they all went back to practise like nothing happened, until it was revealed that two of their most valuable players went missing and a search party went after them and found them at night.
The feelings made him want to walk away.
But he stayed to hear they apparently was approached by a Kappa, Kappa's were his species natural born enemy, he couldn't quiet hide the animosity when he said that world in his voice but it wasn't abdnormal enough to pay attention to.
Nosaka, appointed Ichihishi as his second in command because of his ability to analysis and the next morning, they were all set to head to the stadium for the match when they received not so quiet shocking news.
Apparently, the coach ate something he shouldn't have and was being wheeled to the hospital for something that would no doubt be painful for all party's involved.
The assistant coach had to step in and say they were leaving before it got even more ridiculous but then it occurred to all of them that since they no longer had a coach, they didn't have supervision.
The loud ones made a huge fuse about this when they were finally hit over the head with reality.
However, Xene expected the assistant coach to step in and the man did but through his well-trained eye, he could tell the man had zero to no experience with this.
Inazuma Japan was going to flop under his leadership but the man was the only adult here and they had to listen.
China team appeared and there was Ji, on the other team acting like he didn't know them and to further rub in the ridiculousness of it all, their own coach disguised himself on the other team.
Now, they had him as an enemy.
Xene was surprised to find out he was allowed onto the pitch, and the whistle blow and they ran to the ball.
Instantly china showed how amazingly athletically they were but in the eyes of Xene, he reasoned that what use was having fancy moves if you couldn't get the ball?
Obviously, everybody was thrown off by this strange play.
Ji went past them in a fluid motion and then the player called his team over to build a wall to take a shot.
Xene saw the holes in this immediately.
If the whole team was here, wouldn't their goal be virtually unprotected?
Ji went to shoot and Endou brought his three Majins out, only for their weakness to be revealed because it was defenceless against shots that arced from above.
1-0 to China.
Every human looked shocked but Xene wanted to sigh, even he knew Endou move had problems with overhead but they all acted like Endou couldn't be beaten before.
The whistle blew and Ji had the ball again, he breezed through them using his athletic ability like the first time.
However, just before somebody remarked how amazing he was, Xene came up.
Now, Ji had never actually faced Xene before but from his previous performance, he didn't think he was a problem.
However, what was different about this time was that Xene knew that everybody was useless against this guy, if somebody didn't step up to the plate.
They went at it and Ji tried to trick him, ending up throwing it into the air only for Xene to be in the air, in midback flip a moment later!
"What?" said, Ji and everybody was shocked including his own team mates and coach.
Xene then began to run, using the shocked time to his advantage.
This was the first time, the cameras were truly on him as he ran at a reasonable pace.
He heard people coming and continued to run, not slowing down at all, smiling all the way.
He was met with his first China's opponent.
"I'll stop you" she said, before kicking the ball up, only for him to crouch down as her leg was high in the air and he did a freakish heel turn around her.
"NANI!?" she said, along with everybody else.
Apparently, they weren't the only one who was freakishly flexible here.
"WHAT IS THIS! XAVIER HUNTER OF INAZUMA JAPAN IS RACING INTO CHINESE TERRORITARY!" said, the announcer.
Everybody was looking as he came across another one.
The person preformed a hisstue move but Xene was so beautiful as he dodged it all, showing his flexibility with the ball, he then had a clear shot because most of Chinese players were behind him by a long shot because of that move.
Xene ran only to trip over his own feet because he knew he couldn't be too amazing here.
However, as he came down, he managed to kick the ball.
The ball that was sure to be lazy, was not.
You could see the wind encase the ball as it sped towards the goal keeper.
The keeper didn't have time for hissuse mover, he had to put his arms out and block.
Block like his life depended on it.
"Its so strong!" said, the goal keeper. "What is this power!?"
Every single person could tell he was struggling a lot and it was shocking to be behold.
An explosion went off and everybody wondered if it was in.
The dust cleared and they saw the Keeper with the ball in his arms.
"AND HE STOPS IT!" yelled the announcer. "HE BARELY STOPS IT!"
They could all see the Goal keeper's gloves steaming from here.
The goal keeper looked proud until a shot of pain came from his left arm and everybody had a full view of him screaming and holding his left arm.
Everybody was understandably alarmed immediately.
"Oh, my god!" said, one Chinese rushing to see if he was okay.
The Ref had to call time out immediately.
All the while Xene was smiling like a devil in the eyes of many.
"What on earth did you do?" said, Hizaki.
Some players surrounded him.
"I didn't do anything" said, Xene. "I just kicked the ball. You can even check my shoes and even the ball"
The ref went to see if the goal keeper's arm was okay, before inspecting the ball to make sure it was the same ball, the ball was smoking right now as well.
All the evidence pointed to him having truly kicked that ball that hard.
Everybody could only watch in shock as China's main goal keeper was taken off the field and a sub was put on.
"WITH ONE KICK! HE FORCED CHINAS MAIN GOAL KEEPER OFF THE FIELD!" yelled the announcer.
Suddenly Xene turned to the assistant coach and said. "Sub me out. I'm too dangerous here"
Everybody was stunned including his own team mates.
However, Xene knew Inazuma Japan would never accept a victory by injury, with one kick he understood, he could land the whole Chinese national team in the hospital.
And he didn't need that attention right now.
"Alright" said, the man before it was announced that Xene was getting off.
"What this!" said, the announcer. "Xavier is being subbed out, after injuring China's main goalkeeper! Is Japan saying he's too dangerous to be on this field right now!?"
Watching Xene walk off the stage and be subbed out, was a blow to both sides.
Inazuma Japan was made to realise that the reason Xene was here was because he was actually better than all of them and suddenly the fact he trained alone made sense.
He would injure somebody if he partnered up.
It was a blow for China as well because they found out Inazuma Japan had a player who could make them useless but Inazuma Japan was refusing to let him stay in as if to taunt them.
Xene sat down and just watched with that creepy smile of his.
By the time half time came around, Inazuma Japan was losing 2-0.
This confirmed it, Xene was in fact better than the whole team.
Hiroto suddenly walked up to Xene and grabbed him by the shirt.
"Calm down!" said, Endou.
"Bastard!" said, Hiroto. "You were making fun of us this whole time, weren't you?"
"Hiroto.." said, somebody.
"This guy, could have helped us out so many times but he chose not to" said, Hiroto. "Where you laughing behind your back?"
"I was not laughing behind your back" said, Xene, stunning them all. "I am well aware that I am a bit of a monster. However, when I was approached, I was told that the team I would be put on was going to use my ability's to the max" he stunned them all as he continued logically. "From the beginning from what I've observed, this team was not at the level that can handle me. On the inside, egos were clashing and each of you were unrefined. The coach has been sharpening all of you from the moment he opened his mouth. Everybody was put into uncomfortable situations and with that, each of you were forced to evolve. I did nothing wrong with holding back a bit. Everybody got their moment to shine and force through their problems. We are now facing another problem and I would rather not see this team lose, when there is a way to succeed without me"
Everybody was stunned and was silent.
He was no longer the Xene they knew but somebody who had been through countless years of trouble.
Xene level of calmness put Nosaka to shame, his obliviousness to the high-strung feelings in the air was throwing everybody off.
"Now" he said, "Endou-san"
"Huh?" said, Endou.
"Your problem is above right?" said, Xene. "When you do the move, have you ever tried thrusting your arm up? You know, modify it a bit? A slight change in your movements, can transform your move into something completely different. Please try that when Ji comes at you"
"Ur, yes?" said Endou.
"As for everybody else, your problem is you can't get used to the strangeness" said, Xene. "What you all need to understand is that from what I've seen, they use their legs to go upwards like this. What you need to do is take your battle to the sky. Jump when they trap the ball and flip upside down. Stop thinking that you'll get a foul. What your hitting is the legs and not the head. When you jump the fear that the legs could kick you in the head immediately goes away"
Everybody was silent.
"If they start jumping around like that, pay close attention to their arms" said, Xene, before showing everybody. "The arms while be the tell tail sign of what the next movement while be. If the elbow starts getting lower, that means they are about to jump. If it gets higher that means they are most likely going start moving to the left or the right instead of jumping." before he said. "As for the wall. Who activates it is none other than Ji. It's an amazing technique, however if you managed to shut down Ji while all the major players run to the front, you can counterattack virtually unopposed. Once you got that ball, take the gap they need to turn around and run. Run and don't look back, they are faster than you by exactly 2.65 percent, any advantage you have, is the difference between making a goal or not. This is how we will turn 2-0, into 3-2 by the end of the second half"
Everybody stared at him with wide eyes, even the assistant coach.
He spoke with such confidence, that screamed years of experience with this sort of thing.
It was then that Xene realised that perhaps he had said too much, for a second he had dipped into his leader personality.
"Or, you can listen to what the coach says and ignore the rambling of me." Said, Xene breaking how they were all staring at him.
"Its a good plan." said, the assistant Coach. "We'll, do that."
"That was amazing, Xavier" said, Asuto. "You must be a playmaker"
"Me, a playmaker?" he said. "I've never thought about it?"
He honestly hadn't, he was a captain.
"Idiot, if you know we could win, you should have said something before." said, Fidou.
And that's when the whistle blew for the second half.
In the second half, they tried exactly what Xavier suggested and it not only levelled up Endou three Majins to a four, Inazuma Japan finally found their baring's by leaping when the ball was upside down in the air.
By the end of the match, it really was 3-2, to Inazuma Japan.
They were going to the world stage.
They went back to the bus and drove back in practical silence, however, the instant Xene was on land, he said to the acting coach.
"Coach, I'll take my leave now" he said, much to all of their surprise.
He bowed before walking away with his bag, before anybody could get a word in.
"Xavier Hunter..." said, one of the backup goalkeepers.
"Who is that guy?"
Yes, who was the guy behind that smile.
When morning came, Xene would find out nobody on the team intended to leave him alone.
And scene!
