I do no own Inazuma Eleven.
Enjoy!
"A soccer Party?" Said Xene.
"Yes, there is a Orion sponsored soccer party going on, on a ship" said the servant before him. "All the top teams participating in the Orion tournament will be there including Spains team. After that, all of the team's will be in Russia for the final battle ground"
Soccer.
Wasn't Hiroto doing that?
To think he would completely forget about the team that snubbed him and everybody but Hiroto, who was rich.
But how would Hiroto react to him now?
"Alright, i'll go" he said. "Prepare a suit"
He didnt care if both Torch and Gazelle heard him.
His measurement was basically on the internet at this point so it was easy to get him a one of a kind suit and shoes.
He was driven to the sight in a limosuine and by the time, he arrived the party was in full swing.
He adjusted his tie and found somebody waiting to greet him.
"Welcome Commander Xene. Right this way" said the man and than he followed the man down the docks and onto the plank leading to the lively yacht.
The man went in to announce to the organiser and those involved that he was here, of course those nearby were interested since there seems to be something going on.
They heard the words 'Commander Xene' and those who had seen the news began whispering amongst themselves.
"What commander Xene is here? That child?"
"What do you mean child, hes most likely decades old!"
"I want to see"
Kabey didn't know whether to laugh or cry, these people wouldn't have glanced Tatsuya way and now people were wispering and trying to see him.
But it seemed Xene had vanished and nobody really noticed until he came strolling through the top football players on the planet and into Inazuma Japan territory.
He stopped a comfortable distance away from Hiroto and said.
"Hello, Hiroto"
The.
Look.
On.
His.
Face.
Was.
Satisfy.
Kabey had it all on tape and intended to rewatch this hundreds of times.
Hiroto was speechless and many of the Inazuma Japan members could not believe their eyes.
The last time they saw this person was months ago when Hiroto was on his first ever team.
"You?" Said Kidou.
"Who he?" Said somebody who had no knowledge of the match that went on.
"He's Hiroto old team mate" said somebody. "But what's he doing here?"
How did he get in here?
"Check out the quality of his clothes" said ichihoshi.
They did.
Finally the coach spoke up and said. "Tatsuya Kirayama, I didn't expect to see you. However what are you doing here? This is only for the soccer teams. You need a-"
And that's when Shinjou Takuma, the chairmen of Orion right hand man, showed up and said. "Commander Xene"
They all turned to see the man walking up and shockingly enough stop in front of the red head.
"Its such an honour to meet you" said the man, as everybody eyes were wide.
He put his hand out and Xene took it.
"The chairman has told me so much about you" he said. "I hope you enjoy this party sponsored by the Orion Foundation"
Everybody looked like they were being slapped.
"Well, I'm not staying here for long. I only came to see one person" he said, releasing the hand. "I'll socialise a bit and than talk to Hiroto later in private"
"If you have something to say to me, you can say it now." Said Hiroto, finally finding his voice. "I saw the news. I think its a pretty funny joke though"
"News?" Said Endou.
"Japan is going crazy" said Kidou. "Their saying aliens have been found"
"Oh, so you read that? So I can drop all pretenses with you guys than." He said, confusing them but than something in his voice just changed as he said. "You humans are truly an amusing species."
And just like that, the warm and bustling atmosphere went dead silent.
Xene opened his eyes and it was looking at a completely different person.
His eyes were no longer so bright but now they breemed with a layer of maturity.
Hiroto actually took a step back when he saw Xene eyes.
"Allow me to introduce myself to you all" he said. "My name is not Tatsuya Kirayama. Tatsuya Kirayama was just an identity created to collect data. My real name is Xene. I am the commander of the SpaceShip called 'The Genesis'. You have served your purpose well, Hiroto Kira and now I have no further use for you. In other words, your friendship means nothing to me and i'll prefer that you don't stick to me like glue."
Everybody was stunned.
No they were absolutely speechless.
They did not expect somebody to say, they had been using Hiroto Kira today and the guy himself looked like his brain stopped working.
"You broke their brains, Xene" Said a voice Xene didnt even have to turn around to know.
Torch and Gazelle walked up from behind him, both in their own style of suits.
"Nagumo, Suzuno!?" Hiroto couldn't believe his eyes.
But those eyes that usually had a little bit of strong will, now were cold and both of them ozzed a crazy amount of presence.
They put Gouneji Shuuya to shame.
"I believe its a principle of emotions" said Gazelle. "It must be quiet a slap to find out, the person who you befriended was only using you to collect data. It was a miracle that we all could hide how we loathed this human."
All the while his voice just echoing through the whole ship, echoing as if there were speakers at all corners of the ship.
"I was trying hard not to laugh" said Torch, his mechanical voice on full display. "A rich boy who had daddy issues didnt question one bit why we were being nice to him or why Xene was sucking up to him and his daddy so badly. If I dont win an award for best acting when we get back, it would be a crime"
These two...their assholes. Many people thought but didnt say out loud.
"I dont believe it" suddenly Inamori Asuto spoke up. "When I faced you all, you all loved soccer, I could tell. You believed Hiroto would show up and he did"
Finally Xene spoke and said. "What you saw was a lie"
He stunned the guy and Hiroto.
"A lie crafted over years of observation" said Xene. "I did what I did to get into his fathers good graces. He was paying my bills after all. However Hiroto father is no longer of use to me."
Suddenly Hiroto grabbed him by the shirt and said. "You bastard! I'm not just some money well"
"No, you were a data well." Said Xene. "That type of raw emotions you have produced valuable data. Once we got you down pat, their was no needs to go after your new team mates"
Everybody was taken back, even the adults.
Xene took his hand off his shirt and said. "Your going to be playing in Russia for the finals and I will be watching. However I know you'll never reach number one because you guys dont have a serious backbone.
Stuffing your team with okay forwards, hoping nobody would notice that most of your power came from your injured star player isnt going to work at this stage. What's the point of building power if you dont have the right spine to release it?"
Everybody stunned.
"We'll take my leave now" said Xene to the Chairman right hand man. "Nice party."
"Like im going to l-" began Torch.
"Do it" Xene said, in a voice of somebody who clearly knew how to rein people in and know when not to be soft.
Suddenly both of them turned around and Xene marched them out like an adult marching out naughty children.
When he marched them to the limosuine, he got out of, Gazelle said "Why did you give them advice?"
He said nothing before saying. "Perhaps, I wanted something exciting to happen. The next match is going to be quiet a mess for them. Now they will know why"
Kabey thought about it.
Could the reason Tatsuya gave them advice because deep down she hadnt completely erased the connection they had to each other?
Was Tatsuya connection to Hiroto that strong?
The following day, Xene purchased a ticket to Inazuma Japan next match along with several others and in a stadium, where people were more focused on the game, nobody would see the aliens right before their eyes.
And Xene had been right, the match was a mess.
It quickly became apparent that even with Kidou, a genius strategies now back on the field, he fell short of expertise and strength.
The fact that they had such a strong goal keeper is what saved Inazuma Japan in that match and gave them opportunities to score.
The game ended 2-1, Japan won but not a single person looked proud of themselves when they got off the field.
Their shortcommings were revealed in China's match but who would have thought, going up against a team that tough didnt make the next match, laughably easier?
Xene left before the true tantrums could begin.
When he got home, a package had arrived for him from his parents who sent him a fresh pie and a letter.
Honestly they could spend their whole life apart and never meet again.
But than something really shocking was delivered to Xene.
It was an invite to join Inazuma Japan.
It meant somebody there knew the team was in trouble, saw his potential and asked the committee to pass this along.
After all, he had a Japanese citizenship even though it was under a name he considered false.
But to think, somebody who knew how big of an asshole, he could be, would dare send him this letter.
Xene was sure Hiroto would punch him if he ever saw him again.
The real question is, was he bored enough to even entertain this?
Did he want to stay in the house that could break down any minute?
No, he did not.
"Bellatrax" he said, to his right hand girl. "I'm going to be moving out for a while. Please make sure nobody but you knows where I went. Who knows, I might even come back within days"
"I understand. Neither Torch or Gazelle scare me. The others will not ask any further questions" said Belltrax, in a tank top and jeans. "However, I heard the true chairman is coming over to see you"
"I dont care for that old woman" said Xene. "Nor do I care for this fight going on with the humans. Tell her I won't be seeing her. If she doesn't like it, there are basically hundreds of companies willing to offer us accommodation. We can move out any time"
They had gotten to the point that they could brush off such a big figure.
The old woman might screech but he didnt care.
He went to his posh room and was about to pack his human clothes when he realised he had clothes from his parents.
Clothes that were a symbol of his heritage.
His eyes softened and he packed them.
And than he called the number on the letter to let them know he was coming.
Early in the morning, before the rest of the house woke up, Xene made a sneaky escape, he entered a limosuine and made his way to the official Inazuma training ground.
He was dressed in normal human clothes designed to be more easy going with humans.
It wasn't hard to circle the grounds and figure out where everybody was.
He saw the coach look at him and he waited for the team to fill into the meeting room.
"Today, I would like to announce a new member of the team" said the man. "Please come in"
And he did so, he opened the fire exit door and came in, he could see so many teens eyes almost pop out and jaws drop.
He stood in front of them all and took in all their expressions.
"Our new member is Commander Xene of The Gensis" said the coach happily.
And than came the surprised wild shouts.
"Wait a minute. How is he allowed here?" Said somebody.
"Its because I have a Japanese birth certificate" he revealed. "Even though I wasn't born in Japan, as far as the law is concerned I am a Japanese born and raised" he stunned them. "And I must say, your coach wrote me quiet a convincing letter. You guys are lucky to have him"
"I won't accept this" said Hiroto.
"Oh? I can walk out right now. I dont need to be here" said Xene. "But is your bruised ego more important than finding somebody to transform the plastic spine the team has right now into a diamond?"
He stunned them all.
"You aren't just looking at anybody" he said. "You are looking at the best commander in the whole universe. I was fighting world class people when you were all learning to walk. If I can't help you, than nobody in Japan can help you. Or have you all forgotten what happened last year when Japan went up against another national team?"
Of course they hadnt, that was the day Japan realised they had the weakest national team on the planet.
That was the day Japan realised Zesus Junior, the team that almost put the Raimon Eleven in the hospital wasn't an earth shattering existence at all, it was just that they were so sheltered that they didnt know they were the weakest in the world.
"There are 100 of us but I am literally the only one with a Japanese birth certificate willing to help you guys" said Xene. "You may not believe my background, but are you seriously going to turn down the only person who has the experience and will to work on your spine? If thats the case, there is truly no hope for Inazuma Japan is there? How unfortunate"
Everybody was stunned, it was like he was possessed by something.
Xene said. "I waiting for more objections so I can walk. I have a meeting with Orion right now but instead I chose to be here."
Nobody said anything and he took that as a 'Please help us' moment.
"Alright, humans" he said. "I'm going to show you what it means to training on the Galaxtic level. Time to play, Earthlings"
And Kabey clapped.
Convincing people of the existence of aliens was always so fun.
She needed pie for this.
And scene!
