I do not own Inazuma Eleven.
Enjoy!
DAD, JUST WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!?
Xene couldn't help but think as he sat down to have his breakfast, he was having a bowel of milk and instead of actually editable looking cereal, he was stuck with bugs that were trying to swim their way out of his bowl and unlike when he was a baby, they were not glowing or colourfully, instead they were ordinary brown or black.
It didn't look appetising at all, since he still inwardly thought himself as a human, so that's why he learnt long ago that if he shut his eyes and pretended to eat rosters chicken, then he could fool his taste buds into thinking he was eating roasted chicken.
He, like everyone else had to wait in one of the many lines in the hall to get his food, he had to make his way to a machine which scan the data from his watch, the data, told the machine exactly what species he was and what was recommended for his species diet.
Which made up this thing, the amount of money he owned was already taken from the allowance that his parents gave him, when he found out he would be allowed to go to school.
Aliens from different races, pointed and stared at him, and he thought, it wasn't even 9 yet and already the whole school seemed to know he was the principles son.
He found out fairly quickly that, if he came too close to one table, a wide gap was immediately made for him not because they wanted to be friendly.
It was because they feared him.
Well, they feared the man backing him up.
His father.
And if Xene was honest without himself, he also feared his own father on some level.
His childhood horror show, sprung to mind and he immediately pushed the memories deep into his subconscious where it was locked away for a later day.
He would not start relieving his second childhood trauma now!
In the end he found an empty floating table, it saddened him that he was all alone when he had thought he had made one friend.
He could feel dozens of eyes on his back, maybe wondering when he would finally crack and start trying to kill everything on sight.
But he was stronger than this, he had been through too much in both lives to be put down by something like this.
He would just have to start small and gradually show everyone that he's not going to follow in his father footsteps and earn some friends.
He was unaware of the two assessing looks from a certain fire and ice duo.
Ch 3: Scary coincidences
Xene couldn't help but ask, around about where his first class was, everyone he asked first looked shock to see him, before fear settled in and they promptly told him where he was supposed to go, as if fearing that if they didn't, they would find their head on a spike.
He sighed as he walked through a wall and found a door that had the letter 'U' on it but more rectangular, when you read nothing but Alien language for 150 years, you become very fluent in it so automatically his brain translated it to the number '15' before he walked through the door.
Only to be met with hover desks and a whole lot of familiar faces.
In fact, he could see a few were real life alien versions of his old team mates from Genesis when it was still operating.
It was a mixture of all five teams, not counting the team made up of two teams and most of them were looking at him with fear in their eyes,
How bazaar, he felt like he had stepped back into a time machine and was living the days of his first childhood, however the fact that his eyes were telling him that nobody in this room could possibly be called human, brought him back to reality pretty fast.
But he didn't waver at unwanted attention, and found a seat that didn't look like it was being used, unfortunately for him it was near the Claude look alike and he couldn't help the drops of sweat appearing on his forehead due to the heat.
But before he could move, the teacher came in by opening a portal in the front of the classroom.
More than one pair of eyes opened, in shock at the sight of a tall, green skin and pointy eared man step out of it, like it was the most casual thing in the world.
Those who barely reacted only did so because they were from a race that had a similar power.
"Everyone settle down" The man said, his voice low as everyone got into their chosen seats and said. "Now that you all settled down, now, it must be very exciting for you to believe that you got into such a privilege school as this, after all, you were the lucky few that were accepted out of the billions who applied"
B-Billions!? Xene thought, didn't his parents just tell him that he got in without applying for anything, now he felt like he somehow cheated his way into the school because of who his father is.
"But bear in mind, your fight isn't over" The man said, sternly. "Because the first week is designed to separate the weak from the strong, those who can't handle the work and don't meet up to standard are thrown out immediately, so make sure you put in 110% from now on and until your graduation"
While many didn't dare say it out loud but a lot of them were pitting Xene because of his race ridiculous life span and it only got worse from those who had human life spans or shorter.
Xene know, he was going to be here for a long time.
Yes, a very long time and the same could be said for those in the room who had a similar life span than him.
"Now let's take the register" The man said, as a hologram showed up in front him displaying each and every student name and details, having been uploaded into the system while they all were safely sleeping and began to read the register.
Xene was surprised that everyone in class, all answered to their alien counterpart names like he did, his eyes slid to a certain girl with snake based hair.
Globdlin could feel his gaze but she thought he was glaring at her or thinking about ways to torture her to pass his time.
His father image was too strong in her mind, he hadn't really done anything to prove that he was nothing like his father other than extend a hand of friendship to her, and even that she was questioning.
"Xene. Xene Klidax…" The man said, only for the man to trail off and look for the first time upwards to the person who answered.
"Here" Xene said.
The man eyes widened in shock.
It was a mini principle!
Since when did the man produce a spawn!?
The very idea of his boss devil spawns suddenly repopulating the universe scared the green out of him.
"Is there something wrong, sir?" Xene said, wondering if the man was shocked because he looked so much like his father.
"N-No, Xene-sama" The man said, politely and several eyebrows rose, certain students 'tch' at the special treatment he was getting because of who his father is.
Great, even the teacher's too!? Xene thought, before sighing. This was going to be a long day.
The man quickly wrapped the register up and special glasses suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Now, students" The man said, "I want you to all put these on, they are designed to automatically adjust themselves to your size and if you only have eye, they will correct themselves automatically. These glasses will convert this whole room into virtual reality, this will allow me to teach"
"Teacher, will this also allow me to check my Zbox, to see when I can nap?" The Claude look alike said, getting sniffles of barely contained laughter from a lot of people in the room.
Xene found himself fascinated that they all seemed to have their own unique laugher.
The teacher shot a glare at the fire breather and said. "Yes, you can Mr Torch. But doing so will get you a one way to trip to your first detention and I will make sure the room is as cold as possible, just for you"
The colour drained from Torch's face, everyone know that fire and ice don't mix, so they could only image what would happen to him if he was locked in such a room with such freezing temperature and ice everywhere.
It wouldn't be pretty, that's for sure.
"Anyone else, wanting to follow in the footsteps of Mr Torch, here?" The teacher asked, as everyone kept their mouth shut and looked around for anyone who would dare before he said. "Good, now put them on"
And they all promptly put them on, immediately it was a like a wave was sent to all corners of the room and they were all suddenly in front of a massive scale model of a planet that held a whole lot of water.
"Cool..." said somebody, nobody was sure who, but they all silently agreed that this was a cool thing to witness.
The man smiled, showing small inhuman teeth and said. "This is the planet, Aquaplos, as you can see most of the planet surface is covered in water"
# 2 hours later#
Globdlin felt herself give an 'eep' when she felt a tap on her right shoulder, even though she literal had eyes at the back of her head, thanks to her snakes, it didn't mean she could look through those eyes, they were a whole separate part of her.
It would take years to finally be able to see through them like her parents.
She turned slowly around nervously and to her horror, she saw the principles own son.
Immediately, she felt like she was facing a wild beast and what was worse, she know it was over before she realised it.
"Would you like to eat lunch, next to me?" Xene said, her terrified expression did not settle well with him.
Most of the class who hadn't left yet, all wondered what she was going to say.
Globdlin felt like a deer stuck in headlights.
She wanted to say no, but she didn't want him making her life hell her, her mother had been very hopeful that she would make friends here and she didn't want to disappoint and nodded shakenly.
Xene thought this was a great idea to get her to see he was nothing like his father.
But why was she saw far away?
# 20 minutes later#
They both arrived at one of the meadow like landings around the school, other students were also eating lunch but the moment he came, the place went mysterious silent.
Curse his old man for being such a frightening person!
He sat down on a hovering bench with his snack, it was a long bread roll stuffed with live warms.
Yum, tasty.
Never had food look so disgust in his life.
Globdlin shakenly sat down opposite him with a plate of purple rodent kebab and she ate it like it was the most natural thing in the world and from her expression she was fully enjoying it.
If he had been human, he would have rushed to the toilet to throw up at the mere sight of a chopped head with the eyes being plucked out.
He couldn't help but wonder, what was more revolting, eating insects and anything that crawl out of the ground or eating rodents?
Globdlin kept on glancing at him as if she expected him to do something unpleasant.
Just what had changed? Xene thought, she never look at him like this this even though they had known each other for roughly under a day and he was about to open him mouth to say, when he was interrupted by any annoying and cocky voice who shouted.
"HEY, YOU!"
Xene didn't turn around, after all his name was 'Xene' not 'you' and besides, he got the sneaky suspicious that his father was watching him.
"DAMN IT, I'M TALKING TO YOU!" the red head was clearly annoyed this time.
"You have to say his name or nobody will know who you're talking to" Someone said, making his eyes momentary widen at the sound of his former Inazuma Japan team mate, Midorikawa Ryuuji but that voice sounded nothing like the gentle one he came to know, in fact it sounded like when he acted as Reize.
Xene took a glance back to find a childhood version of a good friend of his, but this one didn't have the eyes that spoke of humbleness and kindness, this person's eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and cockiness.
It was just like watch Midorikawa play Reize.
But Xene found himself inwardly shuddering at the realisation that Midorikawa wasn't merely acting a fictional role this time.
The boy behind him, was not only Reize in body but also in spirit too, Midorikawa was the one who didn't exist.
"Shut up, you" Torch said, as the boy smirked.
"It's not 'you' but 'Reize'" The boy said, raising to his full height. "And I think you will do well to not talk to me with such tone. I believe the humans have a saying I believe don't, 'Bite off more than you can chew'. I don't think you would like to make an enemy out of me"
And Torch was more than pissed, who did this guy think he is!? And said. "Don't act so high and mighty! What kind of guy quotes the word of lowly humanoids? As for your name, I don't care who you are, I will take a hundred o-URK!" he was punched in the gut by an punch made out of pure ice, knocking him down.
"Torch, it seems that heat has finally reached your head because your too hot blooded sometimes, you let your mouth speak before your brain. One day that mouth will get you into serious trouble" The Gazelle look alike said, casually.
"Urk-G-Gazelle, you bastard" The fire user, barely wheezed out.
"Didn't you say you were going to talk to the Principles son?" Gazelle stated calmly, what an idiot. "What are you doing causing a scene, here?"
And Torch hated to admit it but Gazelle was right, he had a mission to complete and the sight of that guy just sitting there ignoring everything that is happening in the background, just pissed him off.
How dare he act so high and mighty because he's the principles own son!
Torch got up from the floor and walked towards the table Xene and Globdlin was sitting at, the girl let out an 'eep' at the sight of Torches glare.
"Hey, it's Xene, right?" Torch said, and Xene finally looked at him hearing his name, behind the fire user was none other than Gazelle and Xene was reminded strongly of his fake Alius academy days were the two would always cause trouble because they didn't like the fact that someone was higher up than them.
"Yes?" He said, he was 179 mentally for god sake, he could take care of children.
"I will say this now" Torch said, "Many of us, don't like the fact that you're, not even supposed to be here. That you could have used your father to get her because he's the principle son, when we all had to go through blood sweat and tears to wear these uniforms"
And Xene said, nothing, if he had known about everyone else, he would have never taken the chance to go to school but he didn't want to stay in that house for the rest of his life until he reached adulthood.
"To us, just because we wear the same uniform doesn't mean you're one of us" The fire user continued. "To us, you have to prove to all of us, that you deserve to wear this uniform and walk through these halls like the rest of us."
"And what would you have me do?" Xene said, giving him a look like he was nothing more than a child which flustered the alien and made his father swell with a little pride in his cold black heart.
"B-Battle" Torch said, he didn't mean to stutter. "Everyone knows that not only is knowledge power, but that all falls flat when you don't have the power to use that knowledge." Before saying. "If you can beat me in a battle than I will accept you"
"And me" Gazelle injected, making them all look at him. "What? I'm getting in on some action too, Why should Torch have all the fun?"
"I think, I'm going to get in one this too" Reize said, coming towards them. "I too don't like the fact that he used his own father to get in when I, will all my family connection couldn't even get clues to the trails that I will be facing. It quite frankly irritates me"
Torch, Gazelle and Reize, or when do we add, Desarm to add to the full set? Xene thought, he was unable to believe that the counterparts of the captains of the all the teams of the fake Alius Academy was coming together like this.
Meanwhile Globdlin couldn't help but be worried about him, even though she still feared him.
"Oh, come on!" Torch said, annoyed. "Who else is going to join in today!?" it was supposed to be him versus this rich boy, originally.
"Me" A warm hole appeared out of nowhere and there stood none other than Desarm, the counter part of Saginuma Osamu, and also the same guy who cowered in front of him but this time there was a certain gleam in his eyes.
It was like he was a beast who finally found a worth rival.
"Weren't you the guy who as the humans would call it 'Stuck his tail in between his legs' a mere hours ago" Reize said.
"Now that's a smart saying" Gazelle said, maybe he should use that some time.
"I must admit; I was scared than because of the power you held over me" Desarm said, "But I've observed you for quite some time now and I've come to the conclusion that you aren't the type of guy who would abuse his authority, he had over others, plus when I hear the word 'Battle'…I just couldn't help myself." His eyes glow red.
Globdlin was more than a little surprised and she wasn't the only one.
"I would like to request from Xene-sama himself, if I can participate in this battle" He said, "You see I'm quite skilled in my home town and there are not many who can match me. I have a feeling that if I fight with you than I can finally have the battle I've always dreamed off"
"Desarm-sama…" Someone said, only a few know who.
There's four people, he's outmatched, he can- Globdlin began and so did many other until Xene got up and said.
"You may participate" shocking most of them.
"You seem, overly cocky considering your battling against four people" Gazelle said, noting with a frown.
"Well, I have to be" Xene said, "After all, I am my father son" not that it was a good thing, he mentally added. "And Klidax never backs down from a fight" knowing this would please his father greatly and he was right.
"So what's the battle?" Xene asked, turning to the person who started this whole mess.
Torch smirked and said.
"It's what lowly humanoids call, Soccer."
And scene!
