I do not own Inazuma eleven.
Enjoy!
Once again, the appearance of Xene and his fellow Captains had caused quiet an uproar amongst the natives.
But what really branched out of the island, was the name 'Aiden Dewback', the boy who managed to bring out something frightening from his body while playing soccer and it wasn't a special move.
But what really blow this thing up, was that several days later in another part of the world, a child was also reported to have unlocked their own version of the 'creature' that appeared on that day.
Once it was confirmed, it was studied and people found out, you couldn't touch it or talk to it and for some strange reason it only came out while playing soccer.
The method to activating it was, putting yourself under a huge amount of stress and have your emotions run extreme high, however not everybody could unlock this special power.
Those who did, became unstoppable on the field of soccer and could only be stopped by those who use the same power.
Aiden Dewback, had started a new era in Humanity and many want out to locate the boy, even locating his house.
Only to be told by the servants that the 'Young Master' was currently back at school and if they wish for an interview, then they would need to contact the school Principle.
However, the trouble was.
None of them could find out anything about 'Alius Academy'
Ch 25: Blaptox chooses to abandon his Humanity.
It's has been half a year since Blaptox enrolled into Alius academy and as soon as he came back from his holiday, he was soon forced to stare at the ground, because the massive gravitational pull was back.
His first mistake, was unleashing the confidence that he had gained seeing his increased strength and use that, to push himself up.
The ending wasn't pretty.
He ended up in the nurse's office, due to severe blood losses and certain parts of his body were bent a weird way.
And it wouldn't be the last time he ended up there, either.
As his strength grow, the nurse would often find him occupying one of her bed's, to the point, she even had a bed prepared just for him.
Yes, it was humiliating, having those who were walking by, see him everytime, but he bared the shame.
It took him a full two months after his break, to be able to finally stand on his own two feet and be able to kick an Alius grade ball without cracking one of his bones.
A massive accomplishment.
His captain must have saw this, because one day, he announced.
"Blaptox. You'll be accompanying us to the next tournament" Reize said, leaving him in shock and the rest of the team as well.
Noticing this, the alien said. "Is that a problem?"
"N-No, sir" Blaptox said quickly, while happiness bloomed in his heart.
His first Alius academy match!
He was so happy that he excitedly told Xene about it, even though the alien, gave no indication that he was interested in seeing words come out of his mouth.
Blaptox just appreciated that Xene was willing to listen to him, even though the alien was reading while doing it.
His excitement grow in the day's leading up to game day and when he was told, they will be traveling by ball, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Teleportation, just didn't agree with him.
Being inside an Alius grade ball, was certainly a very interesting experience for him, to his shock, the ball was much bigger on the inside than it was on the outside.
If words could describe the interior of the ball, it would be that it was a spaceship, the kind that you only see on Television.
His eyes couldn't help but sparkle seeing cool alien technology.
No matter, how much the other's laughed at him for being impressed, he just continued to look on in awe.
They just couldn't understand how amazing it was, for a human being to see the inside of a real life alien spacecraft.
He was told to sit down as the ball traveled at a speed much faster than speed of light and he soon told to stand on a round platform, something about leaving an impact when they all came out, which he really didn't understand.
Anyway.
When they finally emerged, they looked very impressive to the outside alien's, since they were standing in some kind of formation.
It was then that Blaptox met his coach for the first time.
A person who didn't have eyes in his head but instead in his hands, if he wasn't so used to the strange and creepy, he would have screamed and ran, instead of being slightly surprised.
The man introduced himself as 'Gal', he was one of five coach's, that only show up on game day, meaning all five teams were self-taught by their own captains.
Than the team was shown to where Gemini Storm will be staying for two days.
They only had twenty minutes to settle in before, they were called for their first match and he was put on the bench.
The stadium they were in, was appropriately called 'Porcupine Stadium' in human language, Blaptox couldn't pronounce it, when he read the words because his mouth couldn't say the vows.
The Stadium looked like a normal stadium, until you notice the patches of grass that looked a bit off and the spikes that kept on coming out of them every couple of seconds at random.
Blaptox, had never seen a stadium that worked against a player before, this kind of Stadium would frighten anybody and yet all he could see was calm faces.
The other team, noticeably had spikes on their body, so they looked right at home while those on Gemini Storm, did not even blink at the danger in front of their eyes.
You certainly won't see this on Earth.
Blaptox was than surprised to so many different kinds of alien's in the stand's, it made him realize, just how big the galaxy was compared to him.
The whistle was blown and it was Gemini Storm ball.
The moment they got the ball, Blaptox saw just how fast he had to be, to be a regular on the team.
Just seeing them all run forward, had him in shock.
If he had seen so much strangeness just by going to Alius academy, there was no way, he would be able to see anything with that speed.
The other team seemed to be surprised by his team's speed as well, as they fearless rushed into the pitch, if a spike came up, the ball would be passed.
However, the other team was good as well, they soon intercepted the ball after the first pass.
The other team had clearly done their research into Gemini Storm but nobody on Gemini Storm lost their composure.
In fact, Blaptox couldn't help but notice how quickly each team mate gave up, in trying to get the ball back, both irritating the opponent and fill them with confidence.
"Is this really Alius Academy?" He heard from one of the members on the opponent's team. "It looks like this year; the cup is ours. I don't know why they're so, feared? They're nothing special."
Blaptox couldn't help but feel insulted and clench his hand's.
It felt like, they were insulting him as well.
In no time at all, the opponent had shamelessly appeared in front of the goalie, who didn't even look interested in what was going on.
"If you're not even going to look at the ball, than it will be easy to score." Said, the alien who was dribbling the ball.
Suddenly, the alien whistled and seven very strange looking penguins with red fangs for teeth appeared out of the ground.
What the hell is that!? Blaptox thought, looking at the strangest group of Penguins he had ever seen.
Then two of the players team mates, ran up and the player kicked the ball, suddenly the ball turned into a blue and white fire ball, before being attacked by the strange looking penguins increasing the balls power and speed, because of the much faster rotation.
The players team mates fearlessly, kicked the ball at the same time, before letting it go.
"GENIMI PENGUIN D!" All three sounded.
Blaptox felt anger at that name.
It was clear, this move was developed to give Genimi Storm a big slap in the face.
Suddenly a very powerful shot was going towards Genimi Storm's goal, even from here, Blaptox could feel the power from that shot.
It got his heart pounding.
He didn't know even he was smiling, but the coach sure did.
What a weird, human. Gai thought.
"Alright, this shot is going in!" All three said, and those who watched couldn't help but think so too, the goalie put up no defense.
However, the shot did not go in.
The goalie just casually grabbed the ball and yawned.
.
.
A deep silence spread throughout the stadium, as many couldn't believe what just happened.
"Is that it?" The goalie said, yawning, before he throws to Reize.
The goalie, had no idea that the other team had spent several week's coming up with that special move just to fight Alius academy, his actions had crushed the blazing spirit within them.
However, it could got worse from there.
It was like a flame had been lit inside Genimi Storm and they were all suddenly much faster and very flexible.
Reize, put out the word to the rest of the team, that their opponent should not be allowed to touch the ball.
And they all obeyed.
Not a single person on the opposite side touched the ball.
Before his very eyes, Blaptox bore witness to a brutal crushing defeat.
Genimi Storm was eating their opponent alive, not a single person got the ball other than to do a kick off and to make matters worse, Genimi Storm was even using their opponent's bodies to pass the ball to each other.
It was barbaric and if this was Earth, people would be shouting for them to stop.
But this wasn't Earth.
There was no shouts for them to stop.
There was no shout's full of horror.
There was no shout's, calling Genimi Storm a group of savages.
Just cold, hard, silence.
In the end, the game only lasted ten minutes, because the other team was too injured to play.
Genimi Storm had taken them all out, including those on reserves.
Genimi Storm, not only killed their spirit but also injured their bodies too.
Who know's, how much time it would take, for them to heal?
And that was assuming that they even had the courage to pick up a Soccer ball again.
And this the team he was part off?
Did Xene do this too, whenever he want out to play!?
Was this the attitude of the strong?
"To think, it would be such a shock to you" Said, a voice from beside him, making him jump out of his skin.
Blaptox blinked, he didn't even realise the first match was over and he was staring outside the window at the emptiness of space, he turned around to find none other than Xene.
He almost had a heart attack seeing the Alien, and so did the aliens who were walking by.
It was Xene from Alius Acedmy top team, Genesis!
Many of them, were scared stiff at the sight of him.
What the hell was he doing here!?
Was he going to play in the tournament?
Xene, caught the scent of extreme fear in the air towards him.
Blaptox unaware of the complete fear around Xene, said. "Xene-sama? What are you doing here?"
"Well, Blaptox. I had some free time, so I thought I would watch Genimi Storm." Xene said, making Blaptox blink.
Wait, Xene was in the stands!?
HE DIDN'T NOTICED HIM AT ALL!
He would have thought, he would be able to pick Xene out from the crowd!
"Although it's perfectly understandable that you were put on the bench on your first match. Being put out there, would do more harm than good." Xene said.
Xene words were like a knife to his heart.
Such brutal worlds...
But it was the truth.
"Xene-sama. Can I ask you something?" Blaptox said.
"I have exactly three minutes left, so made it quick" Xene said.
"Well...are all the match's like that?" Blaptox said, and Xene, suddenly understood.
The human boy was in shock.
"Yes" Xene said, "It is important for Alius academy to crush their opponent."
"Carnt we just, win?" Blaptox said, "I saw my opponent's eyes. Why did the team have to crush their spirits?" Who knows how many, would dare to play soccer again after such a defeat?
"Blaptox. This isn't a playground or Earth." Xene said, "You have to change your attitude. This might fly on Earth but out here, you will be mocked for being too soft. You will be taken advantage of, because of your kind heart. Do you think, if the situation were reversed, Genimi Storm wouldn't be crushed like that? Because we're strong, it's only naturally that there will be those who want to pull us off our throne and trample all over us. If you cannot handle the reality, then tell your captain Reize that you've resigned. I'm sure many others would jump to take your place."
And the worse thing about it was, Xene looked at him, like he wasn't even there.
Blaptox suddenly understand that if he backed out now, he would kiss being acknowledge by Xene goodbye and even his Captain would look at him, like he was trash.
Who knows how worse his school life would be, if everybody know, he backed out because he was 'too kind', he would not only be hated, he would be the laughing stock of the whole school.
He didn't have a place to hide and be around people, who wouldn't hate him for anything he did.
He only had Alius academy and Xene.
If he lost both of them, he wouldn't have a reason to live.
Didn't he already decide that he would abandon his humanity to become a Monster?
And besides, he had nothing to tie him down to his humanity, so what use was it, keeping it?
So, he said with a smile. "I wouldn't dream of quitting. I'm going to ride this wave all the way to the end"
And then the impossible happened.
Xene's lip's twitched upwards.
Blaptox, wouldn't have noticed it, if he hadn't subconsciously engraved every part of Xene's face into his mind and he was left stunned.
"Well, that's good to hear" Xene said, "I also came to inform you, Genesis has a big tournament coming up, soon. The principle likes to scare people, every once in a while, by sending Genesis out to play at random Tournaments, so you won't see me for a month. We will keep in contact through communication provided by the school."
And all Blaptox could do was nod in a daze, as Xene turned around and left, via teleportation.
Did Xene, just smile?
"hehehe"
Before he know it, he found himself laughing stupidly, making lots of aliens who were walking by, look at him like he was crazy.
But he didn't care!
A smile from the usual cold and emotionless Xene, was like the alien was given him a hug.
It made him feel warm inside, realising he had done good by choosing to abandon his Humanity.
His dream was to get Xene to hug him for real and say he was proud of him.
Becoming a monster seemed to be the Key, to getting into Xene heart.
Or did, the Alien even have a Heart?
Actually, what was Xene true appearance outside his 'base' form?
Blaptox eyes burned with childish curiosity.
However, little did he know, abandoning his Humanity would be easier said than done.
That night, he met a boy named Fubuki Shirou in a dream...
And scene!
Next chapter, Blaptox and Fubuki Shirou finally meet in the dream world, however Shirou quickly realizes that there is something wrong with his brother and starts to suspect Atsuya, may actually, be alive. Meanwhile Blaptox think's that 'Fubuki Shirou' is just figment of his imagination and is confused by what he talks about. Review/fav and follow!
