Chapter 5: Constellation Lights vs Raimon part 1
"...so, we all agree?" Blizzard asked again, even though the answer was clear. They had made it clear after all, that no matter what, no matter whether it was right or wrong, they would follow him to the end. Always.
"Yes sir." The rest of Constellation Lights said simultaneously.
'Such loyalty.' Atsuya smirked. 'That's why we like them. That's why we still stay with them despite all the craziness.'
'And that's why they are our team.' Blizzard smiled inwardly. He looked at his teammates. "Thank you, you guys are..."
"Don't mention it, captain." Mini smiled at him. "Our loyalty is not for sale. You have earned it, so you will always have us by your side."
"Whether you like it or not." Mios smirked playfully.
Blizzard laughed. "Well, I still have to thank you guys anyway. Now, let's call it a night and get some rest. We have a big day ahead after all."
"Yes sir." One again, the rest of Constellation Lights said at the same time. Yes, it was going to be a big day tomorrow, and it wasn't because of the match only.
~The next day~
"Just where are they?" Endou wondered, looking around. Raimon had arrived to the stadium for about half an hour, yet their opponents were nowhere in sight.
"Maybe they change the date of the match again?" Touko guessed.
"Then shouldn't they send us another letter?" Aki said, and mentally shuddered at the mention of the unnervingly sappy letter they received a week ago. The sappiness of it gave her serious goosebumps, which was scary.
"Don't tell me they are late!" Someoka exclaimed angrily. This was unacceptable. First, they changed the date of the match because of a freaking movie night. And now, Raimon had to wait half an hour for them? Seriously?
Up in the grandstand, Burn snickered while looking at Raimon.
"Look at them. Standing there all frustrated." He chuckled, before glancing at Gran. "But, where are Blizzard and his team anyway?"
"Knowing that team, they are probably going to do something dramatic." Gran smirked a little.
Another ten minutes passed, and Constellation Lights still hadn't showed up. Most of Raimon was getting really annoyed now.
"If they are not going to show up right now, then I'm going to leave." Rika frowned, hand on her hip. "Stupid Constellation Lights. Who do they think they are, making us wait like this!"
Gouenji also had a frown on his face, but Constellation Lights' lateness was the last of his worry. He was too busy wondering where Blizzard was.
BOOM!
The sudden explosion successfully startled everyone from Raimon, along with Gran and Burn, making them immediately turn to look at the source of it. There, in the middle of the field, thick smoke gathered. Like it wasn't enough, coloured lights followed right after that, and music loudly blasted all over the stadium.
"A show, huh?" Burn looked amused. "Interesting. They surely know how to get attention."
Gran lifted the corner of his mouth a little. "It's them we are talking about after all."
Back to the field, every mouth had dropped to the ground when they saw a group of uniform-wearing teenagers stepped out of the thick smoke, all had their hoods on and walked in a perfect sync with an indifferent look on their faces. Raimon just stared in shock as the group came into a stop, right when the music stopped and the coloured lights vanished with the smoke.
Before Raimon could understand what the hell was going on, the teens all got into super hero poses, and all of them loudly exclaimed at the same time.
"WE ARE CONSTELLATION LIGHTS! BY THE POWER OF ALL THAT IS UNHOLY ANS EVIL, WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT YOU, RAIMON!"
Silence. Raimon members were speechless, mouths agape as they stared at Constellation Lights members in disbelief. Was this really happening?
"Guys! Knock it off!" The familiar voice could be heard, and everyone turned to look at Blizzard, who was making his way over with a tired look on his face. "I thought I told you to show up normally!"
"But Captain," some members from Raimon widened their eyes even more when they saw the girl who introduced herself as Kosaka Chiharu chirped merrily. "This is what we call 'normal'! You should know that by now!"
Blizzard stared at the said girl with his mouth slightly opened. Of course. How could he forget?!
"She got you there, Blizzard." Ichinose and Domon stared at the familiar white haired girl who called herself Higurashi Ako, as she smiled at Blizzard. "You should be more specific next time. Make it clear that when you say 'normal', it's in whose standard, us or others."
"Fine. I will make it more specific next time." Blizzard sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Now, can you please stop standing in those poses? Do you know how weird they are?"
"Aye aye, captain." Constellation Lights said simultaneously, as they straightened up to salute the captain of their team. Like in military.
Blizzard sighed again, and opened his mouth to say something. But he was cut off before a word could escape his throat by Raimon members, when most of them pointed at Constellation Lights members.
"I KNOW YOU!" They said.
"Oh hello."
"Hi."
"Hn."
"Nice to see you again."
Constellation Lights waved/grinned/grunted at Raimon, acknowledge their exclamation.
"I think an introduction is needed." The boy who called himself Nanashi smiled, earning a nod from his teammates. Took it as a cue, he smiled even more. "I'm Nuevo!"
"Tobias." The teen known as Taiga grunted.
"Vixen, at your service." Kosaka Chiharu waved cheerfully. Her outfit was similar to her teammates, but the colour was yellow instead of white. Did this mean, she was their goalkeeper?
"I'm Phantom." Uzumaki Haruka said.
"Yo! You can call me Aksara." Shibuya Natsume made a mock salute.
"And I'm Mini!" Hatsuhara Ritsu chirped.
"The name is Zoisimus." Inoue Sentarou loudly exclaimed while pointing at Raimon. "And as Reize's future husband, I'm going to make all of you pay for disrespecting her!"
Raimon blinked once. And twice. Before Haruna cleared her throat.
"Uh... You do know Reize is a boy, right?" She said awkwardly, only to be taken back when Zoisimus sent her a heated glare.
"LIAR!" He shouted, sounding scandalised. "SUCH BEAUTIFUL PERSON CAN NOT BE A BOY! YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING IN COMPARISON TO REIZE-SAMA'S BEAUTY!"
"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID FANBOY!" The boy Gouenji remembered was the one who came to find Blizzard, yelled at Zoisimus, as he kicked the fanboy down and started to violently stomp on him. "NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ALL YOUR S*** ABOUT REIZE, SO SHUT UP!"
"AHHH! SOMEONE SAVES ME!" Zoisimus wailed, and Raimon found themselves sweatdrop. Were they really witnessing this?
"Don't mind him, he is a hothead after all." Higurashi Ako smiled at them with her head lightly tilted to the side. "He is Mios, by the way. And I'm Aelita."
"Who are you calling hothead, you faker?" Mios whipped his head to Aelita's direction, glaring at her angrily, forgetting about his 'victim' on the ground.
"Don't call me that." Aelita frowned. "Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean..."
"Bah! No matter what excuses you use, a faker is still a faker!"
"I told you not to call me that!"
"My, my, calm down guys." Nuevo laughed, stepping in between Mios and Aelita like he was afraid they were going to fight any moment now. "We are in front of Raimon, remember? Have to make a good impression."
Raimon once again had a disbelief look on their faces. Good impression? What was there to be considered as 'good impression' here?
"Fine." Mios angrily spat, while Aelita sighed and looked away to the last member of their group. The teen locked eyes with her, before nodding and looking at Raimon.
"And I'm Nieve." He said. No one else in Raimon knew it, but Hitomiko had called him Ikuto. Sasagawa Ikuto...
"And you already know captain." Vixen beamed in excitement. And once again, Raimon stared, stunned, as Constellation Lights did their poses again.
"AND TOGETHER, WE ARD CONSTELLATION LIGHTS, ONE OF ALIEA ACADEMY MASTER RANK TEAMS!"
Master rank team? Aliea Academy? Why did it look more like they were escapees from some mental asylum instead?
Blizzard also stared at his teammates, before letting out a long sigh and burying his face in his hands. This team would be weird forever, and there was nothing he could do to change that, he just knew it.
"I give up." He mumbled, already felt a headache coming in.
And the match hadn't even started yet. Great, just great.
"Well, while they make me feel like i don't want to admit being in Aliea Academy with them and knowing them before, I have to admit the look on Raimon's faces is priceless." Burn muttered. Gran didn't say anything to that. He was too busy wondering how much more craziness Constellation Lights was going to show, and could Raimon stand it.
Chapter 5 done.
Thank you for reading.
Inazuma Eleven Forever out.
