Chapter 6: Constellation Lights vs Raimon-part 2
"I don't know about you, but I don't think those guys are...sane." Ichinose muttered as everyone from Raimon stared at Constellation Lights. He paused a little, then continued. "Aside from Blizzard, that's it."
"You are right." Most of Raimon members nodded in agreement. Gouenji was not among them though. He was too busy looking at Blizzard, who was ordering his team to play normal for once. Like normal people did.
"Awww." Vixen whined. "But it's no fun that way!"
"I don't care." Blizzard said. "We need to be serious if we want to know their current level. It's really important to what we discussed last night."
"Well, that doesn't mean we have to act like someone else." Phantom grinned while her teammates nodded. "We can still play like we usually do, and still be able to test them after all."
"You don't get it!" Blizzard sighed in frustration. "You see how they reacted when you made your entrance, right? And that entrance is nothing compare to the way we play! We could traumatise them enough and distract them with our..."
"Don't worry, Blizzard." Aelita smiled at him, putting her hand on his shoulder. "If we play the way we do, and they still manage to play like how they usually play, then it means they will be worth it, right?"
"But-" Blizzard started, only to be cut off by the snicker from Atsuya.
'Excuse, excuse, nii-chan. You just don't want to look bad in front of Gouenji~' his twin said in a sing-song voice, and Blizzard found his cheeks fluster a little when Aelita's eyes widened, a smile on her face. The captain groaned inwardly. Great. Just great. He just knew Aelita could hear that loud and clear, what with her psychic ability and the fact she had a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh?" And now she sounded amused. "Does that mean anything, Blizzard?"
"No, it doesn't." Blizzard said, but Atsuya didn't think so.
'Don't listen to him~' Atsuya sang again. 'He doesn't want to admit he has a cru...'
"Okay that's enough the both of you!" Blizzard scowled before Atsuya could finish his sentence, and swatted Aelita's hand off his shoulder. His cheeks got warmer as she started to laugh.
"Oh, I see." Her eyes twinkled.
"You see nothing." Blizzard hissed quietly, ignoring the curious look his other teammates were sending the two of them. "And not a word about who is it, got it?"
"Okay." That was all Aelita said. But Blizzard didn't mind that, because that was all he needed from her. He knew she would keep her words, unlike a certain someone who would use this kind of information as a form of blackmailing.
Aksara suddenly sneezed, causing his teammates to turn and look at him.
"Bless you." Mini chirped.
"Thanks." Aksara murmured, wondering if someone just thought about him.
'It's your doing.' Atsuya sniggers.
'It's true anyway, and you know that.' Blizzard replied. He looked back at his teammates, and gave out a sigh. "Fine. Just play like usual then."
Immediately, most of Constellation Lights started to cheer, loudly. Except for Blizzard (who just sighed again), Nieve (who just stood there and stared at his teammates) and Tobias (who just stood there, sleeping).
"I don't know what make them so happy, but I honestly don't like it." Aphrodi said, and everyone from Raimon couldn't help but agree.
"Well, it doesn't matter!" Endou exclaimed. "We will do our best!"
"Hai!" Everyone shouted simultaneously.
"That's right." Hitomiko nodded. "Okay, those who will play in this match will be..."
~Minutes later~
"Welcome everyone to the match between Raimon from Raimon Jr High and Constellation Lights from Aliea Academy!" The announcer, like usual, showed up from out of nowhere. Sometimes, Raimon members wondered if this guy had some kind of ability that allowed him to know where Raimon was going to have a match in, and with who.
"This time, Raimon is using the 3-3-4 formation, with Gouenji, Aphrodi and Someoka as their forwards; Tachimukai, Ichinose and Kidou as their midfielders; Kazemaru, Kabeyama, Touko and Tsunami as their defenders. And of course, the goalkeeper, and also the captain of Raimon, Endou Mamoru!"
Burn clicked his tongue from where he was watching. "The way he said 'Endou Mamoru', it was like he expected everyone to clap and cheer."
"But Endou really is a talented goalkeeper." Gran mused. "Still, I wonder if he can protect Raimon's goal from Constellation Lights. They are, after all, also the candidates to become The Genesis..."
'The Genesis, huh?' Burn thought, as he listened to the announcer exclaimed the formation of Constellation Lights.
"...2-3-5 formation, with Mios and Mini as their forwards; Nieve, Zoisimus and Phantom as their midfielders; Aelita, Aksara, Tobias, Nuevo and their captain, Blizzard as their defenders. The goalkeeper is Vixen."
This sure came as a shock to Raimon, as they stared at their opponents. Or more specifically, Blizzard.
"And here I thought he was a forward." Aphrodi frowned. "His number is ten after all..."
Gouenji nodded. Usually, ten is the number of the ace striker of the team.
"Whichever position he plays, we still need to be careful." Kidou spoke up. "Remember, they are from Aliea Academy."
"Right." Everyone nodded.
With that, the match began.
"And it starts with a kick off from Raimon!" The announcer said as Aphrodi kicked the ball to Gouenji, and together with Someoka, they all ran to Constellation Lights' field.
"Che." Mios clicked his tongue, watching as Raimon make their way over. "Like I will let you guys pass."
Just like that, he immediately ran forward with unnatural speed. And before Gouenji knew it, the ball was no longer in his possession.
"What-?" The flame striker couldn't believe in his own eyes. He twirled around and saw that, sure enough, Mios had the ball.
"I'm going to show you that I'm more superior." He smirked at Gouenji.
The rest of Raimon also couldn't believe what just happened. Compared to Diamond Dust, Mios was faster. Much more faster.
Then what did it say about his team?
They were violently brought out of their shock state by a loud cheer coming from Constellation Lights' side. Everyone turned and looked as Vixen started to jump up and down and up and down and up and down while cackling maniacally.
"You got the ball! Mios got the ball! He got it he got it he got it he got it he got it he got it..."
Raimon members couldn't help but feel unnerved. Vixen...was scaring them. A lot.
"...he got it he got it he got it he got it..."
"YES I GOT IT SO SHUT UP!" And Raimon let their jaw drop to the floor as they watched an angry Mios kicked the ball straight into a hyper Vixen's face, knocking her backward while the ball bounced away right after that, stopping at Blizzard's foot. But instead of doing anything useful to the ball, Blizzard, like everyone else, just watched as Vixen suddenly snapped to her feet, glaring dagger at Mios.
"THE HELL WAS THAT YOU SONOVAB*TCH?" Right there and then, those that hadn't had the 'honour' of seeing Vixen's sudden personality changed finally got a chance to hear all of those colourful words coming out of Vixen's mouth. "ARE YA LOOKING FER A FIGHT, YE A**HOLE? IS THAT A FREAKING FIGHT THAT YA WANT? THEN I WILL GLADLY GIVE IT TO YOU, B***!"
"DON'T THINK I'M AFRAID OF YOU!" Mios yelled back, just as heated as the small goalkeeper. "YOU ARE IN THE FIELD, THERE IS NO FREAKING WAY YOU CAN GET YOUR HAND ON ANYTHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A WEAPON! AND WITHOUT YOUR WEAPON, THEN YOU ARE USELESS!"
"WHAT? I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN! I F***ING DARE YOU!"
"YOU HEARD ME! YOU. ARE. USELESS. WITHOUT. YOUR. WEAPONS!"
"THAT'S IT!"
And there was nothing Raimon could do but watch as Vixen practically teleported to where Mios was standing and violently tackled him to the ground, where they started to have a vicious wrestle, while throwing curses at each other every once in a while.
"Aren't you going to do anything?" Aelita asked Blizzard, who turned and frowned at her.
"If you are talking about that..."
"Yes, I'm talking about that." Aelita nodded. "Let him out."
"Atsuya does not like doing that with all of these people around." Blizzard told her.
"But you and I both know he is the only one who can do anything to bring Vixen back to her first personality." Aelita glanced at their fighting teammates and the gaping Raimon members. A mischievous smile crept to her face when she looked at Gouenji. "Besides, you don't want your crush to think you have no control over your team now, do you?"
Blizzard gaped when he heard that, yet before he could reply, he was beat by an excited Aksara, who had heard Aelita's last sentence.
"Captain has a crush?" He rushed over, practically shaking Aelita's shoulders back and forth. "Who is it? Who is it?"
"And I should tell you why?" Aelita looked amused.
"I will delete all the embarrassing pictures I ever took from you." Aksara's eyes were sparkling. Blizzard watched in horror as Aelita started to think over the deal she was given. Between her promise to Blizzard and a one in a blue moon chance to have her blackmail pictures from Aksara delete completely, Blizzard knew he had to act fast before she chose the second option.
"Fine, I will do it." He sighed and closed his eyes. 'Your turn, Atsuya.'
'Are you out of your mind, nii-chan? There are others here, not just our family!'
'Please, Atsuya, do it for me.' Blizzard pleaded. 'Or else she is going to take that rare chance! Which means Aksara will have more materials to blackmail me, and my life will be over!'
He heard Atsuya sigh. 'Fine. But you owe me, nii-chan.'
'Thanks, Atsuya.'
And when Blizzard opened his eyes, instead of the usual teal-grey colour, his eyes were now golden orange.
"Atsuya-dono?" Aksara blinked. But instead of replying him, 'Blizzard' just made his way over to his fighting teammates, reaching out and pulling Vixen away from Mios.
"LEMME GO, CAPTAIN, LEMME GO!" Vixen shrieked. "I HAVE TA KILL 'IM!"
"I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!" Mios spat back, wiping off the blood at the corner of his mouth.
"WHY YOU-" Before Vixen could do anything drastic, 'Blizzard' had bended down and whispered something into her ear. All the Raimon members watched in awe as a violent Vixen took an one eighty and started to laugh merrily.
"You are-" she beamed, and laughed louder when 'Blizzard' nodded. She immediately bounced back to the goalpost, giggling all the way there.
Everyone blinked, wondering what just happened. Everyone that was not from Constellation Lights, that's it. Constellation Lights members knew very well what just happened after all, not that they would ever let any outsider know of one of their team's top secrets anyway.
"You are-" Mios stared at his 'captain', who smirked in reply.
"Yep! You don't mind if I take care from here, do you?" He asked.
"Not at all." Mios also smirked. "But I want my own chance as well."
"Oh, you will have it." The 'captain' chuckled. "I only do this because I already here after all. After I give the control back to him, the goals are all yours. Unless I feel otherwise, of course."
"Che." Mios clicked his tongue, but stepped to the side, out of his 'captain' way. 'Blizzard' sent him another smirk before facing Raimon, and his smirk got wider.
"Well, let's continue, shall we?"
Raimon snapped out of another shock state, and took no time to get ready. But 'Blizzard' didn't feel like waiting for them, even though it was only five seconds, and glanced over his shoulder.
"Now." It was an order. Aksara, who had the ball, knew it. Without a hesitation, he kicked it to Phantom, who then did a harder kick, leading the ball to 'Blizzard'.
"What is this?" The announcer said. "Blizzard has moved to the front line? What kind of tactic Constellation Lights was trying to do?"
"Get the ball!" Kidou shouted, and Aphrodi immediately made his way in the path of the ball and 'Blizzard', planning to take the ball in his possession before it could reach its destination. But Constellation Lights was not going to let this happen. Not if they could help it.
"Don't get in the way of Captain~" Mini sang, as she gracefully moved in front of Aphrodi, and therefore, got the ball instead. Her speed, like Mios and Vixen, made it hard for Raimon to see. One second, she was over there. And suddenly...
'They are faster than Diamond Dust!' Endou thought, watching Mini dribbled the ball to Raimon's side. Tachimukai made a move to get the ball from her, but Mini did something unexpected.
She kicked the ball in the air, doing a backflip and sent it all the way back to her team's side.
"What is she doing?" Natsumi asked no one in particular. She, along with those who sat outside, watched with wide-eyed as Tobias's head suddenly snapped up, and he jumped up to get the ball with his chest. The ball fell down to his foot, and, still didn't leave his spot-the same one he had been standing since the beginning of the match-he passes the ball to Vixen.
"What are they all doing?" It was Kogure who asked this. Just what was Constellation Lights' tactic? Why did they pass the ball all the way back to their keeper?
The question was answered right away, once the ball touched Vixen's foot. Not wasting even a second, she started to flip away from the goalpost, shocking everyone from Raimon as the ball was kicked to the air and was kept there the whole time with each flip she did. And suddenly, she twists her body in the middle of a flip, and kicked the ball straight to...
"HERE YA GO, CAPTAIN!" she shouted, falling freely back to the earth, but was caught by Nieve, who dropped her once he was sure she was not going to get serious injure when falling from his arms to the ground.
Back with 'Blizzard', who skilfully received the ball from his gymnastic of a goalkeeper without any problem, and started to dribble it to Raimon's side. Kidou and Ichinose made a cut to block his dribble, but that only brought a smirk to 'Blizzard's ' face.
"Like they could stop him." Burn smirked, watching as Kidou and Ichinose were knocked to the side while 'Blizzard' continued running forward.
"And they will have their first goal." Gran said, looking at 'Blizzard', who brought his leg up for a shoot.
"Eternal Blizzard!" Unlike Diamond Dust, Constellation Lights was not going to fool around. They were testing Raimon as well, of course, so every chance to use hissatsu against Raimon members, they were sure going to take it.
'Let see if you can stop this, Endou Mamoru.'
God Hand was called out, and the two hissatsu clashed. But, much to Endou's, and the rest of Raimon's, horror, God Hand got frozen in no time, before being shattered to pieces. The ball just flew into the net after that.
"G-Goal! And Constellation Lights has their first goal!"
'It broke through God Hand like it was nothing.' Endou thought, looking at his numb hand. 'It feels colder, and stronger than Northern Impact. Much colder. Much stronger...'
The match continued with the ball in Raimon's possession. Somehow, Someoka managed to receive the ball from his teammates while being face to face with the defences of Constellation Lights. His eyes slightly narrowed when Aelita calmly, and pretty much floated in front of him.
"As a defender of Constellation Lights," she said softly, "I'm afraid I will have to take the ball from you when you are in my territory."
"And what are you going to do?" Someoka asked warily, only to receive a smile from the white haired girl.
"...I'm not the only one who guards this territory." She said. The next thing he knew, the person behind him had whispered "Fall Asleep" into his ear. Someoka then went into a deep sleep like trance and unconsciously passed the ball to Aelita.
"Thanks for the ball, Someoka-san." Aelita whispered softly, passing Someoka while Tobias once again had his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. His job was done, now he went back to sleep, and hopefully didn't have to wake up again.
"Zoisimus!" Aelita called, and the ball was passed to Reize's number one fanboy. Once the ball was in Zoisimus's possession, Aelita turned around and went back to the defence line. Her job was done. It was now the other territories' job.
"In the name and honour of Reize-sama, I will-" whatever he would do/say was cut off by a cleat to the face. And whose cleat was that? No one else but Mios's.
"Just shut up and do your duty!" The forward snapped, nodding a thank to Mini when the girl pulled out another cleat from seemingly thin air and handed it to him. Raimon members stared. Where did she get it from?
"Don't you dare rush me when I'm worshipping Reize-sama!" Zoisimus cried dramatically. "She is the goddess in this planet, and as the only one who is worthy of her attention, I-oh no you don't!"
If Aphrodi had thought because Zoisimus and Mios were arguing, he could take the ball, then Zeus's ex-captain would think otherwise now when Zoisimus kicked the ball up high and jumped after it, before heading it past the blonde to a waiting Nieve, who immediately passed it to the front line a second after the ball touched his foot. Mini got the ball, and together with Mios, they attacked.
"Go go go, just go forward! Pass them all and reach the line!" Raimon members, who didn't get to play at this match, turned and stared at Vixen, who was bouncing all over the goalpost while cheering like a cheerleader. "Pass to the left, pass to the right! It's Mini's time to shine! Weeeeeeh ~"
"As if it's her time to shine." Mios growled dangerously, and cursed loudly when the ball was taken by Raimon. Without missing a beat, he kept running forward, while Mini just suddenly stopped running and was now standing still. Like eight other members of her team, minus the cheering Vixen and Mios.
"Look at their faces! Priceless!" Burn laughed. "They don't understand what Constellation Lights is doing!"
"Like anyone outside of their team could ever understand." Gran muttered.
'Territories, that's what Blizzard called it.' He thought. 'Everyone is staying right where they are assigned to play as, doing everything to prevent "outsiders" from entering and passing their "territories", doing their best to protect the goalpost, the "capital". I understand that. But, what I want to understand is, why the whole team can trust each other completely to the point of being so sure everyone will fulfil their assigned job...'
He watched as Constellation Lights midfielders tried to take the ball from Gouenji, yet the flame striker managed to get past. But instead of after him, the midfielders all turned and walked back to their original spots, leaving Gouenji running towards the goal.
'He has passed their territory, and it's now not their job to stop him. He is now in the defenders' territory, and they trust that the defenders will complete their job.'
"Captain will do it? Or us?" Aksara asked the now teal-grey eyed captain. Blizzard looked at the girl-like defender and smiled.
"Shall I?"
Up in the grandstand, Burn and Gran watched as Blizzard used Ice Ground to stop Gouenji, getting the ball back to Constellation Lights. They watched as he kicked the ball past Gouenji with an unnatural speed to the midfielders, and they watched as Nieve used Snow Storm, which was a long pass that travelled with inhuman speed, leaving behind a mini (Yet strong) snow storm that had more than enough power to knock the Raimon players out of its way and reached its destination.
Mios.
'Now watch, Gouenji Shuuya. You will see that I'm better.'
"Fire Sniper!" He shouted. Suddenly, a medium size fire sniper appeared in Mios hands, he then aimed for the goal and fired.
Like a bullet, the ball flew past Endou before he could do anything. And not only Constellation Lights now had their second goal, Endou found out that the shoot even managed to burn the net a little.
"That shoot." The Captain glanced back at Kazemaru, who looked at the net as well. "Endou, can you even see the ball back then?"
"...no." Endou frowned. "It was too fast. All I could see was a red blur, then we lost another goal."
His hands unconsciously balled into fists, and Kazemaru looked at him worriedly.
"Endou..."
"This team... they are more than we thought." Endou muttered, looking at Constellation Lights, seeing its members started to bicker and curse at each other, or making a fool out of themselves. "They act without care about anything else. If they want to sleep, they sleep. They want to fight, they go ahead and do it. And they only stay in a certain part of the field..."
"Endou..."
"But," Kazemaru blinked when Endou smiled. "That's why they are interesting. They do whatever they feel like it, yet they still play so excellent, they still complete their job. As a forward, a midfielder, a defender. I can feel their feeling for football, so pure and strong. Only with such a feeling can they play so brilliant even when they seem to pay attention to something else. I can feel the complete trust they have in each other as well. That's why it's interesting playing with them. Minna!" He called out loud. "Let's do our best!"
"Hai!"
"Such a big difference." Burn mused. "Only with Constellation Lights Endou reacted this way. He didn't sound so excited when playing against Gemini Storm, Epsilon or Diamond Dust, yet with Blizzard's team... Even when he has seen how strong they are, it appears that he is enjoying this match."
The two captains of Aliea Academy watched as the game continued, getting even more heat than it already was. The score was still 2-0, no matter how many times Raimon tried to score. Vixen had showed them that, just because she decided to hang upside down on the goal while singing 'Seishun Bus Guide' with Mini, didn't mean her goalkeeper position was for show. Using her Hell's Uprising (in which she held out her hands and black souls came out and surrounded the ball, while in the background you can see flames), she had successfully caught and stopped Gouenji's, Aphrodi's and Someoka's shot while still humming merrily.
"The time of the first half is running out. Only a few minutes left!" The announcer said loudly. "Can Raimon do anything, or the first half will end with Constellation Lights two scores in the lead?"
'2-0. Just as I thought, playing with them is tough.' Gouenji thought. As he moved his eyes away from the marks, his eyes met Blizzard's. The said boy then smiled at him, and the smile made Gouenji's heart jolt.
'W-What is this feeling?' He thought. 'It's...nice and...'
"Gouenji!"
The sound of his name snapped Gouenji out of his thought, and he looked up, just in time to receive a pass from Someoka. Before he even knew it, his legs and body had moved on his own, helping him past Constellation Lights members and were now face to face with Blizzard.
"Sorry Gouenji-kun, but I can't let you past." Blizzard smiled at him. "As a defender, it's my job to protect my territory."
"Is that so?" Gouenji looked straight into Blizzard's eyes, before a faint smirk appeared on his face. "Then I guess I will just stay here then."
Blizzard blinked, wondering what Gouenji meant by that. And like to answer the unspoken question, Gouenji passed the ball behind him, to Aphrodi, who somehow managed to out run the other two 'territories' of Constellation Lights and reached Gouenji on time to receive the pass.
"God Knows!"
Vixen, being Vixen, took one look Aphrodi's wings and suddenly her eyes sparkled.
"A Seraph!" She exclaimed happily, pointing at Aphrodi. She kind of forgot just where exactly she was.
"NO YOU IDIOT!THE GOAL! PAY ATTENTION TO THE FREAKING GOAL!" It was Mios that was screaming. But by the time Vixen snapped out of her 'Seraph staring' state, it was a second too late.
And Raimon had their first goal like that.
Chapter 6 done.
