Chapter 13
Ok, I can't be bothered to describe the rest of the match, so if you really want to know details, look at episode 124. Going back to about 400 words a chapter, instead of 2,000
Keeping the ball from Rococo was easier said than done, as Little Gigant surrounded Inazuma Japan, waiting for them to slip up. Inazuma's shot's won't work either, not even Tenkuu Otoshi. Their double defence was to strong, and they were wasting their energy. The ball stayed with Little Gigant who were waiting, waiting, waiting...
There, the ball finally got to Rococo. It was now a one to one between Endou and Rococo.
"X Blast" Rococo's shoot went soaring towards the goal, a seemingly unstoppable force. Endou would not let the ball go in though. Even unstoppable forces could be stopped. He would stop this ball. He had to.
"Go get him, Rococo!"
Those words would burn his soul forever. He was never sure what part of it made him tick. Was it the face that his own Grandfather was voting for someone else? Or the fact that he was considered to be nothing more than a "Him"? Either way, that sentence would forever burn into his mind. It made Endou angry, more anger than he had ever felt in his life. Pain shot through his body, but all he could think about was the uncontrollable anger and a single word.
Revenge.
His body was shaking now; the bones looked like they were moving. They definitely felt like they were moving, the pain clouding out the anger becoming unbearable. He had felt this before, he thought, as he screamed out in agony, letting blood flow freely from his mouth. It was quicker this time though; the ball was still within metres of the goal. And then the pain stopped, leaving him with the feeling of pure anger and rage. Nothing could stop him. Meanwhile, the ball was still coming towards him, threatening to destroy him. What a pathetic threat, he thought, as he gripped the ball between his jaws, crushing it without even trying. The red lights dancing around the ball stopped dead along with it, the monster now full revealed. Silence hung in the air, not one muscle was moved. Shock held everyone still. One whisper, very faint, could be heard amongst the almost defining silence. One single word.
"Endou." Gouenji's whisper woke the beast from its trance. With one movement, he lifted his head up to the nonexistent moon, and howled. He was back. After one and a half years, he was back. And it felt good.
