"Listen up Raimon. Even if you all don't believe me. I'm sure you all will! Don't care about us being spies, make sure you all defeat aliea academy! Remember that is your motive!" Hitomiko shouted. You all were at the riverbank waiting for your ex-team to come, "We will have three forwards, _, Aphrodi and Gouenji. Midfielders will be Kidou, Ichinose, Domon and Rika. Defenders are Touko, Tsunami, Kogure and Kabeyama. Tachimukai, you are the goalkeeper. Kidou's the captain. Ganbatte." no one replied except you, Aphrodi, Gouenji and Kidou with a soft "hai". Then, a purple soccer ball fell from the sky. Everyone turned around.
"Morning Raimon." you heard Sliver greeting behind the dust.
"Sliver!" The dust cleared. Sliver was standing behind Zero. You could see there was hatred in their eyes, "Zero..."
"Shut up Platinum-san! You traitor!" Emerald scolded you.
"Emerald..."
"To actually think we look up to you!" your other teammate, gold, twin of sliver said.
"Gold..."
"Who cares, We are going to show how much we have improve without her around! We are the ones who are going to defeat Raimon!" Sliver shouted.
The match is about to start. Everyone were in their postitions and waiting for the whistle to be blown.
"Minna! Let's just do our best!" Kidou shouted. Only now, Raimon repiled.
"HAI!" The whistle was blown. Aphrodi started with the kick off to Gouenji. He passed it to kidou, who dribbled it down the field. Just in time for Emerald to slide down and steal the ball. He dribbled it down the field and towards touko.
"H-he's so fast!"
"the tower!" She called out. However, Emerald passed it to your ex purple hair teammate, Ametyst. Your fastest member. She speed towards Tachimukai and kicked the ball. She was too fast that Tachimukai could not see her. Hence, a score for Zero.
"See! Even if you are around! You can't even help out!" Ichinose said.
"And didn't even help out!" you shouted.
"enough. We should not be fighting with each other." Kidou stopped you two, "We have to consentrate on winning." With that, Kidou walked off to his postion. Ichinose gave you a glare and walked away. You stood there upset as Sliver whispered that only you could hear.
"not working well with Raimon? Yeah, fight somemore."
"Shut up!"
"hump!" he walked a few steps but stopped, "seems like Raimon has made you lose your intelligent. Now is the time to get it back." He walk away leaving you standing trying to understand what he said. Is he helpping me? You thought.
The match continued, Gold was dribbling down the field. While the midfielders and forwards are running around. You just stood there thinking about what Sliver just said. The midfielders were blocking zero's team players. Just then, the soccerball stopped in front of you. Everyone eyes widdened. Then, a thought struck your head. So ka! You dribbled down the field.
"Minna! Each person block two person from Zero! Defenders stay put!" you ordered.
"what are you talking about, _!"? Kidou asked you. You answered,
"I know what I'm doing!" aphrodi listened to you and ran up to block gold and ametyst who were running up to you.
"Arigato Aphrodi!" He nodded. You continued running. Two more players came running up to you. This time gouenji took them. He nodded to you. You smiled in return and then, four players came running up to you from behind. Ichinose and domon did the samething as the others.
"I still don't trust you, but i think it would be much more better if I follow your orders." Ichinose said.
"Me too!" Domon said.
"ah..." you continued running up. You felt happy as Raimon started blocking your ex-teammates. However, there was one more teammates not blocked. It was Sliver. He stopped in front of you.
"See, you are smart."
"thanks for the tip!"
"you think I would give you a tip without preparing myself!" He hit you by using his body. You steady yourself to stop yourself from falling down, but Sliver got the ball.
"tsch. Huh?" Aphrodi ran towards Sliver and knocked him from the sides. Sliver fell from the sides by the force. Aphrodi kicked the ball towards you. You caught it. You did not know about this, but Zero slowly stood up. His whole body was hurting.
"i thought you were suppose to block gold and ametyst." he murned to Aphrodi.
"i let one of the defenders take them. Besides, I promised that I pass the ball to her during the game." aphrodi answered.
"you two are close..."
"i feel that we two are alike." Now back to you.
"Score for us _!" Raimon shouted.
"Hai!" you stopped in front of Hematite.
"I'm stopping your shot Traitor!"
"Enough with the traitor!" you kicked the ball, "Galaxy pegasis!"
"shakudo!" A big glass appeared on Hematite's hands and the shot immediately broke it. Raimon tied with Zero. The whistle was blown. The first half was over. However, Zero had to leave the match as Sliver was injured. Which mean that Raimon won.
"sliver!" Zero ran towards him.
"Sliver-nii! You alright?" gold asked his brother. Sliver slowly stood up clutching his shoulder.
"i'm alright. He looked at you." Who's eyes widden in shock. Sliver smiled and limped towards you.
"Platinum.."
"sliver...y-you should sit down!" you told him.
"I need to talk to you." He grabbed your arm, "you've found a great team. Don't forget about us. P-please take this." He took off your captain's band and handed it to you.
"s-sliver!"
"This is for you to remember Zero. We will be exiled soon. Before Burn-sama comes, please take this."
"sliver, I-I can't-"
"Quick!" Sliver pushed the band into your hands and a red light appeared. Burn came out in his prominence uniform.
"sliver. You said you would win against Raimon."
"sorry, burn-sama."
"He doesn't need to say sorry!" you shouted and clutched tightly on the band. Burn glared,
"what are you talking about?"
"I maybe their ex-captain, but i'm still their captain in their hearts! When father mean by exile, he mean by throwning the teams into a room, a machine is used to slowly steal their power. The power is then given to you guys!"
"so?"
"Heartless! They won't have energy! They can't even stand up!"
"your words don't do much. You are no longer in aliea academy. They are exile and they are exile!"
"burn!"
"Shut up!" He kicked the ball which drops in front of Sliver.
"sliver!" you ran up to him but he was gone before you even reach there, you remembered him smiling to you before he left.
