Hello again, minna-san! Welcome to the third chapter of AGI. Before we start though, I just want to say thank you to all those who have read, reviewed, followed and favourite this story. Domo arigato!

Now, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: Inazuma Eleven and its characters belong to Level 5. Even though I have kindly asked them to give it to me, Inazuma Eleven still remains L5's creation. Why they can't give me the copyright of this anime is beyond me. Is it too hard for them to do so?!

Chapter 3: Secret is Revealed

"What…is this?" Endou asked in absolute horror, as he stood there, his whole body went numb. The sweet victory of winning Football Frontier had disappeared faster than he had wanted it to, had disappeared right at the moment he saw his school, his beloved school, was nothing but a wrecked mess.

What happened, he didn't have the faintest idea. Who had done this, again, there was no answer for this question. And, as he looked at the elder members of Inazuma Eleven lying on the ground, the brunette couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Batora!" He heard Natsumi's voice, along with her footsteps, as she ran to Batora-san. He heard it all, but instead of turning around, Endou found his eyes glued to the place he used to call school, unable to look away.

"We fought the aliens in your place, but…we were no match against them. I am so ashamed."

"In our place? What do you mean? You fought aliens?"

Sounded like something from those sci-fi movie, really. But, whether they were real aliens or not, Endou couldn't find it in himself to forgive them. And frankly, he didn't want to forgive them. How could they? Destroyed his school like this? Injured the elders from Inazuma Eleven? Why? Why did they do this? What had they ever done to them?

"Furukabu-san…" Now, it was Hibiki-kantouku's voice, from right next to him.

"Oh, Hibiki, it's you," he heard Furukabu-san said. "I volunteered myself back in the old trade as goalkeeper, but they were too powerful for me."

"Did you really fight against aliens?"

"Yes. They challenged us with soccer."

The word 'soccer' was more than enough to catch Endou's attention. Whipping his head to the side, he looked at Furukabu-san. "What do you mean?"

There was no answer. Or, it was more like they had no chance to receive the answer. Because, at the exact moment, three black balls surrounded by purple aura were sent hurling their way from seemingly out of nowhere, looking like they were about to slam right into the captain of Raimon right there and then. Yet, instead of hitting the brunet, they flew above instead, twirling around in circle, before lowering down, all the while releasing more of the purple aura, which started to form into some sort of weird looking votex. Then, suddenly, the votex burst into a brighter shade of purple, before showing Raimon a group of people standing there, looking down at them.

Endou's eyes went wide. These people…

But, it wasn't him that shouted out for them first.

"Midorikawa!" No, it was Kazemaru, whose shock could be seen clearly on the face, as the blunette ran forward, stopping right next to his captain, yet his eyes still locked at the figures who stood there, faces blank of emotions. "Midorikawa!" Kazemaru shouted again, calling the name of the figure who stood right in the middle of the group, one foot placed on top of the black ball. "Is that you?"

Indeed, it was Midorikawa Ryuuji, the young boy Kazemaru had come to see as his friend. Endou knew they were also neighbours, because, on some occasions when he came over to Kazemaru's house, he always saw the defender talking merrily to the younger boy, who lived in the house right opposite the blunette's. Kazemaru seemed very fond of the greenette, even introduced his teammates to Midorikawa, and asked Midorikawa to stay after school to watch the team practiced sometimes. To Endou, and he bet to everyone else on the team as well, Midorikawa Ryuuji was a sweet kid, who always smiling and looking happy. The kid also knew a lot of interesting proverbs, and it amused everyone that he always seemed to be able to find a suitable proverb to say no matter the situation.

But, why was Midorikawa here? Why was he standing there with such a blank face? And what with the clothes he was wearing?

Of course, the greenette was not the only one clad in that outfit. The other ten around him – who Endou recognised as the ones Midorikawa lived with, and usually hanging around with whenever Kazemaru was not there to pull the greenette away to spend time with him and/or Raimon – also clad in the same thing. Like some sort of uniform. Most of them wore a short-sleeved dark grey jumpsuit with light grey streaks on hips and sleeves, going all the way down to their feet, with a light grey belt around the waist. The cleats, or rather, boots, were the same colour as the jumpsuit, with light grey toe cap. The girls' outfit was long-sleeved though, connected with gloves, and instead of streaks on sleeves, there were spots, along with light grey checkered patterns above the chest area. The guys also had gloves, though, but they were separated pieces, dark grey around their forearms while light grey on the part that covered their hands. There was also a small blue sphere placed on a white plate, surrounded by four orange streaks, the guys' sphere was in the middle of the chest, while the girls' sphere was smaller, and higher. Endou also noticed the one named Goryuu Reo, despite wearing the same style as the other guys, the colour of his clothes was different. His jumpsuit had long sleeves and was blue in colour, with dark grey streaks and black gloves. And, finally, Endou noticed the purple band that was worn around Midorikawa's left bicep.

To Endou, it was like a soccer team was standing right in front of them.

"It's them!" Endou heard Batora-san exclaimed. "They are the ones who challenged us with soccer!"

Endou couldn't believe what he just heard. It had to be some sort of mistake! There was no way…there was just no way…

"Y-You guys… You guys are aliens?!" Yet, he found the words escaped his lips before his brain could even understand what he was about to say. "I-Is this some sort of joke?!"

He watched as Midorikawa's gaze casted to the ground, but only for a second, before he looked up again, this time, with a blank smile on his face.

"No, this is not a joke," the greenette's voice was soft, like a whisper, but still loud enough for all to hear. "We…really are aliens."

"Midorikawa, stop this nonsense!" Kazemaru shouted. "This is not funny!"

"Of course it's not funny," Midorikawa continued whispering. "Business is never a funny matter."

Business? What did he mean by 'business'?

Like reading Endou's mind, Midorikawa started.

"We have come from a far planet Aliea to act as messengers to your people. We have decided to display our power to you in accordance with your planet's system. And that system…" a short pause. "…is soccer."

"What do you mean by 'soccer'?" Kidou questioned, only to receive a soft chuckle from the greenette.

"Soccer is a method on your planet that decides which side is a winner through battle," said Midorikawa. "Therefore, we announce to those who know soccer, that as long as you can't beat us through this sport, then this planet, will cease to exist."

"Is that why you fought with the elders from Inazuma Eleven?" Endou found himself yelled. But this was not the excited yell he usually used when thing involved the sport he loved the most. No, this yell was filled with anger, the anger that was boiling inside him. He couldn't believe. He just couldn't believe it. The one they had come to see as their friend…

Balling his hands into fists, he glared up at Midorikawa. "Then this time, you will fight us!"

Midorikawa smirked. Strangely enough, Endou found his smirk look so fake. He dismissed the thought though. It didn't matter at the moment.

"Look around you, Endou-san," said the boy they now knew as alien. "This school is already in ruins. In other words, the match is over." A snigger, again, sounded as fake as the smirk he was wearing. "If you could even call that a match…"

"Shut up!" Someoka exclaimed angrily. "I don't care if you are aliens or whatever! We're not going to stay quiet after you wrecked our school!"

Endou looked at Someoka, then to the rest of the team who surrounded him, seeing the determination in their eyes. Like Someoka, like him, they wanted to fight. They wanted to fight against these…these aliens, who dared to destroy their school, the school they themselves had gone to before they revealed their true identity.

"Minna…" the brown-haired captain whispered, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Nodding at his teammates, he turned his attention back to Midorikawa once again. "Let's show them our soccer then!"

"Hai!" simultaneously, everyone said.

But, Midorikawa just chuckled. "That will not be necessary." Before Endou or anyone else could understand what he meant by that, Midorikawa had removed his foot from the black ball. What happened next was something they had never seen before, when purple aura started surrounding the object, and the ball started spinning.

Without warning, the greenette kicked the ball towards the Raimon captain, whose eyes shone with determination as he brought his hand forward.

"Majin The…"

He never got a chance to finish his sentence, as the ball, with the unnatural speed, flew past Raimon members, creating the wind that was more than strong enough to knock everyone to either side, before heading straight to the club house, taking no time to turn it into a wrecked place. But not before sending Endou to the ground, with a pain look on his face.

"Endou!"

"Endou-kun! Hang in there!"

Kazemaru and Aki were the first two that made their way over to the brown-haired captain, calling his name frantically. But, seeing that Endou was not going to open his eyes even when they called out for him, Kazemaru angrily whipped his head to the direction of Midorikawa and his 'siblings', about to shout at them…

…just to be taken back when he saw the worried look clearly written on the greenette's face.

"En…" Midorikawa took a step forward, but the one Kazemaru recognised as Miura Hiromu had reached out and took his arm, holding him back.

"Let's just go, Reize-sama," the brunet whispered. Everyone was too busy surrounding Endou to realise what was going on with the aliens, but Kazemaru, whose attention was on them, saw it all. He even saw the hesitance on Midorikawa's face. Only a second though, but the blunette knew it was there.

"Yeah," Midorikawa nodded. Raising his hand to receive the black ball that seemed to come out from nowhere, Midorikawa then looked back at Raimon once last time, just to have his eyes locked with Kazemaru's instead.

"I'm…" Midorikawa looked like he was about to say something. Yet, instead of saying it, he just closed his eyes, as the ball started to release more purple aura that soon filled the air, preventing everyone from seeing what was about to happen.

Once the aura vanished, Midorikawa and the other ten were nowhere to be found.

There we go! The third chapter of 'Aliea Gakuen: Invasion?'The truth about Reize/Midorikawa and his team/siblings has been revealed! Which means -drums roll- we will have the first match between Raimon and Gemini Storm in the next chapter!

Don't you just love to hear this…

Okay, before we stop for the time being, there is something that needed to be clear. And it's about Gemini Storm uniform in this. As you can see, the uniform description here is kind of…different from what you see Gemini Storm members wear in the anime. Why? Because they are real aliens in this fic, that's why! And I need to alter their uniform a little so it looks more like something individuals from outer space would wear.

Oh yeah, one more thing. In case you are wondering, then Reize/Midorikawa's hair is still in a ponytail even in his alien form. Why? Because I need him to be recognised by Raimon and its members. So yeah, aside from the change in outfit, Reize still looks like he usually is as Midorikawa.

Okay, enough talk. Thank you everyone for reading this chapter. Please leave a review on your way out. And please stay tuned for more chapter of AGI.

See you later.
