[FIRST CUTSCENE]
Endou's mother: Mamoru! MAMORU! Wake up, sleepyhead! Do you want to be late for your first day back at football practice? Mamoru, I won't say it again!
[Endou's room. He's still sleeping]
E. Mother: Shake a leg! Come on, lazybones! You can't just lie in bed all day!
Endou: -groan- Knock it off, Mom!
E. Mother: Don't tell me to knock it off, young man! I bet you were up half the night thinking about training, weren't you? Get a move on, Mister! I want to see you dressed and downstairs in five minutes! Your breakfast is getting cold! *leaves*
Endou: Okay, okay, I'm going! mmmyeah… Training starts today… …Hang on a sec! TRAINING STARTS TODAY! *AWAKE*
-No shit, Endou. XD
Endou: Today's the day I've been waiting for! *UP!* Up and at 'em! *runs off!*
[Downstairs eating breakfast]
Endou: *eating* Mom! More, please! Guess what! I had a dream about Grandad, and he was giving me advice! "Never give up, Mark! There's nothing you can't achieve if you set your mind to it! And never forget: there's no such thing as an unwinnable match!" Ah, good old Grandad!
-… but Endou, you've never MET your grandpa.
E. Mother: Mamoru! Less chat, more action! Look at the time! Your pals won't be best pleased if their cup-winning captain turns up late.
Endou: …Huh?! *looks* Is that really the time?! I need to get my things together and head down to the riverside! All right, Mom! I'm off! I'll do you proud, Grandad! Look out, world! Here we come! *leaves*
E. Mother: Dearie me, that boy really does have football on the brain! *to the shrine* Well, we know who he takes after…
[Endou runs out- and bumps into Natsumi who is outside of his door, whut]
Endou: Whoa!
Natsumi: Aagh!
Endou: Ow…
Natsumi: Ooo-ooo-oooh!
-Y-Your reactions… Endou, is that all you can say? Natsumi, a-are you a monkey?!
Endou: Natsumi! Are you okay? Sorry, I didn't see you there…
Natsumi: Yes, I'm okay. What about you? I didn't see you either…
Endou: Me? I'm brilliant! I couldn't be better!
Natsumi: I know you're excited about getting back into training, Endou-kun, but there's no need to go over the top.
Endou: Oh, come on, Natsumi! It feels like ages since I've trained with the team!
Natsumi: Yes… But you've been training by yourself, haven't you. Over by the tower…
-Are you stalking Endou, Natsumi? JK.
Endou: Huh? How did you know about that?
Natsumi: >///> Oh, er… I…
Endou: Oh, it doesn't matter. Everyone's probably down at the river already… Let's go! *runs off without Natsumi*
-That's right, Endou. Run, run off with out one of your possible future wives and bump into another girl. Like you always do. Silly pimp.
Natsumi: Hey! -sigh- Some things never change… Wait for me, Endou-kun! *runs after*
[NATSUMI JOINED THE PARTY! JK]
CURRENTLY CHECKING:
Team Level: 1
Friends: 12
Title: THE VICTORY ELEVEN
Walking down, down- hey, Andy! IDK who you are. JK I do, but just saying.
Andy: Oh, hello there, Mark! Up early for practice as usual, I see! Remember, if you get tired, select Save from the menu. It'd be a shame to lose your progress and have all that practice go to waste! Oh, and one more thing. See that glowing thing over there?
-No. Are you on something, Andy? Sir, sir, I don't think you should keep consuming whatever you're consuming.
Andy: You can use it to recover energy. Give it a go when you're burned out after a match! There are also items you can use to recover energy. If you need to hear anything I've said again, you can find these hints and more by pressing the X Button, selecting System, then Help. Well, I'de happily babble on all day, but why not have a chat with the old man over there? He taught me everything I know. You might as well get it straight from the horse's mouth.
-How much more unpleasant can your idiom be? Goodness, what a deus ex machine you are.
TALKING TO THE OLD MAN! Okay, this isn't important to record. Gosh, tutorials, gosh. They're all hallucinating.
[TO THE RIVERBED! Not that it matters, but I'm slightly convinced Endou or someone is an animal whisperer. We seem to understand animals. BUT ANYWAYS. SOMEOKAAAA!]
Someoka: Endou! You're late!
-Thanks for pointing out the obvious, sir.
Kurimatsu: Yeah, we've been waiting for you!
-No, really.
Endou: Hey, everyone! Long time no see! Sorry I'm late.
-OKAY, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THESE PEOPLE, ENDOU. REALLY. HOW MANY HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS HAS IT BEEN SINCE THE FOOTBALL FRONTIER?
Kazemaru: I can't believe it's only been a week since the Football Frontier finished.
-Oh. Thank you for the answer, Kazemaru. You're very dependable.
Endou: I know! It feels like so much longer!
Kazemaru: I bet you've been practicing in your spare time, though.
Endou: I certainly have! I'm even faster than you now, Kazemaru!
-Endou, that's impossible. Now that we've all depreciated our levels to Level 1 (which, wow, we lost at least 30+ levels in a week. This is what happens when you take a week-that-feels-like-so-much-longer-that-you-make-it-sound-like-it-has-been-a-long-time off), it's obvious with Kazemaru's speed stat at 18 and yours at 8.
Kazemaru: Heh. We'll see about that. I've been training every day myself, you know.
-Wait, if you've been training, why are we all level 1 again? Really, why? WHY?
Kurimatsu: Me, too!
-WHY?
Kidou: Heh, Looks like we've all been at it.
-WHYYYYYYY?!
Kabeyama: Yeah, I've been doing some intense muscle training. Wait… the stomach is a muscle, isn't it?
-Oh, if it's you, it makes total sense, Kabeyama.
[EVERYONE LOOKS AT KABEYAMA. Oh, Endou looks around and notices something!]
Endou: Hold on a minute… Where's Goenji?
Kazemaru: He said he'd come here after visiting his sister in hospital.
-Is that proper grammar?
Natsumi: Apparently, he visited Yuuka every day since the Football Frontier ended.
-You mean he didn't before?
Natsumi: He's totally devoted to her.
-Sis-con. He sounds like Kidou. JK
Endou: I see…
Kazemaru: Oh, and I think Domon and Ichinose have gone to Kidokawa Seishuu to meet an old friend.
-BECAUSE ICHINOSE WAS SOOOO IMPORTANT THAT WE NEEDED HIM IN THE PREVIOUS GAME. NO, REALLY. IT'S NOT LIKE WE COULD ONLY GET HIM AFTER CHAPTER 8 IN THE LAST GAME IF WE HAD DOMON IN OUR TEAM AND WENT TO VISIT THE HOSPITAL. REALLY, IT ISN'T LIKE HE WAS A LVL 40 EXTRA SIDE CHARACTER.
Natsumi: Yes, Nishigaki (Mamoru) something-or-other. Some boy they know from their time in America.
-Goodness, you can't even remember the 'Mamoru' portion, even though it's the EXACT SAME FIRST NAME AS ENDOU'S? Good grief.
Endou: Okay then, let's train hard and give them a shock when they get back!
-Yes, because just a few levels above 1 is totally shocking.
Kidou: Heh, same old Endou…
Someoka: You know, I've got so used to intensive training that it kind of relaxes me now.
-That's called the destressing factor.
Kazemaru: I know what you mean. The Football Frontier was really tough…
Someoka: Super tough! I can remember it like it was ten minutes ago! Finally winning the Football Frontier…
[FADE OUT TO THE SKY! Oh, wait, we're flashbacking to one week earlier, immediately after the FF Final.]
[i]Endou: *hold trophy* We're the greatest team in Japan!
-WAIT. IF THAT'S THE CASE, WHY IS YOUR NAME MARK EVANS? WHY DO YOU HAVE A BRITISH ACCENT? WHY DO ANY OF YOU HAVE BRITISH AND ENGLISH NAMES? WRRRRY??????!
Kabeyama: I'm so happy! I feel like I'm dreaming! -sob-
Kurimatsu: Stop crying, Jack! This isn't a dream! It's real!
Shishido: Hey, Captain, can we hold the trophy, too?
Endou: Here you are! *Hands to Shishido*
Shishido: *passes to Shorin*
Shorin: *jump jump* Whoa! *pass to Kageno*
Shishido: It's so cool!
Kageno: Hm hm hmmm… Feel that weight… The weight of victory.
-… he's…. um. Shaking.
Kageno: *pass to Kabeyama*
Max: D-Don't drop it, whatever you do!
Kabeyama: *jump* I know, I know. I'm not stup- *fumble* Wahhh!
-I beg to differ.
[He bumps into Someoka and the trophy is caught by Kageno]
Someoka: C'mere, you…
Kabeyama: S-Sorry, Someoka-san!
[He runs, and Someoka chases. Kageno sets the trophy down and watches]
Haruna: *to Kidou* Well don, Onii-chan!
Kidou: Thanks, Haruna…
Handa: Back when we started, we only had seven players. Who could have imagined that we'd in the Football Frontier?
-Level 5 apparently could.
[Someoka and Kabeyama return AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.]
Someoka: Yeah, especially with all those people constantly telling us the club was going to be disbanded.
Natsumi: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about…
-Sure, you don't, you creepy stalker.
Aki: Hee hee!
Endou: Here's to us, Raimon Eleven!
All: Yeah![/i]
END FLASHBACK! Oh, wait, no, we're just going to the tower. YES, IT HAS TO BE A SUNSET. IT'S ENDOU AND GOENJI, ABOUT TO HAVE A BRO MOMENT!]
[i]Goenji: I thought I'd find you here.
Endou: Goenji!
Goenji: You've started training without the rest of us, I see.
-Still at level 1, though.
Endou: Haha! Well, we haven't really had time to train together since we won, what with interviews and photo shoots and all that. I couldn't help myself -- I just had to play some football. It's like an itch I have to scratch.
-I believe that's called an obsession or an addiction, Endou. I'm sorry to say, but you have it, it's terminal, and there's no going back.
Goenji: I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Endou.
Endou: *up to Goenji* Listen, Goenji, I wanted to thank you. You're the reason we were able to win the tournament.
Goenji: Actually, I'm the one who should thank you. You and the team helped me realize that I shouldn't stop playing football.
Endou: Oh, well… Heh heh!
-Not that it matters, but why is there, like, a lake or a pond on a hill by an electrical tower anyways?
Endou: Anyway, wasn't the victory parade great? The whole town turned out to hail the return of the Inazuma Eleven! It felt a bit weird, actually…
Goenji: Yeah. We're still not a patch on the veterans, though.
-'Cept we owned their butts in the last game when we played. Just saying.
Endou: No way! But we'll become legends in our own right, Goenji! The next legendary Inazuma Eleven! So let's train hard and keep playing great football!
Goenji: Endou… You're right.
-I don't think this is a matter of right-wrong, Goenji. Just saying.
=Granddad we pulled our socks up and managed to become number one in the country not bad, ey? Both our dreams have come true. But according to Coach Hibiki, there are more teams a lot better than we are. I've set my sights to play those teams.=
-OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAUSE I MISSED IT.[/i]
[NO MORE FLASHBACKS. Back to normal time.]
Kabeyama: Hey, where have Kino-san and Otonashi-san got to?
Natsumi: Kino-san said she'd go ahead to the club room and tidy it up before we got there.
Kurimatsu: ! Hey… Look over there.
[WE LOOK- oh, there's Aki.]
Aki: Sorry I'm late, everyone! I was making rice balls and lost track of time!
-That's right, make food for us, woman. JK
Endou: Oh! Good morning, Aki!
[AKI JOINS THIS PARTY! Just kidding.]
Aki: Hello! Now, today's your first day back in training, so don't overdo it, will you?
-Woman, they're back at level 1 again. WE NEED TO TRAIN. THIS IS A MATTER OF DESPERATE URGENCY.
Aki: Although I don't suppose there's any point in suggesting you take it easy, is there?
-Exactly. Now go back to making rice balls. Okay, now I sound sexist.
Endou: You don't suppose correctly! We're going to give it our all from day one! I can't wait to find out who our next match is against.
-Well, I'm just guessing when I say they're possibly out of this world. Quite possibly. Not certain, but there's a chance. Just saying.
Aki: Ha ha! Oh, Endou-kun, you never change!
Natsumi: You mean he never grows up…
-Well, considering he's 14, if he's not changing, he's still a kid so there's really no point in saying he's growing up.
Endou: Okay, team! Let's keep up the good work! If we carry on like this, we'll be world champions in no time!
-'Carry on like this'? You mean, chatting and flashbacking? Or, TRAINING DESPERATELY, BECOMING NATIONAL CHAMPS, TAKING A WEEK OFF, and falling back to level one? Because that's really not going to look good if you become world champs like that.
[WEIRD BLASTY NOISE FROM THE DISTANCE!]
Endou: I- wait… can you hear something?
-Because it wasn't SO INCREDIBLY LOUD AND THE HAPPY, CHEERFUL BACKGROUND MUSIC DIDN'T JUST STOP TO EMPHASIZE THE LOUD NOISE FORM THE DISTANCE. Just saying.
Aki: Yes… What is that? *looks around* Oh! Look up there! In the sky!
[LOOk, PURPLE FLAMING SOCCER BALL RIGHT OVER YOUR HEADS! How did you miss that?]
Megane: Is that… a shooting star?
-Get your glasses checked, Megane. It's OBVIOUSLY a soccer ball. OBVIOUSLY.
Someoka: At this time of day? No way.
Max: Yeah… And it's too dark to be a star…
Handa: Wait a minute… Is it my imagination, or is it coming closer?
-Um, just saying, but that flying-burning-purple-soccer-ball-of-doom was kinda close already. If it got any closer, it'd be in your face.
Shishido: Wha-?! It's heading straight for us!
-WAIT, THE SCREENSHOT HAD IT FLYING AWAY FROM YOU!
Endou: Aaarrrgh!
[CRASH! That is one power-packed soccer ball. Can soccer balls even withstand that kind of hit to begin with?]
Endou: Waaahhh!
-Stop crying, you big baby.
Shorin: What was that? What happened?
Kazemaru: Did you see where it fell? It looked like it was near… Raimon!
-HOLD UP. IF THE SOCCER-BALL-OF-PURPLE-FLAMING-DOOM-THAT-CLEARLY-WAS-NOT-SENT-BY-GOENJI-BECAUSE-HIS-FLAMES-ARE-RED WAS FLYING 'STRAIGHT FOR US', HOW DID IT GO OFF AND HIT RAIMON? HOW?
Natsumi: N-no!
Aki: O-Otonashi-san! Otonashi-san has just gone back there!
Kidou: Wh-what?! Harunaaaaaaaaaa! *RUN FOR HER!*
-Yep, there's Kidou's inner sis-con kicking in.
Kazemaru: Endou, we have to get over there right now!
-Well, there goes practice. But, I guess checking out the school after being attacked by a flaming-purple-soccer-ball is of some precedence.
Endou: Yeah! Let's hurry!
[RUN TO RAIMON! But no, meanwhile, at the hospital next to Raimon Junior High… GOENJI IN YUUKA'S HOSPITAL ROOM! CUTSCENE TWO! Look, she's awake. YOU HAPPY, GOENJI? Yes, yes you are. Now where the hell is her large pink teddy bear? YOU'RE MISSING THE LARGE PINK TEDDY BEAR, GOENJI!]
Goenji: Yuuka… It's me, Shuuya. Can you hear me?
-She said your name earlier (or rather, Onii-chan or something like that), so I'm assuming she KNOWS it's you, dude.
Yuuka: Yes…
Goenji: I did it, Yuuka. We won. We're the best football team in the country!
-Now does Yuuka know it's been a year since she passed out? Just saying.
Yuuka: I know… I could hear your voice.
-Let's also totally disregard that this may be slightly creepy. Just saying.
Goenji: Huh?
Yuuka: You were always there, Onii-chan. Thank you.
-See, I was right. He is a sis-con, visiting his sister ALL THE TIME.
[Enter, doctors and nurses!]
Nurse: Doctor! This is incredible!
Doctor: What on earth?!
-What, never seen a sis-con with his sister talking to each other? Or a little girl waking up from a year-long coma? Gosh, what have you two been doing.
[Check up]
Doctor: Your sister appears to be… fine!
-Yes, I can see that, too, Sir, and I bet Goenji could, too, especially if you did the check-up RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
Doctor: This is nothing short of a miracle!
-It's great to hear this from your, what, Scottish accent.
Goenji: So, Yuuka will be…
-No, it's terminal, Go-kun. Sorry to say.
Doctor: She appears to be well on her way to a full recovery.
-Don't listen to the doctor, Go-kun. IT'S TERMINAl. HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED. NUMBERED I TELL YOU!
Doctor: You don't need to worry about her anymore.
-DIRTY LIES AND DECEIT, GOENJI!
Goenji: Thank you… Thank you so much, Doctor. Yuuka, I'm so relieved.
-That aside, I'm assuming you missed the PURPLE-FLAMING-SOCCER-BALL-OF-DOOM THAT SUPPOSEDLY HIT RAIMON WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALMOST RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE HOSPITAL.
[BOOM CRASH!]
-I take it back.
Goenji: Huh…?
[BOOM CRASH V.2! Wait, two?]
Goenji: …?! What was that? *goes up to Yuuka* Yuuka! Are you okay?
-Because she's so terminally ill that tremors from PFSBoDs colliding with the school RIGHT NEXT DOOR will kill her. Really, they will. They're deadly.
Goenji: *looks around* …What was that noise?
-I think you could check out the window. Might see something interesting. Maybe.
[CAMERA PANS TO A SUSPICIOUS HUMAN. Who was green in the anime, but he's orange/normal flesh colored here.]
???: Hm…
[Flash back to the Riverside! OKAY, LET'S GO TEAM! TO RAIMON! Or, what remains of it…]
Haruna: *runs over* Captain! This is terrible!
-Inorite? No school!
Endou: Haruna! What's the matter?
-… really, Endou? You can't see for yourself? REALLY?!
Haruna: Look!
[Cutscene! Look, Raimon is completely destroyed! Not gone, Endou. And look, people! With glowy blue eyes.]
