[Back on the Caravan!]
Aki: So, what do you think of the Inazuma Caravan, Fubuki-kun?
Fubuki: Aye, it's not bad. It's a good laugh, is this. I've not been on a trip with this many people before. It's grand!
Kazemaru: So, we followed Coach Hitomiko's plan and got Fubuki on the team. Where are we off to next?
Haruna: *doing stuff at the videophone* Gather round, all! I've managed to get a line to the hospital on this thing. We can talk to all our friends!
Endou: Really? Nice!
[Over~!]
Handa: Hey, Endou! You sound just as chipper as ever.
Endou: Handa! All of you! Long time no see! How are you all doing?
Kurimatsu: Are you getting better? Still feeling sore?
Kabeyama: Hospital food is so bland. I wouldn't be able to stand it!
Handa: Never mind all that. Tell us what's been gong on with you lot.
-Nothing really. Chasing Aliea, going to Nara, scaring an adult with his fear of deer, been accused to be aliens by the Prime Minister's daughter, had a match with Gemini Storm and lost, lost Goenji, met the Prime Minister, went to Hokkaido, saved a snowman from dying, etc… etc…
Endou: Well, it's a long story…
[Insert said long story.]
Handa: Ugh, just as you managed to build up the strength to defeat Gemini Storm, an even stronger team appeared?
Kurimatsu: Yeah. I'm not sure we can beat this lot…
Endou: Don't worry. We'll be all right.
Max: Hm? You sound pretty confident, Captain.
Kazemaru: Yeah, Endou. Epsilon are bound to be even better than Gemini.
Endou: I'm sure they are, but remember how we felt when we first faced Gemini? It was completely hopeless, but we came through in the end, and we beat them. As long as we believe we can do it, we can beat any team, no matter how strong they are!
Kageno: Endou…
Aki: He's right! If you all pull together, I'm sure you can show Epsilon what the Raimon Eleven are made of!
Shishido: Good to hear you've all improved. We're all counting the days until we can play football with you again!
Kidou: There's no rush. All you need to worry about for the moment is getting better.
Endou: And as soon as you do, it's back to practice!
Hitomiko: *appears* Listen up, team. Our next destination has been decided.
Aki: Really? Where are we off to, Coach?
Hitomiko: Epsilon have announced the target of their next attack. I've just had word from the Chairman.
Kabeyama: Ohhh, another attack already?
Touko: We just beat Gemini… Don't we get five minutes for a breather between alien invasions?
-Nope. If you want to destroy something, consecutive is the way to go.
Fubuki: I reckon this means we've put the wind up them.
Hitomiko: THe next targer is Manyuuji in Kyoto. We should get going straight away.
Shorin: ! Wait! Did you say Manyuuji?
Endou: Gah! Hey, don't surprise me like that, Shorin!
Shorin: Manyuuji are the idols of the kung fu world!
-Except they don't believe in idolizing and what not, so eh.
Shorin: Strength of body, honed through grueling training! Ultra-sharp senses! They have a top-class football team with unmatched speed and power!
Endou: Wow! Then why didn't they enter the Football Frontier?
Shorin: They have this motto: "you alone can train your mind and body". That's why they never play against other schools. But if they had entered, they would have won, no doubt about it!
Kabeyama: Really? Wow, they sound amazing!
Kidou: I've heard of Manyuuji, too. People always said that although Teikoku Academy were the official champions, unofficially, Manyuuji were the best.
Kazemaru: Sounds like they must have some pretty amazing players.
-Cept I don't really want any of them because they suck out Friendship points like the dickens for these things.
Endou: ! Great, then maybe we can find some new recruits there.
Shorin: Aww, I wish I could come. I always wanted to go to Manyuuji. If only I hadn't gone and got myself injured!
Endou: Don't be too won about it. We can all go again once you're better!
Shorin: Okay! I look forward to it!
Max: Don't go letting Epsilon beat you before we're back in action!
Kageno: But don't expect us back too soon, either. I quite like it here in the hospital. Heh heh heh…
Handa: By, all! Good luck!
[End call.]
Fubuki: So that was the Raimon lot, eh? They seem like a decent bunch.
-'Seem'
Endou: They are! Just like your friends from Hakuren, in fact.
Fubuki: Yeah, they're all right, our lot. If you want any of them to join us, you've only to use the recruiting system, you know. Try giving them a shout.
Furukabu: All right, are you lot done chatting? Just say the word when you're ready to go. I'll point this thing in the direction of Kyoto and put the pedal to the metal!
Note: Sengoku Igajima's coach is at the Maid Café.
[Anyways, let's go to Kyoto.]
Hitomiko: *phone!* Oh, it's Coach Hibiki.
[Fade out-in]
Hitomiko: …So you'll continue your investigations alone>
Hibiki: I can't just wait around doing nothing now that this Epsilon team have appeared. I've got to do something to uncover more of Aliea Academy's secrets.
Hitomiko: I see. Good luck, Coach.
Hibiki: You, too, Hitomiko.
Hitomiko: The team is really giving it their all. You've trained them well.
Hibiki: They're doing what they can, but they're still just children, Hitomiko. Saving the world is a big responsibility for them. Help them any way you can, okay?
Hitomiko: I will.
[Fade out in.]
Furukabu: We're here, boys and girls! Kyoto! Wake up, wake up!
Endou: At last! Kyoto!
Touko: Last one off is a rotten egg!
-Again? They all rush off.
Aki: Hee hee… It's like a school trip.
Natsumi: Don't you go getting all overexcited as well.
-Stop being so stiff.
Haruna: Heh heh.
[They leave, too. And so, Kyoto! Notice that Fubuki isn't a part of the team…]
Haruna: So this is Kyoto. It's like stepping into the past! How magical!
Touko: Hey, look at that big tower! Wow!
Kabeyama: We can't come to Kyoto without trying out the famous dumplings! Red been past, covered in syrup… -drool-
-… um…. Dango or something? IDK.
Natsumi: This isn't a holiday, you lot. Don't forget that we have a job to do.
Touko: *looks around* Which way is Manyuuji? It looks so easy to get lost in all these tiny streets.
Fubuki: Ah, there you are.
Endou: ! Huh?
Fubuki: *appears with a girl* Ta.
Girl: You're welcome! Tee-hee! *leaves*
Kurimatsu: F-Fubuki. Who was that pretty girl?
Fubuki: Oh, I were just feeling a bit peaky.
-UM. UM, SIR. SIR. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Fubuki: She took care of me and brought me back here. They're a nice bunch, this Kyoto lot.
-Fubuki just looks like a little kid to take care of, huh?
Haruna: So that's how it works… When you're popular, you don't even need to say anything, The girls just come to you!
-TROLOLOLOLOL
Kurimatsu: Hmph! Popularity isn't everything, you know.
Haruna: Don't you care about being popular, Tod?
Kurimatsu: …Well… yeah, of course I do. -sigh-
-Owned.
Hitomiko: Listen, Epsiolon are due to attack tomorrow. There's no time to waste. Let's get moving!
Kabeyama: But we've come all this way to Kyoto! Can't I just have one dumpling?
-Glutton.
Hitomiko: ….
-Glare.
Kabeyama: *steps back* D-Don't look at me like that! *looks away* -sigh- I thought we'd be allowed to treat ourselves after finally beating Gemini Storm…
Kazemaru: Don't worry. There'll be plenty of time to treat ourselves once we beat Epsilon!
Someoka: Gah! Why are you still going on about food, anywa? The next alien attack is just around the corner! I still don't get why it's all up to us, though. If the whole country's in danger, why isn't the Prime Minister helping us?
-HEY. LOGIC. SOMEOKA, BRO POINTS! I should keep a counter.
Touko: Oi! Have you got something to say about my dad?
-Yeah, I do.
Someoka: No, but…
Kazemaru: Shut up, you two. You're causing a scene.
-Really?
Haruna: Captain, let's see if we can find someone who can tell us where Manyuuji is.
[Let's just wander and sneak into an alleyway-]
Harpen: Oi! Watch where you're going, nitwit!
Endou: Wh-what's going on?
Fubuki: Looks like a scrap. These things happen in the big city. Best leave it.
-Coward. XD
Endou: How can you say that? If someone's in trouble, we should help them! *charge ahead!*
Fubuki: Really? Reckon you'd be better off staying out of it, but…
[We follow! Here we see some students surrounding Kogure.]
Harpen: Who do you think you are, bumping into people and not even bothering to apologize? Huh? Huh?
Kogure: …
-His face is derpy.
Pimento: What are you looking at, pipsqueak? You're a bit too cheeky for your own good!
Endou: Hey! Leave him alone! Two against one's not fair!
Harpen: Huh? This is nothing to do with you, squirt! Go home to your mum!
Fubuki: Ee, that's a face only a mother could love, is that. I don't blame you for taking it out on little kids.
-Fubuki, I'll punch you in the face. PUNCH. And didn't you not want to make people fight? GOSH.
Endou: H-Hey, Fubuki… Don't…
Pimento: What?! Come here and say that to my face!
Harpen: This'll be fun! We could use a bit of a warm-up before the main event!
Battle!
Harpern: Impudent weaklings! We'll crush you!
Ladidaaaaa
Harpen: Gyaaaah! We'll get you for this! *escapes*
Endou: Hey, are you okay?
Haruna: Are you hurt?
Kogure: Ah. What did you have to go and stick your big noses in for?
Haruna: Wh-what?
Kogure: I said, who asked you to stick your oar in? I could have taken care of a pair of clowns like that myself! *runs off*
Haruna: Wh… Well, you're welcome! What an ungrateful little swine!
Grandma: I'm afraid you picked the wrong boy to help. He's well known around these parts for being a thoroughly bad egg.
-A rotten egg.
NPC3: I'm surprised he's allowed to remain at Manyuuji at all.
Endou: You mean that boy is a student at Manyuuji?
Haruna: How can a little troublemaker like that be allowed at a school with a fancy motto about training your mind and body?
NPC3: -Sigh- We've enough trouble as it is, what with this stranger who keeps appearing and frightening people.
-IS THAT YOU, HIROTO?
NPC3: We don't need wayward schoolchildren adding to our woes!
Haruna: I agree completely! It's an outrage!
Endou: All right, Haruna(Otonashi?). Calm down. Excuse me, Miss, but could you tell us how to get to Manyuuji?
NPC3: Oh, you delightful children have business at Manyuuji, do you? How marvelous! You'll find it deep in the forest to the north-west of town.
Kabeyama: Lucky we got involved, really. Now we know where Manyuuji is! Let's head up there right now, Captain!
[To Manyuuji! Oh, the team's out on the pitch.]
Endou: This is it. Manyuuji…
Ha! Yah! Ha! Yah! Ha! Yah! Ha! Yah!
Kabeyama: Wow! Look at them go! Shorin was right, they really do look like they could win the Football Frontier!
Hitomiko: Yes, they do… *steps forward* Excuse me! Can we have a quick word?
Ha! Yah! Ha! Yah!
Endou: I don't think they can hear you. Hang on, let me try. *forward* Ahem.
-This can only end in tragedy.
Endou: EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? ANYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE?
Ha! Yah! Ha! Yah!
Fubuki: …Cloth-eared beggars.
-Fubuki, you've got a rotten tongue.
Endou: Hmm… They don't seem too worried about the attack, do they?
Kabeyama: Maybe they didn't get the warning? We should find someone who'll listen to us!
Haruna: Yes, let's take a look around.
[We go! Oh, Kogure.]
Kogure: *grumble* Mop the floors… Tidy the pitch… Why do I have to do all the boring stuff? Hmph! ! …Huh? Is that…? It's them! *hides*
Aki: This must be the entrance.
Endou: Let's head inside. *moves- falls into a pitfall!* Gaaaah!
Aki: Endou-kun! Are you okay?
Endou: Ouch! What the?! Who dug a trap here?
-Kogure is kind of very obvious.
Kabeyama: *runs forward- trap hole!*
Kogure: Yuk yuk yuk!
[Cutscene! This was stupid.]
Kabeyama: Hey, it's that boy from town!
Haruna: You did this? Why you-!
Taisho: KOOOOOGUREEEEEEEEE! *runs over with some others*
Kogre: Bah.. Here we go… Yes, Captain? May I ask what seems to be the trouble?
Haruna: Wow. Talk about two-faced///
Kabeyama: Like a devil and an angel in one…
Taisho: Kogure! These people are visitors here! Are you all right?
Kabeyama: No…
Kogure: Bah. Don't look at me. It's not my fault if they go round falling into holes.
-Of course. It's not the shooter's fault people go around getting hit by bullets. Oh, Kogure ran away.
Marshall (red mask): Kogure!
Taisho: Please accept my humblest apologies. It is my fault for not keeping my players under control. I am (Crane Kik), captain of the Football team here at Manyuuji.
Endou: Captain of the football team? You mean that boy plays football?
Dirk (blue mask): He's just a sub. His name is Kogure Yuuya, and he's trouble. My brother and I have just been covered in paint thanks to one of his tricks, have we not, Elder Brother?
-you two sure look clean if that's the case.
Marshall: INdeed we have, Younger Brother. I can still smell it. Perhaps it did not all wash off.
-Okay, they cleaned it.
Kabeyama: H-He covered you in paint?
Taisho: So, what can I do for you?
Endou: We're the Raimon Junior High football club!
Taisho: Ah yes, Raimon. You won the Football Frontier, did you not? What brings you to Manyuuji?
Kabeyama: They're not exactly overjoyed to see us, are they? We got such a welcome at Hakuren!
Hitomiko: We heard that Aliea Academy are going to attack here next. Excuse me, but I have to ask… Were you not made aware of this?
Taisho: Attack? Ah yes, of course.
Endou: So you do know about it. Well, we're on a quest to put together a football team that can beat Aliea Academy. And we want to help you take on Epsilon tomorrow!
Taisho: I see. Very interesting.
Haruna: Great, then will you-
Taisho: We do not intend to play Epsilon.
Endou: What? You're not going to play them?
Taisho: No, we are not. We use football as a means to train our minds and bodies. We do not use it to prove our superiority over anyone.
-How about to protect lives?
Taisho: We shall explaint hat we will not be standing against them, and withdraw from the match.
-And then watch your school be destroyed.
Endou: W-withdraw?
Someoka: What are you talking about? We've tried talking sense to the, -- it doesn't work!
-We've tried?
Taisho: That's because you have hatred in your hearts.
-And Epsilon doesn't?
Someoka: Hatred?
Taisho: Purge your mind of all selfish thought, and there's nothing you cannot communicate. Ha!
Marshall + Dirk: Yah!
Someoka: These people are weird…
Taisho: Now, if you'll excuse me, we must return to our training.
Hitomiko: Wait! You said that football is for training the mind and body.
Taisho: Precisely. That is our motto here at Manyuuji/
Hitomiko: Don't you think playing against the winners of the Football Frontier would be a good way to train yourselves?
-lolololololol, trying to get a friendly.
Hitomiko: I'm not talking about a match, just… a demonstration of styles, shall we say. Well?
Taisho: Hmm… It is an interesting proposition.
-It's called twisting words to get what she wants. Basically, she's just tricking you into a friendly.
Taisho: …Very well. We accept your offer.
Haruna: But Aliea are going to attack tomorrow! This is no time to be talking about style demonstrations!
Fubuki: We'll not get them to help us out any other way. If we show them what we're made of, they might decide to fight Aliea with us after all.
Endou: Fubuki's right! If we can't talk them into it, we'll play them into it!
Haruna: Of course… I should have known Coach Hitomiko had a plan.
Taisho: We must prepare the pitch.
[Enter other Manyuuji peeps]
Ha! Yah! Ha! ah!
[Pan to Kogure]
Kogure: So they're a football team…
Taisho: Kogure! I can see you hiding over there! Get to the pitch and help!
Kogure: Bah! *does so*
[OKAY, prep time. Let's wander!]
When did our title change to "Speed Demons"?
SERVER. I FOUND YOU! JOIN ME! Never mind. He's a connection map. *SIGH*
So while I'm out training… Someoka's Dragon Crash evolved to have +1. DRAGON CRASH 1. OuO
So, notes for training:
-Dreama Bartle is a girl. I don't know why this surprises me….
-Rainbow Arc = Rainbow Loop
-INCENTIVES TO USE HISSATSUS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY
-Oh yeah, anime Eternal Blizzard is so slow.
Okay, screw it, let's go.
Let the demonstration begin!
[MATCH: VS. MANYUUJI]
Taisho: Raimon… It is an honor to face you. Manyuuji football club welcomes you.
Wando: Ha! Ya!
Hitomiko: They're known as the greatest team never to have competed in the Football Frontier. Let's see if they live up to their billing.
Endou: Right! Come on, Raimon!
Flame Thrower is dangerous, but Spinning Shot wittled it down and then Someoka made it with Wyvern Crash! And then Eternal Blizzard.
Half time!
Someoka: Come on, keep it up!
Waxon: Ha! Yah! Only in the end will we know who is truly stronger!
Spinning shot~ I like using Ichinose a lot. And then Twin Boost~ And again with Ichinose.
And so we end this with a score of 5-0!
Kurimatsu: A famous victory… for US! Huh huh huh!
Telektual: We are… a disgrace…
Taisho: That was a most impressive display of skill. You truly live up to your reputations
Dirk: And your special moves! They rain down like a punishing storm!
-… Well, I did spam as many hissatsus as possible….
Dirk: They have clearly undergone some very punishing training, have they not, Elder Brother?
Marshall: Indeed, they have, Younger Brother! Please, you must teach us your training regime!
Taisho: A fine idea. I implore you, stay here a while and let us learn from you.
-LOL, MEI.
Taisho: Brothers!
Ha! Yah!
Taisho: Pepare a feast for our guests!
-…. okay. Is that normal for this?
Kabeyama: Yay! A feast! I love feasts!
Touko: This is great, Endou! Now we might be able to convince Manyuuji to help us take on Aliea!
Endou: Yeah!
Fubuki: …I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.
-Fubuki is also a wet blanket, but it's true, I don't expect them to try.
[Fade out in]
Taisho: Now, please enjoy the spectacle we have prepared.
Touko: Wow, cool! Such precision! It's like watching soldiers on parade.
Kazemaru: Shorin would have loved to see this.
Kabeyama: Did I miss something? Where's the feast?
Kazemaru: Can't you stop thinking with your stomach for five minutes?
Kogure: *runs over* Hungry, are you? Here, get your laughing gear round this. *hands over a rice ball*
-UH OH
Kabeyama: A rice ball! Yum… -chomp chomp- Ngh… Ngh… Ngah?! !! Gaaahh! My tongue is on fire!
Kogure: Yuk yuk yuk! How do you like my special super-duper-ultra-mega-spicy recipe? That'll put hairs on your chest!
-What?
[Kabeyama runs off!]
Taisho: Kogureeeeee!
[Kogure runs off, and Kabeyama runs by, too.]
Haruna: I'm sick of that little monster! *runs after*
Kidou: Haruna…
Taisho: Please accept my humblest apologies for Kogure's behavior. Now, ah, we were discussing something, were we not?
Endou: Yes, you wanted to know about our training regime.
-Get attacked by Aliea-manipulated players and beat them up.
Endou: Here's our secret… We train using the move manual of the legendary Inazuma Eleven team of forty years ago.
-We do?
Dirk: Fascinating. We would also like to train using this manual, wouldn't we, Elder Brother?
-'Cept you can't read it.
Marshall: Indeed we would, Younger Brother!
Endou: Great! Then we have something to offer the other. Help us fight Aliea, and we'll let you use our manual!
-Oh jeez.
Dirk: I'm afraid that won't be possible, will it, Elder Brother?
Marshall: Unfortunately not, Younger Brother. Manyuuji prides itself on its stance with regard to conflict. We do not fight.
Kazemaru: Hmph! They're a stubborn bunch.
-Just like we are.
Endou: Okay, I have to ask -- why do you hate playing against outsiders so much?
Taisho: As I said previously, we do not think of football as a competitive art.
Endou: Yeah, but if you entered the Football Frontier, you'd be able to test your skills against a lot of amazing teams.
-Except that's a competition.
Endou: Doesn't that interest you even slightly? Come on, it must do!
-He's basically twisting words.
M.Coach : Ho ho! What an interesting little chap you are.
Endou: Hm? Who are you, Sir?
Taisho: M-Master! You have returned from your mountain retreat?
Endou: This is your coach? But he wasn't around when we were playing…
Dirk: Our coach spends a lot of time in the mountains seeking enlightenment, is that not so, Elder Brother?
Marshal: Indeed, Younger Brother. The last time we saw him here at the school must have been nearly six month ago.
Endou: Six months? That's a long time for a coach to leave his team to their own devices!
M.Coach: Endou, was it? Let me ask you something, Endou. Why do you care so much about the Football Frontier?
Endou: Huh? Why?
M.Coach: If your passion is playing football, is it not enough simply to play? Why place so much emphasis on competitive matches?
Endou: Because it was my grandpa's dream-- and my dream-- to get to the final of the Football Frontier.
M.Coach: But your dream has been realized. What now? And once you defeat these alien invaders, what then?
Endou: What then? Um…
M.Coach: Your love for football is clearly unsurpassed, and your heart is pure and true. If you are to truly grow, why not explore other avenues, other possibilities?
-Time to be a libber?
Endou: Other avenues… You mean something other than football?
M.Coach: Not necessarily. There are other possibilities within football. For example, your position. You could try playing as something other than goalkeeper.
Endou: A different position…?
M.Coach: Here, let me give you this special move. It is a shooting move. The "Megaton Head".
[Endou got the manual.]
Endou: Megaton Head? That sounds brilliant! What kind of move is it?
M.Coach: It is the perfect move for one who has much experience as a goalkeeper.
-It uses the head. :| Aside from headings, Endou doesn't really use their heads. Just kidding.
M.Coach: Watching you play just now, my instincts told me you would be able to put it to good use.
Endou: Let's see… Aha… Build up power.. Then use my head and… Boom! No, wait…. Bang!
M.Coach: Feel free to remain here at Manyuuji a while and think over what I have told you. Clear your mind, and you are sure to find the answer.
-Did you notice they've completely avoided the original discussion?
Endou: The answer… …
Aki: Endou-kun? What's wrong?
Endou: Hmm? Oh, nothing…
Aki: Everyon's saying they want to stay here a while and take a look around. Why don't you take the chance to have a wander yourself?
Endou: You're right. I should take a look around while we're here.
M.Coach: Oh, Endou. There was something I wanted your team to think about. Come and see me at the far side of the pitch when you are ready.
[Oh hey, bamboo thickets. Hi, Haruna.]
Endou: What's going on over there? Otonashi? What's…
Haruna: Shhh! Listen…
Kogure: Here goes my Super-Ultra-Hyper Miracle Shot! Nghhhhhhhhhh! One more try…
Endou: Is that Kogure?
Haruna: He's been at this for a while. He's tried to do that move about a huntred times.
Kogure: One more try! I'll get it this time!
Haruna: He's useless. Has he ever actually played football?
Kogure: !
[The others come out of hiding.]
Kogure: Oh, it's you lot. Come to take the mickey out of me, have you?
-Ha-ha, you got it! No, really, what the hell does that mean?
Haruna: Why do you always have to be like that? We aren't here to make fun of you!
Endou: Calm down, both of you. Kogure, why are you practicing out here?
Kogure: Hmph! Because I have to. They won't let me practice on the pitch, will they?
Haruna: Huh?
Endou: I see. SO you're out here practicing all alone. You must really love football!
Kogure: I… Hmph! It's nothing to do with you! Clear off! You're getting on my nerves!
Endou: Wait, wait, you're fare too close to the ball. You need to give yourself more of a run-up.
Kogure: Shut up! I know what I'm doing! You and your big mouth broke my concentration, that's all!
-I just don't want to commentate when I don't like Kogure much.
Kogure: Gaaaaaaah! Why can't I pull it off?!
Haruna: Oh, for the love of… You're never going to get it right.
Endou: …But look at how fast he moves.
-Like I need another speedy player. What I need is someone of the Fire element.
Haruna: Captain?
Kidou: You said he'd tried this move about a hundred times. Did you mean that literally? Because he's not even out of breath.
Haruna: You're right, but… Yes, now that you mention it, he hasn't got any slower the whole time he's been practicing.
Kogure: Gah! Once more, with feeling!
Haruna: Maybe he does have some useful abilities after all… *runs over to him* Kogure-kun!
Kogure: What do you want?
Haruna: Come with me and see Taisho-san! We have to show him what you can do.
-We do?
Kogure: What are you on about?
Haruna: I don't think your team has realized your true potential.
-If they have, the reason they don't do anything is because of his rotten disposition.
Haruna: If they can just see you in action, I think they might let you play football with them.
Kogure: Are you stupid or something? There's no way they'll let me.
Haruna: Oh, okay. I get it. You're scared. That's understandable.
Kogure: Wh- I am not! Unless you mean scared I might blow their minds with my brilliant moves!
Haruna: Aha! So you'll show them, then? Don't worry. Captain and the rest of us will be there to cheer you on!
-We will?
Endou: We will?
Haruna: Let's go! *runs off*
Kogure: …. *follows*
Kidou: Sorry, Endou. Once she gets an idea in her head, there's no stopping her.
Endou: Ha! Don't worry. I think she gets it from you!
-LOLOLOL, Oh Endou. Bro Points.
Kidou: You think?
Haruna: Hurry up, you two!
[They follow]
Taisho: Have you cleared your mind yet, Endou? Oh, Kogure.
Haruna: Taisho-san! (Or something) Um… Would you mind watching young Kogure practice for a minute?
Taisho: Hm? Practicing?
Haruna: Yes! I want you to see how good he is. He can practice a move a huntred times without getting out of breath. Ins' that incredible?
Taisho: Is that so… Kogure. Have you played another trick on our guests?
Kogure: What?
Taisho: You will not set foot on the pitch. Not even for practice. Now get back to your cleaning duties.
-LOL
Haruna: Hey, that's a bit harsh!
Kogure: See? I told you they'd never let me play.
Haruna: Wait! Kogure-kun! Taisho-san, you're so stubborn!
-As are you and most everyone else. Anyways, she runs after him.
Haruna: WHere are you going? Back to your practice?
Kogure: WHere do you think I'm going? I'm going to get back at them. Day in, day out, morning, noon, and night, all they make me do is clean! I'll show them what happens to people who take the mickey out of Kogure Yuuya!
-I guess everyone has some beef to pick with Mickey Mouse.
Kogure: Let's see, now… How shall I get my revenge? Yuk yuk yuk…
-It's exactly because of this that no one will believe you, lol.
Haruna: Wise up, Kogure-kun! Do you think acting like this every time something happens is going to get you on that pitch? No wonder they won't let you play!
Kogure: Shut up! Who asked you, anyway? I'm gonna get my own back on everyone who's made me look stupid, and there's nothing you can do about it!
-Kogure, you /are/ stupid. People really don't need to try to make you look stupid.
Haruna: Get your own back? How are your stupid little pranks going to help you do that? The way you get your own back is by showing everyone what you can do! You are a part of the football team, aren't you?
Kogure: …
Haruna: Come on! Practice with us!
-No. That is a bad idea.
Haruna: Work on your skills, and you'll really have something to show the others! I'll help.
-Please no. I really won't use him.
Kogure: Bah. Why would I want to practice with you bunch of losers?
-Because we defeated your team, which means if we're losers, you're below losers.
Haruna: Oh, too afraid to even try, are you?
Kogure: N-no! I'll do it! I'll show them! I'll show them all!
Haruna: That's more like it! Right, let's get started! I'll be frank with you -- you have absolutely no shooting ability. You'll never be a striker. But we can definitely put your talents to use as a defender.
-Have you noticed the sheer amount of Wind Element defenders who are fast we're accumulating here?
Kogure: Hey, who says you get to decide?
-I get to decide because I am god. Just kidding.
[Back to the others]
Endou: Otonashi's really fired up about this, eh, Kidou?
Kidou: Yeah… When we were in the orphanage, the other children would bully her and leaver her out when they were playing. I had to look after her. I think she sees her old self in Kogure, and wants to look after him.
Endou: But he isn't being bullied, is he, Taisho? Cleaning the school, preparing the pitch… It's all football training, isn't it?
Kidou: You noticed too?
-It's like Karate Kid. Gosh.
Endou: Yeah, I could when I saw how he ran.
Taisho: Very perceptive. Everything I have Kogure do is basic football training. I am, of course, fully aware of the extent of his capabilities. At one time, I allowed him to train with us as a normal member of the football team. However…
Dirk: His temper was his downfall. He would blow up at the slightest thing, would he not, Elder Brother?
-Dude, you don't always need to confirm things with your older brother. You always talk first.
Marshall: Indeed, Younger Brother. Once, I tried to pass him the ball, but I sliced it and it went a little of course. He got very angry, saying I had deliberately tried to make him look bad. He could not control his anger.
Taisho: And so, I thought that perhaps some solitary tasks might instil in him the discipline that he was so sorely lacking.
Kidou: But he thinks he's being bullied.
Endou: Hmm. So he finds it hard to trust people?
M.Coach: Well, one can hardly blame him after what his mother did to him.
Kidou: What happened?
M.Coach: It must be more than ten years ago now… Kogure was very young, and had been living apart from his mother for most of his life. Then, one day, she reappeared. He must have been so happy to finally be with her…. But she left him at a train station and disappeared. Night fell, and the station closed, but the guards could not get Kogure to move an inch. He was still waiting for his mother. He arrived here at Manyuuji completely unable to trust others. His heart had been broken and he would not let it happen again.
Kidou: So that's his story…
Taisho: There are only too many children like Kogure here.
Dirk: At Manyuuji, we train the body and mind so that our students can face anything, do we night, Elder Brother?
Marshall: INdeed, Younger Brother. But Kogure is still not ready. He has not earned the right to step onto the pitch.
Taisho: This is the situation. I hope you can see why we do things the way we do.
Endou: I get it, but I don't like it.
Kidou: Endou…
Endou: What? He has all the enthusiasm for football, but it's going to waste away while he's stuck cleaning up the school! He might be learning the basics without realizing it, but he's not enjoying it, and that's just not the football I love.
-Endou, your football and other people's football may not be the same. Don't be selfish and narrow-minded. On the other hand, some methods do not work as well for others.
Taisho: The football you love…
Endou: Please, give him another chance. I'll make sure he knows that he can't lose his temper any more.
Taisho: What an unusual person you are, Endou… Why do you devote yourself to the cause of a perfect stranger? Someone you only just met?
Endou: I've seen how hard it is for people to want to play football, but not be able to.
Kidou: You mean Handa and the others…
Taisho: …Very well. I will agree to your suggestion, but under one condition.
Kidou: Which is?
Taisho: The people of Kyoto have asked us to track down a suspicious boy for them.
-.. Hiroto.
Endou: A suspicious boy?
Taisho: Yes. He's been bothering everyone in town. We have received many complaints about him. I want you to catch him and put the people's minds at east.
-… HIROTO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CREEPIN'? GOD.
Dirk: Be warned -- he is very fast… Not even the police have been able to catch him. Is that not so, Elder Brother?
Marshall: Indeed, Younger Brother. We would like to track him down ourselves, but we must wait here for Aliea Academy.
-So you /DO/ care about Aliea coming.
Taisho: What do you think? Can you find this boy for us? In return, I promise to give Kogure a chance to prove himself on the pitch.
-Doesn't this remind you of the 'lend manual, help against Aliea' proposition earlier?
Endou: Okay, we'll find him! And when we do, I'll hold you to that promise!
[Endou and Kidou run off!]
M.Coach: He really is an intriguing young man..
[On the Caravan…]
Someoka: What? They want us to find some weirdo who's making trouble in town?
Kurimatsu: And all so Kogure can play football? Why do we have to go to all this effort for that troublemaking so-and-so?
-If you don't want to help, then don't. We can do this ourselves.
Kabeyama: Ugh… I can still taste that rice ball. I don't think I'll ever be able to get the taste of chili out of my mouth.
Fubuki: It's fair enough that you want the lad to get a chance to play, Endou, but…
Kazemaru: But Epsilon will be here tomorrow! Do we have time for a wild goose chase like this? We should be practicing while we still have the chance.
Endou: What are you so worried about, Kazemaru?
Kazemaru: I'm not worried, I'm just facing up the reality of our situation here!
-We /should/ be worried, you idiot.
Endou: Kazemaru…?
Hitomiko: Fine. You can go and look for this mystery boy. You have until tonight. If you don't find him by then, tough luck. Everyone else, get on with practice as usual.
Kazemaru: Coach!
Haruna: Thanks, Coach! Kogure-kun will really appreciate this!
-Though he'll say he didn't ask for your help.
Hitomiko: Well, it's not like I have much choice. We can't just stand around here arguing. It's no good for team spirit. And I have to admit, I'm intrigued to see what young Kogure Yuuya can do…
Endou: Brilliant! Let's get looking for this mystery boy!
Fubuki: We should find out what we can about him first. Let's ask around town. See you lot in a bit.
-Nanpa skills, activate.
[Endou, Haruna, and Fubuki run out.]
Kazemaru: …
[Let's go! Or not.]
Endou: Wait a second… Hiroto! Is that you?
Hiroto: ! Hm? Hi, Endou-kun! *walks over*
Touko: Do you know him, Endou?
Hiroto: Of course. We're friends.
-That was fast.
Endou: I didn't know you'd be in Kyoto. What are you doing here?
-Creeping.
Hiroto: I just came to find something.
Fubuki: Find something?
Hiroto: Yeah, I heard it had turned up in Kyoto. But I think I'll have more fun with you lot.
-Um….
Hiroto: I heard you're looking for this mysterious boy. Can I join you?
-Okay, so it's supposedly not him. Well, of course it's not, but Hiroto fits the bill as a mysterious creeper boy.
Endou: Of course! THe more the merrier!
[Hiroto joined the party! Well. Kind of.]
Fubuki: Hmm…
-Fubuki. are you actually being perceptive?
Fubuki: How'd he know we're after the mystery boy…?
-Becuase he's a creeper, but yes, good catch, Fubuki.
Ken: (he says something about catching the person) -NPC1-
Ken's Mother: -NPC2- Ken! Where are you? You can't just run off like this, you know! You haven't even done your homework yet! Gracious me! Wait… Wasn't he saying he was going to be a hero and find the strange fellow who's been causing all this bother? He'd better not be in the alleyway where people keep spotting the shady blighter! Which alleyway, you say? Go back to the left, and it's just in front of you.
Ken: I say, what do you want? Interested inw hat I'm up to, eh? Well, I'll tell you. Don't spill the beans to Mother though, will you, there's good sports. I'm lying in wait for the scoundrel who's been loitering around here lately. I'm desperate to be the one to catch him. Hm? What's that? You'll find him for me? I say, I rather think not! You're just trying to horn in on my glory, you rotter!
-Rotten little brat just wants his little bit of glory. Every dog has its day, but you're just a mutt.
Endou: It doesn't seem like he wants to budge.
Hiroto: Leave this to me.
-Oh god, creeper powers.
Hiroto: *goes up to him*
Ken: I-I say! Who are you?
Hiroto: You don't need to stay here any longer. You can go on home. Move along, now.
-Wow, you're really taking care of business, Hiroto.
Ken: …I say, I… home… really… should be… off…now…
-OhcrapHirotoknowshowtohypnotizeormanipulatemindsohgodohgodhthatisnotagoodabilityforanycreeperohgodIdon'tfeelsafeatnightanymore.
[The little boy leaves.]
Hiroto: There you go, Endou-kun. Now you can continue your search.
Endou: Um, thanks, but… what did you do to that boy?
-Creeper powers.
=CRASH!=
Touko: ! Endou! Someone's in there!
Endou: Let's go and see. It might be the boy we're looking for.
Fubuki: Careful, now. Easy does it.
-Is it a dog? Cat? JK
[Forward march into the west street!]
Fubuki: Where's he gone?
Touko: Over there!
-HEY, IT'S REIZE!
Endou: He got away! Wow, he's fast!
Fubuki: Not fast enough, I'll bet. *runs after and cuts him off* You'll not escape me so easily, lad. Get ready to… Huh?!
-'Get ready to'… what. What were you going to do, you wimpy little pretty boy? Beat him up? XD And then it takes, like, two seconds before he gets a !
Touko: Fubuki, what's the m… You!
Endou: Reize! What are you doing here? So you're the one who's been going around bothering everyone!
-… And he's the 'thing' Hiroto has been searching for? Okay.
Touko: Reize is the mystery boy?
Hiroto: …
Reize: Ugh… Who… Who are you people?
Touko: What?
Endou: Don't try and pretend you don't know who we are! I'm Endou Mamoru, captain of Raimon Junior High football club, and you destroyed my school!
Reize: Raimon Junior High… Sounds familiar… My name is… Uh, my name…
-:U REMEMBER, MIDORIKAWA! Just kidding.
Reize: I… I can't remember…
Touko: Endou, you don't think… Maybe Aliea Academy punished him for losing by wiping his memory?
Fubuki: That's bang out of order, is that.
-WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAAAAAN!?
Endou: How could they do this? Using football to hurt people is bad enough, but to hurt one of your own players… one of your teammates… your friends… You won't get away with this, Aliea Academy!
Hiroto: *walks to the side* Oh please… Spare me.
Fubuki: …?
Endou: I'll admit it, I wasn't exactly Reize's biggest fan, but this… *approaches*
Touko: Endou, don't get too close!
Endou: Look at you, Reize. You can't even remember who you are. I don't think you're in town to cause trouble… Listen, you'd better get out of here. Go somewhere safe.
-Which is… where?
Reize: Somewhere… safe… *saunter away?*
Endou: Reize! *runs after* Take this. *gives soccer ball*
Reize: What is… this?
Endou: It's a football! You're good at football, remember? You can play with us sometime. We'll all play together, okay?
Reize: Together… Yes. Sometime… *leaves*
Kabeyama: Is he going to warp back to outer space now>
Hiroto: Endou-kun, he destroyed your school. Are you just going to give him a ball and send him off? How can you forgive him for what he did?
Endou: I don't know. What I do know is that he's not the same Reize as he was before. Maybe now that he's changed, we can be friends. Football might bring us together this time instead of making us enemies.
-Rather, Endou doesn't have the heart to really hold a grudge and is very naive. He sees too much of the possible good in people.
Fubuki: You're a right soft touch, you are.
Touko: Well, if Endou thinks it's a good idea, I'm happy to go along with it! We should talk to Coach Hibiki if we want to recruit Reize or his friends.
-YES, THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS AND IN MY INTERESTS.
Hiroto: *leaving* These people…
[Fade out in- oh, we see Hiroto walking away, but Hitomiko caught a glimpse off him.]
Hitomiko: ! Hm…?! That was- No, it couldn't be… Could it…?
[Appear, the others!]
Endou: Hello there, Coach. Oh, is it time to get back to practice?
Fubuki: You all right, Coach? You look as if you've seen a ghost.
Hitomiko: I… I'm fine. It's nothing. And yes, it's time for you to get back to practice, so look lively!
Endou: Hey, where's Hiroto? Disappeared again?
-Like the creeper ninja he is.
Touko: We should let Manyuuji know that there's no need to worry about the mystery troublemaker anymore.
Endou: Yeah, now the others will finally let Kogure play with them! Let's head back to Manyuuji!
[We go!]
Hitomiko: Can that have really been who I think it was…?
[Okay, we need to report. BUT LET'S DO STUFF. Or not. TO Manyuuji]
Haruna: There's Kogure-kun. What's gong on? THe others look livid. Is he in trouble again?
Aki: Um, hello? Is something the matter?
Well…
Kogure was trying to steal your move manual!
Someoka: He was doing what?!
Kurimatsu: What a sneak! And while we were off trying to help him as well!
Kogure: No, no, no! You've got it all wrong! I was just going to borrow it! This lot have put two and two together and made twenty-two!
-You could put two and two together and make fish and it'd make sense.
Silence, thief!
Endou: Hang on! You can't just accuse people of stealing without any evidence! Kogure, we food out who was causing trouble in Kyoto. That means you can play football with everyone else now. Isn't that great?
Kogure: You mean… you were serious about helping me>
Haruna: Kogure-kun, if Captain says something, he always means it. You can trust him.
-For better or for worse.
Kogure: Trust…
[FLASHBACK. Not, just an image. Oh, wait, yes Flashback.]
Kogure: Where's my mummy?
Poor child. He's been waiting for his mother to come back for hours…
Kogure: She left me… I trusted her, and she left… Even if you trust people… they still leave…
-Isn't that normal?
[End flashback]
Endou: Kogure?
Kogure: Shut up! Shut up! Shut uuuuup! *throws move manual away*
Kabeyama: Aaagh! What are you doing?!
Kogure: Yuk yuk yu! There! Have your stupid manual!
Haruna: *SLAPS!*
Kogure: Ouch! You… What was that for?
Haruna: You inconsiderate little brat! Do you have any idea how what you just did makes us feel? After all we've done for you! That manual was written by Captain's grandpa-- his hero!
Kogure: …! B-… Well, how was I supposed to know that?!
-It's a general known COURTESY TO NOT THROW THE POSSESSIONS OF OTHERS THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY SHOULD BE THROWN.
[Kogure runs away]
Someoka: He's a real piece of work, that one!
Endou: !
Kazemaru: Endou?
Endou: Look at the manual. It's open at the section on defense moves.
-Um. How did Kogure even know that? Only Endou can really read the handwriting.
Haruna: Oh… Do you think that's because I told him he'd be a good defender…?
Endou: He must have been planning on practicing these moves by himself. He loves football so much, he just couldn't help himself.
Touko: ! Look at this! Look at this! There's a note over here!
["Borrowing move manual. Don't get knickers in twist. Kogure."]
Touko: So he really was just going to borrow it.
Fubuki: I wish you'd found that five minutes ago.
-Trolololol
Kabeyama: We've done something bad, haven't we…
-Um. No, I don't think so. It's called a misunderstanding.
Kurimatsu: But he just waltzed onto the bus and took it without asking! He's still in the wrong!
-Why are we trying to pin the blame?
Furukabu: Actually, he did ask someone. *appears*
Endou: Furukabu-san!
Furukabu: He promised to clean the bus if I let him in. He did a great job, too! It's sparkling!
-That should worry you because Kogure had access to everyone's belongings.
Someoka: It does look pretty spotless, now you come to mention it…
-We can see the Caravan from here? Okay.
Haruna: Kogure… I'm going to go look for him!
-By the way, did we really take that long that Kogure could finish cleaning the Caravan?
[CRASH!]
Endou: What was that noise? Don't tell me Epsilon have arrived already?
Kurimatsu: They're here!
Hitomiko: Calm down everyone. Let's go to the pitch and see what's happening.
[Forward!]
Taisho: Ask all you lille. Our answer remains the same. We will not play. Please leave.
Fedora: Leave Gyeh heh heh! Not likely!
Desarm: Silence, Fedora. There's nothing more to discuss. Destroy this place.
Zel: Yes, Desarm-san! *does so*
Taisho: Wh… Stop!
Dirk: Did you see that dark football, Elder Brother?
Marshall: Indeed, Younger Brother. Such malevolent energy…
Desarm: So, what will it be, Manyuuji?
[Paaan]
Taisho: It seems we have no choice. We will play you.
Kogure: …!
Wando: Captain!
Desarm: Hm. I thought as much.
Taisho: Master, forgive us our weakness… We have allowed our hearts to rule our heads…
-Oh, that's bad?
Aki: They'll be okay, won't they, Endou-kun? Manyuuji can beat Epsilon… can't they?
-No, that'd be against the script.
Endou: …
Kidou: It's time to see how powerful Epsilon really are.
[MATCH: MANYUUJI VS. EPSILON]
Taisho: Do not hesitate, team. Do not hold back! Wicked souls deserve punishment, and we are instruments of justice!
-Right….
Ha! Yah!
Desarm: Listen well, and do exactly as I say. Understood?
Zel: Yes, Desarm-san (sama?).
Fedora: Gyeh heh heh! I can't wait to crush them!
=All we could do was stand and watch as Manyuuji faced off against Epsilon… But nothing could have prepared us for the power Epsilon wielded…=
Maquia uses Meteor Storm, Zel uses Ganymede Proton, and then Gaia Break.
Taisho: Haa… Haa…
Kazemaru: Look at them… They're so fast… And so strong… They make a match against Gemini Storm look like a kickabout in the park.
-We could have had a kickabout in the park.
Kidou: And not only that. Desarm is a great leader. Their formation is precise and perfect. There are no chinks in their armor.
-Now, if you've seen what their formation looks like in the game, it's just hilariously retarded
Kogure: Look at them! Not so high and mighty now, are they! They're taking a right thrashing! …I hope they're okay… Bah! Why can't I stop worrying about that lot, even after what they did to me…
Taisho: Disgrace… We're a disgrace…
Dirk: Elder Brother!
Marshall: Younger Brother!
-Brother Brother!
Desarm: Is that all you've got? How tedious. I thought there might be at least one among you to amuse me.
Maquia: Hee hee! You've lost! And now we destroy your school, just like we said we would!
Endou: Wait!
Desarm: ! *looks* Hmm?
[Run over]
Endou: This isn't over yet. We'll play you!
Taisho: Endou!
Desarm: Raimon Junior High, eh?
Taisho: Endou, be careful. These creatures… They are without soul.
-Are you the judge of that?
Endou: Don't worry, we'll be okay.
-The script wills it.
Desarm: Raimon. You are the only team ever to have defeated Gemini Storm. But do not think for one second that means you will be able to defeat us.
-We will be able to in the future.
Zel: Heh. That would be insulting to us… and painful for you.
-Oh, I like insulting.
[Haruna turns around and notices Kogure]
Kogure" Eek…
Haruna: Kogure? Is that you over there?
-Um, child. He's out in the open. How can you mistake him to be anything else?
Haruna: You're here to get revenge for your team, right? To fight Epsilon?
-Dude, don't pressure him. That's terrible.
Kogure: I, er, well…
Haruna: *runs back to the others* Everyone! We have to let Kogure join the team!
Kogure: Huh?
Kabeyama: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
Haruna: He can join, can't he, Coach?
Kogure: But, but I...
Haruna: What are you so scared of, Kogure? Here's your chance to get your own back!
Kogure: But…
Haruna: I know you can do it, Kogure! I believe in you! I trust you!
Kogure: Not that again. You say that so easily.
Endou: I believe in you, too, Kogure!
Kogure: Bah, not ou as well?
Kabeyama: Umm…
Kogure: Huh?
Kabeyama: Sorry for just assuming you were up to no good, Kogure. I should have listened to you.
-Don't say that latter part, and is this really the time to discuss this? Apparently so!
Kurimatsu: I'm sorry, too.
Kogure: …
Touko: I believe in Endou, so if he believes in you, then I believe in you, too!
-It's all relative.
Fubuki: This is getting proper soppy now. Listen, Kogure, everyone believes in you, all right?
-We do?
Kogure: You believe in me…
Endou: Okay, that's settled! Welcome to the team!
-We didn't even get confirmation from Hitomiko, lol.
Kogure: What? I… Okay!
-That was fast.
Endou: Ready, everyone?
Kazemaru: Of course! We've come this far. We can't back down now!
Kabeyama: I'm scared… But I'll do my best!
Desarm: I will show you a little mercy, Raimon, by giving you some time to prepare. Bask in your foolishness a while before your inevitable demise. But attempt to escape, and you will be destroyed.
-Oh, you're going to kill us? Okay.
Touko: Who said anything about escaping? We're not going anywhere! Nyaaah!
Endou: Right, team! Let's make sure we're good and ready before facing Epsilon!
Hiroto: *sidelines* This should be fun.
-Stalking everyone. Goodness.
Desarm: So, Raimon, are you ready to face your doom? (YES) Then we shall begin… To play against us and lose should be considered an honor by worms such as yourselves!
[Doop, putting Kogure in.]
Desarm: Let the match begin!
Kayson: So this is the team who beat Gemini… I hope they're good enough to provide us with at least a little amusement.
Desarm: Hear me, Raimon! You defeated Gemini Storm… Well done.
-Damn straight.
Desarm: We will honor your strength by playing you for ten minutes. Be grateful for your chance to experience the might of Epsilon!
Endou: Ten minutes?!
Touko: You can't just make up the rules as you go along! I hate people who do that!
Fubuki: We'll beat them in the if that's what they want.
Kogure: Are this lot serious about beating these aliens? I can't believe this.
-As English dub would say, BELIEVE IT.
Desarm: Let the game begin! You will soon know the true might of Epsilon!
Oh. They Gaia Breaked me. Why?
10 minutes later.
Zel: Desarm-san. Ten minutes have passed.
Desarm: …Indeed.
Endou: Haa… Haa…
Natsumi: Unbelievable… Our attacks aren't even fazing them!
-Too bad I'm not really attacking to begin with…
Haruna: What are we going to do, Coach?
Hitomiko: ..
Endou: Ngh… We won't give up that easily! We have to beat them and protect Manyuuji! Okay, team?
Zel: Raimon are more tenacious than we had anticipated….
-People aren't doing their research on us properly.
Fedora: Pah, they're nothing. I heard that even those worthless Gemini losers roughed them up a fair bit before finally losing. Let's just get this over with and put them out of their misery!
Endou: W-Worthless? Did you just call Gemini Storm worthless?
Fedora: Yeah! Pathetic, worthless losers! Why else would they lose to a bunch of puny humans? We don't want the likes of them at Aliea!
-You'll come to regret that when I recruit Gemini Storm. Maybe.
Aki: That… That's horrible!
Kogure: They aren't wanted…?
[Flash back]
Even your mother abandoned you. Nobody wants you.
Kogure: Nobody… wants me…?
[End flash back]
Endou: That's enough!
Kogure: …
Endou: How can you call anyone worthless? You drag the name of football through the mud… You insult your own schoolmates… It's totally unforgivable!
-Lol, assuming they're schoolmates. I guess they technically are.
Endou: If you can't see that, you're the worthless ones!
Kogure: …!
Fedora: Talking back to us, eh? You've got a lot of nerve for a puny human!
Kogure: No one wants me… No one needs me… I'm…!
Haruna: Kogure-kun!
Kogure: …!
Haruna: You're doing brilliantly, Kogure-kun! You're keeping up with the rest of the team really well!
-'Cept his stats are low and he's at least 10 levels under us.
Kogure: Huh…? O-oh, thanks…
Zel: Desarm-san, let's need this now.
Maquia: Please, give the order!
Desarm: … No. Let's have a little more fun.
Zel: …! Desarm-sama?
Desarm: This feeling bubbling up inside me… What is this?
-What's this, what's this? There's white things in the air! What's this, there's other crap I don't feel to recall.
Desarm: Am I actually enjoying playing against them?
-No, you're just really bored.
Haruna: Keep going, Kogure-kun! You can beat Epsilon!
-Not with this script, nope.
Endou: Yeah! We believe in you, Kogure!
Kogure: I-I told you, stop saying things like that! …Fine! I'll do it, I'll do it!
-He'll do it, he'll do- what?
Shoot, lost the ball.
Haruna: Come on, Kogure-kun! Show them what you're made of!
Kogure: All right, all right! Stop going on about it!
LOL, ZEL MISSED THE GOAL!
Zel: Gah! Impossible!
Endou: Too bad! That was a nice shot, though!
-So nonchalant. XD
And he missed it again.
Whirlwind Force away? OKAY! THAT DID IT!
Aki: It's Kogure-kun! He got the ball!
Kogure: Huff… Puff… Phew! I did it!
Haruna: Brilliant, Kogure-kun! I knew you could do it if you tried!
Endou: Nice one, Kogure! We're on our way!
Desarm: Muhahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Kidou: ?!
Desarm: Amusing… Most amusing! I like it! Hahahahahaah!
Someoka: He's laughing at us…
Desarm: You must excuse me. It seems we've rather underestimated you.
-Tchya.
Desarm: Operation complete. Soldiers of Epsilon, stand down immediately!
Zel: Desarm-sama! Why…?
-Because you keep missing the damn goal, Zel.
Desarm: Hear this, Raimon Junior High! Your power is still no match for ours! We will give you time to train yourselves for a true test of strength! We will face each other again, and decide this once and for all!
-In ten days.
Endou: Wh-what?! What are you doing?!
-Ditching us.
[They leave with a flash of light. Pan to Hiroto.]
Hiroto: Not bad, Endou-kun… *leaves*
[Change! JK]
Endou: We didn't play a whole match, but we saw enough to know that Epsilon are incredibly powerful.
-We're higher leveled than them.
Endou: We've got a long way to go. We have to train hard and get better.
Fubuki: Chin up, Captain. At least we saved Manyuuji from being torn down.
-Fubuki's a lot more laid-back. Probably because Desarm doesn't hold a particular interest in him.
Fubuki: And we didn't technically lose…
-One point. I should have kept it at a tie.
Kogure: Wow! I'm so amazing! Aren't I amazing? Aren't I? Aren't I? Aren't I?
-He's like a dog who wants to be praised.
Kogure: It's because of me that the aliens ran off with their tails between their legs, isn't it?
-Can't say they did that, Kogure.
Kogure: Yeeeeah! They're so scared of me! Yeah! My super skills scared the spacemen right out of town! Yeeeeah!
Touko: Well, he's pleased, at least.
Haruna: Hee hee. Well done, Kogure-kun!
Natsumi: He was very fast. I thought I was seeing double at one point. Looks like all that cleaning-based speed training was worth it in the end.
Kogure: Huh? What are you on about? That wasn't training. I just wanted to get the cleaning over with as quickly as I could, that's all.
-Wax on, wax off.
Aki: Well, training or not, it seems to have helped.
Kogure: Uhh… So, Endou-san. Do you want a new superstar defender to help you save the world?
-No.
Endou: Really? Um, yeah, sure. I suppose you could come with us-
Taisho: Wait!
[Enter Manyuuji]
Dirk: Kogure is still in training, is he not, Elder Brother?
Marshall: Indeed, Younger Brother. He is not ready to play alongside such skilled footballers yet.
Kogure: You lot stay out of this! You're just jealous because you got steamrollered by those aliens!
-And you're vindictive.
Taisho: No, Kogure. Listen. You did well, but you are getting ahead of yourself. At this tage, you will be more of a hindrance to Raimon than a help.
-ON THE OTHER HAND, the story-received characters level up faster.
M.Coach: One moment, Taisho.
Taisho: Y-Yes, Master?
M.Coach: Endou. I want to ask you something as captain of your team. Will you take this fledgling footballer with you and whip him into shape?
-That's not Endou's job. That's Hitomiko's and Sho's.
M.Coach: You have my explicit permission to have him do anything you want, be it washing the bus, cleaning the seats, or whatever you like.
-A personal slave? That's actually not very appealing in my eyes.
Taisho: But… Master!
Endou: "As captain of your team"? You make me sound way more important than I am, but…
-Yeah, Captains really don't DO much normally.
Endou: Yes! Of course we'll take Kogure with us!
-Without consulting Hitomiko? Okay.
Kogure: Bah! You probably just wanted to get rid of me anyway!
M.Coach: Here, Kogure. A parting gift from me to you. *gives Kogure… something*
Kogure: ! What's this? It's… It's a Manyuuji team kit!
-AKA, the soccer uniform.
M.Coach: There is no player number on the back of the shirt yet. Go with the Raimon team, and make yourself useful to them. Help them in their mission. When you return, if you have proven yourself worthy, we will accept you into the Manyuuji team.
-As not reserve, I'd imagine.
Kogure: M-Master…
-Master, he says.
M.Coach: Farewell, Kogure Yuuya. *leaves with Manyuuji-*
Taisho: *falls into pitfall* Aah!
Marshall: A trap?
Kogure: Yuk yuk yuk… Thanks for everything, you big twit! *runs off*
Taisho: Kogureeeeeee!
Natsumi: All right, everyone, back on the bus.
Kogure: *comes back* Last one on the bus is a massive durrhead!
Touko: Hey! THat's not fair! Come back! *runs after*
-You do it, too, Touko.
Aki: Hee hee. It looks like things are about to get a lot more… interesting around here, wouldn't you say, Endou-kun?
Endou: Ha. Yeah, that's one way of putting it!
[Manyuuji gates]
M.Coach: Do not forget, Endou. There are capabilities lying dormant within you. May they come to no harm on their journey…
[TO ALIEA ACADEMY! VOICE ACTING, LOL]
Gazel: Desarm. It seems your match against the Raimon Eleven did not end in victory.
Burn: *HIS VOICE IS HIGHER THAN GAZEL'S* Unacceptable.
Desarm: …
Gran: So… Was it fun playing against them?
Burn: Shut up, you.
Gazel: Yes… I would prefer you leave this to us.
Gran: Forgive me if I hurt your feelings.
Burn: Do not forget. The battle between the three of us is not over yet.
Gazel: I do not know where you always go off to, but remember this: You may be one of the master's favorites, but you won't be able to do whatever you like for much longer.
Gran: I'll bear that in mind.
Gazel: Desarm. Leave the rest to us. The master already has all the pieces in place for the next phase.
-And I was hoping to hear Desarm's voice….
[EHIME PREFECTURE- GENDAAA!]
Genda: Hurry up, Sakuma!
Sakuma: Haa… Haa… I can't believe his cronies are after us again.
-You two were chased ALL THE WAY TO EHIME?! HOW DID YOU TWO DO THAT?! Or were you kidnapped and escaped?
Genda: Don't they ever give up? They're definitely on their guard. I think this proves that our information was correct. He is in Ehime.
-…WAIT, YOU TWO ARE GOING AFTER KAGEYAMA?!
Sakuma: But what's he doing here? What's he planning?
Genda: I don't know… But we're going to get him before he has a chance to do anything!
-And once again, kids doing adult jobs.
There they are!
Sakuma: Gah! This is no time for chatting!
[They run- Genda notices something!]
Genda: …! What's this…?
Sakuma: Come on! Quickly! ! They wouldn't go this far, would they?
Over there! Get them!
[Run- Noooooooooooooooooooo!]
And now we have a transition. BUT HEY, I LIKE THESE IMAGES.
[It's Teikoku? Yes, I think so. Kageyama!]
Kageyama: Muhahaha! At long last! My new fortress is finally complete! Soon, everyone will know of Shin Teikoku!
-Oh, it's just the submarine then.
[ENTER, THE COLOR ALIENS!]
Orange: The preparations took less time than we had anticipated.
-Somehow.
Orange: We have high expectations of you, Kageyama. Don't let us down.
Kageyama: Hmph. Who do you think you're talking to?
-You.
B.Brown: Hm. You still haven't learnt your place, I see. Very well, let me rephrase that. Do not attempt to double-cross the one who gave you back your freedom. Or else.
Kageyama: Don't worry. I honor my debts.
-I guess?
Kageyama: …I have only one desire.
-Kidou?
Kageyama: Raimon… They ruined my plans, my ambitions… They humiliated me!
-Okay, he wants the collective group with Kidou in it. Not at all creeper-like.
Kageyama: They will be Shin Teikoku's first victims.
Kenzaki: Hm. You intend to defeat the Raimon Eleven?
Mulberry: Kanzaki-san!
Kanzaki: If you succeed, my master will be very pleased. But are you absolutely sure you can defeat them? Your teams seem to have a nasty habit of losing to Raimon.
-Indeed they do. Sho is just a better commander, Kageyama. Just kidding.
Kageyama: Muhaha! But this time, I have an ace up my sleeve.
-More like, two hostages? Or are your referring to Fudou?
Kageyama: Fudou!
-Oh.
Fudou: Yeah, yeah… *drags Sakuma and Genda over, too* You rang?
Genda: Grr! Let us go!
Sakuma: Kageyama! What are you planning, curse you?
-PFT, WHAT KIND OF LINE IS THAT?!
Kageyama: Shut them up.
Fudou: Yeah, yeah… *ATTACKU*
Sakuma: Gah!
Fudou: Stop making such a fuss, will you? It's pathetic. You used to be Kageyama's slaves anyway, didn't you? Why not just stop whining and come back to what you know?
Genda: Shut up! We were never his slaves!
Sakuma: That's right! We always played of our own free will! It was the same for Kidou! And it still is now!
-In the game, Sakuma apparently says 'Kidou-san', but I'll make it easier on myself for typing.
Fudou: Kidou? Hah! You mean the one who left you all to rot?
Sakuma: ..!
Genda: Grr! What did you say?!
-I see Sakuma partially believes it if he doesn't make a remark there.
Fudou: Poor babies! First Zeus completely humiliate you, and then your captain ditches you! Awwww!
-Awww indeed.
Fudou: It breaks my heart to think that if he hadn't stabbed you in the back, none of this would have happened!
-The heart that pumps hatred through your body? The one that you wanted Genda to feel?
Sakuma: What?!
Fudou: *approach. Looks like he approached Sakuma more* Feel the anger! Let it make your blood boil! It will make you stronger! It will make you like us!
-Who is 'us'?
Genda: …Like you?
-Do we want that? I mean, imagine Genda and Sakuma with Fudou hair. Wow. And his personality.
Fudou: Can you hear my heart beating? Can you feel my blood screaming?
-Okay, now I don't want to know what you're doing there, Fudou.
Fudou: With each beat, it wants to be stronger! Stronger, stronger, stroooooonger!
-Fasfter, faster, faaaaaster- oh. Um. Er. This… this…… …………… *cough*
Sakuma: …
Fudou: The same blood flows through your veins.
-Egad, you're siblings?
Fudou: You want to be strong. Stronger than anyone! Stronger even than Kidou Yuuto!
Sakuma: Stronger than Kidou…
Fudou: You'd do anything to be stronger. You'd even sell your souls, wouldn't you?
-I wonder if the European translators watched the subbed anime.
Genda: …
-Now we see you, Genda. For a second, I thought you were just ignoring this and letting Sakuma suffer it all.
Fudou: Wouldn't you…?
Kanzaki: Well, I'd love to stay longer, but… I expect to hear good news from you shortly. *leaves*
-It wasn't at all creepy that a bunch of adults just watched Fudou kind of mind-screw Sakuma and Genda.
Kageyama: Muhaha! Everything is finally in place. I'm waiting for you, Kidou! Come and get me!
-Come at me, bro. COME AT ME.
