Kazemaru: Who on earth are they?
-Oh god, we're going to have a whole slew of 'on earth' phrases because we're dealing with 'aliens', aren't we?
[Oh, look, they walk off. Yeah. Right. Just try and act cool like we give a crap. Oh. I think we do.]
Endou: W-Wait!
[We run forward- but encounter a team of… creepers.]
Endou: What are you doing? Let us past!
Kazemaru: ! *runs forward* Bob? Is that you?
-HOLY CRAP, THE GENERIC BOB-NAMING. KAZEMARU, WE ARE BUDS NOW!
Endou: Do you know him, Kazemaru?
Kazemaru: Yeah, we were in the athletics club together. What's going on?
Kidou: ! *steps forward* Something's not right here. They're acting strange. It's almost as if… as if they're under someone else's control.
-I feel like you'd know, Kidou.
Jammen: (IDK WHO YOU ARE, but wharves) Bwahahaha! We've been waiting for you, Raimon Junior High football club!
-Can we just call them 'Raimon'? KTHXBAI.
Endou: Wh-what?!
Tappen: We need not bother our masters. We'll deal with you fools ourselves!
[BATTLE! WIGGLE MUSIC]
-We're just gonna screw this and use Dragon Crash. IN THE FACE. OH, OH, LEVEL UP! LEVEL 2, PEEPS! THERE IS A GOD! And it's not God Hand.
Endou: What are they doing challenging us to a game of football? They're not even a proper team!
Kazemaru: What's happened to you, Bob? Don't you recognize me? We're friends, remember?
Jammen: Hmph. Friends? Don't make me laugh. Soon we will have such power, it will make worms like you… Ngh!
[They're um….. wiggling.]
Endou: What? What's happening?
Jammen: Ngh… Ghhaaaaa!
[They run away!]
Kazemaru: Hey! Wait!
Kidou: What's going on?
[ENTER, GREEN TEA ICE CREAM! And some dramatic music]
??? (Reize): I hope you've enjoyed the welcome we prepared for you.
-Yep. You know. Destroyed school. Great decoration. The derelict and rubble theme is very consistent.
Reize: Controlling the minds of the weak is so easy!
-I find that mind-control is a very popular form of… manipulation in the Inazuma series.
Endou: What do you mean "controlling"? What did you do to them?
-To address the former, it's not hard to figure out with your 14-year old mind, Endou.
Kidou: Who are you? Answer me!
Reize: We don't have the time or breath tow sate talking to the likes of you.
-Then please kindly explain why you voluntarily WALKED UP TO US AND STARTED TALKING TO US.
Reize: Besides, we have already won this battle.
[They start leaving, but are stopped by Endou.]
Endou: W-Wait!
[FLASH OF LIGHT! They vanish!]
Endou: They vanished…
Kabeyama: Whoa! You did all just see that, didn't you? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me again?
Kazemaru: ! Look at that, Endou!
[Oh, look, some of the Veterans and Furukabu.]
Aida Chikara: Uhhh…
[Let's all run up to them!]
Endou: Aida-san! You look hurt! Are you okay? Ukishima-san, Biruda-san (It's literally 'Builder')! Are you both all right?
Haruna: Wow, if the Inazuma veterans are this badly affected, something seriously must be going on…
-Just a side note, but it appears the pitch is completely unharmed-ish. THIS MUST BE THE INSTANTANEOUS FIELD RECOVERY! THE FIELD AND GOAL NET ARE INVINCIBLE!
Biruida Kouichi: What have we done? We've let them…
Ukishima Kazuto: E-Endou… I'm sorry… We couldn't… We couldn't protect the school…
Endou: Protect the school? From what? What happened?
-Since I knew what happened, I'd like to ask: why were you guys even at Raimon? Where were all the other students?
[Enter the principal!]
Endou: Principal Hirai! Are you all right, Sir?
Hirai: A-aliens…
Endou: What did you just say, Sir? Aliens?!
Hirai: Yes, aliens… We've been attacked by aliens! From space!
-And here I thought we were going to be attacked by foreigners. Damn. Oh, wait, that's next season.
[CUSCENE OF WHAT HAPPENED! Clearly, they're trying to kill students here. And there were THREE SOCCER BALLS, SO WHERE DID THOSE OTHER ONES APPEAR FROM? And how come the rest of the town doesn't seem to notice this? Planet of Aliuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssss. 'Mighty Alius Academy', lol…]
Hirai: …And that's what happened.
Natsumi: I don't believe it…
Kazemaru: So they really do exist. I KNEW it…
-Holy crap, Kazemaru, you believe in those things? Okay, bro-ship over, you just lost cool points. JK
Kabeyama: This is awful! Terrible! I can't take it! I… I… …I really need the toilet! *runs off*
-Do you need to use it, or have you formed some peculiar and slightly disturbing bond with it, Kabeyama? Not that I want to judge or anything, but really…
Natsumi: Do you know where my father is?
Hirai: Oh, yes, I forgot. . He's waiting for you all in… a secret location. Follow me.
-Secret, secret location that apparently the principal is in on.
[SO WE FOLLOW HIRAI TO-… something.]
Hirai: Oh no! The entrance to the Flash Training Facility is blocked by rubble!
-Um, not that any MODERN DAY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT CAN'T REMEDY THIS METHOD, we kind of know of this place already. Not very secret.
Kazemaru: Don't tell me the Chairman is trapped in there?
Hirai: Umm…
-Modern day tech, people.
Natsumi: No!
-MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY, PEEPS! Or super dimensional soccer. Whichever.
Endou: *goes up to the rubble which kind of just looks like the statue previously over the facility is back over it. To which, can't we just push it off…?*
Kabeyama: Captain!
Endou: *eyes closed* Ngghhh… *assuming he's concentrating here* > < Ngah! *steps back* No use. It won't budge.
-Oh, he was pushing it. Okay. Here I thought he was gonna GOD HAND that rubble's rocky bum.
Hirai: This is the only way down there. Whatever will we do now?
-*points above*
Kidou: Hey, Endou. Look at what the aliens have done to the school. If get;ve snagged up this badly…
-BY THE WAY, NOT GOING TO SEARCH FOR ANY INJURED/DEAD STUDENTS, ARE WE?
Kidou: …we might find a new hole somewhere that will take us down there.
-And find search for any injured people along the way? OR MAYBE EVEN CALL THE AUTHORITIES? HELLOOOOOO?
Hirai: But of course! The students were all evacuated to an area near the football club room to the west.
-Oh, okay, never mind, it seems ALL OF THEM WERE SAFELY EVACUATED, EVEN THOUGH THE ATTACK WAS OUT OF THE BLUE AND THE CHANCE THAT ALL BUILDINGS WERE EMPTY WAS OOOOOBVIOUSLY HIGH.
Hirai: I suppose the first thing to do would be to see if any of them know anything.
-I think the first thing to do is call for help. But what do I know, I'm a normal person in a normal universe. No super-dimensional soccer where 'aliens' use soccer to battle our worth out here.
Endou: Okay, Sir! Good idea! Let's get going, everyone!
Hirai: W-wait! Don't leave m- Ahem! I mean, I should accompany you.
-Like the 'responsible' adult you are.
Endou: …Huh? Um, of course.
Shishido: Principal Hirai, you're not planning on running off to hide in the Training Facility, are you?
Hirai: Wh-what are you implying?! My sole aim is to ensure that the Chairman is unharmed!
-And I'm the Queen of England/
Shishido: Yeah, yeah, we believe you, Sir. Anyways, let's get going, Captain.
[Starting to leave, Natsumi is left behind.]
Kabeyama: I hope the clubroom hasn't been smashed to bits…
Endou: Me, too.
-We're thinking about the clubroom when the rest of the- wow. Just, wow. Insensitive kids.
Natsumi: *looks towards the previous opening of the Training Facility* Father…
[BACK IN CONTROL! INVESTIGAAATE!]
Just gonna head on west to see most of the things basically ruined. At least the clubroom is somewhat okay… well. It's still up, but kind of crushed.
Kabeyama: Waaah! The club room!
Kazemaru: …It's ruined.
Kidou: I suppose there was no way it could have withstood an attack like that.
Shishido: I know it was a bit on the shabby side, but to see the club room reduced to this…
-It looks better than the other rooms and buildings, just saying.
Endou: *SHAKING*
Shishido: …Captain?
Endou: I-I won't let them get away with this! How dare they harem our veteran players?! How dare they destroy our school?! I won't stand for it, I tell you!
Kabeyama: Captain…
Kidou: There's nothing we can do here. Let's focus on getting down to the Training Facility.
Kazemaru: Yeah… Let's ask around and see what we can find out.
[PILE OF RUBBLE NEXT TO THE CLUBROOM!]
Kabeyama: Hey, do you see that hole under the pile of rubble?
Endou: Huh?
-Or something like that, I accidentally skipped.
Hirai: A hole, you say I'm afraid my poor eyes aren't what they were.
Endou: Out of my way! *PUSH!*
-HOLY CRAP, HOW DID YOU DO THAT, ENDOU? THAT RUBBLE WAS PRETTY BIG! God Hand'ed.
Hirai: Stairs? Here? Well, I never…
Handa: THey lead underground. Which means… maybe they'll lead us to the Flash Training Facility!
-I'm under the impression Raimon was, like, a military base long ago. Just saying. And I'm just sticking with Flash Training Facility because I'm too lazy to search what it is in Japanese.
Kidou: It's possible…
Kabeyama: U-Underground? That sounds a bit creepy… I hate creepy places! Brr…
-… 'Brr' is for cold places. And you really didn't say much when Natsumi shoved us all into the Training Facility in the first game.
Kageno: Hm hm hmmm… Don't be afraid of the shade! It's peaceful down there in the darkness.
-I think Kageno wants to secretly murder us all. Just saying.
Handa: ! Aah! Kageno! Where'd you spring from?
Kageno: Hm hm hm hmmm…
-He's trying to decide which one of us to kill first.
Endou: ..Er. Right, come on guys! Let's head down there!
-It doesn't help that I've been watching Half-Life Two Let's plays.
[Investigation continues DOWN! … Onigawara…?]
OKAY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE, TOO? YOU'RE LIKE A STALKER AS WELL.
Onigawara: So, you finally made it.
Endou: ! Onigawara-san! What are you doing here?
Onigawara: We can catch up later, Endou. The Chairman/Souichirou is waiting for you inside.
Natsumi: F-Father! Wh-what's in there, Detective?
Onigawara: You'll see for yourself once you go inside. But first things first… I'm going to have to frisk you all before I let you in.
-He's also secretly a pedophile. Kinda like Kageyama in a way. Children touchers.
Endou: Fr-Frisk us?!
Onigawara: Yes. I need to check that none of you is bugged. We can't afford to take any risks. I'm sorry, but that's just how secret this place is.
-About as secret as a flight of stairs going down right next to the soccer clubhouse. To which, we left it out in the open, is that okay?
[Enter other… Raimon students to frisk? Um…..okay….]
Endou: Wahh!
[Lol, Natsumi went to the side]
Kurimatsu: Look at my tracksuit! It's all creased! And my poor mother just ironed it!
Kabeyama: And my hair! It's a mess! Do you know how long it takes to get it to look like this?!
-No one wants to know.
Onigawara: Apologies, buy it's a necessary inconvenience. You're all clear. Let's head inside.
[…. and we're no longer in our sweats. UM. Anyways, heading inside… Oh, look, technology. And there's the Chairman.]
Endou: Wow!
Chairman: Ah, you're all here.
Natsumi: Father! You're all right!
-I'm assuming that's what bunkers are for, to keep people safe. Now, my question is how did he get trapped here to begin with? Why was he down here in the first place?
Hirai: What is this place, Chairman?
Chairman: I set this command center as a base of operations for investigating Kageyama Reiji. I never thought I would end up having to use it in a situation like this.
-I'm just going to assume he had some elevator to reach this area from his office, otherwise he had to go outside and deliberately go through the Training Center to get here.
Shishido: Look at this! All these gizmos and gadgets!
-And they mock me when I told them about MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY.
Max: Don't touch anything! You don't want to press a self-destruct button by mistake…
Kabeyama: S-Self destruct? Waahh! Now you're just trying to scare me!
-Like he normally does.
Endou: Chairman! Do you know anything about these Aliea Academy invaders? What's going on? Why have they destroyed Raimon Junior High?
Chairman: Hmm… Well, one thing's for certain: this is an entirely unprecedented event.
-No, really.
Chairman: You deserve to know what's going on. And what kind of power these beings have. Allow me to explain.
Onigawara: Souichirou, perhaps it'd might be easier to show them this?
Endou: What's that, Onigawara-san? A video?
Onigawara: Yes. We just received this footage from the Football Federation. Brace yourselves. This is no Saturday morning cartoon.
-I bet that was what Inazuma Eleven was.
Kurimatsu: Brace ourselves? I don't like the sound of this…
Chairman: Ready? Then we'll begin.
[VIDEO!]
Kazemaru: ! Wait a second! I recognize them! It's the kids from Kidokawa Seishuu Junior High!
Chairman: Correct. THe former school of your friend, Goenji Shuuya.
-We already know this.
Chairman: Aliea Academy showed up at Kidokawa Seishuu, too.
[CUTSCENE! Basically, Kidokawa being owned.]
-QUESTION!!!! Does the Football Federation have hidden cameras on all campuses…?
Endou: Not even the mighty Kidokawa Seishuu could stand up to Aliea…
Kabeyama: Those look like the same aliens who attacked our school.
Chairman: Yes, and our sources inform us that Kidokawa Seishuu was not the only other school targeted. It seems most of the schools that compete in the Football Frontier have been attacked.
-THIS MAKES SENSE BECAUSE ONLY THE 'STRONGER' TEAMS PARTICIPATE IN THE FF.
Endou: What?!
[Cutscene again. Football team from outer spaaaaaaaace. Judging from their inhuman power, lol]
Kidou: So, just to be clear… mankind is not alone in the universe.
-Coming from you, Kidou, that is hilarious.
Kidou: …And our cosmic neighbors, for reasons unknown, choose to do battle through football? Interesting…
-Interesting indeed.
Natsumi: But why football?
Endou: Hmmm… I wonder. Of course! Football's greatness must have spread even to the furthest reaches of space!
-Endou. You're retarded.
Natsumi: Don't be ridiculous, Endou-kun.
-For once, I agree with her.
Natsumi: Father, what are you going to do about this?
Chairman: Well, my investigation into the matter is still ongoing… *CELL PHONE* …! Hello? What?! Okay… Understood. Yes. Good-bye.
Natsumi: I wonder who that was…
Chairman: Listen, everyone. I have some bad news. Kasamino Junior High have just received warning of an impending attack.
Endou: ! Kasamino?
Haruna: But they've only just received official approval to become a proper football team.
-I'm going to assume Natsumi used her connection of her Father to make Raimon's 7-to-11/12 man team approved.
Kabeyama: Their team's only just started out, and they're going to be smashed to bits like Raimon? That's so unfair!
Endou: Chairman! We'll go to Kasamino and give those aliens what for!
-We're only level 2, Endou.
Chairman: B-but…
Endou: It was hard enough seeing our own school pitch and club room smashed to smithereens…
-We only saw what happened after, dude.
Endou: I won't let another team go through that!
Someoka: He's right! I don't care where this Aliea crowd comes from. We have to show them that they can't just go around wrecking people's schools!
Handa: Yeah! Let's do it! We can beat them! If the reigning Football Frontier champions can't do it, no one can!
-You better rethink that, Mr. Plain.
Kidou: We'll be careful, Chairman. Please, we have to try.
Chairman: *DELIBERATION* I doubt you would take no for an answer anyway… But you have my permission. But be careful. There are many people around here whose minds are being manipulated by Aliea Academy. They'll starte a football battle as soon as look at you. Be on your guard.
-Wow. Talk about doing the adult thing and letting middle school kids handle the situation. Really responsible and adult.
Endou: Don't worry about us, Sir! We're always ready for a game of football!
Aki: Listen, Endou-kun. There are dangerous times ahead, and you don't know what you'll face. If I find out anything I think might be useful to you, I'll post it on my blog.
-How about tumblr instead? They come with pictures!
Endou: Erm… Remind me what a blog is again.
-…AND THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS OR HIGH LEVELS, ENDOU.
Aki: You've got a brain like a sieve, Endou-kun! It's a sort of diary that you post up on the Internet so everyone can read it…
Endou: Ah, a BLOG! Yeah, I knew that.
- :|
Aki: I'll post something now just to be sure.
-LOL, EVERYONE ON THE SCREEN LOOKED TO THE SIDE TO SEE THE BLOG UPDATE ICON APPEAR.
Aki: (lost, sorry) Take a look from time to time. I'll post about the team and anything else that could be useful. You'll find the blog under "Info" in the menu. If you get stuck and don't know what to do next, the blog may hold the key!
-I don't know why I'm recording this tutorial.
Aki: Okay, I'm going to go to the hospital to let Goenji-kun know what's been going on.
-At least someone remembered the team's OTHER sis-con.
Endou: Thanks, Aki!
[Aki leaves.]
Natsumi: Otonashi-san and I will go with you and the team to Kasamino Junior High, Endou-kun…
Haruna: Good idea. A journalist needs to be where the action is, and this could be the scoop of the century!
[Both of them run off… wait, I thought they're coming with us. Not ahead of us…]
-By the by, Haruna, you're a manager now, not a journalist.
Endou: Okay! To the school gates, and on to Kasamino! We'll show those aliens how we play the Beautiful Game!
-Okay, now I'm certain you're really retarded.
[TO KASAMINO!]
By the by, to update…
TEAM LEVEL: 2
TITLE: THE UNSURE ELEVEN
Going out, going out- EVENT BATTLE!
Endou: Who are you?!
Kelp: Heh heh heh… This is as far as you go. We're under orders from Lord Janus not to let you past.
-See, I'm going to keep Janus there for LULZ, but it's Reize.
Endou: ! Reize? … Oh, are you some of these people the aliens are controlling? Okay, have it your way (with Burger King!). Get ready for battle, team! Let's shoo 'em what we've got…
[BATTLE!]
WE MADE IT TO LEVEL 3!!!
Kelp: …
[They leave!]
Team Level: 3
Title: The Raimon Eleven
Team Level: 4
Team Level: 5
So apparently Kasamino is RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIVERBANK. Okay, makes sense. Going up- locked. Right. Gonna totally keep out the aliens.
Endou: Huh? The gate's locked tight!
Kabeyama: And the pitch is completely deserted…
Endou: That's odd. Maybe they don't know the alines are on their way?
-Or, you know, they might have EVACUATED, KNOWING THAT THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE?
Haruna: I highly doubt that.
-Voices of reason speaking to you, Endou.
[Crash!]
Endou: ! What now?! An earthquake? That's all we need!
Kazemaru: Endou! Look! Over there!
[There's Reize and his croonies.]
Endou: It's the same aliens that appeared at Raimon! Drat! I can't get the gate open!
-If you could, this school needs better security.
Endou: Hey! Hello! Anyone there?
-Calling out when the aliens are there. Okay.
Natsumi: …No answer.
Shishido: You don't suppose… the aliens already got everyone?
Haruna: D-don't even think that!
Kazemaru: There must be a way in there!
Endou: Theres' nothing else for it. We'll have to climb over the gate!
[Natsumi's phone rings!]
Natsumi: I don't recognize this number…
Haruna: Who could be ringing you at a time like this?
Natsumi: I don't have the faintest idea… *pick up* Hello?
??? (Hitomiko): Hello there, Raimon-san.
Natsumi: Who is this?
Hitomiko: No need to be so curt, Raimon-san. I got your phone number from your father.
Natsumi: My father?
Hitomiko: So you've arrived at Kasamino Junior High. I must say, you took a little longer than I expected.
Natsumi: Who on earth is this? Tell me!
Hitomiko: There's no time for introductions. I'll get straight to the point. Head left from the school gate, and you'll find a section of the wall has crumbled. You'll be able to get into the school grounds from there. That's all for now.
Natsumi: W-wait! *beep* …She hung up. Could it be the same person who rang my father earlier and told him about the attack on Kasamino Junior High?
Haruna: Wow, your dad has a mysterious information who feeds him vital information! I'm so jealous!
-The time and place is wrong, Haruna.
Handa: This is no time to be wishing your life was more dramatic.
-Your lives are an anime, if it's anymore dramatic, you'd be in a soap opera.
Natsumi: According to the woman on the phone, we can get into the school if we head left here. But can we trust her…?
Endou: We don't have time to worry about that! Let's just go and see! *runs offer*
Kabeyama: Wait, Captain! *chase*
Kazemaru: Left of the gate? That's pretty precise…
Kidou: Yes. Almost as if she was watching us from somewhere nearby…
-She probably is. Most adults in the Inazuma series are kinda creepers.
Endou: What are you standing around for? Let's go!
Kazemaru: We're coming!
-Let's go! Going around, ONTO THE PITCH! Where Kasamino's soccer team is there, too!
Reize: Come out, come out, wherever you are…
-How can you not see them behind the soccer goal?
Idemae You: Uhh… Ha. Are you… are you really from outer space?
Reize: Why do you hide? Will you face us in battle or won't you?
Mizuguchi Seiji: What should we do, Captain? This lot have already destroyed Raimon Junior High…
Yasunaga Hidetsugu: There's no way we can beat them. Our only option is not to play them.
Idemae: Yes… You're right. It's for the good of the school. Refusing to play is the only way.
Reize: Well? Have you decided?
Idemae: Y-yes. We have. We refuse to play you.
Riimu: Huh huh huh…
Gorureo (THIS IS REALLY JUS GALILEO): Ho ho ho…
-You're not Santa.
Reize: Wealkings…
[POWER SURGE.]
Idemae: Wh… what are you doing?!
Reize: Destroying your school.
Mizuguchi: Huh?!
Reize: By refusing to play, you have shown just how weak you truly are. Your cowardice is tantamount to failure. And failure is punished with destruction.
Idemae: Wait! Stop! You can't… Hey!
Endou: Stop right there!
[Enter Raimon]
Reize: You…
Endou: Yes, me! Endou Mamoru, captain of Raimon Junior High football team! We'll play you in place of Kasamino. How about it? That's fair, right?
Idemae: Endou…
Reize: Ha! At last you reveal yourself.
-We were kinda stuck behind the gates. Couldn't you have helped us by breaking the gates down, or could you only do that if Kasamino lost or forfeited?
Endou: Huh?
Reize: The champions of… what was the name of your pathetic competition? The "Football Frontier"? Yes… You are the Inazuma Eleven, are you not?
-Raimon Eleven, dumb ice cream cone head.
Kabeyama: Y-you know who we are?
Reize: This is perfect. The rest of your kind will be all the more terrified when we defeat you. After all, if even their best players are powerless to stop us, they will surely lose any hope they may have clung to otherwise.
Someoka: Grrr! You…!
Reize: Listen well, puny ones. My name is Reize, and we are… Gemini Storm!
-Your pause for dramatic effect makes me laugh.
Reize: We have come to determine your destiny, Earthlings.
Kazemaru: Our destiny?
Endou: Who do you think you are? And what kind of crazy ideas do you have about football? Football isn't a tool of oppression! It's a beautiful game that gives hope to people all over the world and brings them together.
-See? Earth, world, references to the planet. Goodness. And this just kinda foreshadows the Fifth Sector in the future.
Endou: Maybe you'll understand that when we win!
Kabeyama: *looks around* B-But Captain… Goenji-san isn't here… Can we really take them on?
Handa: What are you so afraid of, Kabeyama? We're the national champions!
-At level 5.
Handa: Let's show them what we've trained so hard for!
-And lost within the span of a week.
Kabeyama: B-but… They're… aliens…
-We're also aliens, you know. To them.
Kidou: Be strong, Jack. You can do it. WE can do it.
Kabeyama: Kidou-san… Okay! I'm with you!
-Apparently, he's not with Handa.
Endou: Hold tight, Aliea Academy! We're about to boot you back into space!
-Ahahahahahaha… this is just… going to be painful.
[MATCH: Vs. GEMINI STORM - I]
Endou: You think you can use football as a tool of destruction? Well, I won't let you!
Reize: Ha! Your defiance is mildly amusing. You are welcome to try and stop us. Futile though it will be…
Kabeyama: Y-y-you smashed up our school! Even if you are from outer space, you won't get away without his! We're not pushover, you know!
-At level 5, yes we are.
Shishido: Yeah! We're the Football Frontier champions, and don't you forget it!
Reize: I believe you have a saying here on Earth: "Pride comes before a fall"…
-Do we really have a saying like that?
Kidou: You think we're going to let you get away with this?
Endou: No way! We're taking you on, Aliea, and we're going to win!
OH. NOW WE HAVE LONG RANGE SHOOTING. EFF.
But this will be fun.
….Checking their levels, we're kind of at the same. o-o OKAY THEN.
Passing around- oh, Kidou got slide tackled by Reize.
Kazemaru: They're too fast!
…. not really… However, this first match is programmed to be against us, so our level is irrelevant.
Diam: Ha! Pathetic worms.
Endou: Agh! I'll save the next one!
'Witness the power of Gemini' says Diam….
Kidou: What are they…? They're so fast… Even faster than the team from Zeus Junior High…
Kabeyama: I-I want my mom!
Kazemaru: Is it possible? Could they really be from outer space?
Natsumi: …
Haruna: This is unbelievable!
Shorin: We just can't keep up!
-Actually, if it wasn't for the programming, we're actually doing pretty well. Just saying.
Handa: How are we even going to stop them?
Endou: Don't give up! We've only just started! Just keep it together 'till Goenji arrives. He's bound to be on his way!
-Relying on Goenji again? Oh jeez…
Shishido: Yeah… M-Maybe if Goenji-san was here…
Someoka: Gah! Where is he when we need him?
-Even Someoka relies on him.
Endou: Come on, everyone! Don't get down! Let's start with a goal and take it from there!
Natsumi: Hurry up, Kino-san…
=We'd never seen such incredible skills on the pitch before. The aliens scored goal after goal after goal. By the end of the first half, the score was a crushing 10-0 to Aliea Academy. We hadn't even come close to scoring. But we never gave up! We knew that he'd come and save the day… We knew that Goenji could grab a goal for us and turn the tide in our favor. So we waited for him to arrive… What else could we do?=
Endou: Huff… Puff… Phew…
Reize: This is the extent of your skills? You humans are every bit as worthless as we thought.
Endou: What did you just say?
Reize: Muhahahahaha!
Kazemaru: Gah! Is there nothing we can do to beat them?
Kabeyama: They've scored so many goals, not even Goenji-san can save us now!
Kurimatsu: Let's face it, Kasamino is just as doomed as Raimon!
Kidou: Come on! The second half is starting! Focus on the game!
Kabeyama: -sob- It's all over! Ohhh!
-I just don't even want to comment on how easily they give up.
Endou: We still have a chance, everyone! The game isn't over until it's over! We have to score a goal. I just know that if we do that, we'll create more opportunities and turn things around!
Goenji: Endou! *appears with Aki* Got time to make a substitution?
Endou: Goenji! You're here!
Natsumi: What took you so long?
Endou: They're good, Goenji. Really good. We got completely steamrolled in the first half.
Goenji: So I heard. This is the Aliea Academy team?
Reize: Ha. Your "ace striker" has arrived? This should be fun.
[BACK TO BATTLE]
Kidou: Now that you're back, Goenji, we can use our most powerful move… The Inazuma Break.
-That's our most powerful move?
Endou: Yeah! Nobody can stop us once we unleash the Inazuma Break -- not even aliens!
-IDK, man, some Italian or German aliens might.
Kabeyama: If the three of you can join forces and carry it off, we can't lose!
Someoka: You said it! These aliens are about to get their comeuppance!
-Realize that at the current level, I HIGHLY DOUBT we can use Inazuma Break eleven times, assuming they don't score more on us and assuming Inazuma Break actually works. Gosh, these kids.
Shorin: We still have hope! We can still win this match!
Kidou: All right, everyone. Pass me the ball when I'm in front of their goal. I'll lead the Inazuma Break.
-Oh, our brave, Midfielding Playmaker leader. Obviously showing everyone up by NOT relying on Goenji, lol.
Endou: Come on, everyone! Let's turn the tables on these aliens!
Reize: So this is their "superstar striker". Goenji Shuuya, is it? Excellent. This will be a perfect opportunity to see how they perform at full strength.
And so we continue, la di da di da, people with better odds being owned because of programming- WAIT, GOENJI INTERCEPTED THE BALL FROM REIZE?! And then I spend a couple of minutes passing around before it's stolen. Oh, so sad.
…And then I slide tackle Reize with Goenji. This is very fulfilling.
Endou: Nice work! Now let's hit them with a counterattack!
PASS TO SOMEOKA, TO KIDOU! Wow, Gemini Storm's defense is weak. Anyways, Inazuma Break awaaaay…. Endou's Yellow Practice gloves make me lol. But the shoot is easily caught.
Kidou: Blast, I'll score next time! Team, one more Inazuma Break!
Goenji basically is the one stealing the ball. TAKE IT FROM PANDORA, TO KIDOU, AND- …. you don't have enough TP for Inazuma Break again. Oh, snivel. Shoot- oh, it went in- or not. XD Game's programming?
Kidou: I missed? That wasn't part of the plan.
Galileo: What was that?! Yoohoo! The goal's over here!
I guess I'll just wait to God Hand things here. So- GOENJI, STOP STEALING THE BALL! Okay, thank you. Reize to shoot!
Endou: I'll save this one, you'll see!
Kidou: Use God Hand, Endou!
-It's like we don't know.
Kidou: If you can catch the ball and get it out to me… … I can use Inazuma Break!
=Endou gets an Energy Boost! TP restored=
Reize shoots! Normally.
Endou: Nnnggggaaaaaaaaah!
Reize: …What is this? He's building up some kind of energy…
GOD HAND Catch!
Endou: I… I did it!
-It's like he's never seen God Hand work before, lol…
Reize: Hmm. So you stopped it, did you? Well, every dog has its day, I suppose. That is a saying you earthlings use, is it not? Hm. Perhaps you can provide us with some entertainment after all.
Kurimatsu: I think… I think we've got a chance!
-Not if Kidou's TP remains sucky.
Kazemaru: Yes! We can do it!
-American World War Number war effort poster for woman much?
Endou: To you, Kidou!
Yay, pass animation that we'll never get again.
Kidou: Leave it to me…
=The sound of Endou's voice spurs Goenji and Kidou into action! Together, they should be able to break through Gemini's defences. Use them to bring the ball to the goalmouth!=
-We're already here.
Endou: Are you ready, Gemini? We're about to show you what kind of football we really play!
Kidou: This move can't fail!
Goenji: Take this! INAZUMA… BREEEEEEEAK!
-Are you squawking?
=Kidou gets an energy boost! (that he really needs) Kidou's TP has been restored!=
And once again, Inazuma Break! And it's caught with one hand.
Galileo: What kind of lame shot was that?
Endou: How…?! He wasn't even looking at the ball?
-Maybe cause Hissatsu shoots tend to be aimed STRAIGHT AT THE GOALKEEPER?!
Kazemaru: Even Inazuma Break didn't work…?
Reize: You call that a special move? I suppose that's the best humans can do.
Someoka: Grrr!
Endou: No! There are no limits to what humans can do!
-Clearly, someone watches too much anime.
Aki: Endou-kun…
Reize: You don't know when to give up, do you? Your pathetic human optimism will only get you destroyed.
Kidou: … You could say that never giving up is one of our special moves.
-More like a coercion placed upon people by Endou. XD JK, In a way.
Reize: …What?
Shishido: K-Kidou-san is right! We've never given up, no matter how bad thugs got!
Kurimatsu: We're not afraid of you, aliens!
-Could have fooled me earlier.
Reize: Hm! Weak AND stupid? You continue to amaze me, earthlings.
-I think your hair takes the cake.
Kazemaru: You think we'll just roll over for you? Not a chance! Take thiiiiis!
[CUTSCENE- this is an incredibly lame cutscene… BALL TO THE FACE! This is kind of familiar… Oh, Endou, are you passing out?]
Aki: Endou-kun *drawl this out*! Noooooo!
=Aliea Academy overwhelmed us. Even with Goenji on the team, we couldn't come close to scoring. One by one, the team fell. We could barely move. It was all over. We lost.=
Endou: No… This can't be happening…
Reize: They think it's all over. It is now. Time to say good-bye to all of this.
Idemae: No! You can't!
Ganymede: Out of the way, maggot!
Endou: W-wait… *struggling forward* Ngh… Ugh…
Aki: Endou-kun!
Endou: No… I can't… I just…
Reize: Do it.
[Destroying Kasamino!]
Aaaaahhhh! Stop! Stop, or we'll…
I believe you humans have a nice expression for situations like this. "All bark and no bite."
Stoooooop!
Endou: No… No… Noooooooooooo!
=Grandad… I couldn't do it. I couldn't beat them…=
So Endou passed out…. And apparently, Max, Shorin, Shishido, Kageno, and Handa protected Endou.
Handa: Come on, Endou! We picked up some scrapes and scratches, but nothing that won't heal.
Max: Yeah. And we only got injured because we were out of practice.
-No, REALLY? WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN YELLING AT YOU GUYS ABOUT?!
Shorin: That's right! Let's get straight back to training, Captain! *tries to move* Let's g- Ow! owowow!
Endou: *stops Shorin* Stop it, Shorin. There's no use overdoing it.
Shorin: Sorry, Captain…. I'm just so annoyed with myself. If I pushed myself a little harder, Gemini Storm wouldn't have given us such a thrashing!
Goenji: *turns around* … *leaves*
Endou: I know how you all feel, but for now we have to concentrate on getting match-fit again.
Kageno: Endou…
Endou: Don't worry! We'll get our own back on those aliens, I promise!
[They leave and go out into the hallway]
Goenji: I'm sorry… I just wasn't good enough.
-I will punch you and everyone else who says that. You weren't good enough, yes, but so were the rest of everyone else.
Kazemaru: Did you notice that Aliea didn't even have to use any hissatsus against us? Just imagine how badly we'd have ended up if they'd use their powers to the max.
Endou: If we'd beaten them, we could have stopped Kasamino Junior High from being destroyed. And we wouldn't have ended up beaten black and blue…
Goenji: …
-You're thinking about Yuuka, aren't you? Gosh, you sis-con.
Natsumi: You're absolutely right.
Aki: Natsumi!
Natsumi: But it's not just Kasamino Junior High. Right now, Aliea Academy are in the process of destroying schools all over the country.
-Do they ever sleep?
Endou: …!
Natsumi: Is this really the time to be standing around licking your wounds? You have to get out there and stop Aliea right now. It's your responsibility.
-Of course it is, because it's not the responsibility of the adults or some authority figures who should be dealing with legal criminals, but the responsibility of a team of middle school soccer players.
Natsumi: Or have you forgotten that you're the Football Frontier champions?
-Basically, her reasoning is full of holes and weak. It's kind of funny. Actually, REALLY funny.
Aki: Natsumi…
Endou: … Nggh… …Right! Come on! Let's do thi- Owowow!
Aki: Endou-kun! Now who's overdoing it? You're hurt, just like everyone else.
Endou: But we have to get going!
Hibiki: *appears* Indeed you do…
Endou: Coach Hibiki?
Hibiki: You need to come to the football pitch at Raimon as soon as possible. Souichirou is waiting. *leaves*
-Welp. Said his piece and left.
Natsumi: Father's waiting at the pitch? What could this be about?
Endou: Maybe we're going to start intensive training for our next match against Aliea Academy?
Natsumi: Can't you go ten seconds without thinking about football, Endou-kun?
-Woman, you were just griping about taking responsibility as the FF champions, and now you're telling Endou to not think about soccer? Women, thy name is fickle.
Kazemaru: Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's head to the pitch, Endou.
[Okay- Damn, Goenji, your level is low.]
Endou: Coach Hibiki! Chairman! We…
Hibiki: We know, Endou. It's okay. You weren't ready to face a team like Aliea.
Chairman: No one is. I don't think there's a team out there that could stand up to them.
Natsumi: So what are we going to do, Father?
Chairman: …
Endou: We can't just go home with our tails between our legs!
Chairman: And you won't. There's still a way, It's our only chance… You must gather the very finest footballers, form a stellar team capable of defeating Aliea Academy, and save us all.
Endou: A st-stellar team?
-did he stutter?
Chairman: Students of Raimon! Allow me to show you what I have been working on all this time! My original plan was to use it to protect the world of football from the sinister machinations of Kageyama Reiji. However… I have decided to give it to you. Use it on your joinery to form the team that will save us from Aliea Academy!
Natsumi: "Journey"? Father… What do you mean?
-Were you not listening, Princess?
Chairman: Behold!
[Cutscene- What the hell, it's UNDER THE PITCH. HOLY FUDGING GOSH.]
Chairman: What do you think? It's the newest addition to the team: the Inazuma Caravan. This trusty wagon will take you around the country in your search for the ultimate players!
-And we can fit 100 players, I bet. Somehow. XD
Hibiki: =LOST=
Endou: =FIRST PART LOST= Let's get this show on the road!
Kazemaru: ! Hold on a minute. We're just a bunch of kids. Who's going to drive?
-Kazemaru, we would be bros again if you were instead asking, "WHY DO WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION", but that works, too. You're getting there.
Endou: Good point. The only grown-up on the team is Coach Hibiki, but…
Furukabu: I shall take the wheel! *appears*
Endou: Furukabu-san! Have you recovered?
Furukabu: Yep! I'm still a little achey, but I'm sure I can drive a bus.
Endou: Brilliant! Looks like we're ready to go! Let's hit the road!
-… with 8 members. Um. Endou.
Endou: *looks around* Huh? What's wrong, you lot?
Kabeyama: Captain… I…
Kazemaru: Endou… Aren't we biting off a little more than we can chew here?
-THANK YOU, KAZEMARU. BRO POINTS, UP! .. Well, actually, he didn't say anything else about just being kids and it sounds more like wimping out. But that's okay.
Someoka: Aliea ACademy are light years ahead of anyone we've faced before, even Teikoku Academy and Zeus Junior High.
Endou: What's the matter with all of you? Raimon Junior High have never backed down! Isn't that how we got where we are today? Coach Hibiki, tell them! If we fight together, there's no one we can't…
Hibiki: *turns around and walks* Endou, I have to tell you something. I'm afraid I can't come with you. You'll be going on this journey by yourselves.
-No adult supervision! Yay. JK
Endou: ! What?
Chairman: Aliea Academy are (is) still a mystery to us. We know almost nothing about them. Charging blindly into battle would be foolish.
-Isn't that what we're being made to do?
Chairman: Coach Hibiki will be of more use investigating Aliea under my command, and finding out what he can about them.
Kurimatsu: I can't believe this! Our most fearsome opponents ever, and we won't even have our coach with us?
Kazemaru: B-but if Coach Hibiki isn't coming, who's going to be on the touchline for us?
-Gosh, you kids….
Someoka: He's right. We can put together a good team, but without a coach…
Chairman: …
-!! THEY HAVE VOICES? Oh, no, just a voice acted part.
Hitomiko: *laugh* Pathetic. What are you, little babies who need to have their hands held through everything?
Endou: Huh?!
[Cutscene!!! LOL, DRAMATIC HAIRFLIPPPPP]
Kidou: You're going to be our coach?! Are you serious?!
Hitomiko: Chairman, can we really entrust these children with the future of the planet? I mean, they've already lost to Aliea Academy once. What makes you think they'll do any better next time?
Natsumi: Do you have to be quite so rude?
-She's being upright which may be rude, but is she wrong?
Endou: We're not going to lose again!
-Well, you are, but shhh, you don't know that yet.
Endou: Losing to them has only fired us up more for next time!
Hitomiko: How reassuring. But you're down a few players, aren't you?
Aki: Um, yes. A few of our players are still in the hospital.
Hitomiko: Well, there's not much point in setting off on the bus then, is there? *looks at them* For your first task, I think I'll have you find enough players to make the team up to a full eleven.
Kurimatsu: So that's… Eleven in a football team… Eight of us here… That means we need… One, two…
Haruna: Three players! We'll have to scout out some new recruits, I suppose.
-Thank you, now I know you can count. And because recruiting and scouting will be SO EASY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING OUT TO SAVE THE GOD DAMNED WORLD. GOSH.
Kabeyama: Look at the state of our school, though! Where are we going to find three football players?
-They've clearly forgotten about Domon and Ichinose.
Hitomiko: … *GLARE*
Kabeyama: Wahhh! Don't glare at me like that! What did I say?
Hitomiko: You're useless! FIrst I have to tell you where to go, and now this? Do you need your hands holding through everything?
-While that is true, they are still in middle school and unaccustomed to this. XD
Natsumi: ! So that was you? You range me to tell us how to get into the Kasamino school grounds? And I'm guessing it was you who range my father to tell him about the next Aliea Academy target as well, was it?
Hitomiko: Precisely. And now I'm telling you this: You need to go back to Kasamino Junior High.
Endou: Back to Kasamino?
Hitomiko: The school grounds are a wreck, but none of the students were hurt in the attack.
-Supposedly, most from Raimon weren't hurt either?
Hitomiko: If you're looking for match-fit players who are nursing a grudge against Aliea, that's the place to find them.
-… It's fairly sound logic.
Endou: You're right. I'll bet the kids at Kasamino are itching for revenge.
-On the other hand, revenge is normally never a good motive for retaliation, although it's the most popular.
Hitomiko: Also, Domon Askuma and Ichinose Kazuya should be back from Kidokawa Seishuu soon. Go and meet them at the station and see if they'll join you.
Kazemaru: You know about Domon and Ichinose?
Hitomiko: Naturally. When I catch a team, I make sure I know everything about them.
-I bet Mei would say something similar.
Endou: Gosh!
Kidou: …
-Obviously suspicious of her.
Hitomiko: All right then. You'd best be on your way. Aliea may already be putting the next phase of their plans in motion. We need to be ready for them. *Leaves*
Kurimatsu: Can't argue with that, I suppose…
Someoka: Hmph. Bloomin' bossy boots… Who does she think she is?
-Your new coach?
Goenji: You go on ahead, Endou. I can't go off without saying good-bye to Yuuka.
-Sis-con. Remember the pink teddy bear.
Goenji: This will probably be the last time I see her in a while.
Endou: Yeah, it's a shame to have to leave when she's only just woken up.
-How did you know that? Did Goenji tell you?
Goenji: I know she'll understand. Anyway, I'll catch up with you in a bit.
Endou: Okay, see you later.
[Goenji leaves]
Haruna: *spins!* Right, Captain. Let's go and talk to Domon-kun and Ichinose-kun and scout out Kasamino Junior High for players. Once we've got our new team ready, we'll hit the road!
-Quick to replace fallen members, I see.
Endou: I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Let's go, everyone!
-… are we dying?
Kabeyama: Yeah!
Kurimatsu: Let's do it!
[LET'S GO- Natsumi and her father together.]
Natsumi: What kind of person is Coach Hitomiko, Father? I want to know everything about her if she's going to be taking over the team.
Chairman: Hmm… I don't actually know all that much about her myself. She doesn't talk about herself much.
Natsumi: You don't know much about her? But you're the head of the Junior High School Football Federation! Can we really entrust the team to someone that not even you know anything about?
-If you have an alternative, please give one, lol.
Chairman: She'll be fine. You don't need to worry about her.
Natsumi: But-
-You're just annoyed because she doesn't take your prissy princess crap, Natsumi. XD
Chairman: You're the one I'm worried about, Natsumi. You always try to deal with things on your own… You're going to burn yourself out at this rate. You have to learn to let go when things get too much. Let your friends take care of you for a change.
Natsumi: I can't do that. Making sure everyone is okay is part of my job.
-The job you can't do until you become manager for Little Gigant?
Natsumi: Who knows what Endou-kun and the others would get up to if I left them to their own devices…
-Yeah… you're thinking too highly of yourself, princess.
Chairman: Speaking of Endou… You two will be spending a lot of time together on this trip. Don't you go falling head-over-heels in love with him now, will you?
-TROLOLOLOLOL
Natsumi: ! F-Father! ///
Chairman: Ha ha! I'm only joking, Natsumi. Just… Take care, okay? I'll always worry about you. I can't help it.
Natsumi: I know… Thanks, Father.
[They walk off. NOW THEN, SEARCH FOR PEOPLE!]
To the station~ OH, THERE ARE STILL BATTLES?! Nevermind, Domon! Ichinose!
Domon: Endou!
Ichinose: Endou… It's true, isn't it? Aliea really did beat Raimon.
Endou: … Yes. Yes, they did.
Ichinose: Same at Kidokawa Seishuu. When we got there, the whole place was…
Endou: I see…
Domon: Grah. If only we'd made it in time.
Ichinose: But there's no guarantee we would have won even if we'd gotten there earlier.
Domon: Ichinose!
Ichinose: They're aliens, Domon. From space. I mean, who are Aliea? We don't know the first thing about them.
Domon: Man! How could we let this happen to our friends? How could we let Raimon and Kidokawa Seishuu down? Aliens or no aliens, we failed our friends!
Ichinose: We'll join you, Endou. We have a score to settle with Aliea Academy.
Endou: We all do! It's great to have you both on board!
Domon: Endou, we'll be waiting here. Come and pick us up when you're ready to get going.
To Kasamino!
Idemae: E-Endou! Are you okay?
Endou: Yeah, I'm on the mend. But being beaten by a bunch of aliens hurts more than any bump or bruise… I've come to look for players to help us beat those aliens. Can you think of anyone in the Kasamino Junior High football club who'd be willing to join us?
Idemae: What?! They flatten your school and put you in the hospital, and you're still not giving up?
-Of course not, Endou has suffered far too much brain damage for any coherent thoughts.
Endou: OF course not! We'll never give up, no matter how many times they beat us. It doesn't matter how many games you lose. As long as you have hope, you're always in with a chance.
Idemae: Endou… You're right! Can I join you? I'd rather fight them knowing I might lose than do nothing and regret never having tried. I can't let anything like this happen again.
Endou: Glad to hear it! Come with us. I know we can beat Aliea if we give it our all!
Idemae: Hah! Yeah! We can do it! Okay, Endou. The Kasamino Football club is ready, willing and able! They'll be around here somewhere. Just talk to anyone you want to recruit, and ask them to join you.
Okay, let's go with… whoever. Uh. Yasunaga Hidetsugu.
Yasunaga: I want to conquer adversity and become the footballer I was born to be. You've got to take me with you! (Yes) Cheers, skipper! You won't regret this.
OH, KABEYAMA SCORED A GOAL. Wow, Someoka, how do you carry him on your shoulders like that?
Ichinose: Endou! I want to help make those aliens pay. Let me help you. (YES) Brilliant! We'll form the most powerful football team on the planet and take them on!
That's basically the idea.
Domon: Ready to get going, Endou? Let's show those Aliea freaks what Raimon's all about! (Yes) Excellent! We'll sow them they picked the wrong planet to mess with!
And that's all three!
Aki: Endou-kun, we've got eleven players. Shall we head back to Raimon before we set off?
-… isn't that what we have to do?
Endou: … No. Listen up, everyone! We're about to start out on a long and difficult journey. I want you all to go and say good-bye to your families.
-Something smart. For a change.
Kabeyama: G-Good-bye? You make it sound like we'll never see them again!
Kurimatsu: Don't say things like that!
Endou: Never fear! We'll beat Aliea Academy and be back to celebrate with our loved ones before you know it! But we can't just leave without saying anything. I'd never hear the end of it from my mom.
Aki: You're right. We shouldn't worry our parents.
-That you even would THINK of leaving on a journey without telling your parents… SHAKE HEAD IN SHAME.
Aki: Let's go home and see our families. We'll meet up again when we're done.
Someoka: Bah, okay. But I hate good-byes. They're so awkward. *leaves*
-That's probably because you're awkward.
Kurimatsu: Won't they be a bit shocked when we tell them out of the blue that we're off on a trip around the country? *leaves*
-All the more reason TO tell them.
Kabeyama: Ooh, if we won't be coming home for a while, I better tuck into my secret stash of sweets while I have the chance… *leaves*
Kazemaru: *going to leave, but stops* Aren't you going to go home, Kidou?
Kidou: I'm fine. We Kidous are raised to be ready to drop everything and hit the road at a moment's notice.
-That makes me giggle inside. And Kazemaru leaves.
Aki: Okay, Endou-kun. See you shortly.
Endou: See you! …Right, I'd better head home myself. I need to say good-bye to my mom and dad… And Granddad, of course!
[GOING HOOOME]
Endou: !
E. Mom: Oh, you're back. Hello, Mamoru. I've just finished packing your things for you. I know how much of a mud-magnet you are, so I packed plenty of changes of clothes for you.
Endou: Wait a minute. Mom, how'd you know I was going on a trip?
E. Mom: Give me some credit, Mamoru! I am your mother, you know.
-MOTHERS KNOW THINGS. e-e
E. Dad: When those aliens appeared, we knew you wouldn't be able to sit around doing nothing about it.
-I think this is called bad parenting. Just saying.
E. Mom: Now listen: We don't want to see your face back here until you've taken care of those wicked aliens, okay?
-REALLY BAD PARENTING.
E. Mom: If you give up and run home, I won't even let you in the front door!
Endou: No way! Thanks, Mom! Thanks, Dad! Right, I'm off! See you!
-Normal parents would have a more heartfelt farewell or not let the child go.
Endou: ! …Oh, wait a second. *runs to Granddad shrine* Granddad! I'm going to defeat Aliea Academy. I'm going to do my parrot for the future of the Beautiful Game.
-Again with that?
Endou: Keep an eye on us, won't you?
-Like all the other creeper adults.
Endou: Right then. Bye, everyone! *leaves*
[Fade in, out]
E. Mom: Losing never even crosses his mind, does it?
E. Dad: I knew he'd head off like this someday, but I didn't think it would happen so suddenly.
-Shit happens. That's life.
E. Mom: My dad did his fair share of traveling around the country playing football himself. Mamoru really is just like him… Please, Dad… Help him in whatever way you can.
[TO THE STREETS! People gathering in front of the house.]
Aki: Endou-kun!
Endou: Hi, guys. Did you all say good-bye to your families?
Someoka: Ummm… Yeah.
-Not convinced.
Kurimatsu: I was expecting them to be worried, but not a bit of it! All I got was a pat on the back on my way out the door!
-BAD PARENTING. I think this is called child neglect?
Saku: Hey, you lot! Be sure to teach those aliens a lesson, won't you? No stupid alien is going to get in my brother's way! He's Raimon Junior High's star player!
Kabeyama: Er, yeah. Don't worry! Leave it to me, Saku!
Saku: Go, Nii-chan, go! Go, Nii-chan, go! Yeeeah!
Aki: Hee hee. All right, Endou-kun. Let's get back to Raimon. Goenji-kun is probably back from the hospital by now.
Endou: Okay, then! Let's meet up with Goenji and get this show on the road! Just you wait, Aliea Academy! You started this, but we're going to finish it!
All: Yeeeeeeahhhhh!
-I actually like that line.
[To Raimon! Scene at hospital!]
Goenji: I have to go away for a while, Yuuka.
Yuuka: No…
Goenji: I'm sorry I have to leave you just when you're getting better. But I promise you, I'll be back soon. And when I'm back, I'll be right by your side, watching over you.
-That's creepy.
Goenji: I won't let anything happen to you ever again.
-Overprotective much? This makes for future teenage drama.
Yuuka: Okay… Go and get them, Onii-chan.
Goenji: Thanks, Yuuka. Good-bye.
[PAN TO ALIENS]
ORANGE: As expected, his spirit and mental strength are exceptional. What should we do?
BROWN: Fear not. Everyone can be controlled. You just have to find the the right way… Heh heh heh…
[As Goenji is leaving, they approach?]
Goenji: ! Hey! Who are you?
-BIG BRO SENSES, FLARE!
BROWN: Goenji Shuuya, I presume?
-Don't you dare pull a 'Dr. Livingstone, I presume' reference on me, Mister.
Goenji: Ha-?!
[FADE TO BLACK! Okay, Now we're at Raimon. CHARGE! … Hitomiko, why are you talking to this guy with a mulberry birthmark? UM. SUSPICIOUS.]
MULBERRY: … *leaves*
Endou: Who was that? A friend of yours?
Hitomiko: … Something like that.
-Right, not suspicious at all.
Hitomiko: Never mind my social life (what social life?). Are you ready to set off?
Kabeyama: Well, we're just waiting for Goenji-san.
Endou: ! Aaah!
Kabeyama: Gah! D-don't scare me like that!
Endou: I completely forgot! *runs off*
Aki: Endou-kun! Where are you going?
[And then everyone chases after. Oh, he went to the clubroom]
Kazemaru: What's he doing?
-I don't know, you tell me. Actually, I do know. But humor me.
Endou: …Aha! Got it! *takes plaque*
Aki: What's that?
Natsumi: It's… the sign from our club room.
-No, really.
Kabeyama: Wow. The room is completely wrecked, but the sign seems to have survived.
-OH, MUSIC CHANGED. THIS MUST BE IMPORTANT.
Endou: What Aliea Academy have done is unforgivable. It's against the spirit of football to use the game to inflict pain and destruction.
-Um. Slide tackling, charging, fouls, yellow and red cards, cleats, and then with hissatsus….. are you sure?
Endou: We'll show them what football is really about!
-KICKING THE BALL INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S FACES- I mean-
Kidou: I'm with you, Endou. We'll play them again. And win this time.
-Btw, did Teikoku get destroyed, too? Or was that spared?
Kazemaru: That's just like you, Endou. No matter who the opponent is, you never give up, do you? And I won't give up either!
Aki: That's the spirit! This is the next great challenge for the legendary Raimon Eleven!
Haruna: Let's do it for everyone in the hospital!
Kabeyama: I can hardly believe it… We're going to go up against aliens… I-I-I…
Kurimatsu: Don't tell me you need the loo again.
Kabeyama: No! I'm just excited! I'm ready to do my bit as a member of the mighty Raimon Eleven!
-With all your shaking, I'm not sure you can do much.
Endou: Let's do this!
Someoka: Listen, Endou. These are aliens we're talking about. You're going to have to come up with something a little better than "let's do this". Try a bit harder, will you!
-Hey, hey, don't overtax his brain, Someoka. Endou is a retard. JK, ILU, Endou.
Aki: Hee hee!
Haruna: Ha ha ha!
[ENTER, GOENJI- unhappy Go-kun.]
Goenji: …
Endou: Oh, Goenji. There you are. Did you get a chance to say good-bye to your sister? … What's the matter? You look a bit strange. Is Yuuka all right?
Goenji: It's nothing. I saw Yuuka. I'm ready to go.
-Sure you are. The others leave, and Endou is about to leave! But no, Go-kun and his bro-ness needs him.
Goenji: Wait, Endou. If I end up…
Endou: Hmm?
Goenji: Nothing. Forget it.
[ONWARDS! Back to the pitch.]
Hitomiko: You've gotten your eleven together. Now let's get out of Tokyo and find some more players. Are you all ready?
Endou: Yes, Coach!
Kazemaru: We're the best team in Japan, you know. If we can't beat Aliea Academy, who can?
Hitomiko: Ah, you still have so much to learn. There are some formidable teams who don't compete in the Football Frontier, you know.
Endou: Whaaaaaaaaaat? How can that be?
-Try to wrap your little mind around it, Endou. You have to pay to participate and Kageyama is there.
Hitomiko: Some are from schools with no interest in entering… And others were judged by Kageyama Reiji to be too dangerous to allow into the competition. There are teams like that all over the country.
Kazemaru: Can this be true?!
-… wow.
Hitomiko: It is, I assure you. Don't be so sure that you're the best team in the country. You don't know that for certain.
-This is why we need to go around the world and BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ALL THE OTHER TEAMS, AW YEAH. JK
Endou: *BOUNCING!* Wow! This is brilliant! There are amazing teams out there we didn't even know existed! Let's hit the road and find them!
Chairman: Heh heh…
Hirai: *appears* Bad news, Chairman! Aliea Academy attacked while Prime Minister Zaizen was on an official visit to the city of Nara!
-Really, why would the Prime Minister have a surname of Vanguard if this is Japan? Europe.
Chairman: What? The Prime Minister? Is he all right?
Hirai: W-we don't know! They kidnapped him!
-And the happy music continues to play.
Chairman: What? But why?
-Prime Minister, dude. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
Hibiki: What could they possibly want with the Prime Minister?
-… Really?
Hitomiko: We need to leave right away. There may be useful clues in Nara.
Endou: Okay! Whatever Aliea Academy is up to, it's our job to stop them!
Hibiki: Keep it together, team. I have faith in you. You can beat Aliea.
Endou: Thanks, Coach! We're off to Nara!
Hitomiko: Everyone on the bus.
[BOARDING! Oh, last two are Endou and Kabeyama]
Kabeyama: Um… Um…
Endou: ! Kabeyama, what's up? Toilet time again?
Kabeyama: No… It's just… Alien attacks…. A new coach… It's like the whole world's been turned upside down. I can't even think straight.
Endou: Come on, Kabeyama! There's no point dwelling on things you don't understand. All you need to think about is how we're going to beat Aliea Academy and restore the good name of football!
Kabeyama: Y-yeah. You're right. I'll do my best!
[Run onto the bus!]
Hibiki: Do us proud, Endou!
[PAAN- !!! EEEE, APHRODI! OH GOD. I LOVE YOU. Wait, wait, never mind.]
Aphrodi: So, the Inazuma Eleven are starting out on their journey… We cannot afford to just stand by and watch, can we?
-IDK, can you? Is this a race or contest?
Aprhodi: I wish you the best of luck on your quest to find the mightiest footballers in the land, Endou Mamoru!
-kthxbai
[The insides of this buss is big- ENDOU, SIT STILL]
Aki: Almost time to go.
Endou: A-ah-ah… *FIDGET FIDGET*
Aki: Endou-kun? Are you scared, too?
Endou: Not one bit! I've never been more excited in my life! I mean, come on! The best players in the country are out there waiting for us! I can't wait to see them in action!
Aki: He he he he he!
Natsumi: How can you be excited at a time like this.
-Brain damage, Natsumi. And you're being a prick.
Someoka: Ha! Typical you, Endou.
Kidou: That's why he's our captain.
-…. I feel like your lines should switch, Someoka, Kidou. Just a little.
Haruna: Okay, we're off!
All: *singing* Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
-Do I need to make a comment on this?
Goenji: -sigh-
-He doth sigh.
Haruna: Cheer up, Goenji-san! It might never happen!
Hitomiko: -sigh-
-It's the latest trend, sighing is. Let's all sigh together now.
[Inazuma Caravan, awwaaaay! Cutscene! ENDOU, PUT YOUR HEAD BACK INTO THE DAMN BUS! Oh, they ended the chapter like the end of an episode and put in a commercial-esque screen. Nice.]
++++
=A few hours before Endou and the team set off for Nara…=
You join us life at the grand unveiling of Nara's new giant deer monument!
-Deer.
The ceremony is about to get underway, and the sense of excitement is palpable… Prime Minister Zaizen and US President Cain Cooper are just about to cut the ribbon!
-Why is the US president here again?
Zaizen: President Cooper, our entire nation is honored that you could attend today.
Cooper: No need to be so formal, Mr. Prime Minister. I hope to see you back stateside for some of our fine home-cooked soccer very soon!
-…………………………… what.
Zaizen: Uh, of course. Now then, shall we…?
[Crash. This is becoming a trend.]
…Huh?! What was that noise?
! What on earth was that?
-Again with the earths. SOCCER BALLS FROM THE SKY DESTROY DEER. WILD LIFE, AT ARMS!
Zaizen: Wh-what?! What's going on?! *notice destroyed statue* …No!
[Another crash, dust cloud, and Zaizen is gone. Yep, just another day in Nara.]
Cooper: What the heck is going on here?!
Oh no! The Statue!
-Um, Prime Minister.
L-Ladies and gentlemen! Do not adjust your sets! The long-awaited giant deer monument has been reduced to rubble!
-UM, PRIME MINISTER.
Cooper: This is terrible! ! *looks around* P-Prime Minister…? Mr. Zaizen?
-Thank you.
This just in: disaster has struck! The Prime Minister is missing!
-Thank you.
Touko: ! …No!
The unthinkable has happened… The Prime Minister seems to have vanished into thin air!
-Because none of you saw the dust cloud, I am certain.
Just what has happened here today? A nation demands answers…
-Um, reporter. You don't speak for the entire country.
