Fighting All-Girls Team!
After winning the second match against Nosei, Raimon gets more excited since they now in the semi-finals. But Homura are unable to play in the next match because of her right feet.
At the riverbank field...
Kaminari is practicing all by himself while thinking about their next opponent in the prelim.
Kaminari(In mind): We won against Tengawara and Nosei. Two more win and we'll head to the National tournament of the Soccer Festival.
Then he put down the soccer ball on the ground. He take out his phone and look at the Kanto district prelim A-Block matches to see which team are advancing.
Kaminari: It's look that Raimon will fight between Occult Jr. High or either St. Sakura Academy, huh?
Unlike other schools, St. Sakura Academy is only-girl school. Also, Nami attending in the school and in the school's soccer team.
Kaminari: I'm hoping Occult Jr. High won the match... I don't want to have trouble against girls, especially Nami. I'm sure that everyone might holding back.
Then he check the B-Block prelim matches. It makes him smile when he saw the familiar school that Raimon fought before.
Kaminari: So Teikoku and Kaiou reach the semi-final, huh? *smirk* If Kaiou win, the final for us might be a revenge match for them. But Teikoku's winning rate is even higher.
After checking his phone, he put back it into his jacket. Then he pick the soccer ball and went home. While he walking away, he heard footsteps. When he turn around, he saw Nami in St. Sakura tracksuit. Their tracksuit mostly color white and pink.
Kaminari: Oh, Nami.
Nami: H-Hey, Nii-chan...
Kaminari: Just come home from training?
Nami: Yes. Even thought, we didn't really train that much but we'll be fighting with Occult Jr. High tomorrow.
Kaminari: I see. Sorry, but I can't go and watch because we have to train.
Nami: Oh... Nii-chan, there's something I wanted to ask. I only ask this one favor!
Kaminari: Of course, what kind of favor was it?
Nami: If we St. Sakura win and reach the semi-final... Can your team please...
(Next Day)
At Raimon's soccer clubroom...
The whole team are watching the match between Occult and St. Sakura with the huge television. They in their Raimon soccer jersey while Homura wear tracksuit. Kaminari watch the match with some tense in his heart, thinking about what Nami said before.
"Occult Jr. High versus St. Sakura Academy. Which of this time will win this match? Currently, St. Sakura is in the lead by 1-0."
It shows three forwards from St. Sakura are heading toward Occult's defense area. When they near the defense area, two forwards perform a combo hissatsu shoot and scores.
"Goal!! St. Sakura scores another goal in this match! They easily get through and scores the second goal for their team!"
The whistle sounds are heard. Occult players felt really down while others fall to their knees because of the lose.
"That's the end of the match! The winner is St. Sakura Academy! They completely win the match with the score of 2-0. They are final team that reach semi-final. In A-Block, Raimon versus St. Sakura while in B-Block, Teikoku versus Kaiou. Two of these four teams will advance to the final round!"
Ren: No way... We'll be fighting against only-girl's team.
Asuma: I don't want to play hard. It might make us look bad if we went to serious on them.
Yuuya: Just because they're girls that doesn't mean we don't play seriously.
Higashi: But aren't St. Sakura is...
He look at Kaminari who is standing while lean his back at the locker while still looking at the television, St. Sakura team are celeberating their victory.
Higashi: Kaminari, aren't Nami-chan is attending in that school and in the team as well?
Kaminari: Yeah. So what's with that?
Higashi: Well...
Kaminari: Whatever. *look away* I'll be practicing now. *turn to Homura* Homura, make sure you get some rest. You can walk normally now, but don't push yourself until your right feet completely heal.
Homura: Right.
Then he walk out of the clubroom while clenching his fists.
Asuma: Captain looks desperate...
Gento: Who doesn't look desperate with this. We'll be fighting against an all girl team while we only all boy because Gouenji is still hurt.
Higashi: How will be up against that kind of team?
Yuuya: You said like you're gonna let them win. Just like how Occult Jr. High fight with them.
Higashi: Eh?
Yuuya: When I watched the match, I saw something really fishy. It's true that their shoot power isn't really good while their teamwork doesn't seem good as well, but it seems that Occult Jr. High is holding back.
Gento: Then what should we do? *look at Shun* Hold back or play seriously?
Shun: Don't ask me.
Shin: Me too, I don't know what to do. Girls can be troublesome at some point, except for Homura who is a true excellent player.
Homura: Don't insult and praise me at the same time!
Ren: Then what should we do, Coach Tenma?
Tenma: What you must do now is to train. There's no reason for us to hold back.
Enji: Then what about Captain?
Tenma: If about him, he might hold back for a reason.
Gento: Huh? That serious and tough looking captain would do that?
Yuuya: *glance at everyone* If you guys don't know, Kaminari's litte sister, Endou Nami, is attending in St. Sakura and play in their soccer team.
It makes them suprised. Tenma already know since Kaminari told him before while Yuuya and Higashi already know a long time ago when they just enter second year.
Ren: So this match might going to be a bit personal to Captain, huh?
Homura: I hope he doesn't change his mind in playing seriously. Captain isn't a type that won't held back easily.
Tenma: Now, let's discuss about the formation and tactics that we will use against St. Sakura in the semi-final match.
Enji: Wait, Coach. What about Captain? Should we call him before we can discuss all together?
Tenma: There's no need. Let's just give Kaminari some time to think about the match.
While they are discussing the plan for the next match, Kaminari train by himself outside. He kicking the ball up with his knees while balancing it. Then he look at the goalpost and kick the ball right into the goal but it even more powerful. It shows a bit of burn marks at the net when the ball hits it. The ball roll slowly out of the goalpost while Kaminari clench his fists even harder.
(Flashback)
After hearing what Nami just said, Kaminari was suprised.
Kaminari: What did you say, Nami?
Nami: If St. Sakura reach the semi-final, please let us win.
Kamimari: What are you talking about?
Nami: St. Sakura is not really good in soccer. Our teamwork are not so good because everyone keep thinking wanting to be the number one by themselves instead of together with everyone else. Our Captain tried so much to convince but we only reach a temporary truce. That is why--
Kaminari: That is why you wanted Raimon to lose in purpose, right?
Nami: Th-That's not what I meant!
Kaminari: If it's not so what?
Nami: I-It's...
Kaminari: Nami, do you want my team to lost? Do you know that would make that your victory is a lie?
Nami: B-But...
Kaminari: That's enough.
Nami: Huh?
She saw that Kaminari's face is covered with his hair and shadow. As he look up, she know that her brother is angry about it. Lying in a real match is not something can be take lightly.
Kaminari: I'll think about it. For now, don't think about bothering me at all.
Then he walk away.
Nami: N-Nii-chan!
But her call was ignored. Kaminari keep walking while clench his right fist and grit his teeth.
(Flashback End)
The ball keep rolling slowly until it stop when hit Kaminari's leg. He keep looking down while grit his teeth and then he kick the ball harder. Homura and Ren saw Kaminari seemed to be really angry right now.
Homura: Hey, is Senpai really angry right now?
Ren: I don't know. I think it's better for us not to talk with him for a while.
Homura: Let's tell this to others so they don't have to bother Senpai when he's like this.
Ren: Yeah. I'm sure that Captain will calm down later.
Then they left to the clubroom. Kaminari continue to practice on his own while trying to forget about the anger.
(Time Skip)
(Evening)
At Rairaiken...
Instead of with his friends, Kaminari went there alone this time. He just keep looking at the ramen he order without even take a bite of it.
Tobitaka: What's wrong? You seemed down all the sudden.
Kaminari: Huh?
He look up and saw Tobitaka.
Kaminari: Tobitaka-san...
Tobitaka: You better eat that ramen or it won't be good when it's cold.
Kaminari: I know that... Just have stuff in my head right now.
Then he slowly eat the ramen. Even thought it's delicious, he still have that unsure face.
Tobitaka: Is it has something to do with soccer?
Kaminari: Somehow...
Tobitaka: Is it about the match in the semi-final?
Kaminari: Yeah... We except that we might fought Occult Jr. High, but St. Sakura won the match. With Homura still injured, it's all-boy versus all-girl.
Tobitaka: Aren't that can be an easy match you guys?
Kaminari: But the all-girl team is the problem. We're not sure about if we should play seriously or holding back. Especially, Nami is in that team.
Tobitaka: Your sister, huh? It's true that going to be hard, but you remember one thing.
Kaminari: What? Woah!
As he look up, Tobitaka put at Kaminari with a soup scoop.
Tobitaka: Don't bring lies to a fight. If you did, you'll regret it.
Kaminari: Don't bring lies to a fight... huh?
Meanwhile...
At the Inazuma Tower hill...
At the hill, Tenma is watching the sunset by himself. He remember the time when he was kid, he bring some of his friends here to watch the sunset. While watching the scene, he heard footsteps.
???: Watching sunset by yourself, Captain?
As Tenma turn around he saw Nozaki Sakura, his teammate in Inazuma Japan and Earth/Galaxy Eleven.
(A/N: In the Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy, during on Earth they were called Inazuma Japan, and in the Grand Celesta Galaxy, a cosmic soccer tournament, they were called Earth Eleven and in the final against Ixal Fleet they stated as Galaxy Eleven)
Tenma: Sakura!
Sakura's appearance still the same except with longer hair. She's wearing pink shirt with black highlights, grey shorts and pink shoes. She is a person cared for herself at first, until she learn how to work together with the team without being selfish.
Sakura: It's been a long time, right?
Tenma: Yeah.
Then Sakura stand next to Tenma and watch the sunset as well.
Tenma: Time flows really fast...
Sakura: I still remember when we become the best team in the universe. I never forget about it, though.
Tenma: How is the others?
Sakura: I didn't meet all of them, but I did meet with Konoha-chan and Manabe. Konoha-chan is helping as a part-timer at a zoo while Manade become a teacher at a school outside country.
Tenma: I see. Actually, I heard Minaho has become a detective and work outside country as well. Tetsukado done with rehab and went to a national boxing tournament, Ibuki become a coach for the national basketball team, Zanakurou perform kabuki all of the country in his journey. Everyone has went to their path, huh? I kinda miss the time when we all in a team.
Sakura: Me too. I remember that I was so selfish and think about myself.
Tenma: Well, you told us because you were pressured by your parents. But now they really proud of you when you went to the international rytham gymnasthic tournament.
Sakura: Thanks, Captain.
Tenma: Just call me Tenma, we're not in the soccer team anymore.
Sakura: Sorry, it's a habit. Even thought it's long time ago.
Tenma: Sakura, I've heard that you are participating in the national tournament. What are you doing here?
Sakura: Actually, when I heard there's an all-girl soccer is in a brink of collapse, I decided to come to see it. I never expect that it worst than I heard.
Tenma: You mean the St. Sakura Academy soccer team, right?
Sakura: That's right. Some of them made the same mistake I did when I was their age. I wanted to save them before they regret about everything.
Tenma: I see. So you mean that you're become their coach?
Sakura: *nod* Yes. I become coach, and they able to trust each other a bit when it about winning. In the semi-final, our team will be up against your team...
Tenma: St. Sakura, huh? That's fitting for you. "St. Sakura" for Sakura, right?
Sakura: *giggle* I think so, too.
Tenma: Which will win? My team, Raimon, or your team, St. Sakura?
Sakura: Well, let's see how our team's perform in the day of the match. Let's have a good match, Captain.
Tenma: Yeah. There's no way my team would lose easily!
Sakura: My team, too!
Both of them laugh are they words. There will be another clash between friends as coach. The day of the match will decide which of the two teams will went to the final round of the Kanto district prelim and will be up against the winner of B-Block.
(Time Skip)
At Endou's House...
Kaminari is lying on his bed while thinking about all situation and the match in the semi-final. He always said that he wanted to make Nami happy, but he also has reason not to lose.
Kaminari(In mind): What should I do? Losing on purpose is lying in a fight, but I need to think about the others as well.
While looking at the ceiling, he turn his look at the picture in the frame on the table. It was another copy when Endou was in the FFI when he was Kaminari's age.
Kaminari: I still mad at you, but...
He stand up and went to the table as he pick up the frame.
Kaminari: Dad, should I do?
Then he put back the frame on the table and went to the window. He look outside, up to see the stars.
Kaminari: I'll talk to coach about what to do. I hope that it will make Nami's team realize what is right.
(Time Skip)
The Day of the Match...
Raimon arrived at the stadium. Unlike other stadium, St. Sakura Academy's stadium seems to be quite weird, especially for boys. The stadium is most normal color and the stands are the same, around the field fill with flowers. And the field is colored light pink and purple.
Ren: *sweatdrop* Hey, hey, what is this place?
Enji: Paradise for girls, I think...
Homura: I feel like I was gonna throw up...
She put her left hand at her mouth because she felt uneasy when there's so many girly stuff in this school. She didn't like girly stuff that much. Homura wear the Raimon tracksuit because she won't be playing in this match.
Riko: I think this all is kinda cute.
Asuka: Yeah.
Kaminari: We're here to win this match, that's all.
Gento: Captain's right. We're here only to win.
As they went to their benches, they doing some warming up as three players of St. Sakura, Himoko, Sera and Yue.
Himoko: So this Raimon Eleven, huh? They doesn't look that much.
Sera: Yeah, this would be a piece of cake match just like how we beat Eito and Occult.
Yue: Sorry, but after this pack your stuff because we'll be the one that will advance to the finals.
Ren: What?!
Shin: Are you picking a fight?!
Asuma: We're better than we look!
Sera: Oh, I see. Then why would you guys let Tengawara and Nosei score the one goal? If you guys are better, why would you guys so lame~?
Ren: You...!
Yuuya: Enough!
They look behind and saw Yuuya walk toward them. Then he stopped between the boys and girls.
Yuuya: Save your energy for the game, this is unnessessary.
Ren: But Minamisawa-senpai!
Yuuya: I say this as your teammate. Kaminari also told you guys not to start a fight.
Yue: My, my, it's look like your senior just get mad of you.
???: That's enough, you girls.
The girls turn around and saw their goalkeeper and captain, Yua Risa. She has long blond hair and pink eyes, and wearing St. Sakura goalkeeper jersey. Nami also with her.
Risa: Don't insult the opponent before the match. Get back to warm up, Coach's orders.
Himoko: Fine, Captain. *glance at Raimon players* See you boys~.
Sera and Yue blow a kiss mockingly makes Ren and Shin blush a little. After they left, Risa and Nami look back at Raimon.
Risa: I'm sorry for my teammates attitube. They have been like this every since we reach this far.
Nami: Yuuya-san, I'm so sorry.
Yuuya: It's fine, my teammates almost say something bad as well.
Risa: We know that you guys have a Keshin user in your team. I'm a Keshin user as well.
Yuuya: You too? Why would you told us that kind of stuff? Usually people would stay quiet about it.
Risa: I want to fight with you guys in an equal terms. Also, this would be my last time in Soccer Festival.
Yuuya: So you're a third year?
Risa: Yes. Oh?
She take glance behind them and saw Shinji. When he felt something, he quickly turn around and saw Risa.
Risa: Hi, Shinji-kun!
Shinji felt shiver and then look away to hide his blush.
Risa: *giggle* Shy as always.
Ren: You know Amemiya-senpai?
Risa: Actually, I was in Raimon Jr. High in the first year. But I get transferred here in second year, that is why you guys don't know me. Kazuma-kun and Tasuke-kun don't know much about me, anyway.
Yuuya: I see.
Nami: Um, Yuuya-san. Is Nii-chan okay?
Yuuya: No idea. But we didn't talk much with him if he's like that.
Risa: We'll be off now.
Nami: Let's have a good match.
They left toward their team. Then Sakura called them to speak about what plan they will use. Tenma call his team to talk about their plan as but there is something unexpected. Then both teams went to the field.
"Welcome to the first semi-final match of the Kanto district A-Block prelim. Raimon Jr. High versus St. Sakura Academy. This is the will an exciting match because which of this school that will went to finals, will it be Raimon, or St. Sakura? I, Kakuma Jiro, will be the commentor."
All players from both teams went to their position. But there's something was off.
"Both team have went to their position. As always, St. Sakura use their usually formation. For Raimon... Wait! What is this?!"
It shows that Yuuya is alone in the front as a forward while Kaminari was in the back with the defenders.
"Raimon's captain Endou Kaminari is at the back with the defenders while Minamisawa is forward by himself! Their ace striker isn't at his normal position! What kind of plan does Raimon have?!"
Sera: What is this?
Yue: Is that supposed to intimedate us?
Himoko: Just because they have their captain in the back doesn't mean they is better in defense.
Nami(In mind): Nii-chan...
Risa: You guys, let's win this match and reach the finals!
St. Sakura Players: Yeah!
The referee blow the whistle, starting the match.
"St. Sakura start the kick-off, and the match begin!"
Yue pass the ball to Sera and she receive it. As they went ahead to Raimon's field, Minamisawa just stand there doing nothing as they get pass him.
Himoko: What?
"St. Sakura just easily get pass Minamisawa. Why is he doing nothing?"
Yue: I'm sure they give up already!
Sera: This is match will be a piece of cake!
They get pass the midfielders that just doing nothing as Himoko and Nami follow them.
"Raimon is doing nothing. They didn't even tried to steal the ball. What is going on here? Does Raimon has give up?"
Yue: I hate this, but we'll use that one.
Sera: Sure.
They get close to the defense Raimon's area. Yue and Sera hold hands and the ball at their feet as it covered with color energy.
Yue/Sera: Butterfly Dream!
They kick together and it head toward Raimon's goalpost. Higashi's right fist covered with green energy as he pull back and punch forward.
Higashi: Metal Hand Punch!
He punch but the ball suddenly dodge his hand and went to the other side. Before it can get into the goalpost, Kaminari appear and stop the ball with his right leg and kick it away.
Sera: What?!
Yue: No way!
"Endou Kaminari make quick action and stop the hissatsu shoot from entering the goal! That's an excellent reaction!"
The ball fall on the ground as Kaminari kick the ball away to Suiryuu.
Kaminari: Let us show you.
It makes Sera and Yue look at him.
Kaminari: *smirk* How we Raimon play soccer against girls like you.
Sera and Yue grit their teeth as Suiryuu pass the ball to Yuuya. Instead of attacking, Yuuya play with the ball and then back pass. They keep passing to each other as St. Sakura are struggling to keep up.
Preview...
"The fight between Raimon and St. Sakura has begun. But for some reason Raimon just passing to each other instead of attacking. St. Sakura are doing their best to win this match. Will Raimon counterattack?"
"Next time, It's Time! Raimon Move Up!!"
"This is super-dimensional soccer!"
