Ren:Oh dear....my sister is back....

Gouenji felt his jaw dropping. If he didn't have a skull, his whole face would be sprawled about on the floor. Wait, scratch that. If he didn't have a skull it meant he didn't have a skeleton so he'd just be a piece of meatless skin. This sudden thought reminded him of the bear carpet in his grandfather's study.

Nevertheless, he was snapped out of his thoughts when he remembered this person in front of him. He felt scared, angry even. His teeth clenched and he gripped his fists - standing in a stance that made it appear like he was ready for a fight. His eyes narrowed sharply at the other person in front of him.

Gouenji Shuuya glared at Gouenji Shuuya.

"Who are you?" Gouenji hissed. He took note of his twin's (?) Raimon school uniform that was exactly like his own uniform - only black and red in colour. His other self had his eyes closed and arms crossed in a calm manner - much different than original Gouenji's posture.

"The answer is obvious, is it not?" his twin replied. Gouenji stepped back. He lowered his still-clenched fists. He resorted to a frown on his face instead. "Are you saying that... you're... me?" his voice unsure; his mind a confused mess. The impossible had become the possible. That; or he had just lost his sanity.

"And vice versa," the other one replied. He opened his eyes and Gouenji found them to be red in colour instead of brown like his. The other Gouenji stood straight from leaning against the wall. "I would explain it to you more clearly, if I didn't have something much more important to do,"

Gouenji was silent. He didn't really know what to do at this point. Believe this was all real, or he had taken a deep turn from dreamland into crazyland. Dark Gouenji smiled a little - that was actually unexpected - and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry for coming so suddenly, this must be so weird and hard for you to believe," he apologized. Okay, maybe calling him Dark Gouenji wasn't really a good thing. But then, he was the darker side of himself. Or looked like the darker side of him.

"What... What do you want?" Gouenji asked, feeling a little lightheaded all of a sudden.

"I want to see your Endou - the Endou Mamoru of this world; this universe." Dark Gouenji said bluntly. His arms were crossed again. Gouenji's own eyes widened. 'This world?' what did his other self meant by that? "You mean..."

"I'm a parallel Gouenji Shuuya. I travelled through space from my universe to yours." Dark Gouenji said with a smile. "I knew you'd catch on sooner or later without an explanation, unlike that soccer club Captain..." he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I dare say he himself doesn't understand it even though the parallel Endou gave him a thorough explanation,"

"Parallel Endou?"

"Yes... I really need to speak to the Endou of this world, if you don't mind,"

"For what reason?"

"That... will be explained later,"

Gouenji stared at his twin. His furrowed eyebrows returned to normal. He sighed, defeated. The other one didn't pose any threat so far. He had no choice but to take him to Endou then. Maybe Kidou had found the captain by now anyway. "But you'll have to stay here. I'll bring Endou up here. If people see you, I can't even imagine the chaos that'll happen," Gouenji warned. The darker Gouenji nodded his head, understanding.

And at that, Gouenji left the rooftop - never to be the same ever again.

Endou ran down the hallways in panic, Kidou following closely behind. "Endou!" the strategist continuously shouted. "What's going on?!" he tried to get an explanation from the goalkeeper, who ignored him and just ran and ran.
