The greenhaired alien - Inazuma Eleven

04

We were in a bus heading to Hokkaido. They apparently have an amazing player there. He was supposed to help us win from the disgusting balls of space vomit. Yep, I still found them awful. But when we walked into the van, we saw the unthinkable.

'Hello everyone.' As soon as I saw the boy, I spit out my drink. 'Aphrodi,' Mark stated, not very happy. Kevin wasn't too excited as well, and his grumbling made that clear. The blonde just sat on the back seat with a grin. 'I've come to support you.' His annoying face and voice gave me headaches. 

'What?' Todd shouted shocked. 'Coach, what is this nonsense?' I asked. 'I have nothing to do with this.' The god of love stood up. 'You know, after we played against you, we finally realized that our way of playing football was wrong,' he told Mark. He sounded sincere, but maybe he was just a good actor. 'Please, let me help you!'

'Okay.' As usual, Mark trusted him with his kind and forgiving personality, though during the match against Zeus he swore to never forgive them. Not everyone agreed with this decision, especially Kevin and Todd, but they eventually gave in. For the rest of the trip, Aphrodi was surprisingly quiet. It was all so weird. What was even the use of bringing him with us anyway?

In the last two days, my nose healed, and I was happy about it, but we had been driving for hours and I got a bit cranky. 'Nathan. Nathanathanathan,' I whispered while poking him with my finger. He turned around, slightly annoyed. 

'What?' I pointed at Willy, who was sleeping and snoring like a pig. He even drooled. I showed the Blue haired boy a marker. 'Ah, I see where this is going.' He smirked. 'Mark, Jack,' he whispered, and the boy pointed at the black thing in my hand. They gasped in unison. 'That's an amazi-'

'shhh."

We all stared at Willy, who almost drowned in his own saliva. 'I'm gonna need a tissue.'

'Okay,' Mark said soft, not wanting to wake him up. 'Who's gonna dry his face?' We all looked at each other. No way I was going to do this. 'Rock Paper Scissors?' They all nodded. Luckily it was between Mark and Jack. Poor Mark lost and took the wipe with tears in his eyes.

'If I don't survive, please remember that I did this for the team. I will complete this mission, no matter what! If I have to drown for my friends, I will drown, in Willy his saliva. Now, as everyone knows, I and my friends became champions of Japan. I want the world to remember me as a caring keeper, protector of the goal, and-' Jack sighed. 

'Captain, please shut up and wipe his face.' Jack was never really the type to scold, but I agreed. 'Because I really want to see this.' Mark nodded determinedly. 'You're right Jackie, here we go.'

'I'm thinking of an Italian mustache.'

'We could give him a third eye and let him be arrested for being an alien.'

'A beard.'

'nostril hair.'

'All of it.' I agreed with Nathan. 'Let's do this.'

Apparently, I fell asleep, because suddenly there was a grey-haired guy on the bus, and a bear shaking it. This was our team's second nearly-death experience. At least if you count the collapse of our school as attempted murders. The boy went outside, killed the bear, and came back. "Let's continue the journey," he dryly said. Were we really going to let this weirdo drive with us? 

'Wooooow, how did you do that?' Mark shouted. The others were impressed as well, including me. How can one man kill a bear that big? 'I don't understand,' Jude began, 'So much power is impossible for one person to have.' He smiled modestly. 'It was a pleasure to help.' I shook my head. What an interesting guy. So strong yet nice. I turned around to see Aphrodi stare at the snowy hitchhiker.

Oh.
