We won, we finally did it! I turned around and saw Gemini Storm staring at us, clearly disappointed. But when I observed better, they weren't only sad, but had an empty look on their faces, maybe ever scared. Janus was wearing a numb expression. 'Well I guess that was it guys,' he mumbled. Then he started to shake and pant. this was way too familiar, unfortunately I knew exactly what was happening. I walked towards him. 'Are you okay?' He looked up. 'What do you think? You don't know how important this was, we will be send away!' His knees were trembling. Something weird was going on. His whole body was tensed up and right before he fell on the ground, I caught him. He leaned against me, not being able to stand by himself. 'I-I can't anymore,' he whispered. I nodded. 'walk with me to the side, I think I know what's going on.' He shook his head. 'They hate me,' he mumbled while glancing at my team that seemed rather surprised by my actions. 'Hating is a bit dramatic, but don't worry.' The closer we got to the bench, the less he could walk. 'Jeez you are heavier then you look.'' He hummed. 'That's because of my amazing alien muscles,' he muttered. I raised my brow. 'Sure.' As soon as I placed him on the seat, he fell backwards.

'Rhona, what are you doing?' Sylvia asked worried. 'Yes, he's an alien,' Kevin said, angry as ever. 'An alien who needs help.' Mark made a way between the players. 'That's right! And as long as we live, we will always help other players!' I touched Janus his forehead, that was burning. 'Are you having a fever?' Janus shook his head, and then curled up. He started to gasp and rocking. 'What are you doing?' I got no reaction. 'Try to breath steady, forget everything around you,' I whispered, now a bit worried. It became silent. Then he sighed and got his smug expression back. 'Well that's over.' I looked confused at Sylvia, but she shrugged. Whatever happened there wasn't something you could end with a 'Well that's over'. 'What the hell is going on?' He shook his head. 'I just thought about a thing that will happen any minute.' I observed the other Alius academy players again. They were terrified, but why?

There was a noise in the background that I didn't recognize. 'Diam no!' I heard a bang. Janus was laying in front of us, unconscious and with the black ball next to his chest. 'Janus?' He didn't answer. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. His breath was unstable and he squealed. I tried to make him sit, and noticed he had opened his eyes. 'Dvalin is that you?' he mumbled. Relieved I shook my head. 'No I'm not Dvalin.' He sighed and had to cough again, but this time there was blood as well. Of course, he got hit in the lungs. It dripped down his face to his chin, and then on his tenue. Why wasn't his team coming to help him? 'Celia, can you give me some tissues?' I dried his face. 'How cute, taking care of the enemy,' he muttered. I raised my brow. 'I will take that as a compliment.' His eyes were shut again, Fantastic. There was another thing that bothered me. Who was Dvalin?

Willy, Nathan and Kevin helped me drag Janus inside and put him on Willy his bed. 'Why does it have to be miiiiine.' I sighed 'Because your room is downstairs, you idiot,' Kevin grunted. 'Now what exactly happened?' I asked, not knowing how he got unconscious. 'Diam, he wanted to shot the black ball to you, and then he was there, out of nowhere,' Nathan mumbled. 'But why did he do it?' Kevin asked. Mark, who just entered the building and overheard us, wiggled his eyebrows. 'Let's find out.'

Ten minutes later the team was gathered in one of Elphine classrooms. Mark got a crayon and drew a stickman. 'Okay, this is Diam.' Oh, I knew where this was heading. 'This is Janus,' he said and drew a guy with a cross as eyes and a circle laying next to him, probably a ball. 'Aaaand here is...' An oval with a bun was created between the two guys. 'Rhona!' I frowned. 'Well that isn't very reali-'

'Now we will collect the facts.' Willy ran out of the room and came back with his Sherlock coat. 'I am totally ready!' And while everyone including me was facepalming, Celia wrote down some stuff. 'Well, after Rhona helped him when the incident happened. The aliens were depressed because they failed and Diam wanted to get rid of his frustration.' Willy his eyes began to shine. 'So the conclusion is that Janus wanted to protect her from his teammates as a thank you! But then again, what happened to him?' Todd read the list and then observed the board. 'Maybe he has epilepsy, but then he wouldn't be conci- Wait, I saw this before.' He glared at me, and soon the team followed. 'It-it was a panic attack wasn't it,' Kevin mumbled. 'How do you know that?' Shawn asked. I tried to give him a smile. 'That's a story for another time.' I thought about the situation for a while. 'But losing a game isn't that bad, there has to be something behind it.' Now Nathan took the crayon and wrote panic attack by Janus. Mark got a magnifying glass out of his pocket, don't ask me why he had it. 'Time to examine the victim.'

One by one we planned to sneak into his room, but of course that didn't happen. Apart from Shawn and Jude we all fell through the door, and I was pretty sure I was laying on Tori. 'Get of me, your boobs are suffocating me,' she hissed. 'Bobbie is on top of me, I can't.' After five minutes we were standing again, without making any noise. The alien was sleeping peacefully, and it was weird to see him without his madness and pride. Mark got his magnifying glass and observed his face with it. 'Clear,' he mumbled. I noticed Willy poking with a little stick in Janus his mouth. 'What are you doing,' I whispered. 'Dna.' I nodded. 'Clever Wills.' He straigthened his glasses. 'How many times did I ask you to-' I heard the blankets move and we all gasped. It was false alarm, he just turned around. 'Ehm guys,' Nathan mumbled and pointed at janus his back. His shirt was pulled up by the move he made, and bruises were shown. And I don't mean some blue spots, but everything was covered in red, blue, purple and abrasions. 'Who did this to him?'

We all went back to the classroom and Mark got his crayon again. 'With this evidence we all can assume that someone even meaner than him, has caused these wounds and probably the panic attacks. If that's the truth then other aliens are out there.' I thought about it for a moment, it was just like I predicted in our last meeting. Then something occured to me. 'In that case, will others come as well? Destroying schools and playing soccer?' The mood dropped immediatly. 'Something happened when you brought Janus inside. A team called Epsilon send Gemini Storm away, claiming that they were the top of Alius.' Oh no. 'It doesn't matter,' Mark reassured. 'With our determination we'll always win.' Then he looked up to the bord. 'But for now our case is closed.'
