The greenhaired alien - Inazuma Eleven

What happened in New Sealand is awful 😔
So let's all pray for Christchurch (even though I'm not religious)!

--------------------------

I woke up due the sun, and was about to fall asleep again until I realized I had guests. I sneaked downstairs to find Aphrodi laying on an airbed, and Jordan sleeping on the couch. His lips were slightly apart, and he laid curled up. It was incredibly cute. I decided to leave a note and buy some bagels, since we were out of food.

When I was about to get in line, a boy was standing in front of me. Well from behind, but there is only one person with that length and dark blue hair. It had to be- 'Hello there.' Austin turned around. 'Hey little boy! Long time no see!' He sighed. 'Don't call me that,' he whined, 'I'm almost as tall as you.' I raised my eyebrow. 'Yet you're two years younger.' My cousin smiled. 'You're in every newspaper. Tell me, are you really in a relationship with Janus?' I shook my head. 'It's Jordan. And that is a very inappropiate question, but the answer is no.' Austin giggled. 'And why is that god with the team, he doesn't even play. And-' It was his turn to order. 'Raimon field, 2 pm?' I nodded. 'I can't wait to see them play!' I raised an eyebrow. Who said anything about playing?

'Morning.' Jordan sat on a chair at the diner table reading a newspaper, and Aphrodi was combing his hair. 'You have become famous, look.' He pointed at the front page, and what I saw was absolutely terrifying. 'A second strategist? DiLauris brought the team to victory.' I read. There was a huge picture of Nathan and Jude making the shot, and a second one of me with Maleficent. 'Nooooooooooooo, where are the other members?' Jordan chuckled. 'Now you're reminding me of your captain. Mike, wasn't it?'

'Mark.'

'Are you sure?'

'Positive. Oh, I bumped into someone at the bakery. Are you familiar with Austin Hobbes? He's in the national junior team.' Both the boys shook their head. 'I told him we'd meet him at school. 'School? but it's a mess there,' Jordan commented. I sweatdropped. 'Not like you had anything to do with that.' He gave me a fake smile. Then I asked a question I wanted to ask since he got here. 'What are your intentions? Are you planning on going back to Alius?' Jordan looked offended at me. 'Of course not, I want to beat them!' To be honest, I had my doubts. a few days ago he hated me, us, the earth. But on the other hand he seemed to be way happier.

'Good, because he kinda thinks we're going to play soccer. Are you coming with me?' As soon as I said that I got a shower of tea and pieces bagel, just like yesterday. 'NOT AGAIN!' He ignored me. 'That is a great idea!' he shouted excited. 'If you insist,' Byron only said. Then the greenhaired boy gasped. 'I will teach you Astro Break! Yes, I'm full of good ideas!' I mentally facepalmed, but nodded. Using familiar techniques is another way to play with the brain, and at that I'm good. I chuckled, there was no fear or evil in him right now, just pure joy.

'Where did Aphrodi go?' We were standing on the field between the construction site. Then someone came from the sky and landed, with his dramatic, blonde hair slowly falling down. 'I arrived just at time,' Byron said calmly. 'Ooh, always trying to make a mysterious arrival.' He smirked. 'I'm glad you noticed.'

'Hey, sorry I'm late,' Austin said, and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. 'Oh, you two are Aphrodi and Janus! You're amazing players!' They both were more then happy to receive that compliment, and soon Aphrodi was telling him everything about his soccer experience. They were both having a good time. Austin got to talk with a good player, and Aphrodi could brag about himself.

'Okay, let's do the Astro Break!' Jordan yelled excited. 'You can't expect me to do it perfe-' 'Okay, first you have to spin the ball.' I sighed. This was going to be a long day. 'Noohoo, spin it harder.' Aphrodi agreed with Jordan. 'Seriously, you can do better.'

'Thanks for being on my side Bryan,' Jordan said, trying to use Aphrodi's real name. 'Actually, it's-'

'Aaaand shoot!'

fifteen minutes later I finally made it spin. 'Okay, now you have to gain power and let it flow into the ball.' I raised my brow. 'Thank you for these clear instructions, I totally get it now.' Jordan glared at me, clearly annoyed. 'You have to feel the power, and send it to the ball. It feels like something strong and hot is swirling around you.' I chuckled. 'Just like you.' he frowned, and I couldn't read the expression on his face. Aphrodi giggled. 'Smooth.'

'Shut up Bryan. Why don't you go practise with Austin?'

Okay, gaining power, that couldn't be hard. I was wrong, the only thing I felt was the football. 'Focus on the sky and environment, and put the strength that you feel in the ball.' I tried and tried. Then I fell a little weird tingle. 'Well, that's a beginning,' Austin said. 'I saw a purple glow around the ball, that's good right?' I felt my eyes sparkle. Really? You really saw it?' Jordan nodded. 'I saw it as well.' My eyes became bigger, for me this was incredibly good. 'Are you sure?' The boys sighed in unison. 'Yes.'

I tried it again, but it didn't become more. It took me ten more times to even make that little glow again. In the meanwhile, Jordan, Austin and Aphrodi were practicing shots at the other goal. Aphrodi his God shot was still amazing, and Janus was trying something else. It involved a star, but I couldn't really see it. In the meanwhile Austin was improving his Tigershot.

'Well, this is interesting to see.' I squeaked and saw a familiar face. 'Wait, you're the captain of Occult!' The guy with the one eye bandage nodded. Janus and Byron walked to me. 'Yep, that's me, Johan Tassman. And you,' he pointed at the four of us, 'are Janus, Rhona, Austin and Byron. I have to say that it's a unique little group.' Johan jumped over the fence. 'Mind if I join?' Austin gasped. 'He knows who I am,' he whispered excited, 'I'm famous.'

'Sure.'

'So what are you doing?' I ran my fingers through my hair, it was so frustrating. 'Astro Break,' I mumbled. I was absolutely tired of it. One more time, I thought. And that one more time was enough. I felt the adrenaline running through my veins while I felt powers coming from everywhere, getting into the ball. 'Now shoot it!' I took a deep breath, and kicked the ball. It was followed by purple swirls and lighting looking things. I screamed exited, I did it. 'That was amazing!' Janus screamed, and he pointed at the net of the goal. There was a hole in it. 'That was a nice shot,' Johan said, and he laid his hand on my shoulder. I tried to casually shake it off. For some reason Jordan stared at us with a disapproving gleam in his eyes. Byron glared at him, then to me and back to Jordan again. He smirked. I didn't get it.

'Go and thank him,' He suddenly said. 'I don't need someone to tell me that.' Aphrodi giggled, but didn't respond. 'Do it with class, with love.' I shook my head and jogged to him. 'Thank you!' He smiled, his eyes standing peaceful. Then, I still had no idea why I did it, I pulled him into a hug. I felt my whole body glowing, and my pulse became high. At first he stiffened, but then he put his arms around my waist, and carefully pulled me closer. 'You're welcome,' he whispered in my ear.
