Never Say Goodbye: An Inazuma Eleven Go Fanfic

Part 4

Here's the next part, at my friend's pestering.

Hope you all like it! :)

****

Dead silence.

"What!?"

"No way..."

"He's back!?"

A commotion erupted from the team.

Tenma held up a hand for silence. Everyone slowly settled down.

"Unfortunately, yes." Tenma said. "Apparently he stayed in the galaxy we traveled to, and had started to build up his army from the aliens that would side with him. I was asked to help, as our friends believed that I knew more about him than the aliens fighting against him did. Of course, I accepted. But now he's become so powerful, that I came back for your help. We need the power of the Keshin, the Mixi Max, the Souls, whatever will help take him down. I'm asking for your help, but only if you want to help me defeat him. I know it's asking a lot, especially after not contacting any of you these past three years. But please, think about it."

Tenma had an almost worried look in his eyes, knowing full well that his friends may not completely trust him because of his disappearance.

Fei placed a hand on the teen's shoulder. Tenma looked at him and smiled a little.

"I will help." Tsurugi said, breaking the silence that had followed Tenma's speech.

Tenma looked at Tsurugi.

"I will help you, Tenma." He said. "I want to join the fight."

Tenma smiled.

"Thank you, Tsurugi." He said.

Thanks to their striker, one by one, every member of the team said they wanted to join in the fight, even the managers.

The adults watched the teen's, staying silent the whole time.

Tenma looked at them.

"This is... quite enlightening." Zaizen Sousuke, the Prime Minister, said. "Though I can believe that it is something he would do. Matsukaze Tenma, you have my full support."

Tenma smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Minister." He said, then looked at the rest of the adults.

Gouenji smiled.

"You've really grown up, haven't you?" The blonde coach said, walking over to Tenma.

He held out his hand to the teen.

"You have my full support as well, Matsukaze-kun." Gouenji said.

Tenma smiled, taking his coach's hand in his own and giving him a firm handshake.

Gouenji looked at their clasped hands and blinked, unsure if what he felt on Tenma's hand was real, only to be distracted as someone put their hand on top of theirs.

It was Endou.

"Same here." He smiled.

Kidou came over and placed his hand on top as well.

"Completely." A smile was playing on the goggled man's lips, but he was serious.

One by one, the adults joined in, afterwards being joined by all of Tenma's friends. Even the Prime Minister joined in.
