Me: Decided not to finish the SP Fixers match because of a new scene I made myself. Don't worry, the Aliea Arc will still continue.
*****************************************

We arrived at the crash site where Gemini Storm was last seen. They had kidnapped the Prime Minister and destroyed the newly revealed statue. Thank Natsumi for letting us in the site even though we weren't allowed.

Kira had ordered us to split up to find some remains of Gemini Storm. Me, Kuroi, Gina and Kenjirou had decided to group up and find some clues. Unfortunately, there was none in our spot. Kuroi had found a grey cloth, but it wasn't really relevant to what we were looking for.

"Man, first Kageyama now this." Gina said, sighing.

"Tell me about it." Kuroi muttered.

"So what now?" Kenjirou asked.

"Obviously, we go back and tell them we didn't find anything except a grey sheet." I said.

Before any of us moved, we were caught in a net trap. I can't believe it. Another trap?! Nina! If you dare try and convince Kira that we were kidnapped, I am going to kill you right in front of your little sister!

"We got 'em!"

In the bushes revealed a girl with pink hair, a large man that looked like a stone statue, and a girl with blonde hair. "We got you now, aliens!" The pink-haired girl exclaimed.

"Excuse me?! We are human beings, people!" Kenjirou shouted.

That wasn't a smart move. Because the next thing we knew the statue like man removed the rope from the tree and dragged us. Literally dragged us. This was not our day at all. And this was the first time people though we were aliens...

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

"At least they let us out."

"True."

Good thing they did. Otherwise I would have eaten the net and kicked them in the face. The same guys that kidnapped us were actually the Prime Minister's bodyguards, and by Kenjirou's observation, the pink haired girl was Zaizen Touko, the Prime Minister's daughter. Well, they have the same appearance... in the clothes maybe. (Look I don't know politics...)

"So, what's the plan?" Kenjirou asked.

"Obviously, we're subbed and we just have to watch the flow of the game because that's what we usually do." Kuroi slumped down in defeat. (Well that's what it looked like)

"Kuroi....." Kenjirou sighed. "Just because we have a new coach that doesn't mean you're out." He reassured.

"Yeah? You see the look she hand on her face when she picked us up? She was unamused." True. She looked unimpressed when she saw us, so I'm guessing she wouldn't be putting us in a game anytime soon. Not like I minded. I was always subbed back in Teikoku... actually, me and Kuroi were.

"Well... accept it." Gina and Kenjirou said.

"Genda Kenjirou-kun, since we're missing a player, you'll be subbing in." I heard Kira command. Oh sure, the person who didn't mind being subbed was the one being picked? How great. (Note the sarcasm)

"But they're up against adults. Won't it be a difference in endurance?" Gina asked.

"Yeah, but I guess with Kenji, we can win." I said.

"Kenji?" Kenjirou looked at me before walking up to Endou and the others.

"Why Kenji?" Kuroi asked.

"Just watch the match." I said, getting out my notebook.

Furukabu was the referee, so when the whistle blew, it was our kickoff. Someoka kicked the ball to Shuuya as he was running up aggressively into the opponent's side. Shuuya passed the ball to Ichinose as the three (Kazemaru was in midfield) were running up. 2 midfielders were blocking him, but he managed to get past them and passed the ball to Kenjirou, who only got blocked when 3 defenders used a hissatsu technique called "Body Shield", so the ball went outside.

"So close!" Kino said.

"What an amazing defense!" Otonashi exclaimed, in worry.

"A technique that uses their own bodies to defend." I muttered.

Soon Shuuya had the ball but a forward used his move, "Profile Zone", and the ball was immediately stolen. Kenjirou had managed to grab it and pass it to Kidou, only to be blocked by another forward and Touko. When Someoka had the ball, he used Dragon Crash, but the goalkeeper used his move, "Safety Protect". Now that time, they were really close.

Now the SP Fixers had their chance to attack. Touko and 2 other forwards were following her. Kazemaru was going to mark her but she did a backflip to get past him. She passed it to the other two forwards, and when Kabeyama was going to block them, they used "Aikido". So I guess that was the first Aikido. (My mom said something about more than just "Aikido, Low Kick")

Soon it was passed to a midfielder, then two defenders who used, "Tkachev Bomber". Endou used Bakuretsu Punch, and luckily, he managed to stop the ball.

Someoka had the ball but because he saw Kenjirou running towards the goal, he passed the ball to him. Kenjirou used a move called, "King's Sword", but Touko used her move "The Tower", so the ball was easily stolen.

There was only a few minutes in the first half. Someoka must have been somewhat angry and scared that when he kicked the ball, it went way out of the goal. The whistle blew, meaning that the first half ended. 

Kenjirou approached us. "Dang. They're good. Especially that Zaizen girl." He said. "Well, they're adults, but I'm guessing Zaizen-senpai is the same age as Rena." Gina said.

"Listen up everyone."

Kira clapped her hands before approaching all of us. "I'll tell you the strategy for the second half. Someoka-kun, Kazemaru-kun, Kabeyama-kun, Kenjirou-kun, you four will be put on bench." She said.

"What?" Endou looked at her.

"The rest of the members will cover for their spaces. This strategy will help us win." Kira said.

"Hello? What about us?" Gina asked.

Kira looked at us with that same expression before we got on the caravan. Kuroi and Kenjirou exchanged glances, Gina was fiddling with her fingers, and I was looking at her. After 10 seconds of silence, Kira said, "I only let you on this ride because Endou-kun suggested it. I won't let some third-rate players ruin the chances of winning against Aliea Gakuen."

"Coach, we can't fight like this." Kidou said. 

"No, you will." Kira commanded.

"But---"

"The second half is starting." Kira cut off his sentence.

"Third-rate?! That's just insulting!" Kuroi gritted his teeth.

"Lucky. They let me in." Kenjirou muttered.

"This coach is weird..." Gina murmured.

I have to admit, putting them on bench was a bad idea, and also, calling me, Gina, Kenjirou and Kuroi third-rate players, is a huge insult to me. Hello?! I was called "The Copy Cat", for a reason! Sheesh!

So the position for this half was only with seven members. To be honest, Kenjirou wasn't bench, and that we weren't called third-rate, we would have at least a small chance.

Soon SP Fixer's back was wide open. But I didn't really pay much attention because I was angry. Third-rate... well, it's better than being called some other words that hurt me bad...

"Useless!"

"Scary..."

"Cold as ice."

"Not a good player."

"Girls can't play soccer!"

"It's your own fault you lost your chance as a forward, Sakuma Rena!"

It wasn't my fault... It never was... wasn't it?

"Rena, I think I know why Kira decided to bench them." Kenjirou said. "Zeus. Their injuries may not be serious, but because it still hurts. That's why she decided to bench them."

"How come you're benched then?" I asked.

Kenjirou rolled up his jacket sleeve (he was wearing the jacket while playing, kinda like Kidou, since he wears his cape), and showed me a burn mark that had the shape of a cross. "It stings. So I was a little sloppy." He chuckled. Cute. Wait, what? Erase Rena, Erase.

Looking back at the match, I'm thinking it was going to be a one-sided match. Kidou, Kazemaru, and Ichinose were moving at a dizzy pace. Well, because of the lack of players, they're covering up their spaces. Dang that coach for not letting us in.

"Hey, uh... guys?" We averted our gaze to Gina. "I have a feeling this match won't last long."

"Why?" Kuroi asked.

"Security Shot!"

"Kiai!"

We saw Nina kick the shot to a nearby tree. "Alright. I know you're just playing with them, Zaizen Touko." She sneered.

"Hah?" Everyone looked at her.

Touko sighed. "Fine, fine. I knew. I was just making sure."

"YOU TRAPPED US IN A NET!!!" Kuroi shouted. Touko sweat dropped and smiled awkwardly.

"I'm just here to warn you, Sakuma." Nina glared at me. "You're gonna regret slapping me more than once."

"And you're gonna regret that I decided to not hit you in the face." I muttered.

"Kira Hitomiko, surely you wouldn't want these third-rates?" Akari sneered. "Besides, Rena's only a sub. Kuroi, Kenjirou-sama, and Gina are full players." 

"I never asked for your opinion." Kira said. "They stay."

"How did they know we're here?" Endou whispered and I responded with a shrug. I never knew why they were here either. The next thing I know, Kira was talking to Nina, and I saw her jump with joy as they left. Gina, Kuroi, and Kenjirou had worried looks on their faces. Something tells me this isn't good...

"Rena, you have to do your best! If you do one mess up, she'll replace us all!" Gina shouted.

"WHAT?!" All of us shouted, including Endou and the others.

"I heard them! If we don't follow her orders, she threatens to replace us!" Kuroi said with worry.

Kenjirou cleared his throat before approaching Kira. After 20 seconds, Kenjirou walked up to us, saying that he knew were Gemini Storm was, and we had to get there immediately. 

What really concerned me was, why would Kira agree to this?!
