"Don't feel bad, Rena." Kuroi reassured.

Right now, we're at the National Soccer Youth soccer field. Right after practice, Nina just casually walked in and said that she already had the field set up. Yeah, she set up the field alright. My field where I practically attacked her for calling me... I can't even say it. 

"How can I not feel bad?" I groaned. "Thanks to me, Endou and the others probably hate me now!" "Yeah... yesterday, we went to RaiRaiKen. Well, Endou invited me. Then the noodle guy said that Endou's notebook was in the school and--- Oh wait, you weren't there." Kuroi sweat dropped. Right. I was too scared to go to the club room the next day because of Someoka's glare. Yeah, he may have scared me a little...

"Sakuma, it's not your fault, you know?"

I looked behind me and saw Endou. I looked away, muttering, "Yeah right... you're just saying that to cheer me up." "Well, it did hurt when you didn't tell us." Endou pointed out. "We felt betrayed. But Genda-san explained the whole thing, so some of us aren't angry at you anymore." He said. Some? Well, aside from him and Kuroi, who weren't mad at me?

"I think you should take Someoka's position." Endou suddenly said. "H-Huh? Huh?!" I asked, shocked while pointing at myself. "Endou, you can't put me out, especially with her as my substitute!" Someoka shouted, appearing with Kurimatsu, Shishido, Handa, and Shourinji.

"Yeah! For all we know, she could give information to Teikoku, even if she was transferred here!" Shourinji shouted, glaring at me. 'Hey, I helped you win Occult, didn't I?' I thought to myself while looking down. "She knows Nina better than anyone." Kuroi spoke up. I looked up at him. Kuroi gave me a small wink. "She's been eyeing Nina since elementary, even when she was still at Teikoku! She knows all her strategies!" 

He's right. I kept eyeing on Nina play soccer ever since I got that 10 week suspension from her dad. Even so, I managed to sneak in at every match she had, even if it meant getting grounded. 

"It's only once." Kazemaru said, putting a hand on Endou's shoulder. "After this, no more." 'Right. After this, it'll be like I'm at Teikoku.' I thought sadly. Even though everyone in Teikoku knew about my ability, Kageyama and Kidou wouldn't let me on the pitch unless me and Jirou have to switch appearances. Yes, me and Jirou can switch appearances, even though we had a slightly different skin tone, and that my eyes were blue. I thank my uncle for making those contact lenses.

"Get on with it, Raimon!" I heard Nina shout. 

"Wel, do you want to?" Kazemaru asked. 

I pondered for a minute, then I nodded. "Let's beat them."

"Now that's the spirit, Sakuma Rena!" Kuroi patted me on the back.

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

The formation was pretty easy to break. Nina had four forwards up front, two midfielders, and four defenders. Looking at them we would have the upper hand. At least, I hope we would have the upper hand. I think we might...

The whistle blew, starting with our kickoff. I kicked the ball to Gouenji, and he kicked it back to me, and the both of us starting running, the ball in my possession, and Handa right behind us. The both of us ran past the forwards in a flash, but Gouenji was blocked by one of the midfielders, so that left me running up ahead.

"Whirlwind Steal!"

In a short flash, a light whirlwind blew me off, and the defender had the ball in her possession. "Nina-kun! It's yours!"

She kicked the ball to Nina and ran forward with two other forwards. Shishido and others couldn't block them fast enough, and in short minutes, they were already at the goal post. 

"Sword of Virtue!!"

Nina's technique was a dead ringer to Fideo Ardena's "Odin Sword". Luckily, Endou managed to stop it with "God Hand". The main question for me was...

'How on earth did she learn that move?!'

"What?! That was Fudou Hokago's move!" Kuroi exclaimed angrily.

"Fudou Hokago?" Endou asked, looking at him from the bench. "Fudou Hokago, age 14 when he made that move. He was nicknamed, 'Raikoku's Knight' because of the hissatsu technique, 'Sword of Virtue'." Kuroi explained. "Oh? Did I copy a technique? Why does that sound familiar?" Nina asked, smirking and looking at me. I guess she could see my expression of rage. 

'She is going to get so creamed when I show her what a real copy cat can do...'

The match started with Nina's kick off, and this time, I was not going to let her take it this time. 

"Try and get the ball, copy cat~!" Nina teased. That's it. Now she really wants to get creamed.

"Want me to get it? Fine. Drill Steal!!!"

A drill appeared from below and blew Nina a little, only so I can get the ball.

"Mikado Takanaka's move!" I heard Kuroi exclaim, in a more happy kind of way. 'Well... I am the original one after all, Nina.' I thought while smirking at her. Running with the ball, I kicked it to Gouenji, and lucky he was already up ahead with Kazemaru, because I was already blocked by one of the midfielders. "Tch, get out of the way," I whispered. The midfielder must have heard me, because she smirked.

"Even if I did get out of the way, you and Endou-kun won't be able to win against us." She whispered back. "Balderdash." I muttered.

"Fire Tornado!"

"Mad Stream!"

The midfielder moved so I can see what happened. And what I saw was the ball in the goalkeeper's hands. Wait, her move was "Mad Stream". What?! How was that even possible?! "You have got to be kidding me! My mom's move?!" I asked furiously. "Your mom's?!" Kazemaru looked at me. 

"Heh, guess you're not the copy cat after all!" The goalkeeper sneered. "Take it, Nina, Akari, Kazane!" 

She kicked it to the three and the started running forward. Gouenji and Kazemaru tried running back, but they were blocked by the two remaining forwards. Idiots. I'm still here! Ignoring the midfielder in front of me, I ran back, avoiding every possible block. Handa and the others couldn't block them again because of their speed.

"Dragon's Devour!"

It was Kazane's voice. A large, green dragon appeared from out of the ground, and kicked it in the goal. Unfortunately, Endou couldn't stop it. Now, my blood has boiled. First, she takes my place as a forward, then, she takes my place in Teikoku, and now, she copied my ability?! That. Is. The last straw!!!

"Hyoru Gaen's move! OK, only Rena knows those moves! And she never showed them to any of you!" Kuroi shouted. Kazane, Akari, and Nina smirked. "Well, I guess that Rena isn't the real copy cat, anymore." Nina sneered. 

The rest of the game was either us getting the upper hand and getting the ball stolen from us, or managing to block them, but not get a single goal. Worse, is that the moves her team were using were moves from my mom and dad's soccer team. "Radiant Punisher", "Dark Fog", "The Demise of Azi Dahaka", almost all of the moves were from my parents, and they managed to copy them. The first half ended with a 2-0, Nina's team in the lead.

"I told you we should've put me in the game!" Someoka said angrily, clenching his fists. "Yeah! If Someoka was in, we would've had the upper hand!" Kurimatsu added. I glared at them, then I turned to Nina's team. How did she learn those moves? Only I know those moves, so how did she--- wait. Wait.

"Kuroi, did you check my locker before I left Teikoku?" I asked him. Kuroi looked at me. "Uh, yeah I have. Usually I'd see a green notebook whenever I look in there. I was going to give it back, but the next day, it wasn't in the locker." He said. "A notebook?" Endou looked at me. "I have copies of my parent's old hissatsu moves, including their teammates and their play styles. I even have one about you guys--- whoops I said that out loud..." I mumbled. 

"About us?" Kageno said, appearing out of nowhere, giving me the shivers. "Well, your moves and play styles honestly..." I scratched the back of head. "Well, that's why they call her the 'Copy Cat' for a reason. She can copy any technique." Shuuya said. "Wow, that's amazing!" Endou exclaimed, and I can clearly see the sparkle in his eyes. "Enough of that, how are we going to get past them?" Shourinji asked, seeing that the team was already on the field.

"Hmm... Well, I had this method for a while now," I muttered. "Oh, you mean that method that you wanted to try at Teikoku?" Kuroi asked. "Well, lucky for me that part of your notebook was ripped, so here!" 

He pulled out a piece of paper out of his pocket. Then I realized. "Wait, did you rip it?" I asked. Then Kuroi sweat dropped. Yep. He did. "Well, see," I grabbed the paper from him, then showed it to Endou and the rest. After a few minutes, Endou and Kazemaru looked up at me. "So, will it work?" I asked.

"We won't know unless we try!" Endou exclaimed.

"You're kidding?!" Handa asked. "We can't trust her! She might use that to gather more information about us!" "Hey, I didn't send the video." I intervened. "Even so! You might be pretending!" "Hey back off, Handa! Rena has been a loyal teammate, and she changed! Besides, it was Nina's fault why she's acted like an emotionless robot-- No offense." Kuroi turned to me. "And I explained everything!" He added.

Everyone had perplexed look on their faces, but I decided to stand up. "I know Nina said everything, but that doesn't mean I can switch sides." I said. "I'm changing for the better thanks to Kuroi, Shuuya, and your captain, so give me a second chance." I pleaded.

"....Fine." Everyone sighed. "But no funny business." Someoka threatened. 

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

The formation I made up was easy. Me, Kuroi, and Shuuya were in the front. At least Endou decided to switch out Shourinji for a while, or else the plan won't work. Alright, back to the formation;

3 forwards up front, 3 midfielders, and 4 defenders. Since was Endou was in goal, it was going to be much easier. Nina's formation was the same, and she, Akari, and Kazane were looking at each other, then at us with confused looks on their faces. 

The ball started with their kickoff. Kuroi stole the ball with ease as me and Shuuya ran up behind him. When 2 of the midfielders decided to block him, he kicked the ball to Shuuya and the both of us ran forward. When the defender decided to block him, he kicked the ball to me. 

"Rena! Nina's coming!"

Kuroi was right, immediately, Nina went back to the goal while I was running. I smirked to myself. "Eat this, Hernandez!"

I jumped in mid air, and I could see Nina panic a little. "Heh."

"Kage Ziun's Force!!!"

I kicked the ball, and a shape of a lion formed and it shot through. When I landed down, I looked at Nina with a smirk. "Who's the real one now?" I asked. 

"Great job, Sakuma!"

"Great job, Rena-chan!"

"It's like I'm hearing Kou." I mumbled.

The ball started with our kickoff this time, and Nina and her teammates couldn't get past us or the others. Kazemaru's "Hurricane Dash" was good enough to pass the ball to Shuuya, and the both of us shot in the goal with "Dragon Tornado", leading our second point, so that meant we were in a tie. 

"We're almost out of time!" Shourinji shouted.

"Kuroi! You're our hope!" I kicked the ball to him. He didn't even do anything, he just kicked the ball in, but it was caught by the goalkeeper herself. When she threw the ball back to Nina, that's when the timer stopped.

We didn't win, and we didn't lose either.

"You said that she was still down!" I heard Akari shouted.

"And that stupid notebook you gave us was useless!" One of her midfielders shouted as well.

Kazane walked up to me and gave back my notebook. "Here. Neither of us didn't use it, except for Nina." She said. "And also, I quit." She said, walking away from me. 'Long orange hair and a tracksuit...' 

"A tie..." Handa sighed.

"We didn't lose, and we didn't win." Shuuya said. "Yeah, next time, we'll beat them for sure!" Endou encouraged. I gave a light chuckle. "Yeah."

"Hmph!" Nina and her team already walked away from the field, and Kuroi shouted, "You guys are fakers!!!", earning a show that Akari threw at him.

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

"Wow! So these are your parents and their teammates techniques?!"

Endou, Kuroi, Shuuya, and Kazemaru were in my house right now. I was showing them the notebooks that I drew and written in. What was inside, was all the techniques I saw either live or on TV. There were 4 notebooks in all; One from my dad, one from my mom, and two for right now. "Wow, these took a lot to draw." Kazemaru commented. "Not really. I have a sharp memory." I giggled a little.

"This the first time you've open up." Kuroi said. I blinked. "Oh... Uh..." "That's good though! Opening up to others is a good thing!" Endou said. 

I smiled. "Thanks guys."

"For what?" Shuuya looked at me.

"For making me go back to what I am." I laughed.

"No problem, Rena!" Kuroi gave a toothy grin.
