"Nervous?"

"Kinda." I answered. 

All of us were gathered at the main entrance of Orpheus' soccer field. A man whom we saw yesterday (except for Fideo and the rest) had his back turned to us, and a team of soccer players were in front of him.

"So, you didn't run away." The man said, his back still turned.

"Promise us that if we win, you'll give back Italy's representative seat!" Fideo commanded, or said, angrily.

"Of course," The man slightly turned his head, but he wasn't facing us. "But what about them?"

"We're members from Japan's national team, Inazuma Japan," Endou said.

"They said they'll play in place of those who were injured." Fideo said.

My heart was racing. My heartbeat was beating more faster than before. Was I still scared? 

"So you've come back..."

He turned to face us, and me, Endou, Jirou, Fideo, and mostly Kidou, were shocked at this. 

"Kidou, my creation."

"I knew it." Jirou gritted his teeth in anger.

"Then, this man is..." Fideo looked at us.

"Right... The one who attacked us using cowardly methods." I said glaring at him.

"And for the cause for my grandpa's death..." Endou finished.

"Does that mean everyone's injuries are because of him?" Fideo asked, concern and anger mixed in his voice.

"I don't know what he's planning, but there's no doubt that he's using Italy's representative seat for his own ambitions." Jirou said.

"Ay... won't Lovino get pissed at this..." I heard Gianluca mutter, to which I replied to him, with a glare signaling, 'Not now, Zanardi.' look at him.

"Kageyama...." Endou was glaring, and Kidou made a 'Tch' sound from his mouth.

"The Commander's name is K."

A voice startled most of us, and what's shocking is that the voice and the appearance of the source...

"Mr. K."

He looked exactly like Kidou. Aside from the light red cape, vermilion colored goggles, and the low-dreadlocks, he was a Kidou look-alike.

"Let me introduce you." Kageyama was smirking a little, but it was a mean one. "This is the commanding tower of Team K, Demonio Strada."

"Well, did Rejji get Strada already?"

"Yeah... The RH program was already injected in him and his teammates last night."

'He's working for Trina... This is bad.' I thought, avoiding eye contact with him.

"He looks exactly like you, Kidou!" Endou said in complete astonishment, and shock.

I grabbed my phone and texted Nami. I sent the voice recording quick enough so no one would notice. Luckily, Nami received it and he was going call someone about this, right now.

"Sakuma, you're subbing in for me," Vento Gagliano said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"I can't, Gagliano. I'd rather sub." I said.

"I heard from your cousins that you're a good player. You can handle this." Vento started walking to the bench. 

*********************************************

All of us were in position. I felt glares at me from some of Fideo's teammates for some reason, but I shrugged them off, hoping that it was just my imagination or something. Team K was starting the kickoff, so it made me a little worried... I don't even know what kind of team this is...

The whistle blew and, and two forwards of Team K kicked the ball to Demonio. Kidou was running, hoping that he'd steal the ball when...

"Shin Illusion Ball!"

In a flash he got past Kidou, using the technique that Kidou made himself. Now, I was wondering why would Kageyama and this team of his to work with Trina, not knowing the consequences of what's gonna happen.

I saw him running towards the defense line, but I blocked him. "No way you're getting past me, Strada!"

I saw him smirk and he...

He did the exact same thing Kidou did when he got past Kabeyama. He kicked the ball above me and managed to get past me. That little sneaky... I, am furious right now.

"Violette, move up! Bianco, right side!"

The two forwards from earlier followed his orders. And that's when it hit me; They were moving like Teikoku used to do. Oh no.

"Don't let them go any further!" Fideo commanded. "Marco! Dante! Bring back the defense line!"

It was already too late for that. Demonio had already gotten past them. Crap... Wait a moment---

"The defense line! It's in pieces!" I said. 

"Got it!" 

Kidou started to bring back the defense line together again, and Jirou was going after Demonio. Jirou blocked one of his teammates in hopes that he was the one, but unfortunately, it was a decoy, and the pass was meant for another player. Crap. Not only are they moving like Teikoku, but they have a sure plan just like Nina would. 

Demonio got past the players and kicked the ball in the goal, but luckily Endou managed to catch it. We weren't going to loose points because of Kageyama's plot on ruining the FFI. Endou threw the ball to Kidou and he passed it to me, but somehow he... zoned out all of a sudden.

"Kidou! Oi! Kidou!" I called out. This isn't good...

With the ball still in my possession, I ran up to him. "Oi! Kidou! What's wrong?!"

"...why... is it... me..."

"H-How... how is this happening to me... and me only..."

"Snap out of it!"

I slapped him. Hard. That must've worked. 

"What was---?!"

"Don't you even dare." I threatened. "Don't you even dare on thinking about this now, Kidou! You have to focus since we're not going to win if you just zone out and think about what happened in the past! Well I got news for you, Kidou Yuuto! You escaped from his hold, and you're not going back! If you're just going to zone out because of this, I am going up on my own!"

Luckily, since the ball was still in my possession, I ran up on my own, ignoring the calls of Endou, Jirou, and Fideo. I saw Akio running along-side me, smirking. "Didn't think you have the guts to do that."

"Didn't think you have the guts to zap my lips." I said. "Now be the reckless idiot you are and help me!"

"Got it, Penguin."

The both of us got past the forwards, midfielders, and defenders in a snap, Akio made a centering (since it was in his possession; I passed it to him) and kicked it to me. I did a powerful bicycle kick and hoped that it was enough to make it in.

I was wrong.

The goalkeeper caught it with ease, as if a regular ball was just kicked at him. Where did Kageyama find these guys?

The goalkeeper threw it to Demonio, who was already running up. The others were rushing to get back in the defense line, in which they managed to. Unfortunately, when Akio did a sliding steal, Demonio dodged it. Finally he was in front of the goal and...

"This is the ultimate shoot!"

He whistled, and five, black penguins came out and bit his leg, a red aura surrounding it. Isn't this---

"Emperor Penguin X!"

The monstrous shoot was heading towards Endou at a frightening speed. Before Endou could, "Ikari No Tetsui", the ball was already straight in the goal...

"Wasn't that..." I started, but Jirou cut me off.

"No, it's not Emperor Penguin 1, and it's even more powerful than that." He said. 

"But, if it's more powerful than that, how come---"

"Don't confuse it with some incomplete technique that has a recoiling effect for every shot." Demonio sneered, a smirk on his face. 

The whistle blew, signaling the end of the first half. "Rena, that was reckless dive." Fideo lectured. "You could've gotten injured. Not to mention that you slapped your own teammate."

"Sorry, Fideo." I sighed. "I-I felt like he needed to snap out of it."

"Well you certainly did." Kidou said, rubbing the area where I slapped him. 

"Gomen, Yuuto." I gave a light bow before looking up at him. 

"Apart from that, Fideo's right." Endou suddenly said. "Next time, don't make a reckless move. All of us are in this together. This about Fideo's team being in the FFI."

"Gomen, Endou."

"I'd say, despite her recklessness, she managed to get past most of the players." Akio said.

"Mentioning that, he's right." Dante said. 

I was a little reckless, but that never meant I was too reckless. I knew my limits and I knew my options. Sometimes, you just gotta go with it.

"How are we going to fight for the second half?" Angelo asked.

"Rena, you're benched. Vento's going to be on the pitch." Fideo said. "We'll stick to what we know."

"I guessed." I shrugged. 

The second half started, and it was not looking good. Due to Kidou's lack of concentration (which will lead to another slap later) and Akio's stubbornness, the team was in shambles. Demonio even got past Fideo, and did Emperor Penguin X again. 

"Wrong timing, Nami." My phone rang. Sighing, I answered it.

"Sorry if this is a bad time, but get over here. I'm in Brazil's area, where Kuroi is."

"Na--" He hung up. "If it's important, go." I looked at Blasi, since he was the one who said that. I gave a grateful smile at him. "Sorry if I caused trouble, and thanks for allowing us to help!" I didn't even hear his thanks, because I already ran out of the place.

What's going on?
