Episode 91: A Fallen Kingdom

A/N: If you're gonna ask, I followed (and possibly skip some parts) the episode plots, but I don't know the dialogue so yeah... It's a challenge.

(Note that is episode 112 and 113 in one)

Btw I'm sorry but im gonna skip the hacking, since Rena has her own part. Also, the duet song that Rushe sang is "Remember Me" from the "Coco".

(Honestly that movie made me cry at the end.... Play the vid above when you see the lyrics and just imagine that it's her singing)

Akira and Monaco were good help, helping us improve our skills for the next few days. After that, it was known that we'd be fighting against Brazil: Meaning, we'd be fighting against Kuroi.

I hope that second wish didn't go to waste.

Now, I was with Endou, Hijikata, Kidou, and Hiroto. Apparently, the captain of Brazil's team, Mac Ronejo, asked Endou to lose on purpose. I contacted Ichiban to research on them, and hell, they're better than Spain's team! Why would they ask us to lose?

"Well, that's everything I have on them." Ichiban says through the webcam.

"Why would they ask us to lose if they're so good?" Hiroto asked us, and none of us had the answer to it.

"Argh!" Endou shouts. "I can't play feeling like this!"

"Maybe you should see them, and ask why." Ichiban suggests. That would be a good idea, if I had told them that Kuroi had betrayed us and that an evil man is on the loose trying to kill us!

Soon we traveled to Brazil's area, Kouji and Rushe following us. As we were walking, there was a TV that showed an interview of Kuroi's team coach... Why does he look familiar to me...?

"A man... a tall man with a dark skin complexion, ordered to kill my parents..."

That man couldn't the one who killed Kuroi's parents... Could he?

We watched the interview, and it kinda made no sense... I get that he promoted this for peace but... The way he explains it...

I better tell Kuroi about this.

"Is it alright if me, Rushe and Kouji split up?" I asked them. "How come?" Hijikata asks back. "We're just gonna take a look at something. We'll be back." I reassured. "Well... Alright. But if anything happens, call for help." Kidou advised. "Or scream. That helps too." Endou adds, making Hiroto chuckle and Kidou giving a dead panned expression.

We went on different paths. Kouji gave me a curious look. "Mama, what are we gonna look at?" He asks. "I'm going to visit an old friend of mine. He's really nice." "Is he from another team like Fideo?" Kouji asks again. "Yup." I answer.
"Rena?"

I saw Kuroi in front of me. His hair looked disheveled, and it looked like he hasn't eaten for two or three days. "Mama, is that him?" Rushe asks. "Kuroi, I have---"

"I know." Kuroi cuts me off. "I'm being tricked." What? He knows? "My mom told me, if you're gonna believe that." He adds. What did Akira do? All I wished was, "Let my friend Kuroi see the light". Demons, always making plans. But, this plan worked. "I believe it, don't worry." I reassured. "Rena, even if I saw the realization, I can't get out of it." He says in a gloomy tone. "That horrible man has my uncle. It's relief that he didn't recognize me." Kuroi looks down. "I'm sorry, Rena. But were enemies now." He says and leaves us. Kouji and Rushe were confused at this.

And frankly, so was I.

"They were what?!"

"That's what we heard from the rest." Rosa said to Ichiban. We were on video chat once again. Hiroto had told Clara that the coach of Kuroi's team was holding their families hostage. I heard a scream in the background, which was Katokima and Nika's scream.

"Endou and the rest are at their area to get the data." Gina says.

"...this is bad. If they get caught---" "They won't." I reassured, cutting him off. "They're with Hiroto and Kidou: They'll be fine."

Ichiban sighs and doesn't say anything and turns off the computer. Gina looked at me. "Gees, even after all this..." "People can't help it." Clara sighs.

"I'm gonna go out." I stand up. "Oh, right. Tsunami and Fubuki took the kids out on the beach. Though, the two came back a few minutes ago." Rosa reminded me.

I grab my phone and leave the lodge and head to the beach. I saw Kouji and Rushe, sitting near the ocean.

The ocean water was reflecting the moonlight. I sat down next to the two. "So... How was your talk?" I asked them. My first wish from Akira was to let Kouji, Rushe, Kidou, and Haruna see their parents. I asked Shirou if he wanted to see his brother again, but he kindly declined and said that I should wish for something with my third wish. "Mama, you didn't really have to wish that for us." Kouji said as he looked at the ground. "What for? You both really missed them." I said, patting his head. Rushe didn't say anything: She was just staring at the moonlit ocean. What was on her mind right now?

"...Remember me...though I have to say goodbye, remember me...don't let it make you cry...For even though I'm far away, I'll hold you in my heart...I'll sing this secret song to you, each night when we're are apart..." Rushe starts singing, and me and Kouji look at her. Was this song a lullaby from when she was younger?

"Remember me...though I have to travel far, remember me...each time you hear a sad guitar, know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be...until you're in my arms again...Remember me..." Rushe finishes the song and looks at us, giving a small smile. "Real mama used to sing that song to me. Real papa told me." She said.

"Oh." I looked up at the sky. "Well, aren't you glad you talked to them?" I asked. "We are! Real papa even said that you and papa are doing great as parents!" Rushe exclaimed. "They're proud of you guys!"

"Rena! Kouji! Rushe! Endou-kun and the others are back!" We hear Aki's voice call out to us.

I stood up and held their hands. "Let's go back inside."

How those four managed to get into their area without getting caught is a huge mystery to me. Now, all of us were sitting in the room, the laptop once again connected to the TV as the stolen data was being opened... What kind of data did they steal anyway? Once the TV showed what was there, I was confused. What in the hell were we reading?

"A-Advanced weaponry!" Gina suddenly says. Weapons? OK, what could this coach be thinking... Unless... "Is he planning to take over the world or something?" I asked. Everyone looked at me. What? It was a question, right?

"Yes." My dad answered. Wait, what?!

"Take over the world?" Hijikata asked in disbelief.

"What do you mean by that?" Endou asks.

"Okita-san," Coach Kudou clears his throat, and my dad looks at him with cold eyes. Coach didn't bother saying what he was supposed to say right after. Was dad hiding something from us? "It's the oil fields." Hibiki-san says. "Oil fields?" Jousuke raises his eyebrow in confusion. "Those are the sources where you dig to extract oil." Tachimukai says. "Oh, that." Jousuke looks away. "Yeah, I knew that." He says while nodding. I sweat drop. Yeah, right.

"Aside from a chairman for the FFI and Brazil's coach, Garshield is also a head of an oil company." My dad says. Why have I heard the name from someone before? "Oil is vital for supplying fuel and energy, and that man has possessed large influence around the world up until now. But that, or by any case, his oil is about to dry out." He spat. OK, dad is definitely hiding something from us, but what? The picture of the TV changes to an oil chart, which shows that it was decreasing rapidly. "It's only a matter of time before he runs out of the oil he provides." Hibiki-san says again, and the slide shows to what Gina had said earlier.

"He has a business outline for military based weapons?" Clara asked. "I can't believe it. It's increased by five times than the normal average production of weaponry." She added. Is this girl a weapon addict? "Is he planning to start a war or something?" I heard Someoka ask. "From the looks of it, yes." My dad answers.

"Dad, why would he want that?" I asked.

"Honey, oil is necessary to use for war." My dad answered again. "If a war broke out now, countries everywhere would be forced to steal limited number of oil fields from each other, and their value would shoot through the roof." Hibiki-san continued. Even the little supply that Garshield has remaining could make an enormous profit. If he provides the weapons on top of that..."

"He'll... have control of the world." I answer, and I hear Toramaru shriek a little. "So... he held the FFI... just to make the participating countries go and each other and set war?" I look at dad: His eyes still remain cold. "But this is great news!" Megane stands up. "How is this good news?!" Clara asks furiously, but he didn't lose his cool. "The evidence is in our hands. Once we hand this to the police, Garshield will be arrested." He says.

Everyone cheered at this, but my dad still had those cold eyes...

'Dad, what are you hiding from us?'
**************************************************************

"Papa, catch!"

While Rushe, Akira, and Akio were playing (in their point of view they said they were, "practicing") outside, I was with Kouji, Kidou, Clara, Shirou, and Monaco. "Those two are really getting along quite well." Monaco says. I see Kidou rolling his eyes, and Kouji glaring at him. Not now, please. "So..." I started, hoping that the conversation would at least be a bit... How you do you put this... Lively?

"Mama, can we talk about that other notebook?" Kouji asks. "Yeah, a lot of things have been going on lately. We need a plan." Kidou adds. "I think I left it in my room... Though, I saw two of them: Tessaiga and Taifu No Pergii. I got the first one covered." I said. I don't even know the the other one. "You know what, leave the notebook for another occasion, since you only mastered one of them." Monaco suggests.

"But we need those techniques." Clara says. "Yes, but not now. Also, she has another techniques that she knows." Monaco says. It's true. I had copied a lot of them, and I haven't used the ones from the whole Aliea incident. Clara sighs. "Well, she is right..." "Actually, I want her to see Eternal Blizzard and Wolf Legend." Shirou chuckles.

"Still wondering how long will Hibiki-san take. The police station isn't far." Monaco says. It's true... Well, he is old.

"Ugh, just train." Clara points at the field.

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

All of us were waiting on Hibiki-san's state after the data was delivered to the police. After we heard the news about what happened, all of us rushed to the hospital. It turned out that Garshield's men were tailing on him. He did managed to lose them, but his heart condition must've gotten to him, and ended up in the ICU. When we got the results, (which were... kinda sad) we all went back to the lodging house. The atmosphere was tense.

"Mama, will Hibiki-san be alright?" Kouji asks while looking at me.

"I'm... I'm sure he'll be fine." I said, smiling a little. 

The silent and tense atmosphere was broken by my phone ringing. "Rena, I think it's important." Kidou says. Someoka huffs. "Let's hope it's good news." He says.

I grabbed my phone and put it on loudspeaker. I signaled everyone to keep their mouths shut before I started talking. "Lovino? Is everything OK?"

"No, it's not." He says gravely. Aki and Haruna look at each other with a worried look. "What do you mean?" I asked. "What's wrong?"

"Looks like that Brazilian coach had a replacement." I hear him scoff. "I don't know who, but I heard he knows uncle Okita." The replacement knows my dad? Did my dad know about this? Is that why he gave a cold gaze? "Be careful... I heard this guy is very deadly." Before I can say anything else, he hangs up on me. "Well, that's just great!" Someoka punches the wall. I gulp. Toshiro mentioned something about two people named Ivan and Kuro. Maybe one of them is the replacement... 

"Mama, I'm scared." Rushe clutches onto my arm.

'I'm scared too.' I want to say. But I ended up saying, "We're here to protect you."

I wish I can protect myself as well.

=============================================

The next day was the game against Brazil. All of us were waiting for a call from the hospital about Hibiki-san's condition before we head on out. Clara and Gina were going to stay behind and watch over Kouji and Rushe. I can't risk it. 

"Aki!"

We looked up at her. "I just got a call from the hospital!" She says to us. "Hibiki-kantoku's checkup results are good, and they're going to operate on him as planned."

"I see." Kazemaru nods.

"He will make it, right?" Tachimukai asks.

"Of course he will!" Jousuke slams on the seat. "There's no way he'd let that mess him up!"

"Yeah. No matter how tough the surgery may be, Hibiki-kantoku will be able to pull through." Kidou says through a sly grin.

"All right then! Let's win this!" Someoka stands up from his seat.

"We'll win and give our victory to Hibiki-kantoku as a present!" Kabeyama exclaims.

"What about the replacement coach? Shouldn't we be worried?" Touko asks them.

"No matter what threat is there, we're gonna win." I say, taking a deep breath.

"Good luck, mama, papa!" Rushe and Kouji say at the same time.

"Thanks, kids." Akio ruffles their hair.

"Thank you." I smile a little.

After eating and some mid-training, we head out. My dad was with us instead of Kudou-kantoku again: Kudou-kantoku volunteered to stay in the hospital for a while to check with Hibiki-san. My dad's expression remained cold, like yesterday. 

Once there at the stadium, we got in our places and I immediately look at the opponent's side: The coach wasn't Garshield, but it was a man who looked like he was in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a long, heavy tan coat, green pants, brown gloves, and a long tan scarf. Not to mention he's tall and... big-boned, maybe...

"That's him, I guess." Endou says. "But he doesn't look deadly at all!"

"Looks can be deceiving." Akio says, smirking a little. He's right. But by looking at him, the man has childish-like features. His hair, face, and eyes seem otherwise. Actually, the guy looked like he couldn't hurt a fly!

The line-up for the game was: Me, Tobitaka, Shirou, Hiroto, Kidou, Endou, Kabeyama, Shuuya, Toramaru, Kazemaru, and Hijikata. "Be careful out there, you eleven. Who knows what that man is planning in Garshield's stead." My dad says. 

I see the said man look at us. He smiled. "Hello there, Japan! My name is Ivan Braginsky! Hope we be good friends!" He shouts to us. "Oi, kantoku!" I hear his teammates laugh at the sudden greeting. "He seems... eccentric." I hear Kidou say. 

"Agreed." I nod. 

Let the game begin, Ivan...
