EGO

A man once said "A striker is nothing without his EGO".

A year after Inazuma Japan won the U-16 World Championship, they are a team that has been spreading all over Japan.

Blue Lock 11, a team strong enough to beat Japans U-20 team, a feat that sounds unbelievable but score says it all.

Unknown to the teams a new battle would soon arrive for both sides.

On a pitch, two boys are having a fun game of football. One was the goalie, he had brown eyes with dark brown hair with an orange head band. He wore a green goalkeeping jersey for the team Inazuma with the No.1 at the back. His name, Mark Evans.

The other, a striker with white spiky hair and calm brown eyes, he wore a yellow Jersey which was for the same team with the No.10 at the back. His name was Axel Blaze.

Axel flicks the ball upwards and jumps landing a over head shot, it travels to the bottom left corner but the quick footed Mark saves it with his fist.

It goes back to Axel then runs up. His eyes turn a dark shade of red, his leg seeming like it was in pure flames. He shoots a deadly shot straight to the top left corner, the ball almost incinerated by the flames. Mark the dives for the ball but the ball is too fast for him.

"Nice shot, Axel. You've gotten stronger", Mark says in an enthusiastic voice.

Beside the pitch, two boys walk together they wore all casuals. One had very dark brown hair with dark yellow eyes, he wore a black shirt and shorts with white slides. He's name was Bachira.

The other, a boy with black hair and dark blue hair. He wore a blue shirt with black joggers and black shoes. His name, Isagi.

"What was that?",Bachira asks.

"Is that a kind of Ego?", Isagi asks.

Bachira then runs to the pitch with a big grin on his face, he runs up to the field and introduces himself with Isagi not far behind. "Hello, My name is Bachira, this is my friend Isagi and I have a request".

"I want to play with…",he says as he judges the two boys. As he looks at them he sees a black figure pointing to Axel, the figure could only be defined as a monster.

"You", he says while pointing to axel.

"Alright, let's go", Axel responds.

As Bachira stretches and warms up he asks a question. "What position do you play?".

Axel answers with one word. "Striker".

Bachira's eyes become like a deep storm as they glow a fierce yellow he says with a large smile "Perfect!".

Axel who was with the ball at the time was dispossessed in a second, Bachira then turns back at him with his leg on the ball saying "Let's begin".

Bachira then begins dribbling him, as he moves to the right and cuts him left. Axel then tries slide tackling him but was easily dealt with by a rainbow flick.

"Where is it?", Bachira says as Axel gets up.

"What?", Axel asks as they continue contesting for the ball.

Bachira then continues to dribble him, giving him numerous skills and asking again "Where the fuck is it!!".

"What are you talking about?!", Axel asks while panting.

Bachira then jumps back and shoots Axel right in his stomach, he falls to the floor with the ball rolling beside him.

He walks up to Axel and squats down and with his eyes glowing a menacing yellow he asks "Your EGO?!".

Axel is scared, confused but in awe none the less. Bachira looks at the back of him, where he sees the same old monster laughing with his middle finger facing Axel.

He bursts into laughter which makes him fall on his back, through the gaps of his laughter "You have none".

"Why that's quite sad but better luck next time",Bachira says as he begins to walk away.

Isagi then walks towards Axel stretching his hand in front of him saying "I'm quite sorry about him".

"Oh no it's alright", Axel says as he forces a nervous smile and raises his hand to accept his.

His eyes then glow a bright blue with sky blue smoke resonating off his eyes, he says "But really a striker without Ego is worthless".

He then carries the ball and looks at Mark who was in goal.

He then shoots a thundering shot, straight to him.

Marks eyes glow a strong golden, he then raises his hand up to the sky and a large golden hand resonates from his as he exclaims "GOD HAND!!".

He then uses that hand to save the shot and catches the ball with smoke coming from his hand.

"What the hell are you two doing?!", he exclaims.

Isagi then smiles at him saying "A goalie with an Ego?! Now this is interesting".

Isagi and Bachira both receive a notification on their phones, it was an E-mail. The subject read "New opponent on the horizon".

"We better get going", Isagi says as he begins to leave the pitch with Bachira.

Bachira then looks back at Axel and says "One day I want to see your Ego".

As the two leave the pitch, Mark runs to Axel who was still on the ground saying "Bro, are you good?".

But he gets no response, he then tries to grab his hand and lift him up but Axel slaps his hand away and gets up himself.

He grabs the ball from Mark and places it on the ground.

He looks at the ball but he didn't see it rather he saw fire, flames all over the pitch. The pitch was engulfed in flames with burnt animals scattered all over, he looked back at Mark but all he saw a body burnt to ashes with only some bones left.

He looks back at the ball and finally saw it then with his bright red eyes and says "Incinerate", he then shoots the ball fiercely straight to the goal and scores.

Then asks a question, a question that scared Mark beyond his wildest belief, "Is this an EGO".
