Chapter 1 Coach

Оглавление

– Well done guys. – I said Yuri Gromov to their football coach. But my friends call me Thunder. – My children. Today we won, even though the enemy was strong. – I praised my football team. The aliens liked the game so much that championships were held constantly. I myself have participated in them. Although three years ago I was expelled from the national team. The old one has become, they say thirty-five hit me. Although for the current year two thousand one hundred and fifty-three is not a bad age for an athlete. But I got in trouble with the law. The former governor of my planet Saturn forbade playing football in the yards and near his palace. I rebelled. Blocked roads. The law, of course, was quickly removed. But I was removed. So I run the local junior team. Boys from ten to fifteen years old. Smart guys. At least some. Under my leadership, we won the championship of the planet. Although we were defeated at the regional ones. Nothing will break through next year. – Practice tomorrow. Don’t hang out with ladies. I smiled. That he was not young. Went home. The guys will take care of themselves. Moreover, their parents drove up behind them.

I walk down the street. The beauty. The fires do not go out and the nature is not polluted. Beauties from Alpha Centauri walked nearby, they call themselves Deruvs. But we Earthlings call them Elves. They have pointed ears and pale skin. They themselves say that they flew to earth in the distant past. It is from them that we got the legends about the elves. I don’t like them. Painfully cunning and strong. But still, so far we are peaceful. At least those that are in our planets. The war has been between us for a long time. I participated in it myself. As long as there is a strained peace between us. Not like the Casiopeians. Race directly orcs from fairy tales. Warriors with heavy blasters. Strong. They feed on us. But we’re holding on.

– Here you are Mirte – I said spitting. A poster of our new dictator stands and smiles ahead. An old man in his fifties. Three years in power. It was quiet on our provincial planet. But there was a lot of destruction and pogroms on Earth. Even though it’s calm now. But the galactic council did not like it. They kicked us out of it. Even though we didn’t have much of a voice. So representation. All cases were resolved without our knowledge. At least there was peace. Sports are cancelled. They want to destroy the economy. Just animals. I go further. There are five races in the council of planets. They call themselves the chosen ones. These are Casiopeians, Lirepurami, Scorpios, Catalni, Deruvses. The rest of the races are disenfranchised and do not have a vote in the council. Although they are involved. Straight to the UN in the old days. But we are not there and it is bad. Being in the council, albeit minimal, is a sign of the development of the state.

– Do you have cigarettes? – Asked a hoarse voice. The guy stood in the shadows and held a blaster in his hand. It shone so beautifully, reminding me of past wars where I was a soldier. Reliable weapon. It burns people through. You have to be careful.

– Smoke hunting. Treat. Dad. – Two others of the same kind in leather jackets came out from around the corner. I understood their intentions immediately. Although we have a good planet, there is crime. Many bandits fled the Earth from persecution. There are also many rebels. But I don’t trust them. The same criminals as the authorities.

– Guys, I’m an athlete. I’ll beat myself and I don’t understand. I hit hard and accurately. – Not in vain at one time he served in the space landing force for five years. Two wars for satellites passed. Even though he was shot in the stomach. We fought against the council. But they lost and lost ground. But then they didn’t crush us, but forgave us and let us into the council. They liked our culture. They fade away. For too many years they live in abundance, unlike us.

– We only talk. Don’t worry, we’re not punks. The leader came up to me. He didn’t remove the blaster. He took out a document from his pocket and unfolded it in front of me. – Sergeant Belov OSO (special secret department).

– Ugh you. Scared. – I said, although I myself reached into my pocket and quickly dialed the number of my flatmate on the phone. He answered and listens. – If I knew that OSO would come to me in the apartment, I would wash the floors, tidy up. – This is our secret password with him. Igor is in my debt. I drank a lot before. How the wife went to the rally and was shot. But now he has recovered and lives not badly. I even found a bride. I hope he will have time to enter my apartment and erase everything from the hard drive of the computer. – What article? By disapproval or by calls to something? – I said, playing for time. The phone vibrated once. Relieved. So the neighbor managed to erase everything. I smiled. “Maybe for a too pretty smile. Now you don’t understand what they can plant for.

– Wrong citizen think. Don’t arrest you. Our leader wants to see you. There is a conversation. – Approached the second with a scar on his cheek. – He needs you. Football hero. I was rooting for you as a child. When the Scorpions won in the final. Your goal in the last minutes helped me and the lady light up. She bet that we would lose. I owe you a lot. I have never had such a time in my life. Even though she became my wife. But forgive me for that.

The blow was fast. Clearly a master of his craft. I fell into the void. There is nothing to fear. He wrote only from the left addresses and under pseudonyms. I shouldn’t be tracked down. Maybe the ruler wants to brag about me. He is said to be interested in football. Take a couple of photos and release. Tomorrow is training. How are the children. Although a replacement will be quickly found for me. The parents of these children paid me a salary. They are not poor people.

– Well, hero get up. Our champion. Our pride. The public’s favorite.

The voice was clearly female. Pleasant. Thin. I felt a hand on my cheek. Warm. Tender. Apparently it didn’t work hard. Office means. But not a firing squad. They have tougher hands. He served two months for that rally against the abolition of football. They put me up against the wall three times. They were looking for accomplices. Where can I get them. I’m not a politician, I’m an athlete. Football is my life. I don’t really care who is in power. Moreover, they paid me well. Talent was from childhood. And in my life I have not lost it like many before me.

What a big beard you have. Gotta shave. The ruler doesn’t like that. He’s not like you. ha ha

Laughs. Sweet laugh. What did they give me? The mind is in a fog. Although it may be from a blow. Opened my eyes. I’m indoors. Indoors. There are only two of us here. Me and a beautiful girl no older than twenty. She is wearing a beautiful blue uniform of the special services. Correctly I thought. Office means to ferret out secrets wants. And the fact that my head is in her lap is a trick. Although the legs in this mini are beautiful. You don’t see these every day. Stroked them with his hand. She didn’t even react. She just laughed even louder. Not even tights. She has warm feet. Smells like lavender. Pleasant spirits. And how does it taste.

– Let’s stop there for now. We don’t even know each other yet. Although I have known you since childhood. You are my hero. Galaxy champion. Although the former. We never won the championship again. They didn’t even qualify for the qualifiers last year. And now we are generally thrown out of the championships.

– Good. I stop. – And the legs are delicious. Just the right thing. She rubs them with honey. Apparently she was getting ready to meet me.

– I’m Lieutenant Maria Nilova.

– I was born on the Nile. Correctly?

– Are you in the thunder or something. No, I’m in Asia, Novosibirsk. And don’t distract me. I am your escort to our great leader Mirta. Good and fair.

– Let’s make a deal right now. – I said, adjusting my sports uniform and checking my pockets. As I thought, they are empty. – Without this nonsense about the great leader. I’m a footballer, not a politician. I don’t care who rules where. Football is my world.

– Deal. The beautiful girl took my hand. Haven’t had one like this for a long time. As the team was thrown out. Everyone turned away from me. The wife is gone. As I learned to the pianist. Break off his hands. Although he plays with the power of thought. – You are wonderful. I fell in love with you from the first grade.

– What? She can’t be that young. Or am I that old?

You weren’t even sixteen yet. You in the youth team played on the ground with the Lirepurs. Well, those with two heads. They are terrible. Strong. But you single-handedly defeated their team. I was at the stadium that day with my parents. She told them so. Truth. That I love you. And I will get married. They laughed so hard.

– It was a long time ago. You will find yourself better than the old footballer. You are a beautiful lady. – I examined her. The figure is straight fire. Maybe she did plastic surgery. Although he can go to the gym. Work is nerve-wracking. Whose mistress or daughter is she. Probably a major or general. They are the only people who are in positions like this. She does not pull on a mistress. The chest is painfully large and she is not a man. Our upper classes have strange tastes. I myself have been to private parties more than once. Barely left alive. “So where are we?” – I looked around the room. But there were no windows.

– We are my dear, that’s where. She got up from the bed. Went to the wall. I pressed a couple of buttons and the wall moved aside. Darkness with small dots. The scariest sight in the world for me. My fear. Open space. – On the Soyuz Eighty-Six. The number of planets in our power. Although many of them are unsuitable for life. The pride of a dictator. His swallow. We fly to Earth to the palace of the dictator Mirta. He has a conversation. Which one I don’t know. He didn’t report to me. I didn’t ask. What’s wrong with you?

Fear took over me. I started gasping for air. It started not too long ago. All my life I’ve been wandering around the universe and it’s normal. But here’s how they threw me into space for three minutes after the rally so that I would split. So I began to be afraid of space. Dropped five times. Laughed more. “Another would have died, and you are alive. At least for you, write a new textbook about survival in space. Here are office creatures. Hatred overwhelmed me. People like her are to blame. Creatures. Grabbed her thin neck. I began to press.

– What are you doing? Let go. Have pity on me.” My victim began to wheeze. You don’t regret anything like me. I saw how they carried the corpses in bags out of the cells.

– Die bastard. – I shouted at length.

I did not attach importance to the blow to the back of the head. The other one who followed him again plunged me into the void. Into the darkness I remember only two blue eyes. Beautiful eyes. And plump lips. I should have kissed them. I remembered something, classmate Elvira Cyclops had the same lips. And I remembered my first kiss with her. But then she left me. The war between us has begun. She was taken away. So then we never met. Even though I didn’t look for it. There were many other problems.

You woke up handsome. – Said the familiar voice of the lieutenant, who stroked my head.

– Yes. I wake up slowly. I’m sorry. I have a fear of vacuum.

– You are the one to blame. I have read about it in my personal file. I should have given you some pills. She suddenly kisses me on the cheek. – I’m not offended. You are still my hero.

– You are my heroine then it turns out. – I smiled at her. She’s a clerk, but she’s cute. – And by the way, how did they take such a cutie into the office. There you have to learn a lot and be able to shoot.

– I studied at the best institute as a diplomat. But I have always wanted to help my country.

– Well, yes. – She helps. Throw people into space or hammer nails into their knees. Here’s what you do. The homeland is protected in a different way. “I’m just glad you were sent to me.

– Ouch. And I’m glad. She kissed me on the cheek again. That she is like a child. The lady is an adult. Pulled and kissed, as expected. – Not so fast. I’m not ready yet.

– Okay dear. – That’s the bastard. The body teases, but how it came to the bushes. She reminded me of my first wife. She did the same.

I lay on her knees for five minutes. It was nice and soft. She was silent, only smiled and fed grapes. It’s a pity I didn’t take an Enturian as a slave when they offered it. They are just as helpful and do not need care at all. True, they look like ancient harpies. Girls with wings and beak place mouth. I don’t like those. Although if in my old age I will buy one. Yes, the new dictator brought back slavery. Only for people. They are half insects and live up to three hundred years.

– Dear passengers, we are arriving on Earth. The hatches will open automatically. No tantrums. – Said a strong male voice. That’s the one who hit me. I will have to thank him. Jaw punch.

– Yuri take the pill. The cutie handed me a red pill. When I took it, I touched the neck, on which there were marks from my hands. We don’t want a repeat of the incident.

– Yes, lieutenant. – I swallowed a pill. It clicked in my head. The world has become white. Then he returned to normal.

The hatch opened. How beautiful and there is no panic. Miracle remedy. He got up and went to the hatch. The earth is beautiful. The whole planet is one continuous city. Ships fly like a swarm of bees. A huge space elevator ahead.

– We’re going to the elevator. Have you always dreamed of riding it? – I said excitedly. On previous trips to Earth, I was simply teleported to the stadium. To avoid illness before the match. There is nothing to be afraid of now.

– Yes. The leader knew that you would want it and organized everything. She came up behind me and hugged me. – The Motherland appreciates such talents as your Grom.

– That’s what my friends call me. Although for such a cutie, I will make exceptions. – How to strangle you spy. Maybe there will be an opportunity in the elevator.

Our ship flew up to the mega elevator without any problems. Other ships made way. Knowing that it is better to skip such transport. Which of the captains wants to swim in space.

– Well, all the hero let’s go to the elevator. You will like it there so beautiful.

A beautiful girl took my hand and we left the cabin. Passed two bulkheads. Twelve strong guys in unmarked black uniforms stepped into the elevator. Here are her guards. She’s definitely the general’s daughter. I didn’t like the elevator, to my chagrin. Regular waiting room. This is in any space port. You stand in line, although not long. You sit in an elevator and three minutes of weightlessness and you are on Earth. Without joy and delight. How embarrassing. Although this trip made a splash on my companion.

– It was so cool. I liked it so much. Let Thunder often travel like this?

– You haven’t forgotten. You are my escort to meet a man I can’t stand. We’re not on a date. Of course, you are pleasant to me, but do not forget. And it’s not for me to remind you of this.

– Buka you. Here is our car, follow me. I have long wanted to see you. And you broke my whole buzz.

It was evident that Maria was offended. She pouted her lips and made an angry muzzle. Although pleasant. Wanted to talk to her. But she refused. So we drove in silence. So I started looking out the window of a tinted car. Maybe she’s armored. But I would put on a barrier. The view of the city calmed me down. Pleasant buildings no higher than five floors. There are trees and happy people everywhere. Although there were many soldiers with blasters. And passing the alley I saw how a girl of eighteen years old was being led to execution. Didn’t hear the shot. But maybe he was. This is what paradise looks like according to our dictator. A beautiful facade, but a rusty core. Total fear and obedience. Although on the outskirts of his country there is less control.

– Passengers look at the rights. – Said the rough male voice of the captain. He also works as a driver. “This is the palace of our dictator Mirte. May his reign be eternal.

– We’ll be there soon. Maria finally spoke up. So you need to shave. She got everything she needed for the occasion. “Yourself or I can help.

– Myself. I can take a beard pill without help. You didn’t think I was using this junk. I took the electric razor and threw it on the floor. Who do they take me for? For the cave dweller. Such devices have not been used for fifty years. Then he took a pill. The hair on my beard began to fall out. Convenient thing. Although after it and dizzy. But not for long, five minutes.

Now he will take you. Maria laughed, but then she said seriously. – And maybe not executed. You have a long tongue. In all senses.

I argue, did not. All my life my character has let me down. Maybe even more silent. Even though I can’t live like this.

In the distance I saw him. Ruler’s Palace. The most beautiful building I’ve ever seen, apart from spilled condensed milk on a naked cheerleader in my hotel room. All white, he was supposed to inspire awe. He coped with this task. High under two hundred floors. How long will the dictator have to fall if I throw him off. These thoughts made me smile. Mary got it all wrong.

– I like the palace. I fell right in love with him. Built in just a year. under his personal supervision.

– How many people died on the construction of this sarcophagus?

– No more than a hundred for sure. Although ten designers were shot after. They put toilets next to the kitchen. And he doesn’t like it. I was there only once. When my hero received a referral to you.

– What is a hundred people for such a yes? All of you are the same. Office rats. – I said, seeing how she winced. I wanted to kiss my nose. It hurts, he’s cute. But he didn’t. “Although you are the cutest of rats. I would take you in a cage to live with me.

– If you ask well, I can and will agree. She winked at me. No wonder they say that people with a normal psyche do not go to such bodies. Especially in the twenty-second century.

Fortunately, we drove up, and the conversation ended there. Her obsession with me scared me. I knew such fans. At first, everything goes smoothly with them. But as they get to know me better, scandals suit me. All of them are wrong. Not according to their stupid fantasies. For now, though, it’s good for me. I can speak freely with her. Still won’t give up. If you wanted me for such words, they would have been thrown into space long ago.

Near the palace we were met by an old bald butler in a tailcoat. There was no security. Although it was not required. To enter the palace, we passed three checkpoints. Such a barrier to resistance will not pass. They don’t even try. They are waiting.

– I welcome you guests of the Palace of Justice and Happiness. I am his butler Sergey Dedul. He smiled happily and bowed. – Great person. Our support and protection awaits you. You, dear Maria, are waiting on the first floor in the bar. He wants to talk to our guest Yuri in private. If so, I’ll let you know. And you will get another appointment.

– I’ll be waiting for your arrival. Maria kissed me on the cheek and went to the palace. Then she turned on the white marble stairs and said. – My hero. Survive. “Then she quickly left.

The butler just shrugged. Apparently he didn’t care. There are many guests like me. Leaving less. He walked forward with his brisk gait. I followed him. I thought that the palace of such a dictator would look like a dark crypt with torture chambers and gallows. But no, inside there were people in beach clothes. The first floor reminded me more of a simple resort hotel. Nice music played. There are no screams and groans. Although there are enough of them in the basements. As I heard. Although I live in the provinces, I have access to the dark Internet.

The nice girl at the reception desk smiled at us and said while straightening her purple hair.

– Oh, new guest. Do you want a room with a view of the statue of the ruler or the sea?

– He’s not on vacation. He is his guest.

Said grandfather pointing fingers up. Who does this dictator take himself for? He aims too high. I touched the piece of metal in my hand behind my sleeve. Good. I hid a small ice pick while we were driving. Maybe today will be his last day. How good life will be.

– That’s good. Elevator to the left. You know the password.

– I’ll figure it out somehow. – Said the old man.

We went to the elevator. Portraits of the dictator in various poses were everywhere. A statue describing his exploits. How he disgusts me. Three years of his reign is the worst time in my life. But then the elevator with pleasant music reached the two hundredth floor. We went along a long narrow white corridor. It was empty. White carpets, white doors. Everything is white. What’s in this guy’s head.

– Here’s your door.

The old man said as he stopped at a door without a sign. – The main thing is not to be rude to him. He is strict. But he loves to talk. So good luck. He left and waved at the elevator. The door closed behind him. I was left alone. Fear ran down my back. I will see him. Even the thought alone is scary. He is the destroyer of millions. Appeared out of nowhere three years ago. Seized power. Keeps everyone oppressed. Beast, not man. I took a deep breath and entered. Didn’t knock. Much honor for such carrion.

– Peace be upon you hero Yuri. – Said the old man in the red tunic. He was exactly like in the portraits. Domineering. Proud. Nasty. Slippery. An animal in human form.

Yes, Mirta. I came. – I started getting closer. The room was basic. Only a desk and two chairs. The window is open, behind it is a balcony. Here is my goal. – For your soul. I quickly approached him. He took out a knife and plunged it into his heart. Sparks went out of him. He turned out to be an android. He fell, I began to rejoice and beat him with my feet. – This is the end of you creature.

Bravo Yuri. – Said a female voice. That’s how I imagined our meeting. – The lady appeared out of thin air. You can see a masking field on it. “I am Mirte, the real and the only one. But in order not to glow, I chose this prototype. As you can see it is easy to replace. Another android entered the room.

– But how? You were our Minister of Education Elena Sidorovich. Support of the Republic. How could you betray her ideals.

She’s rotten from the inside. Only in this way could we escape the invasion of the galactic council. And their Enturian slaves. Corpse-eater races. Upon learning of the president’s betrayal, I removed him. He wanted to make a contract with him to sell people. They would eat them. Here are the bastards. I missed the first batch of three hundred million. But she couldn’t take it anymore. Every restaurant in the galaxy is filled with people. Such horror.

– But your methods are no better. Many people were killed.

– Whom? Tell me at least one last name.

– Well. – I hesitated. People disappeared. But I didn’t know where. I didn’t see any bodies either. – I do not know. But they certainly were. I think so. I only saw how the bags were taken out of the cells. I did not see the bodies themselves.

– You’re a fool. All prisoners are sent to the planet Paradise. There they live in paradise and are happy.

– And what about my torture. – I showed the scar on the right leg from the overseer’s iron.

– It’s all in your head. There is no scar. And torture in reality too. It was all holograms for you to confess. My new way of interrogation. Look. – They came up to me. She took out the device and ran it over her leg. The scar is gone. – Here you see. Nice hologram. But it goes away with the emission of these impulsive waves. I found the technology during an archaeological expedition to Mars many years ago. But the government banned its development. Here are the fools. The old republic disgusts me.

– But how can that be? – I was completely dumbfounded and confused words. All I thought about was the dictator of the lodges. Even who he is. This woman is my ideal in life. My idol. She saved us all from war for many years. Fight for equality and justice. I personally voted for her in the elections. But she lost them. Maybe everything was set up. The world appeared before me in its true light. Recovering a little, I said. Elena, why did you call me? I will do everything for you. You know I voted for you.

– I was very upset when our football team was kicked out of the galaxy championship. I always liked him. My late husband loved watching it. This is his memory. I gave a lot of bribes for this. But we were allowed into the final part of the championship. Only three games and we are in the semi-finals. This will be announced tomorrow. But there was a condition. Another team will go from us. I have decided that you will be his coach. The team is waiting for you at the training camp. I chose the players myself. Nearly. They are all nice guys. There are ladies too. Don’t hate them.

“I will do anything for you,” I repeated. “Is there a car waiting for me downstairs?” Correctly?

– Yes. And let Mary go with you. She is your team captain. The girl plays well and is faithful to me. She saw my doubtful faces and continued. Don’t worry, she played football. And most importantly Yuri. Don’t tell anyone who I am. I nodded and started walking towards the exit. By the way, champion. Stop writing nasty things about me under the pseudonym Champ88. It hurts me to read that I am an old and bald grandfather. She smiled a beautiful smile. Ladies under fifty. “Otherwise, you will be my first person to be executed personally.”

I took a sip and left. Maybe she’s not as kind as I thought. The elevator played a familiar tune. I recognized her. This is the anthem of the Ministry of Education. Everything came together in my head. The face of a dictator is a collective image of the rulers of the past. Maria met me on the first floor near the bar. A young boy in short black swimming trunks, with the body of an athlete, was clearly rolling up to her. She didn’t like it.

– The lady is with me. Puppy aside. I said proudly. I am the coach of the national team. Dreamed about it all my life. Wings appeared on my back. I can fly straight.

– Who said that? He turned around. Big boo. Head above me. He is from new people. With altered DNA. Bred specifically for the war with the council.

– Don’t fight boys. I’ll go with the hero. And you, Petya, go while you’re safe. She took a small blaster out of her purse. When he saw him, he backed away and plunged into the pool. Everyone laughed. “Let’s go faster before he realizes it’s not loaded.”

She and I ran to the car at the entrance. Let’s go to the space port. These are the adventures that await me. After all, managing a team is a difficult task. Especially the new team. With such a captain.
