Рамиль Латыпов "Galaxy Coach"

– 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.

Chapter 2В Training

– What do you say, does the coach like the base? – Asked Maria when we flew to the base on Mars. —

– Good base – I said. It looks like a lot of money was spent on it. Everything is new and clean. New lawn. It’s too bad that this money was wasted. We are unlikely to win at least one game.

– Cheer up coach. The most interesting is ahead. I’ll introduce you to the team. She took me to the field. It all started there. Two teams played a match. Some are in red t-shirts, others are in blue. Everyone is young and beautiful. Lots of ladies. What made me happy. They are beautiful, I can walk with them. That’s what I’ve always done with the team. Once even with a nurse was. These memories make me smile. The team thought I was glad to meet you. Here’s a bunch of nerds. Yes, I and my team in the best years of ten zero would have beaten them. But many friends no longer exist. Exiled for political remarks. Some died from anabolic steroids. Sports do not tolerate weakness.

I sat in the head coach’s chair. People came to meet me. Then I gave the order and they continued the game. It is clear that they played poorly. Only Nilova played well. I was approached by an assistant coach and my friend from the national team. Defender Pedro Liones. Not a bad player. But badass.

– Hi, friend. What do you think of their game?

– To tell you honestly or lie. – I said laughing. A friend handed me a bottle of kvass. We went nuts.

– Don’t be hard on them. The best who is. And most importantly. He said in my ear. – Not involved in political activities. Well, except for the captain. But she is a beautiful girl and the judges like her. We might skip.

“They will definitely let us in.” Will they throw stones at us? For the fact that we attacked the Casiopeans and captured their fleet. Some of the planets even.

– Well, this galactic council is quite insolent. They want us to live the way they want. But we are patriots. And they had rights to these planets and ships.

– You’re a patriot Pedro. I laughed. I myself caught him reading forbidden literature in the locker room. Even in the best years of the republic, there was a lot of such waste paper. The intrigues of the galactic brainwashing council. As a result, it is clear that they succeeded. Everyone went crazy.

– When it’s beneficial. I left the team. He spent three years in a colony. Made a team there. Won the championship between the colonies. Mirte personally chose me. He knows that I don’t want to go back and I will obey him in everything. Yuri we live in a world that is so unlike ours before. Everything was simple there. Now everything is difficult. Any word and you are the enemy. Although you might not even want to. He closed his eyes, apparently remembering his prison years. – Be careful. There are a lot of scammers here.

– I already understood that. But let’s talk about the team. How are you training them?

– Five three two. The simplest scheme. We have two hitters. Nilova and Mess. He insisted on such a scheme. It’s hard to argue with him. Maybe you can curb him. I could not. Let me introduce you to him better. He raised his hand and a tall man in his twenties approached us. New growth of DNA of the changed people. The pride of the new administration.

– Was your name Pedro? – He said in a hoarse voice.

– Coach Gromov wants to talk about tactics. You don’t listen to me.

The two-meter strong man looked at me with obvious surprise. They are born with aВ sense ofВ their superiority over ordinary people.

– I appreciated your game and I’ll tell you right away. You suck. There is no defense at all. Attack not played. You’re pulling the blanket too much on yourself. Nilova could score several times. But you didn’t pass. I’m changing your position on the field. You are now a central midfielder.

– How so. I am the best player on the team. Nilova cannot run fast like me and I have a three percent more accurate shot.

– This is my decision. Do not argue. – I said loudly so that everyone could hear, because on the field everyone played at half strength listening to our conversation. – Who will argue with me will not get a place in the base for the next match. So decide for yourself.

– Good coach. – The strong man said and began to leave. A tambourine about yourself. – I won’t leave it like that. The dictator will know about it. He himself chose me as an attacker.

Well you built it. That’s how it should be with them. It’s good that you are with us. We may have a chance. They are like children. These altered ones are maturing quickly. He is only two years old. Here he is behaving like a child. But with him we have a chance.

– I doubt it. I laughed. We are good friends. But I can’t do miracles.

So the day passed. My requirement was met and the team played at the level of my yard team. Well, there is still time. But the opponent won’t give us a chance.

– Okay guys. That’s all for today. Rest until tomorrow. But no nonsense.

The team happily headed toВ the shower room. IВ went for aВ walk around the city. Marscity. Never been on it. But IВ read aВ lot about its beautiful streets with shops.

I left the sports complex. Yes, it’s beautiful here. The sky is so red. But the air is pure mountainous. The best place for sports. Mary ran up to me. Well, where without a spy and an escort.

– Yuri wait. – She screamed as she ran towards me in her red heels. I love her legs. Especially in this mini. She didn’t wear tights. Maybe underwear too.

– Yes, I’m waiting. How can you not wait for such a lady. I said and smiled. You need to oil your escort. Maybe he will give money for ice cream. My pockets are empty. Just a key card from the room. Good thing our food is free. Mirte’s innovation.

– I wanted to show you the city and your hotel. You didn’t want to spend the night outside, did you?

– I thought there would be a fan of her and spend the night.

The lady blushed. She obviously didn’t get the joke. I can already find my hotel by the signs. Too bad I don’t have my phone with me.

– My room is next to yours. The team sleeps in the sports complex. But I didn’t want to live there. Too sweaty.
