Book cover by @_Yumarine-
It's been half an hour the game has begun, Coach Aizawa and Ai seems like already make friends, but they were more like a father and a daugther having a serious conversation.
"Oh, can the player hit the baseball after it bounces?"
"If the pitch touches the ground and bounces through the strike zone, it is a 'ball'. If such a pitch touches the batter, the ball becomes dead and he shall be awarded first base. It is recorded as a hit by pitch." Coach Aizawa explained briefly.
The whole half an hour, they were just talking about the sport while Metal Bat had internal crisis just by looking how close they were. He stood up and paste a force smile on his face, looking at the old man, "I see you two are quite chatter today. I'm going to grab drinks and some snacks."
"Snack? I'm in!" Ruby jumped to his shoulder. "Okay." Both Ai and Aizawa replied and continued with the 'baseball' topic.
Bad felt he received a deep cut on his chest with their respond, especially from Ai. He expected she will follow him.
Am I that boring, Ai?, he thought and left the dugout with Ruby.
"Tch that old man..." Just thinking of it making him mad. Of course, he was jealous. Then, he let a deep sighed and head to the food stalls.
"You seems sad, Bad. What's wrong?" Ruby asked. "Nahh.. nothing." He patted the fox. "Have you ever date someone before this?" She asked, making he more uneasy with that.
"Actually I-" They were cut off by a sudden loud scream from the stadium.
//inside the stadium//
TING!
"Oh! Zenko hits the ball!" Ai said. Noises from the crowd started getting louder and louder, cheering for her.
"Zenko hurry! They got the ball!" All her teammates shouting at her when the opponent managed caught the ball, while Zenko almost reach to the second base. As she about to reach the base, the ground started shaking badly.
"What?" Zenko stopped and all the players on the field losing their balance. Not for so long, there's a big monster appeared from the underground. Zenko and the other players nearby were flown away from the scene due the impact from below.
"AHHHH!!"
As Zenko thought she will be hitting on the ground painfully, she landed safely on something. "Onee chan?" She slowly opened her eyes, and saw her favourite hero. Ai smiled to her, "Hold tight, kiddo."
Before she could respond, they were moving as fast a speed of light, Zenko and a few players that flown away were already at the dugout. "Huh?" All of them were confused with the situation.
"Aizawa, get them out from here. I will slow down the monster. Hurry up!" Ai said and he nodded. "Girls, follow me. Make sure everyone in group!" He said and leading them to the exit.
As Ai too busy making sure all the kids get out safely, the monster launched the attack right at her, and before she could dodge, she was flown away, hitting the wall. She lost her balance and focus as she stood up. Without any warning, the monster grabbed her. "Arghh!" She grunted in pain as the monster tighten his grip.
"You caught me at first half, but you are just a weak creature after all." The monster laughed and tighten his grip more making Ai spitting blood from her mouth.
"Now, I'm going to smash your fragile body!"
SLASH!
In a split of second, the monster screamed in pain as he lost his left hand and his green blood splattered everywhere.
"Take that, you ugly monster!" Ruby shouted and landed nearby to Metal Bat, securing Ai in his arms. "Let me down, Bad. I'm fine." Ai insisted him, with her weak voice.
"No." Metal Bat refused. "Ruby, I will take care the monster from here. Bring her to the old man." He said and Ruby nodded her head. He gently put Ai on Ruby's back.
"I still.. can fight.." Ai insisted. "I'm going to kill you if you do that, Ai." Metal Bad warned.
"Behind you Bad!" Ruby shouted.
Fuck, he thought.
A loud sound could be heard by everyone outside the stadium and they were watching the scene, horrifically.
"N-No! Oni chan! Ai! Ruby!" Zenko screamed. She about to rush to the scene, Aizawa grabbed her before she could do so. "Let me go! They are in there!" Zenko shouted.
"They are not weak, Zenko." He said.
//back to inside stadium//
The stadium was covered in dust after the monster launched his attack towards Metal Bat, Ai and Ruby.
"Die you weak creatures!" The monster laughed, thinking he had killed all of them. Once the dust fade away, the monster getting more angry and annoyed as he saw they were all alive, inside a giant light shield.
"WHAT?!" He shouted angrily.
"Now... it's your chance Bad." Ai said before she passed out due she using all of her energy to cast the spell, and the shield disappeared. "I'll leaving now. Stay alive, Bad." Ruby said and left the scene.
Metal Bat turned to the monster with a smirk on his face. "Well well... look who's here ruined my sister day, and hurting my girl.." Then, he knock his head using his bat causing his head bleeding badly.
The monster was taken back by his action and confused. "Now, let's end this quick." He smirked.
