Prelude To Terror II
Hello. This is my first try in making a Prince Of Tennis fanfic, and though I'm quite drawn to the plot and characters, I'm not good with romantic or sports-oriented plot-making, but I'm willing to try some ideas that I could think of. Though I haven't watched all the complete episodes, I was able to get a hold on some of the pivotal characters.
When I scanned some of the fics most of them contained romances, spice of life, drama and mostly sports-oriented. So I decided to try out something which this category lacked: action. So here I decided to try out something to attract fans who wanted to see something new and unique. It'll be a combination of action and suspense.
Also this fic will serve as a tie-in to my upcoming 2009 Detective School Q (aka Detective Academy Q/Tantei Gakuen Q) fic. This fic will play an important role for this serves as a prequel of sorts. Well, I leave it up to you to see the aforementioned fic.
Aside from Ryoma and the gang, I'll be featuring other sports-oriented characters from other sports anime series such as Captain Tsubasa and Big Windup!, as they'll be playing a bit of a support role.
And so without further ado, here is the first chapter.

Tokyo. It has been a few days since the start of the semestral break that the students of Seigaku High are now enjoying their break. No more lessons, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks. Although there is price they have to pay: No one is occupying the tennis court at this time since most of the Seigaku team are on vacation. Well, most of them. Ryoma Echizen is at home spending time with his pet cat Karupin, they were on bed and he is petting his fur while giving him some food. This was a perfect time to bond together since particiapting in tournaments and practicing after school took away most of his time and now they can spend quality time together.
"Just you and me, Karupin...it's been months since we get to spend together..."
Then his mother knocked the door of his bedroom and the "prodigy" got up as he heard her said something behind the door.
"Ryoma-dear...you have a phone call. it's Takashi Kawamura and he wants to talk to you."
Gently placing karupin on the floor he dashed towards the living room and picked up the phone. There he got the call and the two teammates began speaking and they got into a conversation which seems to have gauge Ryoma's interest, and this led to his agreement to meet up with the others.
"A sports equipment shop in a mall, huh?"
"Yup...and I promise you'll find a lot of rackets that you can choose from. Believe me, you need to replace your old one…"
"I'll bring my racket to make comparisons…then I'll decide whether to replace it or not. Ryoma out."
After hanging the phone he took out his current racket and glances at it, though he sees a few scars and some signs of wear and tears saw no indication that it needs replacement and yet he decided to bring it along. As he left the house he saw his father, Nanjiro sipping tea and he asked his son where he is going.
"A sports kit house at the Tokyo Mall."
"At last…my son gets to see lots of chicks…"
"In your dreams, pops."
"Care to have a game with me?"
"What are the stakes?"
"If you win, you can do what you want…if I win…you go find lots of pretty girls to date."
"I won't lose…"
The father and son began to get into a tennis battle and exchange a barrage of techniques, such as the Twist Serve and the Twist Serve Tornado, though Nanjiro was a step ahead of him and began using tennis swings like using a samurai sword. Not wanting tobe left behind he tried using other techniques such as the Drive A and Drive B, but in the end he lost and he had to endure some hilarious taunting where he must find girls to date with.

At a bush behind the Echizen house, there was someone holding a video camera and is recording Ryoma's tennis match with his father and is focused only at Ryoma. As Ryoma left the house the stalker continued to follow the Seigaku ace while hopping inside a tinted van.

On their way to the mall he met up with Kawamura while Momoshiro and Kaidoh seem to be bickering to no end. As they are walking by, they encountered a group that they never thought to expect. Digimons! There are four of them and they are Gotsumons. They seem to be mischievous and are provoking the four traveling Seigaku teammates to a fight.
"You…wanna fight with us?"
"You with the bandana and ugly face…bet you can't masturbate."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU DIGI-FREAK??!!"
Kaidoh added some taunting to Momoshiro.
"Admit it…you never done that since you spent only 30 seconds in the bathroom…"
"YOU WANT A FIGHT WITH ME??!!"
Kawamura just smiled as Ryoma stepped forward to confront the foursome Digimons.
"So you came to us to fight us? In tennis?"
"Why play tennis when we can beat your bloody face?"
He glances at the four and shook his head sideways.
"Mada mada dane…go back to your place and play tennis…come back only if you're good enough…so better not waste our time and go catch a mouse…"
"GRR…you'll pay for that insult…let's get him!"
The four Gotsumons began to lynch towards the "Prince Of Tennis" but he was prepared for this and since he is not in school he now have a reason to get in a fight. Taking out his trusted racket he glances a the first Digimon who is jumping towards him mid-air. He executed the Twist Serve that sent the first Gotsumon smashing against a parked car and dazed him. Looking at his right side was the second Gotsumon jumping down and he used the Cyclone Smash which sent the Digiomon smashing against his fellow fallen Digimon. Kawamura, Kaidoh and Momoshiro could only watch in awe that Ryoma could use his techniques in fighting.
The two remaining Gotsumons are now feeling fear seeing how a mere human could take down two of their fellow Digimons and vowed to get revenge as they picked up their two comrades and fled. Ryoma then glanced at his racket and was visibly disappointed. His racket had several dents and now he had to find a replacement.
"Now, now…we'll get you a new one. I'll pay for it. Believe me…once we get to the mall we'll have a lot of fun. Now let's get going before we get delayed should more Digimons show up."
As the four Seigaku members left they are unaware that the van that been watching Ryoma is still there, and it just recorded more of Ryoma's skills and how he handled himself against the four Digimons. The van started to move again as it stealthily followed the four tennis players hoping to see the other three showcase their tennis skills.
To Be Continued…
Hope you like the first chapter. Please don't be hard on me since this is my first try. More will be showcased when the next chapter appears. And there you get to see more of Ryoma in a situation you never seen before.
