Ever since the first year of Highschool, Miku's team has been labeled the worst baseball team to ever play against any other baseball teams in Japan. No matter how hard they played in practice or memorized the official handbook, Miku's team was still considered the worst to have ever played at a game. Miku however wasn't going to let mere words get the better of her and neither did her close friends Rin Kagomine. All they need is someone to teach them the ways of baseball. All they need is help to no longer be underdogs or the butt of every joke whenever they walk by other Highschool students.

They need...

"Panda Hero?" Miku, the now second year student repeated.

"Yeah. She's the best player to ever play baseball. She just transferred here from being in the tough part of the streets most of her life," Kaito said eating his ice cream sandwich.

"I heard that as a kid, she attacked a group of gangsters with nothing but a baseball bat, making her swings and hits so perfect from hitting the wannabees across the head so many times," Len said.

"No way, no way. I heard she watched this anime called Paranoia Agent and followed in 'Lil Slugger's footsteps," Piko said.

"Really? You mean she killed people with her bat?"

"What? No! I meant her swings when hitting the ball. She wanted to hit as hard as Shounen Batto."

"Oh. That makes sense."

"Do you guys know where she is now?" Miku asked.

"She's usually hanging out with her good friend Ruko. They're mostly outside in the courtyard hanging out," Len said as Miku dashed her way to the courtyard.

"I don't get why her team never wins. She's so fast," Kaito said.

"I don't know. I guess momentary adrenalin," Len said.

Miku ran through the hallway to find where the courtyard is located and during her search, she saw her good friend Rin waving to her.

"Hey, Miku! Why are you in such a rush?"

"I found the solution to our problems!" Miku breathed holding Rin by the shoulders.

"Really?"

"Yeah, follow me!"

Rin ran behind Miku who then found the doorway to the courtyard. The two girls were out of breath as Miku looked around to see a young teenage girl with short bright green hair. She has black rings under eyes that look like they're tattooed on her along with on her left arm that has different colors on it even though Miku couldn't read what the words say. She was wearing a black cap with a pair of bright pink and black goggles with a black sleeveless shirt, baggy green pants, black sneakers, and fingerless grey gloves.

She was blowing and popping a piece of blue gum in her mouth while playing a video game on her PSP. Beside the bright green-haired girl was Ruko who is the tallest person out of the entire school with one red eye and one blue eye. Ruko wore a black shirt with army colored shorts, and sneakers who was laying on her back with a tired look on her face. Laying on top of Ruko's perfect bust was-

"What the...? Luka?" Miku was surprised to see her third basemen cuddling with the 6 foot 5 hermaphrodite.

That yell made the three look to where Miku and Rin were as Luka said, "Oh, hey, guys. What's up?"

"Hey, Luka!" Rin called out to Luka before running to where the three were still relaxing. "I didn't know you and Ruko are going out."

Luka could feel herself blushing at that. "Yeah. We've been seeing each other for a couple of months now."

"Wow! That long? I didn't know that."

"Yep, I'm one happy dog, yo!" Ruko smiled holding Luka close as Miku walked to where everyone was.

Miku knew who Ruko was and knew she didn't have that many friends because of her being a hermaphrodite, but Miku didn't expect for Luka and Ruko to being going out.

Not that Miku minded or anything, but it's kind of a shock to say the least.

"Congrats. I hope Ruko's treating you well, Luka-chan," Rin said in a parenting tone as Luka giggled at that.

"Are you kidding. She keeps spoiling me. I have to try and get what I need done before Ruko here comes and takes over saying, 'A lady like you shouldn't get your hands dirty. Let me do it for you!'"

"Ruko," Rin said in a playful tone.

"What? It's my job as her boy/girlfriend to do things for her," Ruko said holding Luka tighter who laughed at this.

"So, who's your friend? I've never seen her before," Rin wondered pointing at the girl playing her PSP again.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This is Gumi. She transferred here last month from being in the tough part of Japan," Ruko introduced the tattoo-wearing girl.

"You mean she was in the Red Light District?"

"No!... Well, sort of, but she was in the part where crime was at an all time high and you couldn't leave your car unattended."

"...Oh."

"While she was in that part of the streets, Gumi here got into many fights that involved her using nothing, but her baseball bat."

"Whoa! Really?" Rin gasped in amazement.

"Yep. She also used to protect the weak from the bad guys by fightin' 'em off, yo. So much that the people gave her a name for her acts of bravery. And it's..." Ruko tried to remember Gumi's nickname, but was drawing a blank, "Hey, Gumi, what was it they called you again?"

Gumi turned off her PSP and put it down as from there, she stood up and made a pose with her left arm in the air showing the tattoo's visible writing to Miku and Rin's eyes.

Panda Hero.
