Spells and Louds
Chapter 87: Batter up!
(Royal Woods Baseball Park)
Neil looks to the batter with a serious look. He straightens his red blue baseball cap and holds tightly to the ball.
Peter looks to the pitcher with determination on his eyes.
And Bismuth is confused as to when these guys are going to play already.
"Umm, I don't know what it is with you two. But can we at least play this game already" said Bismuth
Zoom out to the entire baseball park and we see the rest of the teams looking at the pitcher and batter.
"Dad! You and Peter have been gazing menacingly at each other for nearly fifteen minutes! Can we play already!" said Lincoln who is on the outside of the diamond.
Neil then spits on the ground. "Okay, I'll play. Then I'm gonna show this knock off who's the boss here" said Neil.
"Oh so you think you got game? Well guess what, I've got more game than you!" said Peter.
"You wanna go?! Then let's go then!" said Neil as he gets ready.
Peter gets ready as well. "Alright! Bring it! Bring it! Hit me with your best shot!" said Peter.
"You want me to hit you with my best shot?!"
"I want you to hit me with your best shot!"
"Oh I'll hit it alright!"
"Then hit it!"
"Oh you want some?!"
"Oh damn right!"
"Let's do this then!"
"Lock and Load fool!"
"You got nothing!"
"I got something! It's you who's got nothing!"
"Oh you wanna start now?! You wanna start?!"
"Bring it on! Bring it on Spellman!"
"WOULD YOU TWO JUST PLAY ALREAY!" yelled Lynn. At the same time Neil threw the ball way too hard and because of Lynn's yelling he was distracted. "What?"
The ball makes a fast one as it heads straight for Peter. 'This is it!' he says in his thoughts.
And then the ball hits him in the head with a loud thud. And the ball flies upward.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" yelled everyone.
Neil covers his mouth in shock. "Oh jeez!"
Peter drops the bat and falls to the ground.
"Dad!" yelled Sam as she runs to him from the bleachers. Neil also rushes to him.
Bismuth checks if he's okay. "Can you hear me sir?" asked Bismuth.
"Dad! Are you okay?" asked Sam.
"I didn't mean to aim at you!" said Neil with concern.
Peter opens his eyes and looks at them. "Did we win?" asked Peter. Then the ball comes down and lands on his head again rendering him unconscious.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" said everyone again.
"I think he'd fine" said Bismuth.
"At least he's still breathing" said Sam.
"I swear I did not expect that to happen, we were just in the suspenseful moment and I think it went too far" said Neil.
"Yeah, it kinda did" said Bismuth. They then help him back to his team. "I think that one was my bad as well" said Lynn Jr.
"I don't think that was a foul, because there were no feathers on him" said Victor from the announcers stand.
"At least he didn't fly off when it hit" said Luan who is also at the announcers stand.
Let's zoom out for a bit.
The Spellman's decided to have a small baseball game with the louds and some of their friends from the other worlds.
We got Blue team vs Red Team.
Blue Team: Neil, Lincoln, Pearl, Amethyst, Johnny Test, Connie, Lapis Lazuli, Linka and Danielle Fenton.
Red Team: Peter, Lynn Jr, Garnet, Spinel, Steven, Margo, Wander, Pyrrha and Rainbow Dash.
The umpire being Bismuth and another referee watching from the teams stands is Martin.
Oh, and for some stupid reason Luan and Victor are the announcers/commentators.
"Okay, looks like Red team is one man down" said Martin.
"Or in this case, the team captain just sunk" said Luan as she and Victor laugh.
"Must you two say that?!" said Neil.
The people who are watching: Gwen, Lily, Timmy, Jordan, Tabby, Liam, Rusty, Polly, Danny, Sam Manson, Luna, Sam Sharp, Ember McClain, Dana, Becky, Carol, Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, Sergei, Leon, Sunset Shimmer, Pop-pop, Penny, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Greg, the Pokémon, Poof, Chloe, Cosmo, Wanda, Lord Dominator, Sylvia, Susan, Mary, Dukey, Tyler, Jennifer Shope, Peridot and the Diamonds?
Now this is an audience. They rented the entire park for the day.
"Alright let's switch players now" said Bismuth.
LJ took the bat and is ready to swing, but she did not expect Lincoln to take Neil's place.
This was slightly uncomfortable for Lynn. But she had to hit this.
Lincoln winds up and throws and Lynn missed and Connie catches it.
"Strike one!" said Bismuth.
Lincoln throws it again and this time it flies but gets caught when it lands onto the ground.
Lynn makes a run for it. Lapis grabs the ball and throws it to Pearl and then throws it to Lincoln and Lynn was too late to make it when Lincoln throws the ball to Johnny, which means Lynn was out.
"Looks like its' turning into one heck of a ball game" said Victor.
"Dang right it is. But it appears they're one captain short than a home run!" said Luan.
"I honestly don't understand why they're up there" said Sergei from the bleachers.
The next round was now going to be Steven on the batter and Lincoln still on as pitcher.
Lincoln makes the throw and Steven makes the hit and runs for it but then the ball hits a bird and then hits a tree which then ricochets it back to the diamond park where it hits Peter who just woke up.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" everyone says. "Sorry" said Steven.
Pyrrha picks up the ball and throws it back, but she threw it too hard and it almost hits the commentators.
"Hey! We're not even I the game!" said Victor. "But we are "in" the game!" said Luan.
"So, I guess that still counts as a safe, because I don't know where that ball went" said Bismuth.
They then switch sides. It was now Johnny on the bat and Wander with the ball.
"You got this little brother!" said Mary. "Don't miss this one!" said Susan.
"Come on Wander show them how great you are!" yelled Dominator. "You got this buddy!" said Sylvia.
Wander waves to them and gracefully does a ballerina twirl and throws the ball and that was a strike one.
"What the?! How?!" said Johnny.
"Yes! Destroy him Wander!" said Dominator. "Easy there D" said Sylvia.
"This doesn't make sense" said Mary. "What just happened?" said Susan.
Wander then grace fully spins around and throws it again making it strike two.
"Oh come on!" said Johnny.
"Woo! Yeah!" said Dominator.
"This one's for you darlin'" said Wander as he blows a kiss to Dominator, who catches the kiss and places it on her cheek.
Wander winds up and throws, the ball moves fast and this time Johnny hits it. But it flies upward.
Johnny then runs towards the next base. Rainbow dash tries to catch the ball before it falls.
But Johnny was already running for it. Rainbow Dash catches the ball and throws it to Steven, he then tosses it back to Wander who then throws it but it gets hit by Johnny's feet and bounces off towards Martin and hits him where the light don't shine.
Martin screams and collapses to the ground while holding his privates.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" said everyone, most in pain seeing that.
"Father!" Penny rushes to him.
Johnny was now safe.
"Looks like he didn't have the balls for that one" said Victor.
"A shame that he wasn't well rounded for this private game" said Luan.
The two of them duck after almost getting hit by a laser from Penny.
"Okay, let's try and make this a fair game okay people!" said Bismuth.
"With some of us having powers, I don't think it's gonna be easy" said Dani.
"She has a point" said Amethyst.
Bismuth sighs. "Let's just play ball guys".
The game rages on as both teams give it their all.
Amethyst rolls fast to get the safe.
Lapis flies upwards to catch the ball.
Steven forgot his own strength and the ball punches through Margo's' bat.
Lincoln leaps towards the next base and is safe.
Linka does a cart wheel before she was dubbed out.
Garnet hits the ball so hard with such force it makes a small explosion in place, which leaves everyone speechless.
Rainbow Dash accidently uses her powers and speeds up, but they wonder when did she had the time to buy a chili dog.
Pyrrha hits the ball so hard with the bat it flies off and hits an airplanes wing and then returns to almost hit Martin again. "Sorry" said Pyrrha.
Wander accidently uses his special hat to catch the ball and it doesn't come back out.
Dani makes the ball intangible but it bounces off the wall and hits Peter who was waking up again.
"Can you guys not hit my dad when he's waking up?" said Sam. "Why is he becoming ball bait?" said Luna.
"Looks like this game is becoming overpowered!" said Victor.
"When was it ever battery powered?" said Luan.
"Can you two knock it off?!" said Gwen. Lily does a raspberry to them.
And now both teams were tied. "This is insane!" said Lynn Jr.
"I'll say, this is the most excited I've ever been in my life! Woohoo!" said Margo.
Lynn Jr chuckles at her friend's spontaneous excitement.
At the blue team. "Alright guys, I'll be the batter this time" said Neil.
"We can win this one guys" said Connie. "Even thought this was supposed to be for fun" said Pearl.
"Let's do this!" said Johnny.
Neil grabs a bat and heads to the field.
At the Red Team. "Since our team captain is down for the count" they all look to Peter who has multiple bandage wrappings to his forehead. "I think it's about time Spinel got the chance" said Lynn Jr.
Spinel gets nervous. "Are you sure I should be the one pitching? I don't know about any of this".
"Hey, don't worry, you've got this" said Steven. Spinel smiles and feels motivated, she then reverses her hat. "Let's play ball!" said Spinel.
The game was on, Spinel was on the pitch and blowing bubblegum. Niel was locked and loaded with the baseball bat.
Garnet, Steven, Rainbow Dash, Pyrrha, Wander and Margo were waiting for the ball to fly.
Lynn Jr waits by the team stand with the still worn out Peter.
Neil looks to Spinel with a shotgun glare, and Spinel looks to Neil with a scythe like glare?
"Oooh! This is gonna be good!" said Victor.
"As if it was already bad enough" said Luan.
"Woohoo! Go Spinel!" said Blue Diamond.
"You can do this!" said White Diamond.
"Show them what you are capable of!" said Yellow Diamond.
"Those three need to calm down" said Lisa.
Spinel pops her gum and throws the ball. "Strike one!" said Bismuth.
Neil didn't even hit the ball, he just remained in his stance.
Margo tosses the ball back to Spinel.
Spinel catches the ball and throws again. "Strike two!" said Bismuth.
Lynn felt something was wrong. Lincoln knew something was gonna happen.
Margo tosses the ball back to Spinel, who was now looking at Neil with full seriousness.
In slow motion, Spinel's gum pops and she throws the ball. Within Neil the fire of DeathWing was surging through his veins at full speed.
Neil's eyes change to Deathwing's eyes and he sees the ball coming. 'Gotcha!'
With a powerful blow he hits the ball and it cracks the bat and flies off making an aerial trail of fire.
Spinel ducks down and Neil runs for it. The others try and catch the ball, but then it gets caught at full force by Garnet.
"Throw it Garnet!" yelled Lynn Jr.
She doesn't respond.
Neil keeps running and Spinel is trying to keep up with him. She decided not to use her stretchy powers for this.
"Garnet!" yelled Margo.
"What are you waiting for?!" yelled Rainbow Dash.
Neil is close to the last base and Spinel is right behind him. And that was it.
Garnet them summons her gauntlet and throws the ball with the almost equal strength to Deathwing and towards Spinel who catches it but gets caught by its speed and is sent flying towards Neil.
Neil looks back while running and sees Spinel headed towards him at full speed and he screams as his foot is about to hit the last base a nuke explosion is made. (Fake, sorta)
The smoke clears and everyone faces are black from the blast. "Well, that happened" said Martin.
The only thing they see is a pile of dirt and Neil and Spinel's heads popping out with dizzy eyes.
"W-What …. Happened?" said Neil. "You got me, no clue either" said Spinel.
Garnet covers her mouth. "I think I matched my strength a little too far" said Garnet.
Bismuth has no idea who was safe or out. The she gets an idea. "Amethyst! Brush!"
Amethyst shape shifts into a brush and hands herself to Bismuth.
Bismuth brushes off the dirt and dust. Everyone looks to see who won.
Spinel still had the ball in her hand and she isn't even close to the base but Neil's foot, which was bent backwards made it.
"Safe!" said Bismuth. And with that the score was a win for blue team.
Lynn Jr sighed, but she had to accept the loss. Then someone wakes up. "W-What happened? And why do I have the biggest headache?" said Peter.
The blue team cheers for Neil who made it. "Nice one dad!" said Lincoln.
"You did awesome out there!" said Linka.
"I can't believe you took that hit" said Pearl.
"This is gonna hurt" said Lapis.
"What?" said Neil.
Lapis uses her water powers to grab onto Neil's' leg and twist it back to its original place.
Neil's eye twitches from the pain and he screams loudly and holds his leg. "I told you it was going to hurt" said Lapis.
"Well, it looks like blue team got the win" said Victor. "And red team got the loss".
"Well, Neil is looking blue after that painful experience" said Luan. "And Red team isn't seeing blood red anytime soon!"
The two of them laugh. But then they both get hit each by a baseball and pass out.
They all turn to see Lynn Jr who made the throw. "Seriously! Next time we have a game like this, we don't let them be the commentators" said Lynn Jr.
Neil walks back up and shakes hands with Spinel. "You did well on your first try" said Neil.
"Well, maybe next time I'll do better" replied Spinel.
They all cheered for both teams.
"You're taking the loss with ease Lynn" said Lincoln.
"Well, you can't win them all and this is something I don't think I'll ever forget, or Margo either" said Lynn.
"Alright! Let's get something to eat! Bacon wrapped Cheese hotdogs on me!" said Neil.
They all cheered in response. "I'll take anything that doesn't have any meat in it" said Sam Manson.
"You're still not a Goth" said Lucy. Which was still irritating to Sam, Danny had to calm his girlfriend down.
While everyone leaves for lunch, a portal opens and Gyro comes out.
"What'd I miss?" said Gyro. Martin approaches him. "A lot, also where were you when we were at the Transformers Prime world?"
"Let's just say there are something's in the realms that needed assistance from a powerful magical being like myself" replied Gyro.
"Was it Mewni?" asked Martin.
Gyro sighed. "Unfortunately, yes. The magical high commission has proven to be a bunch of liars and backstabbing traitors, I'm gonna have to talk to queen Eclipsa about requisitioning a new Magical High Commission".
"You'll figure it out. By the way where's Hollow? I haven't heard from him since the whole Noobs incident" said Martin.
"Let's just say, he's on a magical Journey" replied Gyro.
