Hey, I have been on a sports anime faze as of late with them finally dubbing Kuroko no Basket season one. So, I've decided to write a fic inspired by it fused with MLP:FIM. So, some of the characters will be ooc and I hope you enjoy it. Oh, and I am fusing tropes from anime with western parts, like feet and high school having four years.
Chapter 1: Fiery Start.
In the land of Equestia, Basketball is a major deal for young men and women as they have a passion for the sport. This passion burns in the heart of several of several of them and five teams are known to have this burning passion in spades. These are called the Five Kingdoms and they have been holding the top spots of the sport for years, but now, a new Kingdom is rising and will shake them to the core. And it is all thanks to a young man with wild green hair, Spike Draco.
The sun was high over the sky with many students walking on as they were heading to the high school, Ponyville High and one of these students was a young man with wild green hair. He stood 6'2 and had on a set of lean muscles wearing a purple shirt over a green t-shirt, blue jeans, and sneaks.
"So, I'm finally here." Spike said smiling looking up at the high school and seeing so many other students walking around, talking with their friends and heading off into the buildings that littered the grounds. Spike walked on his smile still on his face and looking around at so many students were enjoying themselves, and he could even see some students from clubs trying to recruit from the freshmen. This excited Spike as he looked at all of the club booths and the people holding out pamphlets for their respected clubs, looking for one in particular but he couldn't see anyone from that said club. "Hmmm, i wonder where they could be?" Spike asked himself thinking out loud when a loud voice rang out from the crowd.
"COme and join the basketball club." Spike followed the voice until he found the user, a smiling girl with fair skin, cotton candy like pink hair and bright blue eyes. She was bouncing around the area of a booth handing out fliers to any one who looked her wait. Spike smiled getting closer when he saw two more at the booth, one was a girl with long pink hair, blue eyes, and looked a little nerves with all the attention they were getting from the other ones actions. And the other one also had blue eyes, but hers were a slightly darker shade and curly purple eyes. She looked more comfortable then the other at the booth and she was smiling at them as Spike walked towards them. "Hey, you want to join the basketball club?" the bouncy one yelled at Spike and shoved at pamphlet into his chest.
"Yeah, I've been looking for the basketball club." Spike said taking it and smiling back at her, which made the girl get even more excited and grabbed a plate of cupcakes to off him some.
"W-wait Pinkie." the girl with long hair called out in a low voice, "T-those are f-f-or the new sign-ins."
"I know FLuttershy, but he said he was looking for the club." Pinkie replied and Spike smiled, taking one of them and biting into it.
"These are great." he said smiling eating it and smiled as he walked on, "I'll be in the gym with my form so wait on practice." Walking away, the trio smiled looking at him but the third had a sudden thought.
"I have a feel we may have had a misunderstanding." the girl said watching Spike leave to the main hall.
"What ever could you mean Rarity?" Pinkie asked looking at her with a smile still on her face and Rarity just sighed, not answering since she was not sure either.
Spike was on edge all day with excitement, watching the clock the whole time and counting down the seconds until the end of class was set. Once the alarm goes off, Spike was one of the firsts outside of classroom since he didn't have cleaning duty that week. He rushed to the gym, hearing the sound of dribbling basketballs the whole way and he smiled wide when he reached the door. Only for a ball to hit him square in the face and knocked him to the ground.
"Hey, you okay?" a voice cut through the ringing in his head and he slowly opened his eyes to see a girl with long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, a tan complexion, and bright green eyes.
"Huh, y-yeah." he said holding his head, wincing from the stinging feel coming from the touch as he sat up and looked inside to see several girl in t-shirts and shorts going through drills.
"Hey Applejack," a voice called from inside the gym, "Is that perv dead?" The question cut deep into Spike as he got his sight to clear up more to see a girl standing by the front door. She had a dark skin complexion, wild short rainbow colored hair, and purple eyes. Spike could see her shirt read vice-captain on the front.
"Rainbow, I'm sure he's not some kind of creep." Applejack spat back mad before giving him a puzzled look, "You aren't, are you."
'What is with these girls?' Spike thought out loud shaking his head, "No, I'm just here to join the basketball club." Spike took his form from the bag and handed it to Applejack, who took it and read it over.
"Oh, your the new equipment manager Pinkie said would be coming." Rainbow said smiling and Applejack smiled too showing her the form, but Spike was confused as to what they were talking about.
"What?" Spike called out to them, "no, i'm here to join the boys basketball team." This made both girls look at him confused and puzzled for a few moments, before Rainbow started to laugh out loud.
"Oh, that's a good one." she said holding her sides and laughing out loud while Applejack looked at him, seeing the confusion in his eyes at her laughing at him.
"Dash, i think he doesn't know." Applejack said and Dash stopped her laughing looking at him, confusing Spike even more with their actions.
"Know what?" Spike asked looking at them.
"That the boy basketball club disbanded after the four years left." Applejack said with Dash rubbing the back of her head.
"Yeah, they kind of stopped trying to recruit members since the clubs never won any of the tournaments they went into and no one else tried to join." Dash said looking back at the girls practicing.
"B-but I heard we had a great basketball project." Spike said in confusion to this whole thing.
"We do, the girl team has been getting to the finals the last three years." Applejack said and Spike hung his head looking down to the ground with a long sigh in his head.
"Hey, sorry kid but you might want to try to join another team." Dash said standing up and walking towards the court.
"No way." Spike said looking up a smile still on his face, "I'll just make a new club and form it to go to the tournament." They remained silent for a few moments before Dash began to chuckle again.
"Really, you think you can carry a team by yourself?" Dash asked snickering.
"No, no one can carry a whole team." Spike said looking at her, "A team needs to work together and I will find those who will work with me." Dahs and Applejack looked at him in shock and confusion before Dash began to snicker again.
"You really think you can find a team in under three months to get into the tournament?" Dash asked laughing at him and getting a glare from Applejack before Spike stood up, holding the basketball and spun it on his finger looking at her.
"How about a little match?" he asked her and Dash stopped laughing, looking at him for a few seconds before a smirk pop on her face.
"Cocky son of a bitch aren't you?" she asked with him smiling back at her and Applejack let out a long groan, holding her head. A few minute later Dash and Spike were on the court with Applejack watching them with Spike having the ball.
"Dash, you know the captain won't like you toying with a freshmen, again." Applejack added with a groan as Dash smiled looking at them.
"Don't worry, just a few baskets and it will be over before she..." Dash was silenced in the moment with Spike slipping behind her with a roll and popping a ball up with a fade away near the three point line. They watched the ball fly through the air and landing in the basket, causing loud silence through the gym with everyone looking at the ball bounce on the ground with Spike turning to look at Dash.
"My sister once said to me, thinking you're opponent is to weak would lead to failure." Spike said picking up the ball and looking at Dash who glared at him with clinched teeth.
"Who does he think he is?" she asked out loud walking over and getting ready to play as Spike began to dribble, watching her as Dash moved to steal and Spike spun around her again. But she saw this and knocked it out of his hands. Spike was shocked as Dash took the ball and threw it herself even further then Spike, and it landed in the new right onto the head of of Fluttershy, who walked under it. "Oh, geez." Dash said watching Spike rush to her and helped her to her feet.
"Sorry about that." Spike said smiling at her as Fluttershy held her head, slowly nodding her head and wincing with others looking over her. Dash watched with sweat running down her face.
"You really should go and say sorry, not hm." Applejack said her arms crossed in front of her and Dash looked at her annoyed.
"I-it's not like i meant to do that." Dash said looking at Applejack when a figure appeared behind her.
"Do what exactly?" a voice asked as Applejack looked at them with Dash sweating even harder then before and slowly turning around to see a girl with long purple hair with a pink streak running through it and glasses with the word captain written on her shirt.
TBC.
Well, that is it for this chapter and I hope you enjoyed reading it. Please leave a review and tell me what you think, and which of the girls should Spike end up with? I'm still on the fence on which.
