Ch 1 Another challenge

*2 weeks ago*

As Kojima stepped onto the plate bat in hand, it was the final inning of the Pennet Race as Kojima stared at Kawanaka who was about to pitch. This inning would be the Lycans only chance to win it all came down now to this pitch. Kawanaka winds up and pitches a perfect forkball. Time stops and Kojima remembers what he needed to do as a wise man once told him the only way to win is to become the devil. Kojima swung and hit the pitch it flew a home run it was over the Lycans have won from the team that was in last place for many years finally won. All the players ran on to the field all around Kojima congratulating him. Ayame who was once on the Fingers team spoke to the Mariners and said he was leaving and that we don't belong. A revelation spreads through the team the biggest mistake they made was focusing on defeating Tokuchi Toua the man who made the Lycans who they were today the man that took down Saikawa, the man who went up against the Torpedoes and won, and the man who went up against the leader of the Galians the person who had control of the baseball world has now been slain by Tokuchi. Not to mention the strategist of the Bugaboos Coach Shiroka and the team that has made cheating an art Blue mars as well as all the other baseball teams and coaches. All of them taken down by Tokuchi. With one last look at the Lycans Ayame and the newly form Mariners left. A victory for the Lycans but also a lost as well as the team was congratulating Kojima, Kojima looked over at the dugout and saw that the man responsible for making this team that was once at the bottom to the top was not there. When the stadium was empty the press gone the entire team sat in the meeting room in silence. A short plump man with grey hair and big lips stood up and walked to the front of the room and stood behind the desk that man was Mihara the Lycans manager looking at the players he finally spoke.

"Well done all of you we finally after a these years we have finally made it it was not the championship but close enough once again well done." He said a smile on his voice.

No cheers or smiles nothing a question in everyone's mind where did Tokuchi go and why did he leave before the game wasn't even over, no one in the dugout saw him leave so where did he go. Kojima stood up and walked up to the front.

"Guys listen I think it is time for me to tell you why he left. It wasn't because of something bad it was the gamble he made." Kojima said.

Captain Ideguchi stood up and spoke. "Kojima what gamble did you make with him."

Kojima closed his eyes for a few heart beats and looked the team in the eye. "Will remember when we were losing a lot and decided to go to the baseball training camp in Okinawa to try and figure out what we were missing. I ended up finding this gambling game called one outs where it's the pitcher against the batter, if the batter hits the ball and it makes it into the outfield weather it roll or flies in the batter wins. But if the batter can't hit the ball into the outfield with three tries the pitcher wins. Will I found this game and decide to teach them that baseball is not gambling like that baseball is a sport I went up against many pitchers and won. But there was one pitcher that I lost against, it was Tokuchi he got me out and I lost a lot of money. I got angry and thought that it was a cheap because the final ball was a slow ball right down the middle." Kojima said.

The players all gasp a slow ball that a kid could hit got Kojima out. Everyone turned toward to Kojima and he went on.

"The two pitches before it were pitchers that made me think he was trying to avoid me but that was the trick he made me think that he was scared at getting a hit when we betted a lot of money on it. And Is fell for it my concentration was so focused I blew it I never expected a slow ball and didn't even try to hit it. I lost and after that I spent two weeks in the mountains chopping wood a thousand each day perfectly straight lines right down the middle, I went and found Tokuchi at a casino and challenged him once again but this time we made higher stakes he said that if I could touch the ball than I would win. I betted my career on it and I told him that if he lost I would break his right arm so he can never pitch in gambling like that again. The day came where we would face off I ended up hurting my hand when I was chopping wood and could barely bend my wrist, but I showed up and the we started I let the first two pitches go by cause I knew I would not be able to hit it after the second pitch Tokuchi realized that my wrist was hurt and decide to throw an iside high pitch he said that because I betted on my career he said I should be able to hit it. But when he threw the pitch I knew that I would not be able to hit it, and I had a vision of what would happen to the team if I retired so I decided to make one last move I leaned forward and let the pitch hit my shoulder. All the other people there said I lost because I did that on purpose and that Tokuchi won, but Tokuchi silenced them and told them that I won. Because it wasn't an official game it was not a strike but a hit in the game there is a cement wall behind it that had a white rectangle painted in it which meant that if the ball hit inside the rectangle it would count as a strike. Will it hit my shoulder and therefore Tokuchi said that I won, he handed out his arm and said break it with the bat. I grabbed his wrist and bowed my head to him at that point I found what I have been looking for the component we lacked. I told him that I would take his arm and asked him to leave and come and play in the professionals against tough opponents I told him help the Lycans win the championship and he accepted."

"I understand now why he left we won the Pennet race which means that Tokuchi betted everything on this game and because we won he knew that we could win the Championship so his gamble ended and he left." Ideguchi said.

Everyone fell silent than Kurai wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up everyone turned their eyes on him.

"Then we have to make sure we win. We were given this chance by Tokuchi so let's not waste it." Kurai said.

Everyone stood up and cheered in a big yeah. Kojima looked around and saw a different team than the one he knew. Tokuchi Toua the missing piece changed the team and made it stronger. The team had so much fire running through their veins. Winning that's all they cared about winning and going to the championship. They won the pennant race against the mighty mariners which were made of a mixture of the stronger players they faced but in the end they won. But this was just the beginning as Toua said there is more in the baseball world than just baseball there is the darker half money. Being strong does not mean your invincible the mariners were once at the top now lost. Kojima got up and walked out of the room wondering what would happen next will the team be able to get through it are we really strong enough to handle the darker half of the baseball world Toua? Kojima thought.

"Hey Kojima what are you doing out here?" The door open and Ideguchi walked up to the railing.

"Just thinking about what will happen next and wondering will we be able to get through it." Kojima answered.

"I see will guess we are going to have to see when it happens. The team is strong not just physically but mentally as well but I do wonder what will happen. But thinking about it will just give you a headache we will just have to handle it when it comes." Ideguchi said.

"Yeah will lets go back inside everyone is waiting." Ideguchi said walking into the the room.

Kojima looked up at the sky and thought will whatever happens we will take it head on Tokuchi head on I promise. Kojima thought before walking back inside to join the rest of the team.
