~ Chapter 7: Play ball! ~
"Rise and shine!" Max yelled from the hallway as groans emitted from most of the rooms. Max grinned; waking people up in the mornings was always fun for him.
*Snore*
Unfortunately Tyson found a way to end that. Sighing in frustration Max headed for Tyson's room and opened the door to find Tyson sleeping, snoring louder then any thunderstorm.
"Tyson!" Max said shaking him. "TYSON!" He said louder.
*SNORE*
"You leave me no choice," Max sighed with a shrug and stepped back in to the hallway to find Ray.
"He's not up yet, huh?" Ray laughed passing by.
"He will be." Max grinned as he charged in to the room and then jumped towards the bed.
* * *
*SMASH*
"What was that?" Sora asked looking at the ceiling as the house shook.
"Probably a new 'Tyson wake up' call," Kenny shrugged as he continued to hold his tea so it wouldn't spill form the mini earthquake created upstairs.
"That loud?" Sora asked.
"It's Tyson."
* * *
"Oh man, Max! You are so dead!" Ray said looking at the broken bed. It had cracked in half after Max landed on Tyson's stomach.
"And where am I suppose to sleep tonight?" Tyson looked wide-eyed while gripping his stomach in pain.
"Ummm, worry about that later. What are we going to do about this?" Max asked. He didn't think it would have broke after all it seemed like a genius idea when he thought about it.
"Hey, don't worry about it! I have a perfect idea to cover it up!" Tyson grinned pushing everyone out.
"But-"
"Don't worry!" He said shutting the door and then turned around towards the bed smirking. "I'm such a genius! What would they do without me?" He said changing and then picked up the rug off the floor and through it over the bed. "There all gone!"
* * *
"You guys were long enough," Kenny said seeing Ray and Max come down from the stairs. "And what was that crash?"
"Ummmm..." Max started.
"Nothing!" Ray ended.
"Nothing? I didn't realize nothing's were so loud?" Sora laughed. "Whatever. Let's hurry or were gonna be late."
"Barbeque here I come!!!" Tyson yelled from upstairs as he started sliding down the railing of the stairs.
"I'm making a sandwich," Kai said heading for the kitchen.
"Why?" Sora asked.
"OWWW!" Tyson moaned loudly landing on the floor, non-too gracefully.
"Well, I want to eat something! And I don't think they'll have enough food because of the food disposal," He said ignoring Tyson's moaning.
"That's MR. Food Disposal to YOU!" Tyson said crossing his arms and looking away.
* * *
"Wow! Sure are a lot of people here!" Max said looking at the vast crowds. A part of the outfield was used for the barbeque, and Mr. Smith could be seen down there, flipping burgers and turning hot dogs. The stands had people scattered here and there as they ate and chatted, but most of the people were down below getting their fill or practicing their swings in the batting cages down the hall.
"And it's so big!" Kenny exclaimed. "Hey Ty-"
"Later Chief!" Tyson yelled running towards the field.
The others followed, but at their own pace as they made it to the field. It was then that they noticed a caged off area. Curious they went to investigate.
"What's this place?" Kenny asked looking at everyone on the other side.
"It's a jail," said a man laughing. He was dressed up in an officers suit, but wasn't a real one.
"And why is it here?" Kai asked.
"It's a little fund raiser thing we have each year with our barbeque! For a dollar, we toss anyone you want in to jail, and it's up to that person or someone else to bail him or her out. Either wise they have to wait one hour and serve there time," The fake officer informed.
"Really!" Kai grinned reaching in to his pocket and pulling out a dollar to give it to the officer. "I want Tyson Kinomiya in jail!" He demanded.
"Alright, where is he!"
Kai more then happily pointed Tyson out of the crowd and the officer nodded as he headed for the boy. Everyone started laughing to themselves as they waited for the reaction.
* * *
"May I help you?" Mr. Smith asked.
"Uh huh!" Tyson smiled at Mr. Smith. " I want that, and that, and that and-"
"Excuse me sir!" a voice said cutting Tyson off.
"Yeah!" He said looking up to see an officer. / OH CRAP!!! He knows I broke the bed! / Tyson instantly thought. /Grrrr, I hid it perfectly! Max must have blamed me, but Rei is a witness to the whole-/
"You'll have to come with me!" The officer said putting some cuffs on Tyson.
"I-I-I-I didn't do anything! I swear!" Tyson squirmed as the officer pushed him towards the jail. "Guys! Guys!!!" Tyson yelled as he saw the others. "Help me! He's putting me under arrest!" Tyson yelled as the others did there best not to laugh. Tyson hadn't known about the fundraiser since he had ran ahead of them to get the food. "GUYS!!! BUT I DIDN'T BREAK SORA'S BED!!!" He cried.
"WHAT?!" Sora yelled as Max slowly backed away. "I thought you guys said it was 'nothing'! And...WHERE'S MAX!!!"
"That way," Kai pointed. Sora reached in to her pocket and pulled out a dollar.
"ARREST HIM!!!"
The guard smirked as he took the dollar and went after Max.
"Well! Looks who's here!" Came a voice from behind.
"Oh, hey Michael!" Ray greeted.
/Gotta make the best of it. / Sora told herself.
"Where are the others?" Steve asked looking around as he defended his hot dog, thinking Tyson would appear any second to eat it.
"Noooo!!! Let me go!" Max's cried could be heard as he was tossed in jail beside Tyson.
"In jail," Kai smirked looking at Tyson who was still trying to glare holes in to him.
"What a relief!" Eddy laughed as he walked over to the cage. "Hi Tyson!" He smiled and then went to take a bite out of his hot dog to tease Tyson but instead he bit in to air.
"What the?!" He looked down to his empty hand. /Did I drop my hot dog? / He asked himself as he looked at the ground.
"Hehe, when it's Tyson and food. Tyson's faster!" Max grinned and pointed at Tyson who seemed to be chewing something smiling.
"Next time go easy on the mustard," Tyson said swallowing. Eddy once again looked at his empty hand astonished at Tyson's speed. He didn't even see the boy move. He slowly walked back to the others.
"Where's your hot dog?" Steve asked. "I know you don't eat that fast."
"It somehow got in to his mouth," Eddy frowned. "I'm getting another before they release the beast again," He said taking off.
* * *
"So...how much longer Maxy," Tyson said bored and hungry.
"Forty-five minutes," Max responded.
"Hey! Don't we get any rights or anything...or more importantly LUNCH!!!" Tyson said remember all the old cop shows and how the person getting arrest always had rights. Quickly he went to the edge of the cage and called to the officer.
"What's up kiddo?"
"Don't we get any rights in here?"
"Well... you can pay your bail. That costs two dollars."
Tyson nodded and searched his pockets; he had one dollar, a yo-yo, his blade, a spoon, and a piece of lint.
"Sorry kiddo! That's only enough to arrest someone." The guard said and turned around.
Tyson sulked, as he could smell the aroma from the barbeque.
"THAT'S IT MAXY!!! Were BUSTIN out of here!!!!" Tyson roared.
* * *
"Hey this food is good!" Emily said through a mouthful.
"Your right," Ray said looking at his hamburger. "I'm going to go tease Tyson!" He laughed taking off for the jail.
"So what should we do?" Emily asked looking at everyone.
"Let's grab some people and play baseball!" Michael suggested.
"Ehehe, I'd rather not," Sora said recalling her past experience in the batting cage.
"I'd prefer basketball!" Eddy pouted.
"Well we are in a baseball diamond. I don't think you'd be able to play basketball here," Michael laughed.
"What about football? We could ignore all those stupid lines," Steve grinned.
"Or stretch a net across and play tennis," Emily suggested.
Kai and Sora watched the group argue for a while before deciding to leave them to fight it out and to go check out how Tyson and Max were holding up in the jail. As soon as they got in to eyes view they saw Ray rolling on the ground in laughter.
"What's so fun-" Sora stopped her sentence as she saw Tyson on the other side of the cage digging a hole in to the ground with the spoon that was in his pocket.
"What are you doing Tyson?" Kai finally asked raising a brow.
"H-h-h-he's breaking out!!!" Ray said as tears formed, but had managed to stand.
"Tyson Kinomiya, and Max Mizuhara! You are free to go!" Tyson looked at his little hole and then the open cage door. Throwing his spoon in to the dirt he ran to the officer as he dug in to his pocket and pulled out the dollar he had earlier.
"ARREST HIM!!!" Tyson said pointing at Kai.
"Why?" The officer laughed taking the coin.
"He's EVIL!!! And now, I am going to that beautiful barbeque." Tyson said running to Mr. Smith.
Kai groaned and sat down in the cell.
"Having fun!" Sora laughed. Ray and Max were also snickering from the other side of the cell.
"Peachy!" He groaned. He looked through his pockets, but didn't have anymore loose change and didn't want to break a larger bill, so decided to just stick it out.
"HEY! SORA! MAX! RAY!" Emily yelled running over to them.
"What's up?" Max asked smiling.
"We were wondering if you'd guys would like to play a game of baseball with us! Tyson already agreed, and they are some other kids around here that want to play so ummm..."
"Sure!" Max said taking Emily by the hand dragging her off as Sora and Ray followed.
"See you in an hour Kai!" Sora waved with a bit of a snicker.
* * *
Upon reaching the far corner of the field where a rather large group had gathered, and were already paired off waiting for Emily to return.
"Tell me again, why I'm-" He stopped taking a bite out of his hotdog, "-not still at the grill?" Tyson asked taking a bite out of the burger in his other hand.
"Because we need another player." Steve said simply.
"And because we need a really fast runner," Eddy glared at Tyson who grinned sheepishly as he finished off his snack.
"Okay, let's PLAY BALL!!!" Michael yelled.
As they started lining up, a large crowd had gathered around in the stands to watch them.
"Hey, isn't that Michael? I hear he has a killer pitch! No ones able to hit it." One of the girls in the crowd said taking a seat in the stands.
"Yeah it is! And, why does that kid there look so familiar?" Her friend asked.
"Don't you recognize him?" A boy sitting behind them laughed. "That's Tyson Kinomiya, better known as tree-boy." He laughed.
* * *
"And 'Crazy' Chief is at the bat! Can he hit a homer?!" Tyson said as if he were a broadcaster.
"I guess we'll have to wait and see!" Max said, taking up the roll of co- broadcaster.
"You ready for this!" Michael called from the pitcher's mound.
"No, but throw it anyways!" Kenny said. He never played sports so he wasn't expecting a miracle.
"And there's the pitch!" Tyson yelled as Michael pitched the ball.
"Strike!" Max yelled. "Tough break for Crazy Chief!"
"Strike!" Tyson yelled on the second pitch.
"Strike!" Max yelled on the third.
"OUT!" They both screamed.
Kenny shrugged returning to the dug out.
"Crazy Chief?" Kenny asked.
"I dunno! Player always have funny little nicknames," Tyson said grabbing his bat and then headed to the batter's place.
"LOOK! TREE-BOY!!!" The crowd yelled.
"And it seems that crowd as chosen this player's name," Kenny said taking Tyson's place as the broadcaster.
"Yep, meet Tree-boy Tyson!" Max yelled with a giggle as he saw Tyson blushing. The whole stadium must have read the newspaper.
"Does Tree-boy Tyson have what it takes?!"
Michael laughed at Tyson.
"You looked good in all those pictures the media used," He smirked.
"Grrrr...THROW THE BALL!!!" Tyson said angrily.
"FAST BALL!" Michael yelled putting everything he had in to the ball.
*CRACK*
Everyone stared with their mouths hanging open as the ball got launched in to the stands.
"And...it's outta here!" Max finally declared.
Tyson smirked, as there was no rush to run since he hit a home run and carefully laid he's bat on to the ground, and then made his way to first base.
Michael was fuming; no one had EVER hit one of his pitches. He couldn't understand it; his perfect record was tarnished. The 'Fast Ball' was one of his best moves; it was so good he incorporated in to blading.
"What's Tyson doing?" Ray asked.
"Well Ray! It appears that Tyson is skipping to each base," Max laughed because that was exactly what Tyson was doing. When he got to first base he shook hands with the first basemen, which happened to be Steve, and then continued skipping to the next base. Halfway there he stopped and looked down, his shoelace was untied. He slowly bent down and tied it.
Michael dragged his hand down his face in frustration, as Tyson rubbed it in his face. He got up again and continued his skipping, which kept making the crowd scream more and more wildly.
"La la la la la!" Tyson sang happily as he skipped base to base until he finally made it home.
"Safe!" The umpire yelled.
"Tyson! Since when could you do that?!" Max cheered giving his friend a high-five.
"Hehehe, I've been playing ever since I was little. I don't just where this baseball hat to enhance my amazing good looks! I wear it because I am a huge fan!" He grinned.
"TREE-BOY!!! TREE-BOY!!!" The crowd was chanting, once again reminding Tyson of the other day.
"Well, at least I'm famous!" Tyson blushed. "Anyways next up to bat we have Radical Ray!"
"What?! Me?!"
"No, that other Radical Ray beside you!" Max laughed.
"Radical? Whatever!" Ray shrugged and picked up his bat and went to the base.
/They won't hit another one, / Michael told himself as he pitched it.
"Strike!" Max called.
"Strike two!" Tyson called.
"It's a hit!" They both yelled on the third pitch. "RUN!!! RUN!!! RUN!!!" They screamed on the bench jumping. Ray ran for all he was worth and managed to get himself to second base.
/They hit it again! HOW?! / Michael yelled at himself. /I can't be getting that rusty! And they can't be that good! /
"Next up Magnificent Max!"
"COME ON MAX!!!" Ray yelled. "GET ME HOME!"
/GO MAX! / Emily yelled, even though she was on the other team.
Max stepped up to the plate and raised the bat then nodded to Michael.
/ He doesn't look very happy! / Max noticed.
"STRIKE ONE!" Kenny said.
"STRIKE TWO!" Tyson said.
"STRIKE THREE!" Kenny said.
"OUT!" They yelled.
"SAFE!" The umpire yelled.
"HUH?!" Everyone said looking at the base. Ray had stolen two bases while no one was looking. The person at second base was Emily, and she was a little preoccupied watching a certain boss' son.
"Hehe! WAY TO GO RAY!!!" Tyson yelled as he ran to him. "And where'd you learn to bat! Man that was good!"
"I use to play baseball with Lee and the others when I was younger. There wasn't much to do in a little isolate mountain village.
"Well Sora! Your turn!" Kenny said.
"NO!" Tyson yelled. "SUPER SORA!" He smiled as people gave him funny looks. "Hey! She needs a nickname too!"
Sora shook her head and went to the plate.
"BALL!" Ray yelled.
"BALL TWO!" Max yelled.
"BALL THREE!" Tyson cried.
"What's a 'ball'?" Kenny asked.
"A 'ball' is when it's impossible for the player to hit. And it's only a ball if the don't swing. If they get four balls, they walk to the first base free." Tyson explained.
/Why is he doing this? / Sora thought frustrated. She wanted to at least try and hit the ball.
"BALL FOUR! WALK!" The umpire called. Sora frowned as she walked to the first base.
Next one of the other kids that wanted to play stepped up and failed to hit the ball, which made three strikes.
"CHANGE!" The umpire called as both teams switched places.
Tyson was the chosen pitcher for the team, but he decided to keep his broadcasting job.
"Up next Stupid Steve! Can he hit the Tremendous Tyson's pitch?!" Tyson laughed.
"Watch it Tyson! Or you'll be tremendously sore!" Steve growled.
After the three strikes, Steve went back not so happy as Michael glared at him.
"What may I ask was THAT?!" He yelled.
"Look! I'm a foot ball player, NOT a corny baseball player."
"Hmph!"
Obviously there was a war between the two baseball team captains, which were obviously Michael and Tyson.
"Tremendous Tyson's next victim is the ever Elegant Emily." Tyson said being nice. He had a feeling that Max would have tried pummeling him if he did anything else. It was just a gut feeling.
Tyson threw the ball softer towards Emily much like Michael did to Sora. A small 'crack' was heard as Emily hit the ball and ran, but only made it to first base. The first basemen there was Max.
"Nice hit!" He complimented. /Glad Tyson didn't blow up at her! It wouldn't have been very polite. She did do anything to him. And besides she's cute.... cute? / He asked himself. Since when did he decide that? He looked over at Emily who seemed a little red. /Well... she is! /
"Up next we have...Elephant Eddy!" Tyson laughed at the angry Eddy.
Eddy tried batting, but had never played before. He didn't see the sense in hitting a ball, the size of a fist, with a bat. So after his strikeout Michael picked up his bat and went to the plate.
"And now we have Moron Michael for Tremendous Tyson's next victim," Tyson chuckled.
"Try Mighty Michael!" Michael yelled back.
Tyson threw the ball with all his might, but Michael managed to hit it right out of the park.
"Mighty Michael, HA!" Tyson laughed and grumbled all at the same time as Emily and Michael ran home.
The game finally ended with Michael's team winning. Since Michael was a better-known baseball player, a lot of the better players joined his team, which gave them the edge they needed to win.
"Hey! Where's Kai? He should have been out of jail by now," Ray said looking around.
"I dunno! He's probably around somewhere." Kenny said also looking.
"Hey! What would have been Kai's name if he played?" Max asked Tyson laughing.
"Hmmm?" Tyson said closing his eyes thinking. "King Kai! That way everyone knows they must bow! NO! Wait, Killer Kai because he's always trying to kill us...me!" He corrected himself, reopening his eyes laughing at his own joke to see Ray shaking his head, Kenny pulling a finger across his throat, Max waving frantically, and Sora with her smirk she had when she does something evil. Tyson gulped. After interrupting all these faces he determined that Kai was standing right behind him, and presumed that it was a very pissed off Kai at that. Not only did he just insult the bigger and much stronger boy, but he had also arrested him some time ago. "BUT my all time favorite one is KIND Kai!!!" He said as he started to walk away slowly. "Come on! Let's find KIND Kai!" He yelled once more, then yelped as a hand clamped on to his shoulder. "OH! Hello KIND Kai! How are you?" Tyson smiled.
"Three," Sora said.
"Two," Ray continued.
"One," Kenny added.
"Go!" Max yelled as Tyson took off followed by Kai.

Kai and Sora watched the group argue for a while before deciding to leave them to fight it out and to go check out how Tyson and Max were holding up in the jail. As soon as they got in to eyes view they saw Ray rolling on the ground in laughter.
"What's so fun-" Sora stopped her sentence as she saw Tyson on the other side of the cage digging a hole in to the ground with the spoon that was in his pocket.
"What are you doing Tyson?" Kai finally asked raising a brow.
"H-h-h-he's breaking out!!!" Ray said as tears formed, but had managed to stand.
"Tyson Kinomiya, and Max Mizuhara! You are free to go!" Tyson looked at his little hole and then the open cage door. Throwing his spoon in to the dirt he ran to the officer as he dug in to his pocket and pulled out the dollar he had earlier.
"ARREST HIM!!!" Tyson said pointing at Kai.
"Why?" The officer laughed taking the coin.
"He's EVIL!!! And now, I am going to that beautiful barbeque." Tyson said running to Mr. Smith.
Kai groaned and sat down in the cell.
"Having fun!" Sora laughed. Ray and Max were also snickering from the other side of the cell.
"Peachy!" He groaned. He looked through his pockets, but didn't have anymore loose change and didn't want to break a larger bill, so decided to just stick it out.
"HEY! SORA! MAX! RAY!" Emily yelled running over to them.
"What's up?" Max asked smiling.
"We were wondering if you'd guys would like to play a game of baseball with us! Tyson already agreed, and they are some other kids around here that want to play so ummm..."
"Sure!" Max said taking Emily by the hand dragging her off as Sora and Ray followed.
"See you in an hour Kai!" Sora waved with a bit of a snicker.
* * *
Upon reaching the far corner of the field where a rather large group had gathered, and were already paired off waiting for Emily to return.
"Tell me again, why I'm-" He stopped taking a bite out of his hotdog, "-not still at the grill?" Tyson asked taking a bite out of the burger in his other hand.
"Because we need another player." Steve said simply.
"And because we need a really fast runner," Eddy glared at Tyson who grinned sheepishly as he finished off his snack.
"Okay, let's PLAY BALL!!!" Michael yelled.
As they started lining up, a large crowd had gathered around in the stands to watch them.
"Hey, isn't that Michael? I hear he has a killer pitch! No ones able to hit it." One of the girls in the crowd said taking a seat in the stands.
"Yeah it is! And, why does that kid there look so familiar?" Her friend asked.
"Don't you recognize him?" A boy sitting behind them laughed. "That's Tyson Kinomiya, better known as tree-boy." He laughed.
* * *
"And 'Crazy' Chief is at the bat! Can he hit a homer?!" Tyson said as if he were a broadcaster.
"I guess we'll have to wait and see!" Max said, taking up the roll of co- broadcaster.
"You ready for this!" Michael called from the pitcher's mound.
"No, but throw it anyways!" Kenny said. He never played sports so he wasn't expecting a miracle.
"And there's the pitch!" Tyson yelled as Michael pitched the ball.
"Strike!" Max yelled. "Tough break for Crazy Chief!"
"Strike!" Tyson yelled on the second pitch.
"Strike!" Max yelled on the third.
"OUT!" They both screamed.
Kenny shrugged returning to the dug out.
"Crazy Chief?" Kenny asked.
"I dunno! Player always have funny little nicknames," Tyson said grabbing his bat and then headed to the batter's place.
"LOOK! TREE-BOY!!!" The crowd yelled.
"And it seems that crowd as chosen this player's name," Kenny said taking Tyson's place as the broadcaster.
"Yep, meet Tree-boy Tyson!" Max yelled with a giggle as he saw Tyson blushing. The whole stadium must have read the newspaper.
"Does Tree-boy Tyson have what it takes?!"
Michael laughed at Tyson.
"You looked good in all those pictures the media used," He smirked.
"Grrrr...THROW THE BALL!!!" Tyson said angrily.
"FAST BALL!" Michael yelled putting everything he had in to the ball.
*CRACK*
Everyone stared with their mouths hanging open as the ball got launched in to the stands.
"And...it's outta here!" Max finally declared.
Tyson smirked, as there was no rush to run since he hit a home run and carefully laid he's bat on to the ground, and then made his way to first base.
Michael was fuming; no one had EVER hit one of his pitches. He couldn't understand it; his perfect record was tarnished. The 'Fast Ball' was one of his best moves; it was so good he incorporated in to blading.
"What's Tyson doing?" Ray asked.
"Well Ray! It appears that Tyson is skipping to each base," Max laughed because that was exactly what Tyson was doing. When he got to first base he shook hands with the first basemen, which happened to be Steve, and then continued skipping to the next base. Halfway there he stopped and looked down, his shoelace was untied. He slowly bent down and tied it.
Michael dragged his hand down his face in frustration, as Tyson rubbed it in his face. He got up again and continued his skipping, which kept making the crowd scream more and more wildly.
"La la la la la!" Tyson sang happily as he skipped base to base until he finally made it home.
"Safe!" The umpire yelled.
"Tyson! Since when could you do that?!" Max cheered giving his friend a high-five.
"Hehehe, I've been playing ever since I was little. I don't just where this baseball hat to enhance my amazing good looks! I wear it because I am a huge fan!" He grinned.
"TREE-BOY!!! TREE-BOY!!!" The crowd was chanting, once again reminding Tyson of the other day.
"Well, at least I'm famous!" Tyson blushed. "Anyways next up to bat we have Radical Ray!"
"What?! Me?!"
"No, that other Radical Ray beside you!" Max laughed.
"Radical? Whatever!" Ray shrugged and picked up his bat and went to the base.
/They won't hit another one, / Michael told himself as he pitched it.
"Strike!" Max called.
"Strike two!" Tyson called.
"It's a hit!" They both yelled on the third pitch. "RUN!!! RUN!!! RUN!!!" They screamed on the bench jumping. Ray ran for all he was worth and managed to get himself to second base.
/They hit it again! HOW?! / Michael yelled at himself. /I can't be getting that rusty! And they can't be that good! /
"Next up Magnificent Max!"
"COME ON MAX!!!" Ray yelled. "GET ME HOME!"
/GO MAX! / Emily yelled, even though she was on the other team.
Max stepped up to the plate and raised the bat then nodded to Michael.
/ He doesn't look very happy! / Max noticed.
"STRIKE ONE!" Kenny said.
"STRIKE TWO!" Tyson said.
"STRIKE THREE!" Kenny said.
"OUT!" They yelled.
"SAFE!" The umpire yelled.
"HUH?!" Everyone said looking at the base. Ray had stolen two bases while no one was looking. The person at second base was Emily, and she was a little preoccupied watching a certain boss' son.
"Hehe! WAY TO GO RAY!!!" Tyson yelled as he ran to him. "And where'd you learn to bat! Man that was good!"
"I use to play baseball with Lee and the others when I was younger. There wasn't much to do in a little isolate mountain village.
"Well Sora! Your turn!" Kenny said.
"NO!" Tyson yelled. "SUPER SORA!" He smiled as people gave him funny looks. "Hey! She needs a nickname too!"
Sora shook her head and went to the plate.
"BALL!" Ray yelled.
"BALL TWO!" Max yelled.
"BALL THREE!" Tyson cried.
"What's a 'ball'?" Kenny asked.
"A 'ball' is when it's impossible for the player to hit. And it's only a ball if the don't swing. If they get four balls, they walk to the first base free." Tyson explained.
/Why is he doing this? / Sora thought frustrated. She wanted to at least try and hit the ball.
"BALL FOUR! WALK!" The umpire called. Sora frowned as she walked to the first base.
Next one of the other kids that wanted to play stepped up and failed to hit the ball, which made three strikes.
"CHANGE!" The umpire called as both teams switched places.
Tyson was the chosen pitcher for the team, but he decided to keep his broadcasting job.
"Up next Stupid Steve! Can he hit the Tremendous Tyson's pitch?!" Tyson laughed.
"Watch it Tyson! Or you'll be tremendously sore!" Steve growled.
After the three strikes, Steve went back not so happy as Michael glared at him.
"What may I ask was THAT?!" He yelled.
"Look! I'm a foot ball player, NOT a corny baseball player."
"Hmph!"
Obviously there was a war between the two baseball team captains, which were obviously Michael and Tyson.
"Tremendous Tyson's next victim is the ever Elegant Emily." Tyson said being nice. He had a feeling that Max would have tried pummeling him if he did anything else. It was just a gut feeling.
Tyson threw the ball softer towards Emily much like Michael did to Sora. A small 'crack' was heard as Emily hit the ball and ran, but only made it to first base. The first basemen there was Max.
"Nice hit!" He complimented. /Glad Tyson didn't blow up at her! It wouldn't have been very polite. She did do anything to him. And besides she's cute.... cute? / He asked himself. Since when did he decide that? He looked over at Emily who seemed a little red. /Well... she is! /
"Up next we have...Elephant Eddy!" Tyson laughed at the angry Eddy.
Eddy tried batting, but had never played before. He didn't see the sense in hitting a ball, the size of a fist, with a bat. So after his strikeout Michael picked up his bat and went to the plate.
"And now we have Moron Michael for Tremendous Tyson's next victim," Tyson chuckled.
"Try Mighty Michael!" Michael yelled back.
Tyson threw the ball with all his might, but Michael managed to hit it right out of the park.
"Mighty Michael, HA!" Tyson laughed and grumbled all at the same time as Emily and Michael ran home.
The game finally ended with Michael's team winning. Since Michael was a better-known baseball player, a lot of the better players joined his team, which gave them the edge they needed to win.
"Hey! Where's Kai? He should have been out of jail by now," Ray said looking around.
"I dunno! He's probably around somewhere." Kenny said also looking.
"Hey! What would have been Kai's name if he played?" Max asked Tyson laughing.
"Hmmm?" Tyson said closing his eyes thinking. "King Kai! That way everyone knows they must bow! NO! Wait, Killer Kai because he's always trying to kill us...me!" He corrected himself, reopening his eyes laughing at his own joke to see Ray shaking his head, Kenny pulling a finger across his throat, Max waving frantically, and Sora with her smirk she had when she does something evil. Tyson gulped. After interrupting all these faces he determined that Kai was standing right behind him, and presumed that it was a very pissed off Kai at that. Not only did he just insult the bigger and much stronger boy, but he had also arrested him some time ago. "BUT my all time favorite one is KIND Kai!!!" He said as he started to walk away slowly. "Come on! Let's find KIND Kai!" He yelled once more, then yelped as a hand clamped on to his shoulder. "OH! Hello KIND Kai! How are you?" Tyson smiled.
"Three," Sora said.
"Two," Ray continued.
"One," Kenny added.
"Go!" Max yelled as Tyson took off followed by Kai.
