"We're back and after much 'persuasion' from our umpire, the Bad Guys have finally chosen to replace Marik with Kanryu Takeita." Mai announced over the loudspeaker. "Why? I'm not sure. Let's watch and find out!"
"It's because I have the most money!" Kanryu shouted. "That makes me the bravest! No man here can match my bravery!"
"Maybe not, but I know a certain little girl who's a hundred times braver than you, you ugly moron!" Megumi shouted from the Good Guys reserve dugout.
"You keep your pretty mouth shut, Megumi Takani!" Kanryu yelled back. "The only reason you're alive is because I let you live! If you don't show me the respect I deserve, I'll have you kidnaped and force you to make opium for me again."
"Ha!" Megumi laughed. "That wasn't opium and you know it! That was LSD! You took it to get high and sold it to that Marik guy for a profit!"
Kanryu immediately shut up and sat down.
"Come on!" Shizuru yelled. "Get your next batter out here!"
Toguro stepped out of the dugout, grabbed the largest bat there was (a tree trunk) and walked up to the plate.
"The Bad Guys have one out!" Sakura called.
"How do we have an out?" Shishio asked.
"Because Marik got hit by the ball while he was off base and I don't like him, so it's an out." Sakura answered. "Got a problem with that?"
"No." Shishio replied quickly. "Not at all."
Toguro knocked his tree trunk against the ground and took his batting stance.
"Come on, little girl." He said. "Show me what you've got."
Shizuru grinned wickedly. "Just for that, I'll give you my special pitch. I call it the Shizuru Slam."
Sizuru wound up and threw the strangest pitch anyone had ever seen. First it zigged. Then it zagged. Then it flew down to Toguro's feet, hovering an inch above the ground. Toguro leaned over to stare at it and the ball flew up and hit him right between the eyes.
"Ow." Toguro said dully. He staggered forward, falling flat on his face and starting to twitch.
"Geez, Shizuru." Yusuke said. "Just because the guy's my enemy is no reason to kill him!"
"What makes you think I did that for you?" Shizuru asked. "He called me a little girl. He deserved it."
Sakura glanced at Toguro and called, "Out!"
"Good call!" Botan yelled from the stands. "That's the way you do it, girlfriend! Don't give any of them an inch!"
"We need a new player out here!"Sakura yelled as two medics dragged Toguro off the field.
Sojiro came up to the plate as Master Asia scurried out of the reserve dugout to take Toguro's place.
Sojiro hit the bat against the ground, the started to bounce up and down, tapping his feet.
"WHAT are you doing?" Domon asked from first base.
"I am preparing to run at my max speed." Sojiro said. "You had better be ready to move, Tomb Raider!" He called to Yami Bakura. "When I hit this ball, I'm going to be on that base in less than a second. I WILL run you over if I have to."
"Yeah, whatever!" Domon said. "You have to hit the ball first!"
"Oh, I will." Sojiro replied. "And I will utilize its power to TAKE. YOU. OUT."
"CAN I PITCH?" Shizuru roared.
Sojiro laughed cynically. "I dunno. Can you?"
"That's it!" Shizuru yelled. "Get ready! Here comes another Shizuru Slam!"
Shizuru threw the ball and it followed the course it took with Toguro. As the ball zigged and zagged, Sojiro just kept bouncing up and down calmly. He was in the air when the ball flew up and as it flew toward his face he hit it with the bat. Then Sojiro vanished and was on first base in the blink of an eye (though he didn't move nearly as fast as Marik).
Yami Bakura was already on second.
"Hey, how did you get there?" Sano asked.
"He stole second while you were all busy arguing, that he did." Kenshin said.
"Well, why didn't you say something!" Shizuru yelled.
"I did not want to interrupt, that I did not." Kenshin said. "That would have been rude, that it would."
"YOU IDIOT!"
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Domon laughed.
Sojiro's ball (which had been flying through the air the entire time) fell from the sky and hit Domon on the head so hard it shattered on impact.
Domon blinked.
Yusuke stared at Domon. "How are you still standing?"
Domon struck a dramatic pose, flashing a peace sign at the camera and a breeze ruffled the ends of his headband. "Cuz I'm the toughest and coolest fighter here and everyone loves me."
Yusuke snickered. "Then why was your show cancelled?"
Domon turned red. "SHUT UP, IT'S NOT FUNNY"
Domon fell flat on his face.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Yusuke laughed. "I guess he wasn't as tough as he thought!"
"Maybe next time you idiots will believe me when I say I'm going to do something," Sojiro said. "I told him that I would take him out and I told you all that jumping would make me run fast."
"I can run ten times that fast and I don't have to bounce up and down like a moron." Hiei commented.
"Hey, Mr. Happy!" Shizuru yelled. "How did you hit my Shizuru Slam?"
"It was really quite simple." Sojiro explained. "After I watched you pitch to Toguro, I saw that the secret behind your Shizuru Slam is-"
(Ok, time to move on to the next part!)
"Hey wait!" Shizuru cut in. "I wanna hear what Mr. Happy thinks my secret is."
"Yeah, why won't you let him tell?" Joey asked.
(Because he...she...well, I don't know what it is and I don't want you to tell me. I want to figure it out for myself.)
"A stupid human like you'll never figure it out." Yami Bakura said.
"The secret is-" Sojiro began.
((screen fades to black))
Later, guys! Yami Bakura, watch that "stupid human" crap. Remember, I control what happens to you. I'll see ya in part three. And no whining about me cutting it short or TEA makes her grand entrance.
Cast: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
