Disclaimer: I don't own Fooly Cooly, Furi Kuri; FLCL. I do lay claim on the idea for this fic though.
Authors Note(s): Yo! What do you think of this little idea that sprang up in my head? My muse and I worked out a few kinks in the lightbulb, and all is now shining brightly! This first chappie here, is where it all begins. I'm sure you're all wondering what the fic is about, eh? Well... I got the idea for an FLCL alternate universe highschool fic when I was browsing through the DBZ fics. There are tons made for DBZ, and I thought that FLCL should be no different! What fun, no? The characters will all fall in to place soon enough. I probably should give you a guide of who-knows-who and stuff, but it's really not that hard to figure out. Also, the characters ages are different, but I'll explain that when I have to, so...
Enjoy!
Prologue:
Lightning Pressure
"Bottom of the ninth..."
Voices echoed through the almost-spherical stadium. Theybouncedoff the chrome walls and floated around in a jumbled mess of conversation. The speakers shook with a violent quake as the words blasted forth and thrashed through the electrical plastic, like a rabid animal tearing out of their cage, that was holding them in a deathly embrace.
"Two outs..."
Bright lights illuminated and enhanced the colors of the eager fans in the packed stands. The players on the baseball diamond and field looked as if they were suspended in time, despite their rapid, adrenaline rushed pulses. The sweat that was caked on their visible skin glistened under the starry night sky. Their faces darkened under the protective helmets stationed snugly atop their head. The stone cold expressions they bore lied and hid the true emotions serging through them in an electric intensity. The players nerves were restlessly busy worrying about what would happen next, the pressure and weight of their entire team resting heavily on their shoulders. Would luck be rooting for them and allow the team to make the remarkable play they needed, or would Fate put it's in two cents and shoot them down in their finest hour?
"Bases louded..."
In only a few moments everyone lives would be changed. The glory of victory, or the agony of defeat would be upon them. All their hard work. All the tough games they played, and pulled through in the clutch. All of their blood, sweat and tears that fell from their determined bodies in a desperate struggle to carry out their dreams.
An experience millions would never know. Their dreams and aspirations either ended, or began here. To impress the world and have them graveling at their feet. To have the opposing team bow down to you in a show of respect. Gratitude that destiny had rewarded their dedication and brought them as far as they came.
He had to do this. He had to make one more play. One more home-run. One more time.
Now was the time.
Anyone could win.
Only a few seconds left.
To keep his promise to Haruko.
And the world would be his.
Just a quick prologue, not a big deal! Next chapter is short and is made to give you an idea of where thecharacters are at in their lives when you join them!
Review!
