AUTHORS NOTE(S): My second fanfic on so I hope that it turns out well. As you can tell, it's a wonderful, large crossover from 5 different anime and 2 videogames. Anime: FullMetal Alchemist, Saiyuki, Naruto, Weiss Kreuz, Gundam-W and from the video games: Tekken & Soul Calibur. It sounds a bit silly right now, but it'll get better I hope. It's just a silly story I came up with when me and my roommates were attempting to turn the baseball game between the Sox and the... Astro's(?) a few days ago into an anime-style storyline. It was quite hilarious, I assure you.
Disclaimers: I do not own any of the anime/videogames mentioned above.
PART I. The Practice
Section A: the military
The field was brand new, and the new all-star team was warming up on the freshly mowed grass. In fact, they were doing intense push-up's, crunches, sit-up's, chin-ups and all-together extremely grueling workouts. But they were used to it, and it didn't really bother them much. It was all in the day's training. They were a part of the military!
So what were they doing on a baseball field, and on an All-Star team? The military decided to train for a special game that the nation held every year. It was a great opportunity to appeal to the public through a popular sport, and show that even heartless soldiers can enjoy a fun game of baseball.
"HUP, HUP, HUP…!" barked the dark-haired Lieutenant Colonel Mustang. "THE BIG GAME IS IN A WEEK. GET THOSE ASSES IN SHAPE!"
"That comment just made me doubt his sexuality." muttered Edward, as he stealthily hopped through the tire holes. Al giggled with an echo through the armor. He too, despite his large armored feet, made it through the course without a problem.
The exercise ended shortly, and the team gathered in front of Mustang to start the actual practice. Roy Mustang, the lead player, stood in front of them defiantly. A whistle hung around his neck and showed the soldiers in front of him that although he was a part of the team, he was also their coach. Their leader.
"Hurry it up," whined Ed, wiping the sweat off of his forehead, "I don't wanna waste time yakking about this upcoming game, again."
The words bit into Roy's brain, which was thinking up of another encouraging speech about the upcoming game, and he raised his gloved hand. The crowd leered towards Ed.
"What?" he asked irritably.
Roy lowered his hand and glowered at Ed.
"You will bat first, Edward Elric."
"WHAT? I HATE BATTING!"
Roy just smirked at him and decided to play with Ed's temper.
"Why's that? Do you need help reaching the ball?"
Edward's eyebrow twitched. Roy's smirk turned into one of sheer amusement and sadistic nature, as Ed's face darkened and boiled with hatred. Al started to get nervous, and behind Ed, Riza Hawkeye rolled her eyes.
"WHO'S SO SMALL THAT HE CAN'T EVEN SEE EYE-LEVEL WITH A STUPID BASEBALL!"
A projectile of black and red flew towards Roy, who just regally stepped aside and let Ed smash face first into the grass. He lifted his head to reveal a mouthful of dirt and grass, with a side order of stains all over his clothes.
"Patooie!" spat Ed, climbing quickly onto his feet. Now he surely had to face the punishment, since he had attempted to attack his oh-so-superior… superior.
"All right, Ed," announced Mustang, throwing a bat at him, "Up to bat; let's play ball!"
Section B: China
It was already mid-day, and the sun was scorching the already sun-dried dirt. It was becoming uncomfortably hot under their feet. A demon by the name of Kougaiji was waiting impatiently at the bat, and the silent catcher with red eyes was waiting as well. The pitcher was slumped on his ass, and sighing the day away.
"Can we eat yet? I haven't had lunch," whined the small teen, "It's already 12:05, Sanzo!"
A tall, blonde man smoking a cigarette stirred from under the comforting shade of a tree, and made a disgusted face at him.
"Shut up and play the game, Goku."
"But Sanzo…!"
Gojyo and Hakkai were in the outfield, waiting for Goku to start the game. He had been whining for about five minutes straight.
"Hey, Monkey-face!" yelled Gojyo. It was quite a scream, since he had to reach all the way across the field. "Start the stupid game already! I think I'm turning black."
Goku grimaced at the name, but was too fatigued to do much about it. Yet he still had the strength to stand up and pitch a half-hearted throw, which was pretty much a normal pitch for the average human.
'More like drying his kappa ass off…'
Kougaiji immediately swung with full-force and smacked it towards Hakkai, who had made his way to his side of the field. On the left field, Gojyo watched boredly. The ball bounced a few feet away from Hakkai, and he made a frenzied dive for it, trying to get Kougaiji out.
"COME ON HAKKAI, YOU OLD MAN!" cried Goku, hopping up and down, "GET THAT LONG-HAIRED FREAK OUT!"
Kougaiji had made it to second base before Hakkai threw the ball and Lirin caught it in her mouth. Normally, it would've smashed her little demon teeth out, but you know… she's a demon. They are stronger than a mere baseball. Yaone from third base gave Lirin an encouraging smile, and Dokugakuji sighed boredly from first base.
Sanzo watched the game with less-than-mild interest. He put out his smoke and removed his jacket to reveal a very un-Sanzo tee shirt. Making his way to home base, he lazily snagged a bat and pulled out a new cigarette. Goku suppressed a giggle, and started warming up to try and humor the priest.
Why was he here? He didn't even like baseball; it was practically Goku's idea. They just had to coincidentally pass by some stupid event poster, about some dumb All-Star team that was playing at the upcoming Sports Night. Goku just wanted to show off to the whole freaking world while he was having fun. How typical of him.
"The hell with this bat, " grumbled Sanzo through his third newly lit cigarette, "I'll just shoot the damn ball to pieces."
"I just bought that ball last week," called out Hakkai from the outfield, "please take goodcare of it!"
"Guns are… illegal in the game anyway," Kougaiji declared quickly, "people will get hurt…and stuff… like that."
But everybody knew he wasn't concerned about legal reasons, and he certainly wasn't concerned with other bystanders and players getting hurt, especially when it involved the Sanzo group. He was just afraid of that demon-obliterating gun.
Gojyo from the right field glanced at his half-brother at the first plate. He was almost falling asleep right then and there. He then glanced at Yaone in third base, who was fixing her hair, then to Kougaiji who was at second base with Lirin. Nobody was taking this game seriously! Especially that Doku brother of his.
"Are Me AND Goku the only people who think of this game seriously?" demanded Gojyo.
Sanzo just shrugged and choked the bat half-heartedly. He wasn't very good at swinging, either, but he had exceptional aim. Goku better throw a good clean throw.
"OKAY, HERE IT COMES!" bellowed Goku, pitching his arm forward.
I know, I know... BORRRING. Please forgive me, and I promise that after about 4 chapters, it'll get better.Please review! )
