Me: I am multi tasking on my projects. One is in the final Arc of its Saga. Another is in a new Arc. One is being started. Another needs OC's. I am beginning a brand new story soon. But for now, let's focus on Tomi Yamato.

Tomi: Anonymous Fanz doesn't own anything except for me. And Daichi.

...

All the studying I'm doing is really paying off. I managed to do almost as well as Haruhi. Considering that I've improved a lot since i got here, I might get higher grades at some point. Assumed she doesn't care enough to subconsciously stop me. When I got in the clubroom, Haruhi was not here.

Another thing I have improved in was baseball. I learned to play almost three years ago. "We're competing in a baseball tournament!" Haruhi announced. "What? What did you just say?" Kyon said. "I'm saying that in order to make the whole world know who we are, we, The SOS Brigade, are going to compete in a baseball tournament."

"It's a nice idea right. It's a perfect oportunity for us to let rumors about the SOS Brigade to run rampant. I'll only say this once; I won't even tolerate one loss, get what I'm saying." Haruhi is determined. "It seems like a wonderful idea. The weather is nice outside this season As well." Koizumi said. "That's right Koizumi! You're right. All right Then! We'll start training today!" Haruhi said. It's a good thing I already know how to play.

...

"We're using the grounds now." Haruhi declared. "But we're—" One baseball player (I forget his name.) tried to protest. "Please don't resist. For all our sakes." I warned. The fate of this universe rests in the balance. And I don't say that lightly.

...

"HEY! HEY! KYON! YOUR DEFENSE IS FULL OF HOLES! Can't you just jump up 10 meters and just catch the ball!?" I'm pretty sure that would kill him. "Yeah. Right. I can do that." Kyon said, sarcastically. "You won't be able to win unless your that determined." Haruhi is trying to be inspirational, and she probably could be with a different team.

"Come on! Catch my 1000 ball hits! We were only just able to borrow the grounds from the baseball team!" I could catch the ball when it came to me, but it mostly went toward Kyon. "Aren't we... terribly out of place..." Mikuru asked. "Yes, we are. Though it's nothing new to be completely honest." Kyon answered.

Koizumi caught a ball that looked as though it would hit Kyon while he was distracted. "Nice play koizumi!" Haruhi congratulated. "Oh, it's been a while. This feeling is so nostalgic!" Koizumi replied. For me it's only been a few months. "I wish you'd cut back on the irresponsible comments." Kyon said. "Oh?" Itsuki replied.

"I'm talking about what you said back there. What do you mean, it's a wonderful idea? She's only just bored! Look at it from a victims point for once." Kyon explaimed. "I really have no problem. I'm not going anywhere soon, so I might as well enjoy myself. Besides, this is better than having us search for 'Paranormal activity'. We just need to wait until she's satisfied." I said. I may have paraphrased Itsuki, but he was saying what I was thinking first.

One of the balls hit Mikuru. "We just ned to survive until she's satisfied." I restated. "Are you alright!" Kyon yelled. "Ow... It hurts..." Mikuru replied. He began speaking quieter. I can't her what their saying, but I already know what it is. I could see Haruhi running to them. Kyon didn't even notice she was behind him.

I noticed someone was watching from atop a nearby building. He didn't look like Daichi, or any of the other sliders I've seen. Yet his prsense feels familiar? I think my Slider Sense just kicked in.

"Hey suzumiya! Is it all right if we call it quits? We've got to get started on our own practice soon." The baseball captain said. "Sorry. Can you wait a few more minutes. We've got 720 more to go until we reach 1000!" Haruhi said. I noticed that whoever was watching is gone now.

...

"Guy's I'm here." I said. And I brought friends. "Who are those two?" Haruhi asked. "Daichi, Head of the mystery research club. I believe we met before." Daichi introduced. He is correct. I remember Haruhi mentioning them. In the manga. But I also recall that she joined every club. "And that's my friend, Michiko." Daichi said. I did not expect him to bring anyone with him. Well, that means I brought almost as many people as Kyon. He has half a person more than me.

...

I have no idea the exact intentions the two sliders have, but I do know Daichi is keeping a lookout for that guy I saw. He doesn't know who it is either. And he's the one who knows the other sliders. I don't know what Michiko is here for either, but I can assume it's to help Daichi look for the other Slider.

"Let's see who our first match is with... The kamigahara pirates." Haruhi said. I've come to recognize them as a nearly unbeatable team. "Which team is that?" Someone asked. "Hey? Is that them?" Tsuruya asked. Well, we look like we're in danger. Of course, we aren't, but only me, Daichi, and his friend know that. And anyone with the foresight to predict Haruhi cheating.

"They look like college students." Mikuru observed. She might be right. "I hope we make it out of this okay." Michiko said. I looked through the crowd for the guy I saw. No sign, but I could miss him easily. "Daichi, I think the guy might be in the crowd." I warned. "He probably is. I have another slider watching incase. The slider sense will help us find any Sliders nearby." Daichi explained.

"How does it work." I asked. "It gives us an awareness of paranormal activity. We become more likely to realize when something unusual is happening. We notice the difference from a normal human and an esper, slider, alien, or time traveler using it. Our more experienced sliders have a better control of the ability than you do." Daichi said. Well, I learned enough about my powers for now.

...

"The first match will now commence. The SOS Brigade vs... The kamigahara pirates!" The loud speaker said. "Let's play a fair game." I doubt that will be in my control. "Everybody listen up! I'll tell you the plan. It doesn't matter how, just get out on the bases. Then steal bases until you get to third base. Make good hit's, and let the balls past you. If we go with that, we are sure to get 3 points a inning!" Haruhi's plan isn't much of a plan. Baseball isn't about strategy.

"Wow, awesome directing!" Tsruya commented. "And the batting order and defense positions?" Kyon asked. "We'll use this. But I'm still first." Haruhi said, pulling out a sheet of paper listing the positions. I'm not batting yet.

Haruhi Took first base easily. "THIS PITCHER ISN'T THAT GOOD AT ALL! FOLLOW ME!" She shouted. I already know not everyone is going to do as well as her. Mikuru is up second. A clear example. "Please go easy o..." The pitcher threw the ball. Mikuru panicked, not even swinging near the ball. "Strike!" The umpire yelled. "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! JUST SWING THE BAT!" Haruhi yelled.

I looked around. So many people. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack with a magnet. Not as easy as you might think. I saw someone. It felt as though he were looking at me. But he's not. I can feel him sensing me?

Now Haruhi is pitching. And I'm an outfielder. While I can view more, I can't view as much, without risking injury to myself from the ball. Fortunately, I'm a good outfielder. And since I was the only good outfielder, the balls were being targeted toward Mikuru and Yuki, who were on the other side.

I can get back to watching the Stalker. I noticed the guy I saw earlier was at a different seat. On the other side of the stadium. Did he move? I almost missed an incoming ball. They must have noticed my distraction. But I wasn't distracted enough to miss the sound of the ball being hit.

...

As Kyon and Itsuki were talking, I saw the person that moved seats. He was certainly the guy I saw. "Daichi?" I said to him, as he was talking to Michiko. "I think I found the guy." I said. "Great. I haven't seen from the other sliders who were supposed to be watching for him. I don't know what happened to them, but i'll deal with it." Daichi said. Sounds mildly threatening.

"Where is he?" Michiko asked. "He keeps moving seats. I think it's so he can specifically be seen by us. Or at least me." I said. "He must be concealing himself from experienced users of the slider sense. But since you only have a subconscious ability to use it, he couldn't hide from you." Daichi theorized. "You can do that?" I asked. "Yeah, but it's not an easy trick. It takes expeirence. I think he's testing you. Or Testing your abilities." Michiko explained.

"So, he may or may not be trying to help me." I said. "We don't know who he is or what he wants, so we can only speculate." Michiko concluded.

...

I could see Kyon was more serious about the game. We must be in the second chapter now. And Haruhi is using Mikuru as a distraction. It was effective enough to make the Pirates start scoring worse than last inning. They only got 2 points. Of corse, this is when we start cheating, because Haruhi god powered our equipement.

"I saw him!" Michiko said me. "He Slide's positions when no one is looking. That's how no one noticed." She explained. "We can teleport to other locations?" I asked. "It's a difficult skill, but yes." Michiko answered. I watched as Nagato hit the ball. Daichi got ready to go next. Apparently his presence caused a slight altercation to the batting order.

"How do you know that guy?" Kyon asked me. "He's another slider. I met him while Haruhi was getting us that computer. He's more expeirenced in using his powers than I am." I said. "So the other one's a slider too." Kyon asked. "Yeah. And the rest of his club. Most of the Sliders left, but a few stayed in this universe." I said.

"Why didn't they leave?" He asked. "A few wanted to help me. I know he has at least one other slider in the stadium. My only concern about them is that if they don't have enough of them, they may lose their club. I doubt that will happen, even if they don't, however." I said. "Why's that?" He asked. "It's classified information." I replied. He doesn't look amused.

...

Kyon began pitching. I forgot his exact plan, but the guy hit one of the balls to Michiko.(Another slight change.) She threw the ball, at which was coughs by Itsuki last second. "Everybody, You did great! KYON SAYS HE'S GOING TO BUY US ALL LUNCH. Well... Is it alright with you?" Haruhi said. "All right Haruhi. On one condition." Kyon said. I forgot about that part. I don't remember this particular part of the manga well.

...

As we were leaving, I began wondering if Michiko planned the last throw or not. She probably attempted to recreate the original throw. "I believe this other Slider is here for the same reason you are." Daichi explained. "As in unable to leave, and forced to be part of the plot." Michiyo added. Then that's involving some things I can't deal with at the second. "Hey everyone! There's a soccer Tournament next week!" I realized, We have 12 people. Which means we have enough people to go to the to go. Plus one utility player. "Um, My club is going to be recruiting new members that week. We kinda lost most of them." Daichi said. That was close.
