Well this is gonna be weird, falling through a weird tunnel for Lord... no, Celestia knows how long. If I'm gonna be in MLP EG, might as well use the proper grammar and terms.
So I bet your wondering how I ended up like this, well it was a few hours ago.
...Yeah not as dramatic as "many years ago" or "a long time ago" isn't it?
So anyhow...
It was the day of a convention with my parents and my younger brother, me being 16 and him being 12.
We were going inside as he came in dressed as a white cat as he wore a cat mask with an insane grin on it. I however wore a Black and White baseball gear with white hair dye, eye black under my eyes, as I held a grey bat. We were The Judge and The Batter respectively.
We saw many people but I found on a shelf of a store, 3 large white rings stood on display, the Add-Ons, I immediately checked the price.
"$5.00 an Add-On? That's a really good but cheap fair price." I looked at the merchant and asked for the rings, he gave them to me after I gave him my 3 $5 dollar bills. I failed to notice them glowing a bright light as I carried them out of the store as I saw my legs fade away, I didn't scream I only said "...huh, well this isn't going be as boring as I thought, this might get interesting." as I faded away completely as I found myself falling and here we are now.
If I knew this was gonna happen I would have just left with my $15 bucks. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.
I was nearing the bottom as I noticed that I saw a school was my "destination" so to speak.
"Ah crap." I said out loud.
When I hit it nothing but darkness, although I could have just fainted as well, hard to tell. Anyhow from here on out, I don't even know what's going down. But oh well, let's just hope things don't go OFF the rails. Heh, that pun was so bad it was good.
A light shined as I felt myself get up.
"Hm... as a red wearing fat Italian had said many times before, 'Let's-a go'."
I woke up as I felt a headache as I took a look at my surroundings as I saw the school from earlier, I looked at a statue of a horse as I saw my reflection.
I was a pale white teen with a baseball hat, a striped baseball shirt with a black long sleeve shirt underneath and black sweatpants. Soon after almost finishing my examination I noticed the four blood red eyes with pitch black irises. I closed them yet my vision wasn't affected. "Heh, weird..." I said with a smirk as I picked up an iron baseball bat that was right next to me and put it away in what I could only assume is a pocket dimension as I noticed 3 white bracelets on my arms. I smiled a bit as I recognized them "The Add-Ons" as I walked up to the school.
"Heh, I wonder who or what I'll befriend and fight with?" I thought to myself. It was no surprise really, I had a knack for wondering my future back home. I headed off into the school ready for anything.
The hallway seemed to be packed as students came from left and right. It was so frustrating, I wanted to scream.
I noticed a adult woman with white clothing and multi colored hair. I assumed she was a teacher or at least the principle or vice principle if I was lucky.
With nobody else that would listen to me I walked up to her to ask her a question.
"Um pardon me ma'am, I'm new here and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the principle or at least the vice principle?"
She turned to me and said "Yes I'm the principle, you can call me Principle Celestia."
I smirked at my luck "Great, I'm Sans, but my friends back home call me "The Batter" due to my skills at baseball."
I wasn't lying, I was moderately well skilled at Baseball back home, but my stance and expression resembled that of The Batter to the point were my friends and any student who saw me and even played OFF would call me The Batter.
She said "Ok Sans, I just need you to do some paperwork and I'll make you a schedule."
"Alright then, lead the way." I said as I followed her to her office.
This walk gave me the time to look at my surroundings. It was almost similar to my old high school that I went to. I noticed that a few students skin colors were different colors, and I'm not being racist, they literally had skin of any color you can think of. I even noticed a few had crazy hairstyles and colors. One even had rainbow hair and stared at me as if she wanted to challenge me and another with pink poofy hair, hair that looked as if she had been hit a great wind or sonic boom, and she looked and grinned at me. I wondered who they were and what they're looks meant for me. I decided to mentally filed it under "Look into later during free time"
Eventually we reach her office. I won't talk about the paperwork and all that. To put it bluntly, it was boring. I soon was handed a schedule as I examine it carefully.
Locker: 2007 Combination: 11-03-16 1st Hour: Gym (6:13-7:17) 2nd Hour: Math (7:21-8:25) 3rd Hour: World History (8:29-9:33) 4th Hour: English (9:37-10:41) Lunch (10:45-11:13) 5th Hour: Free Period (11:16-12:21) 6th Hour: Science (12:25-1:30)
I nodded "Seems simple Enough. Mind If I start tomorrow?"
She looked at a clock, 12:50. "I guess, since you did come in pretty late and school ends in 40 minutes. I guess you can explore your surroundings, maybe make some friends I guess. You can explore the school, just don't leave until the bell rings. In the meantime I'll set up your Locker.
I noticed the combination and felt as if I'd seen it before, eh It's Probally not important.
I began to look around and I noticed something, there were a lot of groups out during their free period. One group played guitars, another read books, a group of kids beating up a girl with bacon colored hair, a group- wait what was that last one?
I walked up and a group of kids seemed to be cheering around them things along the lines of "Get her Brute", "Get the freak", "She has no right to be here" & "Show that girl that we're the dominant species here" I began to look around to see if anyone was gonna help her, however I noticed 3 knocked out girls on the floor, two were the girls from earlier and a blonde cowgirl. And the other two looked scared, one had long pink hair that covered one of her eyes, the other had purple curls and appeared to be trying to act brave, yet she didn't fight she stood back. The five of them I assume are friends of the poor girl with bacon colored hair.
I took a deep breath and walked in with courage as I prepared to fight.
"Hey leave her alone!" I shouted without a second thought. I saw the bully, he was a large one reminding me of Enoch. He also wore a black t-shirt with a skull on it and long white pants. His eyes and hair were a blood red shade. Curious of what I was up against, I decided to use Wide Angle on him to examine his stats.
Brute Force A basic high school bully. HP: 5 CP: 0 A Basic Tutorial Opponent
I could help but internally smirk '5 HP. I'll be done rather quickly, a common spectre has more HP than this dolt.'
Brute looked at me and said with a hillbilly accent "What'd you say to me... PUNK!?"
I had no fear and said "Why are you attacking that innocent girl?"
He then looked at me in a threating way "Listen pal, she's not an innocent girl. Now get out of here before I kick your ass like them." He said and pointed at the 3 girls he defeated.
I stood my ground "Listen I may be new here and I may not know what she did to any of you. But I'm not gonna leave a girl who's getting picked on and beaten up. I'll stand by my statement, leave her alone." I said, a hint of determination in my voice.
Brute looked at me, bloodlust flashed in his eyes. "That's the last straw, come here runt!"
I stared at this bully and dodged a punch. I wasted no time as I whip out my mighty bat to strike him, but I saw something odd about this situation. When my attack connected He took 159 damage, yet the 5 HP bully still stood before me.
I had the common sense to Wide Angle him a second time, just to see this new foes stats.
Possessed Brute A Ghost in a bully's body HP: ???? CP: ???? Your first of many opponents
I saw him use competence and attack me with a move called "Swirly" I felt dizzy from that attack and my attack barely grazed him. I had to act fast as he then used an attack called "Blackmail" and I felt paralyzed from it. He then let out a few basic attacks to do some mediocre damage to me.
The moment I could move again, I was done messing around and hit him with a Magic Homerun to do "a special attack of important impact" to him.
He still stood but I could tell he was getting wearied out as sweat rolled down his face. I then decided to end it here and now with an Ultimate Homerun. As I poured a 4th of my competence into this attack. I struck and he was defeated as the ghost left his body. I used Wide Angled once more.
Possessing Ghost A basic foe outside of a body HP:1000 CP: 100 Can be killed rather quickly when it's not possessing a body
The ghost rushed which I countered and destroyed in a Furious Homerun.
Purification successful.
I looked around to see what the other students thought. But other than the bacon haired girl (who was making me hungry for bacon or ham) and her friends, nobody else was around as they must have ran off when the real battle started.
I stared at hurt girl as she and the 2 girls look at me a dark expression plastered as I did what nobody expected next...
She sees my hand as I help her up, the grim expression turned to a smirk as I put away my cast iron.
She was awestruck "W-was that a ghost?"
"Yup, just needed to knock the darn thing out of the park." I joked nonchalantly.
"W-Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Sans, AKA: The Batter." I said smugly and asked "Now who are you?"
"S-Sunset Shimmer..." She said with caution
"Why were they bulling you? Also what's with the caution? I'm not gonna hurt you." I asked and said with a pat on her back.
"A while back, I was a bully, a huge one at that. However I recently had a change of heart and now every bully wants to get even with me." She said sadly.
Before I could respond, I was tackled by a speeding blur and caught off guard. Turns out the blue one had just woken up.
I heard the White one and Pastel Yellow one gasp and yell at her.
"Rainbow Dash, that gentleman SAVED Sunset's life from Brute." A fancy accented voice said
"Like that's possible, if I or AJ couldn't beat the jerk, nobody can." The rainbow haired girl said with a tomboyish voice
"Um, but he did. He whipped out a bat and fought on par with Brute." A quiet voice said, barely audible.
Apparently this Rainbow Dash girl ignored that last part as she spat out at me. "You only stopped Brute to have first shot at hitting Sunset, isn't it bub!?"
"No I only stopped him to save an innocent." I retorted at her.
I heard 2 new voices, most likely the 2 that were knocked out with Rainbow Dash, join in the 6 girls conversation while I was still pinned down.
"Where the buck is Brute and who is the feller Rainbow pinned down." a cowgirl accent spoke
"Oh a new friend! Do you like Pizza, cupcakes, cak-"
"Pinkie dear, please don't overwhelm him. He just saved my life." Sunset said.
Pinkie immediately stopped with a "Okey dokey loki."
I got up, knocked Rainbow off me, and headed off.
"For the record, I could have done that at anytime I wanted." I said for clarity as I headed off and left the school.
If I had been a mind reader, I would've heard these thoughts.
Sunset: Who is he? Also why do I feel related to him in some way?
Rainbow: That jerk beat the biggest bully next to former Sunset. The moment I have a chance to fight him in someway, I will beat him. That I promise to myself.
Applejack: He beat Bruce? Man there might be more to him than we might think.
Rarity: Hmm... I wonder if I could make him some sort of outfit? Maybe he could lose the hat and put on a tux...
Fluttershy: Oh dear, I wonder if we'll ever see him again, maybe he likes cats.
Pinkie Pie: (Unintelligible fast talking. Something about cake and parties.)
If I had known what they were thinking I would've cleared things up. Sadly I couldn't read minds.
But I know this song and dance displaced go through and knowing someone might need a guy who can destroy specters for them. I found a coin in my pocket and smirk
"If anyone has a ghost problem or your face to face with a foe you can't beat alone. I will try to help you as soon as I can." I pray out to the coin as flipped the coin up high as it glowed. A gold coin with a side view of my face with 3 rings in the background. The backside showed the head of a crocodile with a baseball cap and the 3 rings appeared darker and were melting.
I tossed my coin as it vanished making my chances of meeting others like myself. The possibilities seemed endless.
...If only I had known what the future held for me.
I wouldn't change a thing.
A Home and a Duel with a Killer Robot in my dreams
Well sorry this took so long (More on that at the bottom)
Anyway spoilers for the Undertale Mettaton Battles in the Pacifist route and the Genocide route coming up.
This may not have much to do with Equestria Girls at first glance, but this is an important chapter nonetheless.
Anyway Enjoy.
I began my walk around town to find a home. I'd seen a number of abandoned homes, but some were either already claimed by others, destroyed with explosives, or in very poor living conditions.
I eventually found an old abandoned van in a junkyard, with some work I could get it up and running again in no time flat.
I put my bat away and began to tinker with it. I got it and running in a matter of time. It reminded me of back home, when I used to help my dad fix up the car when it failed to start.
I found a can of gas that had a moderate amount and I was on the road in no time flat.
I managed to find my license with my photo swapped for that of The Batter's face in my pocket.
"Clever..." was all I could say about it.
I hadn't noticed that there were yellow eyes of a white cat tracking me and a voice with a French accent spoke from or around those eyes, even if I didn't hear it.
"By the queen's thousand faces, so that demented sportsman is here in this dimension as well. But something is a little off about him. I shall keep the closest of eyes on him, I need to see what he does here. "
That Night..
I slept in the back on a bed I found in a moderately good quality with a mattress with pillows and blankets in an ok condition. It was a rough night. I had to reflect upon what happened. I was dragged from my family and life, and turned into a being of incredible power. I had known one day I would dragged away from them.
I bet your wondering how I can be so calm. Well I had once heard of people disappearing. I had even prepared myself to become a "displaced" or so I've heard on the internet. I even spent an hour or two mentally preparing myself in case something like this happened. I even studied some of the more popular displaces to get a basic idea. I may not know this world, but a friend showed me this show that's related called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Witchcraft" or something, I didn't pay attention much to those details of the show, but it gave me a feeling akin to that, weird.
Those were my last thoughts before sleep overcame upon me.
When I came to, I found myself in a familiar room with a certain rectangular robot. "Mettaton..." I muttered under my breath knowing but also sensing the ghost inside that metal shell.
"Welcome beauty. I'm Mettaton, now then I just need you're SOUL so I can save humanity. Can I have it? Pretty please?" He said. I noticed his mocking tone at the end.
"Sorry 'pal' but that's a no can do." I said calmly, not letting his beauty get to me. 'Wait, what beauty? He's a freaking oversized calculator with a mic. But EX and Neo though...' I thought realizing what I thought and shaking it off.
"Well then, if you're not gonna hand it over willingly..." He started and got into his familiar battle pose. "I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO TAKE IT BY FORCE!" He shouted at me.
"...Purification in Progress..." I muttered, I ready to purify. I pulled the three rings off my arms and threw them back. They then grew in size and hovered behind me. The Add-Ons were also ready to purify and the battle started.
I rushed at him and struck him with my bat. To no damage to him.
Attack > Competences > Long Chain
As Alpha uses Long Chain and the other Add-Ons just attack. I decided to see what he was made of.
Attack > Competences > Wide Angle
Mettaton Mechanical Metal Star Incarnation HP: 1600 CP: 1000 Strong resistance against Metal
I simply shrug, so Run with Belief was out of the question as I run around Mettaton and smash his face when he was spinning, still no damage. I remembered that Mettaton has the highest defense in Undertale. He threw a couple of mini versions of him at us as they threw hearts at us. Me and the Add-Ons were hit badly as we all had low HP.
Attack > Competences > Save Secret Base
As our HP recovered, I needed a new plan. I was running low on CP, so I checked my items for any Silver Flesh.
Attack > Items > Silver Flesh
"Huh, neat." I thought out loud.
"It's time for a quiz darling." Mettaton shouted
"Wait what!?" I shouted but the quiz show began.
Sudden a question and 4 choices popped up.
What's the prize for answering correctly? ◾ A) Money ◾ B) Mercy ◾ C) New Car ◾ D) More questions
Remembering Undertale I hit "More questions."
"Correct. Now then let's move on." Mettaton shouted.
What are robots made of? ◾ A) Hopes&Dreams ◾ B) Metal&Magic ◾ C) Snips&Snails ◾ D) Sugar&Spic
The 3rd question, maybe he wants to go a different order? I thought and selected "Metal&Magic".
"Too easy for you huh?" Mettaton asked me.
I was starting to get sick of his crap at that point. So he has a max DEF so how do I make him vulnerable again? Oh yeah, there's a switch on his back. That makes him vulnerable. But how to turn him around? ...Yes that should work.
"Hey Metta-ego! There's a fan that wants your autograph!" I shouted
"A fan, well I can't leave them wait-"
I flipped his switch.
"...Did you just... flip my switch?" Mettaton said slowly.
Suddenly he began to malfunction and erupt into smoke as spotlights suddenly shine.
"Oh yes~" He said making me feel awkward.
"Ohhhh my. If you flipped my switch, that can only mean one thing. You're desperate for the premiere of my new body. How rude... Lucky for you, I've been aching to show this off for a long time. So... as thanks, I'll give you a handsome reward. I'll make your last living moments... " He reveals his human EX form.
Quick to act first I decide to see this "new foe's" stats were.
Attack > Competences > Wide Angle
Mettaton EX Hot Legged Machine Incarnation HP: 1600 CP: 3000 Strong resistance against Metal
I see Mettaton EX start posing/dancing. I stared as the 3 Add-Ons awaited my command
Attack > Competences > Photographic Blur
Attack > Competences > Classic Drama
Attack > Competences > Ultimate Homerun
Attack > Competences > Entire Chain
As Mettaton's defense disappears with the power of "Photographic Blur" and I gain a boost of power thanks to "Classic Drama" I send him packing with an "Ultimate Homerun" as Alpha sends an "Entire Chain" his way.
Mettaton then proceeds to kick me with an attack that reminds me of Chun-Li's "Lightning Legs" technique.
Feeling crippled I kneeled forward in pain. Mettaton Raised his leg over me.
"Say goodnight forever dar-"
[Stop Music]
Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun
I finally strike him hard in his mechanical heart on his stomach.
"-ling?" he finished looking down at the pain and sighing at it.
"H-Hu-Huh? W-Well do-don't thi-think th-this is ov-over y-yet, da-darling. I st-still ha-have my 'Hu-human Erad-eradication functions' th-that h-have y-yet to be re-removed. W-well, I-T'S SH-SHOWTIME!" he said, his voice sounding like it has a glitch, most likely from the homerun to the gut.
Stage lights began blaring as a familiar yet different form of the tin can ghost stood before me.
I stared and decided to once again check this fabulous idiot's stats.
Mettaton NEO Glamorous Human Destroying Robotic Incarnation HP: 30000 CP: ∞ Strong Weakness to all elements
'So basically I can just do this and win' I thought.
Attack > Mettaton NEO
I swung my cast iron without trying as my attack struck twice with the power of meat and metal. The power of the awesome but impractical Ashley Bat, AKA: "The Ultimate Bat"
Mettaton's HP fell rather quickly.
"GUESS YOU DON'T WANNA JOIN MY FANCLUB?" He said, his voice both fixed and amplified thanks to his new form. Before exploding before my eyes.
Purification Successful... Gained 50000 EXP.
Level 5 gained.
The Batter learned "Save 1st Harmony" and it replaced "Save first base" and learned "Run with Kindness" and it replaced "Run with Courage".
"...Well that was both underwhelming and just plain sad there." I said as I stared at where Mettaton NEO once stood.
I started to feel myself wake up slowly. Welp time to go back home or at least my "New Home"?
I swear I heard a skeleton scream "Oh My God!" and another skeleton laugh But how I knew that they were skeletons is the real mystery.
I woke up and saw my clock "5:35! I should start heading over to the scho-" I shouted making my way to the front seat, only to look out the windshield, and see the school.
Wait? Why did I park over he- oh yeah, didn't want to miss my official day of school here. But I swear, between that stunt I pulled fighting a stupid bully and using a bat in school, not to mention the stupid spectre that, I wouldn't be surprised if I was expelled. Surely they haven't seen weirder over there. Right?
Oh how wrong I was, but the weirdness has just begun.
Meanwhile 3 months earlier in a restaurant/café near the school.
As I entered the school the minute it opened, I began to stroll the halls to pass the time as students slowly arrive in their cars and on the buses. Soon after 30 minutes school started and all seemed well.
...that was the intercom turned on as Celestia's voice rang out.
"CAN SANS BATTER AND BRUTE FORCE, COME STRAIGHT TO MY OFFICE RIGHT AWAY?"
'Here we go...' I thought as I looked at my teacher who then nodded and allowed me to leave to the office.
When I got there I sat next to Brute, who was oddly smirking. Celestia sat on the opposite side of her desk. An angry glare stared me down, odd wasn't Brute the one that's supposed to get in trouble, I didn't feel all that intimidated but Brute looked like her was gonna crap his pants if her glare went any angrier.
"I suppose you know why I call you two down here?" She asked, the expression still stood.
I simply smirked and joked "Let me guess. Atomic Bomb? Nuclear Radiation? A giant marshmallow man destroying downtown Manhattan/Manehattan (Whatever they call it here)".
The two stared at me with faces that said "Wut?"
"...What? It's a legitimate question." I said.
"...Well no, none of those oddly specific scenarios." Celestia started. "You see I heard many students, including Brute himself, state that you attacked Brute just randomly."
"Wait What!?" I shouted 'That's not true I was defending that Sunset girl. Damn that Brute. I need a plan PRONTO!'
It had been 2 hours since I heard the intercom and if I know Brute, he will weasel his way out of any trouble. He even did it when I was still evil until I ended my evil rule recently thanks to Princess Twilight. I some sort of smile as I thought of my friend from home.
But then I thought of that Sans fella, he seems nice. But I wonder how he and Brute ar-
...he and BRUTE are being interrogated. Brute will drag him down and do anything not to get in trouble.
Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good.
I raised my hand "Mrs. Cheerilee?"
She looked at me. "Yes Sunset?" She asked
"You know how Celestia called Brute and the new kid Sans?"
"Yes?" She asked cautiously.
"I need to see her pronto because she might have the facts all wrong, I was a key witness in why there called down and Celestia hasn't gotten my testimony yet. This new kid Sans's life depends on it."
"Is it that important?" She asked sarcastically.
"Believe me, Brute will use every lie he can to drag this kid down to beyond my deepness in love here."
"...Alright go. I'll write you a hall pass." She said sighing and did so and handed me the slip of paper.
With it I headed off to save the mysterious boy who calls himself "Sans" and "The Batter". I hope he's doing fine
I need a new idea nothings working.
Apparently Brute says that I fought him with no warning, I whipped out a bat and beat the crap out of him with it until I was done.
I know he's lying but Celestia said everyone she asked confirmed his testimony. Not good.
"Mr. Batter. You set the record time of getting in school and getting suspended. You are officially expelled. The witnesses and testimony prove it."
I was losing all hope and wanted to Ultimate Homerun my face into oblivion. I felt I had 1/1000 left on a life bar right now.
"Principle Celestia! You've yet to get MY testimony!" Sunset barged in and shouted.
The 3 of us were startled by Sunset's appearance, but I realized that Sunset had come in to save my butt.
Celestia stared "S-Sunset? Y-you're a w-witness?"
I wish I had a camera, Brute's face with whiter than a cloud. He knew he was more finished that a defeated angel.
"Yes I am, I am in fact a KEY WITNESS of the crime. Let me tell you what really happened." Sunset finished.
"...and that's what happened." She finished.
Celestia began to glare at Brute "So Brute was beating you up and when Rainbow, Applejack, and even Pinkie Pie went up to defend you, he knocked them out. Then Sans came in and pulled out a bat and even fought on par with Brute!?" Celestia summarized followed by Me and Sunset nodding. She decided to leave the ghost part out and I agreed silently with her.
"Yes, if you don't believe us, ask Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. They can confirm this testimony."
"Brute Force! You lied to me, beat up someone, and tried to get an innocent kid who did the right thing expelled! You shall have to get expelled yourself!" Celestia shouted and glared at him. Brute was even paler than before. Call me cruel for wanting to take a picture if I could but still.
Brute left the room sadly but not before giving me and Sunset a death glare saying "The next time I see you two, you shall die."
Celestia then turned to me "Sans, I'm so sorry about this. Many claim Brute is a manipulative liar and will drag anyone down without any consequences for himself. I should've asked you for you're side of the story. Brute just stopped me saying you'd kill me without a second thought."
"It's alright, I'm just glad this is over." I said. It wasn't my first time in a courtroom, well it is in reality for me. But I've played Ace Attorney so I knew what to do to stall.
"Alright, I'll let the teachers you've missed know what happened. Enjoy your lunch you two." She said happily.
Me and Sunset were sent to lunch due to the incident taking so long we've missed the last few hours.
"Where were you? Kissing behind the bleachers?" Pinkie and Rainbow joked at us causing Sunset to blush "Rainbow!"
The rest of them either laughed at our (well mostly Sunset's, I didn't give a crap about they think) expense.
I simply wondered what last night was about, manly the leveling up to Level 5. I have the Ultimate Homerun, I should be well over Level 45. Also what was that "Run with Kindness over Run with Courage" and "Save 1st Harmony over Save First Base" thing about? I decided to see if I could see my stats while I'm at it.
I found out how to do it, but I don't understand how. Anyway I saw Run with Kindness's and Save 1st Harmony's descriptions.
Run with Kindness: Special Attack of the Element of Harmony Kindness
Save 1st Harmony: Restores 25% HP thanks to Elements of Harmony
Elements of What?
Well, it seems this world operates under a different elemental system. If these "Elements of Harmony" come up in a conversation, I'll be sure to ask.
"ns? SANS!" Pinkie shouted interrupting my train of thought and snapping me out of the pause screen.
"Who!? What!? Where!?" I shouted and then remembered what was going on. Lunch had just finished. I threw my trash away and went to my free period.
School finally let out as I said bye to Sunset and her friends before heading into my van. However it was short as I felt something hit me as I fell onto my bed. I didn't know it at the time but I was going to meet another like me
I was in a new location that seemed to be in an odd pitch black room and I saw a figure in red with a sword and shield. I wanted to say "hi" and "where are we" but a look in his eyes told me I was gonna die so I whipped out my Ashley Bat as I summoned my 3 Add-Ons.
He sheathed only the sword then reached into his pouch. Soon, he pulled out a small red rod. Taking aim, he fired a stream of flames at me.
I felt them hit me and my HP lower by 50. “...Purification In Progress...” I muttered as the area began to change if only a little. The area began to add some familiar things around us. It was "Battle Time"
I moved up and prepared to strike him with an attack of important impact.
He reacted by pulling out his shield to block the attack, I could tell he felt power behind that swing because his arm was vibrating. He than attempted rammed with his shield
I was helpless to dodge it… or so it seemed at first
Attack > Competences > Long Chain
A Chain of Light struck his arm causing the shield to drop from his hand. I saw the add-on “Thanks Alpha” I shouted to the Add-On. I decied to see his stats.
Attack > Competence > Wide Angle
Link A displaced with the looks and powers of 3 different heroes of Hyrule. ??? HP ??? CP No Resistance/Weaknesses
He raised his blade skyward and began to channel energy into it. Once the blade was fully charged, he jumped up into the air and brought the mighty sword in an downward thrust. The moment it blade struck the ground, it sent forth a burst of electricity.
I felt the magical lightning strike all of us and I could tell one more of those could kill us.
Attack > Competences > Save Secret Base
I felt my wounds disappear as the Add-Ons looked better too. I needed a new plan, let’s see items might be all he can do to here. So let’s see what we can do
Attack > Competences > Radical Blur
Attack > Competences > Classic Drama
Attack > Competences > Impossible Embrace
His shield was literally ripped out of his arm. I also began to glow with some sort of power. Then he suddenly fell down to one of his knees from an sudden paralyzation. I heard him grit his teeth in frustration.
I smirked and walked up to him Purification will be mine. I noticed my ATK Bar, which I now noticed filled up, perfect.
Attack > Competences > Ultimate Homerun
A 4th of my CP drained as I swung with enough force to kill a Secretary in one blow as I sent him flying.
He was sent spiraling out of control. Unable to withstand the pain, he even let loose a loud scream, his body was still is intact.
Quickly, he pulled out a small brown nut and quickly threw it down at the ground. The moment it hit it, it sent out a blinding flash of light but thanks to The Secret Day, I wasn’t blinded. But I felt paralyzed, I saw Omega hover near me.
Attack > Competences > Inverse Perspective
I looked up to see my foe. I noticed he put on a mask, a mask I knew from Majora’s Mask. But I had a plan to even the odds if I needed to. I knew not to underestimate him or get cocky, but I decided to wait for him to put it on. Might as well wait for him to finish and transform.
“Hey Zacharie did you get a new mask? Whatever happened to your Frog and Cat Masks?” I joked at him.
He was about to put it on but my joke caused him freeze for just a moment, but then he put it on.
Donning the mask, he then suddenly screamed out from the pressure. Dark blue energy swirled all around him before finishing with a flash of light, my foe's body changed into that of a Fierce Deity, something like the corrupted guardians of OFF in Termina, the only difference was that his red cloak changed to an bright white. Reaching up, he lowered his hood down to reveal his face, it held similarities to three other Links.
Slowly, his eyes opened to reveal them to be nothing but bright white energy.
I stared at this "new foe" and smirked
Attack > Competence > Wide Angle
Fierce Deity Link A displaced hero with the body and powers of a godlike demon ??? HP ??? CP No Resistance/Weaknesses
“I don’t care if you transform into a Fierce Deity or go Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. I’m not backing down!” I shouted at him then Epsilon began to use my items and the rest of us attacked.
However he took this moment to quickly thrust his hands into the air as an blue light of energy gathered, I quickly crouched down to allow the sphere of magic to energy my opponent's body, creating an blue barrier to surround him. He pulled out his blade and charged him head on and once I got closer, I started to furiously swing my weapon at him. The blue barrier ignored everything we threw at him, all except for Run with Belief, somehow it still managed to hurt him.
He began swinging his sword at me as I was dodging all but his first three swings. I rushed back and dodged his slashes and decided to counter.
Attack > Attack > Fierce Deity Link
I swing and struck him twice with the power of metal and meat and was shocked I didn’t do any damage.
Wait, Nayru’s love runs on a magic bar and he’s gotta run out sometime right?
But then he slowly sheathed my sword, he took a deep breath before raising his hand again. he taunted me by using the ‘bring it’ gesture.
I rushed forward as he pretend to run up only for a plan to form midway.
Attack > Competences > Attack (Omega)
...now then...
Attack > Competences > Furious Homerun
Attack > Competences > Saturated Chain
Attack > Competences > Surrealistic Tragedy
Once my attacks ended, he pulled out his blade weapon, swinging it in an spinning arc.
I felt the blow and was sent flying leaving my add-ons to act on auto mode somehow.
His barrier began to blink rapidly, hinting that it was drawing near the end of it’s duration, he then placed himself between all of the rings and thrusted his hands back. The moment the barrier drops, he swung his arm around and slammed the ground, unleashing an explosion of fire.
I got up and saw the trouble.
Attack > Competences > Save Secret Base
A huge chunk of HP restored and I tried to end this.
Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun
(Music Stop)
I saw he attempted to raise his sword to block the attack, but I knew that he knew it was no use, I heard him mutter “I’m sorry… Moon Dancer..”
...Who the hell is Moon Dancer?
Miss…
“What? I missed how is that- Well I’ll just simply-”
Attack > Attack > Fierce Deity Link (All 3 Add-Ons)
Miss...
Miss…
Miss…
“What’s going on here!?” I shouted.
I was confused, why was I missing. I kept attacking but to no avail, what’s going on here?
I began to look around hoping to find the source of my opponent's luck. However the familiar sound of a ticket being used was heard? I saw him, it seemed like his hearth restored. What happened? What did he do? More importantly, where did he get a Fortune Ticket from?
“What? Where did you...? You know what nevermind.” I said and once again got ready to duel.
However he suddenly made a hovering gear platform pop out from under him as he moved away
I simply stared and comically shouted in both confusion and pure rage “WHERE THE F%#* DID THAT COME FROM!?”
I was honestly too distracted by the very thing that made me rage when I tried to apply logic to Zelda.
Eventually, the Spinner ran outta.. Well, whatever helps it propel itself when there’s nothing to attached to, I look behind me to see him flabbergasted. So, using this moment, I decided to try and talk him out of this. “Look, whatever it is you’re after, I probably don’t have. Come to think of it, this is out of the normal from the mare of the night.” I commented.
“What are talking about you’re after me!? Why else would we be here?” I shouted back in pure rage
He blinked in confusion. “You’re in my mind, aren’t you? I mean, I’m asleep because of an Manticore attack… Right?” he asked back.
“I’m not gonna any lies ‘pal’...” I spit the word “pal” out like poison “...but if you know what’s good for you, you’d better leave now. Or else you’re gonna have… a BAD TIME.” I said angerly.
“Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess! I didn’t ask to be here!” I yelled back in a mocking tone.
I nearly laughed at the hilarity of that old joke. “Welp, sorry if you’re speaking the truth pal but I can’t take any chances after you struck first.” The Batter began to change as well. He began to grow in size as his arms grew without muscles and his legs began to grow as well, but not by that much. The most notable difference was the head, it grew out as it resembled an alligator head with hundreds of teeth and pure white circles just barely touching the jawline. The clothes still stayed without much change. However the Add-Ons oddly began to melt into slag and became unusable.
He stared up at me. “Ya know what?” he said as I pulled out his bow. He then quickly notched it along the strings then took out a bomb and combined them. "FU&% YOU!" before he released the arrow straight into my gaping maw.
I roared in pain from the exploding arrow ‘*Grr* Somehow I'm literally the Bad Batter? How is this even possible? Still, I felt a huge boost to my stats and decided to finish this guy off’.
Attack > Competences > Ultimate Homerun
I swung my arm at him as I went for a critical hit.
He rolled around me quickly going into a spinning slash attack at my backside. “You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!” he said mocking me.
I tried to smirk at him, but it was hard to tell he was. Even after he was sent flying from the back slice, so I decided to use another Competence attack.
Attack > Competences > Run with Belief
I sped right back at him and smash him with my hand.
He couldn’t react fast enough as he went skidding along the onyx colored floor, he then slowly got up and spit out blood. Followed by that he quickly took out his bow again, but instead of normal arrows, he used Silver Arrows. Taking aim, he fired at me.
“*ROAR!*” I roared out as I felt the silver arrow pierce my eye. It even knocked me down. Returning me to normal, the arrow stuck in my eye. How it did that is a true mystery.
“*Cough* Hey pal, look I’m sorry. You did strike first after all. So how about we talk it out? Alright Pal?” I said as blood leaked from my eye as I pulled it out “One Second.”
Attack > Competences > Save Third Base
My entire HP gauge restored and with the arrow out I tossed it back to him.
He blinked once, twice, three times. “Anyone would considering how you look, you summoned Rings, we’re standing in almost literal darkness, I mean I fainted from blood loss dealing with a monster, I bet you would've reacted the same way."
“Heh I guess so. Anyway friend, why don’t you just go ahead and shake my hand?” I said
He eyed me warily and took a good look at my hand. He pulled out his sword and aimed the handle at me as he held the blade. “Just wanna make sure.” he said. “My name is Jeff.. Or considering that I look different, I guess you can call me Link.” I said.
So he is another displaced like me. Huh neat.
I held the sword handle and nothing happened “Um? Is something supposed to happen?”
“Ok, so you're clean.” he said as he put his sword away, he held out his hand and took of my hand.
It shook it and said “Name’s Sans, or since I’m now The Batter you can also call me that I guess.”
“Oh, so you fell victim to this whole mess, huh? I mean the whole people disappearing act after visiting an con, yadda-yadda, etc, etc. But in my case, I opened up a treasure chest containing the Triforce that was left at my doorstep. “ he said as I let go of my hand.
“Huh, I was dressed as The Batter and I was just buying replicas of the 3 Ad-” I remember their melting condition. “...hold on for a second.”
Attack > Items > Joker (x3)
The 3 Add-Ons were fixed and healed slightly in mere seconds.
“What are those anyways and what do they do? Well, besides casting spells from what you’ve shown me.” he asked. I repeated what the Wikia online said about them.
“They’re Add-Ons, They’re enigmatic floating objects that assist their owner, thus bolstering their overall power. All of them are named after Greek letters. They act as if they are additional party members when acquired, in standard RPG fashion, even though their natures are not explained In game. Each Add-On has its own unique set of competences that allows it to play a role in the party unique to the others. One might either be an offensive caster, a healer, or a buff caster. The Batter can collect up to three Add-Ons throughout the game.” I said (Go)
He gave this some thought. “Any chance one of those could be an support?” he asked as he rubbed the back of his head. “I mean I was turned into Link and given access to a lot of equipment but sadly no partner like in His past games.. It’d be damn useful if I had something to give me info, whatever powerful being out there, whoever sent me here, never did give me any partners.. Then again, knowing the craziness around here, my partner would just like me, Displaced as someone they’re not.” he said and asked.
I shook my head sadly “Sorry, they can’t talk and are more like weapons really than allies in my opinion. But I can teach you my Competence ‘Wide Angle’, which can show a foe’s Max HP and Magic/CP and a basic description of who they are and they’re weakness or resistance, but if they’re a boss the weakness is replaced with something like ‘First Boss’ or something. Is that good enough?”
“Good enough for me.” he said with a smile, clapping his hands together.
“Alright, so just simply focus on me and only me right now. Try to picture what I’m capable of.” I said
He blinked a couple of times. “I was expecting something difficult, but ok.” I decied to aim at myself to see what he saw as well.
Attack > Competence > Wide Angle
Sans (The Batter) A Displaced Hero who can keep up with gods 5000 HP 200 CP No Weakness/Resistance
“A Displaced Hero? Is that what we’re called, I mean it makes sense but… Why?” Jeff asked, reaching up to take off his cap and scratch his head.
“How the hell should I know? That’s what the internet called them when I looked it up. By the way you still have the mask on.”
I heard something break, weird. “Oh! Right..” he said, reaching up and grabbed onto his face. He screamed with two different voices until he turned back to normal and put it away. “So.. We’re called Displaced?” he said crossing his arms. “Seems whoever started this whole mess, is also the cause of it. We won’t know unless we find a way back, or else go mad like Samurai Jack.” he said. I internally smirked at the reference.
The two of us continued to talk throughout the hours, mostly explaining Displaced, tokens, so on and so forth, I don’t think you people need to know all of this. Slowly but surely, the world began to fade away into a bright white light as they look at each other
“Well this seems like goodbye for now. See you on the other side Jeff. Till we cross bats and blades again Goodbye!.” I shouted to my new friend and ally.
“Don’t forget to find my token, I'm not sure where it will appear, but listen for a ringing tune, you should find my Howling Stone in your world, just sing what you hear, eventually we’ll meet high above.. Well, whichever we go, high above the clouds of your Equestria or mine. So until then, Sans!” he yelled back.
The world soon faded to white, returning the two Displaced to their respective worlds.
Purification Successful... Gained 60000 EXP.
Level 8 gained.
The Batter learned "Heroic Homerun" and it replaced "Furious Homerun" and "Save 2nd Harmony" and it replaced "Save Second Base"
I woke up and looked outside into the pitch black night and saw it was 2:40 AM. I then got out of my van and locked it and ran off at supersonic speeds once I was a safe distance from my home.
I began to run off and search for this "Howling Stone". I smirked as I ran, after all...
...I was convinced I was no longer alone in this mess.
(Side Chapter) The Mane Six watch DEATH BATTLE: The Batter V.S. Super Perfect Cell
It was an oddly normal day with our chaos god as Trepp and Alpha were watching funny cat videos, Deadman was watching the mane six watch DEATH BATTLE. They had just finished watching Toph and Garra duking it out, and Harmony was making sure nothing funny was going on with Equestria.
However the sound of knocking caught their attention as a rectangular outline appeared to side of the room as it turned into a white outline of a normal door. It eventually opened revealing a starry night sky with a small orange X in the background as a lone young teen with dark black hair stepped through. He wore a white sweater with a black heart near the top and in middle of it on the front side of it. He also wore a similar shade of black pants and boots. His most striking feature was the white cat mask with no nose, black holes where his eyes should be, and finally the mask had a odd looking but familiar grin. "Buenos días mis amigos." he said.
"HEY ZACHARIE." Deadman said to the new visitor.
"Hey Deadman." the new visitor named Zacharie said back.
Of course he wasn't the real Zacharie, but due to the gods resemblance to the merchant from OFF, he had decided to go by Zacharie.
"SO WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING MY PAL."
"I've been busy with a displace I've made."
"WHO DID YOU CHOOSE? LUIGI? WALUIGI? RAPUNZEL? SANS? SHANTAE?"
"Ironically Sans is his real name, but he has the body of The Batter from OFF."
"AH YES, YOU'RE FAVORITE GAME."
"So what have you been up to lately?"
"I GA-"
“He gave the mane six a complete set of a famous web show and have them watch it one episode at a time and gives them gifts relating to the episode." Alpha said ignoring the fact that Deadman was just about to tell him.
"Which show?"
"DEATH BATTLE." Both Deadman and Alpha said at the same time.
"Fuck I'm down, I love Death Battle. Have they seen Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro yet? I bet Twilight would go braindead after the fight." Zacharie said like it completely normal sentence.
"NO, BUT THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE, THEY'RE ABOUT TO SEE THE REMASTERED FIGHT BETWEEN SAMUS AND BOBA FETT."
"Sweet, hey mind if I show them a battle I've found online?"
"WHO ARE THE FIGHTERS?"
"...I'm not telling."
"(SIGH) ...FINE. BUT YOU'RE DISPLACE HAS TO JOIN THEM THEM IF IT'S RELATED TO THE BATTER GOT IT?"
"Deal. But I get to pick the gifts for them."
"DEAL."
"Now then let go do something real quick." Zacharie said them left back though the door.
Our favorite ponies were preparing to watch the next episode
"Alright we got the drinks and food set up, let's see watch the next epi-" Twilight said only for a bright white light to fill the room.
When the lighted died out It was Sunset as a pony, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, and a mysterious white pony with short white mane and tail that has a black baseball hat on with a striped shirt and 3 white rings for a cutie mark. He wore a Black shirt that covers his forelegs. "Twilight?" Sunset asked.
"Oh hey Sunset, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna we we're just about to watch the next episode of death battle." Twilight said
"Death Battle!?" The white pony shouted "I know that show. It's a fan favorite of mine."
"Um... Who are you?" Rainbow asked
"I am The Batter, let's just say I'm not from around here nor Canterlot High. Now then how did we get here?" He said and asked.
"Usually it's Deadman." Rarity answers.
"Except this time, that would be me." A voice echos throughout the room. It wasn't Deadman's voice, this was startling to the ten.
Suddenly Zacharie appears with a "Hello I'm Zacharie, but I'm not the same one as the one in OFF. Far from it in fact, like Deadman I'm a chaos god. However you don't have to treat me like a god. Also I'm the one who displaced The Batter in the first "
"So you're the one who displaced me? So you're an author then?" Batter asked.
"Yes, but I brought you all here for a reason." Zacharie said.
"Let me guess to watch the next Death Battle?" Celestia guessed.
"Actually both yes and no. We are watching Death Battle, just not the one you were about to watch." Zacharie said.
"Who are the fighters then?" Rainbow asked.
"Oh You'll see..." Zacharie said with a cocky tone as he used his powers to summon a tape and start the episode.
Boomstick: Fathers, some are good, some are bad. So let us have a badass battle to the death between two of the most evil ones.
"This should be interesting." Luna said interested.
Wiz: Like The Batter, who killed his son in cold blood to purify the world…
Everyone expect Zacharie all looked at Sans (To avoid confusion I'm gonna use his real name)
Sans noticed their stares "...What? I may be in his body and call myself that but I'm not evil for Pete's sake."
Boomstick: ...and Super Perfect Cell, who uses his children in combat as soldiers….
"Super Perfect? This should be really interesting like Luna said." Celestia mused.
Wiz: I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills, to find out who would win a Death Battle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Batter
Wiz: The Batter is a vey strange and mysterious man of few words. However, when he does speak, he acts blunt, straightforward, never really hiding his true intentions.
Boomstick: Yeah, he’s very one note when it comes to his goal. And his goal is to purify the world. He will flat out ignore pure beings, going on the most direct path to kicking impure spirits ass.
"Interesting so he'll spare innocents?" Twilight, Starlight, and Sunset all asks to nobody in particular
Wiz: That’s right, The Batter also has no qualms with killing innocent people who may get caught in the crossfire of his mission, or killing innocent or good people who get in his way or become ‘Impure,’ which has a wide girth in definition. Basically, anything the plot deems The Batter must kill is impure.
"Hell yeah!" Luna and Rainbow cheered, already liking this guy as Sans smirked at their cheering.
Harold Bat - Default Bat - Attack Power: 5 Katsuhiro Bat - Automatically applies the Plastic element to attacks - Attack Power: 32 Ashley Bat - Automatically applies the Meat and Metal element to attacks - Attack Power: 21 - Basically hits twice for every attack - Increases accuracy and critical hit chance - The ultimate bat
Boomstick: His bats are actually confirmed by The Judge himself to be made of IRON. That's gonna do some serious damage to a guy.
Equipment Neil Tunic - Defense Bonus: 22 - Increases evasion Aura of Power - Defense Bonus: 59 The Secret Day - Prevents poison, muted, and blindness status ailments
Wiz: Since both fighters are going to be functioning at top capacity, The Batter will have all of these items in abundance.
Fortune Ticket - Restores 1000 HP Golden Flesh - Restores 100 CP Joker - Restores a dead character to life with 25% max HP Belial's Meat - Cures all negative status effects Eye - Analyses the characteristics of all enemies
Most of them agreed that is seemed fair.
Boomstick: Anyway his best weapon is the Ashley Bat, with a boost in attack by 21. It can also use the elements Metal and Meat.
Wiz: Which actually brings us to the elemental system in OFF. The elements are Metal is harvested from cows by cutting them open and taking it out of their carcasses. According to an Elsen, the humans of OFF, the nutrition of a cow corresponds with the quality of the metal. Poor quality metal is discarded, forming the soil beneath their feet; the rest is used to make objects like tools and weapons.
Boomstick: Meat, which they get from the meat fountains are located in Alma in Zone 1. It also can also somehow take a liquid form. So it must be bottled before the fountains overflow. It is also told to be the first and most important element because without it, there would be nothing to eat. Damn that must be hardcore for vegetarians.
"It must be Boomstick, it must be..." Celestia said as most of the group got sick stomachs at meat.
Wiz: Plastic administrations is found in Shachihata in Zone 1. Plastic is used to make objects and something analogous to water, as the bodies of water in OFF are plastic. It comes in two consistencies: liquid and solid. It is explained to be the first and most important element because without it, there would be no boundaries. Everyone would just continue to walk and walk. Which is absurdly and stupidly impossible if you ask me.
Boomstick: Smoke is the substance that is used to breathe by the ones occupying the zones. It's harvested from mines by mining the metal; capturing it and setting it free. It is usually bottled and sent to zones that don't have this element naturally. The extra smoke that escapes from the bottling process is released into Zone 1's air and creates it's atmosphere. This is explained to be the first and most important element because without it, no one could breathe. Huh, so does that mean that cigarettes are ok in OFF then?
Wiz: Don’t think about it too hard Boomstick. Anyway, onto the final element, Sugar is claimed to be a secret fifth element, this substance is given to the Elsen in Zone 3 as a reward for work. Not a true element at all, Sugar is actually an addictive drug created by Enoch, the guardian of Zone 3. It is made from the purified vapours of corpses that are burned. The sugar ovens of Vesper are the main source of sugar.When the Elsen of Vesper give their 'most important element' speech, they claim that without Sugar, people would go mad, unable to cope with reality.
Boomstick: That’s fucking dark if you ask me, and I’m me for Pete's sake.
"Ditto." Sunset and Celestia agreed. Fluttershy and Rarity fainted at the horrific origin of sugar.
"That's not sugar!" Pinkie shouted, her mane deflated.
Wiz: Anyway, all RPG characters have special moves that are far more powerful than their normal attacks. Techniques, spells, ultimate attacks. The Batter is really no different. In OFF, these special moves are called competences. Like most RPGs, each of these use varying amounts of energy, here called ‘CP,’ and have special effects. The Batter’s abilities mostly involve a strange blend of cleric and paladin, healing and hitting people with otherworldly baseballs, as well as speedblitzing his targets with elementally charged bat attacks.
'Wish I could use those.' Rainbow and Apple muttered as they thought of what their Competences would be.
Save First Base - Restores some HP Run with Courage - Special attack of the element Metal Furious Homerun - Special attack of low impact Save Second Base - Restores a lot of HP Run with Grace - Special attack of the element Plastic Special Homerun - Special attack of mediocre impact Save Third Base - Restores all HP - Costs notable amount of competence points Run with Dementia - Special attack of the element Smoke Magic Homerun - Special attack of important impact Save Fourth Base - Reanimates an ally - Costs notable amount of competence points Run with Belief - Special attack of the element Meat Save Secret Base - Restores a lot of HP for the whole party - Costs notable amount of competence points Ultimate Homerun - Special attack of cataclysmic impact - Costs significant amount of competence points
Wiz: Now then unlike most RPG characters who have outside help, this oddly is and isn’t the case at the same time.
Boomstick: Yeah, his allies are his mighty Add-Ons, these three celestial bodies were recovered from around the zones by The Batter during his travel. They all have the exact same feats as The Batter himself, or pretty damn close.
"Interesting...." Twilight said as she took notes, Celestia mentally doing the same
Wiz: You could pretty much claim these are separate entities to The Batter himself, and should not be used in a Death Battle. However they are confirmed to have no personality, do not speak or ever appear at all out of combat except for when you find them, and they follow The Batter’s every command without question. So they are technically liable for a Death Battle as they are weapons rather than allies, even though they act like allies.
"So them varmints are an exception to the rule thanks to certain details." Applejack summed up
Perfect Symbol - Attack Bonus: 40 - Increases evasion Aura of Tenacity - Defense Bonus: 25 Femur Epidermis - Defense Bonus: 21 - Grants immunity to critical hits The Eighth Colour - Defense Bonus: 25 - Can’t be unequipped
Boomstick: Hey look they also have their own competences.
Rarity and Fluttershy we're getting back up after they fainted at how OFF characters makes Sugar
Alpha Saturated Chain - Special attack of low impact Awaited Embrace - Special attack inflicting Poison Converted Chain - Special attack of mediocre impact Requisite Embrace - Special attack inflicting Blindness Long Chain - Special attack of important impact Open Embrace - Special attack inflicting Muteness Entire Chain - Special attack of incredible impact - Costs notable amount of competence points Impossible Embrace - Special attack inflicting Palsy
Omega Inverse Perspective - Cures Blindness and Muteness Optimised Blur - Attack of random impact Overdone Perspective -Cures Poison and Sleep Photographic Blur - Attack ignoring the adversary's defense Frontal Perspective - Cures Fury, Madness and Palsy Gaussian Blur - Attack decreasing the adversary's CP Decupled Perspective - Revives a person - Costs notable amount of competence points Radial Blur - Attack decreasing the adversary's defense
Epsilon Classic Drama - Increases an ally's attack lightly Surrealistic Tragedy - Special attack of multiple, low impacts Baroque Drama - Increases an ally's defense lightly Abstract Tragedy - Special attack of multiple, mediocre impacts Experienced Drama - Increases an ally's intelligence lightly Cubist Tragedy - Special attack of multiple, important impacts - Costs notable amount of competence points Unrevokable Drama - Increases an ally's agility lightly Fauvestic Tragedy - Special attack of multiple, incredible impacts- Costs notable amount of competence points
Wiz: Needless to say, the added bonus of three other characters all with the same power as The Batter himself is an’ extremely deadly and effective bonus.
Boomstick: This guy can’t seriously get any deadlier can’t he?
Wiz: Actually he can, let me introduce you to true power of The Batter. Boomstick: HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?
"He's worse that me as Nightmare Moon!" Luna shouted as everyone agreed, Spike noticed he bared a small resemblance to Bad Batter. His next costume for Nightmare Night was going to be The Bad Batter.
Wiz: This is The Bad Batter. The true form of The Batter.
The Bad Batter - A "transformation" of sorts - Technically not a physical transformation so much as a change in perspective brought about by the player abandoning him and his quest - Nonetheless, makes him far more beastly and savage in appearance - Neither this nor his standard appearance are stated to be his true form, so in theory he might be able to change back and forth between the two forms
Wiz: After being abandoned in the alternate ending of OFF, The Batter… Changes. He grows long claws, towers at many times his original height, and overall just becomes a weird baseball crocodile monster thing. While fans have speculated the true nature of this ‘Bad Batter,’ it was all up for speculation.
Boomstick: Until Mortis Ghost, the game’s creator, confirmed that this is just a change in perspective brought on by how The Batter is now seen as an enemy.
Wiz: And while it may not OFFICIALLY be a transformation, it does bring on a few changes in The Batter’s fighting style. His stats change, he recovers lost health and CP, and looses all three of his ring add-on’s. So in the right situation, this really could be a game changer.
Boomstick: Huh, still not as scary as Sonic 06.
"Hey!" Rainbow shouted at insulting her love.
Wiz: Like a lot of people on this show, he has abnormal strength, speed, durability, and intellect.
Strength - Traded blows with the absolutely massive Enoch - Successfully slew the powerful Queen (Celestia, Luna, and Twilight all shivered at that) -Traded blows with Japhet, who used her raw power to make a tower that stretched all the way up into orbit - Can push around metal boulders as large as himself with little difficulty Speed/Agility - Can navigate through and control his movement in the Nothingness, where everything travels at the speed of light (Rainbow was impressed by this) Durability/Endurance - Can take a variety of hits, physical, elemental, and magical, from the different zone bosses - Went through the entire game without significant rest - Is not slowed down at all by injury - Took hits from LITERALLY everyone in his universe that had any sort of combat prowess or skill at all. All. Of. Them. Well, except the add-on’s I guess. Intellect/Skills - Intelligent and cunning, to an unknown degree (Twilight seemed both interested and scared of that) - Didn't actually need the players help to solve any puzzles or navigate the zones. He just kind of… Took it anyway, for some reason. - Competent batter, combatant, and tactician - Tired out Enoch by forcing him to chase after him, weakening the Boss so as to better combat him - Probably a competent baseball player Stealth - Noted by an NPC to be unnaturally quiet (Fluttershy felt some relation to that fact.) Willpower - Unswervingly devoted to purifying the zones (Applejack was impressed by his determination) Abnormal Physiology - Is confirmed to be non-human - Likely some sort of spiritual entity
Boomstick: This dude has used his talents and Add-Ons to kill the three guardians of the zones. Which is no small feat mind you.
Feats -Solved numerous puzzles throughout the zones -Has battled and defeated innumerable impures --Including the three zone guardians Dedan, Japhet, and Enoch -Acquired the three ring Add-Ons -Defeated his wife, The Queen --Who with her existence sustained all of the zones with her lifeforce -Ultimately purified all of the zones
"He's a KING!?" Twilight shouted and everyone except Sans looked at her
"What? Where does it say king?" Rainbow asked
"It said he slayed his wife, THE QUEEN!" Twilight answered.
This widened a few eyes as they realized what that meant. He was a king who killed his subjects. They now had a newfound respect for him.
Wiz: Despite these feats and skills, he’s not perfect. While The Batter might have very powerful techniques capable of dealing many times over his normal damage, he has a limited pool to draw from before getting worn out and having to restore it. It is a very big pool, mind you, but it’s still there.
Boomstick: And while apparently he didn’t need to have the player’s help on his journey, he does prefer to let the player make choices for him.
Wiz: That’s not to say that he can’t make decisions for himself. He does so several times during the game, although not frequently.
Boomstick: Like the time he ran away from the invincible third zone boss Enoch and refused to read a comic book because he thought it was fucking stupid.
"That is smart to run from the invincible" Sunset said
"...Stupid Tubba Blubba...." Sans muttered remembering one time when he and his younger brother played Paper Mario, his younger brother choose to run. Sans however ran into the heat of battle without thinking things through.
-The Batter and his Add-Ons have a limited, albeit quite high, pool of Competence Points with which to use Competences -Usually prefers that The Player make difficult decisions for him. Though he is capable of making his own choices, like when he ran away from the third zone boss, refused to read a comic book because it was ‘stupid,’
Wiz: The Batter posses a very large but limited amount of Competence Points and usually relies his Puppeteer, AKA The Player to guide him in battle and make difficult choices. Yet he is still sentient like Boomstick said earlier.
Boomstick: Still, this guy will strike out anyone who gets in the way of his 'sacred mission'.
Wiz: Yes Boomstick, The Batter has proven to be a dangerous opponent time and time again.
The Batter: I'm the one who's going to purify the world. And you're the pest that eats away at this land. Prepare yourself.
While they all agreed that The Batter had a devastating arsenal and good skills. They needed to see what this "Super Perfect Cell" guy was capable of first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Super Perfect Cell
Wiz: Some say that true perfection is impossible, that nobody is perfect, everyone has flaws.
"And it is." Twilight said
Boomstick: Said people must never have seen Cell launch a Solar Kamehameha.
"Solar Kamehameha?" Celestia tilted her head at this.
Wiz: Created by doctor Gerou to be the perfect lifeform, Cell is a composite version of some of the greatest top dogs of the Dragon Ball Z universe.
Boomstick: That’s both the best parts of some of the weaker cast like Nappa, Krillin, Raditz, Tien, and yes, even Yamcha.
Wiz: And then, in a more massive margin, he’s made up of the top dogs of the DBZ universe. People like Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, Trunks, and yes, the ORIGINAL shonen protagonist...
Boomstick: Fucking GOKU!
Most of them had their jaws drop at the fact he beat Goku.
"Wonder how Superman would do?" Rainbow joked.
"...or your blue boy Sonic?" Spike added.
Rainbow gonna lift her journal then wondered how the blue blur would fare.
Feats: -In his Imperfect Form, he killed the all the inhabitants of several towns in order to power himself up. -While in previously mentioned form, he was able to hold his ground against Krillin, and Super Namekian Piccolo, beating him in his second encounter. -After absorbing 17, Semi Perfect Cell easily defeated Android #16, who beat Cell in his previous form. -Managed to trick Vegeta into helping him reach his Perfect Form. (This raised a few eyebrows) -In his Perfect Form, Cell defeated Vegeta as a 2nd grade Super Saiyan, Trunks as a 3rd Grade Super Saiyan, and held his own against a Full Powered Super Saiyan Goku. (This interested most of them) -Even after blowing himself up with enough force to destroy the Earth, Cell manages to reform himself, stronger than ever. -In hell, he made an uprising against King Yenma's men, along side the other villains. -Has killed Future Trunks in two separate timelines (Twilight was about to call blasphemy at this)
Wiz: Although this ability was technically taken from Piccolo, his Regeneration ability has gone far beyond that. As long as a small part of one of his cells remains intact, he can come back from death even stronger than before, making him very difficult to kill.
This once again dropped jaws from the mane six and princesses. Sunset and Twilight's eyes twitched.
"Piccolo?" Fluttershy asked as she wondered what this Piccolo was like.
Boomstick: Sadly, Cell loses his tail in his final form, meaning that this ability won’t be making an appearance in the fight unless Cell gets reverted back to one of his imperfect forms. This baby uses stinger on tail to pierce his victim's body and suck all their body's biomass, which heals him. Or he can use it to swallow a person whole and literally suck them into him, adding their power to his. But both are very slow, leaving Cell vulnerable.
Wiz: He can alter his body and turn himself into a suicide bomb with enough power to blow a planet in one minute and will only use as last resort. He also can increase his muscle mass, making him more powerful, at the cost of speed.
"Those two moves are very interesting." Luna said.
Cell Juniors -Are reproduced asexually by Cell -Though weaker by comparison, they have most of Cell's abilities -Similar to Namekian's reproduction system
Zenkai -Genetic trait taken from Saiyan blood cells - Increases his power greatly if he survives a near death injury
Ki Manipulation -Can control energy from within his body, and mold it to suit his needs. -Said uses include hypersonic flight, telekinesis, teleportation, blasts of energy, and energy fields
"Interesting, I think we have some spells that are like Zenkai and Ki Manipulations" Celestia said wondering if they really did.
"Cell Juniors sound like how Changelings reproduce." Twilight said and everyone, even Sans, widened their eyes and looked at her. "What?"
Boomstick: His children Cell Juniors are weaker, than Cell and posses almost all of his abilities. Keyword ALMOST.
Wiz: He also posses Zenkai from Saiyan blood, which increases his power if he survives a near death injury.
Boomstick: Finally he uses Ki Manipulation to control energy into ways that put him in better position.
Solar Flare -Emits a bright flash of light wen used, which can temporarily blinded anyone who looks at it, except the user of it. -Can be blocked if the enemy has sunglasses on or closes his eyes before the attack
Kaioken -Cell never used it, but he should be able to in theory -Can multiply the user’s power level many times over -Takes up an extremely large amount of energy to use
Special Beam Cannon ( or rather Makankōsappō) -Taken from Piccolo -A projectile with speed depending on how much the user wishes to charge it -Drills through whatever it touches, or in some cases, blow them to bits.
Death Saucer - Upgraded fork of Krillin's Destructo Disk and taken from Frieza -Disk of energy that can cut through anything -Can be controlled by the user to move to his/her will.
Death Beam -Taken from Frieza -Fires a beam which can move at great speeds -Can be fired in rapid succession -Full powered variation can cover more range and deal more damage
Instant Transmission -Copied from Goku -Warps user instantaneously to a source we it energy signature -Requires concentration
Kamehameha -Taken from Goku -Fires a wave of energy from the palms of Cell's hands -Can range from mountain to planet busting proportions
Spirit Bomb -Taken from Goku - Takes the energy from sentient beings - Effective against those of evil hearts - Despite his evil nature, Cell has stated he can use it.
Solar Kamehameha - Cell’s most powerful attack - Cell stated it could destroy the solar system
"Why do I picture 4 Cells in two-piece suits of maroon and purple with gold pinstripes, formal shoes, a navy blue shirt with cuffs and cuff links doing comical actions?"
"...Heh TeamFourStar be proud."
Wiz: Cell has taken the, well, cells of the Z Fighters, with it come their abilities.
Boomstick: Like the Kamehameha, the Spirit Bomb, the Instant Transmission, and the Kaioken in theory all of which we're stolen from Goku.
"He stole GOKU'S Moves!?" Rarity shouted, knowing what those moves could do.
Wiz: He also stole the Frieza's spammable Death Beam and Death Saucer, a disk of energy that can cut through anything. He also has Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, a beam that drills through whatever it touches.
Boomstick: However his most powerful attack is the Solar Kamehameha. According to DBZ websites and magazines, “Cell had been drunk in his power. to the frontiers of the full body Doctor Gero is aimed, myself and he are. Continue growing feel of Kamehameha, it had become a power of up to Earth only can also destroy the solar system rather than.” Making this capable of destroying the solar system. Which automatically makes Cell a totally badass.
Twilight and Celestia both looked like they did when they heard Superman's feats.
The Ponies shivered, that surely tops The Batter's Competences.
Boomstick: Cell is extremely powerful, but he does have some weaknesses.
Wiz: For instance, DBZ villains have two moods: Prideful/arrogant, and pure rage.
"So he has that cliché." Spike deadpained
Boomstick: Also, an extremely powerful hit can force Cell to cough up Android 17 and 18, causing him to revert back to his weaker forms.
Wiz: Not only that, but he works with a limited pool of kai energy, although quite large. Some fights last many episodes. It might not even come up in a fight at all if Cell can finish his opponent fast enough.
"So like The Batter with his limited Competence Points." Starlight said
Perfect Cell: [During the Kamehameha struggle between Gohan and Perfect Cell] This must be hard on you with all those wounds Gohan. I bet this makes them *burn*!
They weren't gonna root for Cell, but he beat Goku, who stood up to Superman. However, they all agreed he deserves respect for his powers and skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let’s end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!
They paused to decided who to root for. The Batter had a fair amount of bats, armor, and strength in numbers. Cell however had multiple Cell Juniors and could destroy the solar system. Nearly everyone choose Cell, keyword ALMOST.
On Team Cell: Celestia, Rainbow, Sunset and Applejack
On Team Batter: Sans, Luna, Spike and Pinkie
Everyone else stayed neutral for this one
"Sucks to be you guys." Rainbow said knowing that The Batter couldn't possible stand up to the Solar Kamehameha. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All at once, The Batter suddenly appeared from nothingness. He stood in a boundless and pure black empty dimension. Looking up from beneath his black baseball cap that obscured his eyes, he panned his head from right to left, observing the land around him. Yes, truly empty. Suddenly, a voice boomed loud and robotic from somewhere off in the darkness.
"You have been assigned to a being called 'The Batter'. The batter has an important mission, make sure it is accomplished. We will let you out in Zone 0. For more information, find the one called 'The Judge'".
Judging by his title, they imagined The Judge was powerful being.
The batter stood still as a statue as the nothingness began to change. It warped, transforming the deep blackness into greys and whites as zone one began to take physical form into Zone 0, where his adventure would begin. He would meet many new faces and journey across the surreal "Zones". He would fight many spirits, commit acts of justness and atrocity alike. In the end, he would be the one responsible for destroying it all. ____________________________________________________________________
King: Now, to make one subtle change. Just big enough to start the conflict...
The Batter felt a change in his gut. Something just wasn't quite right. Suddenly, the colors of the still forming Zone: 0 started to swirl chaotically and warp. It was as if someone had thrust a torch into a smokey forest in the middle of the night. This isn't suppose to happen, thought the Batter. The world began to take focus anew. Into a... City?
"Isn't that the same city Goku lives in?" Fluttershy asked
Yes, it was beginning to come into focus. Tall buildings stretched up into the clouds around him. They were disproportionate, some ending in enormous spheres. Many had lights on somewhere inside, implying that this city was heavily populated. He stood humbled by these Goliath structures on one of the many well-kept streets below. Park benches and trash cans were neatly placed in rows along the sidewalk with care. Everything had come fully into focus here now.
First, The Batter turned to check and make sure that... Yes, his three ring add on's were hovering behind, totally stationary in the sky. They would follow him without vocal order until something needed to be purified. He turned back to the city. Now that he could more clearly see the city block he had arrived in, he noticed something. Not that he had ever been in one before, but city blocks usually have a great number of people in them, do they not? There was no one, not even a car parked on the side of the road. No sign was there, in fact, of any entity, living or otherwise being here all day. It was as if it had been abandoned.
"Where is everyone?" Pinkie asked.
Not phased as much as you would expect by this discovery, The Batter set off down the street in search of "The Judge". Maybe he could shed more light on this subject, whoever he was. He turned a corner, ring add-on's now gliding around him in the most peculiar manner, and saw a crowd of people all gathered at the opposite end of the street, all viewing some sort of large television screen attached to the building some 100 feet up.
"Wish we could watch those huh Spike? ...Spike?" Rainbow whispered to said drake.
"...Wish we could be fight a TV." Spike said imagining him saving Rarity from TVs.
One man, who stood the farthest away from the rest, looked up and watched the screen in tense silence, just like the rest. He was dressed in his best business suit. He had never had any intention of actually going to his boring office job today, but he felt that he should wear it anyway. After all, this was the fate of the world that he was witnessing here. He ought to look nice. What he saw on this screen now would be written in the history books for years to come. Well, if there were people left to write them after this. His attention was drawn away from the screen by a nagging feeling in the back of his head. That feeling that someone is watching you very attentively.
He spun around to see a man in his late 20's wearing a black baseball cap and white baseball uniform. In one hand, he clasped a blank white baseball bat, which matched his paper-white skin. He somehow managed to look at him while still tilting his head down towards the ground, causing his baseball cap to cast a somehow thick shadow over his eyes and face, even though it was a bright morning. Well, now he realized that clouds were beginning to form overhead. The man was to focused on the newcomers strange appearance and behavior to consider the fact of the rain clouds forming just as the batter arrived as somehow being connected, or the strange hovering rings behind him.
"Which one of you is The Judge?" Surprised by the stranger's sudden speech, the man stumbled on his words, blurting out a question instead of an answer.
"Who are... What..."
"I am The Batter. Which one of you is The Judge?" The Batter repeated his question.
Sans smirked "Straightforward much dear Batter?"
"I... Who? The Judge? I don't know anyone by that name". The man replied, still slightly confused by this sudden appearance. Something occurred to The Batter. He may be used to strange things happening and roll with any situation, but he wasn't stupid, and he suspected somethings still wasn't right here.
"I'm not in Zone: 0 then?" Before the man in the business suit could respond, another man, fat and bald, wearing an apron and an orange shirt and cargo pants cut into the conversation.
"Looks like the Cell Games brought all the crazies out of the wood works". He said in a harsh Brooklyn accent.
"Cell Games?" Twilight asked.
Suddenly a note came out. It appeared to have been written in the font style "Comic Sans MS"
"What does it say Twilight?" Luna asked
"When Cell reached his Perfect form, he hosted the Cell Games for the fate of the Earth." Twilight read.
"You're not in any Zone. You're not on the Starship Enterprise, or in the middle ages either. Your in WEST CITY, ya hear?" The Batter's arrival had now caught the attention of most of the crowd, who looked back at the unusual Baseball Player in curiosity and more than a bit of uneasiness. They could all feel the otherness emanating off of him. In some part of them, they knew that he wasn't suppose to be here either. Something was just OFF about him.
This made The Batter silent. So his suspicions were correct; he wasn't where he was supposed to be. This was all very strange. He needed to get back to his mission as soon as possible, it was of the utmost importance. But as long as he couldn't get back to where he was suppose to be, he might as well find out more about where he was. Who knows, there might even be beings in need of purification here as well.
A shout rose from the crowd.
"Look! Up there, on the screen!" A woman near the front of the crowd pointed up towards the giant flat screen attached to the building. Normally, the screen was made to display advertisements and public messages from the mayor, or to show some great unveiling of a new shop or library. But today, it played something much more important. The Cell games.
[Stop Music]
"KA... ME... HA... ME... HAAAA!"
The man in the business suit was frantic.
"It's all coming to an end! We're doomed!" he shouted, and fell to his knees on the hard asphalt below him. The Batter pulled his gaze from the man, and set it instead on the screen above, his expression just as monotone and indifferent as the day he was spawned. There, he saw a showing of bright, flashing lights as two enormous lasers met in the sky, a thick as sky scrapers.
A flash of radiant energy erupted from the collision of these two titanic lasers of pure life force energy. Following the energy waves colliding was a shock wave that shot over the land, ripping mountains out of their place in the earth and throwing them. Stunned by the sheer magnitude of what they were seeing, various spiked-haired, green-skinned and bald Z fighters looked on at the fight in progress. Some lay on the ground, dead or depleted of all energy by their recent fight with the Cell Jr's, or by cell himself. All of them were scattered around, watching this fight. They had all been beaten, battered, and ashamed. In one way or another, they had all be defeated. But they hadn't lost hope.
On one side of the clashing energy beams was cell, both hands raised, virtually unharmed. A massive wave of blue energy was radiating from his side, Goku's signature Kamehameha. It had been stolen from the greatest defender of earth, and was now being used against his son, and if he succeeded, it would be used to destroy earth. It was ironic to the point of being a cruel, tasteless joke. On the other end was Goku's son, Gohan. His spiked golden hair stood straight up, rippling and waving about at the solar winds being created by the conflict at hand. One arm was broken, but the other was held up, fueling his golden beam. Visible to Gohan and Gohan only, standing behind him, was Goku, adding words of encouragement from the afterlife. Hallucination or not, Gohan couldn't tell. He was using every inch of his concentration on beating back the opposing laser threatening to destroy the planet he and his friends had fought to save all these years.
"What's the matter, Gohan? You already have all the power you need... Just bring it out!" Goku shouted, frustrated, but still encouraging.
"IS GOKU DEAD!?" Most of them shouted.
"I can't... I can't keep this up... I just can't hack it dad, it's too much for me to handle, I'm just a kid! I haven't changed! Not... at all!" Gohan strained every muscle, pouring his entire life force into this blast. He was giving it literally everything. Soon, he would run out, and then...
The people of west city had their eyes plastered to the screen. They drew every inch of their attention to the fight. To say the atmosphere was tense would be an understatement. The Batter didn't seem to notice.
"Who's that?" He asked. The fat bald man from before turned, drawn out of the fight yet again. He was more than a bit exasperated.
"Do you live under a rock or somethin'?" The batter blinked under his ball cap.
"No". The man make a rude sighing noise.
"You really don't know who he is? Cell? Y'know, big bad guy? Wants to blow up earth for kicks? Alien from outer space?"
"You mean specter". The Batter corrected.
"Wha? Oh, you're crazy. Shut up and let me watch the games. I think It's about to end."
"Well isn't that brute very rude." Rarity said
"Where can I find him?" The Batter asked.
"You want to find him? You're nuttier than a fruitcake!"
"If you won't tell me, I'll locate the specter on my own ". The Batter turned, and started running off at supersonic speeds, not looking back. He had the ability to sense impures, so this shouldn't be too hard.
Neither opponent was letting up. This would go down as the greatest fight in the history of the planet earth, and it looked like Gohan was loosing. Badly. Goku wasn't about to give up on his son yet. He had seen what Gohan could do when he got angry, and he could beat this guy. He could beat cell.
"Will you stop attacking yourself! I don't know where you got it in your head where there's something wrong with you, because there's NOT! You have saved me and my friends lives so many times, and you're going to do it again... RIGHT. NOW!" The blast intensified, rippling with luminescent energy on all sides. The colliding blasts grew to the size of small mountains, carving an even bigger crater in the earth. Cell jeered at him from the other side of the blast.
"What on Earth are you mumbling about? Catching one last prayer before you die? Ha!" Maybe it was because he was so caught up gloating over his victory, or maybe it was because of the powerful energy dancing around him, or a combination of the two. Regardless of the reason, Cell was too busy to notice the energy of someone -or something- seeking up on him. Yes, he would win, he was sure of it. What could possibly stop him now? This planet had been fun, but like all good things, it would come to an end. It was time for this to be over. He readied himself to pump more kai into the blast, to overwhelm Gohan. This was it, the final-
As if on cue, a common household baseball made solid impact with the side of Cells face at lightning speeds, shattering the left side of his skull completely. Cells eyes bulged in surprise and pain for a moment, mouth slightly open. Then, he was lifted off his feet and flung like a flicked insect. He flew through the air, twisting and contorting for just a second, until he exploded into a mountain 600 feet away from where he had just been, launching rock and debris into the air. The laser he had just been fueling depleted almost immediately with no one left to power it, leaving Gohan's blast no force to act against. The laser shot into space, stretching past the moon, reaching mars before tapering out.
"..." Everyone who voted for Cell had their jaws comically on the ground.
[Stop Music]
Everything was suddenly very silent. The only sound was the sound was a soft patting sound every few seconds, as The Batter threw and caught a baseball in one hand as he waited for to cell to return from the pile of rubble. In the other hand, he held his trusty Auburn Bat which he had swung over his shoulder.
Gohan stared in shock. What just happened? He was being fueled by adrenaline and determination, but now that that was gone, he was spent, totally out of juice. He had no idea of how little energy he actually had until now. He fell to his knees, still looking at this weird black and white baseball player and the three hovering white rings behind him. Along with millions of people watching the live broadcast, the other z fighters all had similar reactions, now staring in wide-eyed wonder. The silence was broken by a rumbling from the mountain. Pebbles lifted off the ground, and even some larger rocks began to levitate in the air.
Cell was just as shocked as the Z fighters were. As he came to under a 3 tun pile of earth and stone, he started to realize what had happened. He was about to win the fight. He had achieved his perfect form, defeated all the challengers in his way, and he was about to win. He was about to pump his kai into that blast, and wipe that little brat and the rest of the Z fighters, and the humans on earth for that matter, of the face of this planet. And just as victory was in clear sight, it had slipped through his fingers because some ass hat had got a cheap shot off on him when he wasn't paying attention to him. In the face. WITH A GOD DAMN BASEBALL. Was this... A joke? NO. THE ONE WHO DID THIS WILL NOT SURVIVE.
"Heck yeah!" Rainbow shouted. Cell was still alive and out of blood from The Batter.
The Z fighters attention was drawn from the black and white baseball player by a horrifying rising power from the shattered mountain behind them. The rumbling picked up, and a small earthquake rocked the earth. The Batter couldn't sense energy, but he could see the golden aura surrounding the mountain just fine, and he could guess what would happen next.
"Cell, evil ungodly tyrant, the last grain of sand has fallen from the hourglass of your existence. I am The Batter, prepare to face my judgement". The Batter readied his baseball bat, tensing his muscles and focusing on his baseball stance. And just like that, he stepped up to the plate. Cell erupted from the ground, showering the earth in huge chunks of rock and a pillar of dust as he sped up into the air. In either hand was a globe of luminescent golden energy fueled by anger and life force energy, his figure silhouetted against the radiant sun. His figure came into focus as an enormous black cloud swept across the sun.
"Note to self, use that on Nightmare Night if going out as The Bad Batter." Spike muttered to himself.
The add-on's parted just in time to dodge the gargantuan mountain-sized laser as it beamed directly for The Batter. Compared to the size of the Final Flash, he was just a speck. The black and white baseball player turned on his heels and began to run in the opposite direction, speeding off faster than the average human eye could see.
The wave of energy seemed to lock onto the batter, and every movement he made to outmaneuver the laser failed totally as The Batter sped across the continent with his bat held behind him in a back stance. The laser left a trail of destruction in it's wake, cities and towns annihilated in golden energy as the beam followed The Batter in hot pursuit. The Batter turned to one of his ring Add-On's beside him.
"Start flying towards the biggest mountain you can find. I'll follow". Sure enough, the hovering ring flew up into the sky, and soon afterwards, gained a sudden burst of speed and shot off forward, making a slight directional change. The Batter mimicked it's change of pace, shooting far out of the beams reach.
"Oh no you don't!" Cell pumped more of his life energy into the laser, and it shot of at blinding speeds, matching The Batter with gusto. The Batter ran up the mountain, followed closely by the laser. Although the Laser was big, the mountain was even bigger. But in no time at all, The Batter was quickly about to reach the peak, the mountain's snowy apex.
"Come on Cell." Pinkie cheered
"Hah! You fool! You'll have nowhere to run to now. Prepare to die!" Cell pumped even more kai into the Final Flash, and it reached light speeds behind the batter. Just as he did this, The Batter reached the tip of the mountain, and jumped hard. He flew half a mile into the air, and started to fall. Cell was not prepared for this. The golden beam tried to redirect itself again, but it was too late. It shot into the night sky, piercing the heavens as it flew trillions of miles off into deep space.
The Batter stretched his arms and legs away from his body, falling at terminal velocity towards the earth. When the ground was a few feats away, he stretched his hands out in front of him, landing into a handstand and flipped onto his feet. Without missing a beat, he ran forward at staggering speeds, bat held back and coiled to strike.
Attack > Competences > Run with Faith.
The Batter blitzes up to cell from hundreds of miles away, swinging down towards Cell's head. Taken by surprise, cell had just enough time to bring his hand up in a blocking stance. It's effort proved fruitless, as The Batter easily cleaved through Cell's green arm at its joint, sending green juices and exoskeleton shards flying. Seemingly unphased by the loss of his right arm, Cell used his good arm to land a chopping blow on The Batter's neck. His opponent now temporarily stunned, Cell regenerated his left arm with a sickening Fwick! and a spurt of green blood as a new limb flung into place. Cell crossed his arms on chest like someone being put to rest, except with his fingers held out straight and clamped together, and then swung them outwards, marking an X across the batter's torso and making him fly backwards. Cell teleported behind the airborne baseball player, slamming two clenched fists held together down over his head and ramming him hard into the earth below. Earth and rock erupted into the air with a painful-sounding crash. The battered baseball player lifted himself from the hole just in time to see Cell hovering in the air directly above, readying a Kamehameha wave.
"I thought you would have a bit more in you, Batter. Guess I was wro-" Cell was interrupted by a glowing white ring slicing into his midriff with a metallic Slish. The beam Cell had been charging disintegrated immediately.
"Thanks, Alpha" The Batter thought, before jumping effortlessly out of the hole he crater.
Attack> Competences> Furious Home Run
The bat hit hard and painfully, crushing Cell's windpipe and sending him spinning sporadically towards the heavens, Alpha still stuck in his side. Cell folded his wings out, stopping himself in the air. He pulled Alpha out of his side and flung him at The Batter, who strafed to the side, letting Alpha become embedded harmlessly in the ground. He looked up to see a hail of golden energy blasts coming directly for him, each no bigger than a dagger. The Batter fell back to the ground, and started to do backflips, frontflips and dodge rolls to avoid each individual kai blast. He was doing well, but he couldn't keep going forever. The Batter flipped to his feet, threw his bat into the air, followed by thousands of baseballs pulled from hammer space. Just as the baseballs were about to start falling, he caught the bat. And then, time… Slowed.
In movement faster than the human eye can see, he began to hit each individual baseball into the air, knocking each individual kai blast out of the air like clay pigeons. With each collision, there was a Bang! as the baseball exploded and incinerated to dust as it absorbed the energy of the kai laser. As the rain of tiny kai blasts began to let up, the batter slammed to bat into… Nothing. He was out of baseballs! Curses! He looked up into the sky to see there was only one cluster of lasers coming for him. What he didn't see was that Cell was holding his forefinger of one hand to his head, emanating a chaotic energy…
Applejack smirked "Batter's screwed."
The Batter dropped his bat, and pulled one more baseball out of hyperspace.
Attack > Competences > Special Homerun
The Batter leapt off the ground, hitting the baseball with a side kick smothered in thick, black smoke and sending it flying towards the final cluster. He landed on one hand, grabbed his bat, a flipped to his feet. Back in the sky, a pixelated white target sign locked on to the golden barrage of needles. The baseball slammed into them, cutting a hole through the lasers and at the same time totally incinerating them. By the time it was out the other end and hurtling towards cell, they were no more. Cell turned himself sideways and looked right at The Batter, holding up one finger to point at him in one fluid motion, easily dodging the ball. Something shot from his finger:
SPECIAL BEAM CANNON! A slender drill-like laser of red kai flashed towards the white clad baseball player. The Batter tipped his hat down.
Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun
Thwick! Striking out with his trusted baseball bat, he hit the drill beam, resulting in a massive shokewave exposion as these two faster-then-light objects met. With one tense motion, he deflecting it harmlessly into the night sky with a burst of sparks. The beam drilled far into the sky, passed the cloud barrier, and out of sight.
"WHAT!?" Twilight shouted, they said the Special Beam Cannon could destroy anything.
Cell lowered himself from the sky, hovering several feet above the ground with his arms crossed and feet held apart.
“Well, Batter, it appears as if I have underestimated you”. The batter lifted his arm, slowly raising on hand in the air and flicked his wrist in a militaristic-looking hand signal. His ring add-on’s zoomed in from all directions and fell into formation behind him.
"Guess so”. He said.
“Well, by now I think you’re probably tired of me. So why not try meeting my children?” Cell shouted in an almost mocking voice, as if he knew he had already won, and was just toying with him. The Batter had only seconds to ponder what this meant before they starting appearing.
Little purple versions of cell, snickering and whispering to one another, all with that annoying smirk on their faces and wide eyes. They blinked into appearance, creeping in like a pack of hungry animals creeping towards their wounded prey. But The Batter wasn't wounded, nor was he their prey.
One Cell Jr lunged for the batter. He stepped back, dodging his attack and slamming his bat into the Cell Jrs face. Two more began to run towards him while one flew up into the sky and began to charge an energy attack.
“Alpha, above!” the batter shouted, as he cleaved through the two Cell Jrs with a single swing of his bat. The Cell Jr jiggled and prepared to launch his Kamehameha when…
Attack > Competences > Long Chain
A silver chain of iridescent light from a cut in reality at the center of Alpha’s ring. It snagged itself onto Cell Jr and pulled the little bastard screaming into the ring, vanishing out of sight as his head disappeared and the rip sealed itself. Alpha let out a low screeching of notes similar to a modem dial up and launched itself towards a nearby Cell Jr, stabbing itself into the poor things chest over and over again before moving on. All around, the ring Add-Ons were fighting the Cell Jrs, The Batter never too far behind. But they just kept coming.
The Batter ducked under an energy beam and tripped a nearby Cell Jr running at him before grabbing its crowned head and slamming it’s head into the rocky ground. More came from all sides, prompting The Batter to slam the ground below him and causing a quake of earth to fly up from him, flinging the Cell Jrs into the air. Just then, a shot of energy from the actual cell shot across the ground, catching The Batter by surprise. The Batter limbo’d below the laser, blowing his baseball cap off his head. Time seemed to slow. Several Cell Jr’s were gasped in shock, and then confusion.
Many of the ponies soon joined in the reaction once they saw it as well.
Although the baseball cap was now gone, there was something very unusual about The Batter’s revealed face. The Cell Jr’s looked on, there jaws dropped. Even in the blinding illumination of the laser passing over his head, even without his hat, even he had his head pointed DIRECTLY UPWARDS TOWARDS THE SKY… The Batter’s face was still totally obscured by shadow. Time rocketed forward to normal speeds, and just as the laser was dodged, The Batter fell back into a handstand and pushed himself into the air, landing on his feet. He turned, and saw his hat in the air. Before he could grab it out of the air, one of the Cell Jrs that wasn’t stunned grabbed his hat out of the air and started flying away. Batter didn’t lose a beat. He took off, blitzing through the crowd of Cell Jr’s towards the hat thief.
"H-how is that even BUCKING POSISIBLE!?" Starlight shouted.
“Don’t just stand there gawking! Get him!” shouted the actual Cell, and took off after The Batter encased in Kai energy. Now, a huge crowd of figured was running behind three figures flashing towards each other in a line. The Batter jumped and ran, dodging golden energy bullets from both ends, flinging his bat out to deflect a kai attack every second or so. The Cell Jr clutching the cap looked back, worried. The Batter was right behind him now, with the same stone cold, unmoving facial expression as always. The Cell Jr looked forward, surprised to see one of Batter’s ring add-on’s in his way. Unable to stop himself in time, Cell Jr ran into it full force and was terrified to find himself snared in the floating entity. He struggled, but before he could free himself, he was pulled free by the stern grip of The Batter. He held the little thing upside down, and stared into it’s eyes as he yanked his hat back and placed it on his head. The Cell Jr struggled against The Batter’s grip on his leg.
“Let me go!” He yelled. The Batter was happy to oblige.
Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun
The Batter let go of the little demon, and in one fluid motion brought his bat into it in a colossal strike that sent him zooming towards Perfect Cell at impossible speeds. Cell dodged out of the way and flew right into Batter’s face, who blocked his knee-up strike by lifting his bat. The Batter took a step back, and coiled his muscles to strike out at Cell. But instead of connecting with soft, insect rib cage, the strike passed right through. Cell was gone. Batter has half a second to ponder this before Cell punched Batter square in the back. Bones cracked. Before he knew what was happening, The Batter shattered two mountains with his ragdolling body as he careened through the air. The Batter lifted himself in a haze to see he was stuck in a crater inside of yet another mountain. Cell hadn't arrived, but Batter could sense an impure spirit headed his way.
Attack > Competences > Save second base
Attack > Items > Golden flesh
A wave of fatigue and injury were swept away like a bad dream. Feeling fully renewed, The Batter looked around for any of his ring add-on’s had followed him. One had, but not in the way he would have liked. One of his ring add-on’s was lying next to him, snapped in half. The Batter realized the add-on must have been caught in his path when he was sent flying. Quick as candlelight, The Batter pulled a silver card engraved with the shimmering persona of a classic jester.
Attack > Items > Joker Card
"There's no way that will work." Twilight said
The Joker Card glowed luminescent gold for a second, growing bright as the sun before burning to dust in the wind as The Batter pointed the card at the downed add-on. The ring shot back together, the scratched on it’s surface repaired. It picked up off the ground and began to hover in the sky once more.
"Sorry Queen Nerd, but I'm gonna flip off all your logic and revived the dead." Sans joked, mocking Twilight in the process.
“Epsilon, help me out!” Epsilon made an electronic beeping sound.
Attack > Competences > Classic Drama
The Batter felt the power of the competence course through his veins, raising his attack. He needed to do something… REALLY DRAMATIC.
"Like really dramatic or Rarity dramatic?" Applejack joked.
"Hey!" Rarity said
Cell was finally gaining the upper hand, just as he was supposed to. He flew through the sky, searching for The Batter. He would finish him off, now! There was the mountain he crashed into, but where is… Wait… Is that mountain… Moving?
The Batter jumped, the mountain in his hand. Cell watched it happening.
Twilight, Celestia Sunset, and Starlight all looked like they were about to faint at this finger to logic once again.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” The Batter suplexed the half destroyed mountain, slamming it down with both hands. The mountain dropped like, well, a mountain on top of Cell as he fell to the ground. Under 20 billion tons of rock, Cell lifted the mountain above his head, putting his back into it.
“I WILL NOT LOSE THIS WAY!” Cell pulled in a ripping motion with both hands, muscles rippling, and the mountain exploded. Not missing a beat, Cell flew at The Batter, who readied his stance for a fight.
Chunks of rock and shrapnel rained down from the sky. The Batter fell out of the air, bat held back for a strike, and shouted out a battle cry. Cell noticed his opponents wounds were healed now, probably by his own regeneration methods. Cell went into a style pose and let the fire in his eyes burn bright.
"He must be really really pissed, right Dashie?" Pinkie said to said mare.
"Buck yeah he is!" Rainbow shouted
They rammed into each other with the force of a thousand tornadoes, erupting the ground around them. The Batter threw punched and struck out fueled by his faith, while Perfect Cell jabbed and kicked with a certain discipline and skill, all stolen from the best martial artists in universe. Thunder struck in the background as this duo traded earth rocking blows. Rain began to pour down on the two interlocked fighters, but neither seemed to notice.
“DIE!” Cell threw a half hearted fist to bluff a punch, but instead pointed his finger towards Batter, firing off a red beam projectile. The Batter hit the death beam back at cell from close range with his bat. Cell ducked, letting the attack fly over his head. Behind him, the laser shot through Alpha, Batter’s ring add on, and deflected backwards. Cell sensed the energy of the attack just in time, moving his head slightly to one side and letting the beam fly back at Batter.
“KAIOKEN!” Cell shouted. A red aura folded around him, and he smiled. Cell ducked and weaved, dodging both his own laser beam and The Batter’s aluminum baseball bat.
“It’s useless!” Cell punched towards an opening in The Batter’s defences, landing a solid hit. The Batter stumbled back, but still managed to continue the Dead Man’s volley on the death beam.
“Alpha!” The Batter yelled in a demanding voice. Alpha beeped back.
Attack > Competences > Entire Chain
A long, silver, glowing chain ejected from the center of Alpha’s being towards Cell’s left shoulder, this one bearing a nasty looking knife on its gleaming tip. Cell remembered what had happened when one of his Cell Jr’s had been hit by one of those chains.
“KAIOKEN TIMES 2!” Cell continued to dodge and weave under and over the projectiles, far faster than before.
“Omega and Epsilon, you as well!”
Attack > Competences> Abstract Tragedy
Attack > Competences> Photographic Blur
“KAIOKEN TIMES 4!” Cell lept from the ground, pushed of the entire chain, dodging under two other projectiles and did the splits, spinning on his hands, pushed with both hands, and threw himself into the air, spinning.
Attack > Competences> Magic Homerun
Attack > Competences> Impossible Embrace
Attack > Competences> Requisite Embrace
Attack > Competences> Radial Blur
“KAIOKEN…”
Cell pushed the boundary of his own physical body, moving like a mad dancer on hot coals.
What Cell was doing was giving Sans Goosebumps.
"B-Batter's gonna lose...?" Sans asked.
Attack > Competences> Cubist Tragedy
Attack > Competences> Experienced Drama
Attack > Competences> Cubist Tragedy
Attack > Competences> Long Chain
Attack > Competences> Gaussian Blur
"TIMES…”
The Batter felt himself being pushed back by the force of the dozens of lasers, baseballs, abstract blobs and books of poetry he was deflecting back at his add on’s. The ground under his feet began to peel back, and The Batter pushed himself even harder, his hand motions became a blur. Both their movements were growing to fast to track.
Rainbow was impressed and wanted to move just as fast.
Attack > Competences> Magic Homerun
Attack > Competences> Impossible Embrace
Attack > Competences> Long Chain
Attack > Competences> Gaussian Blur
Attack > Competences> Photographic Blur
Attack > Competences> Requisite Embrace
Attack > Competences> Radial Blur
“TIMES 40!!!!”
Cell screamed. The Batter screamed. Perfect Cell began to spin like a top, knocking 5 lasers out of the sky with his outstretched arms. He lept into the air, and in one instant he began to karate chop and kick furiously at projectiles. Landing again, he began to spin once more, standing in space. Lasers ricochet every way imaginable, and Cell’s top tettered from side to side as it bore into the earth. In an instant, he was no longer a top, but instead leaping at The Batter, an enormous Kamehameha charged in his hand.
“DIE!!! SOLAR KAMEHAMEHA!” Cell slammed the blast into Batter’s face, shattering his skull with the punch alone. The blast shot in a building sized sylander or pure blue energy. The Batter was lifted from his feet and dragged across the night sky. The Batter was carried through the searing blast that threatened to peel away at his very existence. There was one final explosion of white hot, blinding energy. The Batter screamed again, and contorted as the laser climaxed.
"He's dead." Rainbow called, knowing there was no way he could live.
Pain. Thunder. Rain pattered down on The Batter’s form, kneeling in a mile-wide crater somewhere, several hundred miles away. He looked down at his burned hand, half the flesh melted off. He couldn't go on anymore. He was going to lose. He looked up. None of his ring Add-on’s were here. He couldn't think strait. How could the player let this happen to him? His mission was sacred. He couldn't fail. He reached out to the player for guidance. Nothing happened. The Batter stared up at the sky in shock. Had the player… abandoned him? No… He was never there to begin with. The Batter had just found out about the no help rule of Death Battle, the hard way. The Batter screamed to the sky, and began to change.
"Man that feller's both doomed without his puppeteer's guidance huh?" Applejack asked everyone on Team Cell
"Yeah" they said.
The Batter’s anguished screams traveled to the ears of Cell. He was still alive? Damn, he was certainly a persistent one. Cell needed to get to him before the idiot started to heal himself. That last blast had left him nearly drained of energy. He shot off into the storm, looking to finish the fight once and for all. It didn’t take him long. Several seconds later, something charged at him out of the storm with it's claws bared.
What in the world… Is that THING? A monstrous, contorted demon resembling the batter in clothing alone danced from the foggy night, blitzing forward, his sharp toothed crocodile mouth and baseball bat ready flung forward to strike. Cell dodged backwards, and landing 30 feet away, stance at the ready. The thing stood 10 feet tall, spine contorted and mouth gaping almost as wide as it’s white, blank fish eyes. It made a choking, hissing noise. Behind him, Cell could see The Batter’s ring Add-On’s melting to slag. This wasn’t a transformation, it was what The Batter really looks like. His disguise is broken.. Thought Cell, although he didn't exactly know how he knew.
“F̧͈̩̬͍͈͈̥R͇̭ͪ̽ͤ͐͌͊͝O̙̖͉̩̱͈͗ͣ̓͟M̼͐͌ͯ͂ͪ͊ͬ ̨̖̟̼͚̫͂̅ͪͬ̚N͓̗̺̟̂̿ͫ͗OW O̫̳̙̲͔̱͖̓ͧ̐̑́N̨̺̹̞͉̩͙̤̓.̖̳͎̯̟́.̸̭̅.

Cell covered his ears against the cacophony of screeching notes that was this things voice. It drained on his very sanity. That is the moment that Bad Batter took to strike.
"HOLY ME THAT IS SCARY!" Celestia shouted as she cursed herself
One clawed fist slammed into Cell's torso, sending him flying backwards. The Batter blitzed all around Cell as he flew across the terrain, making hitting Cell with thousands of bat swings and slashed forward, teleporting around Cell as he flew through the air. Bad Batter's lanky finally lashed out, grabbing Cell's arm and slammed Cell into the ground over and over again. To finish off (heh) his combo, Bad Batter jumped into the air, divekicking Cell's crumpled form into a hole in the ground. The Batter didn't let up. Using his bat, he made a flurry of baseball strikes towards the stunned form of Cell, carving a path into the deeper and deeper into the ground. After he was satisfied, The Bad Batter jumped out of the hole and stood there. Purification successful.
"No..." Those who we're actually fans of Cell said
(Stop music)
Suddenly, Cell jumped out of the hole in the ground, his wounds healed, a long green scorpion-like tail held above his head. SUCCESSFUL MY ASS!
"YES!" Those who were actually fans of Cell cheered
(Continue music)
The needle at the end of Cell's tail stabbed hard into The Batter's shoulder, sinking painfully into his pail flesh. Batter tried to look up, but he couldn't move a muscle. Before he began to suck The Batter's life energy out of him, Cell figured he would gloat first.
"All that talk about purification while you were walking around, an even bigger monster then myself."
The Batter struggled with all his will against the paralysis of the needle now impeded in his arm. If he could just...
"I can see the look in your eyes. Blood lust. I'm very familiar with it myself. Behind that heroic phasad, you're just like me. You don't really care about help people, or saving the world. All you care about it destruction."
The Batter reached one shaky hand into his pants pocket, clasping feebly around several slender objects.
"But I'm sorry to tell you that you won't get to kill anyone else. You see, this planet is only big enough for one killing machine. And that one is me.
The Batter lifted the joker cards out of his pocket and pointed them at the three ring add-on's laying melted on the ground not 10 feet away. The cards burst into flame and disintegrated as their power was passed through the air towards the rings.
"It's about time you learn the true meaning of PERFECT-"
Now imagine how surprised Cell, who was too busy gloating to see Cell resurrect his Add-On's, was when Alpha sliced into his neck and chin, knocking his head back and breaking his neck. Cell toppled backwards, flying over the hole and hitting the ground hard. He ripped Alpha out of his chin just in time for the other two add-on's to begin diving and weaving at him, striking him again and again as he flailed uselessly like a man being attacked by a swarm of angry bees. Suddenly, the ring add-on's flew away from him in all directions. Cell looked up to see Bad Batter running at him full force.
"Man he's really arrogant isn't he?" Sans said to Team Cell
It was on top of him in an instant. It bit down on his arm, hard, rending the limb from his body. Cell shouted and stumbled back, clustering a great deal of ki into a ball of energy and throwing it at the horrifying creature. Bad Batter simply dematerialized for a second with speed, allowing the bullet to pass through him, and reappeared in the same place again. It reached out with one gangly arm, razor sharp claws tearing a swath across Cell’s torso and toppling him to the ground. It dropped it’s bat, and fell onto the helpless Cell as it began to tear him to pieces and devour him.
"He's gonna die." Team Cell cheered
One sharp claw flew across Cell’s torso and brought out his small intestines. The Batter reached out and grabbed the organ and gobbled it down. Opening his mouth once more, he chomped down on Cell’s torso. shaking him, sending green blood flying every which direction. Cell screamed in agony, sending Bad Batter into a frenzy. He began to claw at his limbs, tearing his other arm off and sending it flying to 5 feet away, leaving a trail of green blood through the air. Finally, Bad Batter held both claws on either side of Cell’s torso, cross crossed onto either shoulder. He shot his maw out and clasped Cell’s head, goring it from his body and throwing it away from him. He began to eat the torso then, boring his fangs in, and ripping clean more gore and blood. He gorged on the torso as the rain poured down harder than ever.
(Stop Music)
Having his fill, The Batter reached his now human hand down and picked up his baseball bat and began to walk away. He didn’t realize that he had left the head of Perfect Cell intact, or what that meant. He looked up out of the clearing his was now in to see the army of Cell Jr’s looking down at him in horror, seeing the mutilated remains of their father and the green blood running down The Batter’s chin. The Batter tipped his hat at them, one red eye gleamed from beneath the shadows. He grinned at them. Each and every Cell Jr turned and began to run away, flying full force. The Batter began to walk after them. He could take his time. They were slow, and he had all the time in the world.
"Where's the KO?" Pinkie asked
One minute later, Perfect Cell stood up, fully regenerated from the head. Even though he was back to near full physical health, he was drained, and he somehow KNEW that… THING was coming back for him, and soon. He racked his brain for what trump cards he might have that could help him now.
And then, a lightbulb dinged in his head.
Cell flew fifty feet into the air and held both hands up towards the sky, and prepared to charge the soul bomb. He needed to gather energy from somewhere. Hmmm… The earth would do just fine. If he was right then mother Earth herself felt that this otherworldly stranger didn’t belong in this dimension, and she would help him out.
Twilight looked at Sans and opened her mouth to ask him something.
"Try that on me and I will lock you in a room with no books." Sans said in a serious tone.
If looks could kill, Twilight will already be halfway to the afterlife.
“Alright, give it everything you've got!” Blue energy began to charge over his head into a azure ball of pure good energy. It grew…
The Batter got up from the last Cell Jr’s corpse he had just finished beating to death and looked at the carnage. All done, purification successful. He turned to walk back and… What in creation? A gigantic ball of energy the size of a small town was hovering in the air. Cell began to walk towards it to see what the hell was going on.
As The Batter arrived, the earth gave the last bit of energy it could spare, and the soul bomb reached a towering size. The Batter looked up at the massive entity. with a blank look on his face. “Well, It’s been fun, Batter, but It’s finally time for you to meet your maker. You see, you might have had a chance fighting me before, but that opportunity has long gone. You see, once I am badly beaten or reduced to near death, I gain a massive boost in power. Frankly, you might as well give up now.” Cell didn't say anything about how he was almost totally reduced of all his energy, but what The Batter didn't know would hopefully hurt him.
"This... is... OVER!!!" Rainbow, Pinkie, and Spike cheered.
The Batter didn't say anything. He stood there, with the same blank expression on his face, bat slung over his shoulder, watching Cell intently.
Cell looked down, his face suddenly contorting in rage.
"Didn't you hear me, you insufferable fool? You're going to DIE! Do you really have nothing to say about it? Are you just going to stand there and wait for death?"
"No." Cell looked down, even more rage on his face.
"No?! Then DO SOMETHING! SAY SOMETHING! SHOW SOME EMOTION! YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID, YOUR ABOUT TO DIE!"
"I won't act afraid because I'm not afraid." Cell wasn't happy.
"Well he seems to be much for conversation." Starlight said sarcastically
"DIE WITH THIS PATHETIC PLANET, YOU EMOTIONALLY INEPT BUFFOON!" Cell thrust his hands from above his head directly towards The Batter.
The Batter took a stance similar to most baseball players and pulled out the Harold Bat.
The Soul bomb set off towards The Batter, screeching through the air. The shear size of the thing made it seem almost slow.
It began to loom over the batter, gaining speed
The batter pulled his hat down father over his head, calculating distance and speed.
Cell poured more energy into it...
The batter tensed...
-And struck!
The Harold Bat collided with the Soul Bomb at miraculous speeds. The Batter struggled against the force excreted by the luminescent ball of blue energy. He felt his skin begin to burn as he felt the radiating power of the soul bomb singing everything around it. It was strong... But not strong enough.
The Harold Bat stretched and bent as The Batter exerted more force on the soul bomb. Just a little... SNAP! Stuck between a rock and hard place, the Harold Bat shattered in two pieces. The Soul Bomb gained ground for just a second as The Batter pulled the even stronger Masashi Bat and struck at the Soul Bomb. Another explosion resignated, raizing the earth up out of it's shell in a shock wave pattern.
"I'm not afraid because I have a cause, and you might not believe me when I say it is just, but it is more then you have."
SNAP! The Masashi Bat snapped at the handle and was engulfed in the infinite ancient energy of the earth. The Batter whipped out the Emmanuel Bat, much quicker this time, and smashed it into the soul bomb once more.
"I'm not afraid because there's victory in death, even if I die, I will have died for my cause".
Cell strained, a bead of sweat dripping down his face. "Nnnh... SHUT UP!" Cell surged more power into the soul bomb, forcing it forward. SNAP! The Masashi bat splintered, falling to the ground like a fallen knight. Quick as candlelight, the Michael Bat was drawn out and swung with fury.
"But most of all, I'm not afraid because I'm not going to die."
SNAP! Almost at the same time of the Michael Bat fell, The Batter pulled the Yoshihiro Bat out of hammer space.
"I've fought many for my cause, most stronger then you, and none of them scared me. I've killed my love ones, I've fought my equals, and every time none of them made me feel anything.
SNAP!
"YOU ARE NO EXCEPTION! I will not die for my cause, because it must be completed, and because you cannot stop me. I will purify the zones. You cannot slay me."
SNAP! With a final blow, the Ashley Bat, The Batter's most powerful weapon, was brought out and smashed against the soul bomb, skidding it backwards a few inches. Cell looked down at the this single figure, the one who had matched him, and even surpassed him, in every category up to now. The man- No, the THING- that had surpassed perfection, who stood not an inch away from the soul bomb, bat pressed against it. Yet he didn't flinch. He had no expression at all.
"nO.. iT's noT... POssiBLE.. I AM THE pERFECT LIFEFORM..."
"Cell, guardian of this zone, impure spirit of perfection, you have been defeated. My judgement is completed."
Attack > Competences > Ultimate Homerun A columb of black smoke, surrounded by a spiral of dripping plastic, swirling meat chunks and metal plating, all topped off by a glowing aura of sugar shot forth from the tip of the Auburn bat, shooting out for hundreds of feet.
"This zone is now pure."
"No... fucking... way..." Rainbow said sadly at PERFECT Cell's failure.
The Batter flung the bat forward, launching the Soul Bomb with little effort out towards a cell who was drained of energy, out of trump cards, and at the end of the line. The tip of the Ultimate Home run sliced him easily in half as it passed by, and all he could do is watch as the Soul Bomb blitzed towards him. There was no time to teleport away, to use a technique, to anything. The soul bomb slammed into him, shooting off towards the sky. Cell's flesh burned, singed, sizzled, like he had been dropped in a giant deep fryer. He sunk deeper into the good energy like quicksand as it spiraled off in a direct path towards the sun. The Soul Bomb formed a speed barrier as it broke the atmosphere, now going even faster. The soul bomb blazed through deep space, now the speed of light, now twice the speed of light, three times. Cell was hauled along, knowing that soon he would be caught between the soul bomb and the sun. In that moment, as he was carried away, he died, shouting and curing the world, The Batter, and everything else at the top of his ability. He screamed. Or maybe it was only a whisper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KO!
Boomstick: Damn, The Batter actually pulled it off.
Wiz: So first of all, what did Cell have that was superior to The Batter? Well first of all, people in DBZ have shown light speed or FTL reactions before so depending on your standpoint on DBZ, Cell could be faster, or at least as fast at The Batter. And admittedly, the genes of some of the smartest people on earth and the most skilled fighters in the universe who train non-stop to become the ultimate martial arts experts for sure tops 2 minutes of training from a cat you just met. He also had a wide verity of techniques that could be used in creative ways, but it didn't really matter much. There's a couple reasons. Boomstick, why don't you cover the whole regeneration thing.
"The Batter was trained by a cat?" Fluttershy asked.
"Said cat was actually The Judge." Sans explained
"So this powerful Judge is in actuality a small cuddly animal? Oddly not the strangest thing I've heard." Rainbow deadpanned, this made Cell feel even more pathetic.
"Yay." Fluttershy said.
Boomstick: Fine. While Cell has awesome, atomic level regeneration abilities, Cell took that power from Piccolo, who has died before from getting hit with a powerful enough attack. However, this is an' upgraded form of that ability, meaning that unless The Batter could destroy every cell in his body, he couldn't win. So this should be an instant win, yeah? Well... No, because surprisingly, The Batter's healing stuff is actually better. Now hear me out. The Batter has healing techniques that use competences, so he could be regenerating himself to full health just as much as cell could. This seems even at face value, especially when you think about how The Batter also uses a limited store of energy. But the thing is, The Batter could restore his energy with silver and golden flesh, meaning that he wouldn't run out of energy from fighting for too long. On top of that, if all else failed, he also had healing ITEMS to use if his energy and CP healing items ran out. And to top it all off the ring Add-Ons could use healing and CP restoring items on him at any point in the fight, meaning that he wouldn't have to stop and concentrate on it like Cell. And Cell's durability wasn't even that good, he was almost totally destroyed by a planet busting Kamehameha, relying on his regeneration to keep him intact. But the question is what about Cell's regeneration? The Batter can't do that, can he?
"Yeah that's right how can he?" Luna asked
Wiz: Joker cards. And remember, the ring add-on's can use items too, meaning that they all could resurrect The Batter if he died. But all of that is meaningless, because Cell has almost no way of harming The Batter. But the question is "how strong is The Batter?"
Boomstick: So for this, we'll see how much power it takes to destroy the zones.
"Seems fair enough." Celestia said with curiosity
Wiz: I calculated the amount of time it takes to get around The Nothingness in seconds. Remember, everything in The Nothingness happens at the speed of light, so multiply that by 299,792,458, and you have the meters length of each side these flower looking things that are The Zones. Some of the stuff in the middle was too inconsistent to use. Then, you use 850 as sea level, and you do some of this...
Boomstick: Calculate the Area, and what do you get?
Wiz: 594212551.641 or 4.44x1018 km^3. To put that into perspective, The Sun is only 1.41x1018km3. That means that each swing from The Batter's bat was equal to about four sun busting attacks, three if we're being generous. And when you consider that a solar system is mostly made up by the sun, that means that every single basic attack The Batter makes is like getting hit with two of the solar kamehameha's that killed Cell at the end of Cell Saga, if we're being totally generous. And that's only if you don't consider the Auburn bat, witch hits twice for each attack, meaning it's really more like four Solar Kamehamehas with each attack. It's also not considering competences, witch make his attacks many more times more potent then normal. And then, there's the Add-Ons.
Twilight, Starlight, Sunset, and Celestia looked like they were on the verge of Insanity
Boomstick: Remember when we said that the ring Add-Ons share most of the same feats as The Batter? Well, this is no exception. They also fought the queen. And before you say that that makes it unbalanced, that the queen was fight a 4 on one match so The Batter isn't at least equal to The Queen, remember that The Queen had ring add-on's of her own, all about equal to her as well.
Wiz: So let's do the math: One star to solar system buster at his peak versus four casual quadruple star busting/quadruple star durability fighters with almost equal speed. No amount of regeneration or creativity could save Cell in this fight.
Rainbow groaned at the facts.
Boomstick: I guess Cell, was struck out.
Many of them groaned at this, while Rainbow groaned at Cell's lose, while Pinkie (and Sans) giggled.
Wiz: The Winner is The Batter
(Stop Music) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Well that was fun." The Batter said.
The box glowed as their gifts came.
"Let me guess, there's something in there for us?" The Batter asked.
"H-how did you...?" Twilight began
"Just a hunch." Batter joked.
"What's in it Spike?" Rainbow asked
"Just some Manga for DBZ, some DBZ Cell shirts, some OFF The Batter Shirts...." Spike said looking through it. "Hey look a found 3 gifts, one for Me, one for Fluttershy, and one for you Rainbow." Spike said after a minute and handed them to said receivers.
Rainbow opened her gift and gasped. It was a costume that looked like Perfect Cell's Body and Head fitted for her. It even had holes for her wings.
Spike opened his and found a costume as well, except this was of The Bad Batter. His head was sadly still shown through the mouth however.
Fluttershy opened her gift, it was a beautiful photo of 2 cats and a man that resembled Zacharie with a girl who wore no shirt and covered her privates with tape that resembled Xs. They were in a strange yellow area that looked like it was a fictional world. There were words on it "Greetings my dear shy friend from Zone 0." She smiled at that and found 2 plushy versions of the cats to go with her Doomguy plushy. "Yay." she said with joy, hugging the two plush cats.
Eventually Zacharie one again appeared and said "I'm back, what did I miss?"
"A Bad to the bone battle." Batter said bluntly
"Alright then, time to send the 4 back." He said shrugging and with that sent the princess sisters back to Canterlot and sent the two high schoolers back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day every student except Sunset and Sans had one question on their mind.
...Where and what the hell is Perfect University?
The only response they got was “It was a gift.” & “You’re not worthy of that knowledge.” from Sans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zacharie appeared with the others gods.
"How did I do?"
"VERY GOOD. I'M SUPRISED YOU BALENCED IT OUT." Deadman said
“Thanks. It wasn’t easy to do so.”
“SO YOU GONNA STICK AROUND OR HEAD OFF.”
“The latter. Welp see you soon.”
And with that Zacharie left.
Finding the Howling Stone, Oddities over the week, & Transformations
I found the Howling Stones in a tree near some mountains. So if I ever need assistance in combat I could summon Link to help fight.
Anyway the rest of week was rather strange.
For starters let me tell you what happened the next day.
...in a 3rd person style
"Rainbow Dash, I simply don't understand why you can't just play the guitar you have." Rarity asked only to see a worn and broken guitar.
Rarity gasps as she said "Now I understand."
Suddenly a familiar voice said "Oh Heya, didn't expect to see you girls here." as they turned to see Sans walking towards them.
"I could say the same thing." Rainbow said back
"So what are you doing here?" Rarity asked.
"Oh just looking for a guitar" He said picking up a black one with silver strings. "Nah." and he continued looking.
Pinkie Pie held a purple guitar "How about this one?"
"No." Rainbow said in response.
Pinkie Pie held a banjo "Lookie here!"
"No."
Pinkie had a tuba "Super groovy!"
Rainbow Dash stopped her "No, Pinkie."
"Well, whatcha looking for?" Applejack asked.
"That's the problem! I need something that looks as awesome as I'm gonna make it sound." Rainbow said as she kept looking.
She found a double necked guitar with lighting bolts on it. She grabbed one neck as another hand of a white haired girl dressed as a wizard or magician.
"Hands off my guitar, Trixie!" Rainbow shouted at the wizard girl.
"I touched it first, Rainbow Dash!" The girl now known as Trixie shouted back.
"Sounds to me like this is a makin' for a nice, friendly competition." Applejack said.
Sans continued to search as he barely paid any mind to the girls.
Rainbow shouted "All right! Let's see who plays best!"
Trixie narrowed her eyes "A shred-off?"
Rainbow Dash was determined to win as she narrowed her eyes as well "Shred on."
The two girls fight to outperform each other with their solo guitar riffs. As Trixie begins to gain the upper hand, Rainbow Dash's entire body levitates into the air and surges with an electrical aura, transforming her and changing her guitar's appearance. Rainbow Dash hits the ground and creates a rainbow colored sonic boom like shockwave that blows Trixie literally away.
Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity were all cheering at Rainbow's victory.
"Wait where's Sans" Rarity asked, concerned that he'll bombard them with questions after he might have seen or saw that Rainbow was transformed.
Speaking of said friend, Sans had recently found a simple black guitar and if you asked Vinyl she tell you he said "Perfect. Now to go and make the guitar of my dreams." and that he bought it and left without even noticing the obviousness of Rainbow's transformation, much less the shred-off in general.
Rainbow Dash victoriously shouted "Check me out!"
Vinyl presented Rainbow the double necked guitar. Rainbow stopped and looked down at the transformed guitar in her hands "Uh, she can have it. Turns out this is the one that really speaks to me."
Trixie snatched the guitar and shouted victoriously "The Great and Powerful Trixie always wins in the end!" She then began laughing manically.
Rainbow cut her off with a smartass "I doubt it."
Trixie, confused, checked the price tag and was shocked by the easily affordable price of "Twelve-thousand dollars?! You'll pay for this, Rainbow Dash!" She shouted to the rainbow haired guitarist.
Pinkie went back and joked "No, silly! If you want it, you have to pay for it."
That was one the events that happened behind my back.
The other 4 I heard from them later on we're something about Fluttershy playing the tambourine to calm down some hamsters before they shred themselves to pieces, Pinkie playing the drum as an outlet for her 24/7 sugar rush, Rarity playing the keytar to be much more convenient than her large classic piano, and Applejack getting her bass back from the pawn shop after it was accidently sold in a garage sale.
One thing that linked all 5 of these events was that they would grow pony ears in the matching skin tone and their hair would grow to the ground, tied near the waist like a tail when they played their instrument of choice. The only difference was that Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash would grow blue and yellow feathered wings respectively.
How I didn't notice is the real mystery since in the meantime I was upgrading a black guitar with white stripes to be more comfortable for me to use it. It didn't have much physical change but it was much lighter than the average guitar and made of iron too. Don't ask me how I did it, I'm not sure myself.
Anyway it's been an odd week, but hey I got the Howling Stone. So that's at least an bonus.
But enough of the side stuff. However later on I learned something I didn't know I could do and it explained a few things.
"Wonder what Link's been up to? I wonder how the Wide Angle is working out for him." I said thinking in the fields in some park as I rested, school let out only a few hours ago.
I was wondering how the girls were doing, I heard they made a band called "The Rainbooms" as I've been told. Weird name, I'd be willing to bet Rainbow named them and was lead singer just because it was her idea.
My thoughts drifted back to the duel with Link. I understand he was confused at the time and didn't know who I was, plus me summoning the Add-Ons didn't help. But how did I turn into the Bad Batter? After all that form was only a change in perspective, not a transformation. I figure it was a transformation for me in this world, but do I have other forms? I decided to try and start simple with the Bad Batter.
I focused on the monstrous incarnation as I felt my arms and hands expand, yet grow no muscle and my head turn into the alligator head of the beast within. I was the Bad Batter once more. I also felt a boost in my stats, out of curiosity I tried to summon the Add-Ons. But they didn't summon, not even after 10 tries.
So no Add-Ons was a drawback, and thanks to my battle with Link, I knew that if I had them out anyway, they would melt faster than an ugly witch getting wet and melting.
I turned back on my own as I focused on transforming back to me. Honestly the last thing I need is being dissected for all the world to see in Area 51.
I need is being dissected for all the world to see in Area 51.
As I then thought of other forms The Batter had in any OFF fangames, two came to mind, The Executioner from "HOME" and The Ghost Batter from various fangames like "CONTINUE STOP RISE" & "UNKNOWN".
I decided to try Ghost Batter first. I focused on the supernatural form and felt myself faint. When I came too a few seconds later I got up and felt taller looked down to see... me. I was dead on the ground as I checked my shoulders down to my hand only to see the disembodied arms and hand floating next to me as I saw the familiar hands. I noticed I lacked legs, instead I have a tail in it's place. I noticed my Ashley Bat on the ground and attempted to pick it up to test something. I picked it up and found I couldn't use it. This was to be expected of course. Soon I learned the capabilities of this form, which I'll talk about later, but next I wanted to try The Executioner form. I felt a grim reaper styled robe fade onto my body as my bat extended and grew a blade, making it a scythe of reaper doom to all my adversaries.
However, these I soon learned and figured these forms held advantages & drawbacks and some I haven't tested in theory.
The Bad Form was larger and therefore a larger target to attacks. It at least boosts my Strength, Defense, Speed, and Competence at the cost of his HP being halved doesn't help him due to his size. My Esprit however stay the same. It replaces my bat with claws with similar effects and stats to my Ashley Bat. I can even use the large alligator head to bite. Most of my competences change, elemental competences turn into draining attacks and I can only heal himself when I uses a healing competence as he drains them from his foes with no way of choosing anyone else. My stronger attacks can also can cause status effects.
The Ghost Batter form was most likely weak to any anti ghost weapons and fighters like myself. Making foes like the Ghostbusters, Danny Phantom, and Pac-Man my worst choice of using this form against. I could at least phase through walls if I wanted to and possibly attacks aimed at me, I also could turn invisible, and fly. It also boosts only my Speed, Competence, Health, and Defense. My Strength and Esprit stay the same. Despite not being able to use my bat, I can somehow still use Homerun Competences and my attacks felt like using the Ashley Bat. I believe when fighting with allies he can heal every ally at once using his competences, but the amount of heath that recovers is reduced. Elemental Competences are replaced by attacks that can hit all enemies at once, kinda like Epsilon's Competences. This form is also a positive buffer an can increase certain attacks.
The Executioner Form has no resistance or weaknesses to any element. I felt my Attack, Defense, Speed, and Esprit boost. My Competence and Health stayed the same. My bat extends and turns into a reaper scythe of similar strength and attributes to the Ashley Bat in attacking twice and using the elements metal and meat like all my forms. I have all my basic competences still unlike the other forms which transform them into more fitting competences.
The transformations all share a few aspects. Like how I can't use my Add-Ons, I get boosted in certain stats, All forms also have 3 bonus competences.
Bad Batter:
-Steal Final Base: Steals 1/2 of the enemy max HP (25% of Max CP)
-Nightmarish Run: Special attack inflicting Fear and Insomnia (40 of Max CP)
-Horrific Homerun: Special Attack of insane impact (50% of Max CP)
Ghost Batter:
-Incredible Pitch: Increases All Allies Stats (25% of Max CP)
-Ghost Smash: Physical attack of multiple cataclysmic impacts (25% of Max CP)
-Ghastly Homerun: Special attack of mysterious impact (50% of Max CP)
The Executioner:
-Save Last Base: Reanimates an ally with max HP (25% of Max CP)
-Run with Terror: Special attack of the element fear (50 CP)
-Omega Homerun: Special attack of chaotic impact (50% of Max CP)
Now then after I should head back to my van and get some rest. It's been a long day after all and I'm feeling a little sleepy from all that transforming. I assume that is also a con if I transform often, I'd be left exhausted.
I left the park and got back in my van, still tired from my transformation steak in one day. I fell on my bed as I was dead asleep in 10 seconds flat. I was asleep, unaware of the yellow eyes and the voice "So he has yet to find purify a single soul, I wonder if he is the same person who killed my home. ...Nah, he has to be the same one, perhaps it's a façade, he will show his true colors someday. I should kill him now though, but he has yet to commit a sin in this world and I still doubt he is the same purifier or just somebody who resembles the demented sportsman. I suppose I could keep my eyes on him just a while longer. But still, I have to wonder...
I found myself in a new area, Probally another dream battle I have to endure. First Mettaton, then Daybreaker, now what?
I look around, I was in a dark room. The only thing in the room was a painting of an iconic hero of gaming himself. (Ignore Luigi or replace him with The Batter/Sans)
When I reaches out to the painting of Mario, A phantom took the painting away, and attempts to scare me back down, failing miserably as the result was anger rather than fear. He had menacing pink eyes, a purple gemmed crown on top of his head, black eyelashes, tons of sharp fangs, and a dark purple tongue. This impure spectre, better known as King Boo, then partakes in trying to mock me, much to my annoyance. Luckily he stopped as fast as he started.
"Mwahahaha! Now what do we have here? Why, if it isn't my old pal Lu-" He started only to stop as he got a good look at me.
"...Who the heck are you?" He asked out of curiosity as my appearance truly perplexed him.
"I am The Batter, I have come to purify you King Boo. I know what you broke and I have come to take it back." I said ready to fight. I knew where I was, I knew what to do. I have to fight King Boo and defeat him, once and for all.
He laughed as he admitted "Yes, it was I who broke the Dark Moon! This power-enhancing jeweled crown of mine made it easy. And now that all the ghosts of Evershade Valley are under my control...it's time to take my rightful place as the supreme ruler of your world! ...Now that I think of it, you, Batter, will look great hanging on the wall of my throne room! Aaaaaahahaha!"
The room finally lit up as I could see the room around me more clearly.
"Purification in progress..." I muttered, ready to fight this corrupted guardian of specters, er... I mean King Boo. Where did that even come from? Oh well, I'll look into it. Anyway, I was ready to fight as I summoned my Add-Ons.
Attack > Competences > Wide Angle
King Boo The king of the Paranormal Dimension. 300 HP INF CP Strong Weakness against Light and the Poltergust 3000/5000
King Boo slammed down on the ground as I was pushed back by the shockwave.
Attack > Competences > Entire Chain
As Alpha shot forth a chain of light, I began to dodge the red spike balls dropping from the ceiling as King Boo got hit by one as he was paralyzed.
Attack > Competences > Radical Blur
Omega shot forth as he rushed at King Boo, reducing his defense as he struck as King Boo felt the damage.
King Boo then forced us into a hall as I ran forward, dodging most of the traps, knowing fully that he was in hot pursuit until I escaped him as I was back in the room he forced me out of.
Attack > Competences > Unrevokable Drama
I felt a small increase in speed as King Boo called down lightning as I dodged most of them it thanks to the light agility boost I got. The tiles that got hit turned into either sand or ice.
Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun
I jumped up high as I smacked the impure king towards the ground.
He dropped more spike balls as I felt them hit me and my Add-Ons. I dodged quickly and let loose with the competences.
Attack > Competence > Entire Chain
Attack > Competence > Photographic Blur
Attack > Competence > Classic Drama
Attack > Competence > Ultimate Homerun
With that, the king could take our attacks. He fell and turned into a pile of blood and ectoplasm.
Purification successful
I got no new moves this time but I didn't care as I left. An uncharacteristic smirk plastered on my face.
I felt myself vanish.
With that. There was nothing in that void except for the now forever unconscious Mario trapped in a painting trapped in a void of emptyness.
