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
Before anybody could say anything, a hyper active voice that reminded me of a certain adorable fusion of animals, a skeleton, or a merc with a mouth.
"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.
