[darkpaladin109]

So, what do I do now that I lost?

For now you can replace Fortis, as he hasn't reported and has gone over his deadline, so you can keep playing in his name. As a replacement you can send a pitcher and batter order for The Dragons, or, as Manager of The Dragons, you can replace their players and change their name (basically, as re-signing up) if you want (though not to "The Makuta", and not to the names of those players, since that team was eliminated from the league.)

Tell me if you want to do this, otherwise, the Dragon's will get seeded (this makes them unable to qualify to Semi-finals), but you will be able to replace Playergamer if he doesn't report back (this is an offer opened to any person reading this who doesn't have a team already on the league, because I'd rather have player replacements than using secret numbers, which were meant to speed things up, not take the place of players.)

I suppose I'l think this over a bit, and post my decision later. I still have another question: Will my team get to compete in the next round or whatever you call what's gonna be after this?

[Vytron]

Welcome back Playergamer!

I suppose I'l think this over a bit, and post my decision later. I still have another question: Will my team get to compete in the next round or whatever you call what's gonna be after this?

Yes, we'd just pretend you were Fortis from the start, you'd play the games he'd have played.

Incoming game:
The Hags (My Name is Immaterial) Vs. The Greedy Gobbos (Playergamer) - Last Match, Game 1

[Vytron]

"Hello! I'm My Melody, and I will be the umpire and host in the next game of Fantasy Grand Slam! The Greedy Gobbos and Playergamer look rather angry after their loss against The Dragons, and are looking forwards to their revenge, while the Hags and My Name is Immaterial look rather happy, at least, the visible ones, as we all know the other ones have already found a way to hide underwater! The game is taking place at the Big Doughnut Stadium, and everyone is ready!"

"Meh, where's the pizza slice, it smiled better, what I would do for a byte..."

"Oh, Jastor, Jastor Jastor, this is your life thread, isn't it? How long is it?"

"Not much!"

"Your days are counted."

"I know you girls measure the threads and cut them and whatever, but that's about it, you can't make adjustments..."

"Oops! Looks like I measured wrong! Jastor's thread is just... a little bit shorter!"

Gulp

"Leave him alone, you hags! As if scaring children was special, have scared many myself, that's just one thing that we gobbos do, among all things--"

"BOO!"

"AAHH! Excuse me, I'll be right back!"

"Let's get on with the game!"

The Hags (My Name is Immaterial) Vs. The Greedy Gobbos (Playergamer)

Pitcher - Batter

As Jastor appears on the plate, Mara creates powerful illusions of beautiful female goblins that seduce him, when he realizes it, they're all gone, and Mara had made him strikeout.

<[1][1]: 6>3. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Jastor out.

--------



After Bones threw the ball Clotho grabbed from her pocket the ball's life thread and spun it causing the ball to go flying to the right line, after bouncing on the ground Jastor grabbed it and attempted to run to first, but Clotho was faster for a single.

<[1][1]: 2<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>
Clotho on first.

--------

1 out.


Mara created once again, powerful illusions for Ib, but he still swung his telescope. The ball hit and broke it into pieces, but then the ball hit Ib on the face, earning him a free base.

<[2][1]: 1<2. Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Ib on first.

--------

Clotho on first.


Bones threw the ball and Atropos made an awesome hit with her giant scissors towards the gap! Clotho made it to second as G1 created a ball of magic energy to catch the ball, but failed! He then tripped and sank inside the donut, while Clotho made it to third! Full of jelly he left the hole on the floor and attempted to throw the ball, but it was too sticky! Choto scored the first run of the game, and Atropos reached third and started to run to home, but G1 detached the ball from his hand with magic and then threw it to home base, getting Atropos out before she could score!

<[2][1]: 11. Batter out, rest of players advance 3 bases.>
Clotho scored. Atropos out.

--------

The Hags 1 - The Greedy Gobbos 0

Ib on first.
1 out.


Gil wasn't distracted by Mara's illusions as he was expecting them, and then made a hit to the left field. Ib ran to second and Gil ran to first as Clotho had problems grabbing the ball that almost falls over the doughnut's edge, but she caught it and threw it to second, but Gil was already safe there, while Ib was on third.

<[3][1]: 4<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Ib on third, Gil on second.

--------

1 out.


Bones threw a bone, Lachesis hit the bone and then started to run to first, however, Bones then just surprised her by throwing the actual ball to first before she arrived, getting her out.

<[3][1]: 0>5. batter is out.>
Lachesis out.

--------

Ib on third, Gil on second.
1 out.


Mara made illusions of gobbos...

"Ugh! Those girls are so ugly!"

"They... look like you?"

"Case in point!"

Mara then accidentally hit the batter again, allowing Oid a free base.

"Hey! No need to get violent about it!"

<[1][2]: 62. Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Oid on first. Gil on second. Ib on third. Bases loaded.

--------

2 outs.


Bones threw the ball when suddenly Nellie's arms came out of the doughnut with a bat that hit the ball into the gap, This time Gobbo tried to grab it but it fell from the doughnut's edge, so he had to teleport to catch it and then teleport back into the doughtnut, he then threw the ball to third but Nellie grabed the base and used her long arms to move the rest of her body to it for a triple!

<[1][2]: 2<5. Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Nellie on third.

--------

Oid on first. Gil on second. Ib on third. Bases loaded.
If the Greedy Gobbos home run they win.
1 out.


Mara's illusions of goblins that looked like Green didn't have much of an effect, and he just went and threw one of his signature punkin bombs towards the ball, creating a big explosion that sent the ball flying to the right field! Lachesis failed to grab the ball and the Gobbos didn't seem slow at all as Ib scored the first run of The Greedy Gobbos while the rest of the players advanced a base. Gil now started to run towards home, as Lachesis finally grabbed the ball and threw it to home with all her strength, but Gil dived into home to score the second run of the gobbos for a double!

<[2][2]: 14. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Ib scored, Gil scored, Oid on third, Green on second.

--------

The Hags 1 - The Greedy Gobbos 2

Nellie on third.
2 outs.


Nellie sent her arms towards the home plate, as Peg attempted to send the ball flying, but she failed to it hit! As Nellie's arms were about to reach it Oid, the catcher, tagged her for an out. This was the third out and end of the bottom of the inning. The Greedy Gobbos can attempt to score until getting three outs.

<[2][2]: 1>5. player in lowest base is out and batter tries again.>
Nellie out. Third out.

--------

Oid on third, Green on second.
If the Greedy Gobbos score they win.
1 out.


G1 created a big ball of magic energy, and as Mara threw the ball, upon contact with the magic the ball became terribly heavy, and fell on the ground, making a big hole in the sweet bread of the doughnut as Oid started to run to home. Nana Yaga, the catcher, started desperately to get her right arm into the hole that the ball left, but it was useless, the ball has gone throw the jelly and to the other side of the doughnut, making it impossible for the Hags to ever find the ball for an underneath-the-field-home-run!

Oid scored the winning run as Green went flying with his Goblin Glider to home for an extra run, and a bit later a victorious looking G1 reached home plate to score another! Playergamer has broken the record of runs scored in a game!

<[3][2]: 4<6. Batter and everyone on bases score.>
Oid scored. Green scored. g1 scored.

--------

The Hags 1 - The Greedy Gobbos 2
Second inning.



"Gah! I didn't get to bat at all  "

"Wouldn't have made a difference! At no point you could have scored 5 runs, we completely dominated this!"

"Yeah, it's because of demons like Mara that I love this sport. I wished more pitchers were like her. Keep up the good job!"

The Shape-shifters (xelada) Vs. The Dragons

Pitcher - Batter



Not a good start for Kitsune, Rhatalos makes a hit, and it bounces on a flying cow making it hard to catch for a player that just looks like Rhatalos on center field. Doppelgänger finally throws the ball to second but Rathalos is faster for a double.

<[1][1]: 2<4: Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases..>
Rhatalos on second.

--------



Mimic makes a solid hit to the left line, Smaug on third grabs the ball and can't send it to first before Mimic makes it there.

<[1][1]: 6<2: Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Mimic on first.

--------

Rhatalos on second.


Mushu comes to the plate with a normal sized bat, relative to his size, which looks like a small bat, but as Kitsune throws the ball, Mushu its it into a flying barn that is the sucked into the tornado to the surprise of the Shape-shifters! Lupin crates a magic force shield and enters the tornado to look for the ball. Unfortunately he's too slow, and when he comes back with it, Rathalos has scored the first run and Mushu is running to home! Lupin throws the ball there to try to stop him but fails!

"I didn't know I loved tornadoes!"

<[2][1]: 3<6. Batter and everyone on bases score>
Rhatalos scored. Mushu scored.

--------

The Shape-shifters 0 - The Dragons 2

Mimic on first.


Selkie is impressed by the two runs by the dragons, but doesn't lose its composure. It makes a hit to center field, Mushu attempts to catch the ball but fails, and in the process starts getting sucked by the tornado! But he managed to grab the ball and come back to the ground, only to find Mimic is on third and Selkie is on second for a double!

<[2][1]: 1<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Mimic on third. Selkie on second.

--------



Kitsune is happy for a while as the first two heads of King Ghidora swing and miss for 2 strikes, but the third one hits the ball with tremendous force to the left field, where Skin-shifter fails to catch the ball and has to transform into a bird to go and grab it and throw it to second but it was too late and Ghidora is safe there for a double!

<[3][1]: 40. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
King Ghidorah on second.

--------

Mimic on third. Selkie on second.
If the Shape-shifters home run they win.


And Death does it! As Maleficent throws the ball Death hits it with its bony hand and sends it flying directly into the tornado.

Mimic scores!

Selkie scores!

However, Rhatalos has gotten inside the tornado and finds and grabs the ball, when he comes back into the field he sees Death had made it to second and starts running to third, but Death quickly goes back to second base and doesn't risk it. Still no outs for any team!

<[3][1]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Mimic scored. Selkie scored. Death on second.

--------

The Shape-shifters 2 - The Dragons 2

King Ghidorah on second.


Charizard swings his wings desperately, he swings his tail, he shoots a fire blast from his mouth, but all in vain, Kitsune doesn't allow him to hit the ball in any of the three attempts for a strikeout, the first out of the game!

<[1][2]: 2>1. Strikeout.>
Charizard out.

--------

Death on second.
If the Shape-shifters score they win.


Death starts moving to third to attempt to steal it, but Maleficent glances to her right and throws the ball to second, with no escape Death tries to make it to third, but Alduin throws the ball faster than Death can run, and Smaug at third tags it for an out.

And now, Remus Lupin attacks the ball with a magic attack as Maleficent throws it, creating powerful winds that trap the ball and sends it deep into the tornado! King Ghidora enters the tornado to look for it, but Lupin is already on first and transforms into a werewolf to run faster!

After reaching second he enchants his feet to go to blazing speed to third base, and King Ghidorah appears with the ball and throws it at full speed to home but Lupin dives into it for the home run that decides the game in favor of the Shape-shifters!

<[1][2] 6=6: All players on bases are out, batter score.>
Remus Lupin scores.

--------

King Ghidorah on second.


"That's the game! Congrats to the Shape-Shifters! This game featured some serious batting, with only 2 outs on the entire game!"

...

"Hey! Game's over! You can now talk as much as you want!"

"Waaah! After our first two runs I thought we had the game! How hard could it have been to lose that one? Guess I know how now!"

"Gotta admit you scared me there! But all is well thanks to Lupin's awesome home run!"

"You're welcome."

"Yes! How did you know? We're at Giant Muffin Stadium, which is... a giant muffin!... Oh there seems to be some confusion with My Name is Immaterial and The Hags, he wants to send Nana as pitcher, but Nana is still two tired after pitching the game of a few hours ago, so he's sending the last available pitcher in his batter order, which is Peg."

The Greedy Gobbos (Playergamer) Vs. The Hags (My Name is Immaterial) - Game 2

Pitcher - Batter


It's a weird occurrence, there's nobody either at the mount or the plate, when suddenly, Rift teleports in and throws the ball, and Grindylow jumps from inside the muffin and hits the ball with his tail! The ball is sent to center field where Green almost catches it, but not quite! When he grabs the ball he finds out Grindylow is on second for a double!

"...his tail?? I'm a lady!"

"Oh, excuse me! It was hard to tell... for me!"

<[1][1]: 4<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two>
Gryndylow on second.

--------



Gobbo goes to the plate to see no pitcher is facing him, then a ball comes from the... underbread! It goes past him for a strike. And another. And another! Peg is on fire!

<[1][1]: 2>0. Strikeout.>
Gobbo out.

--------

Grindylow on second.


Rift throws the ball which starts spinning around in circles, but then Jenny... ew! She spits her green saliva on the ball for a hit, Rift grabs the ball from the ground but its sticky and he has trouble throwing it, allowing Grindylow to reach third and Jenny first for a single!

<[2][1]: 2<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>
Grindylow on third. Jenny on first.

--------

1 out.



The ball comes out of nowhere but Bones is ready and hits it to the left line past Lachesis go then grabs it but can't stop Bones from getting to first!

<[2][1]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Bones on first.

--------

Grindylow on third. Jenny on first.


Grindylow starts running to third, and Jenny to second, as Rift throws the ball and Mara attempts to bunt it, but misses! Gil catches the ball and tags Grindylow for an out as she was arriving home, and then throws the ball to Bones on second to get Jenny out before she arrived!

This makes Mara every angry! She starts creating the most horrifying illusory nightmares that a Gobbo can imagine, including losing all their wealth and magic, causing Rift to throw a terrible ball that Mara hits completely out of the muffin for a home run!

<[3][1]: 6=6. All players on bases are out, batter score.>
Grindylow out. Jenny out. Mara scored.

--------

The Greedy Gobbos 0 - The Hags 1

Bones on first.
1 out.



"So, um, are you single? Or something? Maybe we can get into the date after this game. All the Gobbo girls have rejected me, so I should try my luck with a Hag."

"Sure, if you manage a hit I'm all yours!"

"Alright!"

Peg looked behind her to see that Bones had stolen second base!

<[3][1]: 0<1. player on highest base steals a base and batter tries again. Another batter winning with a 1 becomes a walk.>
Bones on second.

1 out


And to Peg's surprise Oid does hit the ball and it's goes flying to the outfield, where Jenny fails to catch it! Bones makes it to third and Oid to first as Jenny bites the ball and sends it to second, Bones scores! But the ball reaches second first getting Oid out for a sacrifice fly!

"So, I know this restaurant where..."

"It doesn't count as a hit if you're out!"

"Do'h!"

<[1][2]: 2=2. Batter out, rest of players advance 2 bases>
Bones scores. Oid out.

--------

The Greedy Gobbos 1 - The Hags 1

2 outs.


Rift throws the ball to his right, and it makes a sudden turn towards Clotho, who hits it to the right line but the ball makes another sudden turn back into Rift's hands for the third out of the Hags, now the Gobbos can attempt to score until getting three outs!

<[1][2]: 4>5. Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Clotho out. 3rd out. End of the top of the inning.

--------

2 outs.


The ball was thrown very slowly which took Gil by surprise, he hit it to Clotho at short stop but she failed to catch it and this error cost the Hags a base!

<[2][2]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Gil on first.

If the Gobbos home run they win.



Ib took his telescope and pointed it to the outside of the Stadium. Peg knew about Ib's magic tricks and didn't want to risk it out, so she hit him with the ball allowing a free base.

<[3][2]: 0<2. Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Gil on second. Ib on first.

If the Gobbos score twice they win.



Peg throws the ball and then Green throws against it his Goblin Glider! Which traps the ball and skyrockets into the sky to the surprise of the hags! Gil makes it to third and ib to second as Grindylow jumps into the Goblin Glider and tries to get the ball out of it, but it's stuck!

Gil scores! Ib and Green advance a base when she finally gets the ball and throws it to home, but Ib throws his telescope to the ball to intercept it and reach home first! Atropos on second catches the ball, and glares at Green on third who doesn't dare to move, but that's not ncessary, the Greedy Gobbos have already won!

<[1][3]: 2<5. Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Gil scored. Ib scored. Green on third.

"Nooo! We won 3-1? Where's the humiliation? At this rate we're going to beat them 3-2 next time!"

The Dragons Vs. The Shape-shifters (xelada) - Game 2
Pitcher - Batter



Fing uses his psychic powers to know how Grace is going to bat and then sens the ball in a way in which she hits it back into his hands for an out!

<[1][1]: 6>3. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Grace out.

--------

-

: "Are ya'll ready for this?"

Selkie transforms into a dragon bigger than Maleficent to try to scare her, but it doesn't work, Maleficent eats the ball and then starts to run from one base to the next for a inside-the-stomach home run!

"Yes, I was ready!"

<[1][1]: 4<6.>
Batter and everyone on bases score.
Maleficent scored.

--------

The Dragons 1 - The Shape-shifters 0

1 out.


Before he knows it, Fing has thrown the ball to get the first strike out of Ditto. Ditto transforms into Metapod and uses Harden as much as he can, but it has no effect as the ball goes past him! Finally, he transforms into Kangaskhan and uses Substitute! Ditto is replaced by a small looking Pokémon substiture toy, but Fing just proceeds to strike him out.

<[2][1]: 2>0. Strikeout>
Ditto out.

--------



It's not a good day for Selkie! It throws the ball and Smaug sends a big ball of fire that connects with the ball and sends it flying to the other end of the Gigantic Bone! Ditto transforms into Magikarp and starts Splashing around as Smau reaches first and second! A player that looks just like Smaug has to go for the ball and then Doppelgänger thows it to three by Smaug is there already for a triple!

<[2][1]: 2<5. Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Smaug on third.

--------

2 outs.


And identical looking Fing Fan Foom stepped into the plate, but the dragons were ready, Ridley the catcher pulled out a herbal leaf from China, and this put Doppelgänger fast asleep enough time for Fing Fan Foom to strike him out! Ridley the put the leaf away as it was making Fing sleepy too. This was the third out, now the Dragons can try to score until getting three outs!

<[3][1]: 0>6. batter is out.>
Doppelgänger out. 3rd out. End of the bottom of the inning.

--------

Smaug on third.
If the Dragons score twice they win.


Smaug doesn't have the patience for this, he starts running towards home as Selkie throws the ball! Alduin swings and missed, but then, Mimic, the catcher, fails to catch the ball allowing Smaug to touch the plate to steal home!

<[3][1]: 3<1. player on highest base steals a base and batter tries again. Another batter winning with a 1 becomes a walk.>

Smaug scored.

The Dragons 2 - The Shape-shifters 0



Selkie then threw the ball two more times, none in which Alduin could make contact.

<[1][2]: 4>5. Batter and the player on highest base are out.>

Alduin out.

1 out.


Selkie had gotten angry, changing its blue to a fiery yellow, it threw the ball that Ridley hits with his tail, but then Selkie transforms into a dragon and flies to catch it for an out.

<[2][2]: 2=2. Batter out, rest of players advance 2 bases.>

Ridley out.

2 outs.



Rathalos sent deathly flames but Selkie responded by sending a huge hydropumped powered ball. The clash counted as a hit and then the ball popped up into Selkie hands. This was the third out, and end of the bottom of the inning.

<[3][2]: 3<1. batter is out.>
Rathalos out. Third out. Change.

--------

The Dragons 2 - The Shape-shifters 0

Skin shifter transforms his hand into a bear claw but Find reads what movements he's going to do.

"Mushu! Look out!"

As he throws the ball, Skin-shifter hits it deep into center field, where Mushu is ready and catches it for an out!

<[3][2]: 0>5. batter is out.>
Skin-shifter out.

--------

If the Dragons score they win.


"Hey, chill out! Why so serious?"

Selkie didn't answer, instead it just sent a very fast ball that took Mushu by surprise, and he hit it directly into the hands of Skin-shifter in center field for an out!

<[1][3]: 4>5. Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Mushu out.

--------

1 out.


Fing makes a signal to Maleficent on third base and then throws a curve ball, Mimic hits it to the left line where Maleficent catches it for an out!

<[1][3]: 6>4. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Mimic out.

--------

1 out.
If the Dragons score they win.


Bad coordination by King Ghidora, as one of his heads hits the ball to another head that hits it back into the hands of Mimic, the catcher, for another out!

<[2][3]: 2=2. Batter out, rest of players advance 2 bases>
King Ghidora out.

--------

2 outs.


Lupin uses his magic to block Fing's telepathic powers, and then hit the ball into the gap! Turns into a werewolf and quickly runs to first and then to second, and Mushu finally grabs the ball and stops Lupin's run at third, but he's safe!

<[2][3]: 2<5. Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Lupin on third.

--------

2 outs.
If the Dragons score they win.

<[3][3]: 31. batter is out.>
Charizard out. 3rd out. End of the top of the inning.

--------

Lupin on third.
2 outs.


Lupin turns into a werewolf, and starts to run home, as Kitsune turns into a human, and hits the ball to the right field, very far away from home allowing Lupin to score! King Ghidorah grabs the ball from the ground an throws it to first, but Kitsune deflects it by transforming back into a fox to reach first safely!

<[3][3]: 0>4. If there's exactly one batter on the bases, it moves 2 bases, and batter goes to first.>

Lupin scored. Kitsune on first.

The Dragons 2 - The Shape-shifters 1

If The Shape Shifters score twice they win.



Kitsune takes its chances and starts running towards seconds to steal it, and everything ends fatally as Fing throw the ball there to get it out for the third out of the Shape Shifters.

<[1][1]: All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Kitsune out. 3 out. End of the bottom of the inning.

--------

The Dragons 2 - The Shape-shifters 1
Third inning.

If the Dragons score they win.



All that was left was for the pitchers to face each other. Fing Fan Foom just read the mind of all the Shape-shifters, of Selkie to know how it was going to throw the ball, and of all the fielders, and found a weak spot on their reasoning, then he hit the ball into the Right field which took Grace by surprise and she couln't grab the ball, which fell on the boneground and bounced really high only to then fall from the edge of the stadium! Fing smiled and took his time to run the rest of the bases, as he knew the Dragons had won!

<[1][1]: 4<6. Batter and everyone on bases score.>
Fing Fan Foom scores.

--------



"Aw! Sorry guys, I did my best! I'm very ashamed about those 2 home runs that I allowed, I promise to do better next time!"

"If you're allowed to pitch ever again, that is!"

$90 on us, again.
If dragons do end up exiting but somehow beat us (as unlikely as that is) will we both be out or just the oversized lizards?

[Vytron]

Both would be out (The Dragons because of lack of manager, the The Shape-shifters because of their 2 negative points after losing to the Hags and the Dragons.)

"Did... Did xelada call us oversized lizards???"

"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!"

"Yeah, I'm totally not oversized for a lizard. Wait! I take that back! For a Dragon! For a Dragon!"

[xelada]

You're right I apologize, lizards don't tend to scare away their managers.

[Vytron]

"This is it guys! Our farewell game! Let's go out with a blast!"

"Yes, the blast is going to send you into oblivion!"

"WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE! SO GET READY! WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN WITH US!"

The Dragons - Final Game Vs. The Shape-shifters (xelada)

Pitcher - Batter



Alduin made a long and taunting speech, unfortunately, it was spoken in some forgotten dragon tongue, so nobody got what he said, and Grace just limited herself to made a solid hit to the ground that nobody could get to first before her.

"You, bad breath!"

<[1][1]: 1>3. batter to first.>
Grace to first.

--------




In a flash of energy, Lupin was suddenly there, with his wand ready to pitch. Threw the ball, apparently, Ridley thought he had made the hit of his life, but the ball vanishes as the illusion it was, while Lupin was throwing the real ball, but made invisible, Ridley still hit it but his doppelgänger caught it in mid air for an out!

: "WHAT THE beep WAS THAT??"

: "Magic."

<[1][1]: 3>4. Batter and the player on lowest base are out.>
Ridley out.

--------

Grace on first.


Alduin got Kitsune in the middle of its transformation into human causing a terrible hit that bounced on the ground to Smaug at Short Stop who passed it to Charizard on second base before Grace could make it there and then threw it to King Ghidorah on first before Kitsune could make it there for a double play!

<[2][1]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Grace out. Kitsune out.

--------

1 out.


Lupin enchanted the ball but no matter what it was, Fing could use his telepathic powers to read exactly what the magic did and its effects precisely, so when it came to it Fing made a perfect hit. Lupin got into a flying broomstick but then realized it was over, his own magic was making the ball unreachable and there was nothing to do about it!

<[2][1]: 6=6. All players on bases are out, batter score>
Fing Fan Foom scored.

--------

The Shape-shifters 0 - The Dragons 1

2 outs.


Selkie transforms into a stream of water and hits the ball with itself, the ball flies to center field where it slips off Mushu's hands and this error costs the Dragons an extra base for a double!

<[3][1]: 4=4. All players on bases are out, batter to second>
Selkie on second.

--------

1 out.


A great battle of magic took place on the middle of the diamond, with the ball going crazy as Maleficent tried to make it go outside the field while Lupin tried to make any fielder catch the ball. Maleficent used her fire to push the ball into the ground, winning the fight, but only for a base.

"You just can't beat Disney Magic!"

 

<[3][1]: 5>6: All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Maleficent to first.

--------

Selkie on second.
2 outs.


Mimic goes to the plate with his true form, which... is very disgusting, even for Alduin, which is taken off balance, and throws a ball that seems to be a pop out, but Selkie on its way to second shoots a stream of water that sends the ball flying out of the field! Rathalos and Maleficent collide with each other on their way to catch it and before they know it, Selkie and Mimic have scored a come back home run!

<[1][2]: 1<6. Batter and everyone on bases score.>
Selkie scored. Mimic scored.

--------

The Shape-shifters 2 - The Dragons 1

One out.
Maleficent on first.


Rathalos came to the plate and stated attacking Lupin with fireballs! Lupin  had to jump out of the way and he looked around to see that Maleficent had stolen second base!

<[1][2]: 3<1. player on highest base steals a base and batter tries again. Another batter winning with a 1 becomes a walk.>

Maleficent on second.



Rathalos starts shooting more fireballs, but Lupin smirks and throws the ball to the flames counting as a hit, and bouncing to Ditto transformed on Jynx on third getting Maleficent out as she was trying to steal third, and shooting an Ice beam that sent the ball to Death on first which got Rathalos out before he could arrive for a double play! This was the third out and end of the top of the inning.

<[2][2]: 6>1. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Maleficent out. Rathalos out. 3 outs. The Shapeshifters can attempt to score until getting three outs.

--------

If the Shapeshifters score they win.
2 outs


As Alduin throws the ball Skinshifter transforms his hand into a bear claw and makes and awesome hit to the outfield, then transforms into an eagle and with superb speed reaches first and second, Mushu is very confused and doesn't know where to throw the ball. He throws it home and just in time as Skinshifter was running there but goes back to third for a triple!

<[2][2]: 5=5. All players on bases are out, batter to third.>

Skinshifter on third.



Alduin's doppelgänger threw a dragon breath, which was counter attacked by one from the original, and this was all while Skinshifter had transformed into a hawk and was flying home, but Alduin threw the ball to Ridley, the catcher, and Skinshifter's attempt to dive to home failed completely! This was the third out and end of the bottom of the inning.

<[3][2]: 4=4. All players on bases are out, batter to second>
Skinshifter out. 3rd out.

To be continued...

And, when we are back:

The Shape-shifters 2 - The Dragons 1
Second Inning

"WHAT? DON'T YOU DARE LAZY BUM TO SEND THIS MESSAGE AND CALL IT A DAY! THIS GAME ENDS TODAY!"

"But, I..."

"TODAY!!!"

"Aw, geez..."

--------



"Okay, let's work with some dragon magic here!"

Lupin transforms into a werewolf and throw the ball with great strength only to find out that Mushu makes contact and starts to run the bases like there's no tommorrow--

"BECAUSE there's no tomorrow for the dragons!"

Skinshifter grabs the ball from the ground and throws it as fast as he can back into the field but there's no stopping Mushu from getting to second!

<[3][2]: 5<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Mushu on second.

--------

If the Shape-shifters score they win.



Alduin changed its attitude as Death comes to the plate, now looking like a scared puppy instead of a dragon, he throws a curve ball that Death has no problem sending to center field. Just like Mushu before it Death also hit a double!

<[3][3]: 4=4. All players on bases are out, batter to second>
Death on second.

--------

Muchu on second.


Mushu dresses like a ninja and then starts sneaking to steal third base without making any sound, but he was still visible and Lupin glanced to his right and quickly sees him there and throws the ball to get him out.

Then Lupin throws three balls, one for each head, 2 of them fail but the third one makes a hit to the short stop, which grabs the ball and throws it to first but King Ghidorah reaches it first for a single!

<[3][3]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Mushu out, King Ghidorah on first.

--------

Death on second.
If the Shape-shifters score they win.


And just like Mushu Death also attempts to steal first, and just like Mushu the pitcher catches it stealing and gets it out!

<[1][1]: 1>0. player in lowest base is out and batter tries again. Another pitcher winning with a 1 becomes an out.>
Death out.

1 out.



Ditto now transforms into Jolteon, makes a great hit into the left field and then shows off its speed by running the first two bases before the dragons can react!

<[2][1]: 5<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Ditto on second.

--------

King Ghidorah on first.
1 out.


Charizard swings his tail and hits the ball to Grace on second base who grabs the ball after it bounces on the ground to get King Ghidorah out before he arrives, and throws it to first before Charizard gets there for a double play! This is the third out and end of the top of the inning.

<[2][1]: 6>3. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
King Ghidorah out. Charizard out. 3rd out. The Shape-shifters can attempt to score until getting 3 outs.

--------

Ditto on second.
1 out.
If the Shapeshifters score they win.


Lupin had ran out of magic and just came with a perfectly normal bat to the plate, and showed he wasn't all magic and also had skills, making a great hit deep into the left field allowing Ditto to run a base while Lupin reached first for a single. Ditto didn't have the courage to try to score!

<[3][1]: 4<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>

Ditto on third. Lupin on first.



With the positions so critical in the bases the Dragons brought up a fresh pitcher. Smaug took the mound as Grace came to the plate. But Grace wasn't there for long, she quickly transformed into an Omega, Smaug threw a fire powered ball but Omega slashed the ball as Ditto transformed into a Scizor which quickly ran into home for the winning run of the game!

<[1][2]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Ditto scored. Lupin on third. Grace on second.

"NOOOOO! IT CAN'T BE OVER, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS IT!!!

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
