"What did just happen?"

"Did he just put a bet of $1000 on us?"

"Looks like we got a fan!"

"As if it wasn't enough pressure, now someone could lose big bucks if I perform poorly!"

"Really? Do you have any doubt that we're going to sweep the floor with the Makuta? Vytron, do you? How much money can you bet on us anyway?"

"Huh, if I ask for $1000 to the mafia I could bet... up to $2753.75."

"Great! Max it out! We'll take care of winning!"

"I... um... er. Yeah, I'm a coward that wouldn't dare to risk being in debt for $1000 with the Mafia..."

"Ha! The mafia, I am SOO scared!"

"..."

"So you're not doing it, huh? Well, tomorrow you'll have great joy and great sadness. Joy because we'll win, and sadness that you didn't win $1500, for being a coward, enjoy your small wins!"

KJ released a statement earlier...

"Not saying I'm related to the mafia... but there is a reason all my cousins speak Italian. Capech?"

Wow, here was me worried that picking death would bite me in the ass, but it turns out the personification of the countless ways your life can end makes a good pitcher, who knew?
Also when announcing the next whatever, could you include the current bets, if the betting is still open? It's easy to forget who you've put bets on and I'd hate to miss out a bet thinking I'd already made it, or doubling up on a bet for that matter...

Oh, posting ongoing bets! Gotcha! What I do is betting anyway, since the odds get recalculated, you never have redundant bets.

"The mafia? Who are these people anyway, and why should I care? Do they play baseball? Then, bring them on! I will kick their asses! ... No, wait, never mind, currently busy kicking someone else's asses, the mafia will have to wait for now! And what's up with this black text? Makes me sound kind of robotic, could you please-- Okay, thanks! Bring them on!"

This time we're moving to the Lunar Planet, where gravity is so low that everything is huge. You've seen King Ghidorah on his full size? Well, he'd look like a fly around there.

Welcome to Wagon Stadium, which is an Stadium in one of the wagons of a moving gigantic train, this time nobody will be able to leave it to get the ball if it leaves it, because the train moves at light speed, once you leave this stadium, there's no coming back to it!

The Makuta were impatiently waiting for the Baddass Girls to arrive. Or they were waiting patiently, it's hard to say.

"Oh, we don't get tired physically, but we do get tired of waiting."

Ah. Well, no need to wait anymore, the Badass Girls are ready, the Makuta are ready, darkpaladin109 is ready. Everyone except for... Vytron...

"Hold on, there's still time to bet $1000 on my team. Still considering it, would hate to make all my hard work go into KJ's bags. But would be fun if I lost teaching him a lesson about outrageous bets..."

"Bet $1000 for the Makuta!"

"...Say what?"

"Yes! This way either you win the game or you win lots of money, it's win or win, and you become rich or go into winning streaks!"

"Um, that makes sense, I guess I'll--"

It's play ball!

Money bet on this game:
$250 - Vytron (match against darkpaladin109) (2:3 - Bonus bet)
$314 - Vytron - Vytron (7:13 - Bonus bet)
$314 - Vytron - Vytron's Match (7:13 - Bonus bet)
$1000 - kj1225 - BAG 7:13

"Agh, too late!"

The Makuta (darkpaladin109) Vs. Badass Girls (Vytron)

"Your hard work? Don't make me laugh, I think Amy could make better management decisions than you!"

"Please don't drag me into this, I just play for the love of the game."

"Vytron and 18 should get a room or something, I hadn't appreciated Vamprah's silence until now!"

Pitcher - Batter



"Prepare to be absolutely obliterated! I don't plan to give a single base in the entire game!"

But as easy as Teridax threw the ball, Marisol hit it out of the Stadium for a home run!

  :o

"Sorry for ruining your plans  ;)"

<[1][1]: 6=6. All players on bases are out, batter score.>
Marisol scored.

--------

The Makuta 0 - Badass Girls 1



Amy threw the ball and Vamprah hit it into the right line, where 18 was able to fly and catch it for an out.

<[1][1]: 1=1. Batter out, rest of players advance 3 bases.>
Vamprah out.

--------



Rin sang into her microphone, and actual, physical notes appeared out of it. The ball hit one and was sent at the speed of sound to center field, Bitil didn't even move to catch the ball, as Rin reached first base, a past copy of Bitil revealed he had grabbed the ball and thrown it to second, but Rin was still faster.

<[2][1]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Rin to second.

--------

1 out.


Bitil reached the plate and then flinched and fell to the ground. He got up and went to first. As Amy threw the ball, Bitil's copy of his past self appeared and was hit by the ball, earning him a free base.

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

--------

Rin on second.
If the Badass Girls home run they win.


"Give me your best shot!"

And Teridax did, he used all his strength to throw the ball with great speed, and then, 18 raised her chi and looked as if she had gone super saiyan! creating a big energy blast that hit the ball out of the train, shattering the hopes and dreams of The Makuta as this home run allowed Rin and 18 to score the winning runs of the game!

<[3][1]: 4<6. Batter and everyone on bases score.>
Rin scored. 18 scored.

OM NOM NOM  "Thanks! Since I was turned into a human I need plenty of food to keep my infinite energy for the games. I'll have to say that I will always respect someone that has the courage to bet like that, unlike other people... But, I will be as merciless against your team as I was against The Makuta and The Elementals when we face each other! If you qualify with your The Anyhows team or whatever you're called."

"And we're back with the conclusion of The Shape Shifters Vs. The Hags!"
The Shape Shifters 1 - The Hags 0
Third inning.


Pitcher - Batter



This time Death was taken by surprise as a pair of arms came out of the jelly beneath it, it was Nellie LongArms! This resulted in an easy ball that Jenny bites and sends it flying towards the right field. Skin-shifter transformed his hand into a bear claw to try to catch the ball but Jenny's saliva was too slippy and this allowed her to reach second for a double!

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

--------

My Name is Immaterial asked Jenny if she was ready for pitching, but she told him she wasn't quite recovered enough. Remember than on our dimension weeks happened, while on the tournament, all the games have happened in a single day!

So he told Nellie Longarms to go up to the mound to relieve Nana Yaga which was already gasping for a break.


"GET OFF MY LAWN!"

...excuse me?

"Erm, nevermind!"



Nellie never quite let go off the ball. Who knows what was her plan, but she ended up hitting Kit with the ball with her really long arm that went from the mound to the plate. This allowed the fox a free base.

"My name is 'Kitsune', not 'Kit' or 'the fox'"

Oh, sorry Kitsune!

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

--------

Jenny on second.


Nana came to the plate with a broom, sweeping the floor with it.

"THAT'S WHAT BROOMS ARE FOR! NOT... FLYING!"

She made a great hit to left field and ran to first, as it seemed an easy catch for Lupin, so Jenny didn't move, but suddenly a big gummy worm came out of the candyground, and Lupin lost track of the ball. When he threw it finally into the field Jenny had made it to third while Nana was on second.

After this, Death threw a pokéball into the candyground and Ditto came up from it, ready to continue pitching.


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

--------

Kitsune on first.
If the Shape-shifters score twice they win.


Nellie extended her right arm to center field to give strength to the ball and then threw it, the ball bounced on the candyground and went to Mara's hand at short stop, who quickly threw it to Peg on second before Kitsune arrived, and Peg threw it to Grindylow on first, but Mimic made it there before the ball arrived.

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

--------

Jenny on third. Nana on second.


Ditto transforms into the most adorable Pikachu I've

"ever seen! Aww! Just look at it!... Wait, what? Oh..."

This transformation didn't help much, Clotho didn't have any trouble hitting the ball to the right field, where Skin-Shifter grabbed it and threw it to first but Clotho had made it there, Nana made it to third, and Jenny scored a run for a single that tied the game!

<[2][1]: 4<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>
Jenny scored. Nana on third. Clotho on first.

--------

The Shape Shifters 1 - The Hags 1

Mimic on first.
1 out.
If the Shape-shifters score twice they win.


Selkie made its tail really hard to welcome the ball and sent it deep into center field! Atropos had a series of threads ready to catch it, but they failed and she just tangled herself with them! When she threw the ball back into the field she noticed Mimic was already of third and Selkie on second for a double!

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

--------

Nana on third. Clotho on first.



And then, what happened was amazing! Ditto transformed into a giant Electrode, and exploded! This sent the ball with great speed and hit Atropos's scissors for a hit, but Nana, Clotho and Atropos were knocked out by the explosion! So all the shape-shifters needed to do was tag them with the ball for a triple play! Nana, Clotho and Atropos are out, this is a sudden ending to the top of the inning!

<[3][1]: 61. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Nana out. Clotho out. Atropos out. 3 outs. The Shape-shifters can attempt to score until getting three outs.

--------

Mimic on third. Selkie on first.
1 out.
If the Shape-shifters score twice they win.


The Nellie batting sent her arms towards the Nellie pitching and hit the ball out of them but this wasn't a good idea as the Nellie pitching just extended her arms to catch the ball to get her out.

<[1][2]: 04. batter is out.>
Doppelgänger out.

Mimic on third. Selkie on first.

2 outs.



Mimic starts running towards home as Skin-shifter attempts a suicide squeeze but fails to bunt the ball! Mimic tries to dive into home but Jenny just gets him out at the plate. This was the third out and end of the bottom of the inning!

<[2][2]: 5=5. All players on bases are out, batter to third>
Mimic out. 3rd out. End of the bottom of the inning.

--------

The Shape Shifters 1 - The Hags 1
Fourth inning.



Ditto transformed into a Machamp which threw the ball with great strength, Lachesis did hit the ball but back to Machamp who caught it with his third arm for an out!

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

--------



Grace was very angry and transformed into an angry Omega hitting the ball really hard to center field where Atropos hit the ball with her scissors to first, but Omega had already ran to first and was getting to second, Grindylow threw the ball there but Omega also reached it before the ball for a double!

<[3][2]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Grace on second.

--------

1 out.


Ditto now transformed into Articuno and sent an Ice beam powered ball to Mara, who hit the ball to the left line where Kitsune jumped to catch it for an out.

<[3][2]: 6>1. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Mara out.

--------

Grace on second.
If the Shape-shifters score twice they win.


Grace transformed herself into an Omega again and started running to third, Lupin used his magic wand to hit the ball into the right field as Grace made it to third and then started running aggressively towards home, Lachesisgrabbed the ball and threw it to home to try to stop her but Grace reched it first to score! From first base, Lupin had his thumb up.

<[1][3]: 05. If there's exactly one batter on the bases, it moves 2 bases, and batter goes to first.>
Grace scored. Lupin on first.

--------

The Shape Shifters 2 - The Hags 1

2 outs.



Nana, for the first time, came to the plate with something that looked like a bat, a pestle. She was perched in a large mortar, and as Ditto transformed into a Charmander to throw the ball, Nana hit it really high into center field the ball bounced on some candy and then was grabbed by Grace, who just looked at how Nana was about to make it to second base by just pushing the mortar with the pestle. Grace threw the ball but Nana made it safe first for a double.

<[1][3]: 0=0. Batter moves to 2nd, if there were players on 1st and/or 2nd, they're out.>
Nana on second.

--------

Lupin on first.
If The Shape Shifters score they win.


Death went and showed it wasn't just good at pitching. With a shadow movement, the ball was hit into the gap, Mara went for it a great distance and then threw it back into the field, but Lupin had made it to third, and Death was safe on second for a double!

<[2][3]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Lupin on third. Death on second.

--------

Nana on second.
2 outs.


Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur and then Peg made a solid hit to Left Field, where Lupin created magic energy to pick up the ball and throw it to third, but Nana's mortar was faster. Shortly afterwards, Peg had stolen a base to the surprise of the Shape-shifters, and was now on second.

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

--------

Lupin on third. Death on second.
If The Shape Shifters score they win.


Lupin started to move towards home, and Death started to run to third, as Nellie threw the ball, Ditto transformed into Kangaskhan who hit a groundball easy to grab by the long arms of Nellie, who proceeded to tag Lupin before he reached first and Death before it reached third by just extending her arms around and then attempted to get Kangaskhan out but it was faster!

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

--------

Nana on third, Peg on second.
2 outs.


Ditto transformed into Alakazam, who examined the situation carefully, and decided to just hit Grindylow on the face to make her earn a free base, knowing that if the Shapeshifters managed to score this wouldn't matter.

<[3][3]: 6<2. Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Nana on third, Peg on second, Grindylow on first. Bases loaded.

--------

Nellie had extended her arms enough, and it was time for a new pitcher. Unfortunately, all the hags were tired, but not all the Hags, as Lachesis was happy to take the mound.

Ditto on first.
If The Shape Shifters score they win.
2 outs.


Lachesis throws the ball and Kitsune hits it to the in-field, where it bounces on the candyground and is grabbed by Peg at second before Ditto could reach it. This was the third out and end of the top of the inning.

<[1][1]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Ditto out. 3rd out. The Hags can attempt to score until getting 3 outs.

--------

Nana on third, Peg on second, Grindylow on first.
If the Hags score twice they win.
Bases loaded. 2 outs.



Ditto transformed into Zapdos, and threw an electrifying ball towards Jenny, but she just grabbed the ball with her teeth and didn't seem to mind the electricity at all, she threw the ball to the left field, as Nana and Peg and Grindylow were running like hell. Lupin grabbed the ball and made the ball super-speedy and threw it to home, but nothing quite matched the speed of Nana Yaga and her mortar, scoring a run and tying the game as all the other Hags reached their next base safely for a single!

<[1][1]: 0<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>

Nana scored, Peg on third, Grindylow on second, Jenny on first. Bases loaded.

The Shape Shifters 2 - The Hags 2

If the Hags score they win.

2 outs.



It all depends on Nellie now! Peg starts running towards home, Ditto transforms into Lugia and sends an Aeroblast powered ball, but Nellie hits it very high in the air, and then, instead of running to first, she extends her arms to the air and hits it again, even higher! Grace transforms into Omega and attempts to catch the ball, but it's over! Peg had made it to home, and just for the lulz, Omega threw the ball to home but Grindylow ran to it faster and scored too! The Hags are the first team to break the record of 3 runs in a game!

<[2][1]: 4<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Peg scored. Grindylow scored. Jenny on third. Nellie on second.

The Shape Shifters 2 - The Hags 2
Fifth inning.



"Ha! Did you see that? By the end it looked like swiss cheese, if the game didn't end I'm sure we could have kept scoring over and over!"

"Yes, totally! Though I've got to admit, they put me to sweat there! You never know when Ditto is going to explode and get everyone out!"

"Congrats! We were so close! I still can't believe we didn't make it!"

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.)
