Shattering Humanity-Chapter 306: A Good Bonding Moment: On The Diamond
"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." -Hebrews 12:11
_____________________________
Everyone files into the garage and looks over at the immaculate combination of both spiritual and military artistry.
The once sand colored army tanker that was inside the padded training room within Sanpaku is now painted to look like a smiling elephant.
The cannon to the beast of machinery is perfectly shaded to resemble the trunk of an actual beast of nature.
Smiling Daisuki puts a hand on blushing Aiden’s shoulder while admiring the philosophical artwork he’s already had time to take in.
...
Shelly: "Well, I was thinking about how my Mom had sacrificed herself for me, and how your own parents jumped in front of an Iceman to save me.
Yea, parents can sacrifice everything for their children and they can become disrespectful shit heads..."
She turns her head to look over at Laban.
Shelly: "...And there are shit head kids who are jealous because they have shit head parents."
Laban gives the Valkyrie descendant a middle finger as she continues.
Shelly: "But not me.
I was lucky enough to have multiple sets of parents sacrifice everything for my happiness and success..."
She looks Katsu in the eyes and the captain smiles, making her blush.
Shelly: "...And that’s why I train everyday, so I won’t let that sacrifice go to waste."
Katsu: "Haha, and that’s why you ARE the greatest Shelly!
Haha!"
Katsu(thinking): *And that is why I do this all for you...*
...
[Tomodachi Town Fire Station]
SeiõrSnow continues to fall around the world.
From the same wall that the crew had fast traveled from, one of Daisuki’s portals is open again.
Seen on the other side is the inside of the Head Hancho’s office.
Standing alone together, Daisuki with his IceEye at 2nd Stage, a yellow aura, and Scylia look at each other.
Daisuki: "You must be happy seeing your little brother so giddy to see that girl of his.
Must be tough handing him over."
Scylia smiles and blushes while she playfully pushes his shoulder.
Scylia: "My mother warned me that it would happen one day.
As long as I’m still the most important woman in his life..."
She gives him a kiss on his forehead and Daisuki moves towards the hole he’s created with his eye ability.
Daisuki: "I gotta head back and try finding any available men or women willing to help move the fallen wall."
Scylia: "I’ll come with you."
Daisuki holds a hand out and shakes his head is rejection.
Daisuki: "No need. You should hang out with the kids more."
He chuckles and looks back at his wife to be, and the portal hole slowly begins to shrink.
Daisuki: "Katsu’s excited about the field he found in the back of the station.
Knowing him, it’s going to be a good bonding moment for everyone who is present.
Trust me, if it wasn’t for the wall being down, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere more.
So why do you enjoy it for me, okay?"
The blushing, beautiful woman beams a large smile and nods in acceptance to the recommendation.
The Takamagahara main leader hops through into his office and looks back at Scylia while deactivating the symbiote to it’s base-kit.
Daisuki: "I entrust you to help me guide and mentor those lives that I’ve sworn to protect.
I can’t always be there, so I need to be my co-captain."
Scylia: "I promise.
You have my word."
The charming man kisses his pointer and middle finger on his tattooed hand and holds it out to her as the portal shrinks into a pinhole.
Left alone in the late afternoon SeiõrSnow atmosphere, Scylia is smiling at the lightly coated white, brown, and green ground.
It isn’t until...
Katsu: "Big Sis!!!!!"
Scylia perks up and spins around to see Katsu standing next to the bricked building’s corner.
Katsu: "Big Sis, I need you for my team again!"
The red haired woman chuckles and struts over to the enthusiastic Izanagi Captain.
Scylia: "Hopefully I don’t disappoint you like the last time you had competitive faith in me."
Katsu tilts his head in confusion and scratches his hair.
Katsu: "What are you talking about?
You’ve never disappointed me!"
The taller woman tussles his hair as she passes by him.
Scylia: "You truly are righteous of the title of ’Captain’.
But I must warn you..."
She turns the corner and behind the fire station is an entire baseball field.
Small sets of bleachers on the side behind dugouts for players.
The distance between home plate and the shoulder height yellow walls is 400ft(~122m).
The only damage to the field is the wall in left field has been damaged due to an Iceman meteor 3 years prior.
Scylia: "...I’ve never played baseball, but I know how to play...sort of."
In the outfield, Dom, Jormungand(w/ a 2nd Stage IceEye, yellow aura), and Drakania, are tossing a baseball around.
Each one has a baseball glove on their left hand, except Jormy.
Using his ability, he has changed the matter of his Iceman arm into leather.
His over protective older sister *YIPS!* as he catches the small white, red stitched ball with his abnormal alien limb.
Drakania: "Be careful Jormy!
You don’t have anything protecting your face."
The athletic younger brother turns to his participating unathletic sister and shows her a practice underhand throw.
Jormungand: "It’s okay Sis!
Are you ready?"
The nervous girl raises up the over sized glove.
Jormy: "Okay Drakania, don’t take your eye off the ball, okay?"
She nods and the larger but younger sibling softly underhand tosses the baseball towards her.
She flinches at the lob before it hits the palm of her glove and pops out falling to the ground.
She looks down at it and picks it up.
Not knowing the proper way to throw the ball, she tosses it back with a pushing throw with her left hand.
It doesn’t have any velocity and it isn’t accurate, but Jormy’s 2nd Stage quick twitch allows him catch the ball before it touches the ground.
He looks back at her and he gets in tossing stance to prepare her.
Smiling she nods at him and from a few yards away, Jormy underhand tosses the baseball back at his sister.
This time with confidence, she doesn’t take her gorgeous orange eyes off of it.
Just before she has the chance to catch it, Dom dives in front of her and steals the throw.
Dom: "And it’s robbed!"
The gold hearted Jormungand smiles while an angry Drakania is ticked off and spikes her glove at the moment ruining goofball.
Katsu walks up behind Scylia and chuckles while the two of them look at the scene in the outfield.
Katsu: "I think I’ll call it, ’Faithful Friends Field’.
I haven’t run it by everyone else yet but-"
Scylia: "It’s poetic."
Katsu looks at her surprised by her thumbs up.
Scylia: "You have my vote."
On the bleachers, Sol, and a hot dog eating TayTay are watching as well
Moving their gaze to the infield, Itsuka is playing shortstop while Laban plays first base.
The hardcore smoking first basewoman throws her fist into the palm of the glove.
Laban DaeMon: "Alright, look alive!
Plays at first.
Try not to overthrow me this time, Amazonian."
Itsuka: "Shut up!"
Shelly, standing at home plate, tosses a ball up, swings the bat in her hands and the wooden "stick" makes contact.
The ball skips across the dirt of the infield, right towards Itsuka.
The tall, light skinned young woman plays the hit cleanly, the ball rolls into the leather of Itsuka’s glove and her right hand reaches in for the transfer.
She takes a step with her left foot, from her right hand the baseball flies out and sails directly towards Laban’s face, as the love rival is covering first base.
The DaeMon uses her special first base glove to catch the bullet of a throw, dirt flies from the laces of the basket to the weaved leather glove. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Shelly: "Good throw Itsuka!"
Blushing Itsuka raises her glove in thanks.
Laban DaeMon: "Aye Skalmönd, bet you three laps around the complex you can’t hit the ball yard."
Laban tosses the ball back in to the hitter and snickers while she does.
Matching the snicker, Shelly doesn’t prepare to catch the tossed in ball.
Lifting her left foot up, she drives the foot forward and down, swiveling her hips, Shelly swings the bat around.
The bat audibly cuts the air, it is heard from the outfield, and the *CRACK* of the ball connecting with wood shocks everyone.
The ball flies off Shelly’s swing and without a single doubt off the bat, the baseball sails over the fence.
Both Shelly and Itsuka smirk over at the first baseman with raised eyebrows.
Laban spikes her glove to the dirt and looks over at the athletic blonde standing at home plate.
Laban DaeMon: "Fuck you Skalmönd!"
She takes off to run her complex laps.
