Field Day, Part 1: Home-Run Debut!

Uno Household

A twilight sky glimmered over Sector V Treehouse. Cheren, Aurora, and Chris Uno stood before their house for the first time after the adventure. They entered the home, and everything was the same. Couch… games… TV… no parents…

That is, until they heard a sink running in the kitchen. They rushed in. There was an obese man with grey hair around a bald scalp doing dishes. "Ah, my favorite kids are home!" He turned.

"Grandpa!" The kids chorused, going up for a hug.

"We haven't seen you in years!" Aurora said.

"Oh, yes, sorry about that. There I was, minding my own business, when this shadow took hold of me and molded some kind of clay over my body. I was trapped in darkness, and I could only hear my son's voice."

"So, you were trapped in Dad's Inferius…" Chris deduced.

"Whatever that means." Monty shrugged. "Anyhow, seeing as you three have been orphaned, your grandmother and I have decided to move in. We'll keep this house in shape while you're off saving the universe and whatnot! She went out for groceries a moment ago."

"Uh, hehe. The universe is already saved." Aurora chuckled.

"For how long?" Monty winked. "You should never let your guard down, kids. A kid's job is never done. And that goes double for us adults, whether we're trying to train you or antagonize you. So, until you three are all grown up, my job still isn't done! Speaking of which," he plopped a hand on Cheren's hair, "seems your growth spurt is a tad late."

"Heh heh heh." Cheren flushed. Compared to all his friends, he felt so tiny. They all aged three years, but he had been trapped in a 10-year-old body.

"It's okay, Bro." Aurora patted him. "We'll lift you up in those big crowds."

"Thanks, Aurora. I think I'm gonna lie down." Cheren said as he headed upstairs.

"He's got the right idea." Chris said. "Except the lying down part. If you need me, I'll be playing Wi-Fi with George."

Cheren's room was just as he left it. He took off his Sacred Treasures and clothes and dropped them around the floor. He let himself drop on his bed and faced the slanted ceiling. He heard the mystical sound of Fi leaping out of his sword. "Master, I can feel a troubled aura around you. With the recent knowledge that the recent threat has been eradicated, I am unable to determine a source behind these negative emotions."

"Fi, I've been thinking… maybe it's time to hang up my title as Leader. I lost all the powers that helped me survive in New Galaxia. My bending, my God Tier… now I'm back where I was three years ago. Haven't changed a bit. Meanwhile, look at everyone else." The secret chamber opened on the tree trunk. "We fought the strongest creature in the multiverse." Many pairs of eyes opened in the darkness. "If Kimaya hadn't done that chain thing with her Keyblades, I wouldn't have stood a chance. Do you know if Link was ever. . ."

When he looked over, a mob consisting of Panini, Sheila, Anthony, Dipper, Nagisa, Karin, Bon Clay, and Nebula dove out of the secret chamber. "GYAAAAAHH!" He was crushed by their combined weight.

"CAN'T YA have one victory without going into a depressed monologue about it?!" Panini shouted, standing on his belly.

"Mate, I blew a frickin' candy giant to the sun!" Sheila tugged on his hair. "I didn't go inta no self-reflection. I just said that was awesome and moved on!"

"At least you actually got to see all that first hand!" Dipper reasoned. "I didn't think I was READY for the stupid mission! THERE'S SO MANY COOL THINGS I MISSED!"

You're all probably wondering why we all dog piled on Cheren. Well, Panini told us he likes to look back reflectively on his big battles and hole himself up in his room for a long time. She thought he needed the comfort, so she rounded a bunch of us up for a little surprise party. And there we were-

"Nagisa, you're monologuing again." Cheren said.

"Gup-!" Nagisa clamped his mouth.

"Poooor Cheren," Karin laid over his body, "relied so much on his supernatural powers and now he doesn't have them."

"Who're you to talk, Ghost Girl?" Cheren grunted.

"When I'm on missions, I use only my physical strength! Ghost powers are reserved for special cases!"

"Oh, Cherry Boy, just being in bed with you is a dream come true!" Clay cheered.

"Can everybody just give me some breathing room?!"

"Sure!" Nebula zapped everyone down to ant size as they were scattered around Cheren's bed.

"I… didn't mean like this."

"Um, are you still doing the dog pile?" Miyuki asked, coming out of the tree with some soda and chips. "Uh… guys? Where'd everyone go?"

"The Time Goddess has brought us salvation!!" Miyuki looked down, seeing the tiny gang climbing her striped socks.

"Adventure up Mt. Miyuki!" Sheila cheered.

". . . I . . . don't remember this part of the plan."

"Ha ha ha! This reminds me of a dream I had where a bunch of girls were tiny and climbing me!" Cheren laughed.

"Only YOU would have that dream, boy!" Panini retorted.

"My, my, that skirt's a little too far to jump to." Bon Clay said. "'Guess I'll just head under."

"WILL YOU STOP CLIMBING ON MEEEEEE!" Miyuki frantically shook them all off.

Nebula resized them all as they sat around Cheren's room, eating and drinking. "Guys, I really appreciate this." Cheren said with a smile. "So, does this mean you still want me as leader?"

"Duh!" said Anthony. "What, you think we'd let PANINI be in charge?"

"I would put the girls in charge of everything and turn boys into servants." Panini admitted.

"I'm sure Jinta wouldn't mind." Karin smirked.

"For once, I'm glad Gideon joined our sector." Dipper said with a frown.

"Anyway, Cheren, there's another reason I came here." Nebula said. "In fact, it's good that some of you are here. I have decided to create the first interplanetary Field Day!"

"A Field Day?"

"That's right. And I needed some operatives to help set up. It's going to be a bunch of games that test our combat, bending, and other abilities. It's a good way to relieve our stress and get back into shape without actually fighting enemies!"

"It sounds fun!" Nagisa said. "So, does everyone get to participate?"

"Of course! Whether you're from Earth, GKND, the Negaverse; heck, even non-operative allies can play!"

"All right, then we'll gladly help set up!" Cheren agreed. "When will it be?"

"In two minutes!"

"THAT ISN'T MUCH TIME!"

"Ha ha ha! Just kidding, it's in a week! The Galactic Council also wants to broadcast the event and show everyone what we can do. 'Figure it would be a good way to convince more kids to join."

"I don't mind a little publicity." Karin shrugged.

"Well, gang, here's to a great Field Day!" Cheren raised his soda.

"YEAH!" They touched bottles.

"'ang on a sec'." Sheila said. "Nerehc came with us, too. Where is the bloke?"

Downstairs, Monty entered the kitchen to see Cheren digging through the fridge and tossing stuff out. "Hey old man, don't you keep any Devil's Sauce in this place?" Nerehc asked, disguised like Cheren again, save for sunglasses.

"Oh ho, my boy! You certainly do have an appetite!"

One week later; Planet Aquaria

Fireworks launched into the heavens and burst with color. People from all around the cosmos paid for seats to watch the KND in person. "What is UUUUUP, mother effers!" Nick Klouse announced on a floating chair, his body still bandaged. "Wasn't that Big Bang a beauty? Now that we don't gotta be trapped in no s**ty-ass ship anymore, let's watch our heroes GOOF AROUND in this extremely expensive tournament! Our contestants will compete in a series of games based on their respective skills and earn points for their sector. Only one member per sector may compete in each game. The sector with the MOST points by the end is the winner! All the OTHERS get the DEATH PENALTY."

"Eh, he means a crappy souvenir." Zach Guiles said.

"Who are those two again?" Cheren asked. Francis shrugged.

"Let's meet today's excited operatives! First, from Cleveland, Virginia, considered to be the top dogs of Earth, it's Sector V!" The team of 11 stepped up and waved. Their names were labeled on the big screens: Aurora Uno, Chris Uno, Mason Dimalanta, Haruka Dimalanta, Sheila Frantic, Dillon York, Kirie Beatles, Vanellope von Schweetz, and Artie, Haylee, and Harry Gilligan.

"YOU MIXED OUR NAMES UP!" the Gilligan Triplets shouted.

"From West Virginia, Earth, composing of TWO Firstborn Guardians and one of our esteemed Seven Lights, Sector W!" The 5-kid team of Anthony McKenzie, Fybi Fulbright, Sally and Harvey Harper, and Aranea Fulbright waved.

"Sure, don't bother to mention the useless duo." Aranea remarked, earning a frown from Sally.

"From Iceland, this team of six can be frosty and punctual, with a bit of stealth, it's Sector IC!" George King, MaKayla King, Miyuki Crystal, Lola and Terry Stork, and Suki Crystal waved with (mostly) bright smiles.

"From Water 7, a multi-racial group of energetic girls, Sector W7!" Chimney Ukeru, Aeincha, Apis, Aisa, Mocha, and April Goldenweek greeted them all with a wave. ("Gyom-gyom!") Oh, and Gonbe was there, too.

"From Kamabaka Island—oh God, not these guys. Um, it's Sector KB." The six kids were doing a dance: Bon Clay Jr., Ruby, Sapphire, Hibiki Lates, Liberty Belle, and Alexei Abramovici.

"From Karakura, Japan, these five bring the power to your party, Sector JP!" Karin Kurosaki, Yuzu Kurosaki, Jinta Hanakari, Ururu Tsumugiya, and Kodama made proud poses.

"From Saudi Arabia, these four girls can make a pretty rainbow, give it up for Sector SA!" Morgiana, Index, and Goombella waved (the latter jumped happily), but Nagisa was upset.

"I'm a boy…"

"Flying in from sky high, young but anxious candy hunters, it's the Marzipan Pirates!" Augustus Fizzuras came flying in with his crew of Stewie Griffin, Rallo Tubbs, and Maggie Simpson. The minute they made land-

"AUGUSTUUUUUUS!" The captain was tackled by 18-year-old Nel. "Spirit KND let Nel borrow 'Gigi'! Nel will help Augustus win Field Day, and then Augustus mate with Nel!"

"All right, Nel! I'm up for all except that last part!"

"Next is a newly established sector, by far the RICHEST you'll ever see, it's Sector $!" Carol Masterson winked to the audience, Weiss Schnee bowed, Raleigh waved happily, while Pacifica Northwest and Ciel Phantomhive frowned nonchalantly and waved.

"I can't believe we decided to take part in this." Ciel said.

"This sector will bring a little MAGIC to your party! They're the top magicians, so raise your *** for Sector MG! …Wait, why the hell did they censor that? I meant magic wa—oh, I see what you mean." Wendy Marvell, Oliver Orson, Kiki Yamaka, Philip Blakely, Romeo Conbolt, and the Hat Kid introduced their selves.

"And now, the biggest sector on Earth (in size, not numbers), don't let their strength discourage you, Sector GT!" The giant team of Sind, Doran, Konbu, Uzu, and Ally raised their fists in cheer.

"From Planet Avalar, these seven witches bring pride to Luna Nova, Sector LN!" The audience cheered for Diana, Akko, Lotte, Sucy, Constanze, Jasminka, and Amanda.

"From Planet Superbia, these students are bursting with hero pride, it's Sector U.A.!" Quite possibly one of the largest sectors, the audience cheered for Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Tenya Iida, and many more.

"Hope you ain't tired yet, folks, because we have PLENTY more teams to introduce!" Nick announced.

"SPEED UP!" MaKayla raised the Chrono Staff and SPED time along, waiting until everyone was introduced before resuming normal speed.

"PHEW, after those introductions, I'm already beat. You take over, Zach."

"GOTCHA!" Zach Murphy swiped the microphone and jumped off.

"I DIDN'T MEAN YOU!"

"Goooood time-of-day, ladies and germs! Let's kick things off with the first tournament! Mako, if you would?"

Hallelujah! Zach threw the microphone, and his girlfriend caught it. "This first game is called 'Home-Run Contest'!" A spotlight shone on a platform with a white, human-size cylindrical sandbag with eyes. "Our powerhouses will lay a furious beatdown on our faithful Sandbag. They will have 10 seconds to deal as much damage as they can, and once that time is up, they must send the Sandbag FLYING across our infinity-mile-long stadium! Any form of martial arts and bending is allowed. I am also required to inform you that we have bribed the Save the Sandbag Community into turning a blind eye to these proceedings. Up first is Sector V's SHEILA FRANTIC!"

"Ha ha HA!" Sheila excitedly jumped onto the platform. "Time to show 'em what I'm made of!"

Toads from Mushroom Kingdom were serving delicious food and drinks to those in the stands. "Victini…" A pair of eyes opened behind a chubby man. He was about to eat a hotdog when an invisible force stole the food and ate it into nothing. "Huh?" The man looked around in confusion.

"You may begin attacking… NOW!" A barrier appeared around the platform. (Play "Home-Run Contest" from Smash Bros. Brawl!)

Sheila Frantic took a step back and began spinning her fists. The Light Chi was growing brighter and brighter, Sheila spent every second charging her punch. "3… 2… 1… GO!" The barrier dropped, Sheila PUNCHED!!! The Sandbag flew all the way to the sky in a diagonal line. The counter was rapidly counting up the yards. The stadium truly did extend around the entire planet. Even though the Sandbag was likely out of the atmosphere, it somehow remained within the gravitational pull to keep flying. . . . . . This went on for three minutes and counting. "Okay, it's obviously not coming back. But we can't call a winner until everyone else has gone!"

Maddy Murphy was next, the "Home-Run" theme song replayed. Going Haki Fury, Maddy punched the Sandbag, bouncing it all around the barrier, jumping after it to kick it back down, punched down to bounce it up, hit it once more against the barrier, and "GO!" punched the Sandbag with enough velocity to send it far. "508,610 YARDS!"

Anthony next—the boy furiously punched and stomped the Sandbag, using Earth Chi to enhance the pain from inside the senseless sand-filled creature. He knocked it down and smooshed it repeatedly with his big feet. "3… 2… 1…" Anthony powerfully stomped the foothold, "GO!" threw his arms forward, jabbing two stalagmites up and blasting the Sandbag away. "100,720 yards!"

George King froze the Sandbag in time and started punching and kicking, building momentum up in the target. "GO!" George broke the Stop and watched the Sandbag take flight. "2,124 yards!"

"Wow, ha ha!" George scratched his head. "I guess I'm just not that strong!"

Mocha had trouble fitting on the platform, and all she could do to damage the Sandbag was stomp on it. Her giant size made her super strong, especially with Haki imbued in her feet, so the audience expected great things from her. "3… 2… 1… GO!" The barrier dropped, Mocha bent her leg back, and SWUNG THE KICK—her foot missed the Sandbag entirely. "Wah!" When her foot came back, she knocked it off the platform backwards.

"OOOOO, misdirected kick!" Mako flinched. "Zero yards! Sorry, Mocha, no do-over!"

"WAAAH-haaah-haaaaaaaah!" The giant started crying and banging the ground. "It's not fair, it's not faaaaiiiiir!"

Ruby went next—she was rapidly pummeling the Sandbag against the ground with her fiery fists. She was red with anger, and they couldn't believe the Sandbag hadn't burned, yet. "GO!" Ruby donned her Rocket Fists and BLASTED—the Sandbag broke into soot while the sand glittered in the sky like glass.

"Oooooo…!"

"Ruby scores 100 points!" Mako announced. "Because even though Ruby destroyed the Sandbag, her form of artistry is beautiful, and everyone deserves points for art! Yeowch!" A glass shard got in her eye. "Even if it's painful…"

Morgiana entered Red-Foot Fury and kicked the Sandbag upward, then leapt up to kick to the ground, then kicked it back-and-forth against the barrier. "GO!" Morgiana charged the final kick and sent the Sandbag flying. "99,784 yards!"

"Way to go, Morg!" Nagisa cheered. Morgiana faced him with a smile and nodded.

"My turn!" Sind walked up on the platform, and like Mocha, he had trouble fitting. His kicks were super strong for a soccer star, so when the barrier dropped, "GO!" he sent the bag flying like a soccerball. "10,310 yards!"

"I could've gone farther…" Mocha wept.

"GO!" Romeo Conbolt sent the bag hurdling with a violet flame fist. "3,204 yards!"

Romeo walked by Ruby and said, "The trick is not to make your fire too hot. Just because it's fire, it doesn't have to burn."

"Are you KIDDING?! Fire is SUPPOSED to burn! That's why it's FIRE!" Ruby screamed, her head flaming.

"Then you need to use your imagination!" Romeo grinned, patting her head. When he walked away, Ruby's skin boiled.

Grenda of Sector GF pounded the Sandbag into submission. She stood the thing up and, "GO!" she stopped her fist just before punching. …The Sandbag seemed to stare into her soul. Its eyes were so innocent. "…Sniff! I can't punch something so cu-u-u-ute!" Grenda hugged the Sandbag and cried.

"Grenda gets 200 POINTS for Heart!" Mako cheered.

Jasminka of Sector LN was chugging down lots of chocolate bars instead of beating her Sandbag, a joyful sweet smile on her face. Her expression turned serious as she readied her fist. "GO!" The Sandbag went flying quite a ways, her strength surprising the others. "3,111 yards!" The girl smiled and bowed politely.

Sector U.A. voted Uraraka to go up, and the girl appeared fairly weak in strength. She bore a passionate smile, lightly touching the Sandbag. "GO!" She threw it across the field at a very slow speed, but the Sandbag was constantly rising and moving forward. "Uraraka used her powers to make the Sandbag float infinitely! Automatic out-of-bounds!"

"Hahahaha! YEAH!" The young heroine raised two fingers.

Next was Ciel Phantomhive, who spent his 10 seconds rapid-punching the Sandbag. "3… 2… 1… GO!" At first, Ciel's kick didn't make the bag fly too high. But as it was making its descent, it seemed to stay airborne longer than anyone else's. No one noticed the black blur whipping around the audience and chucking rocks at the Sandbag to keep it high. Eventually, the blur ceased, and the bag landed. "3,984 yards! Pretty impressive for a skinny guy! Okay, now it's Sector JP's turn!"

"Go for it, Jinta." Karin said.

"Hehe, my plea-" Jinta propped his bat over his shoulder—he then realized: "Wait, you want ME to do it? I thought you would argue over being stronger."

"Well, I am stronger, but baseball's your thing. You can probably hit it farther."

"Heh heh! You got it!" Jinta stepped onto the platform with a confident smirk.

Rather than attack the Sandbag, Jinta held the bat behind him and whirled it around to charge his swing. "Victini…" The invisible creature floated up to Jinta and found a granola bar in his pocket. "Mmmm!"

"3… 2… 1…" The creature tapped Jinta with a light touch. "GO!" The bat swung—the Sandbag rocketed to the heavens as fast as Sheila's. "WHUH?!" Jinta gaped.

"WHOA!!" Sector JP were utterly stunned.

"AMAZING! Jinta's Sandbag went as far as Sheila's! Both Jinta and Sheila currently tie for first place in this round! Let's keep going to see if anyone can match up!"

"Way to go, Jinta-kun!" Ururu cheered. "I had no idea you were that strong!"

"I didn't, either… hehehe! 'Guess my new muscles aren't just for show!" Jinta reached into his pocket… "Hey, where'd my granola bar go?"

Hideout Helm

"Oh ho ho ho!" Dr. Eggman laughed. "I must admit, it's fun to watch kids goof off once in a while. I never enjoyed Field Day myself, but it's more enjoyable to watch OTHERS mess up!"

"Yes, it is an exciting competition…" K. Rool said. "I wonder if… it will appear?"
