Thread: Prince of Tennis - The Believable Storyline

(I don't have time to proofread this--I will when I get back.)

Singles 2:

Ryoma starts out with his new evolved version of the Cool Drive, the Crush Drive, which utilizes a super spin to create an anti-gravity field around the ball. With 09 hitting the ball but getting it stuck on the racquet, Ryoma takes the first game rather quickly. But 09 simply laughs at his helplessness, and how he didn’t expect his special move to be this handy for once.

09 then activates his Noble Phantasm, the Big Fucking Anti-Gravity Gatling Cannon, which negates any gravity around the ball before shooting it back with 900 Style Hadoukyuu force. Not only that, but the 5 empty barrels shoot “gravity waves” across the court to make the opponent weightless and screw up their approach. So Ryoma is forced to volley continuous Hadokyuu level shots while utilizing air pressure from swinging his racquet to reach the ball and keep from floating away. He’s worn down rather quickly before losing the second game, tying things up 1-1.

Despite his disadvantage, however, Ryoma grins cockily at his opponent before closing his eyes. Suddenly, the arena goes dark, and Ryoma is bathed in a brilliant gold light as electricity runs across the court and to the ceiling. His eyes turn brown, his hair white, and the hair on his head grows down to his knees while a black leather trenchcoat materializes over his shoulders. The back-up lights come on, and we see MnK Type III for the very first time. Ryoma points his now elongated racquet at 09, and says in a deep voice “You still need a lot of work.”

09, still confident, hits the BFAGC as a serve—but Ryoma sprouts a black feathered wing from his back, and catches up to the ball easily to get the point. (And before you ask, no one wonders how he can fly when he just has a wing on his right side). Now unencumbered by staying level, Ryoma hits the evolved Drive A, the Atomic Drive, as a serve—but instead of hitting it at 09, he hits one of the net posts, instead, causing the BFAGC to vanish!

He then comments on how the gear in the winder glowed when 09 activated the Phantasm, the same way it glowed when Kikumaru tried to use his clones in the D2 match. Then, with a wave of his hand, Ryoma makes the floor of the court itself transparent, allowing everyone to see the various Reality Marbles, weapons and atmosphere changers underneath. Having been exposed, the ZOSS Queen is forced to use her magic to hypnotize 09, lest he spill on her involvement in the plot, and uses him as a conduit to summon early 90’s Andre Agassi.

What is considered the best rally in the series to date follows, as both players activate the Pinnacle of Perfection (though Ryoma stays in SHM mode); Agassi uses the Invisible Style, and seemingly vanishes from the court, while Ryoma uses the “Advent Children” Style, which gives him a shitload of stat boosts for no goddamn reason. The 2-on-1 rally lasts 3 whole volumes, incorporating play styles and techniques from nearly half the matches in the series. Then, out of nowhere, Agassi’s wrist gives out, and the horrified Queen realizes that she summoned him from just after the '93 U.S. Open, when he was forced to get surgery for his wrist. Her summoning time depleted, she's forced to send him back, leaving a dazed 09 looking vacantly around the court.

Having realized what happened, Ryoma uses the ultimate (and only forbidden) Alphabet Series move, the Sesame Street Drive, which entails using every English and Greek lettered move in random sequence. The resulting rally leaves 09 with 2 broken legs and a sprained ankle, due to the strain of trying to return everything. Thus, Ryoma gets the win by default, and the Earth team is one win away from winning the first match.

After this match, Ryoma realizes he can't change back because he stayed in MnK Type III for too long. Thus, Phantom Sephiroth becomes a regular on the Earth's team.

Singles 1:

As Yukimura moves towards the court, he suddenly stumbles and falls to his knees, coughing blood. The Earth team finds out that Yukimura's illness has come back (not having been fully cured) and is destroying his body from the inside. Sanada suggests that they get someone else to take his place (unlike Earth tennis, there is not special order, as it can be changed anytime) but Yukimura insists on doing it himself.

07, having realized Yukimura's condition, mocks the Earth team for sending forth such a weak and girly player, much to Sanada's anger. Yukimura stops him and steps forward telling 07 that he will make him regret saying such words. 07, however, doesn't get the hint and even goes as far as to mock Niou's death. Before anyone can to anything else, however, 07 is hit with a killing intent so intense that even the ZOSS Queen is taken aback, and a shadow of a beast is seen behind Yukimura, whose eyes are glowing red. Yukimura slowly tells 07 that the dead are not to be mocked, and steps forward.

Having gotten over the initial fear, 07 soon regains his cockiness and tells Yukimura that he will completely and utterly kill him. Yukimura simply smiles mysteriously and hits a serve that 07 cannot react to; it is a serve so fast and sudden hit with a spin that severe that it causes the opponent's (and everyone watching) brain to shut down suddenly. Revealing himself to be Aeon Clock, the Ruler of Time, Yukimura quickly brings up the points to 1-0 with his serve.

07, angry, decides to end the match not by points but simply by killing Yukimura, and goes all out, unleashing his true form (a massive creature that is somewhat like a dragon without wings, only more muscular and uglier and with spikes all over his body) and hitting a serve that knocks Yukimura's racket out of his hand.

Sanada looks worried, and when asked why, replies that while the serve of 07 was powerful, it shouldn't have been hard for Yukimura to return it in his normal condition, and remarks mysteriously if 'that' is beginning to resurface.

07 begins his assult on Yukimura, targeting his legs, his arms, his chest and his head, battering Yukimura until he can barely stand. He then begins to laugh and tells Yukimura that he is the strongest of his team, and with this win Earth will be destroyed. Yukimura slowly stands up, and with blood dripping down his mouth, smiles softly and tells 07 that it is not yet over. With his ball held in front of him, ready to serve, Yukimura tells 07 to prepare for his death, and a great amount of energy gathers in his hands.

Sanada then yells for everyone to stand back, and when asked why by Ryoma, explains that inside Yukimura is a beast, a beast like no other. When the universe was first created, there was a creature that was born to play tennis, destined to be stronger than anything else. Deeming it to be too powerful, the Galactius put a curse upon that beast, sealing it within a body of a newborn baby. For millions and millions of years the beast was transfered into a newborn baby whenever its previous host died, and now, Yukimura is the vessel for the beast. It is also revealed that the beast is the reason for Yukimura's illness. This turns out to be a plothole in the story, as none of the Earth team members knew of the history of Galactius until a few arcs ago, which means that Sanada had no way of knowing about the beast. Calling the beast the digital monster called TennisMon, Sanada tells all to beware of its nine tails.

Sprouting nine tails of energy, Yukimura hits the ball, calling the serve The End, and before anyone realizes what happens 07 is found sprawled on the floor, severely injured and near death with no marks on his body. Struggling to his knees, 07 reveals that he is actually not 07 but 007, and that he will be back for revenge, before turning into a pile of dust.

Earth vs. Sect Team Theta – Epilogue

As Yukimura is carried away on a stretcher, Tom Cruise stares at his frail body, grinning maniacally as he thinks about what he’ll do with the beast within. Just then, a young girl walks in with a purple and black striped racquet; the Queen immediately orders everyone but Cruise out, and both of them bow and address the girl as “Rhode-sama”. Rhode tells them that The Doctor wants to meet them underground to show the current state of “Project SR-2”.

In the lab below, The Doctor first shows them the test subjects recently pulled from different dimensions, and reads off the dossier on each:

Subject NCS-06 – A mercenary hired by a eco-terrorist group which targets the lone energy conglomerate on his dimension’s Earth. Their efforts are based on the claim that the company’s extraction methods do irreparable damage to the planet. It is said that he was a former agent for the company who was trained by them, though why he left is unclear. One interesting note—the energy exuded from his body during battle closely resembles that of Muga no Kyochi Type III, and is comparable in strength.

Subject NVS-05 – A swordsman thought to be a hybrid between a human, and an unknown alien species with immense power. He was found in an alternate realm in his Earth after unsuccessfully trying to bridge 2 dimensions together, through a crude Phantasm-type seal encompassing an entire building. A second being was found with the exact same energy and physical makeup, but the scouts said that this one was, in their words, “way cooler”.

Subject NBG-04 – A dual wielding marksman who gained immense tennis-like powers through an earlier, and much more primitive, necrolization procedure that still managed to revive him. The weapon he used while attempting to resist the scouts, which was large enough to release 500 level Hadokyuu salvos and be used as a meele weapon, is currently being modified by our weapons techs into a racquet. Since the basic technology is already present, he is making the fastest progress in being revived, and will probably become the strongest non NSR-Line regular on the team.

Satisfied, the Queen orders the doctor to have them ready before the semi-finals, and leaves.

After she’s gone, Cruise asks The Doctor if he and Rhode can see “her”, which causes him to break out in a cold sweat. With a more-than-modest degree of hesitancy, he leads them to the very bottom level, towards a huge chamber labeled the “CHK-00 Holding Cell”. Inside, a figure is locked inside what looks like an iron maiden, which is suspended from the celing with chains and wrapped with various Galactian and Japanese sealing talismans.

The creature looks down at Cruise through a slit in it’s full body bandaging, and roars as it tried to struggle out of the device. As he meets it’s gaze, the whites in Tom’s eyes go black, while the irises turn bright yellow. Cruise calls her completion level at about 75%, saying that she’ll be fully awake in the next month or so. The doctor sweats even more after hearing that, as Cruise and Rhode walk back up to ground level and out of the lab building.

Yet another thread to revive to consolidate our spam. Enjoy.

I can't believe a topic this far-fetched was in the PoT forum.

Dude, read it. Its awesome. Another masterpiece created by the combined genius of Gigantor and Maggeh...wherever that guy is.

Feez - It was just an expression of our frustration at the insane semi-finals. And to be honest, none of this stuff seems particularly farfetched at the world-class level, if we use the Japanese junior high tennis circuit as a guide.

Anyway, I'll start this back up after work, if I can. If not, I'll do it tomorrow (since I'm off).

Not to mention that Tezuka's, Fuji's, Chitose's and others' techniques are only at amateur level.

Haha, alright, I'll read this. D:

And yeah, a lot of PoT moves seem far-fetched as is, especially considering the fact that they're all supposed junior high students.

LOL! OMG! You guys cannot be serious! This thread is brilliant! So full of shocking moves, you guys are genius!
