Нere is my character
Full story:
I'd like to tell you a wonderful story about a young boy who became a hero.
The story begins in the near future, somewhere in mountains of Tibet.
A homeless boy Hon Li Shu started his great journey participating
in a Kung-Fu show of local Shaolin temple. The pivotal moment took place
during the show, when a lighting system collapsed on him. He was close to death,
fortunately, it happened in a big modern city with high technologies everywhere.
The organizers of the show managed to save the gifted boy's life by paying for
an expensive treatment. And this is how The Kung-Fu-Robo-Boy was created.
During rehabilitation the boy quickly restored his old skills and even learned some new one's
with his brand new augmentations. He got interested in baseball in which he found his very
own Kung-Fu. After his coming back home, he opened a baseball school in spite of the fact that
people were afraid of him.
Meanwhile, a conflict between humans and their new neighbors - Reptiloids which used to hide their
identity behind human appearance sharpened. After rivers of blood were spilled in countless battles,
both sides decided to solve the issue by arranging a baseball competition in which
usage of technologies was allowed at maximum of 40%.
At that moment a team of our hero already gained worldwide fame and that's why they were chosen to
represent humankind in this competition.
Then came the decisive match, by the 47th minute Reptiloids team "Zzappachi"
took the lead. Because of unfair alien's playing, a half of the human's team
was out of the game. Everyone was looking at our hero with hope,he was facing
an opponent pitcher named Kildja The Killer (which was said to be a skilled curveball pitcher).
After second strike, the crowd was motionless and silent, it looked like
even the air was heavy and suffocating but none dared to say a single word.
Everyone was just waiting for a miracle...few seconds later,the crowd exploded in applause
,the boy struck out a curveball and sent it at high speed into the space.
This strike out was named "Hon's astronomical Kung-Fu home run".
