A/N: Sup, here we go mates.
(Unknown Location)
"Ngggh...this feels just what my last hangover felt like..." Ana said as she grabbed her head. "And that was almost fifteen years ago..." As her vision cleared, she got the opportunity to look around. "And this isn't what home looks like."
Ana found herself in a small, damp, and dark jail cell in what appeared to be some dungeon. There were dozens of other cells lining in front of her and to the sides, but each were empty.
"Hm, this looks like what something from DeGroot Keep would look like," she said. "Never mind, time to get out of here." she summoned her hammer and swung it at the bars. But instead of breaking apart as what she expected, it only bounced off of the metal bars.
"What the...?"
She swung again and was met with the same result.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" the hammer caught fire as she swung it again, but it never broke the bars. "Dammit, what the hell are these thing made out of?" She sighed and sat down. "Guess I'm stuck here for now, I just hope everyone else is ok..."
"Well that doesn't sound far fetched," Dell said as he rubbed his head. "Ah guess that explain's Ana's origins and how she can control fire so well." Julie just finished explain what was going on to the rest of the group sans Arachne and Jackie. The group was sitting in the slightly destroyed living room, while it was slightly bust up, most of the furniture was still standing.
"I'm surprised you're taking this pretty well, Mr. Conagher," Trinity said. "Most men would lose their heads by this point."
Dell gave a chuckle. "Ah've fought robots, mythical creatures, space cops, and an futuristic army. Ah think I'll be ok. Besides, ah know Ana and Heather would be fine. They're fighters, just like everyone here."
'CRASH!'
One of the Dregin soldiers that was still alive flew threw a window and landed with a thud in the living room.
"Jackie, did you have to throw him?" Arachne said from outside.
"He was getting on nerves! If he doesn't submit to your interrogation, I will beat the information out of him!" Jackie said, sounding obviously pissed.
"But couldn't you have thrown him in a window that was not broken?"
"...oh, oops." she hopped through the broken window and picked up the soldier. "Silly me~" she said before throwing the guy back outside and jumping through the window again.
"So what's the plan?" Red asked. "I mean we can just go yolo into their base or castle whatever and rescue the two."
"Yeah and kill everyone in sight, including those who are innocent," Trinity sarcastically said. "If we go all out we lose our perception of who's good and who's not."
"If I could interject for a moment," CV said. "I believe someone is at the door."
"There is?" Dell asked.
There was a knock followed by a familiar German voice. "Ah hello? Engineer, Pyro, Heather...anyone?"
Dell got up and went to the door. He opened it and found Medic standing outside. "Herman?"
"Guten Tag, Engineer!" the German said. "How are you?"
"What are yah doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in German or something with your new job?" the Texan asked.
"Ja! But I have forgotten some things inside zhe base-"
'CRASH!'
"YOU'RE LUCKY THAT WAS A LOVETAP, BITCH!"
"Jackie, we are not trying to kill him!"
"Too fucking bad! I need to let off some steam and this bastard is my PUNCHING BAG!"
Herman blinked. "Is everything ok in zhere?"
Dell cleared his throat. "Why don't yah come inside so ah can explain. Lots of things happened these past days."
"Really? I guess you could say the same for me," he stepped to the side and revealed a blue girl standing behind him. "Zhis is Skyla, mein friend."
Location Unknown
"Ooowww...that left a mark...yup...Willis is not having a good day..."
A blue cloaked Wanderer groggily got up from the ground. His cloak was more tattered-looking, and a blue arm and shoulder guard adorned his left arm and shoulder. He got to his feet and dusted himself off before cracking his neck.
"Geh, I must be losing it. Shouldn't be able to feel that..." he said as he looked around. "Now where'd I blast off too?"
Around the Wanderer was a jungle-like environment, tall trees with thick canopies, humid air, and the sound of animals roaming somewhere in the thick vegetation.
"A jungle huh? Maybe we should have our new HQ here for a change of pace," he said. "And for bearings..."
He took off to the nearest tree and started climbing it. He sped to the top of the tree and poked his head out. "Trees, trees, more trees...two moons, huh, interesting..." he said before spotting something. Something that he should've seen before everything else.
"A floating island? I gotta check that out."
He disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared on the island. It was nothing special, just a grassy field suspended hundreds of feet above in the air. "Hmm, I was expecting something more than this..." he was about to teleport away from the island when he noticed someone was standing in the center of the island. "Who's that?"
The said person was a male that looked similar to him, but looked more...futuristic? His cloak was black with what looks like galaxies moving around on it. He couldn't see what the person looked like under that, since the cloak had the same property as his of obscuring the face.
"Uh, hello?" he called out to the person. "Hey, you! I need to ask you something."
He tried to get closer to the person but as soon as he got within a foot of him, the person disappeared.
Willis blinked. His right hand moved to his katana.
'Behind you.'
Willis drew his katana and swung around.
'KLANG!'
Metal collided as the katana and a sword made contact.
"I guess being friendly is out of the picture."
The two disengaged and jumped back to the opposite side of the island and took a stance.
"Mommy!" as soon as Skyla saw Arachne she ran towards her and latched onto her.
"Skyla you're ok!"
"Mommy?" Dell asked.
"Skyla was raised as a lab experiment, but she escaped after she found out her creators wanted to use her for evil." Arachne explained as she stroked Skyla's head. "I found her and she started calling me her mom for some reason."
"I rather be with you than the scary glasses man." Skyla said. "Or him."
"Who?"
Skyla motioned to Herman.
"If you are accusing me of experimenting her, I did not do zhat. I only work on humans, not blue colored gelatinous humanoids." Herman replied as he crossed his arms. "Oh! And I got my medical license back!"
"You did?" Dell asked. "How?"
"It vas simple, I showed zhe board my AMAZING feats and restored my title! I'm a doctor again!" he said with glee. "Finally, zhe medical community will bow down to my vast intellect on zhe human body! HaHAHAHAHAHA!"
"..."
"Sorry."
"Oh, Skyla naturally dislikes anyone that wears a lab coat, or anything that resembles a lab coat," Arachne said. "It reminds her too much of her past."
"Ah, zhat would explain vhy she didn't like me when I met her..." he looked around and noticed there were other people in the house that he didn't notice. "Who are zhese people?"
"The girl in green is Jackie, the two chicks in purple and red is Trinity and Red, respectively, and the blond girl is Julie." CV said.
"I see, ah, vhere is Pyro and Heather?"
"Well, about that partner...CV why don't yah bring some of doc's stuff in. Yah might want to sit down cause this might take a while."
One very convoluted explanation later...
"If I heard zhat from anyone else, I vouldn't believe it..." Herman said. "So it seems that Fraude Pyro and Heather are royalty?"
"Yup, apparently the long lost daughter of some fire queen. What are the chances?"
"In hindsight, zhat wouldn't be so far fetched considering the circumstances zhat occurred fifteen years or so ago." Herman said with a chuckle before turning serious. "So you say zhat some dark magic people took the two?"
"That's pretty much it."
The doctor adjusted his glasses and sighed. "And to add more confusion, the Allies are gone?"
"More like scattered," Arachne said. "We don't know where everyone is."
Herman looked at Trinity and Red. "You two are not human?"
"Yes, we just take an appearance of a human, but we are in no way a human." Trinity answered. "If fact, we don't even have definite genders."
"What?!" everyone in the room shouted.
"Yeah...it's more of a lesser fact that we don't really acknowledge. We're actually "its" than he's/she's."
"So you're not a she?" Dell asked.
"Not exactly, we use the he/she pronoun to differentiate between ourselves depending which gender we take on, and did I mention we can swap genders at will?"
"You should see Willy as a girl! He becomes so self-conscious and flustered, it's totally hilarious!" Red said.
"...and how swell!" Jackie huffed as she walked into the living room and dropped the soldier in a heap. "No leads, and I think I broke this guy."
"You think?" Arachne deadpanned.
Never before in Jeremy's life had he seen anything more disgusting than what he just saw. He'd seen some pretty gross stuff like the bread monster and things in Medic's fridge but this had to take the cake.
He just witnessed someone give birth.
"Aww it's a boy," Lily cooed as she held the newborn in her arms. "Do you want to hold him?"
Jeremy paled. "I'll pass."
Thirty minutes earlier...
It was the end of another long day at Colonel Chicken for Jeremy and Lily, and the two were closing up for the day.
"Man I'm beat..." Jeremy said as he plopped down on a chair. "How the hell are you not tired from the shit he had today?"
"I have no idea, but then again, I do stand almost all day working on patients." Lily said.
"Jeremy, Lily," the manager stuck his head inside the break room. "We have a problem."
"What is it boss?" Jeremy asked.
"One of the customers just went into labor," he said. "I called an ambulance, but..."
"It's not going make it..." Lily said. "Oh shoot, did her water broke?"
"What's...?"
"Does it look like she pissed herself?"
"...I'll get back on that..." he said as he left.
"Jeremy, get Logan. I'll start prepping." she said.
"Prepping for what?"
"To deliver! The ambulance isn't going to arrive on time so we have to deliver the baby, now go!" she shouted.
Jeremy nodded and raced out the back door. He sped down the sidewalk and down to his house. He barged into the door. "Yo Logan! You here?"
"In your room," he replied.
Jeremy went to his room and found the wolf still reading a book. "I see you're back," he said. "Where is Lily?"
"Back at work, we have a problem there."
"Which is?"
"One of the customer's going to have a baby."
"Hmm, really...well, you head back and see if she needs any assistance. I'll be there shortly." the wolf stood up and grabbed two large duffels that were on the floor.
Meanwhile...
Since field medics were often the only source of medical personal for the Allies, it was important that each knew how to treat any type of medical emergency, including delivering newborns.
Lily was by far the most experienced field medic in delivering and also delivered for non-humans as well. It's pretty strange that the medic that likes to improvise ninety percent of the time is the most qualified individual to do this.
"Ok now...just push. Breathe and push..." she said. She was dressed in green scrubs and had a face mask on. "No need to rush..."
"GIVE BIRTH! GIVE BIRTH!"
Everyone looked up and found a man was standing outside with a pitchfork and torch chanting those two words.
"GIVE BIRTH! GIVE BIRTH!"
"Do you MIND?!" Lily yelled as Logan went outside to confront the man.
Focused again, Lily went back to work.
"Oh, here he comes..."
Present Day
"I am never going to get over that." Jeremy said. "How the hell do you not freak out?"
"I dunno, experience? Besides, it's pretty rare for me to deliver regular humans these days," Lily said. "I mostly do weird non-human deliveries most of the time."
"Ew..."
Jeremy and Lily watched as the ambulance drove with the newborn and the mother.
"Crap..."
"What?"
"I just realized we still have to clean up."
