...
*Della goes hunting down wherever Quack's is now, she not only needs to tell him who is here so he doesnt flip out, but also has another small question after that. He is STILL talking to Grim in another complicated position...she sees him* Ah, Quack I... wow. *Quack turns walking on his hands* Hello Della, care to join me? *Della stares...sats simply*...I don't think I can... *Shakes herself* You might want to, um, get comfortable. I'm going to say two names... and I think you're going to get very angry very fast, but I need you to stay calm, okay? *Quack nods* Im usually a level headed person but yes rattle them off if you may... *Della says them* Colin Delaney. Shane Storm. Quack- ...Oh...*flips up to stand* ...And their here? *Della sighs* Yes. They're here. *Stresses strongly* On Neutral ground. No War zone territory. *Quack nods* As it should be...I suppose you are thinking because I had a little bit of a moment with Stigma in the past doesnt mean Im not collected around their mention now...Ive just come to terms with whats happened. *Della exhales*...I admit I was worried, but I'm glad to hear that.
*Quack nods* Yes, Colin and Stigma have both made their own beds like Gerard, if they dont cross me, I wont cross them...but if they do cross me...I wont hesitate, as will none of the technicos. *Della breathes a deep sigh of relief* Good to know. *Quack changes subject* So...you were the one who brought them here? How did you swing that? * Della replies* Oh, well I found them, I told Stigma everything he'd done that I thought was stupid, called him an idiot, asked him if he was going to do something stupid again or come with me to see Gerard. *Quack stares...*...I have mentioned that you are a great person already havent I? *Della just grins, Quack adds* It is a shame we werent able to be around you more when you grew up...I can only imagine what our influence would have been on your life if we had been...
*Della: *glances at him*...Speaking of which... I know Kodama and Obariyon are keeping an eye on my daughters. But I was wondering if you or some of the technicos might help train them. Especially Tiana. I know that sounds weird, but Mikko at least has a sort of defense for herself. Tiana has... nothing. Nothing at all. And while it was very satisfying to smash Ultramantis Black's mandibles in... I also know that he won't take that lightly. *Quack nods* ...Well it would be my honor, and of course all the technicos would love to train them...and hey anything you want to learn as well...*Della grins* I was hoping you'd say that...
*Quack smiles and turns back to Grim, Della asks* What are you talking about anyway? *Quack turns to her* Oh just a few new...arrangements...*Della blinks* Arrangements? *Quack nods* Della...name some doors around here you dont normally use... *Della blinks* Um...off the top of my head there is a closet in the living room... *Quack nods* Perfect! Come with me *Della blinks and follows, Quack goes to that door, opens it...barely anything in it, he shuts the door, and gets out a blue ball, and throws it against the door, it poofs, and now glowing on the door, big and blue, is the CHIKARA Symbol...Della's eyes widen, Quack speaks up* As long as you dont mind using this closet for anything...*opens the door...and there is...the main room of CHIKARA's headquarters...it is very nice looking, very up to date and high tech looking* This will connect our homes...so you can just open the door, and there we are...so what do you think? *Della stares...and then she scoops Quack up in a giant hug, Quack Oomphs, then pats her back* Thought...you would be happy about that...*Della lets go smiling* I'm glad now you guys dont have to keep climbing up my house...*Quack smiles a little* Oh that wasnt so bad...*Della shakes her head sighing* So...fill me in...everyone the same as they ever were? *Quack stares...then sighs* No not...completely... *Della pauses and looks to him* ...What do you mean?
*Quack continues* Well...Dunkerton is currently out to do his own thing, he left on good terms however *Della frowns, she liked Suger* Oh...whats he doing? *Quack thinks* Oh the...Annual Demon Plane One on One Basketball Tournament, very long event, alot of different demons...*Della smiles a little* I bet he'll still win *Quack nods* No doubt in my mind he has the chance to...and...theirs one more thing you should know...*Della blinks* What? *Quack sighs*...The Osirian Portal are gone...*Della's eyes widen* What? *Quack continues* Ophidian...trned bad after Amasis...was no longer able to compete...and since then Ophidian has gone through this Transformation of sorts...and he's turned full rudo...*Della looks like she cant believe this...the Portal were two of the nicest ever...and how he just said...Ophidians gome bad? Quack sighs* Other than that...did I ever mention the Brudersghaft to you when you were little? *Della thinks back... nods a little* Just a few times...I dont think you wanted me to worry about more than Mantis though... *Quack nods* Well their still there too as a heads up...and so is Mantis...*Della glares, not at Quack just the name in general, Quack adds* IIts alright, we'll get him. *Della nods* And if you dont Tom will...*Quack agrees* I did see him, he is quite the specimen.
*Quack sighs* So by the looks of things the headquarters is back up and running...now what we need to figure out is exactly how to get the company back on the right track...with how things have been going, we have not been able to fight the rudos properly...hopefully now however, we can get CHIKARA back on track. *Della looks to him, asks* How are you going to do that? *Quack sighs* Well, one small step at a time, but I'm sure it wont be too hard to- *he's cut off by vehemant shouting upstairs, Quack blinks* I think thats Grim... *Della tilts her head* Whats got him all angry? *Quack folds his arms* I dont know, but I think we better go see...*Della and Quack go up, Grim is shouting on his Cell Phone oin the middle of a conversation* -I keep yellin' ya chile, stop puttin' trackers an' speakers an' mini cameras on me person without me knowin'! Its an invasion a privacy! ...What? ...No! No I will not, ye' cant be serious...how? *Grim growls* Dis is a mistake...*shouts over the phone on the other end, Grim cringes8 Right...fine, do what ye will...if ya wanna' waste yer time...*hangs up, turns...stares* Oh um...Quackenbush...Della...*Quack raises an eyebrow* Grim...what was that about? *Grim stretches his cloack* Um...nothin' much I'm sure...*Quack blinks* What do you mean by that? *Grim shakes his head* Nothin', nothin' at all...*Quack stares...* ...Della? *Della brandishes the frying pan, Grim glares* I be Death woman, if ye think Im scared a you- *Shr flicks it, it makes a ting sound, Grim flinches a bit, Quack speaks up* If this concerns us Grim, out with it...

Della always loved my plans! *Jagged retorts* She was five!

All of CHIKARA's best and top wrestlers from around the plain coming to wrestle in a big tournament for the grand prize, the CHIKARA Grand Championship! Boy it looks pretty, BUT IM A MAN, SO IT SHINES WITH PRIDE! *Quack pauses* ...Hmm...a Tournament...well of course, we would all ente, Mantis is probably jumping on this idea as well...as are other unwanted people. Well we cant let them get the title...a technico must reign superior *Shane nods* IT'LL BE ME! *Quack ignores him* Whoever it may be- *Shane cuts him off* MEEE! *Quack continues* Im sure will be a great champion...*Alot of the Technicos pause...and look around to each other...the idea that one of them can be champion...its all gotten their attention, Mikko looks to Kodama, Tiana beams at Obariyon, both look ready for this...they wanted to get back to the wretling world, Kobald bounces, still a little hurt, but Tom said no broken bones...so he looks like he wants to. Kingston looks around, fist clenching and unclenching...he dares anyone to get in his way, upstairs, Colin and Stigma hear the news...they tell Gerard...but he cant compete with his injury right now...so he starts planning with Colin and Stigma...two who can. Del Rey crosses her arms thinking, the Colony all look ready, as does Dasher, Touchdown looks more than ready for the challenge. Saturyne looks taken aback, if she could enter...she could really prove herself in the Tournament! Archie wrings his hands...looks to Veronica, who nods at him...see if any of that soul serching will pay off*
*Della looks shocked* No way! *She feels like a kid right now, so excited* And they're holding it where? *Shane pauses...then booms*...RIGHT HERE! *Quack blinks* Wait what?...We just got here!

She looks to Tom, who nods...he knows better than to not go see this live*
*Della blinks* So who will announce? Mandy? *Quack smiles* Oh no...we have out own special announcer! *In the living room suddenly, there a voice* Helloooooooo CHIKARA! *Della turns and sees a short demon there like the res of them...with CRAZY black hair...he must not know what a comb is...but thats fine, he grins at all of them* And I've missed you so much! *Quack grins* Hello Gavin, Della, this is Gavin Loudspeaker, the voice of CHIKARA! *Gavin nods* And I've heard so much about you Miss, and I've heard about this Tournament, and I cant wait for it, all the action is bound to make lose my voice! *Quack replies* Well lets hope that doesnt happen...I assume Leonard will be commentating? *Gavin nods* You bet, and Bryce is officiating! *Quack nods* Wonderful, you'll meet them soon enough Della
