*Della and Co. after that experience, make it back in time for the fourth match announcement, Gavin gets the participants, announces* And next we have the co leader of the BDK, the cold and calculating Ares! Facing off against the Hot Property, and one third of the ever popular Colonyyyyy...Fire Ant!

*the tron flickers, and the cold stare of Ares pops on screen* ...So...it begins The brudershafts much deserved rise to dominance, above all else, Technico, Rudo, it does not matter, we will destroy all in our path like a machine! ...This comes to you Fire Ant...an insignificant Bug in the way of a much larger scale. Something your meager mind could never fathom...you run around and scream and do your little foolish mannerisms, you are a fool, a fool I shall extingish...the first of many in the BDK's resurgance to dominance...you are a hyper one fire Ant, that much is ceraitn. Let us see how hyper you are...when I drive you into the mat...and extinguish you! In named Der Brudershaft...*Della boos loudly*

*Fire Ant flickers on the screen* ...RAAAAAHHHHH AH RAH GRARAH! *points to screen and runs thumb across throat, brings hands to head and makes exploding motioin* RAAAAAAAAH! *Della nods* YOU TELL HIM!

*A remix of Rammstein's 'Engel' plays, and out comes Ares, hands behind back, staring coldly to the crowd, scanning them, walking to the ring. Stares hard at Della and Co, and makes the BDK cross. Della raises a hand, only to have Tom pull it down, Tom calms her* Della. Civil. Breathe.

Leonard- Hello werestling fans Leonard F. Chikarason back with you again for this intriguing matchup, these two competitors, no strangers to each other in the realms of Tag Team and Trios action, but Ares vs Fire Ant as a singles match is definitely a match the crowd is ready to see. Joining me for this contest is advancee to the next round, Dasher Hatfield, what are your thoughts Dasher!

Dasher- It is a pleasure to be here in the commentary booth I first must say Mr. Chikarason, but my thoughts in this match, are that I do not see a claer cut favorite, Ares and Fire Ant, even if that ruffian Ares doesnt like to admit it, are very even in combat I believe, so it shall be quite a show to watch!

*'Ants Go Marching' by the Dave Matthews Band starts up and out runs fire ants screaming and jumping around. Della waves arms and cheers. Fire Ant runs over to her and hugs, points to Ares and makes a frying pan wack motion, looks for the nod of approval She nods approvingly. Fire Ant screams and leaps in the ring, fips up from his head and makes an explosion mannerism. Della grins* You whack that head off!

*The bell dings, Ares and Fure Ant circle the ring after Fire ants rolls a little bit, go for a hookup and Ares shoves him off slamming him into the mat, Fire Ant backs up a little, Ares makes the cross sign. Ares locks up with Fire ant again, headlocks him into an arm wrench, Fire ant flips down, then up, and takes Ares hand reversing the arm wrench, throws Ares into the ropes but he locks his arms onto them stopping himself from rebounding out, Fire Ant drop kicks air and falls to the mat hard, Ares runs and gets on top of him for a headlock

Leonard- This is smart strategy here by Ares, Alot of people know Fire Ant, hes explosive, quick, and can strike you and hurt you in so many ways, and Ares wants to try and control the match and work it in his favor

Dasher- Easier said than done my friend, Fire Ant is not one to be snuffed for long...

*Fire Ant raises his hand over and over, crowd starts clap chant for him, he rises to his feet, and elbows Ares in the stomach to release the hold, then lands a couple forearms, goes to the ropes, Ares tries to clothesline him but Fire Ant ducks, then rebounds off the ropes and front flip leaps over Ares avoiding him the next time, slips to the apron, Ares chases him, Fires Ant moves, Ares just getting caught up in the ropes, Fire Ant flips over the ropes and grabs Ares flipping him down for a Sunset Flip, covers 1...kickout at 1! *Fire Ant growls*

Leonard- There is the quickness we talked about Dasher, and thats just a small taste

Dasher- Ares likes to picture himself a patient man, but lets see how long he handles Fire Ant when he cant catch him!

*Ares rolls through and slaps Fire Ant right in the face, Fire Ant pauses screams and retaliates by kicking Ares right in the side of the head, Ares rolls out of the ring Dazed, Fire Ant bounces in the ring, the crowd claps approval, and he bounces off tthe ropes and suicide dives right into Ares, Ares crashes into the guard rail, and Fire Ant lands on his feet, he goes back into the ring, screams, runs against te ropes again, and does a Sommersault Plancha right on top of a dazed Ares, they both go crashing to the floor*

*Leonard winces* Ooooh man, wonderful high flying by Fire Ant!

Dasher- I agree Leonard, and now with Fire Ant picking up steam will ARes have an answer?

*Fire Ant brings Ares up who is almost dead weight, tires to lift him over his head and Ares elbows him in the back getting him to drop him, Ares quickly takes a stunnes Fire Ant and throws him into the guardrail. Fire falls dazed. Ares wobbles away getting some spacing and a breather. Fire Ant gets up rubbing his head, Ares has gotten near Della and Co, Fire runs at him, and Ares gets up turns, and sidesteps Fire and hooks him in a bellyto back suplex position, and spins him down delivering a Tornado Driver, Fire Ant spins and smacks right to the ground hard. Ares isnt done, takes Fire Ants head and puts it on the guard rail beside Della, and puts his foot on Fire ants head applying pressure, Fire ant flails screaming, Della yells* Throw him off, frying pan to the head, ram him, you can do it!

Leonard- Ares has again, gotten the pace of the match back to his level

Dasher- This is foul play ref, count faster!

*Ares quickl rolls back in the ring to restart the count. He then lifts Fire Ant up again, looks and Della and nods with a slight smile, hooks an arm over fire ants head, and hooks Fire ANts leg as well, and delivers the Chinottoplex, a Fishermans Spinning Neckbreaker right on the floor, Fire Ant just goes limp, Della yells flailing* I WANT IN THAT RING! Tom just sighs and holds on* Remember you are pregnent honey... *Ares calmly steps back in the ring, the ref begins to count out Fire Ant*

Leonard- That Chinottoplex may be the end for Fire Ant here!

Dasher- I surely hope not, Fire Ant is made of much tougher stuff than that!

*Fire Ant twitches on the ground, the crowd claps for him, the ref is at 17, Fire Ant spazzes up, screams and leaps in the ring at 19, Ares's eyes narrow* ...Mistake...*Grabs Fire Ant, hooks his arms, going for the Tiger Driver. Della screams* NO! *Ares yells* Brudershaft! *Lifts him up, Fire breaks the arm hook, flipping onto Ares shoulders, and delivering a desperation Frankensteiner counter! Rolls over hooking Ares leg for a cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Fire Ant sprawls on the mat catching a breather, Della cheers*

Leonard- Beautiful counter of the Tiger Driver there, but Fire Ant cant put Ares away just yet!

Dasher- Come on Fire Ant, keep on 'em, ya aint out of the game yet!

*Fire Ant crawls getting to the top rope, points at Ares unsuspecting, Ares turns, Fire Ant leaps and kicks Ares right to the side of the head for Heat of the Moment!, Ares drops limp, Fire Ant crawls oveer cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Fire Ant- AAAAHHH! *pounds mat, Della supports* It's okay! You'll get him!

Leonard- Fire Ant pulling out alot here, but Ares showing his durability, he isnt a co-leader for anything

Dasher- As respectable as I am for Ares in ring skill, I do not like that man, root root root Fire Ant!

*Fire Ant waits as Ares gets up, he super kicks him Ares the middle making him bend over, Fire Ant gets him in the position for Beach Break! But Ares flails rolling out of it, Ares turns Fire Ant and gets him up for the Samoan Driver, he flips Fire Ant over, but Fire Ant responds right back with a counter, Ares wobbles in the ring, Fire Ant springs up, runs against the ropes, goes for a swinging hurricanranna, but Ares turns it into a Tornado Driver, but during the spin, Fira Ant spins it into a Tornado DDT! and both men just sprawl on the mat, the crowd roars* THIS. IS. AWE. SOME. *clap, clap, clapclapclap*

Leonard- WOW! Amazing sequence, shows just how much both men want it!

Dasher- Its gettin' to the ninth inning folks, someones going to have to hit a walkoff here!

*Both men get to their knees, and just deliver forearms to each other exhausted, Fire Ant gets up first screams, goes for the side kick to the head again, Ares ducks, gets up turns Fire Ant around, kicks him in the gut, hooks the arms, and flips him up, and hits the Tiger Driver!* *Covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Fire Ant sazzes on the mat, almost like a convulsion, but he kicked out! Ares flops stares at the ceiling shocked*

*Leonard looks stunned8 WOW! Fire Ant kicked out of that! I cant believe it!

*Dasher nods8 Much respect to you Fire Ant my brother! The Tiger Driver is a move that does many in, Ares may not want this more than he does!

*Ares gets up frustrated, puts Fire Ant in position and climbs up to the top rope, signals for his Front Flip Senton. Della flails. Ares flips off the rope, and Fire Ant moves! Ares his nothing but mat, he cries in agony getting up, and he's met by Fire Ant, who runs at Ares lifting a prone ares up, and Delivers Beach Break!. Covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Fire Ant screams looks to the official like he's joking, the official puts up two fingers, Ares looks like he's in another world...*

Leonard- It simply now all comes down to who wants it more!

Dasher- Come on Fire Ant, you got this boyo!

*Fire Ant screams and lifts a dead weighted Ares up, positions for another Beach Break and Ares conters, kicks Fire Ant in the middle, and hooks the arms, and flips him up for another Tiger Driver, and slams him down! Doesnt go for the coverflips fire ant on his stomach, sinches in what looks like...the CHIKARA Special...but backwords, Della blinks...glances at Quack, who is backstage, she might ssee him turn away and walk down the hall*

Leonard- Oh no the Inverted CHIKARA Special!

Dasher- Fight it Fire Ant, fight it!

*Fire Ant flails in agony, he cant get to the ropes, the Inverted CHIKARA Special has no known counter like the original, he taps out in agony, and Ares slumps to the ring mat, huffing...Fire Ant gave him everything...Della claps* It's alright Fire Ant, you gave it your best!

*Leonard sighs8 Well I got a few good c0mmentators in...now I have to deal with him...

*Dasher nods* Good luck Mr. Chikarason, and much respect to Fire Ant, win or lose, he put on a great showing! *Dasher leaves*

*Ares rolls out of the ring holding his head, and walks over to the commentary booth regaining his wits*

*As that match was ending, Tom, quickly trudges backstage to find Quack, who isnt too far speaks up* Um...Mr. Quackenbush? *Quack turns8 Oh, hello, you are Della's husband yes? What can I do for you?

*Tom rubs the back of his head* Before the next match I just wanted to quick come back here and...possibly ask a favor...*Quack tilts his head* And what would that be? *Tom sighs*... I know it's a lot to ask. I mean... I was there, when you fought Shane Storm, and Vin snuck up and nailed you on the head... I was there... I saw it...*Quack pauses...squints*...That was YOU? I remember seeing you but...my goodness...puberty hit you like a freight train...

*Tom sighs and continues*...The day Shane Storm got to be Stigma...was the day he saved my life from my Dad. My Dad beat me within an inch of my life. Vin dragged me to safety while Stigma... made sure my Dad would never hurt me again. I guess what I'm askin'... I know it's too much to ask for their forgiveness... but don't think as badly of them. Them, and Colin... they took care of me. *Quack stares at Tom...rubs his chin, well he has no reason to lie*...Ironic that three same evil doers met your wife...and did the same thing. However...these three hit much harder home for me than those three however...they all went behind my back...all betrayed the Technicos...Im not saying forgiveness is out of the question, but its not going to be easy. I of course could do my best to be civil with them for you and Della...but its a two way street you understand...*Tom nods* I know. I'll see what I can do. I just wanted to let you know... they're not all evil. They did their best to be a family for me. *Quack nods* ...And thats something I did not know...maybe there is some redemption, some shreds of humanity left in them... *Tom nods* Well. See you back in the ring. *Quack nods...then speaks up again* Um...before you go Tom * Tom glances over* Since you seem close to the Unstable...hold on *Leaves and quickly comes back, hands him some tapes* Show these to Della...and watch them yourself...their tapes of...where Colin went when he left us. Theirs a few minutes before the next match...you'll have enough time to see what heppend...go and watch. *Tom nods and takes them* Alright. *Goes to the ring and pulls Della backstage, looks for a place to put in the tapes, finally finds a TV no one is using and puts on the tapes, Della frowns* Tom! We'll miss the next match! *Tom sighs* Quack told me to show you, so just one second...

*The videos go to Colin in his stint with that...OTHER...wrestling company...and he's fighting guys...that are three times his size...and they are completely mauling him...*Della stares*... you... have got... to be *&^*ing me. *Tom stares as they keep playing, Della shouts* DO SOMET-ow...*winces at the clips, Tom cant find the words, they just keep coming, Della gets more and more speechless, Colin cant even defend himself... *Tom looks down to her*... Della? Are you...*Della wipes her eyes quickly* I'm fins. Shut up and play the next one. *Tom does...they keep coming...and coming...each isnt that long, they've been shortened to just show 'Highlights'...but they feel like an eternity. Tears are definitely streaming down Della's face, she could hide them before...but each clip, each new wrestler, each beatdown...she cant denie them now. She needs to talk to Quack about this at a free chance...but it ends...Della stares...and says*... Is it over?... *voice is husky and thick. Tom's isnt much better* That's all...*Della gets up and walks woodenly to the match area, searching out Colin Delaney. Colin is shadow boxing next to Stigma* Im gonna float like a butterfly and sting...like something! *Stigma grunts*

*Della walks over and stares at Colin, Colin takes a breath and looks over...waves* Oh Hi Della, what are you doing back here? *Della frowns*...Colin? *Colin blinks* What? *Della does her best to keep her voice in check*...I saw the clips...from the other company...*Colin freezes*...Oh...*grins* How'd I look? *Della stares. Just scoops him up in a huge hug* You are the stupidest bravest person I know for doing that and I think you need one of these. *Colin starts* Um...*hugs back* Ok..but on the upside...it was my big break! *Stigma mutters* Several actually...*Della sets him down after a while, Her eyes are visibly red and puffy, Colin blinks ...You alright? ...Your eyes look all weird...*Della nods* I'm fine. Yeah. Just. Allergies. *swipes her eyes, Tom pats him on the back, but very gently* Colin. I like you. You helped take care of me for awhile. I'd like to see you around a lot more... please don't ever do somethin' like that again. *Colin looks to Tom* ...Oh it wasnt that bad was it? *Tom stares back* ... Colin... you know I care about you, right? *Colin nods* Uh huh *Tom simply says* It was a slaughter. *Colin stares...then hangs his head* I know...on the upside...I can move now! *Tom nods* Keep it that way. *Della sniffs and wipes her eyes*

*Colin turns to her*...Aw hey...*pats her leg* ...Im alright you know...you dont need to cry over me...*Incidentally...Tursas walks by, just walks by is all...it snaps in Dellas head that these opponenets are randomized...Colin could have to...fight...him...Della stares* ...Colin... I don't suppose you'd... just... step out of this fight? Just in case...*Colin shakes his head* ...Nah Im a fighter, whoever my opponent is, Im gonna give it my all *Della stares...then turns her head, wiping her eyes furiously Colin stares* ...You'll...be cheering for me right? *Della lets out a little sob* Yes. *Colin grins* ...Awesome, Ill be sure to amke you proud! *Della stays silent, Tom talks for her* You'll make her proud no matter what, and me too. *Colin smiles and nods* Oh you guys better get back, hey I might even be next!

*Tom nods, and gently guides Della back to her seat. By now, Mikko is starting to get worried. Signals Obariyon, mouthing* Have you seen Tiana?' *Obariyon from his backstage position shrugs, mouths 'Finding hairclips I guess...' but he really doesnt know either...*

*Gavin gets the next match* The next match ladies and gentleman, it quite a treat! Its something thats got alot of build and conflict abount about it, the vile Hallowicked versus the Goblin of Goblins, Koooobald!

*The screen flickers and theres Kobald, laughing* Ooooh OHO AHAHAHA! Santa Claus came to Kobald early! Because Kobald got a great gift! AHAHA! OHO OOOH! Hallowicked! Kobald remembers your torture, He remembers it well AHA! And Kobald been biding his time to unleash his revenge, and it didnt matter who it was of your group, Crossbones, Ultramantis, Frightmare...but it shall be you! AHAHA! So Hallowicked...tonight, even if Kobald still hurts KOBALD UNLEASHES HELL ON YOU! AHAHA OHO! *Della yells* YOU TELL HIM KOBA!

*Screen flickers, theres Hallowicked* A Gash ba a gabee goda! En mala ka deeda boogash a ga de bellie boda aga! Boorabo noga a ba ga de! *grabs stem* De gre boolah en GA DOOGU!

Hallowickeds theme starts and he comes out not looking amused from that promo. Goes by Della and Co, Straightens his stem* Kobald! *runs thumb across throat grinning. Della just grins back* You're gonna go down. So far. You're gonna crash and burn, and he'll trounce you. *Hallowicked just laughs and goes in ring,

Leonard- Back again folks...this time with a match that I can tell you right now has alot building for it, joining me for this venture is the latest person to advance in the tournament...Ares...

Ares- Do not think that I enjoy sitting next to you Chikarason, but it is under strict orders. As for this match, I could care less about a talking pumpkin and a laughing fool, however...if I am to face one of the in the next round, this will be my opportunity to scout them...

*The theme Kodama came out to starts up, and Kobald slinks out, growling his ribs are taped, but he doesnt seem to let that get to him, he's more than ready for this match. Della holds out a hand for a good luck high five. Kobald high fives it and grins* Kobald's gonna maim! *Della smiles* You go buddy. *Squeezes his hand and watches. Kobald gets in the ring but as soon as he does he's met by a Yakuza kick by Hallowicked, Della yells* LOW BLOW!

Leonard- The match is already gotten off to a big start here Yakuza Kick out of nowhere!

Ares- The Goblin shouldn't have been so distracted with his ringside comrades, focus until you get in the ring, here is the consequence...

*Hallowicked covers 1...2...Kickout! Hallowicked growls, continuing the assault, smacking his back with forearm shots, gets Kobald up and runs against the ropes, goes for a step up frankensteiner but Kobald shoves him off quickly. Hallowicked flips over landing on his feet, runs at Kobald, Kobald sidesteps him, Hallowicked rebounds off the ropes and is met by a big headbut to the stomach! Hallowicked bends down. Kobald acts fast and puts a leg over Hallowickeds head, also hooks an arm, and drops Hallowicked for a Fameasser!. Covers 1...2...Kickout! Kobald groans*

Leonard- Wonderful way of getting back in the match by Kobald there with a great famasser!

Ares- However he is weak, his wounds are an open target, one slip up and he could be ended quickly...

*Kobald gets Hallowicked up, Hallowicked pokes Kobald in the eye making him recoil back, Hallowicked takes the chance and runs against the ropes delivering a running knee strike to Kobalds head, he flops and Hallowicked covers cover 1...2...Kickout!* Hallowicked growls, picks Kobald up and runs against the ropes, goes for the step up Frankensteiner again and flips Kobald right into the ropes, Hallowicked grins, goes to outside of the ropes, Kobald leaning on them, upper half of body leaning towards Hallowicked*

Leonard- Hallowicked has something nasty planned here...

*Hallowicked points to Kobald, roars, runs and goes for the Witch Kick,flips over to drive his heel into the back of Kobald's head, but Kobald moves, and Hallowicked's backside hits the apron of the ring hard, Hallowicked yells, used the ring roped to get up. Only to me met by a spear while he's still on the apron from Kobald! So fierce Hallwowicked flips and the back of his head smacks on the edge of the ring. Surprisingly he STILL hangs on to the outside of the ropes and doesnt fall to the outside...though it has to be basic instinct at this point*

Leonard- OH! Fierce spear by Kobald, not letting the inurt get to him!

*Ares adds* Yet...*Leonard just frowns at him, Ares stares coldly back*

*Kobald grabs Hallowicked and chucks him back to the ring , goes to the apron himself. Grabs the top rops and springs right over them for a rope assitted spring over splash, and lands it right on Hallowicked. Cover 1...2...Hallowicked reaches grabbing a rope with his hand, immediate break of the pin, Kobald groans getting off, that would have been it he knows it. Della cheers on* YOU'RE DOING GREAT KOBA! *Kobald grabs Wicked by the leg and drags him, springs against the ropes, leaps, extends an elbow and drives it right into Hallowicked's chest, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Kobald roars frustrated*

Leonard- Kobald is trying and trying right now, but he just cant put Hallowicked away!

Ares- Hallowicked is also not injured, and much more experienced, as opposed to Kobald's rookie sense and injuries...

*Kobald yells* FINISH! *climbs up to the top rope for his Demons Toilet finisher, his top rope sit down splash. As soon as he gets to the top rope however, Hallowicked springs up, leaps and kicks him right in the head, Kobald drops on the top turnbuckle in a sitting position, Hallowicked roars goes up again, lifts Kobald by his chest turning away from the ropes, and Rydeen Bombing him right off the top rope, Kobald spazzes/convulses, Hallowicked also flops, Della still cheers Come on Koba, you can do it! *Hallowicked crawls for a covers, 1...2...KICKOUT! Hallowicked- *grabs head in frustration, Kobald spazzes on the mat, rolling away from Wicked*

Leonard- Kobald took a very bad fall from that Rydeen Bomb there, the momentum has shifted!

Ares- Now lets see how Kobald holds up in terms of durability on the opposite spectrum of this match...

*Hallowicked stands, runs at Kobald for another Yakuza, Kobald sidesteps the kick, and spears Hallowicked down! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! *Kobald flops on the mat...HOW...Della yells PUNISH HIM! FOR ALL THE CRAP HE PULLED ON YOU! *Trying to rile him up, Kobald roars and pounds on Wicked, goes to the corner and crouches as Wicked stands Wobbily, hes going to go for another spear*

Leonard- If he hits another spear this could end it!

*Kobald runs for the spear, head first, Wicked turns and Yakuzas Kobald riight in the head, Kobald reels, Hallowicked gets Kobald up onto his shoulders, and drops him down kicking him right in the injured ribs for Go 2 Sleepy Hollow, Kobald crumbles on the mat holding his ribs, Hallowicked covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Hallowicked looks shocked, Kobald just writhes on the mat*

Leonard- Kobald will not give up! Does he have anything left!

*Ares folds his arms* I doubt it...,

*Hallowicked roars and brings the lifeless Kobald up. Hooks his leg and lifts him up like a fishermans suplex...then flips him down for a sitout powerbomb variation, the Graveyard Smash! Covers 1...2...3! PINFALL! Hallowicked advances!

*Leonard groans* ...Well goo match anyways...*Now he has to listen to Halowicked...*

*Ares gets up* I wuld liek to sa it was fun but...you are a bore to me...*he leaves, Leonard growls*

*Della gets around to where security is for a guardrail opening, knowing who she is she is let thtough and she rolls Kobald out of the ring scooping him up* Are you alright? Awake? *Kobald groans nodding* Kobald tried...Kobald couldnt do it... *Della assures* Koba did his best. Hurt him good. *Grins* Did good. I'm proud of you. *Kobald grins* Ahaha...haha...*nods* Kobald do good... *Della nods* Come on. *Carries him to the backstage herself. Hallowicked begins going up to the commentators booth as well*

*After dropping Kobald off, Della goes in the back to find Quack. Figures he'll be in some weird position probably...and he is, Della speaks up... Quack? *Quack turns* Hmm? Oh Hi Della *flips up* Nice to see you again *Della's eyes are still visibly red from watching those tapes* You too Quack... but I gotta ask... *Quack nods* Saw the tapes? *Della nods* Yes. *Quack adds* Wondering why I didnt take Colin back? *Della pauses...*...Yes.

*Quack sighs*...Della when Colin got that call...it was like nothing else mattered to him, he shut us out, he shut everything out, he just saw his name flashing up in lights, him being a star. I told him he already was a star and a good wrestler in his own right...here...not there. Della believe me I warned him, I warned him about what would happen almost every five minutes, but he wouldnt listen...he snuck out in the middle of the night, leaving us all, turning his back on us for one shot at a bigger league...and he learned a very very hard lesson...and he came crawling back to us, literally I might add, begging to be taken back. Della...I know from what you saw you should be ashamed of me not taking him back...but the honor of the Technicos is an honor we all hold true and dear. It is something we take very seriously...Colin walked out on us, went to a bigger league, disregarded our honor and privelage, our family. He got greedy...he got selfissh, and I wasnt just going to let him come back in after he chose his pat. He had a hard lesson to learn...on the upside...he found Gerard, Tom, and Stigma. Mainly because the portal I gave him after I sent him off, sent him there...on purpose. I hated both men...but I knew Colin would fit in there, if he really wanted to get back to CHIKARA so badly, he would do it on the Rudo side... *Della pauses, then nods* ...That was good of you Quack... it really was... but don't you think... *swipes her eyes again*... don't you think he was punished enough? Just by what happened?

*Quack replies*...I did think it was horrible...but I wasnt going back on my code...I remembered what he did and the path he chose. So I sent him to a group he'd find solace, and...from what I hear they treated Tom well. Perhaps its...swayed my view on them, if only just ever so slightly *Della nods* Okay. I guess. I just needed to. *swipes eyes, angry at herself for still crying*... hear that from you. *Quack nods* Would you like a hug? *Della nods, Quack opens his arms* Come onc*Della walks over and hugs him. Quack pats her back* And...he doesnt only have friends and Tom...he's got you too now doesnt he? *Della nods* Yes. He does.

*Quack nods* Good...well...I have to get ready, I dont know when ill be called, I hope you'll be rooting for me *Della smiles* Are you kidding? Of course I will be. Gives him a light shoulder punch* You're Quack, why wouldn't I root for you? *Quack smiles a bit* Well...Who knows, what if I face Kingston? ...I suppose thats why you have two hands for two signs to hold up? *Della nods* Yep. Gotta root for both if two friends of mine go head to head. *Quack nods* Well...lets hope I get Mantis...I would like to tie him in knots and make him scream... *Della frowns* And I hope you get him too. *Quack nods* Well, get back to your seat, the next match will be starting very soon *Della nods and quickly returns to her seat before the start of the next match*

...
