Chapter 24: The Grand Championship Tournament, Round 2, part 9
Note: Time for Round 2 to resume! Who will be facing who this round? Will DarkDiamond be called, will the fates be on Dellas side? You'll have to read and find out!
...
*Gavin runs back up to the ring, and gets the next matchup from Mandy* Our next contest, will feature El Generico in his first real match...however, we do not know who it will be against. Will Archibald Peck get revenge for his fallen Veronica? Or is he too injured to compete? And will the monsterous Tursas take his spot for doing just that to Archibald earlier in the night?
*There are no pre match promos, because theres no answer, so Generico's theme starts up, and out he comes shrugging as clueless as them*
Leonard- Well we're playing this by ear at the moent folks, but its no mystery who is joining me, the man who just won a war of a match, Eddie Kingston!
Kingston- Yeah I'm hurtin', but I bet you Ares is hurtin' worse...
Leonard- So Eddie, what do you think, will Archie be ready?
Kingston- Well...I'll be stright with you Leonard, Archie is a goof, a big one but...he does have alot of heart, but Tursas may have knocked that right outta him with what he did. Looks like we're about to find out...*Generico meanwhile OLE's! with the crowd jumping around, flips in the ring ready for battle, with whoever it may be*
*Theres silence for a moment...then...the BDK's theme starts up. Generico sighs...completely revamps his gameplan in his head as Tursas lumber out, and glares in the ring to Generico*
Leonard- And there we have it, Tursas by way of technicality, has taken Archie's place
Kingston- Well I'm not surprised he threw Archie outta the ring like a lawn dart...
*Gavin announces quickly* Tursas may be included in the match, however if Archibald is able to find his way back to conciousness, he will be included in this match, as he did win- *Tursas grabs Gavin by the throat...he shuts up...Tursas lets him go growling*
Leonard- Lets see how Generico deals with the big size of Tursas
Kingston- Generico is extremely talented, not gonna deny that, so lets see how it plays out...
*Generico doesnt even wait until Tursas gets in the ring, as he gets near the apron, he does the No Hands Space Flying Tigersault, backflipping cleanly over the ropes, onto Tursas...who catches him easily, Generico looks wide eyed as Tursas launches Generico back into the ring like a dart, Generico flops hard*
Leonard- Generico tries for an early advantage, but Tursas shows his power and just sends Generico right back where he was
Kingston- Thats not a good sign for Geenerico, alot of his movesets based on that big high flyin' style...
*Generico gets up as Tursas gets on the ring apron, Generico springs on the ropes near Tursas and dropkicks him in the chest, Tursas stumbles off the apron but doesnt fall. Generico springs off the ropes, then sits on the top rope and springs off for an Arabian Bodypress Moonsault, and lands on Tursas again, with Tursas on wobbily legs he falls to the ground with Generico!*
Leonard- There you go, after he got Tursas dazed, he capitalized!
Kingston- Lets see if he can keep that up...
*Generico springs up on the ground, sees Tursas on the ground. Generico takes the opportunity and springs back to the spron, climbing to the top turnbuckle. Generico doesnt even wait for Tursas to get up, he leaps and does a moonsault off the top rope on a down prone Tursas on the outside!*
Leonard- Oh and a great moonsault! Tursas had to have felt that one...
Kingston- This is all fine and good, but I think Generico is about to realize something...
*Generico springs up and points up in the air for his OLE! motion...then realizes something...ok he got Tursas down...HOW DOES HE GET HIM BACK IN THE RING? Generico pulls Tursas, but he cant get him up lies like lifting a mini whale...*
Kingston- That...
Leonard- Oh...yeah I see the problem...
*Tursas gets up, roars and decks Generico hard, Generico stumbles and Tursas grabs him rolling him in the ring, shaking his head of the cobwebs. Tursas gets in the ring, Generico gets up and runs at him, but Tursas Lariets Generico so hard he does a flip and lands on his stomach. Covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Tursas grunts*
Leonard- OH! What a Lariet!
Kingston- I dont know how he kicked it outta that, Im surprised his heads still on...
*Tursas picks Generico up and delivers a hard forearm to Generico's back, Generico falls hard. Tursas springs off the ropes, leaps for a Splash on Generico's back but Generico moves just before impact. Tursas gets on his knees, Generico delivers a big Yakuza Kick to Tursas's head, runs again against the ropes, grabs Tursas's head and spikes him for a DDT! Cover 1...KICKOUT! Kickout not only at 1, but so hard he shoves Generico off like he's a pillow. Generico regains his footing in the corner stunned*
Leonard- Generico has gotten some good offense in, but Tursas's size and durability plays a factor here
Kingston- Generico has to keep on him or he'll be in big trouble. Just attack attack attack, thats what you gotta do against Tursas
*Tursas gets up on his hands and knees. Generico takes the opportunity and leaps on Tursas's back and delivers a Double Foot Stomp to it. Tursas falls back down, Generico pushes him onto his nack, and delivers a standing moonsault into a pin cover 1...2- KICKOUT! another hard kickout sending Genrrico flying, Generico puts a hand on his head*
Leonard- He got to 2 there but barely
Kingston- Generico just cant lose focus here, keep hitting the big man wear 'em down. All the damage Tursas did with one Lariet, Generico knows that he has to keep this up.
*Tursas gets up, Generico jumps in the turnbuckle baiting him. Tursas runs at him, Generico moves, but Tursas grabs him...he may be a big guy...but he isnt stupid, and chucks Generico back in the corner, and slams all his weight into him flattening him in the turnbuckle. Tursas takes Generico, hooks his head under his arm and delivers a Front Suplex to him, Generico lands hard. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Tursas gets up quickly and jumps delivering a Splash to him. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Tursas growls*
Leonard- And there is Tursas's window, and the match might be his to control from here on out
Kingston- Generico's really gonna have to show his durability here, or Tursas is gonna flatten him repeatedly
*Tursas brings Generico up, who fights back with right hands to his middle. Generico dropkicks Tursas into the ropes, runs but Tursas runs too, and delivers a spinning side slam to Generico!
Leonard- Generico is an amazing fighter but Tursas's size and durabiltity has thrown him off his game
Kingston- Generico's gotta think a somethin' quick...
*Tursas lifts Generico up, and powerslams him, positioning him in the ring. Tursas then gets on the ropes, signaling for a top rope splash*
Leonard- Oh boy...
Kingston- If this hits game over!
*Tursas looks like he's ready to jump...then...music starts...marching band music*
Leonard- ...Kingston...you hear that too right?
Kingston- I hear it but I cant believe it...
*Archibald flops through the entrence, marching awkwardly and incohernatly to the ring, ribs taped, head tapes, he looks...well yeah...gets in the ring with a microphone* OH NO...OH NO YOU DONT...this is...my match! And if I have to take the big viking..and spanish man down togeather...then this is a triple threat match! *Tursas hasnt moves yet...seemes...stunned by Pecks stupidity...*
Leonard- I cant believe this, Peck doesnt even seem to know what he's gotten himself into here!
Kingston- Somethin' tells me he'll find out...
*Peck poses and continues* because I, am Marchie Archie! *Generico gets up, springs on the ropes and kicks Tursas in the head, dazing him on the top, making him wobble. Generico then gets down behind Archie as he continutes* And Im gonna- *turns... and Archie is Yakuza Kicked right in the head by Generico...he flops...cover 1...2...3! PINFALL! Generico wins! Generico gets up and bounces out of the ring celebrating he will move on to the next round!*
Leonard- Generico wins!
Kingston- If I were Archie Id run...fast...
*Archie gets up dizzily* Did...the match start yet? *He turns...Tursas staring at him on the top rope, he's regained his footing, and he leaps...and flying Body Splashes Archie hard, Archie goes dead limp, and Tursas gets up staring angrily...TWO MATCHES...he's cost him. Della turns away feeling the pain*
Leonard- OOOH!
Kingston- GOOD. NIGHT!
*Tursas just gets out of the ring, very angry, very upset...cant really blame him...that match was in his control like the last one...Gerard stares* I havent quite seen a deathwish quite as bad as Colins before this...*Tom shakes his head*
Leonard- Well bottom line is Generico wins, and Tursas and Archie are officially out...
Kingston- Lets see how the rest of the field plays out...*leaves as Generico comes up to take his seat*
*Gavin gets back into the ring, announces* Our next contest is the demonic Hallowicked versus co leader of the BDK, and the only remaining member of the BDK left in the Tournament which Im sure they love being reminded of, Claudio Castagnoliiiii! *Della sighs, a bit relieved one of Mantis's cronies wont fight Tiana, because them she wouldnt be saved for sure...*
*Screen flickers to Hallowicked* Claudio a masta gaharah nooga flishka mistka bis tisha gah moda hotag GRAAAAAAH!
*The screen then flickers to Claudio* Hallowicked, tonight, you will fall like everyone else in this tournament, with Ares falling. I am the BDK's last stand, thank you Gavin...and I shall make it my purpose to destroy all in my way. This includes you, and then I shall take the title, in Namen Der Brudershaft. I do hope pumpkin creatures like you get medical insurance...because tonight I shall carve you up, European Style!
*The Solar Temples theme starts up and out comes Hallowicked looking none too happy. Della just glares and folds her arms, she isnt the biggest fan of Claudio, but she'll be on his side for this one...*
*Then the BDK's theme starts up, and out marches Claudio looking focused on the task at hand*
Leonard- Well there aren't many time I'll root for Claudio in a match but I think hes going to have alot of the crowd behind him in this one. Joining me is El Generico, who thanks to Archibald Pecks...foolhardiness...has advanced.
Generico- Si si, muchas gracias Archibald Peck!
*The bell rings and Hallowicked and Claudio circle the ring, they lock up. Claudio gets him in a headlock, Hallowicked spins out for a wristlock, Claudio frowns and spins it right back into a headlock. Hallowicked pushes him off, Claudio rebounds against the ropes, and holds onto them, Hallowicked going for a Sick Kick to the face, and he falls hitting air, Hallowicked gets up quickly, to be met by a running European Uppercut right to the head, cover 1...2..KICKOUT!Claudio sighs*
Leonard- OH! Claudio looking to end this early with that European Uppercut but Hallowicked isnt one to go down easilt
Generico- Si Wicked es muy loco...
*Claudio continues the assault on Wicked, gets him up, and uppercuts him again. Hallowicked falls to a knee dazed. Claudio grabs Wicked and throws him against the ropes, goes for a Lariet but Wicked ducks. Wicked rebounds and runs on the ropes, and charges Claudio, leaps showing good athletisism, and hooks his legs around Claudios neck and delivers a Step Up Frankensteiner! Claudio flips over and lands hard. Claudio gets back up, Wicked runs at him again, Claudio goes for another Lariet, but misses again. Wicked runs and leaps at Claudio again, from the BACK this time, and delivers an Inverted Step Up Frankenstiener! Claudio rolls out of the ring dazed, Wicked runs at him, and delivers a tope Suicida and both flop outside the ring, Wicked getting up roaring triumphant. Della glares folding her arms.*
Leonard- Oh what a flurry by Hallowicked! Two Frankensteiners plus a Tope Suicida! It's Hallowickeds to run with at this point!
Generico- Si muy trouble!
*Hallowicked gets Claudio up and delivers another forearm, gets Claudio to throw him back in the ring, but Claudio elbows him away, sees Hallowicked prone. Claudio quickly gets to the apron and leaps and delivers a flying European uppercut to Wicked from the apron. Both sprawl outside again catching a breather*
Leonard- Oh a great European Uppercut from the apron! Hallowicked is down!
Generico- Ooooooh, Muy European...
*Claudio gets Wicked up to the apron, gets him in the ring still holding onto him but Claudio is still on the apron. Claudio locks his arms crossing them...the ropes still seperating them* ...RIIIICOLAAA! *Claudio lifts Wicked, and slams him for an Apron Ricola Bomb! Very nasty looking*
Leonard- Oooooooh! An Apron Ricola Bomb! Claudio is all serious tonight...
*Generico cringes* Ooooooooow...
*Claudio gets in the ring and covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Claudio growls, gets Wicked up, who gets away and Yakuzas Claudio hard, Claudio still stays on his feet though, but is dazed. Wicked gets him into a corner, runs to the oppoisite end, and springs at him for that Jumping Corner Kick to the chest. Wicked gets Claudio on his shoulders in a firemans carry position, then lets him drop kicking him square in the middle for Go 2 Sleepy Hollow! cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Hallowicked screams frustreated*
Leonard- Oh and Hallowicked shows he is just as serious! Great strength shown with the Go 2 Sleepy Hollow!
*Generico watches, action too close to call*
*Hallowicked lifts Claudio up, gets him in positon for the Graveyard Smash that Fisherman Suplex right into a sitout Powerbomb. Wicked lifts, but Claudio flails out of it, and hooks Hallowicked bringing him up, hooking his head, his body behind his back, and DOWN hard for the Alpamare Waterslide! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Claudio growls frustrated*
Leonard- Oh, the Alpamare Waterslide doesnt do it! I cant believe it!
Generico- Back y forth, back y forth...
*Claudio gets Wicked up, crosses his arms getting him in a powerbomb position* RIIIICOLAAAA! *He lifts, but Wicked flails out of it, kicks Claudio in the middle hard, and gets him in position, lifts him up, and DOWN for the Graveyard Smash! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Hallowicked just stares slack jawed, Della smirks*
Leonard- HE KICKED OUT OF THE GRAVEYARD SMASH!
*Generico's eyes just bug out*
*Claudio gets up dazed, Hallowicked jumps for a Frankensteiner, and Claudio pushes him off. Wicked runs at him and Claudio has an answer this time, gets the Lariet, and smacks Wicked so hard he does a flip onto his back, Claudio gets on top of him, and sinches in the Inverted CHIKARA Special...hard...Wicked screams in pain*
Leonard- Oh out of nowhere the Inverted CHIKARA Special!
*Generico watches, knows its economical*
*Ssoon after, Wicked Taps repeatedly and Claudio gets up grinning in victory. He will advance onto the next round! Generico quietly leaves commentary*
Leonard- And there you have it folks, Claudio gives a ray of hope for the BDK advancing onto the next round!
*Gavin gets the next match...then quietly steps into the ring* I'm usually very excited for match announcements, but this one is a serious one...Della *Della immediatly sits up...its time* The next match...DarkDiamond will go one on one with...GREEN ANNNNT! *Della slumps in her seat, weight of the world lifted. She couldnt have wished for a better outcome*
*Screen flickers to Green Ant, who looks dead serious* Ok Della...its all on me. Tonight Im going to bring your daughter home to you, or Im going to die trying. Im sorry you've had to suffer for this long, Im going to end that right now *bows* Its time to end this...*Della is glued to the screen, but she trusts Green Ant fully*
*The screen then flickers to Dark Diamond with Ultramantis Black, Mantis speaks up* Mhmhmhm, BIG WORDS! From such a little insignifigant Ant isnt it my Darkdiamond? Are you scared in the least of this task? *DarkDiamond tosses her head* Not at all Master. I'll squash him like the bug he is. I'm nobody's daughter, and I don't need rescuing from anybody. I'll bring his exoskeleton back as an offering. *Mikko stares, Tiana couldn't even PRONOUNCE the word exoskeleton before this...but, then again...this isnt Tiana right now. Mantis nods* ...Ooooh...hey, how do you think it would look better, gold plated? silver? ...Though Ruby brings out the blood and destruction look a bit more...*DarkDiamond replies* Gold plated, studded with rubies wherever the blood stains it. And there will be a lot of blood. *Della clutches at Tom's hands. Mantis laughs* Ooooh WONDEROUS! And I shall be at your side...just to watch and nothing more...mhmm...anyway let us go!
*Della takes deep breaths. antis should be banned from ringside, why ever would Mandy allow this?*
*The Solar temples theme starts up and out comes Mantis first with his staff/ Points at at the Entrence proudly. Darkdiamond comes out, cartwheels down the ramp, all the way and landing perfectly on her feet at the bottom, hands outspready for praise. Mantis claps approvingly* Now DESTORY THE ANT! *Darkdiamond nods* Yes master. *Bows, and leaps into the ring. Della has a deathgrip on Toms arm*
*The Colony's theme starts, and out comes Green Ant stoic. He quickly runs over and hugs Della reassuringly* Ill do this for you...I promise...*Della clings tightly* Thank you. Good luck... do what you have to. I trust you. *Green Ant nods and gets in the ring*
Leonard- Ladies and Gentlemen there is a serious stake for this matchup here. DarkDiamond and Ultramantis unfortunatly at ringside will have to face Green Ant. The irony that Green Ant had to go through Obariyon to get to this match. Lets hope he does us all proud and gets DarkDiamond home...
Claudio- I hate both, but I hate Mantis more. This might be the rare time which hell freezes over and I compliment the Ant...
*The bell rings and DarkDiamond rushes Green Ant quickly. Green Ant takes her arm, but she runs on the ropes gripping his herself and delivers a rope assisted arm drag to him elegantly. Green gets up quickly to be met by another arm drag, then she hooks his arm and backflips for a Japanese Armdrag. Green ant frontflips landing on his back, and she pulls him into a sitting position and dropkicks him hard in the back ot the head. Covers 1...KICKOUT! Not that easy, no way. Della's heart skipped just with the referee counting 1...*
Leonard- DarkDiamond has the quick offense here, and Green Ant's going to have to find a way to combat it. Or he may just end up like Saturyne
Claudio- Green Ant is not stupid...he isn t as smart as any of the BDK, but he isnt stupid. We'll see how his style plays out against someone who he doesnt really want to hurt...
*DarkDiamond gets Green Ant up, and Green Ant flips her and sinches in an arm lock quickly. She grunts and flips up, turning the armlock on Green, then he flips, resinching it, then she flips back up again, kicks his arm to break the hold, then delivers a stiff kick to his chest. Green falls back rolling through it, she runs at him, but he runs back, goes for a tope headbutt, but she scouts it jumps putting her knees up just as he connects, and all he hits are the knees. Green Ant rolls away, hard head luckily didnt hurt too much. Darkdiamond rolls through and charges again not giving him a second to breathe, Green gets up, only to be kicked in the ropes hard. She then starts delivering side kicks to his chest while he is in the corner, Green Ant goes limp in the turnbuckle, she runs to the other turnbuckle, Mantis points to charge, and she runs hard at him. Then Green Ant explodes out, and delivers the Flying Headbutt square to her middle. Darkdiamond flops hard, he goes for a cover but she rolls out of the ring quickly. He pounds the mat, and runs to get her for a Tope Suicida, but Mantis gets in front of Diamond, and he stops. The official goes and moves Mantis away, when he does that Green Ant reaches from the apron to pull Darkdiamond back in the ring, when he does that she reaches with a fist and throws some...glittery dust in his eyes, Green Ant recoils back falling on the mat, hit by the blindiing powder. Della's eyes widen, oh no...*
Leonard- HEY! Ref, ooooh their using every underhanded trick in the book!
Claudio- Sometimes you do whatever you can to win...
Leonard- Oh come on Claudio! Not even you can condone this, not with these stakes!
*Darkdiamond gets in the ring quickly for a cover 1...2...KICKOUT! No he will not have it end that way. Green Ant wipes the dust from his eyes, staggering up, but he's met by a flying Yakuza by Darkdiamond sending him down again. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Darkdiamond gets him up again, gets him in the snapmare position for the Snapmare Driver, but then Green screams and lifts her deadweight and drops her for a big Belly to Back Suplex. DarkDiamond Staggers back up, he grabs her and hooks her leg lifting her onto his shoulder and driving her for a Fishermans Samoan Drop. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Green Ant groans, almost. Della groans, she knows it too. She flinches at every painful move for either side, even as she recognizes this is the only way. Tom has his arms around her, comfortingly.*
Leonard- OH! So close!
Claudio- Doesnt seem that dust was enough to keep the Ant down. Likewise for Diamond, Green Ant cannot keep her down...
*Green Ant picks her up, and delivers a headbutt, Della flinches as DarkDiamond returnsbit with a kick to the chest and a forearm. Green Ant stops a minute, roars and headbutts her again. DarkDiamond forearms him again in the head, Mantis shouts* No dont hit him in the head like that! *Green roars and headbutts DarkDiamond repeatedly, rears back for a big one, but Darkdiamond gets out and delivers a big kick to the side of the head, both fall over dazed. Della bites her nails*
Leonard- Oh both down! Who's going to capitalize? Come on Green Ant!
Claudio- Hmmmm...*watches intrigued*
*Green Ant gets DarkDiamond up and delivers a strong Slam. Green goes to the top rope, signaling for his splash, but Mantis begins walking up to the apron. Green Ant points to Mantis threateningly and he backs up slowly. Darkdiamond flips up to the ropes and delivers a Top Rope Frankensteiner! Green Ant splats on the mat hard, Darkdiamond covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Darkdiamond looks a little frustrated. Della takes a shuddering breath.*
Leonard- Oh DarkDiamond almost had him with that Top Rope Frankensteiner!
Claudio- The Ant fights for alot tonight. It makes him more stubborn...always annoyed me...
*Darkdiamond picks him up and Snapmares him, rolls with him then gets up and kicks him hard in the face sending him down hard. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! *Mantis growls and shouts* STAY DOWN YOU STUPID ANT! *Mikko's fists clench, watching Mantis.*
Leonard- This is bad, very bad. DarkDiamond has the upper hand here...
Claudio- I see that...
*DarkDiamond picks him up, and goes for the Snapmare Driver, but Green Ant gets out, lifts her up and and drives her down hard for a Spinebuster! Both go down in the ring. Mantis shouts* WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Finish this FOOL! I command you to FINISH HIM! *While Mantis os ranting...someone has slinked down the entrence and behind Mantis, with a black hood, and black and green pants, standing behind him boring into his head, Mantis unaware. Della's face is tear streaked, watching all this, but notices the figure behind Mantis. Who...?*
Leonard- Wait...what...that...THAT CANE BE...
*Claudio just folds his arms watching*
*Mantis blinks, turns...he removes the hood, green dreadlocks, and a green and black face...and the crowd roars in shock...its Delirious. The crowd goes dead silent. Della stares, whispers to Obariyon* Who's that? *Obariyon stares...gulps* ...Another guy Mantis controlled into the group...a very...powerful guy...
Leonard- ITS DELIRIOUS!
*Claudio continues to stay silent*
*Mantis stares...then screams. Thats all he gets before Delierous takes his head and bashes it on the ring apron, and then into the guardrail hard, attacking him on the outside. Dellas jaw drops*
Leonard- Oh this was a long time coming, Claudio why arent you saying anything?
Claudio- Oh, arent I? I must be caught up in the excitement...
*Delirious takes Mantis, over to Della incidentally, hooks his arms* Bala maga Mantiiiiis! BAAAAAH! *lifts him up, and spikes Mantis on the outside with his own finisher, the Praying Mantis Bomb! Mantis goes limp, Delirious look like he'll continue, but then Claudio stands up at the commentary table, and nods to him, Delirous stares, and growls and walks to the back*
Leonard- ...WHAT WAS THAT?
Claudio- What was what?
Leonard- Did you PLAN THIS? Did you...did you strike up a deal with Delirious, is that why he's back?
Claudio- Leonard your voice is like nails on a chalkboard, please shut up so we may continue watching this entertaining match...
*Leonard fumes, and turns back to the match, but he knows something is up, even Della saw that. Was...that the deal he promised, when he said he would do something beneficial to her? But...the BDK are notorious...evil...yes Mantis is out cold outside, but...something tells her...that cant be good in the long run.*
*Darkdiamond gets up, and sees Mantis out cols on the outside...runs to him, but Green Ant takes her leg, crosses them, spins her over, and sinches the cloverleaf in the middle of the ring. Della's thoughts are cut off, she stares, says quietly* Please... let this be it...
Leonard- Cloverleaf! Coe on let this be it, come on Green Ant!
*Claudio leans back watching*
*Green cranks it, applying pressure, Darkdiamond fights, fights hard...she wont tap! Della gasps, digging her fingers into Tom's arm. She'd rather be feeling the pain herself. Please, please Tiana, tap out! Tom winces slightly at both her and his pain...*
Leonard- Tap! Come on DarkDiamond tap!
*Claudio watchign admiring Darkdiamonds fortitude*
*Green screams pouring it on, wanting the same thing. The crowd gets a 'TAP! TAP! TAP!' chant going. DarkDiamond eventually stops moving, the official checks, rings the bell, shes passed out.*
Leonard- Green Ant has done it! He's done it!
*Claudio silently leaves*
Green Ant immediatly lets go and rolls her over motioning for a stretcher for medical assistance/escape. Della is by the stretcher's side in a flash, as quickly as an 8 month old pregnant woman can be, shooting Green ant a grateful look. Green Ant is right by her nodding* Im sorry I didnt mean to crank it that hard but I had to I mean- *Della stops him You did what you had to. I know. Thank you Green Ant. *Shes about ready to go to the back, then...Gavin shouts for her to stop as he gets in the ring quicklu* Della wait! Wait! *Della stops blinking* I know you want to get DarkDDiamond to the back...but you dont want to miss this...I assure you...the random gods have smiled upon you! Because the next match is Shane Matthews versus Ultramantis Blaaaaaaack! *Della freezes...blinks, wait...but Ultramatis is out cold how is he going to comp-...she grins*
Leonard- ...GO SHANE GO GO GO GO GO! GET OUT HERE!
*Mantis is out cold and 3.0's theme starts up and out bolts Shane Matthews wide crazy eyes Parker with head bangage running after quickly. Della claps, cheers them on*
Leonard- GO SHANE! YOU GOT THIS!
*Matthews picks Mantis up and rolls him in the ring. Covers as bell rings...1...2...3..Shane wins...Shane beat Ultramantis Black! SHANE MATTHEWS ADVANCES! Shane all but explodes, he thought beating Jigsaw was big...this is the biggest win of not his career, his life! His jumps up celebrating, hugging Scott, as Mantis takes a nap. Della whoops and cheers like the rest of the crowd for this. Shane goes and hugs Della* I DID IT! *Scott nods* HE DID IT! *Shane shouts* AND I CANT BELIEVE IT DID IT! *Scott pats his back* I CAN! *Shane blinks* YOU CAN? *Scott blinks...replies* ...NO! *Shane grins* AWESOME! *Della hugs Shane* You did great.
Leonard- WHAT AN UPSET FOLKS! Mantis has finally gotten whats coming to him! DarkDiamoind saved, and the Grand Championship dashed thats to Delirious!
*Grim shows up near Kodama, Obariyon, and Gerard. Doesn't look at them as he asks* How did ye like yer cellmates? *Kodama replies simply* They tried to eat me... *Gerard mutters* Some Elephant named Fred Fred Burger...*Grim nods* Good. *Leans down and grabs Black by his mandibles* I t'ink dey're all lonely wit'out you. Need new company. *Grim vanishes with Black*
Leonard- And Grim takes Black away! Good riddance!
*Meawhile, Della and the rest after that event go to the back. Darkdiamond is struggling. strapped down in the medical room so she can't move. Grim reappears. DarkDiamond hisses at him* Get away from me! Let me go to my master! You can't keep me here against my will, I will destroy you! *Grim simply turns to Della* Dis powder doesnt delete memories...but once in the system it, coats de brain an' really shuits it down, making it suggestive and prone. So all she needs is a good cleaning, she'll be good as new and wont remember a thing *Della loks hopeful* So this will be like a dream she won't remember? *DarkDiamond shouts* Don't you dare! *Kingston and...really all the technicos are in the medbay now watching. Della, Tom, and Mikko are on one side. Grim nods* Exactly...she'll t'ink she took a nap or fell asleep, she'll remember the last thing she was doing as Tiana and then nothin;...here we go...*puts a hand on her head and it glows* *DarkDiamond's eyes roll back, and her body goes limp. Grim also magically gets her out of her gear, zapping her regular clothing back on, and also relieves her of any pain that was inflicted. Death doesnt usually do that sort of thing but...he owes this family more than a handful of favors...*
*Tiana opens her eyes blearily* Mommy? *Della is right by her side* I'm here sweetie...*Tiana sits up rubbing her eyes, sees everyone around* Why's everyone here? I was gonna get some hairties ta make 'Baryon's hair pretty for his fight. *Obariyon goes to her* ...Well...you can do that all you want later *hugs her* Ok? *Tiana brightens, hugging back. She has never gotten actual permission from him before!* 'Baryon, I'm gonna watch you fight an' cheer real loud, promise, 'kay? *Obariyon pauses*...Ummm...about that...*Tiana cocks her head* ...You took a nap and...sort of...missed my tournament match *Tiana stares...droops*... Oh... I'm real sorry 'Baryon, I didn't mean to. *Obariyon quickly acts* No no Its ok see? *holds up DVD* On tape! *Tiana brightens* Kay! *Obariyon nods* But until then we get to see everyone else fight, Kodama's still in it. *Tiana grins* Yay! *Della just turns to all the technicos, mouthing* Thank you. *Tom nods, adding his thanks as well. Kingston beats his chest lightly, Quack bows, the rest all nod, Green Ant especially*
*Mikko trips into a shelving unit. It starts falling toward Tiana. She whirls and blocks it with her forearm, delivering a chop that sends it right back up. Obariyon's jaw goes slack...all the technicos are taken back. Tiana blinks...beams* Wow... watchin' karate movies works!*Obariyon turns*...Uh... *Grim shrugs* I didnt say anyt'ing about the body...a body doesnt forget moves...muscle memory. De body was trained in wrestlin' style an' its stayed dat way...*Quack snorts, says* Mantis whole plan just backfired...because now both of Dellas children can defend themselves...
*Obariyon nods* Mantis and his goons will definitely get whats coming to them thats for sure...*Quack nods* Knowing Mantis he wont stay imprisoned, so until then, we'll keep his cronies in line *Della smiles* At least she can defend herself now... *Quack nods* Plenty...
*Della sighs* Well...Round 2 isnt over yet...we better get out there, so we can cheer on the rest of our friends, come on Tiana we have front row seats! *Tiana beams* Oh neat! I can cheer real loud! *Mikko takes her as the Technicos disperse and Gerard and Obariyon go with Della and Co. Della sighs, Tiana's ok now...but now she has to focus. Her friends arent out of the woods yet. Claudio may have done something to help her, but she doesnt want to see any of the BDK get their hands on that title including him. She just has to cheer for her firneds...and hope no other complications get in the way...but now that Mantis is gone...what could possibly happen?*
