Chapter 29: Intermission Baby
Note: Before the Grand Championship finale happens, theres a slight happening during the intermission thats kind of importiant! So lets get to that, sooner its over, the sooner The Grand Champonship Tournament finally comes to a head!
...
*Matthews is quickly taken to the medical room and the doctos check on his condition, Shane screams when the doctors touch his arm, it feels like its on fire...Della comes in with Tom, she asks* How is he, is he ok? *A medical staff member turns, and replies* He'll live, but he has a tear in his arm muscle...he'll be out of action for a little bit *Matthews shouts* WHAT? *The doctor replies* Fast healing or no fast healing, that arm needs rest *Matthews seeths, Parker next to him, looking pretty upset, Matthews just had an amazing run and GEKIDO just completely derailed him...*
*Della's hands ball up into fists, and she leaves, Tom looks to her* Della- *Della puts up a hand* I just...need a minute ok? *Tom sighs...he knows better than to get in Dellas way when shes angry. Della retreats down the hall...fuming. This is just killing her. All of her friends, even with Mantis gone, are suffering. She gets her daughter back, and immediatly these five unknown people, just...attack her friends...WHY? She walks into a secondary medical room and just lets out a scream. Her friends cant catch a break, even with Mantis gone, its infuriating, it horrible it...she blinks...looks down. Well no wonder nobodies using this medical room...theres a leak. She looks around...doesnt see anything leaking though. Before she can even comprehend it, she feels a sharp pain in her stomach that sends her back, right into a control pad on the wall, which...sends this medical room into lockdown, no one in or out, until the code is overwritten. Della winces as she wobbles to a medical bed...this...this feeling, this pain, its something she never felt before. She falls down onto a medical bed, and it gets worse. This can only mean one thing...the baby...its coming and...THERES NOBODY HERE! She screams* AUUUUUUUGH! *Its official, she is in hell*
*deviANT comes out of the medical closet whistling, this was a great place to hide out, no one even came back here, perfect to disappear and reappear, and make everyones lives miserable. Nothing could get in the way of their plan now. He stops...looks at the locked door, blinks...he doesnt remember locking it. He turns, then jumps as he sees Della is in the room. Della is screaming in pain, nobody's conscious to deliver her baby. deviANT glares* Oh its you, you're the one that tries to get involved in our plans, well if you came to stop us you have another thing coming if-...*He finally sees her giant swollen stomach...and...shes screaming* ...oh no you arent...*Della can't really answer right now, she doesnt even seem to realize he's there. deviANT's eyes widen...he tries to open the door, and it wont...* ...OH...NO...Oh no...ooooh no, GUYS! GUUUUYS! *17 quietly steps out* What are you yelling about, do you want the entire stadium to know where we- *he stops when he sees Della...and sees her stare* ...What? *combatANT comes out* What? Whats going on? *turns, sees Della*...Oh... *assailANT comes out, turns to Della, and laughs pointing* Shes got a bubble! *Shard comes out* What the heck are you blabbering about now assailANT? *Sees Della* ...Please tell me...she isnt doing...what I think shes doing right now...TELL ME NOW...*deviANT groans* I cant!
*Della screams, shes out of it pretty much, but she knows what she needs right now* DOOOOOCTOOOOOOR! *Doesn't even know who's in the room with her, all her senses are practically blotted out by this pain she never experienced before, and is experiencing it just a tad earlier than she though, in a situation she wouldnt think she was in*
*Shard stares, then screams* Shes having a BABY! What do we do? We arent supposed to do this! *combatANT growls* Dont look at me, it wasn't MY bright idea to hide in here! *deviANT yells* Oh SURE! Blame me right? I just knew she would be having her baby in this room at this very moment! *assailANT just laughs* Bubble Baby! *The arguing continues until 17 finally says* SHUT. UP. *And the room goes quiet...aside from Della's constant screaming. 17 stares at her...then says* Look...we dont have a choice here. I dont want to help this woman, but she's in labor, and the door wont open. *He takes in a deep breath* Despite the fact she allies herself with them, this could end badly if we dont at least deliver the kid and get out of here...*deviANT sighs* Well 17...what do we do here? *17 turns* Shard get some warm towels... *Shard nods* Alright... *He goes to get them, 17 continues* combatANT...you are strong willed...you're delivering the kid...*combatANT stares...shouts* WHAT? *17 crosses his arms* You're saying you arent strong enough to do it? That you are so tough, but cant do this? * combatANT stares...the growls* I hate how you can work this...fine! Fine Ill do it... *17 turns again* assailANT...hold her hand...*assailANT nods* Oh thats an easy job! *He holds her hand , and Della practically CRUSHES it, assailANT is silent for a few seconds...then speaks up*...hehehehe..hahaha...OOOOOOOOW! ...hehehehe...AAAAAAHAAAOOOW! ...Wheeeeee...OOOOOOOOW! *Shard puts a towel on Dellas head. combatANT takes a deep breath* You SO owe me for this 17...*turns to Della* Um...uh...if you can here me... push. Yeah...I think thats what your supposed to do, push!
*Tom walks down the hall. He figures he has let Della cool off enough, time to go and console her. He passes by this medical room, and turns his head slightly...and sees Della in there, on her back, screaming in pain DELIVERING, and a roomful of Gekido. His mind absolutely blanks, and he slams a fist into the glass. But this is thick bulletproof glass made for these medical rooms. Tom links his fists together, imagines his father's face, and swings and swings*
*Della groans and pushes hard, combatANT nods* Ok good, thats a good push and- OH SWEET MOTHER OF WHAT IS THAT!? AUUUUUUUGH! Ooooooooh thats something I never wanted to see in my life! Ever in my life, but there it is! AUUUUUGH! *Shard sighs* Oh it cant be that bad I mean- *looks* AAAAAAAUUUGHH! Ok it is that bad! I'm sorry! *deviANT shakes his head* Oh for the love of it cant be that- OOOOOH THERE GO THE EYES, THERE GO THE EYES! *17 glares* Will you all stay focused? *deviANT glares* Well why dont YOU take a look? *17 replies simply* Im not an idiot...*deviANT growls, at least he and Shard can move away from that...combatANT is stuck there, he screams* I HATE YOU ALL! *assailANT just continues to laugh* I Found out how many bones are in my hand! Theres alot! *combatANT pleads* Oh Please PUSH AGAIN! If pushing gets this over with faster I think we both agree, WE WANT THIS OVER!
*Della gives one last giant scream, then slumps as the baby slides out into combatANT's waiting hands, and Della passes out from the pain. combatANT pauses, and looks down, just like that...he's holding an infant...he blinks. assailANT laughs* Dawwwww...BABY! *Shard shakes his head* ...A disgusting disgusting miracle... *17 looks away* Good, its delivered, thats over with... *deviANT sighs* I think we're supposed to clean it off and...cut that hose thing on its stomach *assialANT frowns* Aww but that looks cool... *17 takes a pretty wobbly combatANT over and they begin cleaning the child, combatANT is shaking some cobwebs* That...happened...*17 sighs* Yes it happened, now snap out of it...
*deviANT looks at the kid* So..lets get a good look at the thing... *looks down at it, assailANT comes over* Oh I wanna see it! *Goes over shaking his hand to try and get feeling back in it...if possible. Shard comes over too...all five look down at the baby. The baby opens its eyes a little, then stretches, wailing. Its black curly hair is matted down, still damp, and it has the prettiest, liquid brown eyes that squinch shut as she screams. deviANT groans holding his antenne* Make it stop! *17 frowns* Like I know how! *Shard thinks* Ummm...the mom right the mom makes it stop! *combatANT roars* The moms out cold! *assailANT beams* She still crushed my hand though! *combatANT growls* Oh for the love of...*Holds the baby wrapping it* What am I supposed to do, rock the thing? *Shard sighs* Its a girl genius... *combatANT glares* Dont make me hurt you...fine...Ill try that...*rocks it a little. Nope, no change. combaANT groans* That didnt work, now what? *deviANT thinks* Um...maybe its hungry? *combatANT sighs*...Oh well thats sure perfect... where are we going to find a stupid bottle? *17 said simply* We're locked in so we arent... *deviANT pulls antenne* There HAS to be a way to make it stop right now... *assailANT suggests* Lets sing a song! *17 replies* Shut up assailANT...
*combatANT gets an idea* Here let me try something...*Goes over...smacks assailANT over the head, his eyes spin and he WHUMPS to the ground, combatANT sees if that makes the baby stop crying. However, the Baby's too young for that to be funny. combatANT frowns* Well thats usually my way of cheering myself up... *Antenne droop near her reach, and quicker than a hiccup, the baby gets one in her mouth and instantly shuts up. combatANT growls* AH! HEY GET OFF OF- *17 cuts him off* No you idiot! It shut her up...for our sanity's sake...keep that antenne in her mouth... *combatANT seeths* I have gotten stuck with the WORST jobs today... *assailANT replies* Hey my hand got smushed an you smacked me on the head! *combatANT smacks him on the head again sending him down* You didn't see what I saw...*shiver* dont think about it dont think about it...
*The baby's eyes drift closed, and she relaxes, drifting off to sleep. assailANT gets back up* Dawwwwww *combatANT glares at him* SHUT. UP. *Shard blinks, finally realizing*...Anyone else hear that noise? ...sounds like thunder...*deviANT nods* Yeah just noticed that through all of this...*points to door* The doors locked and someones trying to get in...badly...*There is at least a bit of a spiderwebbing of cracks going on in the glass, no matter how thick it is. Tom's a big guy, and he's losing it fast. deviANT stares* I think thats the dad...I think he wants to get in *combatANT sighs* Good, maybe he wants to thank us, we delivered the kid and everything...I got my hands more than dirty...so...we're locked in. *Shard goes over* Theres a keypad over here...whats the password? *17 sighs* Does it look like we know? *assailANT comes over* Oh, I got it! *Stares...and smashes the control panel with a fist, Shard shoves him away* You idiot! You just broke it! Now we'll never- *a voice rings over them 'Control Panel Broken, Lockdown disengaged', Shard blinks* ...What the hell kind of security system is that? *assailANT nods* A good one!
*Tom rushes in, only now he's split between going to his unconscious wife, or grabbing the baby from the Gekido. He stands there for a second. combatANT goes over sighing* ...So yeah...*Holds out kid* Happy Baby Day or whatever-something...you're welcome. *Tom snatches her out of combatANT's hands and just as immediatly, slams a fist into his head* WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? *combatANT recoils* Guh... *He falls to the ground out cold. Shard stares* HEY! *assailANT gets in front of combatANT* Hey! Thats not a thank you...I dont think. Hey wait a minute combatANT thanked me like that a few times! *17 sighs* Im not surprised...*Tom, holding the baby in one arm, sweeps assailANT aside with a powerful blow of the other* Thank you? For what? For abusing mine and Della's good friends? For cowardly sneaking up on them when they were down? *assailANT flops down next to combatANT* *deviANT stares*...Really? *Goes up next* Look I understand you're in a bit of a blind rage and all due to the wife in labor and the newborn baby and all...but come on you HAD to knock out the two biggest guys of the group? You know who has to drag them out of here? ME...and thats just perfectly fun to do given their both bigger than I am. Im not exactly a big guy like you to be doing that! so thanks alot I really appreciate that...*Shard gulps* deviANT...I dont think you should be telling him off *deviANT sighs* Look Im going to- *He gets a clonk on the head next, and joins the growing pile of unconsious GEKIDO. Shard stares, 17's already gone. He slowly drags deviANT away onto a cart and drags assailANT and combatANT too* Im just...going to...go now...*leaves quickly*
*Tom turns away and over to Della. Then quickly calls down the hall* I need a doctor in here! *The Doctors come quickly by Toms call* The baby was delivered! Help my wife! *The doctors quickly rush in and tend to Della, but luckily, she is just spent from the delivery. They check the child, and she is fine too. Tom leans against the wall with a sigh, thank goodness...Della jerks awake* AUUUUGH PREGANANT IN LABOR! *To quickly rushes to her* Its ok honey its ok...the baby's here *Della stares* She is...s-shes ok? *Tom nods* Yes yes, here *he gets the baby, and hands her to Della. Della stares...and tries not to tear up...her baby, shes here, and she looks perfectly healthy. She has no clue how though, she assumes with the doctors all around they found her in time.*
*Meanwhile Grim comes in* Oh dere you two are, just wanted to let you know the next match will be starting soon, de Tecnico's will be wantin' ye out dere wit' de baby...*he blinks...then speaks up* It came NOW? *Della's hair is all matted and damp from sweat, it's a mess everywhere, and Tom is just staring at this baby in Dellas arms, stroking her cheek like she's made of glass. Grim sighs* Do ye want me ta keep dis a secret or- *Della speaks up tiredly* No...no thats not fair to them, let them know now...I can handle it. *Grim nods* Okay...*He leaves. Soon the sound of what sounds like a stampede comes toward the room, and all the technicos flood in. Della stares...and takes a deep breath* Um...the baby...came early...*Jigsaw stares* Um...we can see that... *Storm grins* Neat! *Colin claps his hands togeather* ...Alright! Im an Uncle to another kid! I get to teach this one how to be tough *Gerard mutters* The baby's fresh out of the womb and its already tougher than you... *Colin turns* What was that? *Gerard shakes his head8 Nothing...*Della tries to smoothe back her hair. All it does is sproing out in all directions. She sighs* Well, I hear the final match is starting soon...come and see her...
*The first one that comes up to her bedside is Kingston, goes up and looks at the baby, silently. He's gone through alot lately...but his anger level he's had, well he looks at this kid and it goes right down to zero for the moment. He takes one of its little hands and kisses it, smiles...a gentle Eddie Kingston, take a picture. He speaks up* ...She's beautiful Baby Girl...shes a beautiful baby girl...*The baby's hand squeezes just a little in her sleep. Kingston smiles slightly* Shes already got herself a grip, tough like her parents...*Della smiles*
*Storm pats toms leg* Hey Tom congradulations! I wonder if she'll like me...what do you think? *Tom smiles at him* Too early to tell. *Storm nods* Well...hey you like me, an I can make funny faces at her...by just...plainly staring at her...*Tom smiles and nods* I know she'll like you Storm...
*Green Ant goes over with Soldier and Fire Ant. Green speaks up* A beautiful girl Della...anytime you need help, Fire Ant can keep up with a energized baby, and Soldier Ant can take as many diaper changes you neeed *Soldier Ant salutes and nods. Della smiles* Thank you... I think I want to take care of her myself, or try anyway but I'll always keep that in mind...
*Kobald, Obariyon and Kodama come up next, Kobald crawls on the bed sniffing the baby curiously* Ooooh...its a mini Della! *The baby opens her eyes, and screams. Kobald jumps back* GYAH! *falls back on the bed, sits up...droops* Oooh...she no like Kobald...*Della sighs weakly* No, Koba. She's just hungry thats all. She is too young to know what to be afraid of...*Kobald stares* ...Ooooh *Obariyon sighs* Yeah well when she learns to be afraid of us... *Kodama replies* Oh Im sure if she gets to know us as a baby she wont be scared of us...Della will make sure of that...*Della nods* Absolutely. *Kobald laughs* Oh good, then I get to help and save her from Bathtimes from the evil Mommy! ...*He blinks...click click click...DING!* Ooooh...we're doomed...*Della grins, Kobald gulps* ...AHA...very doomed *Kodama nods* You're goig to need a bigger boat...
*Della gives a weak chuckle. Coughs.* Um. Need to. Um. Feed her. *Kobald nods* Ok...*blinks, doesnt get it...Kodama drags him off the bed* Ill...explain it to him...best I can later...*Della nods with a sigh* Thanks Koda. *Storm nods* But we gotta get back, you gonna watch on the big screen? The Final Four you know...*Della nods* I will. Promise. I'll be cheering for you. *Kingston nods* Ok then *Storm nods* ...well we gotta go...*They all leave, Della starts to feed the new little girl, watching the screen. She urges Tom to rejoin the match and cheer on her behalf, she'll be just fine. Reluctantly, he kisses her on the head and returns. He wont dare tell her how the baby actually was delivered, or the Tecnico's, there are more importiant things to worry about right now to worry them about this right now. The Grand Championship Tournament...its finally going to come to a head, and CHIKARA by the end of it will have a Champion...he's just hoping its a good one...*
