Something Priceless

Surprise: 🎩➕

Two beings wrapped in coffee black and creamer white coats sat hand in hand at a bar in the tundra. It wasn't a pleasant place to be, but it will due.

Two soldiers sat to their left drunk off their minds.

"Naw naw, listen," said one. "The Toppat Clan won't even *hic* stand a chance against us, dude."

"Yeah," said the other. "They... They don't even realize that *hic* that we know about their secret jungle base. Do they think they can just launch a rocket into orbit and be *hic* free to do whatever they want?!"

"What're you two idiots doing?!"
Whoops, drinking on the job and the boss found out~
"We need to ship out. RIGHT NOW! You guys are the worst! Come on!"

As the soldiers left, the coffee black and creamy white duo latched onto the chopper's door and removed their masks.

"We're SO takin' down da gov', yeah?" asked Delara in her white coat. Henry smiled as he removed his coffee black hood.

"Can a bird fly, dear?"

"Let's hop to it den!"

It was three hours before the scheduled launch when Henry and Delara were kicked off the chopper unknowingly. At least they landed not that far from the government's secret base. Time to tackle the cliff.

Henry decided to abuse the physics engine to launch them to the top. They were lucky no one saw them. One of the tents had a tear in it. Maybe there's something good in there.

Delara rummaged through her pockets as she looked for something to use.

"Hey, I got yet ta test out dis lag switch. Shall we test it 'ere?"

Henry leaned in and kissed Delara's forehead.

"If this works, it'll be perfect to use," he replied. Delara smiled. "Ready?"

"You know it."

With the flip of the switch, they started running, but it looked like they were running in place. The soldier was confused as hell as he kept shooting the supposed targets.

Delara was snickering as she and Henry went inside the tent. There was a MASSIVE red tank and Delara was all over it.

"Please, honey, you just HAVE ta let me play with dis toy!" she said as she went up and hugged the tank as best as she could. "I simply CAN NOT surpass the chance ta cause mayhem with DIS big bad boy! Please!"

Henry chuckled as he calmly walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"You may, but you must tell me how you want to play with it first."

Delara giggled as she took out a device.

"Dis be de equivalent of da scrambler," she said as she leaned into Henry. "All I gotta do is attach it to dis big bad boy an' let da fun begin. Wha' ya say, honey? Shall we... destroy dis place?"

"I don't see why not, but wouldn't your brother get hurt?"

Delara took out something the size of a chopstick and jabbed it into the giant red tank. A flag with an antenna came out with Delara's brand name of C&D as the antenna turned green while blinking.

"Not when I got dis li'l t'ing 'ere~"

"What is it?"

"When Charles be within range a dis, it'll tell 'im ta get da fuck outta 'ere. I'll also have one in case we fly by 'im, yeah? I'm not too sure if 'e'd li'e dis, but we could always capture 'im an' try an' get 'im ta join us as a family, yeah?"

Henry thought about it for a moment.

"He would most likely hate us for life, but knowing our luck, he might keep in touch with us just so our daughter and his niece can see each other."

"True, but if she does want ta join da flip side, would you be okay with it?"

"...yeah. It's her choice, though I'd prefer that she remained by our side, you know?"

"Totally. Ready fer chaos?"

"I'm always ready for chaos."

With that being said, Delara attached her device to the big red tank. Boy did it cause chaos, but even Delara and Henry didn't plan for a giant egg to appear and fight the big red tank.

Good thing it at least sent them flying OUT of danger. The moment they landed on solid ground, all be it after crashing into a wall, a voice could be heard.

"DELARA VARON!!! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU DO!?!"

"Oh shit, we pissed off my brother," said Delara as she got up. She then grabbed Henry's hand and started running. "We gotta bolt, NOW! Forget plans on capturin' 'im! We'll do dat in li'e ten er so years when it's safe!"

"That was your brother?!" Henry said as he followed Delara. He couldn't believe what he heard; did The Toppat Clan hear him too?! "He's louder than when you had the megaphone!"

"I know! I know! There's a reason why I stayed relatively good throughout the years!" she said as she climbed on a tank and threw the soldier out. She helped Henry get in and they bolted out as fast as the tank could take them. "I may be the trigger-happy sibling, but you NEVER want to piss off my brother! Shit, he's gonna kill me if he finds us within 50 miles of here!"

God damn! If only Charles was a Toppat. Henry would've LOVED to have someone like that in the clan!

I mean, someone that the all mighty scary Delara feared who also sounded like a fucking fire-breathing dragon!? That's insane!

But seeing how they got on his bad side NOW... Yeah, they should be running before Henry has a completely DIFFERENT reason as to why he should never fuck with Delara's family in the worse way possible.

When they were about maybe five or so miles from the space station and about a hundred or more miles from the government base, Delara finally took a breather as the tank got closer to the base.

"Oh my god," she said as she leaned forward and rested along the tank.  "I thought for sure that Charles was gonna tear us in half."

"Earlier he called you Delara Varon... like Vanessa Varon... Do you know why?"

"Nope. I don't know why. Maybe 'e wants me ta 'ave dat las' name? I don't know an' I'm tok scared ta see 'im right now."

"Alright," ssid Henry as they got closer to their base. "Well as my Right-Hand Lady, I'll be taking care of you from now on and we will hopefully find Charles in a better state of mind."

"Yeah. Me too."
