Vanoss

The bleeding wouldn’t stop, and I could feel it between my legs. Delirious finally snaps and runs over to me. “I’ll deliver it my damn self.” Thankfully Moo, Mini and Wildcat storm into the room. Mini runs over and grabs my hand. I use my other hand to try feeling down below. I feel my you-know-what and feel, “THE HEAD!” I scream and a huge pain rushes through my body. Instead of the mother having to push, the baby was going to do it its damn self. Delirious rips off the nest of blankets and my pants. The baby was coming out fast, and I could feel myself drifting away. The baby was too strong for my body. Mini groans in pain with me. I look at him with plead in my eyes, “Mini don’t. Don’t do this to yourself.”

“I’m helping you.” His face is as pale as mine now. A blood splotch is making its way onto his suit. “No, Mini, it’s spreading on to-!” A huge pain rips at my lower back. Delirious struggles, “Vanoss, baby! I need you to push! On my count.” Delirious's voice abates my pain. “1.” Delirious looks up at me and then back down, “2.” I love that man so much, I hope to god that somehow both Mini and I make it alive. “3!” I push as hard as I can, screaming. I can feel a power surge through me. The same one that killed all the men in the alleyway. It doesn’t do anything though. The pain is disappearing, but the strength of Mini’s grip weakens. He falls to the ground, his eyes glazed. His chest doesn’t move. He’s dead. “No!” Wildcat yells and falls beside him. Delirious grabs the nearest blanket and wraps the baby in it after cutting the umbilical cord. The light crying fills the room, and it takes me away from Mini. Delirious giggles and sticks his finger in the blanket. A tiny hand grabs his pale index finger. “He’s beautiful Evan.” I’ve never seen the emotion on Delirious’s face ever before. It was a mix of happiness and… cuteness. He stands and walks over to me with the baby. It makes little cooing noises. He sets the baby in my arms and I cradle him. “Hello Delphinium,” I greet my child. Delirious laughs, “Del-Delph- What?”

“It’s a beautiful flower I saw in my dream of us together. And the dream may come true.” I frown and look at Mini laying on the ground.

Mini

The sky is a bright white, I feel like I’m walking on a fluffy mattress. In the distance of my jumping sensation I hear a muffled barking. My curiousness gets the best of me and I jump on the foamy stuff and toward the sound. I see a little fluff ball of a dog coming running toward me. So God is a dog, because dog spelled backwards is… Oh. I pet the dog and look for a tag of some kind. I finally hear the rattling and grab a hold of the collar. The golden bone around the dog’s neck says Mochi. I smile at the puppy and let her jump all over me. We play for what seems like an eternity, because it was going to be. I was dead. I could hear a light shouting of my real name, but I ignored it and continued playing with my new friend Mochi. This was my place to be. I did what I had to do in life. I saved my friends- No! My family.

Delirious

Wildcat keeps shouting Craig over and over again. I feel super bad, because it was my fault Vanoss was pregnant and in pain. Mini did a good thing this day and none of us would forget it.

We removed his body for now, but the next day we were going to bury our dear friend. He was in a safer place, and probably happier.

Suddenly Vanoss starts groaning in pain. I hope to god it’s not twins. His body starts glowing and violently shaking. I rush over and grab our baby Del. The light starts fading, showcasing a male BatOwl once again. The yellow sweater he was wearing was now stretched. In the speed of light I ran over and kissed him with our new child and for the first time as men. Everything was normal again! Except for our loss of a friend.

Vanoss

I hold Delphinium close to my chest as we march to the blue insurgent of Delirious’s. Delirious, Moo, Wildcat, and Luke carry the coffin of Mini’s to the back of the large vehicle. We’d all cram into it, along with some people in Miranda’s car. We did not want to look suspicious. Humane Labs wanted our son so he could destroy us and the whole damn world.

After the silent car ride we finally arrive to the burial site, picked out by the Wildcat himself. It was under a cherry blossom tree on the edge of Mount Chiliad. It had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean as well.

Delirious spoke first, and for his whole family. He thanked Mini for the great sacrifice he made. He would forever be remembered in the Banana Bus Gang.

Wildcat goes after Delirious and everyone breaks down into tears. Wildcat was the one to find Mini on the street when we escaped from Humane Labs. The poor man was abandoned by his family, we all kinda were.

After everyone’s speeches I was the first to throw a flower and some dirt onto his coffin. I picked out a blue delphinium for him, because he saved Delirious and Is’ beautiful baby boy. That was when I thought of our child’s full name; Delphinium Craig Dennis

We’ll miss you Craig Thompson, our greatest Tax Man.

Hey, I killed off Mini Ladd, doesn’t mean I hate him.

(Sorry, part of a rant.)

Just because us writers kill someone off, or hurt them terribly doesn’t mean we hate them as real life people. I’m hella sure Melonbread96 doesn't hate Moo, because he gets seriously injured in her book. WE. LOVE. THESE. LOVELY. PEOPLE.

It’s not like the rumor on T.V shows where supposedly the worst actor or actress gets killed off in the show first.

If the person reading this knows it’s them, because they said something about me killing off CaRtOoNz in another book I apologize if I hurt your feelings, but I just want to make things clear.

I LOVE ALL THESE GUYS DEEPLY

(Rant over.)
