Jessica and Akihiro were together practically all the time after that. Throughout training, during breaks, over the weekends, and soon, Jessica was done with training and was ready to move on. Tabane soon came to them with a surprise. She said that Akihiro was assigned to travel the world and inspect the IS's!
"Hey, Aki-kun!" Tabane yelled.
"What is it Taba-chan?" Akihiro asked.
"I want you to inspect IS's around the world, okay Aki-Kun?" She smiled.
"Where am I being assigned to exactly?" He questioned. Her answer made his heart race faster than Sonic the hedgehog.
"Well, wherever Jessica goes of course!" She grinned.
"R-Really?" He smiled.
"Yup!" She answered. He pulled her into a huge embrace, kissed her on the forehead, and then dashed away to tell Jessica the news. He came in to see his trainees all stretching.
"Everyone, I have some bad news." He said. All eyes came to him as he lifted up his head to stare directly at Jessica. "Today is the last day for training for all of you. Graduation from this training facility means you are prepared to make the next step. Some of you are my best friends and one of you is even my girlfriend. I wish you all the best of luck, as you should for me, because, and here is the bad news for some, good news for one, I will also be graduating from working here too. I have been promoted by Tabane herself to travel around the world to spy on IS's in other countries and watch the growth of this magnificent invention. Now, would Jessica Whee- I mean- Sansone please come up to the stage?" Jessica stood up and walked up to the stage. When she got there he grabbed her hand, smiled at her, and continued. "As for my destination. I don't know yet. The only thing Taba-chan told me was that my destination…" He looked into Jessica's eyes deeply. "Anywhere that you are."
"Wha… What?!" she gasped.
"And in order for me to travel and be with you we have to do something first. Now, Baron-" He says as a tall, old man walks around the corner. His tuxedo falls around his back as he walks and his blue eyes stare into the crowd with difficulty. His grey hair sits, regal and proud, on top of his head.
"Yes master? Is it time?" Baron grinned.
"It is old friend, it is." Akihiro smiled nervously.
"Alright. Miss Sansone, if you would just come with me." Baron held out his arm showing a bright room that has a curtain covering it.
"And if everyone could just come out here with me. We are going to take a little run over to my favorite area." Akihiro grinned. They arrived at the destination in a short while after a short run to the training facilities parking lot. They all got into one of 10 stretched limousines and drove off.
-Jess- Meanwhile, Baron and Jessica sit in the room. Baron opens the curtain and a ton of silk, colorful, beautiful dresses sit there. Some are a bit too skimpy for her liking though. "Uhh… This is lady Tabane's collection. She can be… eccentric… with her clothing." Baron said nervously.
"Nah, she's the most modest person in the world…" Jessica looked around the room.
"This way, Miss Sansone, my masters' collection is this way." Baron guided her to a beautiful, ivory door. The door opens, showing beautiful, pearl colored dresses.
"Wait, Baron, this can't be right… Th-these are…" Jessica gasped.
"Wedding dresses, he bought these specifically for you." Baron explained.
"B-but… he never…" Jessica's heart started beating faster and faster.
"Oh, that reminds me. Here's a video my master wanted me to show you." He smiled. He put up a hologram video and played it for her. It started off black, but soon a voice spoke.
"Hello. Robot designate: Lima Omega Victor Echo, in short love. Commencing room scan to check if situational needs have been met. Situation: Only life signs of Designate Jessica Sansone, and Designate Baron Charles." Said the metallic, robotic voice. A red light came across the room from the ceiling, starting from one end to the other. "Scan complete. Comparing data from computer motherboard…" A whirring sound comes out of the ceiling. "Situational needs met: Commencing hologram message."
"Hey, there Jess, how's it going? So, this message is meant for you, and you only, Baron helped me make this so he watches too, if he wants too, he already saw it but with more color. So, here I go, the reason I asked for you to be brought here, with my new dress collection is because I want to marry you of course. I know that this is usually done face-to-face, but shyness is still a part of me. And I know engagement comes first, but I don't want to wait, sorry for my impatience. I want to be the man at your side, no matter where or when. I want to be with you, and only you, forever. I know that's seriously cheesy but I love you that much. I know it's only been two years but I feel like the greatest, and luckiest, person in the world when I'm near you. You are the one thing in my life I can't do without." Akihiro's hologram said "The dresses I picked for you are already paid for by me, and some of them were even made by me and Tabane… you'll know which one's Taba-chan made… Mine are at the far back, last rack. Remember when I had your measurements taken? I kept those, but Tabane had that idea, with an ulterior motive. She told me your measurements and she also asked your dress size. She did that in case this happened and I wanted to marry you. So, we, me and Tabane, bought and made these dresses for you. You choose which one you want to wear. And the wedding will be at the address depicted on the piece of paper in each one of the dresses."
"End transmission." Said the robot voice. Jessica immediately ran to the back and something caught her eye.
"This one." She smiled.
"Nice pick, Madame Wheeler. Master made that, thinking you'd like it the most." Baron grinned.
"I don't think any other would be better." She replied, eyes glowing gold.
-Akihiro-"Now if everyone would just sit still, I have something to tell you. By now you may already have guessed but I'm getting married to Jess today." Akihiro smiled. Girls, 'awwed' and clapped for him and he bowed down in thanks. "Calm down ladies. My best man should arrive soon…"
"Well, well, if it isn't good old Wheeler. The man whose life I saved. You would be f***ing dead if it weren't for me. You better be grateful you little kid!" Said a man with a thick Irish accent.
"Luke Lincoln, how's the work progressing?" Akihiro grinned.
"It's going better than yours, as always. Just kidding, although I don't have to keep secrets. I just made legs that increase muscle function through the same technology as your eye though it's also a prototype. And for the last time it's Logan!" Lincoln joked.
"So things are going swimmingly for you. Let's see, I am getting promoted and married at the same time." Akihiro laughed.
"Oh, you were always talking about Tabane while you were in Ireland, I didn't know you two were like that already. Personally, I thought Chifuyu would be a better match for you." Logan murmured.
"No! It's neither of them, not that I never thought about them like that but, never really acted on it. Chifuyu and me protecting Tabane, Me and Tabane having fun with technology and science, it was all fun but they were always busy. My soon to be wife is… drum roll ple-" Akihiro said.
"Get the heck on with-" Lincoln yelled but was interrupted by a loud scream from the girls.
"Jessica Sansone!" They all screamed in unison.
"Dude, how stinking stupid are you? Chifuyu told me about what you and Jessica do, every day after every practice finishes. And the way you act around her, stinking face it man, you're seriously obvious." Logan grinned.
"Wa-was it really that obvious?" Akihiro pushed his pointer fingers together.
"Dude, you are with her every day, after every single practice, you are always talking to her and just only her! I mean, you couldn't get more obvious!" Lincoln rolled his eyes.
"Just because you're 7 years my senior doesn't mean you treat me like an adolescent." Akihiro grinned.
"Well it's good to see you again." Logan slapped Akihiro on the back.
"Same here dude." Akihiro smiled. As they caught up for the last time, a beautiful, golden limousine appeared on the horizon and parked up in front.
When the car pulled up everyone was in place, Tabane even showed up to be the best lady, despite all the work she had. They set up the wedding area at…
"Imperial Palace Garden East! This is where…" Jessica gasped.
"Yup, this is where we had our first date. And so I specifically chose this one for our marriage." Akihiro said in her mind as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Interesting. It was a really good idea, our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship starts where it becomes more." Jessica thought.
"And by the way, I can only speak to you through my mind, I can't see you while using telepathy." He added.
"So no bad luck for us?" Jessica asked.
"Well, bad luck will always be there but we'll make it through all of that together." He answered.
"Good, because marriage wouldn't be fun without teamwork." She smiled.
"Jess, it's time to come outside, it's time for the bride to be shown to the groom." Tabane said.
"Here I come honey." She thought. When she came out it was in a beautiful, wide, golden, and long dress, so much that it touched the ground. She walked up and looked at Akihiro, who was dumbfounded.
"You chose the dress I made?" He asked.
"I didn't see any that could've been better. Where's the preacher?" She replied.
"I wanted to do something more symbolic, I don't want anyone else bringing us together but ourselves." He smiled.
"So what do we do then?" She grinned.
"I'll read you my vows, and then we'll both do the honors of marrying ourselves to each other." He winked.
"Hurry up you two lovebirds! I have a little kid to get back to!" Logan screamed.
"Jessica Sansone, I used to believe that love was something that could only bring me down. That all changed when I met you, you became my Golden Sun, that shined my way through the darkness I used to be in, you made me who I am today, and I will always be happy to stand at your side. You are the best thing that's ever happened in my life, and even on the day of my death, I want to be at your side." He smiled. "Jessica Sansone, do you take me to be your lawfully wedded husband? Who will love you forever, 'til death do us part?"
"I do." She smiled widely, tears of joy in her eyes "And do you, Akihiro Wheeler, take me, Jessica Sansone, as your lawfully wedded wife? To have, and to hold, 'til death do we part?"
"I do." He smiled.
"Then, you may kiss the bride." She puts her arms around him. He lifts her golden veil and then pulls in her head as they kiss. Baron Charles takes out a sign and puts it on the back of the car. All the girls' line up trying to catch the golden lilies bouquet, but Jessica throws it so hard it lands in Logan's legs.
"CRAP!" He screams as all the girls run after him. "I'm already married! I have an eight year-old kid for Pete's sake!" He threw the bouquet back into the crowd.
Jessica and Akihiro Wheeler drove into the sunset in a beautiful golden limousine straight to the airport. A few days later they arrived in Britain, but soon found out something… "Aki. I think I'm sterile." Jess says.
"Well, that's okay, Tabane is coming into town today to check on progress. If you want we could have her extract an infertile egg from you and some of my sperm and fertilize them. Plus my dad's sperm was unable to attach to a woman's eggs, so it might be my fault." He suggested.
"Oh…" she nodded.
"However, the kid can't know that it's practically a test tube baby. That would be really bad for it." He explained.
"Agreed." She wondered how he knew that it would be hard.
"Because, I was one myself." He used telepathy. She gasped and immediately hugged him.
"At least you got the chance to live, my brother…" She frowned. "My brother died in childbirth."
"Let's stop with this sob fest and agree that we both are happy to be alive." He grabs her head and pulls it into his chest. He kissed the top of her head and then lifted her up into his arms, like she was a princess, his princess, and he was her prince.
So, once Tabane came, they told her of Jessica's situation and their plan. "No problem, I can do that." Tabane nodded, and got to work, and a few days later Jess took a pregnancy test and it was positive!
"Aki! It worked!" She yelled.
"Of course it did. It was my fault not yours." He smiled.
A few months later, Jessica had some more news. "Aki, they're twins!"
"Really?!" This is amazing!" He smiled and kissed her more. Just then Tabane came in with her own news.
"Umm…" She stares down. "I came across something that is a pretty big malfunction. They are twins, yes, but they are also boys. Sorry, but you won't have any IS pilots, unless you'd like me to do the process again."
"I think that once is enough." Jess smiled.
"But, you two wanted pilots right?" Tabane asked.
"No, we wanted children, a pilot would have been nice, but a pilot child is unnecessary, fun, but unnecessary." Akihiro smiled.
"Well, alright then, I was hoping your genes would make amazing pilots that I could watch and get information from, but that's fine." Tabane said.
They soon had gone to a hospital in Britain and met an interesting family. The Alcotts were very pompous and flaunted anything they had, but once you really got to know them, they were kind, and great helpers. The twins were born 2 weeks before, but due to an unknown cause, were sick and in the nique. When they left something odd happened. The red string of fate was attached from the Alcott's daughter, named Cecilia, to the Wheeler's son, Jordan. On the way to leaving they grabbed the other's hand and didn't let go. Their vicegrip was unbreakable, and the fathers had to pry their hands away from each other. They went their separate ways and Aki and Jess left to go to Italy, and Jess became the Italian representative contender. Then life got interesting. One day the children went up to her IS, she had just renamed Golden Sun. First, Dylan touched it, and it glew brightly, causing him to run away. She watched this happen and gasped, her child could pilot an IS? But he was just a baby boy, and therefore shouldn't be able to do it? She picked up Dylan, as he ran away, but the light drew Jordan nearer. Jordan did the same and the same reaction happened but Jordan just averted his eyes. He turned around and smiled at Jess. He crawled to her and then grabbed her legs and pulled himself up to hug her legs. "Akihiro! You have to see this!" She yelled.
Akihiro ran to her "What happened?" Jordan smiled at him and crawled back to the IS and touched it again, and it activated. "No way… I thought this might happen, but there was a very low chance and it's very rare…"
"What is rare honey?" She says nervously.
"Well, when Tabane had to modify our reproductive cells to live longer, it made them twin clones of us. That caused them to have 75% or 25% of our genes. Jordan has 75% of yours, and that must include the ability to pilot an IS. As for Dylan, he has a minor chance of having it."Akihiro smiles.
"Dylan activated it too!" She said.
"Really? He has only 25% of your genes he shouldn't be able to, unless he also has the IS pilot gene." Akihiro said. Jess put Dylan down and went up to the IS and deactivated it. "Well, we have got a lot to hide from Tabane, don't we."
"What? Why are we going to hide this?" She asked.
"Because Tabane may be good at keeping secrets, but she's the one that modified the genes, she'll find out that they are clones, and therefore not really humans. And she also might take credit for it and release it into the world." Akihiro whispers.
"Oh...Right." She thinks of a life where she is not really a human, but she can't, it'd be too harsh.
So, once they got older, they trained them in the basics, teaching them the way to control IS's but didn't actually get them IS's. Soon, they went to a tournament that Chifuyu was in. Dylan, the ever curious one, saw Chifuyu talking to some people. Dylan saw a truck and jumped in the back, while the family was looking for him. Jordan saw his face in the truck's back area, and in a bag, as the truck drove away. He pointed at the truck, but his family didn't listen. They were only five, and had just finished preschool. They moved to Britain, and then started training more, and then Jordan moved into 1st grade. He had an amazing reunion with Cecilia, they knew each other for mere seconds but they acted like they knew each other for their whole lives. They helped each other when need be and were always together, inseparable until that last bell rang. Aki and Jess still traveled sometimes with him over the summer, but didn't have the heart to rip him away from Cecilia. In middle school though, they were attacked. They decided to pay 1 million dollars to the Alcotts to keep him there with them. Being around was too dangerous to Jordan, so they traveled around the world and stayed away from Jordan, so that the group, known as Phantom Task, would follow her, and not have Jordan in the crosshairs. They'd visit for every major holiday, and his birthday, but mostly stayed away. Jordan understood that he was being protected, and loved his parents, and, even though he wished that they were there more, he appreciated their love and protection. However, he still wished for one day when he could be reunited with them for more than just a week, a day when he could hug his parents without the thought of an organization trying to hurt them. There was only one thing on his mind in the case of that idea, revenge. Soon, they learned of the IS school and decide that they are going to attend there. However, before he was able to get in after he took the initiation test and almost beat the instructor, who was Chifuyu in an Uchigane, he still hadn't gotten the hang of his IS, Akihiro asked for his help and so he had to move to Italy for a while but soon returned.
Hello everybody! It's me, orionrage29, and it's time for my fan praise section! So far, there has been 4 people who have favorited this, 5 who are following this, and 2 who have reviewed the chapters. And, of course, this whole thing wouldn't be as good as it possibly could without Our Guild, my teacher, for lack of a better word. He's the guildmaster and I'm the apprentice, see what I did there? If I make a mistake, then he will tell me to fix it. A lot of this couldn't be done without you dude, thanks. I started out on this as a complete amateur and with his help, I've gotten way better at this. I mean, you're looking at a guy who almost made a character totally overpowered, a stinking list of said characters techniques of which there was 50 and brought that down to only 3 weapons, the usual in this anime. Also, check out these authors' (there's multiple of them for one account.) stories, they are awesome. And please remember, if you don't like it for stupid reasons, keep it to yourself, but if you see a major problem with something, though I doubt you will, like something that is totally wrong according to the canon, then you tell him.
So, there are 4 people who have taken this story from me, a novice, and put it among their favorite stories and their probably master authors. These 4 people are: FearTheMightyToothpick, Liger24, Lost Church, and manix32.
5 amazing people have decided that this story is worth following, and those people are: Liger24, Lost Church, Subzero001, TheDarkAuthor017, and manix32. Thank you for decided to watch this stories progress, whether that's a good or bad thing, I don't know, but I hope for it being a good thing. I know I'm not the best author, but at least I'm not one of the worst.
As of now, 2/14/14 12:21 735 people have viewed this story, so I thank all those who read this and like it. It is my pleasure to make people happy with my words.
So it's time for some q and a right? Well, only two questions have come in so I guess I'll do those then, but please, if you have questions ask.
Q: Why did you introduce a new character at 23 years of age? (Talking about the 2nd chapter)
A: Jessica was made to be 23 because that is my ideal age to get married. Also because her backstory isn't all that important, yet. I will probably make a prequel that delves deeper into the family, or just make a one shot for Jess.
Q: What is the reason that Jordan and Dylan can pilot an IS?
A: Well, it's up in this chapter, near the bottom, but it's in there.
