They should have seen it coming really. Their small army was malnourished and many of them had never wielded a weapon in their lives, so it shouldn't have been surprising when they were defeated.

"Karkat!" yelled John as he was pulled forcefully away from the cage.

"John!" screamed Karkat as John was tossed to the floor before Eridan's throne. The king hadn't moved from his lazy position since the attack began and he now smirked down at John.

"So you have come for my princess?" questioned Eridan as John attempted to push himself up, only to receive a kick to the stomach, sending him back to the ground.

"You could have at least come with a little better army than this," laughed Eridan, gesturing to the now captured army of prisoners, Meenah and Feffer at the front. "Well, whatever the case, the more the merrier for tomorrow. Take them to the dungeons."

John was pulled to his feet and drug down to the dungeons along with the other prisoners. Karkat hadn't realized she was crying until Eridan came to her cage, gripping her chin and wiping away a tear with his thumb.

"Why do you cry for such a worthless boy? He couldn't even rescue you," said Eridan. "If you just agree to be my queen I promise I will not harm him."

"If I marry you, no harm will come to John?" asked Karkat, wiping tears from her eyes.

"You have my word," replied Eridan, kissing the back of her hand.

"Then I will marry you," said Karkat sadly, her eyes refusing to meet Eridan's.

"I am glad you have come to see things my way. The wedding shall be held tomorrow," said Eridan, pulling Karkat's face to his and placing a quick kiss on her lips. "Until tomorrow, my love." Eridan left the room and finally Karkat collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face.

"I just want this all to end," she sobbed.

John was awoke the next day to a loud banging on the bars of his cell. He pushed himself up, his ribs sore from the previous day.

"Wake up, all must be present for the wedding," shouted the guard. Each cell was opened and the prisoners were cuffed and hauled outside. The entire large courtyard had been set up and decorated to hold a wedding.

John could see the large isle and at the end of it stood Eridan, his usual purple outfit replaced with one of white and gold. At the other end of the isle he saw Karkat, dressed in a beautiful white gown.

'I can't let this happen!' thought John. The waters around him began to swirl as he got to his feet. His powers of wind swirled around him, opening up a pocket of air in the water that reached all the way to the surface. Everyone stared at him as another gust of wind opened a small tunnel to where Karkat was standing. She ran to him throwing her arms around his shoulders in a hug.

"Can we just finish this story already?" she asked. John nodded and used his wind powers to rise into the air and fly them back to shore. Roxy sat on the beach, smiling at them as they landed on the warm sand.

"I almost thought you wouldn't come back," she laughed, hugging both of them. "Come on, everyone in town will want to know you're back!" She grabbed both of their hands and they all laughed as they ran back into town.

Everyone in the shops and on the streets cheered as they came by, many of them giving them hugs. By the time they made it to the castle they had a large group of people following them. They were immediately allowed into the palace and Kankri ran over to them, pulling Karkat into a hug.

"Karkat, you're back! I'm so glad! I was so worried! Never ever go down by the shore by yourself again. That was so triggering! Don't ever do that again! What if you had gotten hurt, or drowned, or-" Karkat cut him off from his rambling.

"Kankri I'm fine, just calm down. I'm back now, thanks to John," said Karkat, hugging Kankri back. Kankri released her and she walked back over to John.

"Do you think it's over now?" asked Karkat quietly.

"Just one more thing," replied John, closing his eyes and leaning towards Karkat. She mimicked the action but just before their lips met there was a bright explosion of color.

Karkat and John sat up, removing the helmets from their heads. John swung his legs over the side of the bed and tried the stand, only collapsing back onto the bed as Karkat sat up.

"Woah John, you guyth have been out for three dayth, let your muthcleth get used to moving again," said Sollux. After a little while they were able to stand again and Dave agreed to drive them back to John's apartment.

"Sollux we are never trying one of inventions again," snapped Karkat as they walked out of Sollux's house. When they got back to John's apartment they both collapsed onto the couch.

"I believe you still owe me something," said John with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" snapped Karkat. John just smirked and leaned forwards, his lips connecting with Karkat's. Karkat was shocked at first, but soon began to kiss back.

"You know, you are a pretty good adventurer," said Karkat with a smile as they pulled apart.

"And you are a pretty good princess," laughed John, earning a punch in the shoulder.

"Can we at least live happily ever after?" asked John.

"Of course," said Karkat, leaning forward and connecting their lips again.
