Chapter Fourteen: A Wedding Disaster
Byte pulled Tecna roughly down the stairs to the main stage to meet with Timmy. Timmy looked up to see them both, trying not to show his despise for Byte.
"Well, Mr. Delta, you've proven to to be worthy of the possession of Tecna, so in Default law, I have no other option to congratulate you." Byte told him, trying harshly to keep a straight face.
"Those are the words I've wanted to hear all day." Timmy answered in his disguised voice as he shook Byte's hand, "Now, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be alone with Miss Logica."
"There is nothing you can't say to her that you can't say to my face." Byte replied in a harsh tone.
"Well excuse me, but I thought I possessed her now." Timmy shot back.
"I said you were worthy of it, that doesn't mean you can start calling the shots, Mr Delta." Byte told him.
"I won this test legitimately, I think I deserve to be alone with my prize!" TImmy protested.
"Fine, all give you that," Byte replied casually, "But there's something questionable about you." Byte gave TImmy his handcuff to put around his wrist. Timmy, still disguised as Jeremy Delta, pulled Tecna roughly out of the stadium and pushed her into the black car with tinted windows. As Tecna sat down, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Timmy, you did it, you won!" she smiled as he took out his grey contacts. As he put back on his red rimmed eye glasses, he looked back at her with passionate eyes.
"Yes, Tecna. And now I can marry you under Default's law, and give Byte the surprise id his life." Timmy replied.
"What do you mean?" Tecna asked him.
"Tecna… knowing he's hurt you, seeing you bruised and beaten… my mission is not over until I confront Byte, not as Jeremy Delta, but as Timothy Windez! As soon as we kiss at the wedding, I'm going to expose myself for who I really am and-" Timmy was explaining, but Tecna cut him off with terror in her eyes.
"Timmy, if Byte knew who you really are-" Tecna began shakily.
"Don't worry Tec, as soon as I marry you, all the control is out of Byte's hands. He can't hurt you any longer. And if he tries anything shady, I'll be there to fight him for you."
"Timmy… I forgot to mention the first time we reunited that Byte drained all of mine and my mother's magic. If we had it, we could fight for ourselves, and then he beat us and deprived us of sleep, physically weakening us." Tecna explained.
"You were tired, frightened, and so preoccupied with finally seeing me again that you didn't really think to put in any details." Timmy pulled her close to him, and gave her yet another loving kiss on the lips.
"I missed you so much, I felt like I couldn't live without you." Tecna replied as the kiss was broken.
"Don't say that Tecna," Timmy told her in a voice that made her knees go weak, "It may be true, but I never want us to separate again in any way ever again."
"Do my a favour, Timmy," Tecna gushed, letting the feeling of love carry her into a sea of endless happiness.
"Anything." he smiled back at her, seeing her eyes finally brighten with passion like they always had when he came to see her.
"Say my name again." Tecna requested softly, and when he did, his voice felt to her like it could lull her to sleep, but she embraced him excitedly.
"My beautiful, innocent Tecna, it's almost over. Look forward to your freedom." Timmy whispered as she sank deeper into his arms.
"Timmy?" Tecna began again, "Don't you find it ironic that you have to marry me to set me free?" Timmy was silent, not nervous, but deep in thought as he stared at Tecna longingly.
"Yes Tecna, that is really funny," Timmy finally said, cupping Tecna's chin in his hands, "And one day I'll marry you for real… if I ever get up the nerve… and find a ring that is worthy enough compared to your beauty."
The day had come, Timmy was going to marry Tecna disguised as Jeremy Delta. He would finally expose himself for who he was, and give Byte what he deserved. He waited at the alter for Tecna to reach him. Finally, she entered in a long white wedding gown and another grey face vail. Once again, just as expected, she was handcuffed to Byte. No matter how Timmy knew that he was going to set Tecna free from his grasp, it still infuriated him to see his dearest treasured fairy of technology dragged by the wrist by him. While Timmy watched Tecna being dragged down the isle, she looked up at him.
"I hope you know what you're doing, Timmy." She thought worriedly.
"I'll be over soon Tecna, very soon." Timmy thought to himself as he gave her a reassuring smile. Finally, Tecna and Byte reached the isle, and he handcuffed Tecna to Timmy as the wedding efficient began the ceremony.
"Gentlemen and ladies, we are gathered here today to honour the union of Mr Jeremy Delta and miss Logica." the efficient began, and continued with the same speech as the first wedding. Timmy said his "I do." and the objection option was completely cut out. Once someone object the first time and wins the opportunity to marry the bride, no one except the father can take it back. However, Byte wasn't too suspicious of the man he knew as Jeremy Delta, yet.
"Now, without further delay, you may kiss the bride." The efficient announced, and this was the moment Timmy had waited for ever since he knew he had to win the test. As their lips touched, Tecna and Timmy both know that this was soon the end of the mission in Default.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." the efficient concluded.
"Good," Timmy began in his deep voice as Jeremy, "because there is something I always wanted to do." Then he snatched the keys to the handcuffs out of Byte's hand and unlocked the cuffs. Everyone in the room gasped in shock at the sight before them. Then his took out a container of water, and poured it on his head as the temporary dye dripped to the floor, and the gel seeped out of his hair, making his messy hairstyle visible again. And finally he took out the grey contacts and put them in the case, he replaced them with his red rimmed glasses. Tecna stood there in worry and surprise, knowing Byte would go after him, and maybe try and kill him.
"You!" Byte snapped, "I knew I had to be suspicious of you. How dare you double-cross me?"
"How dare I!" Timmy spat, "How dare I!" then, what surprised the entire room is that he marched over to Byte, and punched him in the face. Tecna backed away from the scene in complete horror.
"Timmy?" She quivered, wondering what exactly he was thinking at that moment.
"That's it, you pathetic specialist, let's do this, man to man!" Byte threatened Timmy, and Timmy balled his hands into fists, images of Tecna's bruised and bloody face filled his mind. The man standing across from him, threatening him, was the one who did those things to his sweet angelic technology fairy, and that was enough motivation to end him right there, at that moment while his blood still boiled with rage. The two men begin to fight, Timmy's anger controlled him, he let go of himself.
"You are going down, Byte!" Timmy yelled in outrage as he socked a kick at him, "After you, absolutely no one touches Tecna, no one!" Timmy had Byte cornered, when suddenly he did something that made him stop in his tracks.
"Timmy?" Tecna asked shakily, worrying that Timmy was going to end up being hurt. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind and gagged with Byte's hand.
"Take on more step closer to me, and your sweetheart gets choked." Byte threatened as he had Tecna in his grasp, trembling and quickly loosing her breath. Out of desperation, Tecna bit Byte's finger, causing him to let go for one moment.
"Timmy!" Tecna screamed before Byte could cover her mouth again, then he took a torch from the side of the room and threw it to the floor. The flames spread throughout the room as all the guests scattered to the exits. All who where left were Timmy, Byte; who had Tecna pinned to the wall now, and Tecnisha; who was scared out of he mind for her daughter.
