The Power of LOVE

Chapter 25 – Epilogue

Weeks had passed since Vent and Aile battled Weil. It was the start of winter already. Maverick attacks had decreased little by little after the defeat of Weil. Vent and Aile had fully recovered from their injuries and were able to do some missions and quests. Vent was the first one to wake up although he suffered more injuries than Aile.

It was such a snowy and cold morning, but Vent woke up earlier than usual. He had already travelled around the base while waiting for Aile to wake up, until he bumped with someone.

"Hey Vent!" the grey haired reploid greeted.

"Hi Grey! What brings you here this early?" Vent noticed that Grey was on his own. "Where's Ashe? Well, not that I actually care about here anyway… I'm just asking…" Vent asked.

"She's back in the camp. I have something to tell both you and Aile. Could you bring her to the cafeteria? I'll be waiting there." Grey said as Vent nodded.

Vent left and went to the elevator to Aile's room. He was going to knock on her door, but the door suddenly slid open and revealed Aile there fully dressed.

"Morning Vent!" Aile greeted with a smile. "What's up?"

"I met Grey when I was walking around the base. He said that he had something to tell us and he would be waiting in the cafeteria." Vent replied.

"Alright, let's go!" Aile took Vent's hand and both of them took the elevator towards the cafeteria.

The Guardians walked towards the cafeteria and saw Grey sitting inside while holding a cup of tea. Grey saw them came in and smiled.

"Ashe asked me to tell you guys about an expedition for the top Hunters. We're going to some ancient places, and we'll be heading out tomorrow morning. They said that this expedition might take around two years before we come back to the camp." Grey explained.

"Two years! Wow, that's a really long time…" Vent commented.

"Yeah, and Ashe is actually packing in the camp. She doesn't want to leave any important things behind or she would ruin her reputation as a top Hunter. Well, that's all that she said before." Grey continued. "What are you guys going to do now?"

"I'm not sure… Vent, how about we take a walk in the city?" Aile turned to Vent as he nodded.

"Sure, that would be great!" Vent replied before he turned back to Grey. "Have fun in your expedition! I'm sure you two will get a lot more experience once we meet up again."

"Thanks… I'll see you again!" Grey waved before he stood up and left to the transerver room.

The two Guardians had their breakfast in the cafeteria first before they headed towards the city. They walked hand in hand along the snow covered streets in Area C. They walked while enjoying the snow to the forest area, but they didn't notice that they had passed the area.

Aile looked up at the sky and frowned as the memories flooded back in her head. She saw the Ferris wheel, the place where her mother was killed. Vent noticed her sadly looking at the Ferris wheel and tried to cheer her up.

"I know that you're still sad, but the incident 13 years ago was like a destiny for me." Vent started as Aile turned to him angrily.

"How could you say that! You know that our mothers were killed by those Mavericks!" Aile yelled angrily as tears started falling from her green eyes.

"Aile… if it wasn't for our mothers, we wouldn't have met each other." Vent let go of her hand and put both of his hands on her shoulders. "We were destined to meet each other… and Boss…"

Aile looked at Vent as he smiled sadly. "Vent…"

"I used to be the one who wanted to get revenge for what the Mavericks had done to my mom, but now I know that getting revenge will only hurt myself even more. Revenge will never bring my mom back, but it will only make her sad." Vent looked at Aile for a moment and noticed a bench behind her. Vent took her hand and led her to the bench.

"Aile… when I said I love you, I didn't want to replace your mother's love. I really love you as my girlfriend, and your mom will always love you as her beloved daughter." Vent looked at Aile, who was looking at him with a surprised look on her face.

Aile stared at him for a moment before she smiled sadly. "Thanks Vent… I love you too, as my boyfriend." Their faces were only a few inches apart, but Vent suddenly moved away.

"Wait! Are you sure that Grey and Ashe aren't here, right?" Vent asked.

Aile sighed after seeing his reaction. Vent was looking around the empty amusement park, making sure the silver haired Hunters weren't watching. Unnoticed by Vent, Aile had moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around Vent's neck.

Vent was surprised to feel Aile's arms around his neck. He turned around and Aile pressed her lips against his. Vent closed his eyes immediately and wrapped his arms around her waist. They both enjoyed their moments together as the snow covered the whole area. The sorrowful area and past had led them towards a happy moment.

There you go, the final chapter! I've done halfway with the sequel and I'm planning to finish writing before school starts. Thank you all for taking your time to read and even review this story! For the very last time in this story, please review!

EDIT: This is a very important notice, so please read! If you have read this whole story along with the prequel, please think carefully before reviewing! The flames, nameless, unclear reviews are giving me a total headache so please be nice with your comments and suggestions!
