Anniversary Chapter Part 1

It was on this day that an event unlike any before it (in this dimension anyway) was taking place. What is this event you may ask; why the answers simple. It's the wedding on the APL and CPU of Lastation.

An hour before the wedding

Dressing room

4pm

"You sure that you're ready for this?" Blanc asked from the doorway when she came to see me.

"Quite frankly no; right now I'm a nervous wreck." I responded truthfully before setting down the comb I had been using and turned from the mirror to look at her, "Light blue really suits you."

"Thanks. It took awhile to find one that suited me." Blanc said, "That Tuxedo looks rather stiff on you."

She was referring to the midnight blue suit, white bowtie, and crimson dress shirt that I was currently wearing. "I'm not one for suits like this, but it's all for her." I said smiling before turning back to the mirror and picked up the comb again, "I just can't get my hair to stay down."

"Want me to help?" She asked before walking further into the room.

"I'd appreciate it." I responded thankfully before sitting down in a chair and holding the comb out for her, "Normally I'd ask Noire to help, but you know the saying about seeing the bride before the wedding."

"Who's going to be your best man?" Blanc asked after taking the comb from me.

"I asked a friend I made on a quest about two months ago. His names Larvayne." was my answer.

"How did the two of you meet?" She asked struggling with combing my hair, "I can see why you were having trouble."

"Now that's a story." I said smiling, "It was something like this."

Flashback

Two months prior

Pov (Kaito)

'Why did Noire ask me to take a quest in Leanbox of all places?' I thought to myself as I was walking through the forest looking for my objective of an Ancient Dragon, 'Wonder if I'll meet anyone new while I'm here.'

After continuing forward for what felt like an hour, but was really about 20 minutes, I heard a roar come from a distance to my right. "Finally." I said before running towards the roar, "This quest has taken forever." As I ran I eventually came upon a clearing in which I saw the dragon I was sent to eliminate already fighting another person.

"Hey! Can I get a hand over here!" The person yelled, "This things stronger than I thought it'd be!"

"I'll be right there!" I yelled back before summoning my sword and dashing at the dragon, "Lets do this, Eryn!"

After the dragon had been dealt with I took the time to look at the person who I helped. He looked to be about 24, had tan, almost bronze, skin, white hair that spiked back, crimson red irises, and a well built physique. His clothes consisted of black leather pants, a form-fitting white sleeveless shirt, and red scarf. His weapon was a Great Sword which he wielded with ease.

"You really saved me there man." He said smiling before extending his hand, "My name's Larvayne Drake, and yours?"

"Kaito Raglan." I said taking his hand and shaking it while returning his smile, "What were you doing taking on an Ancient Dragon on your own?"

"I was trying to raise my standing at the guild." Larvayne said, "I could ask you the same thing, and you don't even look like you're from Leanbox."

"Lastations CPU sent me here to help deal with the threat." I answered truthfully, "Come on let's get this quest turned in."

As we walked back to the main city of Leanbox, Larvayne asked, "How does one such as yourself know a CPU well enough to be sent out to help another nation?"

"It's simple really." I said, "I'm the APL of Lastation, Obsidian Player."

"You mean you're the only man that stands on equal grounds with the goddesses?" He asked to which I nodded, "Alright then; prove it."

"If that's what you wish." I said as a white glow surrounded me from the ground up before fading, "You believe me now?"

"I kind of have to now." He said before sighing, "I guess I have a debt to Lastation that I'll have to pay."

"Don't worry about it." I said while reverting back to my human form, "If you insist on paying back your 'debt' then come to Lastation when you're able to in order to help me with something."

Flashback end

"That was some story." Bland said after she finished combing my hair, "I have to go make sure the twins aren't causing trouble. Oh, and before I forget; you better make her happy, or else."

"See you later then, and I was planning on it Blanc." I said as she left and shortly after my best man walked in.

"How you feeling man?" Larvayne asked me after he entered and walked up to me, "You look really uncomfortable in that."

"I could say the same to you." I shot back jokingly, "In all reality; I'm a nervous wreck right now."

"That's understandable considering how BIG this once in a lifetime event is." He said putting emphasis on the word big, "How many people were invited?"

"A lot, and it's being broadcasted to the entirety of Gamindustri." I said telling him just how big this wedding was.

"You should probably get out there." Larvayne said before walking to the door, "Telling that story took you longer than you thought. It's almost time."

A church in Lastation

10 minutes later

5pm

Pov (Kaito)

'Here I am; getting married. Who would have thought?' I said in my thoughts as I stood on the small altar, at the end of the aisle in the main hall, before looking around at everyone to see Neptune in her HDD wearing a dark purple dress and her hair in a single braid, Vert also in her HDD wearing a single strap light green dress that hugged her body, Rom and Ram in a blue and pink dress respectively, Nepgear in a mild pink dress, Uni wearing a midnight blue dress that was open in the back, Uzume wearing a half purple and half orange dress that seemed to fit her, and many other people who could make it. 'I hope you're watching from up there, father.'

"You ready for this? It's about to start." Larvayne asked quietly from beside me.

"Are we ever ready to get married for the rest of our lives?" I asked him in return.

"Touche." He responded quietly, "Look here she comes."

Looking forward I saw Noire walking down the aisle, lined with pews filled with people, carrying a bouquet of flowers in a white dress and a veil covering her face that left me speechless; Kei playing the part of the family member to give her away; and Chian helping with her dress.

After they had arrived at the altar; Histoire, who was acting as the priest, said, "I thank you all for joining us here today; for on this day an event that has never before been seen shall take place!" She paused here to take a breath, "Today is the day that the CPU of Lastation: Black Heart, otherwise known as Noire, and the APL of Lastation: Obsidian Player, also known as Kaito Raglan, shall be bonded together in holy matrimony."

"Now wIll you two please exchange your vows." She finished.

"Noire; for as long as we are married I vow to always love you, to be the light in your darkness, to share your burdens as if they were my own, and to be there for you whenever you need me." I vowed.

"Kaito: for as long as we are married I vow to always be a loving wife, to share your burdens as if they were my own, to be a bastion for whenever you need me, and to bring you a loving family." Noire vowed.

"That was beautiful." Histoire said wiping away a tear before asking me, "Now, Kaito, in sickness and in health do you take Noire to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." I said smiling without hesitation.

"Noire, in sickness and in health do you take Kaito to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Histoire asked turning her head to face Noire.

"I do." Noire said without hesitating.

"If there are any objections; then now is the time to say them, or forever hold your peace." Histoire said directing it at the crowd of people, but received no objections, "Good. Now can the ring bearer bring forth the rings."

After Histoire said that Uni walked forward with a small pillow that had our rings on them.

After handing us the rings Uni walked back to her seat.

"Now you may put each other's rings." Histoire said before Noire started to slide an onyx black ring that was inlaid with gold onto my ring finger. After she got my ring on; I took her ring of onyx inlaid gold and three small diamonds and slid it onto her ring finger. "I now pronounce you husband and wife; you may kiss the bride" she finished saying as I lifted the veil over her head and kissed her.

After Wedding Dinner

Passe's diner

6:20pm

Pov (Kaito)

"Why did you decide to have your wedding dinner here of all places?" My mother asked me after she had called me over to the small bar next to the kitchen, "Not that I'm complaining or anything; I'm just confused."

"Noire and I wanted to keep it close to home." I said answering her before turning to look at everyone, "We thought that we would need something to bring us back down to Gamindustri; besides everyone seems to be having a great time, and this place is more than big enough."

"I won't keep you any longer." She said shooing me away, "Get going. You have a wife to be with now."

"You're right he does." A voice, neither of us thought we would ever hear again, said.

"Rex?!" Chian exclaimed teary eyed before gripping him in a bear hug, that he quickly returned, and gaining everyone's attention, "How are you here?"

"I was given a very difficult trial in the Gamindustri Graveyard after my spirit finally passed on." Rex answered as Noire started to walk towards us, "My reward for completing the trial was being brought back to life; now I understand that my son has just gotten married. Where's your lovely wife, Kaito?"

"I'm right here." Noire said,slightly red still not used to being called my wife, as she reached us, "My name is Noire Raglan."

"Nice to meet you, Noire." Rex said as he extending his hand towards her after Chian let go of him, "I'm Rex."

"It's nice to meet you to." Noire said shaking his hand

"May I ask what your trial was?" Histoire asked having overheard our conversation.

"The four guardians of the Graveyard: Trick, Judge, Brave, and Magic decided that I was taken before my time; and they said that if I could defeat all of them one at a time that they would give me a second chance at life." Rex explained.

"Well this is just a happy day all around isn't it!" I exclaimed happily before pulling my father in for a hug before saying quietly, "It's good to have you back; dad."

"It's good to be back, son." Rex said quietly while returning my hug.

"Who's this, Kaito?" Blanc asked being the first person other than Noire to walk up to us.

"My name is Rex Raglan; Kaito's father." Rex answered her question loud enough for everyone present to hear after getting out of my embrace, "It's good to see that my son has made so many friends.."

"For real?" Neptune asked tilting her head.

"Can't you see the family resemblance?" I asked her before moving to stand next to Rex.

"I believe you." Blanc said after looking at the two of us for a minute, "It's good to meet you, Rex. Your son has helped us all quite a bit."

"It's in the nature of our family to help those who need it." Rex responded to Blanc before grabbing a glass of water, "This is supposed to be an after wedding dinner, so let's celebrate!"

A/N: This chapter is to celebrate the day I first posted this fic. I split it into two parts because the rest if the chapter just didn't fit with this part because of the tone of it. The only time I've been to a wedding personally was when I was six, so I don't exactly remember everything about them. In case any of you are wondering about Larvayne; he was a past D&D character that I made a long time ago.
