Amera and Alicia were already standing at the end of the aisle, waiting for Susan. Ben stood opposite them, smiling happily at his cousin and girlfriend; which made Amera smile. The bridal march started, and the doors opened. Susan was holding her silver bouquet, being led out by Johnny. Ben and Amera watched her walking up the aisle, while Reed stared in awe.
"How does she look, Amera?" Alicia asked softly.
"She's beautiful." Amera said simply. Ben heard the conversation and smiled at Amera again. Alicia smiled to herself and stood back in place when the music stopped. Reed walked towards Johnny and shook his hand, and then Johnny removed Susan's veil and kissed her on the cheek. Johnny took his place opposite the aisle from Amera and stared at her with smouldering blue eyes; Amera could only smile back at him. Susan and Reed took their place in front of the priest, and the ceremony started. Amera heard the beginning of the sermon, but the rest faded away. Johnny still had his eyes set on her, and the longer he stared, the less she noticed of her surroundings. She tried to distract herself from his stare, and turned her head a little to see his date; staring at him like a love-sick schoolgirl. Amera looked away before she laughed, but then something else caught her attention. Herbie was sending a message to Reed, and it was an emergency as far as she could tell. Once she had programmed her DNA into Herbie, she would often catch signals from him. But this time she knew it wasn't meant for her because it was in PDA coding, but she knew what the message was. She heard a noise coming from Reed's pocket, and then he reached in and pulled out his PDA. Susan turned to Reed with her mouth open, about to snap at him.
"You didn't!" Susan scolded him in a whisper.
"Sorry, Susan, it's world safety. I don't think anyone else could've…" Reed tried to explain, and Susan snapped at him again
"This is our wedding!" Susan seethed, and the guests started whispering amongst themselves. Reed turned to the priest and whispered to him.
"Do you think we can skip ahead to the 'I do's'?"
"No, we won't, Reed!" Susan said again, now at the point of screaming at him. Things then started happening all around, and they went from bad to worse. A helicopter appeared overhead with a camera crew inside; the wind started blowing things away and Susan became angrier. Reed's PDA started beeping furiously, and he was trying to stop it before it went static. A strange silver flash flew overhead, sending the crowd and noise into stillness. The stillness was deafening before they realised what was happening. The helicopter's rotor blades had stopped spinning and it started falling towards the rooftop where they stood. Susan caught it in a force field, but the rotor blade had already hit the ground, and the tail was spinning towards Alicia.
"Ben, get Alicia!" Amera shouted. Ben caught the tail rotor and it him in the face, sending more debris flying through the air. Amera concentrated on metal, and everything that was metal froze in mid-air. Susan let the helicopter down, and Amera gathered the pieces of metal into one heap. They watched as the silver beam flew over the city, wreaking havoc as it went.
"Johnny…Amera…" Reed looked at them. Amera didn't hesitate; she disappeared in a flash of white light, leaving her dress to float down to the ground.
"Come on…I just got this suit." Johnny said.
"Johnny…" Reed said again, and Johnny sighed.
"But it's Dolce."
Reed looked at him sternly, and he shook his head as he leapt over the side of the building, flaming up and following the silver beam. He could see Amera's bright white light tailing the silver beam, but she wasn't going nearly as fast as she would have. Johnny burned hotter and flew faster, eventually catching up with them. They tailed the silver beam through a traffic tunnel, between buildings and almost out of city limits. Then the silver beam slowed down long enough to for them to see what it was; it was a silver humanoid.
"Man…that is cool!" Johnny said, stopping in mid-air right next to Amera. Amera was in a shorter Fantastic suit than her normal one as to fit under her dress, but Johnny hadn't noticed it until then. The silver humanoid flew through a building, and then over the ocean. Amera shook her head and took off again.
"We're going to lose him. Come on!" Amera shouted, beaming after the silver being. Johnny flew after them again, seeing how far behind he'd fallen. They were slowly climbing higher and higher, and soon enough were even nearing the next continent. Johnny wasn't able to see much other than the two lights, but soon enough one light started fading. He knew the silver humanoid wouldn't stop, so it must've been Amera giving up the chase. As he was approaching the light that was the silver humanoid, he could see why her light had faded. They were 30 000 feet above the earth, and the silver humanoid had caught Amera around her throat. She was still in her light form, but she was slowly fading back to normal. Her hands were clawing at the silver being's, in hopes that he would let go of her, but her eyes were already closing.
"Stop! Don't do anything to her!" Johnny shouted and blazed over to them. The silver humanoid diverted his attention to Johnny, and once he was close enough, he caught Johnny around the throat with his free hand. The silver humanoid dropped Amera from his other hand; and before Johnny could see where she had fallen, the humanoid started taking him higher and higher up into the atmosphere.
"Can we…talk?" Johnny choked out, hoping the silver humanoid would listen. Soon enough there was no oxygen for Johnny to burn or breathe, and his flame died out. When Johnny had started blacking out, he felt the hand ease off his throat. The next thing he knew, he saw the ground speeding up toward him, and he flamed up just in time to slow down before hitting the ground.
