-In a dark future for the Sonic Universe-

Silver the hedgehog received a message from Nightfall, who was also from an alternative future, to find Sora in the year 2027 sometime in June.

Silver is a very light grey-silver (almost white) anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck with gold eyes and tan skin. He has two large spines at the back of his head, while at the front of his forehead there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two final ones covering up most of his ears.

For attire, he wears white gloves with cyan circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his golden bracelets accented in cyan. The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. The rest of his boots are navy blue, white and cyan.

He used a chaos emerald time travel.

Sora was in his gummi ship when Silver teleported in with Lucas.

Lucas was a young American boy with blonde hair and black eyes, occasionally shown with a hint of teal wearing a red t-shirt with yellow stripes, blue shorts, white socks, and orange and yellow sneakers.

"Oh hello. Why do you have a kid with you?" Sora asked, cautiously.

"I travelled through time looking for heroes connected to Ness. I found Lucas while exploring the timeline of their world" Silver explained.

"I see…any idea where this wedding will be?" Sora asked as he showed him the invite.

Nick Wizard had purposely printed a certain amount of invitations with the location for specific people excluding people like Sora (even if that would make Grace upset).

"Not…sure" Silver admitted.

They received a message from either Yen Sid or Nightfall to try the house of mouse world first.

-Back in reality-

The Broodals were in full swing in planning the arrangements for the wedding and with the location confirmed, more invitations with the real location were sent to certain people like Xion, Vanitas, Akira Blake and Raven Ebony, Ven, Terra, Riku, Roxas, Kairi, Naminè, Charis 2/ Cherie, Luka, Marc and Grace's family to name a few.

Grace got assistance picking a dress and the reception food etc.

-Fast-forward to February 2028 (Inside the Time Bubble) 4 days till the wedding-

Harriet and some of the bridemaids that included Sky, Chloe, Byrn, Chee Chee (From the Universal Knights) and Naminè helped Grace into her white with purple flowers wedding dress.

"I'm glad you were all able to help me out with this. I miss being a group" Grace said, softly.

Chee Chee gave her a big hug.

"We all do. Your big day is getting closer…will you be alright with your dad?" she asked.

Grace nodded.

-Elsewhere-

The rest of the broodals were acting as bodyguards.

Nick Wizard met with them at the wedding location.

"You're doing well with the decorations and stuff, but I need a favour. You and Harriet have to go to the other 'places' in case anyone tries to 'crash' the event. Understand?" he requested with an intense grin.

"What do we get in return?" Rango asked, speaking in a natural Southern drawl.

"Recognition and food of course" Nick Wizard replied.

"Would that include payment for our services?" Spewart added.

Nick Wizard nodded.

"Then we're in" Topper replied, with a wide grin.

-Fast-forward to 25th February (in the Time bubble)-

People began to arrive at hotels at the place of interest, they included people on the invite list such as: Marshal Lee, Smithy, Proxima Starfall, Sheryl Goodspeed, Warp Darkmatter, Avocato possessed by Invictus, Todd/Hushfuffles, Cosy Glow, Team Shadowfire along with Nick Wizard's 'friends' and Nightfall.

Proxima Starfall appeared in her new appearance: She has dark green hair spiked up to match Necrafa's (Originally styled in a bob cut), light green eyes (originally wore red glasses) , and pale skin with half of the white with black stripes fragment of Necrafa's mask with the eye hole making her right eye red wearing gold armour, with black stripes and four circles bearing the symbol of the Spectral Hand and of Queen Necrafa herself.

This was her grand entrance as the leader of the spectral hand with the Vexicons (Minus Eartha the rock golem) following behind her.

Smithy was a dark-grey mechanical creature with red eyes that resembled Santa that wears a gold crown.

Strike and Zak Monday were stationed as bodyguards at the gates of the venue.

Kamek provided Shadowfire and their allies with disguise clothing to blend in with the reception.

Tao(TKO) and Vanitas were in charge of the guest list to tick people off as they arrived.

The rest of 'Team Squad' led by Gary Goodspeed arrived as well alongside Xion and the others on the guest list.

-Nazo's scene-

While the Sora and his group were looking for Grace, they had what seemed like an honest lead. The lead was telling them that they had to head for The House of Mouse in order to find a clue to the exact location of the wedding Nick Wizard was planning.

Sora was currently outside of the House of Mouse alongside his team which included Silver the Hedgehog and Lucas. The House of Mouse was a famous cartoon club located in a Downtown Disney area, and was famous for being a meeting place between absolutely everything that was Disney. At least before the days of CGI Animation became the norm for everything. That meant that characters from Pixar films weren't seen at the club.

The exterior of the House of Mouse looked rather tall with the corner of property it was at. The front of the building had the words "House of Mouse" on the front above the entry doors.

"Be on your guard in case something goes wrong." Silver cautioned everyone as they headed into the club.

The club looked deserted as everyone looked around. "Looking for something?" asked Pete, in his House of Mouse form.

"Pete! What are you up to?" Sora summoned his Keyblade while glaring at the villain.

The fat cartoon cat laughed. "I ain't doin' nothin' wrong. Why I'm just looking around the club before it shuts down for good. Taken off the air as we call it." He smiled while looking at the group.

Silver knew what Pete was talking about. "We don't have time for your games. Tell us where the wedding is!"

Pete just burst into laughter. "Do you hear that boys? Little tinsel boy here wants to know about a wedding." Suddenly there was more laughter heard before a small airship came out of a portal.

The airship had the famous rabbit wedding planners known as The Broodals on it. The four rabbits laughed for a little while before they addressed the group of heroes. "We were warned no good free loaders would be into the wedding." The Broodal dressed in green patted his shirt for a moment after he spoke.

"It is definitely going to be a big show. The kind that puts people like us on top." The Broodal dressed in blue grinned after he spoke.

The only girl Broodal in the group talked. "It will definitely be a sparkling performance." The Broodal was dressed in purple.

The tallest of the Broodals was dressed in a white shirt with orange overalls. "However, the wedding is exclusively invitation only." The Broodal jumped down from the airship.

"This wedding is going to be the best." The Broodal dressed in jumped down.

The one dressed in blue jumped down. "It will be the wedding of the century."

The girl Broodal then said. "And you're not invited!" She then took out a metal helmet and put it on her head before jumping down.

Pete laughed at Sora. "You losers ain't got a chance against the best weddin' planners in the whole universe!"

The green dressed Broodal made a bunch of hats appear on his head as he and the others introduced themselves. "We are. Topper!"

"Spewart!" The Broodal dressed in blue grinned.

The girl one made a spike ball appear on the end of her ponytail hair. "Hariet."

The tall one made a pose like a cowboy with his hat. "And Rango."

"We are The Broodals!" The four rabbits said simultaneously as they made poses for a moment.

"Do you four even know what you're trying to do?" Silver asked.

Harriet thought for a moment. "We do."

"And we don't care!" Spewart said.

"We're keepin' you wedding crashers out." Rango said.

"After them!" Topper said as he led the charge.

Pete laughed in the background. "Seems like these guys are in for a real show." The 4th Wall 'camera' followed Pete for a moment as he tried leaving. "Believe me. I don't wanna be around for the finale." The 4th Wall then looked back at the two groups as they began their battle.

-end of Nazo's scene-

Topper stacked two copies of his hat atop his regular one before skipping towards Silver, adding a few more hats gradually.

His main attack was spinning with the hats on his head at his target.

Harriet's spikey grey helmet protected her from aerial attacks. Her attacks were throwing bombs at targets.

Silver used his telekinesis to fight her head on.

She flew around in a saucer fashion, laughing maniacally, while dropping down many of bombs, which will leave little lava puddles after their detonation, before finally landing and resetting the cycle.

Lucas faced Topper while Sora faced Spewart and Rango.

Spewart will surround himself with his poison, then ran after Sora to spit poison at him.

Sora combined dark lightning bolts with 'ancient light' from his starlight keyblade form to injure Spewart.

In retaliation, Spewart flew around in a saucer fashion and covered the field with his poison.

Rango used the spiked side of his trampoline hat as a boomerang he controlled to hit Sora, Silver and Lucas in rapid succession.

Lucas used PK Love, a heavy damage attack in the form of harsh, shining pink and turquoise lights with a hexagonal pattern, at Topper.

Sora finished them off with a combination of teleport behind opponents at high speeds to launch attacks while leaving after-images of himself to confuse them, fireballs and the ultima weapon's shotlock 'Infinite circle' (involving only locking onto one enemy; however, once locked on, it has Sora charge a ball of light energy and cause severe damage to surrounding enemies, whether they were locked on or not) to finish the broodals' off.

Sora ended it with the finishing move by jumping into the air and creating a flurry of blades around him, dealing rapid damage before ending with sending a last circle of swords out around him in a great radius.

-Nazo's scene for the Aftermath-

Topper, Spewart, Hariet and Rango passed out from their painful battle with the heroes. "I wonder why Nick Wizard hired these rabbits." Silver said as he looked at the four human size rabbits.

Suddenly the group was startled by a loud barking sound. Without warning a giant golden living wrecking ball like creature appeared. It had on a pink lady's hat. "How dare you attack my precious Broodals!" The floor shook as a giant rabbit woman in a red dress appeared. She had on blue eyeshadow, a golden spiked bracelet, and a beautiful red dress and hat. Her hair was a turquoise colour with strands of yellow in it.

"Her Broodals?!" Sora and the others were surprised by the presence of the giant rabbit, and what they assumed to be her pet.

Topper coughed a little. "They're mean like the wizard said..." The giant rabbit moved the Broodals to safety.

The Organization XIII music known as 'Face It' was heard in the background. "I am Madam Broode. Leader of the Broodal's Wedding Catering Services." Her pet snapped at the group. It kind of resembled Pac-Man with razor sharp teeth. "Chain Chompikins and I will teach you hooligans what happens to those who cross the Broodals. Suddenly, her boss music began.

Silver floated overhead. "I'll keep an eye out for trouble."

-end of Nazo's scene-

Madam Broode used her pet as a yo-yo at the group and swung him as the first attack.

Sora did his 'union X' light attack from the 'lights of the past' moment in the keyblade graveyard.

She retaliated by throwing punches at the group.

Lucas used his baseball bat on golden Chompikins and Silver used his power to knockout Madam Broode.

As the fight came to a close, the front doors to the club burst open, revealing an exhausted revived Green the hedgehog and Ness.

Ness has short black hair and black eyes. He normally wears a red baseball cap with a blue bill turned to his right side. He wears a horizontally striped yellow and blue t-shirt and blue shorts, with white socks and red shoes. He also has a brown backpack, though it's described to be yellow in-game by an NPC.

Ness used PK Freeze, which causes a very cold wind to swirl around one enemy, on Rango.

From the back door, came Grace through a blue portal.

When she reached the main area of the club, she saw the last of the battle as Green and Ness helped defeat the Broodals' leader.

"Green? Wait…you're back but I thought you were gone forever" Grace said in shock.

"I….have ….backup plans" Green admitted.

She noticed the injured broodals in the club and then looked back at Green.

"Did all of you hurt the party planners?" she asked, calmly.

"They were trying to stop us from finding your wedding" Sora revealed.

Grace shook her head.

"Did you start this, Green? First you sacrifice yourself, then you don't return and have a turtle wizard visit me and now you beat up the wedding planners?! Shameful!" she cried as her anger grew.

"Grace, I had help to come back. A few friends used magic to revive me" Green examined her eyes closely.

"Are you…alright?" He asked.

Grace's eyes narrowed as she slapped him with her right hand across his left cheek.

"Wha- Why?!" He cried in despair.

"You injured these rabbits who are helping with my wedding. And you…Sora, why did you help?" She asked in tears.

"Grace…they were trying to stop us from reaching your wedding" Sora insisted.

"He's telling the truth!" Silver added.

"Please, Grace. Try to think clearly" Patch pleaded.

"I AM thinking clearly! Nick Wizard warned me about this you know. And I know that in the past you killed innocent people!" Grace snapped.

The room went silent.

"That…is true but it was…complicated back then. I had to in order to keep the balance…" Green began.

Grace held up her right hand to silence him.

"No more. Broodals, let's go. You're…you're not invited to the wedding" She strained.

"Grace…" Green tried again.

"Big Sister?" Sora asked.

Grace turned away as tear rolled down her right eye.

"Good luck with your search but…it's in the place you're not likely to look first" She said, cryptically.

She and Madam Broode helped the Broodals on their airship.

Green watched helplessly as his dearest friend drifted away.

-At the wedding location-

Vanitas ended up sitting between Xion and Naminè while Terra was between Naminè, Riku and Grace's family.

"So…you like fighting?" Xion asked.

Vanitas gave a mild shrug.

"Only at my enemies"

"But…everyone is your enemy right? We were both used by Xehanort" Xion pointed out.

Vanitas clenched his right hand.

"Yes but…I'm finding …..ways to feel less empty without the original purpose" he coldly admitted.

He had a few flashes of Kairi then Xion on Destiny Islands.

"That little brat" he muttered to himself.

"Vanitas…everything ok?" Xion asked, softly.

Something about her tone of voice sparked something in his heart, maybe it was just Sora's influence, but a tear fell from his right eye.

"I'm fine" He said with clenched teeth.

This connection is making me…feel different He realised in shock.

"Xion…Are you sure about Vanitas…he's not exactly trustworthy" Naminè pointed out.

Ven sat next to Skuld, his friend from the age of Fairy Tales that he brought as a 'Plus one'.

He kept his head down while they talked.

"It's fine, Naminè. He's Ven and Sora's brother. Roxas is like a sibling to me so…I know what that's like" Xion reassured her.

"Wait…so you view me as his brother?" Vanitas asked, in surprise.

Xion nodded.

"Of course. We both have had some connection to darkness" she said with a genuine smile.

Vanitas felt something unfamiliar: something warm and close to 'happiness'.

It terrified him.

"Ven...Don't you want Vanitas to have his own life" Skuld whispered.

Ven thought carefully.

"Yes, I made it clear at the graveyard" He pointed out.

Skuld gave him a stern look.

"Not directly. Plus You always thought the two of you were the same, correct?" She asked.

Ven sighed.

"That is correct but...it was before we fought for a third time..." he said, wistfully.

"I..." he then looked over at Vanitas.

"I feel...something different now. He's made it clear he wants us to be brothers and that we're not the same" he added.

Vanitas met his gaze.

"Do I still have to come home, Brother?" He asked.

"Your home is with friends...Vanitas, You're your own person and my Brother" Ven admitted.

Vanitas gave a small smile.

"Maybe...this wedding will be worth it" he said, softly.

To be continued

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

I hope the wedding plot and the gradual arc of Vanitas i'm starting here and in my Shadowfire story is interesting.

I'm having fun with the process since REMIND helped me a lot with Vanitas' development.

See ya next time.

Grace, out!
