Weddings: Love, Cake, and...Killing?!

Prologue: Life is peaceful again.  At least, most of Gene and co. problems have gone.  Melfina made a friend named Krisa, a girl about Jim's age, who has been trained to fight and protect life since her father died when she was three.  A couple of months back, Gene had asked Melfina to marry him.  Of course, she said yes.  Now, the wedding day was near, and a group of newly discovered aliens called the XmalX team have turned their backs on humans and all other life.

     "Hello, Krisa.  Good of you to come by," Melfina said while studying how to cook a cake for her wedding. 

     "I just wanted you to see me with my brides-maid gown on," she said taking off her coat.  "What do you think?  Does it fit me?"

     "It looks wonderful on you, Kris.  Would you like to help me bake a cake?"

     Krisa giggled, "Sure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     "Sir, please, you can't make me go kill…him," a dog like creature said.  He had a dog's head, but a dinosaur's body.

     "I will make you do whatever I want you to do!  I am leader.  I am XmalXs' leader.  I am Zead!  Now, you will kill Gene and get me the ship of his!"  Zead yelled in rage.

     "Y…y…yes, S…s…sir."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     "Mel, I'm home!"  Jim yelled entering the kitchen.  "Oh, hi Krisa."

     "Hi, Jim.  What's up?  Where did you go?"  Melfina smiled.

     "Just went out, that's all.  Krisa, can I talk to you privately?"

     "Um…okay."

     Jim dragged her out of the room.  "I know that you own a book shop.  I know that it doesn't make that much money.  I…"

     "What is it?"

     "Could I borrow some money?"

     "What for?"

     "A wedding present."

     "Sure, but you'll have to give it back by working there.  I've always wanted help."

     "Fine."

     During the wedding day when the bride was walking down the aisle…

     "Attack!" Captain Zed yelled.  "We want to please our master Zead.  Fight with a brave heart dino-men!  Attack!"

     "Melfina run!"  Gene yelled grabbing her out of the way.  "Stay here.  I'll be okay.  You'll be okay, too."

     "What do you want?!" Jim yelled grabbing a gun. (Attention readers, please don't ask, "Where in the heck did he get a gun?"  This is a fictional story after all.  So just read.)

     "Gene!"  Zed yelled.

     "I believe that you, sir, will get a sore throat from all the yelling you're doing.   Oops!  Sorry, you all ready have one."  Krisa took her necklace and it transformed into a sword.

     "Where does she get this stuff?"  Jim wondered.

     BANG!  Gene was shot.  Not shot by a bullet, but by a bubble gun.  Gene was trapped in an unbreakable bubble!

     "Gene!"  Jim yelled.  "I'll get you for that you creep!" BANG! BANG! BANG!  "Damn!  I'm out of bullets!  They're getting away too."

     "Gene is gonna lose air.  He won't be able to breath in that bubble.  Mel, here put this next to the bubble, it'll melt it," Krisa informed them.

     "Okay, I'll stay here."

     "We're going after them," Jim said running after Zead and the others.  "You think that you can run in that dress of yours?"

     "I was trained to fight in any thing." Krisa laughed.

     "Look there they are!"

     "Who's he talking to?"

     "Zed, you did well."

     "Thank you, Master Zead."

     "Listen!  Someone's behind you!"

     "Hold it right there!"  Jim yelled holding out his reloaded gun.

     "The weak spot is…the tip of the tail." Krisa said.  She took a star shaped chip from her hair and threw it at one of the soldiers' tails.  POP!  The soldier exploded.  "Weak spot found.  Hee Hee Hee!"

     "Who are you?!" Zed yelled. 

     "I am a nightmare.  Die you!  Go to hell!"  Krisa screamed.

     "Oh, she's in her fighting mood again.  Oh well."  Jim sighed.  BANG!  POP!  BANG!  POP!

     "Soldiers gone.  Your turn."  Krisa whispered in an evil way.  POP!  Zed disappeared.  Zead looked scared.  "Good bye."

     BANG!  Jim shot him in the tail.  "He didn't pop!"

     "This sword has to do something tonight." STAB!

     "You…you…you…p..eo..ple…are…in..sane."  Zead then lay on the floor, breathing heavily.  Blood came.  Green blood.  The blood started to turn red.  Suddenly something came out of its tail.  POP!  Zead exploded.

     "I almost feel sorry for him," Krisa said coldly.  "What's this thing?"

     "His life energy.  He was a 'robot.'  A living creature with machine parts in it.  He must have been badly wounded a long time ago."

     "What do we do with it?"

     "Crush it."  SMASH!  "Shall we go back to the wedding?"  Jim held out his arm and Krisa took it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     "I now pronounce you husband and wife."

     Gene and Mel shared a gentle kiss, and so did Jim and Krisa.

The End
