CHAPTER 9: LAKE OF GLASS
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE ANIME SO DON'T SUE ME. I ALSO DON'T OWN THE SONG EITHER.
It was a few weeks later in Nermia that Ranma held his wedding with Akane. Cologne and Shampoo designed the clothes for them in remembrance of Mart and her sacrifice to all of them. It was surprising that Saffron showed up to offer his blessing by making Akane a dress with the phoenix on the print and Ranma a dragon design on the clothes. It was a happy day for the couple for the rest of the neighborhood was repaired and Kodachi was put in the mental institution. Ukyo started to go out with Ryouga so she stopped chasing Ranma and Shampoo and Moose started to date as well. Cologne gladly accepted that Ranma was not apart of the Amazon tribe with the help of Akane. The wedding was held in the Tendo's back yard and as usual Nabiki tried to get easy cash off of everyone. Lamika and Shima where also there enjoying the sights. The wedding seemed right for them as they talked to many people Lamika felt that they should return to their realm. Cologne used the mirror to take them back. It was then that the couple decided to take a honeymoon to the tropics and have a little time to themselves. Shima looked at Cologne and smirked that wolfish smirk of hers. "You know Cologne I was thinking with all the couple that we met I think there are weddings in the other realms as well." She said and the old Amazon smiled, "I think you are right Shima for Jakal did take the loved one away before the annual ceremony so I think now is the good time to tie the knots as they say." They both began to chuckle. Lamika was also smiling at the comment as she gazed into the stars.
FUSHIGI YUGI UNIVERSE
Suzaku stood in the middle of the temple where Miaka was praying as Tamahome came into view. It was a good thing that they where married before Jakal came to them and Miaka was filled with the news that she and Tama where having their first child. Miaka had to do DNA testing to make sure that it was Tama's not Jakal's and it turns out that Tama is the father. Miaka guessed that she conceived before the abduction. The phoenix god smiled at his priestess as she bow to the god of the south. He smiled back and offered his blessing to the couple as they departed out the door. "Hey Tama congratulations on becoming a father," Said Tasuki as he and Chichiri came into view they smiled at the happy couple as they exited the room. Tama could not help but think about all that happened to them during the past few days and months. Miaka smiled at this and knew what he was thinking. "Are you thinking about that strange boy again?" she said and Tama nodded, "For one being possessed by a dragon he sure as hell kicked that monsters ass," Tama said as they walked further. "Are you talking about the Saiyan no Miko?" Chichiri asked them and Tama stopped and looked at him, "How do you know that he was a miko?" he asked and Chichiri smiled. "Simple, when you described how he used those unusual powers of his then I guessed he was a Miko. Miaka is a worshiping miko one who calls upon the gods. Your friend what was his name again?" "Heero Yuy," "Yea Heero was a possessed Miko one who was possessed by an immortal with almost god like powers but is not a god. And when I said the Saiyan no Miko I meant the Dragon Saiyan the guardian of the realms. I knew that when you said she sacrificed herself to save everyone then I knew it was her no da." Tasuki laughed at this and continued on not saying a word until he grabbed something to drink. "Well for all I care this Dragon Saiyan that you where talking about is gone and nothing can change it." Said Tasuki as he walked further down the hall. He turned to everyone and blushed, "Hey are you people going to follow me to the restroom leave me alone!" he said when they realized that it was indeed the restroom and they all burst out laughing. Tasuki grunted and went in.
EVANGELION UNIVERSE:
It was also at this time that the angels where destroyed and the world was safe. Asuka had not said a word to Shinji but he knew why. Toji and Hikari started to go out and Keisuke did not want to talk about the matter of the Dragon fight. Misato was still shaken by it but Shinji could see that Asuka was ready to talk. They left Rei to walk by herself back to her room since it was nothing to her and they walked out of the city. "I know what you want to talk about," he said without alerting Asuka. The red head turned to him, "Yea now I will face the fact that I was raped and pregnant for a time but thank goodness that after the war the egg disappeared." She said and Shinji laughed, "Well look at it this way at least we are no longer fighting angels," and she had to smile at that even though it was a small one. "You know Shinji you are like a brother to me actually more then that for you risk your life for a bitch like me." She said not looking at him. Shinji walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder making her turn to him. Slowly he cups her face in his hand and kissed her. She was stunned but she then returned it. "That is why I saved you Asuka for you and Misato, and Hikari. Or at least I helped to save you Heero did most of the work." The memory or Heero flooded Shinji's mind he wondered what he was doing now that he has Relena back with him. "Yea the only one who never care was wonder girl," she said and Shinji laughed at that, "Yea who knew that she was my mothers clone." They both started laughing. They then headed home for some needed rest and to do their homework for school. "You know Shinji the Jakal guy is worse then any Angel that I have ever met. For one thing the Angels just cut you up or beat the shit out of you not try to take you virginity away just to spawn a new breed of monsters." She said rather loudly thankfully no one was working. And they had the street to themselves. Upon reaching home Misato was already indorsed in another beer as her and Pen Pen where having some quality time together. The two teen started at her and then left the room.
ESCAFLOWNE UNIVERSE:
"Van Fanel get you sorry but over here and help me with this!" said Hitomi as she and Merle pulled up another decoration. Spreading his wings Van flew up towards the ceiling and hammered in the decoration. It was mid winter and there was a ball going on to celebrate the new king and queen of Fanelia. Merle was having fun leaping from chandelier to chandelier put up various decorations and lights. Alan was in the other room with a few other people making decorations for the outside of the palace. The ground themselves where decorated with flashy colors and the seal of Fanelia hung over the front door. As it was the wedding went as planned and the happy couple enjoyed the festivities. Hitomi looked beautiful in the dress that was custom designed for her. The design was of many dragons that circled the moons. On her head was a crown with both the dragon and the phoenix on top in honor of their lost friend. As they started the music for the dancing Van grabbed Hitomi's hand and began to dance with her at the same time striking a conversation. "I am sorry you had to go through all that pain with that monster," Van said to Hitomi and she looked at him, "Don't say that at least I was not pregnant with his spawn. Who knows what he would do to the world." She said as tears came out of her eyes. Van hugged her, "and that girl risked her life to save all of us and kill the monster." Van had to remember that the last fight of the Dragon Saiyan. It was then also that his wings came unfolded and the people cheered as they shared a kiss on the dance floor. The people of Fanelia got use to the idea that their royalty was a draconian and his offspring will be as well. The night was full of romance as well as fun.
DRAGONBALL Z UNIVERSE:
"Trunks! Trunks!" called Vegeta as he came down the dark passages of the Dragon temple to find his son staring at the paintings on the wall. "What are you doing?" he asked the boy and Trunks was busy looking at the painting ignoring his father. "TRUNKS!" Vegeta bellowed and the young man jumped, "Dad I did not know that you where there!" he said as he looked at the paintings once more. "Yes I know but what are you doing?" "Studying Saiyan history for it is written on the walls." Replied Trunks as he continued to look and Vegeta smirked at this. "I thought you had to work or did you cut out again?" he asked the purple hair saiyan, "No I got out early for I managed to finish everything before hand and for the next few months so I can have a vacation. I needed one anyways." He shrugged and his father laughed. The two began to tell stories of what happened during the old days and thought it was a good time to share the father son bonding thing. Vegeta and Trunks became close during the centuries as well as develop a close relationship with each other. Father and son spent the rest of the day telling jokes until Goku showed up. "Hey you third class clean my boots." Vegeta said with a smile and Goku smiled back at the old joke. "Sure my prince would you like mud or shit to go with it!" he said and they all laughed. "I sure miss Mart," said Trunks as he looked at the other two. The laughing stopped and the other saiyans bowed their heads in respect. "I never met a finer warrior including myself for she is powerful but she had to sacrifice herself for us." Goku said and Vegeta got up, "Aren't you forgetting you baka that she is also phoenix so she will arise from her ashes but I guess not I think she chose not to come back till she is needed again." With that he sat down again and the three saiyan said nothing.
It was some time later that the three decided to head home to the waiting families and they all departed. Trunks and Vegeta to Capsule Corporation and Goku to his mountain home and back to Chichi.
GUNDAM WING UNIVERSE:
Wind and sand blew across the lake of glass as Quatre and Maganacs lowered a statue over the edge of the glass lake. The pure shine on it almost blinded them but they managed to lower the statue on the lakes edge. Wiping his brow Quatre managed to smile to himself. Along with the statue came the sign glass lake and below the letters was the story of how it was formed. The statue was of Heero with wing surrounded by a dragon and a phoenix in the Asian style of sculpture. The wedding that was planned was being held in the nearby city of Cairo Egypt and Quatre did not want to miss that. Having been given rights to the lake Quatre made sure it became an international monument to the dragon that saved them all. He was still troubled though for Heero and Relena could not afford any wedding clothes even though Quatre had paid for everything. Well everything except the dress and the Tuxedo for Heero. The wind began to howl some more as sand began to pick up. Everyone began to pack and head back towards the city and away from the sandstorm. Quatre was glad that he put the statue by the lake side hoping future generations would remember the day a dragon saved them all.
Wufei and Sally had spent quite a bit to get Heero and Relena's measurements as they hurried down the street with the packages in their hands. Sally had Relena's dress and Wufei had Heero's suit. As they passed the next block low and behold they bump into Trowa and Catherine as they where getting something to eat. "What are you two up to?" Cathy said to them and the two shrugged. "What is in the bag?" they asked and Wufei looked around then whispered, "it is for Heero and Relena's wedding," he said and the two nodded then the preventers walked off saying their goodbyes. As soon as they where out of sight the both heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness that they did not push any further," said Sally, "I know," replied Wufei as he checked the contents in the bag and heaved a sigh of relief, "Nothing damaged?" asked Sally as she checked the bag and she nodded, "Good," replied Wufei. They both hurried off towards the hotel.
Decoration where being set for the wedding and Heero was as worried as ever for he still could not find a suit that would fit him. Relena was having and equally hard time for the dresses that would fit her where already taken for the next six months! "Hey Heero come on man I need your help with this!" said Duo as he tired to get the table set up right and Heero helped him. There was a problem with another one of the decorations for the woman who was making the setup for the cake did not speak English for she was Japanese. Heero walked up to her and began to speak in Japanese, "what is the problem ma'am?" he asked and she looked at him, "I can't get the goons to make the table lower for the legs are unstable and if all the legs can't go lower then the cake will fall." She said and Heero in return told the workers what she said. The lady thanked him and left.
It was some time later that Marimaia walked towards the glass lake. The wind had died down to a gentle breeze but to her it was nothing. She let the rising moon greet her as the sun had begun to set. She gazed at her reflection in the glass and began to walk out to the middle of the lake. The smooth shinny glass reflected her footsteps as she walked out her heat thumping. It was then that she came to a figure of a dragon in the glass. It was black as night but it looks like it was flying in the clouds. She kneeled and looked at the creature, "Oh great guardian of the worlds that I heard about you have given you life to protect us I thank you personally. That is why I came here to this lake of glass to your presence if I so need and to thank you again for your help. Well I better get going Heero and Relena's wedding will start shortly and where the ceremony is going to take place it has a nice view of the lake well I better get going." With that Marimaia left the lake surface towards the hotel unknowing the glow in the dragon's eyes.
Wufei walked into the hallway where the court is getting ready for the ceremony and Heero was very nervous. The coat he was wearing was far too big and it made him look like a little kid in it. "Hey Wufei what is in the bag?" said a very nosy Duo, "None of your business Maxwell it is for Heero not you!" he yelled at the braided pilot. Quatre looked at the Chinese symbols on the bag and knew that what ever it was it was expensive. Trowa looked at the bag and did not say a word as Wufei went into the dressing room for he and Heero looked out of place.
Sally had already gotten dressed for the court and looked at the bag beside her. She then looked into the brides dressing chamber. Taking the bag she hurried to the dressing room. "Where do you think you are going Sally?" asked Noin as she smiled at Sally, "I have a present for Relena that I think she could use for the ceremony." She said as she entered the room Relena was crying for her clothes where too loose and the dress was dirty beyond repair. Sally smiled sadly at the bride and wondered if the groom was doing the same thing. "Relena?" she said as she came up to the bride. Relena her makeup not even on yet was crying. Sally could see her eyes full of tears. "I have something for you Relena it is late but I think it would fit you nicely." She said as she took out the dress for her. Relena gasped at the sight of a beautiful Chinese red bridal dress. "Oh Sally it is beautiful how did you afford it?" she said as she took the dress. "Wufei and I knew a friend in the tailor business so she made both you and Heero something for this occasion." With that she helped Relena into her dress and applied her makeup. "Sally I don't know how to thank you enough." "You don't have to just relax and go with the flow." Relena was filled with joy.
"What do you think Heero?" Wufei asked his friend and Heero was agape to find such a beautiful suit. "Wufei I can't thank you enough," he said, "Don't mention it hey speaking of which why don't you show the guys after all it is your wedding we are here for isn't it?" Heero smiled and came out of the room. "Hey Heero I never thought you would come …… Holy shit Heero where did you get the suit?" Duo shouted and had his mouth wide open. Quatre was stunned as well, "He, Heero man you look good in that thing." He managed to stutter. Trowa lifted an eyebrow but said nothing as he too admired Heero's suit. It was a red Chinese suit with black dragons going around it. "It is a traditional Chinese wedding suit and a friend of mine made it for you." Wufei said bowing in respect and Heero nodded his reply.
Zechs was having the time of his life thinking that Heero after asking him for his wedding suit was going to see the worst wedding ever. What he did not expect was Heero coming out in a red Chinese wedding suit with black dragons looming around it.
You must always remember
Life can be a challenge
He was stunned along with all the other guests as to see Heero come out in a suit like that. The priest smiled at Wufei for he knew that the Chinese man had a suit for him. The sun had begun to set over the horizon as the priest began to say his thing.
Life may seem impossible
It never easy when so much is on the line
The music began to play and all the guests looked to the bride. Heero's mouth dropped at the sight of Relena all clad in the same red colored clothes but it was a beautiful dress. On it was the designs of the phoenix with a crown on her head.
But you can make a difference
With courage you can set things right
Heero had his eyes set on his bride who looked more beautiful then ever. As the sun set over Glass Lake the light that it reflected shone on her dress and it gave the illusion that her dress was glowing. Taking her hand Zechs led her down the isle also entranced by the beauty of the dress.
The gift to dream and make dreams real is yours and mine
The power of one
Begins with believing
It starts with the heart and flows through the soul
As she shone like a goddess Relena made her way to the alter to say her vows to her life mate. Heero was also entrance and bent low, "You look beautiful," he said and she smiled at him.
And changes the world
Imagine how life will be when we if we stand in unity
The priest said the vows and the couple were happily married to the joy of everyone. The reception was in a dinning room just below the roof to the delight of the couple.
Each of us holds the key to the power of one
Each of us is chosen
There's a mission just for you
Just look inside
You will be surmise
What you can do
The power of one
Begins with believing
It starts with the heart and flows through the soul
And changes the world
Imagine how life will be
When we stand in unity
Each of us holds the key
To the power of one
And one by one
We can make the world
A much better place
The power of one
Begins with believing
Its starts with the heart and flows through the soul and changes the world
Imagine how life will be when we stand in unity
Each of us holds the key
It's inside of you and me
Each of us holds the key
To the power of one.
The power of one
The reception was held as a success. Duo as best man stood up, "I want to make an announcement," and everyone looked at the braided man before them. "All I can say is congratulations Heero for all these years you had not even told her and now you did. You are quite the guy man I wish I could get married to a babe just joking Hilde." He said it was then that they head a car explode and the all hurried out to see what caused it. A group of assassins was in the parking lot making their way up to the dismay of the gundam pilots. Noin and Zechs took out their pistols that they where keeping for the occasion. Heero did the same along with the others. Preventers where also there to stop the attempt as the assassins broke into the room and began to open fire. Guests scurried to hide and others began to open fire. Relena was smiling, "Everything is back to normal." She said and Heero nodded.
On the other side of the room Hilde and Noin where firing back at a group of them when they heard it. It was a haunting melody. The assassins stopped what they where doing along with everyone else. As they looked out the window at the rising moon. Heero was the first to run for the stairs on to the roof. Relena and the others ran after him. The terrorists stopped what they where doing to look at the lake. In the silver of the moon it began to glow gold the melody growing stronger. It was haunting and full of life as the glass itself began to glow. Quatre and Trowa where taken off as the statue that Quatre made began to warp and melt as well in the heat of the lake. It became a lake of golden fire as the song that it made grew louder. Suddenly the fire shot into the air and revealed a black dragon singing in the light of the moon. The crowd was stunned as it flew towards the hotel the lake resumed its original form but with a statue of Heero in glass surrounded by a dragon. The terrorists began to run along with some of the guests but where stopped as the dragon sang. It flew over them and did a amazing amount of maneuvers. Its song getting higher and more full as it finally dived towards the couple. Landing on the railing of the Hotel wings spread wide. Heero smiled at the sight that greeted him as the dragon opened its mouth and the same haunting notes filled the air to the awe of the crowd. As it died down the dragon looked at the couple eyes shone bright.
So we meet again Heero Yuy Saiyan no miko it said and Heero smiled. "Welcome back Mart glad you could make it." He said the dragon rumbled a greeting at the newly weds. People shifted uncontrollably as the dragon bent its head down at the couple. Are you happy now Heero? Mart asked him and Heero nodded his head, "I am very happy thank you." With a slight nod the dragon lifted itself into the air and flew away into the rising moon singing a haunting song and disappeared. Heero started into that blackness of the night, "Dragon of the night," and with that he ended the feast.
The end.
