Dragon Ball Saiyan Redemption
Episode 16: The Wedding: Uninterrupted
"Time to finish you off!" Raditz yelled as he thrust his hand right into Pistachio's skull.
"That was amazing Raditz," Fasha said.
"Yeah, where did you learn that technique?" Shugesh asked.
"I copied it off of the one who killed me," Raditz responded.
"How come I've never seen it?" Bardock asked.
"I was keeping it a secret from you. I thought five hundred years ought to have done it. I was going to use it against you when you least expected it. But unfortunately, Pistachio showed up and when I learned how dangerous he actually was, I had to reveal it. So now you know my dirty little secret."
"Well I thank you for exposing it. You pretty much saved our lives. And I can't thank you enough for it," Borgos said.
"I can't take all the credit. Thank Vegeta too. If it weren't for those magic seeds he found, I wouldn't have had the energy needed to pull off that technique. Hey, Vegeta? Where did you find those seeds?"
"I've told you the answer to that already. I honestly don't know. I highly doubt that they were there by coincidence but I don't think the gods had us in mind when they were thinking of a daily miracle," Vegeta responded.
"Well one thing is clear," Torah stated.
"What is it dear?" Fasha asked tenderly.
"We need another wedding." The Saiyans looked around as they saw the whole church in ruins. Shattered glass was everywhere and dust was floating in the air.
"You know something Torah? You're right about that," Bardock agreed.A few months had passed as Torah and Fasha were about to take part in a more fancy wedding ceremony. The marriage was held at Satan City Church which had the exclusive honor of being the most elegant and romantic church of all. This church had a sixty foot tall steeple, statues of gargoyles and dragons all around it, a circular, stained glass window 30 feet in diameter and all the rest of the 128 windows were stained glass as well. Some were just random patterns; some were of particular religious moments of Earth's past, while others just portrayed religious symbols and people. Inside the church, there was even more flowers than last time, a more grander organ with more clear and crisp sound coming from the pipes and a much bigger seating capacity. In pink and white flowers, the words, "Torah and Fasha Forever" were written. Fasha and Torah were already down the aisle with some changes in what they wore. Fasha was wearing a white dress with a transparent veil, a lacy, frilled skirt that trailed about a foot behind her and had no Saiyan modifications to it whatsoever. Torah had on a black tuxedo and black pants. In one of the churches many seats Raditz sat next to a pile of Saiyan armor. The ceremony was about to continue with a minister wearing black and a white piece of fabric around his collar spoke.
"We have gathered here today to join Torah Toma and Fasha Celipe in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here who can give just cause to why these two should not be wed, speak now, or forever hold your piece." The group of Saiyans looked around as Bardock did a most surprising thing. He stood up.
"What is Bardock doing?" Shugesh asked Borgos.
"I have no idea," Borgos said.
"What are you doing Bardock?" Torah asked.
"Yeah Father. What are you doing?"
"It better be good," Vegeta said in a fierce tone. Bardock ignored the questions and comments and walked closer and closer to the couple whose dreams were about to be crushed.
"You may be my best friend but so help me god, I will destroy you if need be. I became Super Saiyan before you so that makes me stronger than you. So tell me. What the hell are you doing?" Torah demanded.
"It is quite simple really. You don't deserve this," Bardock answered.
"What?" asked Fasha.
"You don't deserve this. The church, those clothes, the ring. You don't deserve any of this,"
"Explain yourself," Vegeta yelled.
"It's really quite obvious. Don't you agree that these two should not be wed in this church?"
"No. In fact, if anyone deserves a wedding, it's them!" Raditz responded.
"Well I don't."
"Why is that Bardock?" asked Shugesh.
"Simple."
"Yeah?"
"It's too plain."
"What?" asked Torah.
"It's too plain. I've seen what you've accomplished and I think that what you are settling for is too plain. You deserve a ring with a diamond that is the size of the ones found in the center of the Earth. You deserve a dress more extravagant than that. Torah, you deserve to be wed to the woman of your dreams in a church far grander than anything here on Earth. The ceremony should be viewed by not just your friends but your whole family as well. You deserve a wedding fit for the King and Queen. You don't deserve this low-level Earth setting. You both deserve to be wed on Vegeta," Bardock explained. Every Saiyan started to calm down when they realized the true purpose of Bardock standing up.
"Well, this is the best we've got. We're not on planet Vegeta anymore, we're on Earth and this is as good as it gets," Fasha stated.
"Well, you deserve better. I mean, my best friend and one of my crew members are being wed and as your commander, I believe that you are too good to grace these pathetic halls with your presence. You deserve the best because you are the best. I've seen you fight with determination most commanders only dream of. You listen to my orders and never question them even if I'm wrong. You are just too good for anything that this pathetic planet can offer. I just want the best for my two crew members."
"That's very sweet Bardock, but as my soon-to-be wife said, we're on planet Earth. Not planet Vegeta. So you should get used to it," Torah commented.
"I know. I just wish you to have what you deserve. That's all."
"So you didn't stand up to say that we don't deserve to get married?" Fasha asked.
"Not in this dump anyway."
"Thank this planet's kami my thinking was wrong," Torah sighed.
"Can we get back to the ceremony at hand please?" asked the minister sternly with a look that could kill.
"Yes. I've said what I needed to say. You may go on." Bardock returned to his seat.
"Did you have to do that Father?" Raditz asked.
"Probably not, but I just wanted to voice my opinion."
"You are a baka!" criticized Vegeta.
"So like I said before, Do you Torah Toma, take Fasha Celipe to be your lawfully wedding wife?"
"I do," said Torah.
"Do you Fasha Celipe, take Torah Toma to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do," Fasha said.
"Torah, take this ring, and place it on Fasha's finger." The minister took out a ring that was perfectly cut and shone brilliantly in the colored light. Torah took the ring and placed it gently on Fasha's finger again.
"Is that it?" Torah asked.
"Yes. Now Fasha, I want you to put this ring on Torah's finger." The minister took out another ring with a bigger band and equally beautiful diamond. Fasha received the ring and slid it on Torah's muscular finger for the second time.
"Done," Fasha said.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." All of the Saiyans looked towards the ceiling. Raditz held the armor tightly. After a second or two, Fasha and Torah thought it was safe and without wasting anytime, embraced each other in a loving hold as they put their lips together and kissed. The minister blessed the two people who were now joined in holy matrimony and closed his bible. The Saiyans quickly stood up and rejoiced at the fact that the wedding was over and nothing ruined it. Torah and Fasha Toma ran to the front of the church and the doors opened. The organ played the song so many people love to hear at a wedding. The Saiyans threw rice in the air as the church doors opened to reveal a limousine waiting for the newly married couple. The chauffeur opened the door and the new couple went in. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the driver's seat. The Saiyans were standing on the church steps as they watched Torah and Fasha retreat into the distance.
"Do you think they'll videotape their honeymoon?" asked Shugesh perversely.
"Shut up Shugesh," Borgos said as he gently elbowed Shugesh in the stomach. The white limousine with a sign that read, "Just Married" rode off into the setting sun and disappeared from view, heralding the end of the Pistachio Saga.
