Phew... Back after the almost-two-weeks exams! As I promised, here's the final chapter and the last of the ZX series!
Black and White Mega Men
Chapter 20 – The Special Day
A week had passed since the four Mega Men joined the Guardians. The deck of the Guardian Base was filled with decorations and flowers. There were also tables and chairs being set up by the four before they covered the tables with white colored tablecloths.
A red carpet divided the deck into two sides and one end of the carpet which was near the elevator inside was folded to fit in the deck. At the other end of the carpet, an altar was placed. On the left side of the altar, there was also an organ. The food prepared for the invited guests was lined up on long tables covered with white tablecloths, one at each side of the deck.
The blonde haired commander came to deck and saw that the four Chosen Ones were still busy setting up the tables and chairs. Prairie smiled as she was impressed by their work on the flowers and the other wedding decorations. Thetis, who had just finished covering a table with a tablecloth, noticed her and smiled.
"We're almost done with decors! How is the happy couple doing?" Thetis asked with a cheerful smile.
"I've checked on Vent moments ago and he is fine, but it seems that Aile is very nervous about the wedding," Prairie answered as the other three Chosen Ones walked over to her.
"We're finished, Commander! So how do we do with the entire wedding decorations?" Atlas asked.
"It's excellent! The four of you have passed the trial and have officially become Guardians!" Prairie replied with a smile.
"That's great! I can't wait to do some work with the other Guardians!" Thetis commented cheerfully.
"Okay, the wedding will start in a few hours from now on so you still have some time to get ready," Prairie said.
"Understood," Siarnaq said shortly before the four of the left the deck, leaving Prairie alone.
The blonde haired commander walked slowly towards the edge of the deck and looked up at the blue sky. She smiled sadly and closed her eyes.
'Giro… I hope you're still here to see this… Your sacrifice for Vent and Aile wasn't wasted after all…' Prairie sadly thought before she left back to her room.
A few hours later, the guests had come to the deck. Some of them were Hunters and Guardians, but some of the townspeople were also invited to the ceremony. The remaining two of Sage Trinity were also invited to the wedding.
Meanwhile in Vent's room, Vent was getting ready along with Grey. Some of Aile's stuff was also in his room as she would move to his room after the wedding. Grey noticed that Vent was so calm since that morning.
"Hey, you're not nervously at all?" Grey asked with confusion.
"Nope, not at all! In fact, I feel excited!" Vent replied with a smile as Grey nodded slowly.
"Okay… By the way, I heard from Ashe that Aile was so nervous that she couldn't stop talking to her!" Grey said.
"Wow, really? I know that Aile isn't such a quiet person, but I have never heard about her talking non-stop like Ashe!" Vent commented as Grey patted his back.
"Well… she's worse than Ashe now, brother…" Grey replied.
Meanwhile in Aile's room, Aile was pacing back and forth while talking. Ashe was sitting on her bed while staring at the nervous brown haired bride.
"I know that I'm deeply in love with Vent, but I didn't know that it was going to lead into this! Well… it's not like that I don't want to have a family with him, but I thought that we were only going to be just best friends and nothing else…" Aile continued speaking, not noticing that Ashe had covered her ears.
'She's way worse than me…' Ashe thought as she had got bored with Aile's babbling.
A few minutes later, the couple along with Ashe and Grey was called to the deck to start the wedding ceremony. Vent and Grey went to the deck first and walked to the altar.
Vent wore a white shirt under a black groom's jacket. Small white plastic flowers were put inside the pocket of the jacket and some of the popped out of the pocket. He wore long black pants along with a pair of black shoes.
Grey wore the similar clothes as Vent, but without the flowers on the jacket's pocket. The red cables on his back were sticking out of his jacket as he decided not to hide them.
Vent stopped at the altar and Grey stood behind him. They saw that Thomas of Sage Trinity was the priest and Mikhail was the organist for the wedding. Mikhail started playing the organ as the bride stepped into the deck. Vent turned to the entrance to deck and blushed at the sight of Aile.
Aile had her hair untied and let it got blown softly by the wind in the night. She wore red colored lipstick and white wedding dress along with a pair of white high-heeled shoes. She was also carrying a bouquet of pink and yellow flower in her hands.
Ashe walked behind Aile as they both walked towards the altar. Ashe wore a long sleeveless light silver dress with a pair of white high-heeled shoes. A red ribbon tied her silver hair up into a ponytail.
Aile walked over beside Vent and held his hand while she had her flowers given to Ashe for a while. Vent suddenly felt nervous after he had seen Aile in her wedding dress.
"Aile… Y-You look beautiful…" Vent whispered as Aile blushed.
"Thanks… You look handsome too…" Aile whispered back.
Thomas started the ceremony and the couple said their vows to each other.
"Now I pronounced you husband and wife," Thomas finally said as the newly married couple kissed.
After the couple broke the kiss, they turned around and saw that the other guests were clapping for them. Aile shed a happy tear as Vent wrapped an arm around her. From that day, they were husband and wife.
