(dream)
Jessy and Shannon arrived at their home on Corneria. They had finally gotten married and Fumiko was following behind them.
They came in and saw Seto and Terra, the mother wolf holding her son's hand.
"Is there anything you want to say to mom?" Seto pointed to his mother.
"Yes, I'm sorry and... I love you and Shannon." Jessy told the wolfess.
"No way, those are not going to work!" Terra told her former husband.
The three were surprised.
"Get on your knees you wolf-lynx family and beg for forgiveness!" Seto demanded.
The war wolf said "Please, I'm sorry."
But the wolf family laughed. Soon the room was on fire, and Jessy, Shannon and Fumiko were surrounded by more faces, angry at them.
"Jessy, it's your fault I lost my romance to Shannon!" Terra yelled.
"I'm sorry."
"It's your fault you left me, you're not my dad anymore!" Seto yelled.
"Don't make him suffer like this!" Shannon begged.
"It's your fault you cut off my left hand!" General Scales yelled.
"Leave my dad alone!" Fumiko cried.
"It's your fault I lost everything to you, my father to Krystal, my friends, my family, my property, my drugs, my weapons, my fucking CloudRunner pet!" Eric yelled.
"Please... I'm sorry!" Jessy begged.
"It's your fault you killed my father!" A young crime boss yelled.
"Please, I'm sorry and I love you..." Jessy said to Terra.
"All your fault! All your fault! All your fault!" They chanted at the three until...
(end of dream)
Jessy woke up screaming. He had tears running down his face again.
"This shouldn't be happening... I loved Shannon and lost her once... I had dreamed of getting her back... Here she is now..." He looked at his wife while sniffing tearfully. "But... I never got the opportunity to tell Terra.. how I cared for her... and loved her..."
"What is it, Jessy?" Anna asked.
"Terra, I couldn't tell her how I loved her."
"Who?"
"Terra..."
Miyu told her friend, "Did you try speaking to her?"
"No..." He looked away from his friends and spoke to himself to Terra, "Please... try to understand... Even though I have my Shannon with me, and my wolf-lynx kid... I LOVE YOU!"
He went to Terra's hut and knocked on her door, "I need to talk to you, Terra. Please, let me in. I love you..."
He heard Terra say "You already have my answer... And it's still "I hate you"!" She added, "I was right, I'll never find another husband like Seto..."
"You can't throw your life away like this!"
Jessy was spotted by Krystal and Bagi, "How about I cheer you up with a party for your daughter?" The Cerinian suggested.
"What good will that do?!"
"Good enough for you and your daughter." Bagi gripped her breasts.
Terra went back to her bed and told herself "I've been preparing for death since... Since Shannon killed my relationship with Jessy."
She looked at her mirror and said "Husbands are more responsible for the lives of their wives, and for their deaths. Boyfriends are also responsible that way. Well, I should've died with my first husband."
Hours later, the girls were getting the final preparations done for Fumiko's welcome party. Shannon came upon Jessy who was crying in his sleep. "Here, let me try and speak to Terra."
The two went back to Terra's hut and knocked on her door. They could hear crying and the lynx opened the door. They saw Terra in tears. She had lost everything, her life, her marriage, her chances at a family with anyone.
Shannon walked up alone and the wolfess walked up to her nemesis and saw a gun in her holster. The mother wolf looked at the blue-eyed lynx with tear ridden brown eyes then took the gun out of Shannon's holster and said to her "You know sometimes, when you lose a girlfriend for a boyfriend, you try to make the pain go away. Then it eventually goes away like it never happened. It's never going away from me, and I can't control my tears over this, Shannon. And I can't spend the rest of my life as a single mother to Seto anymore... I wanna die, I want you to do it. Don't let Jessy see it. You loved him he got you rings, you got him his child, you partnered with him, you married him, you stole him from me, you'd kill me..."
After explaining it with tears of sadness, she armed the gun and put it in Shannon's right hand.
The wolf woman begged, "Shoot me now... Promise you'll take care of both Seto and your kid after you do so... and be a good wife to Jessy... Fire..."
(bridge song: The unreleased song when Han first meets Rin)
Terra looked away from Jessy who was trying his best to not cry and said, "Goodbye, Jessy..."

Corneria Military Academy, training grounds
Fox and Spock came out with bamboo swords "Alright, Mr. Spock. You know how melee fighting was on Vulcan?" Fox asked.
"We normally use the lirpa in the challenge for marriage. If both survived, it would move to the ahn-woon."
"What are the lirpa and ahn-woon?"
Spock told him, "The lirpa is the mix a club and a voulge. The blade on one end has Vulcan words. The club on the other end could be used to break bones. The ahn-woon is like the scarf, except it can be used like the whip or a garrotte."
Fox got his head gear on, and told Spock to do so too. "On guard!" the vulpine ordered.
The two clashed their swords and Fox tried to hit his friend on the shoulder but Spock's bamboo sword hit the fox on the chest. "See? Harmless bamboo weaponry. Bamboo hits you, you lose." Fox reminded.
"Fascinating."
"Getting better."
A voice called, "Hey, I don't think Vulcan find me easy!"
They turned, it was a dingo.
"Who are you, son?"
The dingo got out a bamboo staff, "From Bloomdale to Tattaglia, I fought them all, and they call me, Erwin Praedo!"
"Interesting... but almost impossible." Spock pointed with a raised eyebrow.
Back on Sauria
Terra prepared to accept death, and could not stop crying.
But Krystal ran in, knocked the gun out of Shannon's hand. It discharged on the ground and she tackled Terra held her down, "DO IT, SHOOT ME!" She yelled, but Krystal slapped her and brought her into Shannon's arms and made them kiss.
"If it were Eric's pissant idea, you'd be with your husband, Seto!" Krystal told her.
Terra tried to break free, but Shannon gently hugged her, and made her calm down.
"What were you thinking, Krystal?" Shannon asked.
The Cerinian smiled, "I felt guilty at first, but now feel that you Shannon and Terra should be Jessy's wives."
"You really think so?" Both Terra and Shannon were surprised. The vixen nodded.
"Lord take me now!" Jessy slapped himself.
"Let's not forget about Seto, he needs you, just as you need him. He lost his biological father, and losing you to suicide would be too much of a burden for your son!" Krystal told him.
Terra finally smiled, so did Jessy and Shannon. "Krystal! Thank you for bringing the three of us together!" The gold lynx could not stop crying with happiness.
The black wolf said, "I need to speak to Terra in private."
The two girls left and Jessy hugged his wolf lover, "Listen... I'm sorry I made things so complicated with our love lives, but I couldn't abandon my child, because that's how I am!"
Terra looked at him for a moment, then kissed him. "It's alright. I'm fine with all this because we'll still be together, and that's all that matters." She brought her muzzle to his ear and said, "I love you." quietly.
"And I do you." He whispered in her ear then kissed her passionately, like they should have a year ago when they met.
Back on Corneria
"Okay, on guard." Fox called.
Praedo blocked some bamboo hits then hit Spock on the abdomen.
"You lost." Erwin snickered.
They reset and Erwin went on the offensive, then blocked a hit before hitting Spock with his bamboo spear.
"Do you wish to continue?" Spock offered.
Praedo took off his helmet and said, "Of course, I want to continue!" He walked to some live swords and said "Let's do this the old fashioned way: first blood drawn from the torso loses!"
He threw a katana at Spock, which the Vulcan caught, then the dingo got another katana and charged at the pointed eared humanoid.
(start song: Ubawareta Junsui na Kokoro no Kesshou from Sailor Moon S at 1:41)
Spock blocked some swings with his katana. He blocked an attack that would've impaled him. The Vulcan did a downward swing but was blocked there too. Next the men clashed their swords while Fox watched.
(1:53)
They held their blades at one another's until a second later, they broke off. Spock would've reached his shoulder, but the dingo slapped his hand away then swung his sword again, and was blocked. Praedo pierced his sword out four times, but they were blocked to. He tried move around the Vulcan, but he sensed it and pushed him, Erwin got knocked out a window.
(2:19)
They were now out in the hall and continued swinging their swords while some of the students were astonished by the Vulcan.
(2:32)
Erwin ran to try and retreat as the Vulcan followed. When they reached the end of the hall, the dog turned and swung his sword down.
(2:45)
Spock realized it was a fake retreat, and they ran out to the courtyard. They continued attacking until, Spock managed to land a cut on Erwin's chest.
(stop at 2:58)
Fox ran out and said, "That's enough!"
Erwin turned to the orange-brown fox then the Vulcan, "It seems you beat me, Vulcan."
"This was a near illogical fight."
Back on Sauria
Seto opened his eyes and saw Shannon and Terra standing over him, "Ah! Mom, is that a ghost?"
"No, Seto." Terra pointed to her future wife, "This is your second mom."
"No, this can't be real. Shannon can't be here, she's-" The boy wolf protested.
Shannon petted his head, "Alive and well."
"What happened to you, Seto?" Terra asked.
"We were walking in the woods talking about Jessy, then, some man in a mask came by. He said he was hunting, he had no name, and when he tried to razor blade Nicole, I took one for her and lost conscious.
"Now, get ready to watch the wedding." the mother wolf reminded.
Minutes later, Jessy, Terra and Shannon were walking down the wedding aisle to Hear Comes the Bride being played by Beaker. The girls and some of the boys were watching. Jessy and Shannon were wearing wedding clothes and the rings from Jessy's necklace on their fingers. Terra was wearing nothing but a ring spared by Krystal.
Jenny gave a bouquet of flowers to Terra.
Luna was standing before them, bearing a prayer book. She began her speech:
"Ladies, and gentlemen. We are gathered here, to bring back together lovers. Love which had been destroyed by death and cheating."
Krystal watched the wedding with a tearful smile, she was sitting between Katt and Bagi.
A few minutes later, Luna asked Jessy, "Do you Jessy L. Wolf, war hero against the Aparoids and Venom Remnants, orphaned by Venom, take these two ladies to be your lawfully wedded wives? To have and hold until the day you die?"
"I do." Jessy nodded.
"Terra Manchester, do you retake this wolf and take this lynx to be your lawfully wedded husband and wife?"
"I do." Terra smiled.
"And you, Shannon Watson, do you take these wolves to be your lawfully wedded husband and wife respectively, for as long as you live?"
"I do!" Shannon said.
The black cat called out, "If anyone has second thoughts on this marriage, speak out, or forever hold your peace."
Beaker was about to speak out, but Fumiko and Seto stared at him enough to make him duck his head into his shirt.
Fortunately, no one protested. "Then, with the power invested in me, you are hereby declared husband, and wife, and wife. You may kiss the brides."
Jessy gave the kiss of true love to first Shannon, then Terra.
Beaker began playing the Wedding March as the groups cheered. While the newlyweds walked down the aisle again, Eliza ordered, "Present," 21 lionesses aimed rifles into the air, "Fire!"
The 21 gun salute was given. "Fire!" another 21 shots were fired.
Jenny threw the bouquet and Shannon caught as another 21 gun salute was given.
As soon as Jessy and his wives got their first wedding cake piece, Shannon began stripping off her wedding dress to Matt Monro's Portrait of My Love.
After she was done, she hugged her wolf husband and wolf wife then said, "Jessy, Terra, I'll always love you..."
