May 25, 2017
Noon
Beacon Grounds
This is it. The moment everyone has been waiting for: Darrel and Blake's wedding. Everyone has done the proper requirements to get this event ready: Beacon is handling the catering, Silvers Iscariot (A friend of Winter Schnee) is handling the music with her drones, both sides of the bride and groom's wedding are handling the various other parts.
Said location of the wedding is the Beacon Courtyard in front of the statue.
Now as for the bride herself...she's currently in her dorm with her team, her mom and Darrel's mom and Coco, all helping her get ready. And she's extremely nervous.
As Weiss is putting on Blake's make-up, she noticed how uneasy Blake is. "You ok, Blake?"Weiss asked, concerned for her teammate.
"Very. I mean, its not everyday a lady gets married. Even if the guy she's going to marry is hands down the hottest guy on Remnant."Blake said, tense as she can be.
"It's ok, my little girl. Every bride is jittery on her wedding day. I was no different."Kali said, reassuring her. "Now that Weiss has done your make-up, time for your hair."Kali and Janet went to work on Blake's long black locks.
Meanwhile with, Darrel he's in his dorm getting his suit on. For the occasion, he's wearing his class ring, and he stares at both the dinosaur bone that serves as the gem and the loving memory for his Grandfather. He clenches his hand and tries to not cry. He then hears a knock. "Come in."He chokes out.
Its his team, Imperious and Ghira. "Are you alright, sir?"Dalton asked, seeing the almost sad look on the shape-shifter's face.
"I'm fine; I just wish my Grandfather was here to see me get hitched."He choked out, shedding a tear or two.
The rest of DIMD hugs him as did Imperious. "I know that he's here. He's watching you from above and he's smiling knowing you are going to be with the one woman you love for as long as you both live."Imperious said with a sense of deep meaning.
Darrel dried his eyes with a green cloth. "I know and I'll do this for him."He said with confidence in his voice.
Ghira walked up to him, his suit strained due to his impressive size. "You make sure Blake's going to do just fine with you. And if you hurt you, nothing will save you from me, not even your strongest form."Ghira said, first with a sense of calm and then a little malice.
Darrel gulped. "Yes sir!"
At 3:00 p.m, all the required people are 98% ready.
All their friends and family gathered in set up chairs up front, each dressed in their best dresses/suits. Darrel is up front at the altar, Ozpin being the priest for the occasion. He hummed the Jurassic Park theme to himself to keep him calm. "You nervous?"He asked Ozpin. "On the contrary, shouldn't I be asking you that question?"Ozpin said, rhetorically. "Yeah sure; me Darrel Maximus the one who can become beasts that make the Grimm cower in fear and have taken all forces and won with a few scrapes is nervous of a wedding."He said with sarcasm. "Granted I have been to a wedding or two and have participated in one being one of the groomsmen, but now...I'm the groom. My heart's in my mouth, Oz. Got any advice?"He inquired.
"Just one and its something you have said to many at this campus: Breathe deep, seek peace."Oz said like a professor. "And don't faint."He joked.
Soon enough, the ceremony started. Everyone took their seats and then cooed/awwed as the flower girl who is Catherine, Darrel's little sister walked down the aisle, clumsy while trying to toss flowers about.
After that are the groomsmen and the bridesmaids. First came Ruby and Matt, each wearing a suit/dress of their respective colors, then Weiss & Isaac, then Yang & Dalton, and lastly came Imperious and Coco.
And the moment Darrel was waiting for.
Silvers had her drones play the Star Wars main theme as Blake walked down the aisle with her dad.
Darrel's heart did all the somersaults when he saw her: her dress is pristine white that's both attractive and regal at the same time with accents of pale purple and green, mainly down her train. Her bouquet are roses with purple ribbons and toy dinosaurs mixed in with the roses. Her veil is a dark purple, a sheer contrast to the rest of her dress. To top things off, her long black hair flowed beautifully and was capped off with her classic bow.
'Must not faint' is being repeated through both Darrel and Blake's minds.
Blake was now standing shoulder to shoulder with Darrel and Ghira took his seat.
The music paused for dramatic effect.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to wed these together in holy matrimony. These two have spent two years of their lives together and now they are ready to tie the knot and live the rest of their lives together. Despite both being from completely different backgrounds, both history and heritage, these two look past all the negativity that has come their way and are ready to embrace a life the two shall live together."Ozpin began. The speech went on for 3 minutes.
"Do you have the rings?"Ozpin stated. With that, Ruby whistled and Zwei came out with a cute little red tie and on balanced on his back well, is a purple pillow with green embroidering and a green T-rex stitched in the center and on top...two rings. Both are gold with one having a purple gem and the other with a green gem.
Darrel slid on the ring with the purple gem on Blake's ring finger and she did the same for his ring.
"Do you, Darrel Maximus take this loving lady to be your wife in sickness and in health, till death do you both part?"Ozpin said. All Darrel said is, "I do."
"Do you, Blake Belladonna take this loving man to be your husband in sickness and in health till death do you both part?"The headmaster said. All Blake said is, "I do."
"If anyone thinks these two shouldn't be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace?"Oz said to the crowd. None dared opposed it...or else a certain shape-shifter would turn into a T-Rex and that person would be silenced.
Ozpin smiled with satisfaction. "Then by the power invested in me and Beacon Academy, I pronounce you both Man and Wife. You may kiss the bride."
Darrel lifted her veil and smiled at her beauty. She had just the right amount of purple eyeliner and blush. And for the cherry on top, he removed her bow, revealing her adorable cat ears.
Their hands interlocked with grace, their eyes closed and shed a tear each and they kissed with pure love in their hearts.
The crowd of friends and family clapped happily. Some people cried aka the majority of Darrel's family while some whistled with glee as the Husband and Wife turned to them with smiles oh happiness.
It was now evening. The setting sun gave the sky a set of beautiful colors and not a cloud in the sky was present. Currently, the guests and the couple were in the cafeteria of Beacon, enjoying the reception. The music playing is the Mos Eisley Cantina music. The food served is a mix of foods ranging from classy like beef stroganoff to more exotic like seared lobster to average like hot dogs.
Blake leaned on her husband happily, purring their hands interlocked.
Their families, mainly Darrel's was telling everyone at the table they were sitting at stories, some funny some memorable, etc.
His mom got finished telling the story of when Darrel accidentally got himself trapped in an elevator. Blake giggled. He blushed. "Not funny!"
To retort, Kali told the time an Archerfish had spit in Blake's face when she was little. Darrel snickered which made Blake step on his foot with her purple heels. He squeaked out. "Ok that's also not funny." Everyone cracked up.
Then came the time for Blake to toss the bouquet. All the ladies and even some of the guys gathered at the front of the cafeteria. Blake turned around and tossed it. To everyone's surprise and cuteness, Catherine caught it. They all cooed.
Next event was the wedding cake. Blake got two pieces. Once everyone had a slice of cake and Darrel had eaten his piece, Blake had smacked her second piece of cake onto his lips. "Oh ho you do that, you get this!"Darrel kissed her with his frosting smeared lips and both laughed.
After the wedded couple washed their faces clean of cake, they all went to the arena where they could not fight but dance.
Darrel & Blake danced to the Cantina music but it was the waltz version and they danced slowly, with her resting her head on against his shoulder, her eyes closed and a happy smile gracing her lips. His hands pet her long beautiful black locks.
When all was said and done, teams RWBY and DIMD sat at the airfield, each couple happy with Darrel & Blake being the most happy.
"Well you guys did it, you tied the knot."Ruby said, happily.
"Yeah."The married couple said in unison. They kissed
"So what are your plans, now?"Yang asked. "Well we have two years of Beacon left so I won't be getting my darling kitten pregnant anytime soon."Darrel said nonchalantly. Blake blushed as red as Ruby's cloak.
"N-not c-cool, D-Danny."Blake stuttered. He laughed a little before she pinched him. "Shutting up."
"So besides not having kids yet, what are you guys going to do for a home? I can hook you guys up with a place."Weiss inquired and suggested.
"While we appreciate the offer, Weiss its ok. For now, the two of are going to live at a home my parents got back in Kuo Kuana, my hometown in Menagerie."Blake explained.
Speaking of home, Kali and Ghira arrived. "You two ready to head home?"Kali asked, still having to dry a few tears.
The newlyweds nodded. Soon enough, the rest of their friends and family were waving them goodbye as the couple and Blake's parents waved back from their airship. As they flew off, on the back of the airship was a banner that says Just Married that's purple with the writing in green.
On the ship, the new married couple had fallen asleep, exhausted after the long day. Kali and Ghira watched as the two slept, leaning on each other hands interlocked.
It was late at night when the ship landed at Kuo Kuana and Ghira stirred awake. "We're here."He said softly. They got out and thankfully, the two were awake enough to head to their home they had purchased.
Said home is much like that of a cabin but with some Kuo Kuana flairs like with the coastal look. On the front lawn are two ornaments, a black waving cat and a green T-Rex. He carried her up the steps and through the door she opened for him.
"So darling, are you ready to start the next chapter of our lives?"Blake said with happiness.
"Of course and we will start it..together."
Well that's it, RWBY:Primeval is finally over! Nearly 3 years of writing and I hopefully ended it on a high note.
Now while this story has ended, another will soon start. Here's the hint for the next one:
Gotta catch them all.
