After the wedding ceremony, everyone gathered outdoors for the reception. Japanese lanterns decorated the open space as the smell of grilled beef and fish filled the air. Yuri played Hiroko Asakawa's "Moonlight Destiny" on the stereo for the bride and groom's first dance together. Dingo smiled with a combination of happiness at being with his wife and relief at remembering how to do the dance steps. Vinnie excused himself, claiming to have something in his eye. Jason claimed to have the same problem. At the end of the dance they embraced and shared a kiss as the sky lit up with a fireworks display.
After the fireworks, was dinner. After the appetizers were served, Robyn announced she was going to throw her bouquet. She turned her back as some unattached females prepared to make a leap for it. "No fair using your wings." Elisa warned Angela. Robyn tossed the bouquet. Angela very nearly caught it, but it bounced off her hand and landed among Staghart's antlers. He laid aside the champagne flute he had been sipping from and removed the flowers from his head. He took a bow as the guests applauded.
"C'mon, Yama, sit down!" said Dingo, pulling up a chair. "It's your duty as Best Man!"
Yama sat in the chair. "What do I have to do exactly?" he asked cautiously. He startled as Robyn suddenly sat in his lap.
"Just hold on to her while I get her garter off!" Dingo said, kneeling down and pulling up Robyn's skirt. Yama put up with the indignity pink faced. Fortunately, Dingo hadn't made too much of a show of it and was soon ready to throw the garter. He threw it a bit too far and it landed in Angela's champagne flute. She rung it out and wore it on her arm for the rest of the night.
The main course was served. "C'mon, Angela," urged Broadway, tempting her with a bit of sukiyaki between his chopsticks. "You should really try this! Matsusaka beef isn't something you get to try every day. It melts in your mouth. Like M&M's, only meatier."
"I feel weird about the way they make it." she said, picking up a bit of mahi mahi.
"What? The cows get massaged and fed beer." said Broadway. "Sounds like a good way to go! Better than dying with a sharp piece of metal in your mouth like that mahi mahi did."
"Fish don't have memories." said Angela. "How can you feel pain if you can't remember anything?"
"Koi fish have memories." said Katana. "That's why they come to the edge of the pond when they see people. They know they'll be fed."
A loud "bang" startled everyone. "No worries, mates." said Dingo, holding up a rather drippy champagne bottle. "Cork just came out. You can put your piece away, Maza." Dingo poured a glass for the detective as she reholstered her gun in the folds of her dress. "I'm not even sure why you brought it here."
Elisa took the glass. "Force of habit." she replied, taking a sip of the champagne.
"You're among friends, Elisa." Dingo said, pouring a glass for himself. "Can I call you Elisa?"
"If we're going to be friends," she said. "We should try being on a first name basis." She raised her glass. "So, here's to friendship."
"Drink to that." Dingo tapped glasses with her and they drank. "Gonna havta get used to wearin' this." Dingo held up his left hand, where a golden ring glinted in the moonlight. "Maybe sometime we can get rings for Fang and Riko." The other pair of newlyweds was nearby. "Oi, Fang! How are you enjoying married life so far?"
"I-I love it." said Fang. "I just freakin' love it!" He burst into tears.
"Oh, he so happy, he crying!" Riko said, hugging Fang.
"Let me pour you a glass, Avery." Dingo said to his mentor.
"Only half of one, thank you." Dingo half filled a champagne flute for him. "Will you be returning to Australia at any time?"
"Ah, maybe." Dingo sipped his own champagne. "Me and Robyn might stay here in Japan a while. We've talked 'bout goin' back to Sydney. Get a place in the suburbs, have a kid or two, fight super villains on the weekends. Tasmanian Tiger's still in hiding last I heard."
"In hiding." said Avery. "Not extinct. By the way, Natasha and Benjamin have cubs now."
"Heard. The first thylacines born in decades made world news. Hope the Sydney Zoo is keepin' 'em good and safe."
Yama stood and raised his champagne glass. "If I may have everyone's attention for a moment," he announced. "I have been told that one of my duties as best man is to give a toast to the bride and groom, usually by insulting the groom in some small way. However, I can find nothing insulting to say about Dingo-Kun, other than he has questionable taste in haircuts." The attendees laughed as Robyn ran a hand over her husband's mohawk. "Fortunately, Dingo-Kun makes up for it with his impeccable taste in choice of mate." Everyone gave an audible "aw...." at the heartfelt sentiment. "When I first met the bride and groom, it was at a very difficult time in my life. Due to an error of judgment on my part, I found myself more alone than I had ever been. I felt lost and....AAAH! KUSO!" Yama's eyes flashed white as he turned around. "Neko baka!" His tail lashed about, revealing that a calico had sunk her teeth into his flesh. Yama drew his sword. "Korosuzo!"
"Gomen nasai! Gomen nasai!" yelled Shinju, running to her cat's rescue. Neither noticed when a male tabby jumped up on the table and helped himself to the rest of Yama's mahi mahi. The guests laughed at the scene.
Sora stood and raised her glass. "I will make my toast to the bride and groom." she said as Yama chased after the tabby with sword drawn and Shinju chased after him, calico on her shoulder. "After nearly a year's absence, Yama returned to me and introduced me to the friends who had given him back his sense of self-worth. For that, I for one will always be grateful. Here's to Dingo and Robyn. May they have many happy years together." Glasses clinked together as all drank a toast to the bride and groom.
It was time to cut the cake. "You had better not smash this piece in my face." Robyn whispered as they joined hands to take a slice out of the tower of white frosted dessert.
"Do I look suicidal, love?" he replied. They did the obligatory hand feeding and posed for a few photo ops before serving the cake.
"This cake is fucking good!" said Izumi, causing anyone who knew English to stare at her in shock.
"Izumi!" snapped Kaede. "That is not proper English!"
"Did I say it wrong?" Izumi asked. "I'm sorry. This fucking cake is good, then."
"Where did you learn that word?" Kaede demanded.
"I asked Nash to teach me some more English and...."
"Nashville!" yelled Brooklyn, his eyes flashing white.
"Yikes!" said Nashville, hiding under a table.
"I'm afraid Izumi-Chan has been learning some naughty English words." Sora told Kaede. "I was helping Angela-San get dressed when Izumi said I should pad her waist up 'because her boobies are so big'."
Kaede chuckled. "That's children for you."
"I have a surprise for everyone." announced Dingo. "Today isn't just our wedding day. It's also Robyn's birthday. Robyn chose this day as our wedding day so I won't forget our anniversary." The guests laughed. "She just hit the big three two today." Robyn glared at him. "Don't be mad, sweetheart, I'm on the bad side of 35 myself. Don't fill up too much on wedding cake, folks, we've got another cake." Hiroshi rolled in a large chocolate cake with a lit candle shaped like the number 32. "Let's all sing 'Happy Birthday' to her!" Half the guests sang in English. The other half sang in Japanese. Robyn blew out the candle. "What'd you wish for?" Dingo asked her.
"Nothing." she said. "All my wishes came true."

No one knew of the group watching the party from the hills. Castaway observed his prey through binoculars. He observed his sister, dressed all in white, on the arm of a tuxedoed man with a mohawk. "Sweet Lord, she married a man with a mohawk!" Castaway sighed. Gargoyles were everywhere. Four females were dressed in the same type of kimono- no doubt her bridesmaids. Castaway seethed when he saw that one of the bridesmaids was none other than the daughter of the Demon. He thought they had killed her, but here she was, dancing merrily with some blue-green behemoth. She must have the same immortality her mother had.What was next? A tea party with the Demon herself?
"You OK, sweetie?" Beatrice asked, stroking his arm. He had been holding the binoculars so tightly it seemed they would break in his hands.
"The daughter of the Demon that killed our father is at my sister's wedding!"
"Can I see?" Castaway let Beatrice borrow the binoculars. "Oh, Jonny, they're horrible! And there's so many of them!"
"We are few against many, but we will still prevail." said Castaway. "I will send Quoyesser and Ancelet down first to create a diversion. The rest of the Quarrymen will attack on my mark."
"And I will be right by your side, Jonny." she said, embracing him. She drew her Barretta from her hip holster. "And this by my side. Thanks again for bribing those customs officials for me, baby." She kissed him.
Castaway smiled. "Money is the international language, darling."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" was playing on the stereo as the guests danced. Lexington and Staghart were paired up. Staghart had pinned one of the roses from the bouquet to a lapel of his kimono. "So, how's the video coming?" Lex asked.
"Fairly well." said Staghart. "I'll have the editing done tommorrow night. Do you know I have documented evidence that Yama knows how to smile?"
Lex chuckled. He looked over at Yama who was paired up with Sora. "He usually smiles when he's around Sora."
Staghart smiled and stroked Lex's scalp. "I love you. You know that, right?"
Lex reached up to touch Staghart's face. Before he could say anything, a loud buzzing noise of motorcycles ripped through the air.
Guests screamed as two hooded figures on motorcycles crashed through their party. Staghart tackled Lexington to the ground as the larger of the two lobbed a flaming bottle at them. He knew a Molotov cocktail when he saw one. It exploded in a ball of raging fire only a few feet from them. Broadway roared, eyes glowing as he ran at the rider in a flying tackle, knocking him off the cycle, causing the cycle to careen out of control. "I got this one!" Vinnie yelled, running after it. He just managed to grab on to the handlebars, slung himself over the seat and rode it safely away from the wedding guests.
Hiroshi managed to gather his two children in the confusion and shoved them into Kaede's arms. "Take them to my home!" he said. "And bring me my service revolver!"
The elder people and gargoyles were desperately trying to round up frightened children and take them to safety while others tried to control the fire. "Come along, little one." Kaede said, trying to herd Nashville away, carrying a weeping Yoshimi over her shoulder.
Nashville saw the smaller of the two riders coming after Katana, who had her sword drawn. The rider had a sparking hammer. "MOOOOOM!!!" Nashville screamed as he saw sparks fly.
"Little one...." Kaede grabbed at his shoulder, but Nashville broke free, running after the rider who was about to bring the hammer down on Katana a second time.
"GET AWAY FROM MY MOM!" screamed Nashville, latching his talons into the attacker's back, ripping the hood off her head as he did to reveal short red hair. Felicity screamed and flailed as she tried to shake the small attacker off her.
Felicity's motorcycle was now spinning out of control. Vinnie made a tackle for it, but was knocked over to the ground. The motorcycle was now laying uselessly on its side, spinning its wheels as the motor idled. Vinnie reached over and shut it off.
Felicity jumped back on her feet, aching from several tears in her flesh from talon scratches. She raised her hammer to strike the gargoyle that attacked her only to be blocked by a broadsword wielded by a red beaked gargoyle with an eye patch. "Don't. Touch. My. Son." he growled dangerously. as his eyes glowed white. Sparks sprayed as the gargoyle attempted to manuever the hammer out of Felicity's hands. He very nearly succeeded, but was knocked down from behind by a hammer wielded by a new hooded man. "Good job, Miss Ancelet." he said as more hooded figures invaded the party. "I'll take it from here."
Katana had recovered from the blow just in time to see the hooded figure about to bring his hammer down on her mate. She executed a sweep kick with her tail and straddled the man. "Korosuzo!" she screamed, holding her sword tip to the prone man's throat.
"Katana, let go of him!" yelled Robyn. Katana would obey her host. Still, she held him at sword point, her eyes glowing red. Robyn stared at the hooded man, heartbroken as her wedding broke into chaos around her. She had recognized his voice. "Jonny, how could you?"
"Robyn, you have to learn...."
"BASTARD!" Robyn screamed, throwing a punch.
A shot zipped past Robyn. "That was a warning shot!" said a hooded woman armed with a Barretta. "Next one's aimed at your fucking head!"
Shinju screamed as she went down. "SHINJU!" Yuri screamed, running to her side. Yuri took her mate into her arms, trying to staunch the bleeding from a head wound. "Shinju! Shinju!" she sobbed. "Nantoka naru-yo! Shinju!"
Shinju groaned and saw her wig laying on the ground. She struggled from Yuri's arms and picked it up, dusting it off only to find the hairs severed beyond repair, a bullet hole through the hairnet. Her eyes glowed red as she got to her feet. "WATAKUSHINO II KATSURA!" she screamed, charging at the woman before Yuri could stop her.
"Don't kill her now, Bea." said Jonny, forgetting his own rule about anonymity.
"She's a gargoyle lover and she hurt you!" yelled the hooded woman. "She doesn't deserve to live!"
"She does if I say so!" Jonny snapped.
Beatrice started to lower her gun, just to be tackled by an angry female gargoyle with blood streaked bobbed hair. "KUSO-ONNA!" she screamed as she tackled her, knocking the gun out of her hand. Beatrice was knocked off balance, but managed to palm strike the gargoyle in the jaw.
"KUTABARE!" shouted Yuri, karate chopping Beatrice in the kidney.
Angela was standing off against a hooded man threatening her with a sparking hammer. The padding underneath her kimono had absorbed most of the blows she had taken, but now she was angry and looking for an opening to attack him. "You remind me of a girl I used to know back in 'Nam." he leered. "Knew for all of three minutes before I put a bayonet between her ribs!"
"Three minutes is all it takes you?" snarled Angela.
Spurred by the insult to his manhood, he swung the hammer to one hand and made a grab for her. "Show you what I can do in three minutes, bitch!"
"FUCKING TRY IT!" she responded, raking her claws across his hooded face. The cloth easily gave way.
Hyena found Lex trying to smother a fire with his kimono soaked in punch. "Remember me, asshole?" Hyena asked, brandishing her claws.
"Been trying to forget." Lex smashed a champagne bottle against a table, giving himself a weapon. "Let's finish this, Hyena!"
Hyena charged at him, only to be thrown ten feet as Staghart rammed into her. Staghart barely had time to stand up after leaning down to charge when he screamed from a cutting pain in his left bicep. Lex jumped on Jackal who had just attacked his lover and struck him with the champagne bottle. If Jackal hadn't already had a bionic eye, he would've been blinded, but the glass still embedded sharply in his flesh. As he tried to shake him off, Staghart went for a kick to the gut, only to feel a shriek of protest streak through his leg. "What are you?" demanded Staghart. "The Tin Man?"
"You'd know all about that, wouldn't you, Dorothy?" Jackal said as a spinning saw blade drew from his arm. Lex grappled with the arm and sunk his teeth into a bare bit of organic flesh on Jackal's neck making him shriek and fall to the ground.
"Let go of my brother, you dirty fag!" demanded Hyena.
"Who you calling 'dirty'?" yelled Lex. He could taste blood in his mouth, but was past caring.
Xanatos shook his head and sipped champagne as he watched the melee. "It's like we just can't hold a wedding without a fight breaking out." he commented.
"Should we help?" asked Fox.
"Gargoyles have a way of fighting their own battles, my dear."
Hyena pounced on Lex. "You kill my brother! I kill you!" Staghart pulled her off him. She kicked him in the stomach hard enough to send him flying into the wedding cake. Flying particles of the cake smacked into Fox, who had been mentally debating whether or not to leap into the fray.
Fox gasped in horror at her stained gown. "THAT WAS A VERA WANG, BITCH!" She administered a flying kick to Hyena's face. She immediately recovered.
"Oh, it's Little Miss I'm-Too-Good-To-Help-You-Break-Outta-Jail!" sneered Hyena.
"What was the body count for the jail break this time, Hyena?" asked Fox.
"Well, we can't all marry millionaires!" mocked Hyena. Fox threw herself at Hyena.
Lex was at Staghart's side. "Amp! Amp!" He shook him. "Please! Get up!"
Staghart moaned and blinked as he came to. "Ugh...Lex? You got blood on your fangs. Am I in an Anne Rice novel?"
"What? No." Lex tried to get Staghart back on his feet. "C'mon, we gotta get you outta here."
"I-I'm alright." Staghart panted as he tried to stand up. "I can go another round. I can...no I can't." He fell forward on his face. Lex started to panic. He just wasn't strong enough to lift Staghart by himself.
"C'mon, I'll help ya." Vinnie was already kneeling beside the fallen gargoyle. Lex took one side, Vinnie took the other. It was awkwardly lopsided, but they both managed to pull an unconscious Staghart out of harm's way. "You take care-a yer boyfriend." said Vinnie. "There's something I gotta do!"
