Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: The Wedding Celebration

(Meanwhile, Gordon, Betty Jean, Lucky Girl, Matter Girl, Huntress and Max gasped as they saw the Mann's bodyguard looming over them and he brought his arm, morphed into a spiked mace down on them, prompting them to avoid the blow.)

(Lucky Girl then glared and brought her glowing hands outwards.)

Lucky Girl: "Sinew Invisibus!"

(Two large boulders grew upwards from the ground and she tossed them at the bodyguard, causing them to blow his arms off.)

(But due to his inconsistent form, he just grew them back like it was nothing and slithered down to the group as Matter Girl glared.)

Matter Girl: "Okay."

(she said as she absorbed the stone and morphed her arms into hammers.)

Matter Girl: "Now I'm mad!"

(Huntress took out her spear and shouted out as she stabbed outwards while Matter Girl charged in and bashed him with her hammer arms and grunted with each blow as he slithered away to avoid it.)

Betty Jean: "What do we do?"

(Betty Jean asked.)

Betty Jean: "We're defenseless."

Max: "Not quite."

(Max said.)

Max: "You promised to leave the Plumber gear at home. I didn't."

(He handed his brother and sister-in-law two cylinders which once they took, morphed into two blasters.)

Gordon: "Just like the good old days, eh, bro?"

(Gordon asked.)

(Lucky Girl dodged the rapid movements of the bodyguard and shouted out as Matter Girl collided her large fist with his head before he glared and stretched his arms out and grabbed Huntress.)

(Huntress glared at him and spat into his face, which prompted no reaction.)

(However, a blue blast hit him in the face, causing him to drop Matter Girl.)

(Lucky Girl grabbed the team's energy cannon and tossed it to Matter Girl.)

(The bodyguard glared as he reformed the hole the blast left in his head and he stretched out his arms and gave out a punch.)

(Ben and Jen flew backwards into the back of the trees in the woods as Jen formed her arms into maces and shouted out as she dodged Mr. Mann's attacks before she leaped upwards and slammed him in the face with both of her maces.)

Jen: "Aren't you two a little old to be playing with mud?"

(she asked as she melted herself on the ground and reformed herself behind Mrs. Mann.)

(She shouted out in anger and swatted her into a tree, where she fell back, dazed.)

(She then stretched her arm out to Jen's brother and then stuck him to the tree as well as she morphed her arm into a spiked mace and swatted him down.)

(Max, Gordon, Betty Jean, and Matter Girl blasted away at the bodyguard that loomed over them, with their blasts barely phasing him at all.)

(Huntress and Lucky Girl blasted out with arrows and spells to him as they shouted out a war cry and the camera loomed over to Joel comforting Camille.)

Camille: "This is my special day."

(Camille sobbed.)

Camille: "And nobody is going to ruin it! Especially not my family!"

(She then morphed her body into her true Lenopan form and rushed off to help the others.)

Joel: "She is going to be my wife!"

(Joel smiled.)

(The team avoided the spiked muddy tendrils from the bodyguard and blasted away at him with everything they had to slow him down.)

(Camille then suddenly rushed in, morphed her arm into a long spiked hammer and swatted the bodyguard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground in a daze as she morphed her hand back.)

Gordon: "We're sorry we've been so tough on you, Camille."

(Gordon said.)

Betty Jean: "Can you ever forgive us?"

(Betty Jean asked.)

Camille: "Of course."

(Camille smiled.)

Camille: "That's what family is for... Look out!"

(She pushed them away as the bodyguard sent a muddy swipe to her which she dodged as Matter Girl and Lucky Girl walked up and glared.)

Matter Girl: "Okay, screw this. This has gone on long enough."

(Matter Girl said as she charged up her cannon and Lucky Girl lit her hands on fire.)

(Max then came in and pulled on the cylinder of his blaster, which beeped blue.)

(He then tossed it to Huntress, who hooked it into one of her arrows and she took a careful aim on one knee as she aimed her bow carefully.)

Huntress: "Come on."

(she said as she looked from Camille to the bodyguard, who morphed into his true form.)

the bodyguard: "Get out of the way, girl!"

(The bodyguard glared and charged towards Huntress, who then closed her eyes, drew in a sharp breath and let the arrow fly forward, sticking into the gelatinous mass of an alien.)

(He grinned as he slammed her backwards, landing against the gazebo in a daze.)

(She grinned back at him as he looked down and saw the beeping blaster in him and he frowned before the blaster exploded, sending him flying upwards and Lucky Girl and Matter Girl opened fire on him as he fell down before going splat on the floor and dissolving into a puddle of sentient mud as he glared up at Matter Girl, who hoisted the cannon over her shoulder.)

the bodyguard: "You... are definitely your father's daughter."

(he said before he fell into unconsciousness.)

Matter Girl: "What did he mean by that?"

(Matter Girl asked herself.)

Huntress: "Where's Ben and Jen?"

(Huntress asked.)

Camille: "And my parents?"

(Camille asked.)

(Said twins had it pretty rough as Mrs. Mann held them against a tree as Jen dissolved herself into mud, wrapped herself around the mad alien woman's neck and slammed her head against the tree while Ben ran in and morphed his arms into hammers, which he used to slam her backwards.)

(She growled at them.)

Mrs. Mann: "Irritating pests! You must be from the groom's side of the family!"

Ben: "Guilty as charged."

(Ben said, crossing his arms.)

(The ground beneath the twins started to shake and rumble as they gulped and backflipped away as Mr. Mann came up from the ground by them as the Omnitrixes timed out, leaving them in their Omni Suits.)

Mr. Mann: "We'll teach you to muck up our family business!"

(Mr. Mann said before he looked at his wife and they nodded.)

(The two Lenopans then jointed each other and started to grow and expand as the mass grew and the couple's heads grew from the top.)

Omni-Pink: "This is the messiest battle we've ever been in."

(Omni-Pink said.)

Mrs. Mann: "You've been bad little aliens!"

(Mrs. Mann said as she shot an arm out and grabbed the Omni Twins.)

Mrs. Mann: "We're putting you two down for a nap! A dirt nap!"

(The twins screamed as they were sucked into the mass.)

(Omni-Pink stopped screaming before she focused and managed to eek out two important words.)

Omni-Pink: "Meena... Goh."

(she whispered before she was sucked in.)

(The Manns smiled to each other and laughed before they suddenly felt an intense heat coming from their center.)

(They looked down to see a boiling orange mass coming from them and rock started to encase the evil aliens.)

(They screamed in agony before they were instantly turned to stone from the intense heat.)

(The Omni Twins burst out of the chest cavity with their intense strength as they stumbled out and removed their helmets for a breath of fresh air.)

(The rest of the group as well as Joel, Camille, Gordon and Betty Jean looked up at the sight of the petrified parents as well as Ben and Jen as they held their helmets under their arms.)

Joel: "Ben? Jen?"

(Joel asked as he and his parents looked stunned as the twins gulped and then smiled.)

Jen: "...Surprise!"

(Jen smiled as Ben nervously nodded.)

(Camille looked up and smiled at her parents.)

Camille: "Little big for the wedding cake. But it's the thought that counts."

(After cleaning up after the accident, the wedding had continued on as planned with only the team present for the ceremony.)

the priest: "...I now pronounce you man and wife."

(the priest said.)

the priest: "You may now kiss the bride."

(Joel then dipped his new wife and gave her a kiss as the twins smiled.)

Ben: "Yep. Best wedding ever."

(Ben said.)

Jen: "You said it."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Now come on. We've got a reception to attend."

Allison: "Right, you still have to perform your set."

(Allison said as they all walked towards the chapel.)

(The crowd had gathered in the banquet hall as Joel smashed a piece of cake into his wife's face before she smashed his into the cake.)

(Ben and Lucy danced while Gwen danced with her sister and the two smiled and had a good time.)

Lucy: "Wow, Ben."

(Lucy smiled.)

Lucy: "You're pretty good at this."

Ben: "I learned from the best."

(Ben said as he saw his sister clear her throat and smile as she ushered him onto the stage.)

Ben: "Hold that thought."

(He rushed onto the stage and picked up a guitar as Jen smiled and cleared her throat, catching the attention of the crowd.)

Jen: "This one is for the happy couple Joel and Camille."

(Jen said as she turned to the band and nodded.)

(The sound of a banjo started as long as the sounds of a violin and piano also sounded in the area as Ben started his guitar along with his sister as she started to sing.)

Jen: "There's a place I've been looking for That took me in and out of buildings behind window, walls and doors And I thought I found it Couple times, even settled down And I'd hang around just long enough to find my way back out I know now The place that I was trying to reach Was you, right here in front of me."

(The drummer then slammed down on his drum set while Ben and Jen jammed off on their guitars, much to the shock of Gwen, Becky and Allison as he knocked the guitar out of the park while singing backup for his sister at the same time.)

Jen: "And I wouldn't change a thing I'd walk right back through the rain Back to every broken heart on the day that it was breakin' And I'd relive all the years And be thankful for the tears I've cried with every stumbled step That led to you and got me Here Right here Oh, baby,"

(Everyone jammed out and danced to the music as Jen smiled to Joel and Camille with a wink as she continued.)

Jen: "It's amazing What I let my heart go through To get me where it got me in this moment here with you And it passed me by God knows how many times I was so caught up in holding what I never thought I'd find I know now There's a million roads I had to take To get me in your arms this way And I wouldn't change a thing I'd walk right back through the rain Back to every broken heart on the day that it was breakin' And I'd relive all the years And be thankful for the tears

I've cried with every stumbled step That led to you and got me Here In a love I never thought I'd get to get to Here And if that's the road God made me take to be with you."

(The music suddenly slowed down a bit, leaving just the piano and Jen's sweet vocals.)

Jen: "Then I wouldn't change a thing

I'd walk right back through the rain

Back to every broken heart on the day that it was breakin'"

(The music then picked up again as the band finished up their set.)

Jen: "And I'd relive all the years And be thankful for the tears I've cried with every stumbled step That led to you and got me Heeeeeeere! (Right here) Right here! Yeah, yeah, yeah! And I'd relive all the years And be thankful for the tears! I've cried with every stumbled step That led to you and got me Here Right here Oh baby Ooooh Oh, got me Here..."

(The song ended as the crowd of wedding guests all erupted into applause for Ben and Jen as they held their guitars and they heard whistles from their cousins and friends as Ben and Jen took a bow to them as Joel kissed Camille one last time.)
