//------------------------------// // Chapter 43: I Now Pronounce You, Plumber and Alien // Story: Equestrian Omni-hero // by Blaze-saber //------------------------------// Helix was letting out grunts as his face was all scrunched up. "Don't th-think…I c-can take th-this…much l-longer…!" He cried out as Dust and Rarity were behind him. "Just hold on, darling." Rarity told him as Helix raised his hooves. "We're almost there." "I c-can't…breathe!" Helix exclaimed. "G-Guys…help me!" "Girls, keep them back till we're done!" Dust ordered as the girls were keeping the boys back from Helix. "You can't do this to him!" Gallus shouted as Silverstream pushed him back. "Let him go, you monsters!" Manny called out as it took Lolaxx, Yona, and Zs'spoocy to keep him back. "He's just a boy!" Sandbar pleaded as Ocellus and Smolder kept him back while Spike brought over a trade to Rarity and Dust. “Don’t give up on us now, Darling!” Rarity called as she levitated some scissors and snipped something on Helix. “Ugh… gotta get… out of here. Going hero!” Helix cried as he was about to activate the Omnitrix, but Dust held his hooves, which revealed that Helix is in a suit with his mane neatly done. “No, you’re not mister.” Dust said firmly. “Save the drama, son. Please.” “We just need to make sure this tux fits you, darling.” Rarity said as Helix groaned and started gasping slightly. “Uh, better loosen that bow tie, you two.” Flash advised. “Helix needs all the oxygen he can get.” He said in amusement as Dust loosened Helix’s tie, which he sighed in relief that he can breathe normally. “The only thing worse than going to a wedding is being in a wedding.” Helix said while looking at himself. “Why couldn’t they find someone else to be the ring bearer?” He questioned. “It’s only for one weekend, son. You’ll live.” Delta said to them as the mobile base is parked up in a mason with a huge pond and the wedding area in the back. "And besides, this is my little brother's wedding." Dust reminded him. "We gotta be there for our family, especially for an occasion such as this." “We’re glad we’re here.” Misty said as she and the young girl group looked at the pamphlet. “I’ve never been a flower filly before.” “This is actually the first wedding for us.” Helen said while gesturing to herself and the three alien girls. “Yeah. We have never seen an Equine wedding before.” Zs’spoocy said. “Yeah, I bet it’s interesting.” Lolaxx added. “Let’s hope this won’t be like the Canterlot Wedding my brother had with Cadance.” Twilight said with a concerned look before giving a stern look at her friends. “Especially since my friends didn’t believe me about her being a fake.” She added, which made the Mane Six flinch and gave sheepish and apologetic looks. “Say what?” Manny asked with a shocked look. “It’s a long story and something we wish to forget.” Spike said while rubbing his head. "One Twilight is never going to let go." Rainbow complained with an eye roll. “Well, you six had it coming since Twilight knew Cadance better than any of you. And you didn’t even listen to her since she has known her since she was a filly.” Flash pointed out with a brow. "We get it!" Rainbow groaned. “I’m sure it won’t happen again.” Applejack assured them as Delta walked up to his son. “This tuxedo is a family heirloom.” Delta said to Helix with a smile. “It was your grandfather when he was your age. Then I wore it. And now you, son.” “Oh, lucky me.” Helix said tiredly as Delta ruffled his mane slightly. “Just be careful with it, please.” Delta said as Helix looked at his reflection before Misty came in with a camera. “Smile and say ‘Mega dweeb’.” Misty taunted as she took a picture of Helix. “NOOO!!!” Helix screamed as the others all laughed at his reaction. After Helix gets out of his suit, they are looking around the wedding area. “Well, I have to admit, for a bored place, it is a beautiful sight.” Helix said to them. “It is a dazzling place to have a wedding.” Rarity said with a smile. “It’s a great spot. Not like the Canterlot wedding, but great.” Twilight noted. “Sister Dust.” A stallion’s voice spoke up as the group turned and saw a light red unicorn stallion with a brown mane and a dark purple unicorn mare with a red mane walking up to them. “Jolt Sparks. My brother.” Dust said with a smile. “And it's great to see you again, Glim Mud.” She said to the mare. “It’s great to see you too, Space Dust.” Glim said with a smile. “It has been a long time.” “It sure has.” Dust said with a smile as Jolt frowned. “Congratulations.” “We’re so glad you’re here, sis. But can you do your brother a solid and talk some sense into our parents?" Jolt asked her desperately. “Why? What’s the problem?” Dust asked in confusion. “Space Dust.” A stallion’s voice called as the group turned and saw the elder unicorn mare and stallion coming up. “Mom, Dad.” Dust said with a smile as she shared a hug with her parents.  “It’s good to see you again, sweetie.” The elder unicorn mare said fondly. “And it’s also great to see you again too, Ranger Delta.” The elder unicorn stallion said as they broke the hug. "Hey Blast Surge, and of course, Stealth Star." Delta mentioned with a smile. "Sweetie, do you think you can talk some sense into your brother?” Blast asked Dust. “This whole wedding is just a terrible mistake." “This whole wedding is a terrible mistake?” Dust asked in confusion, not sure what was going on. “See, listen to your big sister, son.” Blast said to Jolt as the group gave confused expressions. “Uh, what is going on?” Fluttershy asked nervously. "Must be some family drama happening, or something worse." Twilight whispered with a concerned tone. “Now, Blast, the kids are grown ups.” Another stallion said as an elder light unicorn stallion with his dark purple unicorn mare and a butler behind them walked up. “Who are we to get in the way?” He asked with a smile. “These are my parents. Slug Strike and Muck Slider." Glim introduced her parents. “I’m sorry we had to meet under such awkward circumstances.” Muck said with a dull look. “So are we.” Both Blast and Stealth said with the same tone as the two parents walked off. “You might be right with the family drama, Twilight.” Flash whispered to his marefriend with a weird look. "Huh, maybe this wedding won't be so boring after all." Helix mentioned with a small smile before Glim walked off to her parents. Jolt then turned to his sister with a concerned look. “Dust, I don't know what to do…" He groaned. “This has all been a nightmare, and not just with the families. The wedding dress got lost, the photographer's camera got smashed, all the flowers up and died all of the sudden. Everything's gone wrong." “Easy, little brother.” Dust said as she placed a hoof on his shoulder. “Everything will work out. And if you need help, I have some ponies who had experience with a wedding before.” She said as she gestured to the Mane Six. “It’s true.” Pinkie said with a smile. “We’ve done a wedding before. Even though it was an imposter and a changeling invasion, but we still have experience.” She said with a cheerful smile. “I’ll handle making a new dress for your soon to be bride!” Rarity quickly said with her hoof raised. "And I'm sure I can help with the flowers by asking some of the animals around." Fluttershy mentioned with a smile. "And if y'all need help with the banquet, I'm the pony to turn to." Applejack bragged with a tip of her hat. "And I can keep any clouds in the sky away in case it rains.” Rainbow told him. "And I'll make sure everything is perfectly organized before the wedding." Twilight added with a smile. Jolt gave a smile at the Mane Six’s offer. “Thank you.” He said in relief. “Excuse me for interrupting, but I'm Misty, the flower filly, and I have a few questions." She told Jolt before listing out her questions. "Does the flower filly dress match with the other Bridesmaids? Who designed the dresses? What color are the corsages?" "Oh uh, about that Misty, but I guess you didn't hear.” Jolt interrupted her before she could continue. "Glim's little cousin, Lucky Slip, was able to make it after all. But thank you for standing in for us.” He said with a smile as Misty looked shocked before she frowned and walked off in disappointment. “Uh, just to be sure, did you happen to find another ring bearer too, uncle?” Helix asked Jolt. “Uh, no, nothing changes for you, Helix.” Jolt answered him. “Except for who you’ll dance with in the reception.” “Dance!?” Helix asked in shock. “I don’t know how to dance!” He cried out in panic. “I guess you’d better learn, then.” Jolt told him with a joking smirk. “You don't want to look like a big mega dweeb out there in front of everyone.” He said with a wink as he walked off as Helix gulped nervously. Xylene gave a smirk. “Now we know where they get the ‘dweeb’ name from.” She said with a chuckle. “It’s genetic.” Dust said with giggles. “Dance?” Venus asked as he looked at Hope, which he gave a small smile before he got nervous. “Oh, boy.” He muttered. Later that night as Rarity was designing a new wedding dress for the bride and Twilight was working out a list for the wedding, Spike noticed that it was quiet inside the mobile base. “It’s a little too quiet.” He noted before he realized who wasn't present. “Where’s Helix and the kids?" "I think they said something about going to take a dip in the lake around back, you know, to find something fun to do." Dust replied as she was using a tiny feather duster to clean the tux for Helix. "As long as they don't get into too much trouble." Twilight stated. A bit later, the young group are walking down with their swimwear and towels as they see a stallion unloading a wagon full of sweets, which caught Helix’s eyes. He was about to grab a piece, but Attea stopped him. “Don’t even think about it, Helix.” She told him. "Oh come on, you mean you're going to pass up just having just a small piece?" Helix asked. “I'm pretty sure that if we do something like that, we’ll be in trouble." Helen mentioned. "Then you might want to stop Smolder from stuffing her face with the cake." Helix pointed out as Smolder was holding a piece of cake in her claw while some frosting was smothered on her cheeks. “Smolder!” They all yelled out, which made Smolder flinch as she turned to them with a sheepish look. “Seriously?” Misty questioned with a brow. “I expected this from Helix, but you?” "What?! It's one piece and I am not waiting to hear speeches at the reception just to dig in.” Smolder replied before putting the whole piece of cake in her mouth. “Let’s just go before the buffet pony finds us and kicks us out.” Ocellus muttered before they turned to see one of them walking up to the wagon. “Too late…" "Uh, it's okay sir.” Helix quickly spoke up. “This dragon here is just the official sweet food taster just to make sure it's not too sweet for the wedding. Right guys?" The young group caught on to Helix’s plans as they all chatted in agreement with nervous smiles. “Yeah, and it's all good.” Smolder said with a sheepish smile as she swallowed the cake she was eating. “Keep up the great work.” She said as they all walked off quickly to the lake. The stallion shrugged as he continued to unload the wagon, but completely unaware of something moving towards him. It looked like mud before it suddenly rose up and quickly grabbed the stallion and pulled him into the woods as he yelled for help.  Then after a few moments of silent, he walked out of the woods, but his eyes were glowing purple. “Now to deliver a wedding present they’ll never forget.” He said with a growl as he walked up to the wagon while behind him was the real stallion, unconscious as he groaned. The young group walked up to the lake, but when they saw the rules in the sign, they frowned. “No swimming? Really?” Silverstream asked in shock. “Guess they wanted the water to look great.” Helen said with a shrug. “Now what are we supposed to do for fun?” Helix questioned in wonder. Then they heard hard wheels as Manny turned. “Uh, guys…” He called as they all turned and saw the wagon from earlier driving up to the wedding area. When Helix saw this however, he grinned before he looked at Misty. "Mind giving me a little boost before the wedding crashers?" “Sure thing.” Misty said as she and Helix activated their Omnitrixes and slammed their cores down. Helix transformed into Cannonbolt while Misty transformed into Yetishock. Cannonbolt quickly rolled up and revved up into a ball as Yetishock rubbed her hands to get a bit of a static charge before giving Cannonbolt a push with a bit of an electric charge. Cannobolt charged up and charged at the wagon, which exploded as Cannonbolt danced in the dust. “Oh yeah! Sometimes it's scary being this awesome!" He bragged. “Uh, Helix…” Yona said slowly as they turned and saw the wedding seats on fire. “Wedding seats caught flames.” "Oh, our bad…" Cannonbolt muttered before he crawled up into a ball and jumped on one of the chairs to try put out the flames. The others quickly rushed over to help him out as Manny was fanning his arms to try and put out the flames while those with wings used them to fan out the fire. “Guys! This isn’t working!” Ocellus called out. “We need water! Lots of water!" Silverstream exclaimed before they suddenly remembered they were next to a lake. They then looked at Cannonbolt with a smirk as he smiled back before he jumped high into the sky. "Cannonbolt BALL!!" Cannobolt called as he fell into the lake and created a big splash that not only soaked the others, but also put out the flames of the chairs. “Not only did we put out the fire, but we got wet after all.” Lolaxx said as she rubbed her head to get some water on her. But the moment Cannonbolt emerged from the lake and was about to climb out, weapons were heard being aimed before they turned to see plumber weapons aimed at them. "Boy, the light guards around here are really strict about no swimming." Manny muttered before they realized that the ones holding the weapons are both Blaster and Stealth. “A Tetraman, Kineceleran, an Incursion, a Chimera Sui Generis, Ectonurite,  Gimlinopithecus, and an Arburian Pelarot!” Blast called out. "And by the looks of it, they're alien teen punk wedding crashers." Stealth assumed. "Who exactly sent all of you?" "Whoa, wait a minute, no one sent us!" Helen answered as she and the other aliens had their arms up. "I never even wanted to come here in the first place!" Cannonbolt quickly mentioned. “What is going on?!” Jolt called as he, Glim, and the others rushed up to them. “These alien teens were trying to ruin the wedding!” Blast stated. “We were trying to save the wedding!” Manny called with his arms raised. "Yeah, that wagon was out of control and when we stopped it, we accidentally started a fire!" Attea told them. "Not helping." Lolaxx whispered harshly to her. “Uh, they seemed like they’re telling the truth.” Delta spoke up. “Still, we shouldn’t take any chances.” Stealth said as she and Blast charged up their blasters. “You know aliens. Can’t trust any of them.” Hope saw this as she lit up her hoof. “Camouphlat vaporis.” She whispered as a mist surrounded the group, blinding them. “They’re getting away! Blast them!” Blast called as he and Stealth started shooting around all wildly before Jolt stepped in and lowered his father’s weapon. “Put those things away! This is a wedding, not a shooting range!” Jolt said firmly as his parents stopped firing. “But those aliens are still out there.” Blast said to him. “It doesn’t matter.” Jolt said firmly. “We want you to promise: no more weapons for the rest of the weekend.” Meanwhile, Cannonbolt and the other aliens emerged from the bushes across the lake where they hid when the mist cleared. They then noticed some sort of shadowy figure by the gates and knew it was the culprit who tried to literally crash the wedding. They quickly made it over to the gates only to find no one around. "Yo, where'd that guy go?" Manny asked as something was coming up from behind them. Yetishock stepped forward before she cringed when she stepped into something slimy. "Gross, I stepped in some sort of mud." She gagged before she quickly noticed that this mud was in some sort of shade of purple. “Well, let’s take it out before…” Helen tried to say, but the mud creature smacked them away just at the two Omnitrixes timed out as they hit the bushes as the mud creature went down the drain as the others got up. “That happens.” She groaned while rubbing her head. “I’m starting to hate weddings again.” Helix groaned while rubbing his head. “You’re not the only one.” Zs’spoocy said as the others nodded in agreement. Later they came back to the mobile base as Twilight levitated a few ice packs for them. "I guess I probably should have mentioned that my side of the family has always been Plumbers." Dust mentioned sheepishly. "And the bride and her family are aliens." "Say what now?" Spike quickly asked in surprise. "But they don't look like aliens." "That's because they're in disguise for the wedding." Delta explained. "Actually, they're the toughest, nastiest, meanest beings in the universe. We call them Sludge Puppies. Both them and the Plumbers have been going at it for generations." "But a few years ago, just after you were born Helix, my brother and one of their children, Glim, met and became close." Dust added. "It was then that a truce was forged from that single relationship, but my parents are still on edge because of her. But I've gotten to know her and she's quite all right. This is the first ever marriage between a mud alien and an equine." "And if those two got married, it could put an end to decades of two enemies for good." Twilight said with realization. "And from what you kids told us, it seems like someone doesn't want that to happen." “Great, a second changeling wedding incident we have to deal with.” Rainbow said in annoyance. “Can’t we just have a normal wedding without a changeling incident?” Applejack asked before her eyes widened at what she said as she turned to Ocellus with a sheepish look. “No offense, Ocellus.” “None taken. Even I would’ve taken that bet.” Ocellus said with a shrug. "Whoever is trying to ruin the wedding, we have to keep our guard up." Dust mentioned. "I won't have my brother's and my future sister-in-law's wedding to go down in flames." “We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.” Helix said with determination. “Because something tells me that the trouble has only just begun.” In the dining hall, the adult ponies were sitting together having dinner while Glim and her family raised their drinks, but Blast and Stealth gave them looks as Blast made a ‘I got my eye on you’ gesture at them. “Wow, tough crowd.” Pinkie commented. “Your family really doesn’t like them, huh?” Flash asked his aunt with a brow. “Trust me, they’ve been at war for so long, it’s tough to let go of old wounds.” Dust said with a tired sigh. With the kids, they were sitting at a separate table with a unicorn mare with light yellow fur and a yellow mane in front of them, which happens to be Lucky. “I’m so excited about being the flower filly! Do you know we get to dance in front of everypony?” She asked Helix. “Isn’t that great?” “Yeah, great.” Helix muttered as Lucky skipped away with laughs as Helix flopped to the table while clutching his head. “I am so gonna get laughed at.” He muttered. "Well maybe I can help, after all I did take cotillion for five years. Misty mentioned as they looked at her with confusion. “Cotillion, it means dance." “Misty, we’re not dance experts. We don’t know their names.” Gallus stated with a brow. “Sure. But the thing is, I could teach you how to dance, cous.” Misty said to Helix. “Yeah… I’ll think about it.” Helix said while giving a thoughtful look at her suggestion. Venus was then looking at Hope with a nervous look. “Hey, uh, Hope, you know about that dance Dust’s brother talked about earlier?” He asked while tapping his hooves together. “Yeah. What about it?” Hope asked with a confused look. “Well, I was wondering, if you would…” Venus trailed off while trying to find the words. “I was wondering…if you like to dance…a-at the wedding!" Hope was surprised by Venus' question as she thought for a moment before she gave a small smile. “Well, sure. I would like to dance with you.” She said before she looked sheepishly. "But…uh, I never learned how to dance." Venus was surprised by this before he gave a small smile. “If you like, I could teach you how.” He offered, which made Hope smile a bit. At the other side of the room, the shapeshifter disguised as the stallion from last night as he set up the table, but turned when he saw Jolt putting his hoof on Glim’s as they smiled, which caused him to drop the plates as they shattered, which caught the group’s attention. “Glim, I am not letting you marry any filthy equine without a fight!” The shapeshifter called as he revealed his sludgepuppy form, which he gave a roar. “Who is that?!” Rarity questioned in shock. “It’s my ex-boyfriend!” Glim called in complete shock. “How’d he find out about the wedding?!” Glim’s ex then started trashing the dining hall as everyone screamed in fear as the young group saw this. “That’s gotta be the guy that attacked us last night!” Sandbar called out. “Then we better change and take him down.” Lolaxx said as she turned to Misty and Helix. “You two better change now.” "On it!" Helix replied as he and Misty quickly got under the table and they both activated their Omnitrixes. "It's payback time." He said as he programmed Chromastone while she programmed Diamondhead as they slammed the core down. Glim’s ex then wrecked more of the dining hall. “Without our gear, we’re sitting ducks!” Blast called before Glim’s ex reached out and grabbed Jolt as Glim screamed. “Jolt!” Dust cried out for her brother. “If I can’t have Glim, then neither can you, you meat puppet.” Glim’s ex growled before his harm was shot by diamond shards, dropping jolt. “Back off, filth mud!” Diamondhead called as she glared with their team beside her while Ocellus armored up while the alien teens removed their disguises. “A Petrosapien and a Crystalsapien? What are you two doing here with them?” Glim’s ex questioned. “Uh, friends of the groom?” Chromastone answered. “Then you're no friends of mine.” Glim’s ex called as he whipped it’s arm at them, which they dodged as Chromastone fired a beam at him, but his shots went right through him. “Uh-oh.” Chromastone muttered. “This could be harder than we thought.” Attea muttered before they were whacked by Glim’s ex as they smashed into the wall. “For a slimeball, he sure hits hard.” Zs’spoocy commented. “And what's worse, he hit us into some sort of spa with the heat turned up so now there's a mist around us!" Attea complained as they could barely see anything. "Back to back so it doesn't try to gang up on us!" The others all group up together as they ready themselves before Manny spotted something behind them. “Gotcha!” Manny called as he aimed his blaster, but it was just an Earth Pony mare wearing a towel as she screamed. “Manny! That’s a normal pony!” Helen exclaimed with a look. "Uh sorry, I thought you were some sort of butt ugly alien." Many apologized to her, only for the mare to get angry and threw a pillow at his head before walking off. "Was it something I said?" “You know you’re surrounded by alien girls, right?” Lolaxx questioned with her arms crossed as the rest of the girls gave Manny a glare. “Manny, I watch what you say.” Chromastone advised before a mud tentacle grabbed hold of him. “Whoa!” He called as he was pulled. “Helix!” Diamondhead called out as Chromastone turned and delivered a mighty punch to Glin’s ex, which sent them into the indoor spa pool. Glim’s ex started to dissolve in the water as it became all muddy as the others came up to them, as well as the adults, as Chromastone climbed out while covered in mud. “Ew, yuck.” Chromastone said while looking at himself before turning to his mother. “Is this what it was like fighting those mudballs, mom?” He asked. “Well, it was a dirty job. But somepony had to do it.” Dust said with a small smile as they turned to the pool and saw Glim’s ex dissolve as he gave a final moan before his eyes went out. The entire group is then outside after discussing what has happened. “We are not canceling my wedding!” Glim told Dust’s parent’s firmly. “Civilians will be at the wedding tomorrow.” Blast pointed out. “What if there’s another alien attack?” “Then some alien heroes would try and save the day again.” Helix suggested as the others chattered in agreement. “Could we at least bring our weapons?” Stealth suggested to her son. “No. No weapons.” Jolt shook his head from that. "Everyone relax, there's no need for weapons or to put anything off." Glim's mother spoke up with a calm tone. "It's all over now." "Yet somehow, I think it's just beginning." Twilight whispered to her friends. “I am having the same feeling.” Dust said with a suspicious tone. “Looks like we’re about to have one big surprise tomorrow.” Spike whispered. “Agreed.” The others nodded. A bit later, Helix was in the back of the mobile base as he moved his hooves to the steps of a dance pattern on the ground as he tried to follow the steps, but was sloppy doing it. "It kinda looks like you have a really bad rash when you move like that." He heard Helen mentioned before he stumbled onto the ground and saw her. “Ha, very funny, Helen.” Helix said as he stood up. “I never really learned how to dance. I never really had any lessons. Not my fault that I can’t even get the moves down properly.” “Helix, it’s okay to ask for help.” Helen said to him. “Why don’t you ask any of us to teach you how to dance?” “Because I… I don’t want you all to see me dancing like a doofus.” Helix admitted as he looked away in shame. “Oh, Helix.” Helen said with a warm smile as she gently grabbed Helix’s front hooves and got him to stand on his hind legs. “Just relax and follow my lead. Most importantly, don't step on her hooves." She guided his left front hoof on her side before she placed her right hand on his shoulder. "Ready?" “Kinda.” Helix said a little hesitantly. “It’s okay. Just count the steps.” Helen said as she and Helix started dancing together. “One, two. One, two.” She counted as they did a slow dance as they did a small twirl. “Forward, back. Forward, back.” She added as she and Helix then danced together in perfect pattern. “Hey, I’m dancing.” Helix said with a smile. "See? You're natural." Helen told him with a small smile. “I guess it isn’t that hard after all.” Helix said with a warm smile as well. “Where did you learn those moves? Because from what I can tell, only Misty admitted she knows how to dance.” “Self-taught, actually. I had a lot of time running to practice some new moves.” Helen said with a sly smirk. "Sometimes I take a peep in dancing classes back in Manehatten." “Impressive.” Helix complimented. “Thank you.” Helen said with a smile. “You’re quite welcome.” Helix said as the two stared at each other for a moment. “Well, isn’t that sweet?” A voice called out, which snapped Helen and Helix back into reality as they turned and saw Dust and Delta standing there with smirks on their faces. “Mom! Dad!/Delta! Dust!” The two called out as they gave huge blushes since they saw them dancing as they gave sheepish chuckles of embarrassment. “Oh, don’t feel shy. We had the same issue before.” Delta said with a chuckle. “Your father tried to impress me during our wedding, he lost his hoofing and tripped on his back.” Dust said with a giggle, which made Delta blushed a bit. “I had my hoofing wrong, okay!” He said sheepishly as Dust kept giggling. “And you’re not the only ones. Venus is teaching Hope how to dance as well.” He added as he pointed to the window, where they saw Venus holding Hope’s hoof as the two danced together, which made Hope smile as the two seemed to enjoy their time together. “Huh, guess we’re not the only ones after all.” Helix commented as Helen chuckled. “Just goes to show not everyone is perfect.” Helen said as she kissed Helix in the cheeks, which made him give a dopey smile as his parents giggled at their son’s reactions. The next day, the swans are swimming in the lake as today is Jolt and Glim’s wedding day, with Glim in a new wedding dress Rarity finished up as they are gathered in their seats. Helix was wearing the tuxedo while holding the rings as the two of them looked at each other with warm smiles. His friends and family were wearing dresses and tuxedos themselves while the Mane Six were wearing the dresses they wore at the Canterlot Wedding. Jolt and Glim smiled at one another as Glim did her best to hold her tears of joy. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness the union between Jolt and Glim.” The stallion in the middle said as Helix was behind them as he was holding the two rings in the pillow. Helix groaned a bit as he adjusted his tie a bit before he looked and saw his parents giving him assuring smiles, telling him that he’s doing great. “We are so proud.” Dust said with proud tears in her eyes. “Just look at that tux.” Delta added. “This young bride and groom are an inspiration.” The stallion in the middle continued as everyone smiled warmly. “They remind us that love conquers all, like how Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor showed us when the Changelings first invaded Canterlot. If anypony has a reason why these two should not wed, let them speak now or forever hold--” his sentence was cut short when mud was suddenly splashed right into his face. The crowd gasped before they saw Glim's parents standing on their back hooves as one of their front hooves were alien arms that were all muddy while their eyes glowed a dark purple. “Yeah, we have something to say.” Slug said as his voice sounded disoriented before the butler quickly shot up a big chunk of mud right at Blast and Stealth, trapping them both. Everyone except for the bride and the groom, Helix, his parents and his friends, Flash and the Mane Six ran away in fear. "This wedding and every creature here are about to be canceled.” “Mom, Dad, what are you doing?!” Glim questioned her parents. “Putting an end to this once and for all.” Slug answered firmly. “It was Muck and Slug behind the dirty tricks of the wedding all along!” Helix said with a glare. “What did I tell you?” Stealth spoke up with a glare. “Once a sludge always a sludge.” “This coming from the two parents who nearly blasted us in the lake two nights ago.” Manny said to them with a glare. "They're the ones who tipped off her ex-boyfriend so he could take the fall and keep suspicion off of themselves." Twilight accused with a glare. “There will be no wedding and no truce.” Slug said as he grabbed hold of Jolt and lifted him up. “Jolt!” Dust called out. “But you said… you liked me.” Jolt grunted as he struggled to break free. “We lied.” Slug said with a smirk as Glim rushed up to her parents and grabbed hold of her father. “Stop it! No!” Glim pleaded. “Stay out of this, Glim. This is for your own good!” Muck called as she did a whip lash on her daughter, which knocked her to the ground as part of the mud flew and landed on Misty and Helix’s Omnitrixes, which started beeping as they glowed yellow. They both nodded to each other in agreement as they stood up. "One and only warning, put my uncle down and we promise we'll go easy on you." Helix told them with a glare. "Or what, what can a couple of younglings do against us?" Slug questioned with an amazing smile before both watches beeped. "DNA scan complete. Lenopans DNA is now active and ready in playlist seven.” "Huh, so that's what they're really called." Misty mentioned before the cores popped up and they quickly slammed them down. The two were surprised as they transformed into their own species before they were both punched back by two muddy fists. “Time to fight mud with mud.” Helix said with a smirk as he caught his uncle and gently put him down as Glim rushed up to him. “Sorry about your suit, unc.” “It doesn’t matter. I’m alive, aren’t I?” Jolt asked with a smile. "So, the rumors about the Omnitrix were true." “Yeah. It’s a long story.” Helix said before they turned to Slug and Muck. “More wedding crashers, and they become one of our species?!” Muck questioned in irritation. “Why do we even bother with invitations?” She questioned before she and Slug then transformed into their true Lenopans forms. "Whoa! I think I prefer them when they look like ponies." Misty mentioned as the others helped out Blast and Stealth out of the mud. "Way less ugly." “You said it.” Helix said before he and Misty were smack over the lake and into the forest as the two went after them. The others were about to follow, but they saw the butler towering over them and formed his hoof into a mace as they all dodge it before he smacked the ground. “Geeze, these guys really don’t want the truce!” Gallus commented. “This is really like the Canterlot Wedding thing again!” Rainbow exclaimed. "Only it's way messier!" “He better not get any on my dresses, I worked hard on them!" Rarity complained with a glare. “Now’s not the time for that, Rarity!” Applejack exclaimed as they dodged another swing. Smolder then brought her paws out. “Stingu invisibus!” She called as boulders came out from the ground and she tossed them at the butler, but they only scratched him from the side. He reformed and moved down towards Smolder, who gave a nervous look. “Uh… you know… nice mud bath.” She said nervously before she ran off with a scream with the butler following. "What are we going to do?!” Stealth questioned herhusband. "We're completely defenseless." "Not quite that." Xylene mentioned as she and the other disguised aliens took off their masks. "And you two are the ones who promised not to bring any gear to the wedding, me and my husband didn't.” Dust said to her parents as she walked up to them with a smile and gave them two cylinder devices. Steal and Blast took them as they activated them and formed blasters. “Hah! Just like the old days. Huh, sweetie?” Blast asked his daughter with a fond smile. "Talk later, save the wedding now.” Dust replied as Smolder did her best to dodge the butler he managed to grab her tail and pull her in close. “Hey, put her down!” Ocellus called as she blasted the butler in the eye in her techno armor as the others stood ready as he reformed his face and then drew a punch as they were ready for a fight. Helix and Misty were punched back by Slug as they scattered as Misty fought Muck and Helix fought Slud. “Aren’t you guys a little old to be playing with mud?” Helix taunted. “Don’t know. But they sure are spry.” Misty commented as she narrowly dodged an attack from Muck.  "We'll teach you both to muck up our family business!" Slug said after punching Helix back. "'Family business', is that what it was all about?" Helix asked with a brow. "Because it looks to me that you're just doing this because you love fighting an endless fight but your daughter and others don't!" “She is still young! She’ll learn soon enough!” Muck called. “Or she’ll leave you to be with the stallion she loved!” Misty yelled with a glare. "But you don't care as much as let her be happy with someone she loves!” Helix added. "Either way, you're about to get your butts kicked! Actually, I can't all of you have butts with all that mud you call bodies. So let's call it a metaphor." His arm then shaped into a hammer as he charged at Muck and gave a swing right to her face. Back with the others, they are still fighting the butler as he seemed unfazed from the attacks. “Okay, after really fighting these Sludgepuppies, it make sense why they’re the toughest aliens the Plumbers have faced!” Attea called as she blasted the Butler. “They could really give my species a run for its money!” She called as she dodged a swing. Twilight teleported when the butler tried to attack them before she noticed Glim looking upset as Jolt was trying to comfort her. "Are you okay?" She asked her solemnly. Glim kept her eyes closed as she cried. “This is my special day, and no one is going to ruin it…” She started as she transformed into an equine form of her Lenopan form, except a bit more slimmer, before she opened her eyes as they glowed purple. “Especially not my family!” She yelled in rage as she rushed into battle. “Wow. She’s mad now.” Twilight commented in surprise. “And she is gonna be my wife.” Jolt said with a fond smile. The plumbers kept on firing at the butler before he managed to make them pull back when he stabbed the ground next to them. He then gave chase to them before Glim leaped High into the air and formed a mallet from her arm as she stretched it back and punched the butler in the face, knocking him down as he rubbed his stretch out neck. Stealth and Blast walked up to Glim with small smiles. “We’re sorry that we’ve been so tough on you, Glim.” Blast apologized to her. “Our daughter spoke highly of you, but we’ve been afraid that it might have been an act to get close to us.” “But now we saw that you are nothing like your parents.” Stealth said with a smile. “Can you ever forgive us?” “Of course. That’s what family is for.” Glim said with a smile before she turned back to the butler. “Look out!” She called as she pushed Stealth and Blast away to avoid a slime blast as she then wrestled her butler as she kept fighting him. Dust saw this as she then changed the settings on her blaster’s power core and it started beeping. She then quickly ran up to the butler as he was tussling with Glim. But he noticed her coming close before he revealed his full form and pushed Glim back before delivering a punch right to Dust's jaw, that sent her flying back. “Honey!” Delta called as he rushed to his wife as they looked at the butler. He roared at them, but then he heard beeping as he looked down and saw that Dust jab her blaster into his chest, which made him look on in horror. They all ran far from him before he exploded, which launched him into the air before he splat into the ground as his eyes stopped glowing. They all look at the remains of the butler. “Where’s Helix and Misty?” Zs’spoocy asked. “And my parents?” Glim asked next. Back into the forest, the two parents were being knocked back by both Helix and Misty. “You may know how to fight your own kind, but you never fought anyone like us.” Misty said firmly. “We’ve beaten many baddies who were worse than you two. We could do this all day.” Helix said firmly. “And you know, for trying to stop a treaty, ruining your own daughter’s wedding is lower than the lowest! And I’ve met worse creatures!” “We do what we can to keep the war going!” Muck exclaimed. “Even by the groom's side of the family!” Soon the two of them began to merge with each other as they started to grow bigger in size before they became very large. "Oh boy…" Misty muttered after seeing what they could do. "You've been bad little kids." Slug said before a large muddy arm launched right at them. Helix quickly pushed Misty out of the way before the hand grabbed him and pulled him in. “We're going to put you down for a nap, a dirt nap!" He mocked as Helix was merged inside. “Helix!” Misty exclaimed as Slug and Muck laughed maniacally. “You’re going to pay for that!” “Oh, and what will you do--” Muck was cut off when a green flash shined from inside them before they felt intense heat in their bodies rising. They looked down and saw what looked to be magma boiling in their center before it started to dry up their own mud. Muck and Slug yelled in pain as they were then turned to stone from the heat as punching out of their chest was Heatblast as he crawled out. “Helix!” Misty called as she was about to go to him. “Stay back, cous.” Heatblast said as he raised his hand. “Fire and Sludgepuppies clearly don’t mix together.” He said while gesturing to the stonified Muck and Slug. "That's some quick and excellent thinking there.” Misty complimented before the others found them and saw Heatblast's handy work. "So, what do you think?" He asked Glim, since they were her parents. “Seems a little big for the wedding cake.” She replied with a smile. "But it's the thought that counts." A bit later, everyone has gathered back to the wedding, while the area is wrecked and everyone is all muddy, they are happy to finish the wedding. “I now pronounce you stallion and wife.” The middle stallion said as Jolt and Glim leaned in for their marriage kiss as Helix gave a proud smile. “Yeah. Best wedding ever.” Helix said with a smile. At the reception, everyone was gathered with Jolt holding a cake for Glim. But then he smashed it in her face as they all laughed and took pictures, Misty included as she took a picture of Glim putting Jolt’s face headfirst into the cake with a smile. Soon after, the reception started as Helix was dancing perfectly with Lucky. She had a bright smile on her face while he looked nervous while trying not to step on her back hooves. But then he felt the floor be a little muddy until he looked down and saw that she was using her own mud to trip him up. Misty manage to take the picture of Helix trip with Lucky laughing. The next picture showed Delta and Dust panicking when Helix tripped and accidentally ripped his tuxedo. The next picture showed Pinkie photobombing behind Jolt and Glim beside the wedding cake. The last photo showed Helix trying to get a photobomb himself outside with Jolt and Glim, but his parents pulled him away from the picture. Misty closed the wedding book photo, while it wasn’t a normal wedding they hope, it sure will be one to remember.
