Again, sorry for the delay, but here's the first chapter of the finale from my ZX series! I'll try to update whenever I can, but I might not be able to spend to much time looking at the bright white screen like this... Anyways, here's the first chapter!

World Reset

Chapter 1 – Family Plans

Two years had passed since Weil was defeated once more by the four Chosen Ones, mostly by Vent. The number of Maverick attacks had slowly decreased, but the Mavericks didn't completely disappear. Even so, he married Guardians were living happily in the Guardian Base as the Hunters went back to live in the Hunter Camp.

It was late at noon in the Guardian Base and the pink airship was filled with the Guardian members as they had just gone back from their daily patrols or doing requests for the people of Innerpeace. As the other Guardians were taking a break while having some fun chatting with their fellow Guardian friends, the married Guardian couple, Vent and Aile, was sitting anxiously in the medic wing, watching as the older nurse was checking some files in a folder.

Vent and Aile held their hands together as they sat in front of the counter, watching Muguet as she went through the files inside the folder she was holding. Muguet finally closed the folder and let out a long sigh before tossing the folder down on the counter in front of her and looked at the anxious brown-haired Guardians.

"Well?" Vent spoke up impatiently, "How is it?"

Muguet let out another sigh and turned her head away from the couple, looking down on the folder instead, "Well… I'm not sure what to say to you two about this… You two might be able to have a baby, even with some mechanical parts in your body from the fact that you're actually humanoids, but… I can say that I can't guarantee that you two can have one soon…"

Without another word, Vent released Aile's hand, much to Aile's surprise, "Vent?" Aile saw that her husband rose from his seat while having his head lowered before leaving the room silently. Aile let out a sad sigh before turning back to Muguet, "I'm sorry for Vent's actions, Muguet… I know you've tried your best for us."

Muguet shook her head and smiled, "No, it's okay," Muguet turned to the door where Vent had gone off to and her smile turned into a frown, "I can tell that he must be very disappointed, though."

Aile nodded in agreement before putting her hands together on her lap, "I know he is. The truth is… Vent was the one who wanted a child the most," Aile lowered her head, "He said that he wouldn't insist having one if I don't want to, but I wish…" Aile raised her head, traces of tears were seen in her eyes, "I wish that I can give him one… He's given me so much happiness, so I thought I could repay him by having a child…"

"Now, now, please don't cry…" Muguet walked over to Aile and patted her back before sitting next to her, "I promise, I'll do what I can to help!"

"Thanks… Muguet…" Aile wiped her tears away and forced a smile before getting up from her seat, "I'll go and find Vent now… I'm sure he's disappointed by the news, but I'll be there to comfort him."

"Alright," Muguet nodded before she got up from her seat as well, "It seems like you've been a good wife to him, Aile."

Aile smiled as a faint blush appeared on her face, "That's who I want to be! I want to be his loving wife!"

Aile went out through the door and headed towards the elevator, already expecting where her husband might be. She pushed the button to go up to the deck and got out from the airship to be greeted by the orange color of sunset. Aile looked around on the deck and found Vent, leaning against the railing as he looked up at the darkening sky.

"I knew it that you're going to be here," Vent was surprised by the familiar voice, turning around to see that Aile was standing by the door.

"Aile…" Vent saw as she walked over to him before he let out a sigh, "Sorry about earlier… I shouldn't have run off like that…"

"It's okay, I understand," Aile leaned on Vent's shoulder a little before putting her hand on Vent's, which was on top of the railing, "I know how you feel, because I feel the same way," Aile looked up at Vent's green eyes, "You know, ever since you asked about if I wanted to have a child, I always thought how it would feel like to be a mother… to feel how my mom would feel when she had me…"

"Aile…" Vent pulled his wife into a hug, "I'm sure that you'll be a good and loving mother… just like yours…"

"Thanks Vent…" Aile's grip on Vent's hand became tighter as she felt that more tears were starting to fall from her eyes, "But… I don't feel like I deserve to have someone as kind as you to be my husband…"

"What are you talking about?" Vent broke the hug and looked at Aile with a smile, "You were the one who looked after me the most other than Boss since he rescued us from that Maverick raid. I'm just returning the favor," Vent wiped the tears on Aile's face, "So stop crying and start smiling okay? You know how much I like you when you're smiling…"

Aile let out a laugh, "I suppose I know…" Aile turned to look at the sunset, with Vent's arm around her shoulders, "It's the sunset… Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yeah," Vent nodded in agreement, "I wonder why we hadn't come up here together to watch the sunset before?"

"I don't know… Maybe because we were busy with all the fighting and stuff?" Aile let out a sigh, "But it's been two years we're having this kind of peace here…" Aile paused for a moment while looking at the sunset before she remembered something, "Hey, I wonder how Ashe and Grey are doing now…"

"Now that you mention it, we haven't heard much from them since our wedding," Vent turned to Aile and let out a laugh, "I wonder what kind of mess they're in right now…"

In the Hunter Camp on the ground, six Hunters were sitting in the 01 building's café with some cards in their hands. The Hunter with silver ponytailed hair scanned the other Hunters' faces while hiding her grin behind her cards before she slammed her cards on the table, knocking away some of the Energy Crystals on the table.

"Score! I win again!" The young woman exclaimed loudly, while the other silver-haired Hunter sitting on her left put his cards on the table in disappointment.

"Aw, man!" The Hunter turned to the young woman, "Ashe, why are you so good at emptying my pockets?"

"I have no idea, Grey! Maybe you're just unlucky to lose your crystals to me!" The young woman, Ashe said proudly, while the other Hunters laughed in the background.
