In the darkness of the Factory's lower level, a man stood laughing.
"They fell for it… something that I will never forget. I fooled the gang" the man said in an evil way. Then the X.a.n.a symbol appeared, glowing red on his forehead.
(A/n: Lord Maximus... you really need to get out of my mind)
The Gang arrived back in Japan and were sent back to the Kin's palace. Everyone walked up the large steps and were greeted by Astara
"Im glad you all are back… the maid told me what happened. Im just glad you all are safe" she said happily.
Ulrich had his hands in his pockets… one was fiddling with one special object that kept his mind traveling on other things.
Joshua was very happy to be back home… he ran to Astara and gripped her leg, giving it a tight squeeze. Astara crouched down and gave him a hug.
"Yumi, can I talk to you for a second?" Ulrich asked.
Yumi nodded and looked at the others.
"Look at the time… its time for lunch" Kate said, taping the invisible watch on her hand.
"Yes! Food!" Odd said and ran into the palace. The other followed and left Yumi and Ulrich alone.
"What is it you want to talk to me about, Ulrich?" Yumi asked, while walking up and standing in front of him.
He took a deep sigh.
'Now or never' he thought.
Yumi smiled as she heard this.
Ulrich looked at Yumi, straight in the eye.
"You don't know how long, I've been meaning to ask you this" he said with a slight laugh and smile.
Ulrich took the object out of his pocket and got down on one knee. Yumi saw that the object was a little box covered in burgundy velvet.
"Yumi, will you marry me?" Ulrich asked and opened the box to reveal a silver ring with a heart in the center.On one side of the heart, there was a gold leaf and on the other side a bronze lead.
'Say yes Yumi' Kate said in the back of Yumis head
Yumi's mouth gapped open. She dropped to her knees and gave Ulrich a hug.
"Is that a yes?" he asked.
Yumi nodded.
"FINALLY" Odd and Kate's voice rang out from the door.
Ulrich and Yumi released each other and looked at the door to reveal Odds head at the bottom of the open doors, with Kates on top, then Jeremie, Aelita's, Astara, Alex's, Vanessa's, and last Joshua. They were all smiling at them. Then they all broke out of the huddle and ran to the Ulrich and Yumi and embraced them all in a hug.
"So… is it going to be a spring wedding or a fall wedding?" Astara asked with a smile plastered on her face.
Final chapter... im sorry it took so long people. I had school, then practice and meets, and Youth Court, so i was kind of busy at the points. And i had writers block for a while so that was even worst. R&R.. the sequel will come soon enough... just be patient.
