"Move your fuckin' ass Revy!" Eda shouted in the halls of the Lagoon.

"I can't get this fuckin' thing tied up." Revy shouted from her room.

"Jesus Christ, open the door bitch!" Eda shouted banging on the door.

Revy opened the door for Eda and when she entered her room, Eda stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of her friend. Revy was dressed in a white and gold Cheongsam, similar to the dress Rock had bought her though with a veil and other frilly bits. Her hair was tied up behind her as it had been months ago in New York, short curly strands dangling in her face. Her skin still bore some indication of the bruises she suffered during the attack a full month later, though most had healed completely.

At Eda's reaction to Revy's appearance, Revy asked with panic on her face, "What? Is something wrong?"

"I just…I never knew."

Revy turned to face the mirror in her room, her hands raised to her face in search of something out of place, "Knew what?!"

Eda smiled, "I just never saw how beautiful you were beneath the guns and attitude."

Revy smiled slightly as she turned her back to Eda, the troublesome lacing present for Eda, "So can you help me tie this fucker or what?"

On the other end of the Lagoon, Dutch observed Rock as he finished fixing his bowtie, "Lookin' good Rock."

Rock smiled in the mirror, "Thanks." He turned to face Dutch, "Thanks for doing this."

"I did offer didn't I?"

"Still, I appreciate it."

"You just do what you've been doing and you keep that girl happy, you understand?"

"I will." Rock replied with a smile before giving Dutch a manly hug.

On the deck of the Lagoon, chairs were set up to form an aisle. Seated were some of Roanapur's most known and feared faces, Balalaika, Comrade Boris, Shenhua, Bao, etc…

Among them, Benny sat beside Jane and checked his watch, "10:30. I can barely believe he was even able to wake her up this early let alone get her to agree to this."

"I don't know how he's going through with it to be honest. I couldn't get away from her fast enough after I met her." Jane scoffed as she folded her arms in a huff.

"Rock and Revy are…complicated. It's hard to explain, but they compliment each other really well. Revy's really uptight and Rock is cool and calm. He's always there for her to keep her grounded in reality." Benny replied.

"Complicated?" Jane replied as thought it was the only word she heard, "She seems like a complete head case."

Benny began to take offense to Jane's Revy bashing, "She can be tough to get along with but try not to forget she is my friend."

Jane winced having realized she had gone to far, "I'm sorry, it's just that…after having her gun pointed at me for nearly 20 minutes, I kinda lost the wanting to give her a chance."

"Eh, 20 minutes isn't that bad really. She probably has a gun on Rock half the time they're together. You get used to it. Her bark is…" Benny realized what he was saying, "…well no, her bite is actually way worse, but she does have a threshold…" again he caught himself, "…well no, that's not quite right either."

"What the fuck?! How long is the going to take huh?!" Abgrego shouted receiving a slap on the back of the head courtesy of Balalaika.

A couple of minutes passed before Dutch appeared on deck wearing a very fine suit, Rock following and taking his place at the head of the aisle.

With little in the way of preparations and adornments, Dutch began the ceremonies, "I'm afraid we don't have any music out here, but if you'll please turn around…" Dutch smiled as he got first glimpse of his friend in her dress, "…here she comes."

The small audience stood and turned to the rear of the ship where Boss Chang held Revy's arm as he walked with her toward the aisle.

She once again mesmerized rock as she approached. Words or pictures could never do her justice. She blushed as her peers focused on her as she walked down the aisle. She came to Rock's side and Boss Chang gave her a kiss on the cheek before taking his seat beside Balalaika.

Rock took her hand into his and she gave him an excited smile.

"Friend's, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye. In fact I think everyone of us has pointed a gun at every other one of us at one time or another. But for today, we're forgetting all that. Today we're here to celebrate two people who have somehow managed to fall in love in this shit hole city. I've known Revy for a long time and to be honest, I think I've only really started to know her since she's been with Rock. He brings out a side of her that I never knew existed. Likewise, she's brought out a side in Rock that truthfully, I'd rather he keep hidden."

The audience chuckled slightly and Dutch continued with a smile, "But, you put them together and…well, what can you say; magic happens. I've never seen either of them as happy as they are when they're with each other, and I couldn't think of two people who deserve this more than these two right here."

The audience clapped at Dutch's speech and he asked, "I've been told they wrote their own vows for each other so Rock, if you wouldn't mind?"

Rock turned to face Revy and took her hands into his. He took a deep breath struggling to make this sound as heartfelt as possible as opposed to sounding like a recital, "Revy, when I first met you, I was scared to death. I was almost certain that every day of those first 6 months would have been my last. But, as time passed, I started to see a side of you that was buried beneath the hard exterior. The more I saw that side, the more I noticed I was looking for it, and before I knew it, you were all I could think about. All the things you did and said to me, no matter how harsh they were, they didn't matter. I was already crazy about you and nothing in this world or this place can or will change that. I love you Rebecca."

Balalaika of all people wore a sheet of tears in her eyes and Revy was awash in tears.

As she wiped the tears from her eyes, Dutch asked, "Revy?"

"Rock…" She began only to cut herself off, "…Ah, fuck. Why'd you have to do that so good, now mine are gonna suck."

"Revy…" Dutch said as somewhat of a warning.

"Fuck, alright here goes…" She collected herself and began, "Rock, after all I've put you through these past few months, I can't believe you're still here. Not only are you still here, but you've stayed with me always. You always try to get through to me, to help me when things are hard. You're my best friend. Looking back, I don't know how I survived without you for so long. You give me a reason to wake up every morning. To see your smile, to hold your hand, to hear your voice; I love you so much Rock. I can't wait to be your wife."

The audience, Rock, and Dutch; they were all a complete mess of tears.

"Jesus Christ, I can't fuckin' take this. Rock do you?"

"I do."

"Revy do you?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, now please…" Dutch fixed his glasses and smiled, "…give that girl a kiss."

The audience stood and gave a round of applause as Rock and Revy wrapped each other in their arms, sharing their first kiss as husband and wife.

They pulled apart a few seconds later sharing a tight embrace.

Revy whispered in his ear, "I love you so much."

Rock returned the whisper, "I love you too Revy."

A few hours later, the wedding had moved to the Yellow Flag which Bao had closed to the public, and Balalaika had surrounded with armed guards.

The Wedding party sat at the bar knocking back drinks, sharing stories and laughing for hours. Tomorrow, things would return to normal and the cold blood of Roanapur would flow once again, but tonight, the criminals that kept the wheels of Roanapur turning were nothing more than friends and colleagues.

Boss Chang stood from the bar and raised his glass, "If I could have your attention, I've prepared a little something."

The crowd quieted down and Chang cleared his throat before he began, "I've known Rebecca longer than all of you. I found her stowed away on one of my ships some time ago and at the time, I was going through one of the worst parts of my life. Then I found this cold vessel of a girl and all of a sudden, I had a set of ears I for some reason felt comfortable talking to. She grew up before my eyes and in time, she started to open up to me. She became the protégé I never knew I needed, and before I knew it; she had fixed me. Now here we are almost 15 years later, and again, someone who was thrust into this world has become a welcome pair of ears."

He turned his attention directly to Rock, "I don't know how you did it son, but the girl you married today, she's not the broken little girl I took in all those years ago. She's become an amazing woman, and she might have never gotten this chance if you never came into her life. Just as I owe her my life, she owes you hers. To Rock and Revy everyone, let's hear it."

The Wedding party offered up a round of applause and began to ring their glasses together bringing Rock and Revy's smiles to meet yet again.

Bao switched the jukebox on and as they held each other, Rock asked his wife, "How did we get here?"

"I pulled a gun on you, remember?" Revy replied seriously, before losing out to her smile.

She wrapped her arms around Rock's neck and brought their lips to meet once again.


That's it for this one. If you made it this far I hope you enjoyed it.

I know I went OC in this chapter and I apologize, but after what I put them through in the first three, I felt they REALLY needed some happiness and so, I broke the rules a bit. I'm not sure if this spells the end for these tales of Rock and Revy. It feels bittersweet to me, and just as I felt I didn't know where to go after Round Two, I'm not sure I know where to go from here.

Anyway, to those who have followed these four tales of mine, I thank you : )
