At the Wedding Pt 23

"Charge!"

"For the Gardners!"

"For Jimbo, Lil' Star and Aye-Lee!"

"For the Last Dinner Table!"

Walt and the others came out guns blazing and weapons swinging to meet the cybernetic dead. They were armed with weapons both improvised and not, nerve and their battle cries echoing throughout the stadium like thunder.

Meanwhile plowing through the enemies midst a giant red monster truck rampaged as the Canyonero, and Friday through it, had switched from "passive" to "active" defense. It's highbeam headlights glowed sinisterly after being spattered with a red substance. It's motor roared as it jumped obstacles to bring crashing destruction to the unliving foes. She was more than a squirrel squashing, deer smacking machine... she was a monster of devastation. She was ****.

And in her wake followed a similar charge of the pets. Tigers roared. Horses whinnied. Cats and dogs yowled and howled as more exotic creatures also joined in with their own cries. They trampled the fallen foes coming to their beloved owner's and master's defense lead by Zwei and Corgi-Charles with Blake and Yang on horseback.

Walt and Bowie with their guns blazing. Dee and Pyrrha fighting side by side. Bowsette, Nora and Rog tossing around fire and explosions with glee as Hoofer and Samus covered them. Pirotess and the other elves bringing a ballet of battle to the enemy. Penny and the other flying and high mobility combatants desended like Valkyries over the battlefield while Roberta, the robots and droids were like some unstoppable machines of termination. And all bathed in the firey glow of flames as Ilulu and her dragonfire made the stadium a hellish inferno for the enemy... not to mention the sinister and perverse traps and defenses that were being activated! Hightech firepower met kinky BDSM depravities destroying, ensnaring... and doing other things to truly unfortunate foes that would likely have impressed the most jaded of infernal sadists.

Ada, PAM and KL-E-O unleasing a barrage of energy blasts then arming themselves with flaming dildo clubs and pneumatic apparatuses to weild against their foes. HK-47 and and T3-M4 blasting away with whistles and chirps and cries of "meatbag". Sergeant RL-3 shouting patriotic jargon while using a flamethrower as ED-E zipped about playing fanfare and battle music.

Lydia and Aela bringing fantastic medieval destruction to their opponents like a well oiled machine. Glynda and Raven swatting foes with telekineticly hurled projectiles. Penny and Sasha cutting through enemies with aerial acrobatic precision. Sienna's chain weapon sweeping enemies down while Kali bashed them with heavy skillet. Serana and Merida's arrows streaking out to hit foes with amazingly precise archery. Even a glowing spectral giant Boarbatusk crasging through enemies as Willow directed it furious that someone tried to ruin the happy occasion.

Manami was trying to record it all. The spectacle was unlike anything that she had ever witnessed let alone dreamed of recording. She wished she had even more hands and cameras... or she would have if she wasn't distracted. Her hero held her hand through it all! Every step of the way. Protecting and guiding her as he called out and directed the flow of battle. He was a conductor. A maestro! And this was his orchestra! His symphony! Leading them towards the rendezvous point step by step unfaltering. Unwavering... and smiling!

The Canyonero and pet cavalry met their forces as the pincer maneuver completed punching through the enemies. The Canyonero came to a sliding stop and Sayoko jumped out of the sunroof in a backflip throwing kunai with one hand and landing kneeling before them. She had the Senko shrine in her other arm. "Apologies for the delay, Master."

Walt continued smiling. "Nonsense. You're timing was impeccable dear Sayoko! Could you and Roberta be dears and deliver that to Senko for me if it isn't any trouble?"

Sayoko gave a little smile seeing the clear path they'd carved for her to where Senko stood chanting guarded over by Lifts-Her-Tail, Haruhime and even the human Demona who was armed with a weaponized sextoy laucher. Roberta joined her with a smile. They both nodded to each other then courtsied. "It would be our very great pleasure, Master!" They immediately set off to carry out their beloved Masters wishes. Come hell or high water they'd deliver the precious cargo.

Walt nodded smiling and raised his gun. "Regroup and fallback! Cover the pets and our allies! Hello Neo," he said as she joined them. "How was the ride?"

Neo tapped her chin as if thinking as she used Hush to skewer a Husk behind her. She then made a wavy motion with one hand and a smirk followed by a cicled thumb and forefinger.

Walt laughed. "A little bumpy but ok over all, eh? Glad to hear it. Is that Mystique and Blake driving?"

She shook her head followed by a nod and holding up two fingers as Walt fired.

Walt grinned. "Ah right. The "other" Blake. I almost forgot about her fir a second there."

Neo shook her head rolling her eyes. She didn't believe that for a second. She grinned to looking around at the expertly controlled and orchestrated chaos. He hadn't forgotten about a thing. She winked.

He chuckled. "Not this time. They're dear friends and "family" so this is purely pro bono work. No profit. Good deeds can be their own reward you know." He chuckled as she rolled her eyes again. "I promise to "reward" you myself for being a good girl. All of you."

Neo grinned and waved to the camera and her friend Manami waggling her eyebrows up and siwn while jerking her thumb at Walt. They got that on tape!

Penny landed next to them. "That sounds like a wonderful idea! We will be looking forward to that! But..." she cut down some more Husks as they fell back. "I think you deserve some rewarding too, Walt!" She looked at the camera briefly. "Does that not sound both fair and fun!"

Walt shrugged but was grinning. "Whatever makes you all happy, makes me happy too! Having you, all of you, in my life? Being able to share that with you? Together?That's the greatest reward I'll ever recieve! I love you all!" He fired again and then holstered the pistol after butt stroking another with the revolvers grip. "Do me a favor and help everyone else fall back safely?"

Penny and Neo both nodded and dashed away. They were nearly at the entrance to the defensive **** point. The plan had gone off without a hitch-

Manami stepped back on something that rolled under her feet. She let go of Walt's hand as she tried to regain her balance before falling tripping over a sextoy. "Ouch! Sorry that wasn't... very..."

Her eyes went wide. They were alone. Walt was alone! He was precise and controlled like a striking snake before... but fought savagely now. Like a cornered ferocious animal. He still smiled but it was a savage grin. He was no longer the "commander". He hadn't activated the release of any seals either... but this was Walt as just a combatant with a single objective.

He was the protector. Her protector. He wouldn't let a single monster harm a single hair on her head. Not after just declaring how he loved them all... including her. This wasn't training. Wasn't practice. Wasn't even a "fair" match. This was Walt holding nothing back against a horde of things seeking to do her harm.

He broke mechanically reinforced undead bodies with his bare hands and feet as they tried to swarm him before Senko got her defense charms up. He fought to hold them back. He did look back over his shoulder though to quickly smile at her. "Are you okay, Manami?"

*He's fighting to protect me,* Manami realized. *Smiling to reassure me. My hero... my hero who loves me! And I-* "I LOVE YOU WALTER!"

Her quirk activated. Activated stronger than ot ever had before and Walt was surrounded by dense thick pink heart filled smoke. His strength, power and abilities immediately skyrocketed in power. He drive a hole straight through his enemies with the big knife. A punch nearly decapitated another dead thing. A kick sent a towering brute's broken body flying and crashing through it's compatriots.

"Walt!" A blade flew through the air to strike the ground to his right as a hail of missles flew around them. Their allies were rushing to their aid. He ripped the blade from the ground recognizing the sword he'd given Pirotess and proceeded to tear a swath through their foes... but not before smiling at Manami and saying the most important thing. "I love you, Manami!"

"I love you!" She said again, all thoughts of her camera forgotten where it lay it's light on recording everything clearly despite its akward angle. "You're my hero!"

Shots rang out as battle cries raised and their friends joined them for another round. They began to **** the gap with the fallen as a beautiful but strong voice chanted over the din. Senko finishing her prayer of divine protection. A feeling of peaceful calm settled over the area as a whirling storm of cherry blossoms attacked the enemy pushing them out. A divine wind. She smiled. "All is well protected now."

"Friday," Walt said. "Status report. What was that just now, please?"

(("Manami Aiba activated her quirk, "Love". It's a target based emitter type. "Love" allows the user to power up a target by confessing their feelings for them.

The more intense the user's love is, the stronger the power transmitted to the target is. This empowering makes the target physically stronger and faster than usual. This empowered state is known as "Lover Mode". Heart-shaped smoke appears around the body of the target when "Lover Mode" is active.

Currently you are operating at effectively double your physical stats, Boss. Congratulations. It appears Manami loves you quite a lot, Walter."))

Walt smiled down at the young woman. "I think the feeling might be mutual... for such a timid wounded but sweet person she's incredibly brave and wonderful."

Neo grinned joining them ontop of the pile of fallen foes. She elbowed him clearly encouraging him to tell her just that.

Walt nodded still enveloped in heart like smoke. "I think I'll do just that before-"

"PWBI! EVERYONE REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE! CEASE AND DESIST ALL ACTIVITY!" The remains of the devastated and dilapidated arena started swarming with PWBI agents, response teams, investigators and local LEOs.

"Who are they?" Penny asked.

Walt rolled his eyes. "The cavalry. The late kind as per usual."
