Leon and Jacob entered the ship, the entrance closing behind them. The inside of the ship was filled with all sorts of complicated machinery, tools, metal boxes, etc. Jacob walked towards the control panel, and pressed a button.
It was chilly inside the ship, and this made the two siblings relax. All that walking from earlier made them sweat, and this was just what they needed.
From outside, the ship started floating. Its "wings" spread out, and its thrusters made the grass and the trees dance wildly.
And in an instant, the spacecraft they were on suddenly disappeared with a bright flash of blue light.
From Leon's point of view, they were instantly in space, the floating city called Umbrellas was in the far distance. The floating city was surrounded by a small meteor belt, and it was being protected by some sort of barrier, which was most likely the dome that Leon saw earlier in the sky.
Ships could be seen coming and going. Just like in the city, which was bustling with life, it was also bustling with ships outside in space.
"What planet was your brother on again?" asked Jacob succinctly.
Rosalind replied, "62-Litus-55, I think."
With that, Jacob inserted the planet's corresponding coordinates into the control panel.
Then, Rosalind and Jacob sat on the two chairs that were facing the control panel. Rosalind looked at her older brother behind them, and asked, "Have you at least prepared any gifts for Benedict?"
Gifts? Is that really required? I didn't bring any…
"I forgot," replied Leon.
"You're hopeless…" Rosalind said with an exasperated sigh.
I'm sorry your brother is so incompetent… Sigh, I could just give my watch to him as a gift…
Suddenly, Jacob chuckled, and said, "Heh heh, dealing with an incompetent younger sibling can be very stressful. I totally get you, Rosalind."
Upon hearing this, Leon's left eye twitched.
Oh, so you're on her side? And who are you calling "incompetent"?! Also, I'm her older brother!
Leon suppressed the urge to punch the man in the face. Suddenly, Rosalind replied to Jacob's words, her voice serious, "No one can insult a member of my family. Donovan's not incompetent, and plus, I'm his younger sister. Say something out of line again, and I'll mess up your pretty face."
"Uh, s-sorry. Won't happen again," stuttered Jacob.
Woah… Go get him, sis! Hehe…
Leon smiled, and took a seat on a chair behind his sister.
As Jacob put his hands on the "steering wheel," the outside and inside of the spacecraft suddenly started to warp, its surface glowing a bright blue light.
And at that moment, the spaceship disappeared.
62-Litus-55, a planet similar to Earth.
The ship containing Leon, Rosalind, and Jacob appeared in the distance. They had just completed a warp jump.
The ship slowly approached the planet in the distance.
At the sight of the planet, Leon was lost in his thoughts again.
It's a planet similar to Earth… I've seen all sorts of stuff from the original Donovan's memories, but it all still amazes me.
In a bustling town full of alien life, human life, and technology, everyone was headed towards a church. Flying vehicles were everywhere, as if they were here to attend something.
From high above, a black spacecraft caught everyone's attention as it slowly descended. As the ship landed safely on the grass, the entrance suddenly opened, and three people came out at the same time. One with blonde hair, and two with brown hair.
Aliens…
Leon tried to hide the excitement on his face upon seeing alien life everywhere, but since he's already seen aliens in his memories, he wasn't that affected by it.
There were all sorts of aliens in their own clothing, with some not even wearing clothes at all. Overweight aliens with pink skin and an elephant trunk, tall pitch-black aliens with sharp teeth and a bulging head, slimes with two floating eyeballs in its upper area, and octopus aliens in human clothing, specifically suits.
There were some humans, but they were very few in number.
In the distance was a tall, large, gothic church that didn't seem manmade but "alienmade"...
The church was located on a cliffside. On the left was the vast, blue ocean. Ignoring the trees and buildings that seemed too alien, it would make one think that they were on Earth. The breeze was nice and chilly, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.
"I'll finally be an 'auntie' in the future…" said Rosalind as the three walked towards the church.
A while later, after everyone entered the church, the ceremony finally began. Leon was surprised that a wedding on an alien planet was in the traditional way that humans did it, but on second thought, Benedict was probably the one who requested it.
***
Amidst the soft music, the human priest in a white robe said, "Do you, Benedict, take Lillian to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in joy and in sorrow, for as long as you both shall live?"
Benedict said in a warm smile, "I do."
"Do you, Lillian, take Benedict to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in joy and in sorrow, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," said Lillian with her kind eyes and a warm smile.
And then, the two exchanged their vows. Right after that, the priest said, "By the power vested in me, and in the essence of your loved ones, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss!"
With that, the couple sealed their vows with a kiss, and the guests cheered. Rosalind was clapping her hands with tears in her eyes, while Leon was just following along.
Hey, this is such a bad start for the first day of my transmigration!
As the couple walked down the aisle amidst the cheering, Benedict saw his two siblings standing at the side. Rosalind waved at him with a tearful smile. Then, Benedict rushed towards the two and gave them a tight hug.
Benedict ruffled Leon's hair, and said, "It's been so long, you two!"
Benedict had brown hair and green eyes. He had a visible, stubble beard. He wore a black tuxedo and a black bowtie. Overall, he exhibits the aura of a person who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Benedict's newlywed wife, Lillian, approached the three of them. Benedict introduced her to them with a wide smile, "You two, this is Lillian Monette, our new member of the family!"
Lillian Monette wore a white, ethereal, and beautiful wedding gown. She had black hair and blue eyes. She was very, very beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that she's the one everyone has their attention on.
Rosalind bowed, while Leon bowed slightly late. "I'm so glad I finally met you! Please take care of our brother," said Rosalind.
"I will, sister-in-law." Lillian said as Benedict kissed her softly in the forehead.
Sister-in-law… Hehe… Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Rosalind was immediately filled with joy.
Benedict turned to Leon and said as he looked him up and down, "Looking good, Donovan. Still working in Umbrellas?"
"Mhm," replied Leon.
"...Just don't die." Benedict's eyes were filled with understanding, as if he knew how dangerous the job was.
Yeah, I know…
"I won't."
After that, Rosalind gave them a gift in a small box. As for Leon, he just gave Benedict his expensive silver watch. Then, the couple left the two for now and continued with the wedding party. After a while, people and aliens were dancing, singing, and eating. The wedding was bustling with life.
Leon was seated on a single table, eating chocolate cake on a small plate. He was thinking about his brother's words from earlier:
"Just don't die…"
From the memories of the original owner of his body, Leon knew how dangerous the life of a Visitor was. A Visitor could teleport to a planet for a mission, not knowing that the same planet could be their final resting place.
I'll get strong… and return home. My home.
As he sipped on a glass cup of red wine, he decided to turn his focus on the crowd in front of him.
But then, someone who was seated alone at the gazebo caught his attention. It was a woman with black hair in a black trench coat. His eyes slightly widened. If memory serves him right, this was a fellow Visitor! A Visitor he knew!
