Hi There agian! I'm back with another BalthierxFran! I really do love this pairing. This takes place about 2 years after the game. This will be my first chapter story(that actually has a story line). So please, be honest and tell me what you think.
I so do own FF12. i bought the game and spent my 50 dollars on it. So there, make sence of that!!
She walked into the Strahl cockpit where she saw here partner fiddling around with some of the controls. The wayfarer observed the sky pirate. His usual calm demeanor was filled with anxiety. It appeared as I he did not even notice the Viera standing at the entry way. She strode silently to the copilot seat. He abruptly stopped messing around and looked at his partner.
"You mind making yourself a little more known. You startled me there." Balthier said with a smirk.
"Forgive me." Fran replied as she studied her partner. "What were you doing?" she asked.
"Oh…nothing. Just setting the coordinates to the Paramina Rift." He replied as he flicked the final switch. "What's wrong?" the ex judge asked as he glanced over to his partner.
"Nothing is wrong. Something troubles you? Why do we go to the Rift?" she shot back.
Baltheir stared at this partner "there are some valuables in the Stilshrine of Maruim that I thought we might salvage. Nothing troubles me. The engine is making a strange noise and I was wondering if it has to do with that we are in Jagd Difor." He said as the both looked out the windshield and saw the jungle below them. "It's been a while since we received the stone though…I don't know why it would be giving her any problems. Perhaps something else is malfunctioning." He finished as he returned to the controls.
"I shall examine the engine room." Fran said as she continued to watch the sky. She looked at her partner as she rose. 'What is he worried about?' she wondered as she walked out.
The sky pirate's eyes followed his partner as she walked out of the cockpit. After the doors closed and her footsteps were no longer heard he let out a sigh. 'Always have to get straight to work, don't you?' he thought as his attention returned to the control panel. Balthier really wished that Fran would open up to him more. I mean, of coarse, he knew more about her than probably any other Hume would know, but she new Balthier probably more than he knew himself. "But such is life" he said aloud to himself and he continued his work.
Fran entered the engine room to find the source of the noise. The smell of oil bored into her nostrils as she examined all the machinery. "All the equipment is functioning." She said to herself as she proceeded to walk over to the sky stone. She noticed that the mist coming from the stone was flaunting. 'Why did I not notice this earlier?' she wonder to her self. She went to touch the stone when it shattered. As the stone shattered she ship gave a deep lurch.
"FRAN!!!" the Viera heard her partner scream.
She quickly made her way to the cockpit to see her partner trying to keep the ship in the air. She sat down in the copilot seat and started to help keep the ship up.
"What happened?" Baltheir asked.
"The skystone shattered." She replied simply.
Balthiers eyes shifted to his partner. "The stone did what?" he asked with disbelief.
"It shattered. We shall have to reuse the one that we had before this gift from Reddas." She replied without any sound to hint that she was concerned.
"We are going to crash into Golmore." He said with disbelief as the ship made impact.
Well, that's it for the first chapter. Tell me what you think, okay! and also, i think that i maight want to put some side pairings in the stroy. Any suggestions? R&R
