The Hacker, The Shotgun Guy, and The Prince


Author's note: Recently, I was having this unstoppable interest at Versus XIII. I've seen a lot of fanfics about this unreleased game, but there are rarely about OC. So I though perhaps it will be nice to make this story. Yet I'm not pairing my OC to Noctis, he has Stella for this. Instead I want to try to pairing her with Prompto. I like this guy, you know. I'm still working at 'Twisted in Fate' and 'Cerita Kami: Our Story' but I lacked of ideas for them (groaned). So if you have idea for them you can tell me. I'm really appreciating it in fact. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. I welcomed your reviews and flames. However if you can, I'm more preferable constructive reviews and critics rather than flames.

Summary: Agi Frontier was not- so-normal Toronto's teenager. Not after she got throw to another world where she must help a certain Prince Noctis to protect the crystal and found a way to go home. But can she do it when she slowly attached to one single person she not expected to be close by?

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy Versus XIII forever, except of course for my OC.

Pairings: NoctisxStella, PromptoxOC.


Chapter 01: AGI

Thunder roared above sky, accompanied by rolling dark clouds. In the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, everyone was hurrying on their way. They didn't want to catch up in rain or storm. The voice of a woman faintly heard from one of the television put on the French food restaurant.

"Hello? How are you? We hope you have a nice day. Today we will see the weather assumption in every country. First of all…"

Thorough the crowd of walking peoples, a teenager girl walked fast to the west. Her name was Agi Frontier, 17 years old, recently in twelve grades. She stopped right in front of the restaurant then stared at the dark sky. She sighed deeply.

"Oh dear, I hope Dean and Keith are bring their umbrella." Agi shook her head pitifully. Her big brother and little brother really need to pay more attention at their mother's advice to brought umbrella today.

She wore short sleeved grey polo shirt, blue pants, grey tennis shoes, and black loose jacket which reached her knees with elbow sleeved and hood to cover her head. She also brought a small National Geographic backpack on her back. Her long blond hair was above her waist. She tied it into a loose braid. Her height was around 167 cm, a normal height for a girl on her age. Her lime green eyes glanced at her black cell phone. 14:07 PM. She sighed as she shoved the cell phone back to her pocket. Hopefully she would arrive quickly in library. She must lend few books of legends to accomplish her homework. Doesn't mean she detested it, moreover she loved ancient history. But seriously, what kind of teacher who would give homework at his students to make at least three pages of papers description about one kind of legend they would research in one week! Really, her history teacher was nuts sometimes!

Then as if wanted to worse her day, the rain started to fall.

"...And for Canada, there will be heavy rain from noon to midnight. So for you who will be out or in way to go home, please be careful since there is will also fog and a lot of winds..."

Agi resisted the urge to slap her head.

"Dear God. Now Dean and Keith would be back to home in drenched wet for surely... That if they didn't get a cold later. "

She hoped they would stay for a while in their cousin house until the rain ceased and call their mother. Both of them were visiting Nathan's home to play some new games.

Her cell phone rang inside her pocket, she almost squeaked since she still tensed. She pulled out her phone to have her mother's number on the screen. Agi quickly pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, sweetheart. How are you? I hope you're okay in Toronto with your brothers. By the way, what are you doing right now?"

"I'm fine. I'm still on my way to the library. It's raining in here. How about your job, Mom? Aren't today the last day you'll have presentation on neighbor city?"

"Ah, about that. Yes, this is the last day but apparently there is a change in schedule, so I'm afraid I'm going home more lately. Is it alright for you?" her mother asked in concern.

Agi nodded as if her mother stood before her. "No problem, Mom. I can take of myself, though I more worried about Dean and Keith."

"Dean had called me earlier he said they will stay at Nathan's home until the rain is cease. Oh Dear, I have told them to bring umbrella but they didn't do it…"

"Well, let's hope it'll teach them." Agi chuckled.

Her mother sighed on the phone. "I hope so. I think must go now. The presentation about to begin. I'll call you as soon as possible, okay?"

"Okay. Take care Mom."

"Take you too. See you, sweetheart." With that the phone was closing.

Agi put back her phone. What a day.

Decided to move faster, she opened the green umbrella she kept on her left hand and used it as she walked back, this time she half run to her destination.

The rain was getting heavier each second passed and Agi now ran as she protected her face from the water that kept getting on her face. She really needed to reconsider to take railway on her way home.

She too sank on her own thoughts to notice her foot stepped on something and caused her nearly slipped and next thing Agi knew, she fell and hit a wall near her. Her umbrella was apart from her hand.

"Aww! What in the world...!" she shouted as she rubbed her poor, throbbed head. Crap, whoever threw a can; she would murder him for sure! Just in time she looked at the probably- can-thing, ready to cursed it, her face went blank. Not far from her, a thin, silver chain necklace, with a pendant of bright blue crystal laid innocently yet abandoned. The crystal was glowing softly due to light from buildings. She was still for few seconds then she turned around to see if someone dropped it then back at the necklace. But no, the clasp not broken, it even closed. Feeling confused, she reached the necklace and observe it carefully. Her mother worked on a jewel shop and she teaches Agi a lot of things about the jewels. She knew some stuff about the quality of jewels thanks to her mom. From what she could tell, the necklace was being made with high thoroughness. Therefore the shape of the necklace almost perfect. It was beautiful none less. It would be shame if someone loses it.

Then something was occurring. The bright went stronger slightly than before. Agi startled by the sudden strangeness. But it wasn't over yet. Almost in same time with the brightness, she heard a whisper came from nowhere.

"Inveniam te puellae alio ex orbe …"A feminine and mysterious voice echoed around her.

She jumped at the voice then once again turned around if there was someone with her. Others than few walkers and cars there was no one near her. She shivered at the moment. There couldn't be a ghost in the midday, could be? She 100 % confident her ears were perfectly fine. So how she heard the unknown whisper when no one around her? It wasn't helping either since she was in the quiet alley.

Agi grew uneasy then stood up hastily to grab back her fallen umbrella. She took a last glance at the necklace. Now it looked like a normal necklace, no more, no less.

"I… must be imagining it..." Agi muttered under her breath, tried to act at easy. "Yeah, I must be hallucinated. This is a normal necklace. Someone must have dropped it. I must return it if that the case."

How wrong she was.

Bad for her, she doesn't imagining it.

And soon she would regret it as she couldn't escape from her fate anymore.

Out of her thought, the necklace began to glow again and beyond her imagination the bright was covering her in no time. And air moved along and grew faster and circled around her. Agi caught off guard. Her eyes widen in shock and gaped. It was obvious she didn't prepare for the unexpected. Not like this kind of situation at least.

"WHA...!" She about to scream when the bright blinded her immediately left her no choice but to cover her eyes.

It was like eternity for her. She quickly regretted her act for stumbled to the damned thing. Okay, she took back her words. The necklace was not beautiful to her! Who knew a seemingly harmless necklace would have such craziness thing! The owner surely not stole it from pharaoh's grave, did she!

A few seconds passed before the light slowly ceased and ceased together with the wind. Then nothing. In the time she opened her eyes warily and to her surprise the necklace was gone from her hand. She blinked, tried to make sure that her eyes didn't play a trick on her. But no, the necklace really gone from her grasp, disappeared like a mist.

She looked down at around her if in case the necklace was falling only to meet the same result. The necklace was nowhere to be found. Agi frowned in her place. She blinked furiously, tried to digest what had just happened seconds ago.

'What the...? What on earth was just happening in here!'

Agi rotated her head in slight panic.

She then noticed something very weird.

Apparently she stood in the road of big city. A big city similar with Tokyo since it had a twin buildings like in Shinjuku but it had a thick European atmosphere. And it was dark with full moon shone above the dark sky with no stars. If Agi wanted to fell on her knees this was the perfect time to do it, which she preferred not to. Her suspicious increased fast. She began to doubt she still in Toronto or Ontario anymore for this case because she knew well every part of the city where she lived for seventeen years.

'Where am I?' She began to worry. Hurriedly, she closed her green umbrella in shaky hands.

Agi took deep breath few times. "Calm down...Okay, calm down. Don't panic. Panic will do nothing." She calmed herself. "If I get lost…what shall I do?"

She focused hard to thought for a while, not being dragged by hysterical. She the rotated her head with a pair of intense green eyes, calculated.

Her eyes kept searching the next thing she thought she would use as a next clue. Due to the nearest street watch she could find, it was in the middle of night. No wonder it was dark in the outside. This was ridiculous for her. For God's sake, she very sure it was a noon before rain came. The city itself dark, many lamps being turned on inside the buildings but it lacks of peoples. As if this was a dead city although she knew inside the buildings there were many citizens. But none of them came out. Heck, she even didn't find a cat or dog strayed on the road. She didn't believe her own bad luck.

A minute ago she was walking in the middle of rain in Toronto. A second ago she was in freaking quiet alley and now she in the middle of nowhere. Not only that, she even didn't recognized this city at all! This was getting weirder and weirder each second!

"Oh great…Not only It's night, I'm also alone and lost in the unknown city! What will come next!" she yelled in frustrated as she pulled her hair with one of her hand.

She was about to continuing her rant as in same time she heard odd sounds. Agi stopped her rant and turned her attention at the source of the sounds.

"What are those sounds?" she shifted anxiously. Somehow she didn't like those sounds. Agi had heard it before.

Her frown deepened. But it couldn't be. She normally heard it only from the movies. It was impossible to hear those in the middle of the city like this. But she heard it clear from here even the sounds echoed from a distance. There was no mistake. If she was correct then those sounds were the sounds of...

"...Guns." her eyes widen in realization and horror.

Her body became tensed when she found out later as countless guns shoots which echoed in the darkness of night. She so scared until she almost dropped her umbrella and fainted on the spot. Well duh, of course she very scared; she didn't want to interfere with military or some kind of terrorist! She was a civilian, a normal girl none less! What if she got killed? She was about to get out and run away from there. Not before she stopped abruptly as her now deceased grandfather's image flashed in her mind. A memory when he told her to always helped people when they were in trouble. Agi held her breath. Agi now hesitated. She had torn between the two choices. In one side she didn't want to face some kind of crazy terrorist. She didn't want to go there only to be shooting by stray bullets. She still loved her life for God's sake! But in the other hand she couldn't deny her inner voice to look at it. Her worried feelings at the thoughts of there were victims defeated the feeling of scared, she guessed she couldn't just run away. After all, she was a scout and scout supposed to help people by all he or she has. Besides, if they were victims, she wouldn't forgive herself for not helping them.

Agi grimaced. She felt a sudden guilty rushed over her. Finally, at the last moment her fear was being defeated by her humanity.

She inhaled deeply, felt an irony of it.

It can't be helped then.

'Please don't let my mother find out or she'll kill me for sure.' she pleaded heart fully.

Discouraged and readied herself for the worst, Agi quickly ran like a sprinter to reached the source. She went through dirty alleys and roads not bother to remember them. Fastened her feet, she tried to focused at the gun shots she heard earlier. Through the alley and street Agi grew more disturbed as she did not meet a single person on her way. But what disturbed her most was the fact she began to recognize the appearance of the city as if she had been in there before. The gloom, the starless sky, the dark modern city with a medieval air. Agi confident she never been in the city for seventeen years her life.

'This- is- crazy. I can't believe this is my bad day! The worst day ever in my life! Why must me of all people!'

A minute later Agi finally arrived at the end of small alley then stopped abruptly on her track. A far before her, she saw an gloom and dark building which at first glance looked like your historical building, stood in inexplicable elegance between the other buildings, made it out of place and different not mention the huge gap between the unique building and common buildings around it. But what made the biggest difference between this building with the others that It has the aura of royalty. Agi gasped at the sight of this place.

"A...palace?" she muttered in disbelieve.

Yes, no doubt for her, the building in front of her was too luxurious to be called as a historical building. Although it was dark and pretty intimidated, the building was definitely a palace, a place where the royalty family lived. But what catches most of her attention was what happening in the front of the palace.

She witnessed an event she would never forget for years. She would never forget how she met the black haired, dressed in black clothes, and red eyed guy for the first time. She would never forget how he fought alone the whole army, all by himself. She would never forget how the young man fought with his extraordinary power. She would never forget the day she met him was the beginning of her long way to get home and help the certain guy together with his friends to protect perhaps the last crystal in this world, given by Etro, the Goddess of death to humankind.


Yes I knew and aware that Agi is a macho sounded name but believes me, Agi originally was a name for a girl. Agi is an alternate name from Agnes or Agata. The name of Agi came from Hungarian origins which has meaning as 'virtuous, holy'. No, she's not a Mary Sue, I assured you she doesn't has any special powers. Special ability yes, but not 'that' kind of ability including magic, telekinetic, teleport, etc. She was a scout but you see, she has other job which will risk her life if she not do it right. No. Not assassin. I guess you had already knew since the tittle was very obvious. :3

Inveniam te puellae alio ex orbe ... Well to be honest, I can't speak Latin so I typing in the Google translate and this one that what was out. It was meaning 'I have found you, the girl from another world' or so it told. T_T' I wish I can speak Latin (I'm Indonesian).

I think that was enough for now. Again, I'm waiting for the reviews. See you soon!
