This is my rewritten version of Marche's vision- one of my older stories.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything in the story, 'cept Noble. Even the names belong to the game.. XD
Marche woke up, to see the morning sun gleam in through the inn's window. The Bangaa, Nu Mou, and Moogle adjacent from him stirred slightly as well. The boys room had fully awakened now. Marche decided to head downstairs.
Emet the Bangaa, Silac the Nu Mou, and Montblanc the Moogle had all awaken as well. Emet brushed his teeth, Silac changed into his robes, and Montblanc, half asleep, carried a pillow to the side of his head and went to the first floor of the inn.
"Hey Mont." Marche greeted. "Vili and Sabrina awake yet?"
Vili was the leader of the "Brown Rabbits" who had challenged Clan Nutsy and lost. Hence, she joined them. Sabrina was one of Marche's greatest fighters. She was strong and determined, never giving in.
"No kupo.." Montblanc sighed. "Still sawing.. Still sawi... logs..." Montblanc fell right back to sleep.
The Pub master stumbled over to Marche, who gave him a small paper.
"What 's this?" Marche asked
"Sign up sheet. Put your clanners and their profession down. They'll need it to enter the clan wars."
So Marche wrote down the names of his fellow clanners
Marche-Paladin/Fighter
Montblanc-Black Mage/Time Mage
Emet-Templar/Defender
Silac-Alchemist/Sage
Vili-Sniper/Archer
Sabrina-Assassin/Fencer
"There we go." Said Marche. "We have a new recruit joining today-Can I put him down?"
"Sure." The Pub master said. "But you're only allowed six per battle. He'll have to be your substitute. Say, what's his name and race?"
"No idea. He's a mercenary, who just recently quit Clan Ritz. His name is Noble." Marche responded.
Vili came down stairs, and sat across from Marche. "Noble? I know him." She said
"You do!?" Marche said astounded. What's he like?
"Strong. I'll give em that. He's a furry critter too."
"A male Viera?" as soon as Marche said this, Vili pulled a classic-anime hammer out of nowhere and hit him.
"NO DUMBASS!" she said in a fit of rage.
"Tssk Tssk. Ssuch Language." Emet said, waddling down the stairs.
"Shut up before I hit you too boy." -.-'
"Uhhh..." O.O' Emet was scared now...
"Wassup?" Sabrina murmered. She knew Vili was having one of those days...
"The sky." Silac said behind her.
-Later-
"Noble should have been here by now Kupo!" Montblanc yelled.
"... He aint sshowing iss he..?" Emet hissed
"So, are you Clan Nazi?" a random voice said
"We're clan Nutssy damnsssit!" Emet slurred, only to see the new recruit.
"No need for harsh words..." The voice said. "Anyway... I be Noble."
"So.. What are you?" Marche asked
"..." Noble was irked now
"He's a Lupe. Not many of them left in Ivalice." Vili responded
"Lupes? Aren't they like wolves?" Marche asked
"They are Bipedal wolves." Silac answered.
"....So, what's your profession of choice?" Sabrina asked.
"Lupes use bladed weapons as most know..." Noble took out a Two-sided staff behind him. "We aren't in the likes of magic much, but we can out do the lizard."
"What?" Marche asked
"He means, Lupes are adept at using swords and such. But their not so hot at magic, but can still do more than a Bangaa can." Silac snickered, looking at Emet.
"You want ssome of this bit___..." Emet was going to swear, but Montblanc stopped him.
"Well... I guess you could call me a Stavesman, or whatever.. I care not." Noble responded, scratching his left ear with his left foot.
"Evolution has not been kind to him..." Marche mused.
"Well, I am Sabrina." The assassin said bowing.
"No need to bow." Noble said, kneeling down to Sabrina, causing her to blush slightly.
"I am Vili."
"Call me Montblanc Kupo!"
"Call me a doctor..." Emet said, looking angrily at Montblanc's immaturity.
"I am known as Silac."
"I'm Marche."
"Well now that row-call's over, I guess I'll buy the clan's dinner." Said Montblanc
"Nah, let me do it. I owe it to you guys, plus I just received a big paycheck earlier." Noble asked. "Now, what do you all want?"
-later-
Noble sat atop the inn's roof. He kept thinking of what Ritz had told him that morning..
+-+ Flashback!!!!1111!
Noble was sitting on a rock beside Shara while Ritz gave orders.
"Noble, you are going to pose as a member of Clan Nutsy. Marche is intent on destroying these "crystals" crystals which will tear this world apart, so I need you to sabotage them, and make sure they don't do it." Ritz asked
"I do not wish to harm the innocent." Noble asked. "May I, just steer them in a bad direction?"
"I understand your concern Noble, but if those crystals are destroyed, we'll all disappear!" Shara said
"You're fooling me!" Noble half accused, half asked
"No. We are not. Do you see now Noble?" Ritz asked patiently
"I see miss Ritz... They shan't make it to the first crystal..."
(End flashback... That was fun wasn't it?)
Noble gazed at the stars. Would he really have to hurt them? He didn't care after a while, but seeing Sabrina changed his mind. So innocent, so unsuspecting.. The way she had kneeled to him.. Noble had never liked conflict, which was why he had been abandoned as a pup.. He was too "weak" for his tribe...
Suddenly Sabrina jumped onto the roof along side him. She sat down next to Noble and smiled.
"I come up here every night too." She said
"Umm.. Yeah, it's almost full moon. Reeeeally clear.." Noble said. "Damn my shyness around wemon!" he thought. Noble mused for a minute. Why did he have to be so shy, why was he such a recluse?
"You seemed a little edgy this afternoon." Sabrina asked. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I am perfectly fine." Noble said, ruffling his dark crimson fur.
"You don't have to lie.- Don't get me wrong, I don't care, I just don't want you to mess up tomorrow."
"I'm a substitute, and I'd lose anyway."
"Really? I heard you were good. Real good."
"I'm not good. Everyone else just sucks." He said with a grunt, making Sabrina laugh.
"Well... Later." Sabrina said, and jetted off.
"Nice hair that one has." Noble smiled, and looked up at the stars. "Can't let that disappearing happen." Noble suddenly noticed a small blanket a few feet away from him. Sabrina had left it, probably so he wouldn't freeze. "Heh, what do you know, I just scored!" Noble laughed to himself.
Noble met with the rest of the clan at breakfast. Marche exclaimed today they would be facing Clan Dip, the weakest clan in all Ivalice- next to clan Shalo.
"Okay, so Noble, I'd like to see you fight. So you're in. Any volunteers?" Marche asked
No one raised their hands, and they were chatting with each other- they didn't trust Noble yet.
"I'll go- so he won't screw up." Sabrina asked
"I sense a pure aura around Noble- I'll assist him." Silac offered
"I'll need a sstretch. Let me go too." Emet said
"Then it's settled kupo! Good luck!" Montblanc yelled.
