Disclaimer/Author's Note: I do not own any of the Final Fantasy characters. They are all copyrighted to Squaresoft. ^_^; .. this is one of my first FF fanfics.. I know it's kind of short at first, but I hope that it will be getting longer later on in time.

Something you should know: This fanfic is sort of in a separate time period.. FFs 8-10 have already happened. ^_^ Let's begin! Please review this.. I could really benefit from it and make it into a good fanfic if I get some feedback. Thanks! ^_^

Squall opened his eyes and blinked a few times. It was dark outside. Outside...? How did he end up outside?

He looked around on both sides, but no one was there. He was alone...one of his worst fears. He stood up and tried to determine where he was. The world he once knew was no longer. Now he stood in a world very different from his own.

'I might as well take a look around this place,' he thought to himself.

After awhile he came to a quiet town. Or at least it was before he got there. As he headed towards the inn, a loud explosion suddenly was heard. Confused, he decided to head towards the explosion. It was then he spotted a group of people in uniforms bearing swords.

"Hey you!" he shouted to a tall man in the group. "You are of the Galbadian army, correct?"

The man had a puzzled look about him.

"Eh? What's Galbadia? Sorry son, but this is Shinra. Now if you don't mind, we need to head for the Mako Reactor. AVALANCHE managed to blow it up again," he said, and then he turned, heading towards the explosion.

Squall blinked again, even more confused than before. Shinra? Avalanche? Mako Reactor? What was the meaning of those words, and where was he now?
