Author's Note: This is my first Fanfic, so don't blame me if it's bad... But anyway, This is a re-telling of the Story of Final Fantasy III. But with some twists. (The NES one, not SNES's remake of Final Fantasy VI.)

Final Fantasy III: The Quest of Light

A Black Mage, with his friend, Monk, were exploring Altar Cave. When suddenly...

Both: AAAAAAHHHH!

Monk: Aw, man! We fell down a pit! Will we even get back up safely?

Black Mage: (Spots incoming monsters) The monsters say... No.

Monk: Monsters? Where?

Black Mage: Behind you! Be on your guard!

Monk: (Heroic Tone)Oh, sneak attack huh? Mage, Prepare yourself for battle!

The battle between the enemies and the heroes began... Monk started things off by charging at the enemies and just one punch was all it took for the Goblin to run away. Just one was left! The other goblin took a shot at trying to stab Monk with his Dagger, But Black Mage shot a quick Ice spell and he fell to the ground. The Heroes win! After the battle they continued walking and spotted two other warriors also battling, but these enemies looked tougher! Black Mage and Monk walk closer and take a look. It was a Fighter and a Red Mage! They looked like they were in trouble! Black Mage and Monk defeated the weakened enemies and tried to help the wounded Fighter and Red Mage.

Monk: You guys okay?

Fighter: Yes... but, can you help us out?

Monk: Sure! What do ya' need?

Black Mage: Just look at them! Can't you see they're hurt?

Red Mage: No, It's okay... We just need a little energy to keep going.

Monk: Come with us! We'll find a way to help you! And we can defeat enemies faster!

Fighter and Red Mage: Thank you.

The two teams of two joined to make four. In search of way to heal their wounds, And to get out of the cave. As they were exploring the cave, Monk had a question in mind...

Monk: I forgot to ask, What are your names anyway?

Fighter: Oh, well my name is Alf!

Red Mage: And my name is Gale!

Monk: And mine's Nero!

Alf: (Points at Black Mage) What's his name?

Nero: Uh... No one really knows...

Gale: He doesn't have a name? Or he doesn't want to tell anybody?

Nero: ... I-I don't know...

Alf and Gale make a confused face and they move on. Alf and Gale wondering what Black Mage's name is. Battling enemies, finding treasures, growing stronger... No matter what they were doing, They couldn't stop thinking about it. This made Nero curious to. They all stare at Black Mage with that, "Come on, Tell us!" Face.

Black Mage: What?

They continue to stare.

Black Mage: My name?

They nod slowly.

Black Mage: Ugh... (Looks around) Um... LOOK! A SHINY ROCK! (Runs away)

Gale: He'll tell us soon... I know he will...

The ground shakes.

Alf: What happened?

Nero: Look over there! A secret passage opened!

Gale: NO! We have to get the treasure first!

Alf: Where is this, "Treasure" anyway?

Gale: (Points south)

There were 2 treasure chests sitting, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT in front of them.

Nero: How did I not catch that?

The chests contained 2 Potions.

Nero: Hey! With these you can heal your wounds from earlier!

Alf and Gale drink the potions.

Alf: Ah, MUCH better. Wait, Black Mage has been gone a while.

Gale: When did he run off anyway?

Alf: When he said, "Um... LOOK! A SHINY ROCK!" and then he ran off.

Black Mage comes back.

Nero: You came back! We were just talking about you.

Black Mage: You know that, "Shiny Rock" I saw?

Alf, Gale, and Nero nod.

Black Mage: Well, I touched it, and that secret passage opened.

Nero: Now this is getting exciting! Let's go!

The Heroes continued through the cave.

Alf: Look! More treasure!

Everyone except Black Mage runs to get them. After a little while they come back.

Black Mage: So what'd you get?

Nero: I found a Potion...

Gale: I also found a Potion...

Alf: What is this?

Everyone turns to look at Alf.

All: It's... It's a... Hmm...

The Heroes were stumped trying to find out what Alf got in the treasure.

Gale: Eh... We'll find out later.

The Heroes continue walking through the cave, Everyone thinking about what Alf found. After exploring They come across a lake/pond thingy.

Nero: What's this Spring?

Alf: I don't know, but let's try drinking it!

For some reason, they all drink from the mysterious spring that they have just found.

Shortly after, they found out that it's a magic spring that heals your wounds, Alf and Gale, now angry because they wasted potions, found another potion just north of the spring. But Gale is still angry because they used two. Our heroes continue exploring

the cave while Nero is complaining about the cave being endless, But they found a beautiful looking room filled with crystals!

All except Black Mage: Woooooooooooowwww...

Gale: Look, A crystal!

Black Mage: I'll get it.

Black Mage walks to the crystal, but this evil looking fog surrounded him and the party as well. The fog took the shape of a turtle and looked angry at the four. The giant turtle attacked Black Mage, Then Alf tried to slice the turtle with his sword, But he quickly retreated into his shell. Nero thought of a plan: I'll get behind him and grab his tail. Then he will come out by surprise, Then Alf and Gale quickly attack. Black Mage thought to himself, "What about me?" as he watched the plan in action. The plan was a success! But the monster wasn't finished yet! He quickly bit Nero in the arm, And he had to stay back for a bit. Black Mage was going to use a potion on Nero, But the turtle quickly head butted him across the room before he had a chance to use it. Alf and Gale Teamed up to do a big slash, but the attack seemed to do nothing. After they finished their attack The turtle slapped Gale with his tail. Alf was the only one left. As things looked bad for the Heroes, Alf remembered: The mysterious item from the treasure chest. Alf held it up into the air as high as he could, and, what seemed like magic, the turtle was frozen in a block of ice. The Heroes have survived! After the close call battle, Alf heals the others with the potions they had found earlier.

Nero: Woah, How'd you do that!

Alf: (Panting) I... Don't... Know...

Gale: Now let's get that crystal!

Black Mage touched the crystal. A voice speaks from the crystal...

Crystal: You have been chosen... As the Light Warriors...

Alf: Light Warriors?

Crystal: Take the last of the light... The hope... Inside me...

Nero: Light? Hope?

Crystal: Everything in this world is out of balance... The world needs you... Save the world... Light Warriors!

The room lights up as the Heroes felt even stronger that they were before.

Black Mage: (Noticing an exit behind the crystal) Hey, Let's use that warp to get out.

Nero: Yes! We're finally getting out of this cave!

So how was that? Needs to be longer? Needs to be written differently... Anything! Just tell me in a review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
