Pre-Story Authors Notes

I decided early on I wanted to use the Japanese names for the Sphere managers (quite frankly, Lucifer > Luther), but that turned into, "but if I use the Japanese name for that, I should use the Japanese name for this too..." I've left Albel's name Albel because you can romanize it as "Arberu" which might as damn well be Albel. For a full list of the English/Japanese version changes, check GameFAQ's - one of the guides there has a comprehensive list of cities, spells, and skills.

I am trying to make this realistic for the point in the game you go to 4D space at. The Elicooran I chose for the fic is Albel, and I also left out Peppita. I am sure there could have been some wise cracks about Peppita looking ganguro, but, meh. Albel I figured would be the most easiest to work with.

Part the Oneth: In Which There Is Foreshadowing

Citizens in Japan were watching in awe. By the Tokyo Tower was a blue haired teenager emitting light and symbols from his body. Standing a good distance away was a gathering of certain persons who MIGHT be named Sophia, Maria, Albel, Beelzebub, Belial, Brea, and Azazel.

"What's happening!" asked Sophia. She was dressed in a Goth Loli outfit.

"It's Fate!" yelled Maria. She was dressed in a fancy kimono with sequins.

Albel took a bite out of a bell pepper and muttered something that sounded like "maggot."

"He was watching Naruto! He thought the fillers ended this week, but then when the new episode aired, it was another filler!" responded Brea.

"...so he's using his powers of destruction... because there was another Naruto filler?" asked Beelzebub.

"Uhm... basically..."

"...what the fuck? Belial, can't you... move him?"

"..." Belial just stood there. "..."

Despite the fact that mankind was probably going to be ending all because of Naruto fillers, there was a certain level of calmness in all. Except Beelzebub. He was always pissed about something. Maria took this time to reflect in the irony of their actions: In an effort to try to save the Eternal Sphere, they were invading another land and possibly about to destroy it.

"Well, if I was watching Naruto," began Azazel, "and I found out there was another god damn filler after half a year of filler, and I had an ability called 'Destruction', I would blow this god damn planet too." He pushed his glasses on his nose.

"I see you all have excellent reasons for bringing about say THE END OF MANKIND!" screamed Beelzebub.

There was a loud honking noise coming from behind. Maria, Albel, Sophia, Brea, Azazel, Beelzebub and Belial all turned around. A Trueno car was speeding towards them, followed by a Levin.

"What the hell..." said Azazel. "OH, shit, you guys, it's Initial D racers, GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

The group scattered and got out of the way as the car sped towards them. The Trueno did some kind of magical awesome turn and came to a screeching stop right next to Maria. To their surprise, Cliff popped out of the car. The Levin proceeded to drive past the Trueno, not noticing it had turned around and stopped, and promptly crashed into a near by building.

"Hey guys!" said Cliff. He flexed his muscles and patted his car.

"Cliff... what the..."

"Look who I picked up on my way over!" said Cliff. Out of the passenger door of his car, a homely looking blonde-haired man got out. His bangs were messy and all around his face, and he was holding a skewer of yakitori in his right hand, and a package in his left hand.

"Hey..." said Azazel.

"...that's..." muttered Maria.

"LUCIFER!" screamed Beelzebub. "YOU WOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THESE PEOPLE AND NOW THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR WORLD! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOUR FAULT!"

"Bitch, please," moaned Lucifer. He threw his yakitori skewer at Beelzebub's direction.

"Aaaaahh" Beelzebub screamed bloody murder as the small wooden skewer flew towards him. After it hit him, he dropped to the ground into a fetal position and started crying.

"Yeah yeah kids... don't worry. CREATOR-SAMA is here to make everything better..." Lucifer yawned. Then spent a good five minutes trying to push his pretty boy bangs out of his face. He gave up and unwrapped the package he has carrying, and threw the paper into the recycling bin. You see, even in times of crisis, the Japanese just had to recycle.

"Okay guys, I'm going in..." began Lucifer. "I might not make it out alive, given how absurd the Narutards are these days."

"Good luck, sir," said Azazel. He saluted the Owner with the most stern, military-esque face he could come up with.

Belial, unable to think of how to salute, shot his rocket launcher at a building in approval. Beelzebub just sat on the ground and cried. Lucifer saluted back then started approaching Fate. The path between where everyone was standing and Fate and the Tokyo Tower was probably a distance of 10 feet at most, but the slow, badass, awesome, walk Lucifer did made it seem like it was 500 feet away. If this was DragonBallZ, it'd take him 50 episodes to reach Fate!

"What's in that package that could possibly make Fate stop?" asked Sophia.

"You'll see," said Cliff. He nodded his head with a type of confidence that, well, only Cliff could have.

Fate was radiating with the Symbology markings... The Tokyo Tower was continuing to glow blue... Albel took a bite out a bell pepper dramatically... The fate of the world now rested in whatever Lucifer had in that package...

But that's jumping a little too far ahead. Let's back up.
