Hey guys, I'm back! While I was playing the ideas came rushing into my head. About the title, if a better idea comes in mind I will change it.

I want to take a moment to apologize to Devil Hunter Kira F Sparda, for totally forgot to credit him, for the describe the Army of One. I forgot because I finished the chapter really late (I know, a lame excuse). Anyhow, I hope you (Devil Hunter Kira F Sparda) are not mad at me, once again I'm sorry.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FINAL FANTASY

Alright here it begins.

Snow, Sazh and Hope walked to the crystal pillar. They saw Serah and Dajh walking towards them. Snow run towards her and grabbed her and lift her. He was so happy to see her like she was gone for a long time.

"Snow, I happy to see that you're alright." said Serah. She noticed that her sister is not with them. "Where is Lightning?" she asked with concern. Hope walked up to her and handed her knife, Serah took it from her hand and then turned to Snow.

"I'm sorry Serah. Lightning is in the crystal now, holding Cocoon with Fang and Vanille."

"But, this can't be." said Serah in disbelieve. "She was here!" then she turned to see that the village was no more. "What happened to the village?"

"What village?" Snow asked confused.

"What do you mean 'what village'?" Serah asked her husband very disturbed. "The New Bodhum."

"Serah, we haven't rebuild Bodhum." Snow told her calmly.

"But this can't be!" Serah said even more confused and disturbed.

"Lightning was here. She said 'Congrats', we rebuilt Bodhum, Natilus and Palumpolum, we had our wedding, Lightning was my Maid of Honor and met some one named Cloud and she liked him and then this man named Sephiroth came and started to killing people left and right and set the town on fire and then Lightning told you her real name and then..." she stopped calling her memories and started to cry.

Snow came behind and put his arms on her shoulders. "Serah..." he whispered in her ear.

Hope wandered what Serah was talking about, from where did she came up with this kind of stories and why does the names Cloud and Sephiroth sound so familiar. And more importantly where is Lightning?

"Divine Etro. Go peacefully to your rest. I will stand guard over your legacy." Lightning said knelling before a white throne. She stood up and went outside Etro's temple. She was wearing a white armor. She watched over the terrain. It looked like an ancient town near the sea. It was silence. "This realm is awash with sadness. Life and death lose all meaning under the rolling waves of chaos. Valhalla. The currents of time did not touch it's shores. In this world of lost moments realm I begin my life anew."

On the beach was a man wearing purple armor and a purple sword with an eye near the handle on his back . His hair and his eyes were also purple. He was in the water. In his hands was a girl with gray long hair. He put the girl into the water and she began to glow.

"This eternity-it was never your desire. Is that not so Yeul?" he talked to the girl and she started to vanish. Suddenly his expression turned to anger. Then creatures rose from the water and he turned to the temple of Etro, looking at Lightning.

Suddenly the tension began to rise.

"Warrior goddess. Now we cross swords!" he said pulling out his sword. The eye opened and the sword started to glow. Lightning drew her sword sword as well and creatures appeared at her side.

It was a monster vs monster battle. The Twin Sisters attacked the man. sent a sock wave at them.

"Lose yourself in battle and rejoice." he said sending a sock wave at them.

The Twin Sisters froze him and when Nix tried to finish him by breaking the ice, the man grabbed her by the mouth.

"Embrace the terror." he said and slammed her into her sister.

He turned to see Lightning, riding Odin

"Husk of the wandering comet... I summon thee!" he said and he conjures a barrage of comets to counterattack.

Lightning continued her advancement and went above him.

"Caius Ballad!" Lightning cried as she flew through the air towards the dark man.

His reply was slashing his blade horizontally, unleashing a wave of energy up to meet her. Lightning had seen it before. Capable of cutting through solid rock, there was little chance she would be able to survive such an attack much less withstand it. Her mind raced to think of what to do when an idea hit her. Using the shield given to her by Etro herself, Lightning deflected the energy beam skyward into Caius' summon portal, shattering it to fine pieces. The sky darkened as the purple energy dissipated, the giant boulders Caius had been keeping afloat moments before now dropping out of the sky.

"Impressive." Caius said as Lightning landed behind him.

Was he taunting her? Lightning didn't care either way.

"Save it." She replied bitterly just before turning around and striking with her gunblade.

Caius responded just as quickly and locked swords with her. The blow caused the air to crack as their strength and skill were evenly matched.

The mountain sized rock at their feet cracked in half as it continued it's free fall and soon Lightning found herself battling Caius amide boulders tumbling like pebbles, their strikes the only other sound besides the growl of clashing rocks. Caius brought his blade down for her head, but Lightning blocked with her shield and stabbed back. Caius leaned to the side and avoided the gunblade's razor edge and struck back once more. Lightning leaped clear over his head, his blade meeting only stone. She then took her chance to kill him, aiming for the neck. Caius surprised her by grabbing the blade and stopping it with his hand.

"Damn you." She hissed.

Caius gave her a coy smirk, forcing the blade away from his face and down until it was above his chest, inches from his heart. "Enough of this, warrior goddess. Let's end it."

Farron's eyes went wide in alarm as a red light began to glow at the exact location of Caius' heart. It throbbed rhythmically, proving that whatever it was, it was alive.

"That glow...!" She asked, pulling away from her opponent.

Caius appeared to get suddenly angry and growled, "Cast your shadow over all, Wings of Night!"

His sword, Ragnarok, light up with blue fire, the eye near its hilt exploding with purple light that momentarily blinded Lightning. Dark smoke appeared out of the air and swirled violently around Caius like a storm, concealing him in a dense shroud that Lightning could not see past. The wind grew stronger, pushing her, harder and harder until it blew her away and unto another giant falling boulder. The dark smoke cleared, and Lighting felt her resolve slip for a moment as what stood before her would no doubt send seasoned fighters fleeing in terror.

Chaos Bahamut roared with enough power to shake Lightning's armor before flapping his mighty wings and dashed forward to attack, eyes red like a demon. Lightning knew better than to stand and take it so she leapt out of harm's way as Chaos Bahamut reduced the spot where she had been standing to nothing. She soared high up in the air, spun around and readied her sword to counterattack. But Bahamut had already caught up with her and slashed at her with his massive claws. Lightning met him with her blade and for a moment she held him there.

The second blow came from his right claw which she didn't see until it had already struck and Lightning was sent flying far over the city of Valhalla deep in mental darkness, the whole world going white.

White.

That all there was. Just a vast expanse of white space and Lightning was falling through it without any sight or sound, entirely alone.

"He is a tough one, isn't he?" came a voice.

"Cloud?" She asked. She couldn't see him, but his voice was unmistakable. "What are you doing here?"

"I seem to remember a time when you were able to handle much tougher guys than this showoff. What's happened to you?" Cloud's voice was gentle, lightly teasing her predicament as though she had merely slipped and fell to the floor. "Don't worry, I'm here." he said.

Lightning opened her eyes and saw before her a dark figure. He had spiky hair and in his hands was a very large sword. He lunged at the dragon. Chaos Bahamut tried to kill him with his claws but had no success. The figure jumped over the beast and with his blade over his head he brought it down on Bahamut's head. The beast roared in pain and anger as it fell making the dust to rise. The monster flew to the sky charging for a devastating blow. The man jumped after Chaos Bahamut. It managed to throw the flare and it hit the figure in full size but he came out of it and thrust his sword on it's back and with it he carved the monster's back. Bahamut fell while in roared in pain and purple flares surrounded it. The figure landed on a cliff. He looked at Lightning and then turned and disappeared. Lightning put her head at her heart and looked up to the spot where that man was standing.

"Could it be..." she said like she discovered something that was long a light caught Lightning's attention. "Etro's gate?"

From the sky a man was falling. He was wearing a black V-neck shirt designed with tribal patterns and a pair of angel wings on the back, along with a simple pendant. On his left arm is a metal bracer, while his right arm is wrapped with cord and he wears a ring on his right hand. He also wore large blue sirval-style pants with decorated hems, and low-cut sandal-like leather shoes. A green pouch and hunter's knife are attached to his belt in the back, which itself is adorned with small lavender ties made of cloth. Under the angel wings on the back of Noel's shirt and on his dagger, there are lines of Etro script.

"Of course. The one from the vision." Lightning said to herself. "I know your name. Noel Kreiss."

Lightning summoned Bahamut and went to save him. Suddenly Chaos Bahamut appeared and went after her. She saves Noel just in time and started the aerial battle with Chaos Bahamut. After Lightning emerged victorious they on Etro's temple.

"How do we fight him?" Noel asked

"This is not your battle. There's something else I need you to do." Lightning said to him

"What?"

"Bring my sister to me. Her name is Serah."

"Okay."

"You'll need to use the portal. Your time-gazing friend should have told you how it works."

"That's a gate...? But, why me?" he asked confused.

"Because you're the only one who can. You crossed the Void and made it to Valhalla. You can find Serah and together you can change the future."

"Wait... I can the future can be changed?" Noel asked and in his voice was a spark of hope.

"Yes." replied Lightning. From her hand a light appeared and then the light turned into a moogle. The moogle changed into a crossbow. "A good luck charm. Give him to Serah."

"Right. You got it. I'll track her down."

Suddenly Caius appeared.

"Enjoying your little chat?" he said.

"Caius!" Noel was surprised to see him. Lightning gave a questioned looked. She wandered how Noel knew Caius.

Caius summons a large meteor.

"Get to the gate. I counting on you!" Lightning said to Noel

"Okay!" he said

Caius transformed into Chaos Bahamut and charged at them.

"Go!" Lightning ordered Noel.

He went to the gate and Lightning covered him by summoning Odin. Odin threw her to the meteor.

"Lightning." came a soft woman voice.

And then a bright light appeared and everything returned to the way it was before the battle. Lightning appeared at Etro's throne.

"Etro, what's going on?" she asked the goddess.

"I don't know. There are some anomalies in the timeline. I managed to save some warriors from being devoured by the Void and brought them here to assist you." she said.

Then some lights appeared.

That's it folks, that's the first chapter. In the next one I'm going to show some of my surprises. Please review.
