Rabanastre
5 years after the death of Vayne Solidor
Ashe awoke to a humming noise she looked around to the sky to see a glowing light. She ran out to her balcony and saw it was the Sun Cryst. It just hung there, suspended. Ashe looked at it and then saw another glow out of her perifrial vision. Another glowing object traveled to the Sun-Cryst. Then another from the opposite direction. Then two more. There were four glowing stones traveling form the North,South,East and West of the world. They clashed with the Sun – Cryst making it even bigger. Then from an unknown part of the city a ray of dark light collided with the Sun-Cryst. It shattered and eight pieces hung in the air in a perfect circle. They glowed, and then eight beams of light intersected with eachother and a vortex opened up. Ashe ran downstairs and put on her formal clothes. She made her way to the hangar of her personal ariship and airbikes. She put one into action and sped down the streets of Rabanastre.
She arrived at the military hangar that overlooked the skies of Rabanaster. In the hangar sat the pride of the new Dalmascan – Archadian military, the Alexander. She rushed onto the huge airship traversing it's passages and narroly avoiding the crewmembers. She came to the bridge where Judgemagister Zaragabath sat in his chair giving orders. He turned just in time so see the Queen. "Ah your magesty what brings you to the Alexander so late?" "No formalities, just get the Alexander up and running, I want the whole fleet mobilized within the hour, also... she hesitated, call my companions. Zargabaath nodded and gave the order, Ashe watched as men went to their stations and the whole fleet was ready to move out. She heard a smirk comment as both Balthier and Fran walked aboard. Then comments of wonder as Vann and Penelo came on and Vann kicked the pilot out of his seat. He started up the engines and smirked at Ashe. The Alexnader along with the 12th Fleet entered the Vortex little did they know that what they would find would be even more strange.She turned to Zargabaath, "Did you send the message to Larsa?" "Yes, Lady Ashe." "Good, then may the gods be with us."

Sean was doing push ups and at the same time he was playing Final Fantasy 12. He was killing the Undying and was doing pretty good. Then he heard a rumbling and a huge hole opened in the sky and the Alexander came flying out. Sean who was observing form the window dropped the controler in surprise and ran outside. He got out the door in time to see an Airbike drop out of the sky and land right in front of him. Off stepped two people, Balthier and Fran. Balthier immeditly saw Sean and drew his gun, Fran her bow. Balthier shot at Sean just missing him, Sean ran into the house knowing that the Viera wouldn't miss. He ran upstairs to his room and looked around for something to protect himself. He saw his replica of the Treaty Blade his dad had bought him for Christmas and took it off the wall. It was made of metal so he hoped it would work. He heard as they kicked down his door and entered his house. He ran down the stairs with the Treaty Blade in a rushing stance postion. He swung it over head just in time to be caught by a spearhead. He looked tough his left to see Vann. He retreated to a hallway ducking and parrying Vanns blows. Sean had watched a few Star Wars movies and learned the basic jist of sword fighting. But fighting with a huge blade under these condituons was very ridiculos. He looked for some way to get an advantage ducking under a stab by Vann. He saw a mythril blade hanging off Vanns belt. He grabbed the sheath and kicked Vann in the stomach giving him enough time to drop the fake blade and unsheath the real one.
He felt better having a sword that didn't take all hi muscle power to swing in his hands. He ducked under another blow and then did an uppercut disarming Vann. He caught the spear out of the air and held it to Vann's neck, but then he heard a whizzing sound as arrows came flying at him, he ran out the back door fully knowing that Fran was right on his tail, and that he couldn't beat her. He ran and jumped over a pool in someones yard. He climbed two fences and then ran down another road only to run right into the viera's chest. She knocked him out the last thing he saw was he picking him up and bringing him to a big door.
