Hi, this is my first fanfic about Final Fantasy especially xIII and most of all, it was the first time for me to create fanfic for something that hasn't been released yet, anyway, I found it interesting yet somehow disappointing about this game. Because Noctis and Lightning was two different version games T_T I thought it would be really awesome if they were made in one game. Anyway, this was a crossover fic, enjoy reading it, guyz x)

Don't mind if you want to ask something that you don't understand.

Warning :

Before reading, there are some warnings that I need to give.

1. Since the game hasn't released yet, I don't know if Lightning and Noctis in my fanfic will be OOC or not

2. I may be put some other characters from the other Final Fantasy. Maybe I'll add some of my OC too, though I haven't made one x)

3. I know nothing about the Crystals (What is it? Or what is its power?), so I made my own mind about the crystal.

4. I don't know if Fabula was a she/he or if Fabula was really a person or just a name, but in this fic I made Fabula as a she and name of person.

5. My grammar is sucks and my vocabs are limited, so please just enjoy it, 'kay? X)

Disclaimer : I don't own any of final fantasy

Now, let's go to the story, shall we ? ^^

Summary : She was once the 'legend' knight, yet now she is just an ordinary blacksmith. He was the prince, yet disguised himself as her assistant. But one day, the secret will be revealed and the journey of the crystals will begin.

Hikari no Nocturne

Chapter 1 First Meeting

Fabula Kingdom, it was located far from the other Kingdom, it was living in its ivory tower. The citizens were really kind and since it wasn't a big Kingdom, the citizens knew each other and even the King and the Queen like to visit their people. It was so peaceful, surrounded by forest and beautiful view.

One day, after the 47th celebration of that Kingdom, a great war began. A war between the angel and the devil who were fighting over the Last Crystal, cost many lives. Every Kingdom must join that war, to obtain the power of the Crystals. Fabula Kingdom was one of those which got the big affect from that war though Fabula Kingdom actually tried to avoid that war. The people that were survived from that war were those who had been evacuated to a safer place. Mountainwas the only place that far from that war and was the safest place. The war itself only took 1 year, but the damages after it was destructive. It took another 2 year for all Kingdoms to recover

1 year had passed after that war. The people, who had been evacuated and now continued their life thought that nobody could escape from that war, everyone who had joined that war were all dead. The Crystal itself was divided into 4 by 'God' and was located in 4 Kingdom. Nobody expected to hear the real reason behind the war, the chronicle of the war and the time when the 4 divided Crystals joined into one again.

Fabula Kingdom, 3 year later after the Great War…

"Tifa." A blonde man, who was reading a newspaper and sitting on the couch, was calling the woman in front of him, who was standing in front of the table and preparing the tea. The woman, though her ages were old, but her face still young. Her long black hair just hung loosely behind her back. She turned to the blonde man and asked, "What's wrong Cloud?"

Cloud, the blonde man shook his head and put the newspaper on the table beside him. "Nothing."

Tifa just giggled and continued pouring the tea. She then brought the tea to him and he took one. He stared into the glass and thinking. His mind was into somewhere and murmuring about something, "3 years had passed already." Though it was not loud, but it was clearly enough to be heard by Tifa.

"Yeah, times sure quickly passed by, hah?" She smiled to him. She put her glass of tea on the table and sat beside him.

"I wonder if she will be alright." He murmured once more before drinking the tea.

"I'm sure she will be alright, after all she is our daughter right? And anyway, why don't you just drink the tea and then help me to clean the kitchen?" giggled Tifa.

"Yeah, you're right." Cloud smiled softly before finished drinking his glass of tea.

A young woman was wandering around. She was wearing a war outfit (AN: She was wearing the clothes that she wore, I just don't know how to describe it x)). She was looking everywhere and found out she was in a chamber place, a dark and a small room. She tried to see for light, but she couldn't find any of it. She walked slowly until suddenly the candle was lighted. Now there were many lights, so, she could see her surrounding. She found out a group of people were standing surrounding her. All the people were all wearing dark suits and something to cover their head. She couldn't see the faces. Slowly she counted one by one.

'1,2,3,…,7, there were seven of them.' She thought in her mind.

"Lightning." One from the group, who was just standing in front of her, started to speak to her.

"Who are you?" asked Lightning, the young woman.

"We called ourselves as'Ratroit'."

"The usual question, what do you want from me?" Lightning shouted and tried to act brave though she was somehow trembling and scared.

"Tsck, you still can make some jokes." giggled the person beside the one who first started to talk.

"Well, if that's so, so please answer my question."

"We want you to join us." The first person, who started to speak, said again and offered his hand to Lightning.

"And my reward?" She crossed her hands in front of her chest.

"Well, we will give you the power of the Crystals."

"So now, we are talking about the Crystals, aren't we?" asked Lightning again.

"Of course we are, so what's your answer?" The first person continued again, still offering the hand.

"No." She stated it bluntly, coldly and clearly. She put her hands on her hips and glaring to each of them. She was trying to remember about their aura.

"Excuse me?"

"I said no. Are you deaf or something? I don't want to join anything that can make me connected to the Crystalsagain."

"If you say so. But still, we will still give you 1 week to think about it and remember only 1 week, no more. We will come again to you, to yourdream."

Suddenly, they were vanished and the light was turned off. She shouted, "Wait!" but nothing happened and she kept shouting.

"WAIT!" Lightning shouted and sat up from her bed. She looked around and realized she was in her room, on her bed and she were having a dream, the same dream that kept haunted her for these recent days, but this time it was clearer than before. 'Maybe, before, they haven't gained enough power to come into my dream. Sigh, they were offering me something, but they haven't told me except the Crystals. The Crystals." Lighning was staring at her hand and thinking about her past. She shook her head and slapped her cheek slowly to gain her conscious. She got up from the bed, took a shower and put back her usual outfit.

She walked out from her room to downstairs and went to her 'work' room. There was a guy with blonde hair, who was already worked. He was standing in front of the big Fireplace and melting some kind of iron.

"Snow." Lightning was murmuring the blonde guy's name. The blonde guy, Snow, turned his head to see Lightning, who was still a bit 'sleepy', and said hi to her.

"So, did you sleep well, Light?" Light, it was her nickname for him and only her close friends that could call her that.

"Not really, Snow, so how about the swords?" asked her as she walked closer to Snow.

Snow, on the other hand, turned back to his job and continued joining the iron. "Great, so far it was doing great. Anyway, why don't you walk in front of the cashier? Perhaps there will be another customer, who knows?" He grinned to her and she smiled back reluctantly.

She walked slowly to the front desk and sitting on the chair. It was just 9 o'clock, so, there were still few people who came by and asked for her help. She was a blacksmith, a person that makes and repairs things from iron. Her friend, Snow, was helping her and they were doing this job. She was the boss and well, he was the assistant or maybe the hard worker?

A young woman, who looked just the same age, maybe a little younger than Lightning, with red hair, which was tied into two ponytails, was walking happily. A smile plastered on her face and she was sitting in front of Lightning now.

"Vanille?" asked Lightning. The young woman smiled happily to Lightning.

"What are you doing at here?" murmured Lightning. There was no one except them in front.

"I'm just passing by, can't I be here?" asked Vanille with pleading eyes.

"No, it's just…you're the princess. Shouldn't you be in your Kingdom or something?" explained Lightning.

"Yeah, you're right. Spending more time with those old hags. Aww, come on, you know I hate to be at that place and they were all talking about the engagement thing." Vanille sighed before continuing her sentences, "Besides, you know who I like, right?"

Lightning took a big breath before nodding her head slowly. Vanille smile happily again and clapped her hands. When Vanille, was about to speak, the door was opened. Another customer had come. The customer was a guy with dark blue hair, tall enough, his muscles and body was perfectly built. He was wearing a long dark blue robe and long dark blue pants (AN: I don't know how to describe it, but it was Noctis' usual cloth). Behind him was another guy with blonde hair. This guy was also had the same appearance with the other guy, except his hair was blonde and he was wearing a white t-shirt and a blue-black vest.

For a moment, Lightning was staring at them in awe. She shook her head and got back to reality when Vanille's voice ruining her mind.

"What can we do for you, Mister?" Vanille asked friendly.

The blonde guy smirked and said to his companion, "I don't know that they are having such a cute and beautiful woman to do man's things." Lightning glared at that blonde guy, but seemed that it didn't make any effect, so Lightning went to the other person.

"Seem your friend here is somehow take wrong idea about this place." The dark blue guy smirked to Lightning and said, "So, you think I don't take the wrong idea?"

"Just tell me what all of you want and get away before I lost my temper." Lightning groaned heavily.

"Alright, we want to see the owner of this place and the blacksmith." The blonde guy still giggled slowly.

"So, what do you want?" asked Lightning again, who was already infuriated.

"Don't you hear us? We want to see the owner of this place and the blacksmith." The dark blue guy repeated the same statement but this time with colder tone than his friends.

"Yeah, do all man really stupid?" asked Lightning to Vanille, who was giggling and trying to hold her laugh.

"Not really, Light. They just don't want to believe that women can do men's work." Vanille said while holding her laugh.

Out of nowhere, Snow was standing right behind Lightning and said, "Well, if you want to see the owner and the blacksmith, I am one of them, but tell you what, she is better than me, you know?" Snow raised his eyebrows to them.

The blonde guy said, "Well, sure she has the temper, Noct."

The dark blue guy said, "Don't-call-me-that." with cold tone.

The blonde guy chuckled, "Alright, alright, Noctis, there, better?"

"Whatever, Prompto." Noctis murmured.

"So, what do you guys want?" Lightning asked once more. She tried her best for not losing her temper and holding her anger.

"We? Actually, he is the one who insists me to come here." Prompto, the blonde guy pointed his finger to Noctis, who were still calm and staring at Lighting. He was looking Lightning from top to bottom and Lightning felt uneasy about this, so she shouted, "Quick, what do you want? I think you are not from this country, are you?"

Prompto nodded with a big smile. Noctis murmured slowly, "I want to be your assistant."

"What?" Lightning confused with him and asked him for sure.

He didn't say anything anymore except walking closer to her and staring at her. Lightning noticed that he was taller about 2 or 3 inch from her and she needed to look up to see him clearly. He smirked for God knows why and said, "I am here to apply as your assistant."

To be continued…

So, how is it? It took me almost 1 hour and a half to finish it because my grammar is sucks and I needed some time to look over it once more.

About the title, well, I didn't know what to make, but i ended up with this one, perhaps this one better?

Anyway, thank you for reading. I hope I could update faster x)

Please review for me, I know you want it, hehehe
