WOW! But the things that are familiar to you are all things owned by
Square. Hey, also, just got past the point in FF8 where they get the
Ragnarok and all that stuff...
A/N: Again, thanks to my beta-readers Whitewolf and MegalomaniacHaruka.

The year is 2002.
It is a normal spring afternoon.
The sun is setting.
Tornado and storm sirens blaze in the distance.
The streets of the Chicago suburbs are oddly dead.
Lights are on in houses, but no people can be seen.
There is one lone house...
In the house a single tv screen flickers, and a shadow can be seen in
front of it.
{[Hello, I am Walter Jacobson and this is a FOX news alert. NASA
scientists have reported strange black areas moving over 2 of the
moon's craters. These areas are slowly starting to pull away from the
surface. We go live to the NASA press conference at the Cape in
Florida.
-Hello, I am Dr. Steiren. These masses appear to be living creatures.
We ask everyone to remain in their homes and evacuate to their
basements or lowest levels. This is what we are going to call a Lunar
Cry. Right now we are unsure whether the creatures are hostile or not.
To be safe though, we are asking people to remain in their homes. The
government will handle everything.-
There you have it. Please stay tuned to a FOX news for details as they
arrive.]}
The shadow moves forward. Almost like there is no person that owns it.
It moves towardthe window and wall and walks through it, hovering over
the bushes, moving out into the isolated street. The shadow does
belong to a person though. Person is a general term though. As what
appears to be arms stretch for the sky, it changes from a two
dimensional figure into a shape with form. First it remains inky
black, then, slowly, a clear crystal crown grows out from it's
forehead. Crystal bracelets and gloves grow and cover its hands. Then,
its eyes... they glow with the colors of the rainbow. It would have
been a beautiful, yet eerie image, if it had been imaginary, just a
figment of someone's overactive imagination captured in a picture. But
it was real, and as a black fog surrounded it, it would most likely
have struck fear into the heart of even the strongestGod-fearing man.
From this mistake of nature came a voice. Haunting, yet mesmerizing.
It would be the voice heard around the world.
"It has begun..."
It was clearly feminine. Icy and cold. Sharp as the crystal shadow
creature it came from.
The fog grew restless at her feet, and surrounded her. It expanded,
and covered everything, never stopping. It bolted upward, higher and
higher, coating everything and making it inky black.
Then, the sky went black.
People never saw the sky falling down on them.
How could they?
So they believed what their imaginations told them.
If they had seen, they would have known it was not truly the sky
crumbling down and ruining everything, but a large, obelisk shaped
building and the minions of a great evil.

[Hi, I kno this is gloomy + depressing. Don't worry, it'll get
better... Also, the first chapter is kinda short. The second will be
longer.]
