Noct's Bizarre Adventure: Lucian Crusaders
Episode I: Noct of Lucstar!
Long ago before the age of Lucis, a young ambitious future king was to rule the lands of Eos. However, due to the corruption that filled his heart, he was deemed unworthy to be king and thus such right was passed to his blood kin. He challenged the True King, only to be defeated in a brutal battle. However, the vile enemy took the name and body of the deceased first True King and then slumbered in a coffin, hoping that one day he would awake and take back what rightfully belonged to him...
His time was now... to take revenge on his own family... the Lucstars!
Insomnia, Kingdom of Lucis. 2,000 years later...

"So... Noctis Lucstar Caelum. Our future king of Lucis," Crowe flipped through her papers.
"Yes, that's right. I heard that His Majesty was arrested and placed in detainment," Said Ignis Scientia, "I have been tasked to bring him back."
"Arrested for picking a fight at school... Nearly beat all four thugs to death and one of them even had a reputation of being a professional boxer," Nyx Uric smirked then swung the prison keys around his finger in a circular motion, "Even managed to crush the balls of one of the thugs... sorry for the language."
"Ignis sighed, "I keep telling him not to get involved in pointless fighting... but please, accept this bail so we may be on our way."
"Trust me, even if you bailed him out, 'His Highness' won't leave," Crow put the papers back into the filing cabinet, "We've been trying to get the Prince out of there since, but he refuses to budge."
"Then may I see him?" Ignis asked.
Nyx and Crowe looked at one another then looked at Ignis. Then Nyx unlocked the door to the prison cells and he and Crowe escorted Ignis down the stairs. The hallway was damp and dark, not a single shred of light could impregnate the rough cracks of the wall. The cries of the tormented prisoners, stripped of their freedom only made the already macabre atmosphere more morbid. Ignis paid no attention to the prisoners nor the environment, but he would hate to see the Prince in here.
"I have to say, your accent is different from the rest," Crowe noticed, "Are you sure you're from Lucis?"
"I came from a different region," Ignis replied bluntly.
"Eh, you Lucians look all the same to me," Nyx chuckled.
"... And here he is," Crowe said, "The Prince of Fighters."
Suddenly, several prisoners crowded around the three but the bars barricaded them from coming any closer. Their shrieks of fear and suffering rang at random.
"Please, get us outta here!"
"I can't stay in here!"
"He's gonna kill us!"
Annoyed, Nyx banged on the bars with his dagger.
"Hey, hey, hey! The hell's wrong with you all?" He demanded.
"It's the Prince! He's a danger to us all in here!" One of the poor prisoners explained.
ゴゴゴゴ
In the shadows of the cell was a silhouette of a young man, glaring at Ignis, Nyx, and Crowe. The figure wore all black with a matching cap that meshed with his hair. He was sitting on the bed, his deep blue eyes peering through the darkness. Nyx and Crowe shuddered slightly when the boy's eyes came in contact with theirs, but Ignis could tell this was the man he was looking for.
"Noct," Ignis called.
No response. He just kept glaring at him.
"Noct," Ignis said again sternly, "Noct, Noct, No-"
"SHUT UP! GET OUT OF MY FACE, YOU BITCH!" Noctis bellowed.
Ignis sighed, "Fine. At least you responded."
Noctis slumped over his bed and rolled away, his back facing them. Nyx kicked the bars angrily.
"Hey! Prince! Get your lazy ass up! We're letting you go!"
Noctis turned his head over to stare at Nyx. He mentally told Nyx to screw off and leave him alone. Once Nyx noticed this, he was irate.
"I can't leave," Noctis said, "I'm a danger to everyone out there. I don't know but when I get mad, the people around me suffer... and I think it's because..."
He raised himself up, "An evil spirit is possessing me!"
ドチャーッ!
Crowe sighed, "You see what I mean? He's determined to stay in there until he figures out how to 'expel' the demon."
"I swear, there is something wrong with him upstairs..." Nyx growled.
"I assure you he is simply delusional," Ignis concluded.
"Wait!" Noctis got up from his bed, terrifying his inmates. He walked towards the bars and put his hand out, "If you won't believe me..."
Suddenly, an invisible force pulled on Nyx's dagger, forcing it out of his hands. He, Crowe, and Ignis were shocked beyond words, yet Ignis could see another hand extend from Noctis. This hand put the dagger in Noctis's hand and he held the dagger up to his stomach. Ignis knew from then what Noctis was about to do.
"Then I'll make you believe!
"No! Noct-!"
スライス！
The three were surprised to see Noctis still alive, but struggling to stab himself. The same hands from before held the dagger, preventing Noctis from killing himself.
What is going on? Is an entity really possessing Noct? Or could this be... If so, The King must be informed about this!
"Keep a close eye on him!" Ignis ordered as he left.
Both Crowe and Nyx watched him leave and they wondered why. The Crownsguard were definitely different from the Hamon-wielding Kingsglaive.
Author Notes
Hiya, everyone! Well, this is the first chapter of the JoJo x FFXV crossover! Speaking of crossover, it's sort of a crossover... rather it's a retelling of FFXV... JoJo style! And I tried to make as many references as possible.
Basically, the story is similar to Stardust Crusaders, but there will be references to other JoJo arcs and don't worry, I'll try to retain the FFXV premise as much as I can.
There may be a few cameos of JoJo characters here and there...
Finally, this story can come out of development hell! Oh and I guess I have to explain some of the SFX. They'll be littered around the story a lot.
ド = Rumble
ゴ = Menacing
スライス！ = Slice!
ドチャーッ! = Bam!
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Noct's Bizarre Adventure! As always, constructive criticism is welcomed!
Chao!
