Sorry for they way Shantotto came out. I am not very good when I have to rhyme. This story introduce not only four new heros but four new villains. I will explain what happen to them as well as what happen to characters like Prishe and why they only appear in flashbacks. That also means I will have more the Four new heros and villains. One of the characters as you can tell isn't from any FF game, he will appear in a new story that should appear after this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from the Final Fantasy games or Dissidia. Story idea and any OC's are mine.
Dissidia 007: Final Fantasy Septem
Chapter 0: Prologue – A Toll of the Solider
Cosmos the Goddess of Harmony
Chaos the God of Discord
Two Forces that rage a divine conflict, the prize of this war is the world itself. Entrusted with this task are brave warriors whom are summoned for that solitary principle.
Champions of their god, as different as they might be are very similar. Helpless of their fate to uphold the balance, or to bring it down that so called balance. They fight endless battles all so they can be rewarded that which is already theirs, their memory of their loved ones, worlds, and the most important thing of all memories of themselves.
But little hope shines in this endless conflict. As they will soon lose all just to try anew. Warriors of Cosmos, Warriors of Chaos fight to end this eternal fracas so they can return home. A hidden truth lies in-between the lines in which they dismiss, a lie that this war is one without an end. It is their destiny to fight till their strength has given out and the light of hope fades…
As I look around at the faces of my so called comrades in arms, I can see mixed feelings. I see false hope in some, sorrow in others, and lastly in the last group optimism. We stand in a grand opening consisting of flat water plain. In the middle lays a grand porcelain throne bordered by two shells like angle wings. On both sides of the throne stood two of my companions. The one on the left was short; her black and white stripe robe gave off the black mage like feel. The robe had gold linings that matched her two gauntlets.
The second person was as tall as me. A knight with blue armor with khaki and white cloth hanging off of him, his helmet has two horns that poke out of it. We call him the Warrior of Light and the short one Shantotto. Sitting in the middle was a beautiful woman. Her hair flows like a golden river. Her gown is pure white with gold trimmings.
Cosmos sit there with a façade that everything will be alright. "My tired and weary warriors, I am thankful that you are all unharmed." I rolled my eyes, as if she cared. "I have called you back here to announce that you all have done a valiant job of keeping our sanctum free of Chaos' touch."
Shantotto laughs at those words as her real chosen hero steps forth. "We must keep the enemy at bay till we find a way to put an end to this war."
I started out laughing. My outburst even took the girl with the light pink hair by surprise. "I am sorry but do you honestly think we can win this battle with the eighteen of us?"
Zidane smiles at us. "Why not, as long as we help each other out we can-"
"Help each other out? Monkey why should we help each other? We know nothing about each other. What reason do we have to help each other?" I ranted.
Zidane looked upset in a way. "Do we have to have a reason to help someone?"
Laguna smiles and walks up to Zidane. "You have a point there. Look Kaiden, we all understand the position that you are in. But the fact of the matter is that you fight with aid from us so we can protect this world." that goofy smile really pisses me off. "Besides taking out your frustration out on us isn't going to do any good, we need to have a calm head if we are going to win."
Win there is that word again. Do they not get it; Chaos has not only his chosen warriors but a never ending army of manikins. "You just don't get it do you. I don't care what happens to this world. I want to go back to the place I belong." I then turn my attention to Cosmos. "And you. Who do you think you are to pull me or any of us for that matter to fight this stupid war for you?"
"That is enough my friend. Cosmos pulled us here because we represent the fragment that this world is made up of." Minwu words although meant to calm me down angered me even more.
I scoffed at his remark. "I am sorry Wizard. But I have been around this world many times. Not once do I see a place in this world of mockery memories that seems any familiar to me. So I will take that I don't have a place in this world." I looked at the three younger members. "Tell me something. What about them."
Everyone looks at Vaan, Yuna, and the young boy known as the Onion Knight. Yuna looks at Cosmos noticing the hurt on her face from the scorn truth I spoke. "I am fine, we all are. Please do not worry."
Why act strong, it is noticeable how tired she is. I basically said this to myself. "A battle field is no place for a children or defensibly little girls."
I decided that no one was going to listen to me or they are just going to make excuse. As I take my leave a firm hand lands on my shoulder. Jecht decided that it was time for him to make his presents known. "You might not belong here, but you are here. I think it is time for you to hone up to that fact and do your part."
My eyes glared at him. "Remove your hand or I will cut it off."
After what seemed like minutes he removed his hand. I then continued to storm off. I had to get away from these. I know deep down that I had no right to say what I said. But there isn't any point in me being like everyone else. I have to be the voice of reason the truth of what we are really doing.
Tifa was going to go after me but a man in a red jacket put his hand out to stop her. "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return."
"Do you think this moment is of need of that rhyme from a book?" asked Vaan.
The man with the book closed it and looked at his friends. "I read that line for a reason." He put the book up and started to walk deeper into the group. "This place holds nothing for him. He has lost his will and reason to fight. But even that won't stop him from returning to the one place that is safe. Here."
Tifa looked on as I started to fade from the picture. "But the armies are vast and could over power him, what if he needs our help Genesis?"
"That is true but he does need to be alone. So I say send Squall and Lightning after him." Genesis said as he looks at the two gunblade wielders.
They look at each other then back at Genesis. Squall crossed his arms and turned away. "Whatever."
Lightning took on a more demanding pose. "Why should we be the ones?"
"Because with you two around at least he will feel alone since you seemed to be as friendly as he is." Genesis jest.
"Don't delay you two for he is on his way." Shantotto said pushing the two off where I was going. "And as for the rest of you the rest is up on your way. Partner up before you go."
Meeting adjourned I guess. As they go their ways Shantotto and Warrior of Light stay behind.
"He is right. I had no right to summon him here." Cosmos said out loud.
Shantotto turns to the pure hearted goddess. "Ohahahahahahaha. His words are for naught. He cowards by using words."
Cosmos looked on as Lightning and Squall struggle to catch up to me. "He wasn't always like that." She closes her eyes and remembers back. "He was always happy."
"What changed to make him like this?" Her Warrior of Light asked.
A picture of three warriors flashed in the goddess head. "He lost someone special and though he can't remember that person's face. He knows that person is missing."
Ah that is what I call a Dream team. You know with Lightning, Squall, and Kaiden all traveling together. I bet they all have tons to say. Since I got Eight new characters I will release random quotes each new characters as well as those that where lost thanks to Shinryu's purification. Thanks for reading.
