So this is a new story, a spark of an idea, this chapter is kind of the set up, no characters at this point but just like i said a set up. Not sure what sparked this idea, i was reading a high school fan fic and just popped so I hope you like it. This will be my second serious one but the first serious long story. I hope you like it, it will be cross of just about any game i have ever play, mostly Final Fantasy but mixing in other character as well. Please review with comments, ideas, opinions, critics and whatever else.

Well now to the point, I do not own anything mentioned in this fan fic, the games that the characters come from or the characters or any other existing material used for this fan fiction.

Chapter 1

Valhalla School, was a school dedicated to producing students that would serve as militaries for the nations of Gaia Lumarios,a hundred years of history lead to Valhalla being the most prestigious of the so called Merc Universities. A hundred years prior during the greatest war ever known the last remaining powers of the world decided that with militaries permanently at hand war such as the Great War were all to probable, that led to the rise of such schools and a union of nations built in order to make sure such a war never happened again. Eventually the schools became their own union, the regulations the Union put on them kept them from getting out of control in the beginning and eventually led to an almost perfect system of "guns for hire" that made wars more costly but not as threatening to civilian way of life. Valhalla indeed became the largest and best of the Merc Universities, but not everyone could be in a Merc University, it took rigorous tests to get into them starting at an early age, at thirteen a candidate was tested and watched if they passed they would be taken to the University of their choice but depending upon the school would need to pass even more tests for entrance, once in the school it acted as its own society; more often than not alumni would stay at the school to teach or live there as residents to keep close to the information or simply because they had grown to know the place and enjoyed it. Alumni were free to do what they pleased, if they wanted to leave for other nations they could with ease but if the University called upon them they would drop everything. May at Valhalla were legacies, their parents and beyond were alumni and lived in the University boundaries. Alumni worked for the university, in some way, the universities ran at one hundred percent efficiency, almost a utopian society miss the fact they before they could be members of the society people had four years of high school, the university style and then another two to four years of graduate courses, if students didn't met the minimums they would be banished; although banishment was not as severe as it sounded. But within the school there were five main groups that students could be a part of, they were official groups, working together by the means of their group to reach graduation, most never knew who exactly was in what groups outside of the school, the school in itself was a society and until graduate courses most students never saw the outside of the school grounds and even then they rarely had time to do much outside of the school. The school met the needs of every student, housing, meals, opportunities to make extra money and all of the other means one would need. The legacies were looked upon with great respect while the few at this day in age that made their way into Valhalla were almost feared; the common thought was that if they had been able to get to Valhalla on their own they were certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Valhalla was a group unified school, even those without a group were considered a group, there were countless divisions but none were recognized other than the five formally established groups. The five established groups were led by two people each, the lead rank was normally a graduate while the second could be anyone the lead thought proper, the second would remain the second until the lead had to pick a successor, normally it went to the second if eligible but if not then the second could challenge the successor for the title within the laws of the groups. The system ran almost perfectly as well but once in awhile exceptions would leak through, the names of the exceptions lived in infamy within the society and sometimes even within the world. Each school had a division of the groups; albeit they were named differently they normally held to similar laws and almost identical practices. Valhalla's groups were known as; The Order of the Fangs, Shadow Foxes, Union of Oni, Coalition of Magi and The Hunters. The Order of the Fangs were more commonly known as The Wolf Pack, they were considered the be the strongest physically aside from the Union of Oni who stood on almost equal ground; the Wolf Pack was considered to be aggressive but noble, if they hit you it was hard and quick. The Shadow Foxes, commonly known as either Shadows or Foxes were the most cunning and the most silent of the groups; if you were hit by a Shadow or a Fox you wouldn't know before or after nor would you know who hit you, how you were hit, when or even where you were hit; Shadows were invisible and secretive. The Union of Oni were the most feared group of all, considered to be the most ruthless and almost evil in a sense, commonly known as Demons; if you were hit by a Demon you would likely not live to talk about it, but it was certain that it would be the most painful thing you ever felt. The Coalition of Magi, known as Feathers were the most graceful of people, the magic that they used was unimaginable, while most other groups had a variety of people of physical, mental and magical power the Feathers were almost one hundred percent magic users. The Feathers were considered to be the most intelligent of all; if you were hit by a Feather then they knew everything about you down to the smallest detail. Finally the Hunters were the most persistent of all, not known by anything else they held their title with more pride than any other. If a Hunter had targeted you, they would follow you until their mission had been complete, not matter what; it was said even death would not stop a Hunter's mission. The Wolf Pack was a fairly easy going group, they worked with all group pretty evenly, except for the Shadow Foxes which they were on exceptional terms with and except for the Union of Oni, which they hated, the constant tension tore at each side threatening to throw the school into a battle of titans. The Shadow Foxes sat well with the other groups as well except for the Demons which there was a small amount of tension with simply disliking the other's practices but never escalated higher than a clash of ideas and as well the same applied with the Foxes view of the Hunters. The Coalition of Magi was the most friendly group of all, a neutral group at heart as well as the peace keepers for the most part. The Hunters looked down slightly on all groups if they failed a mission for their lack of dedication or at least that is how they saw it, other than the slight superiority complex the Hunters were generally a neutral group as well but one that would lend aid to any other group for a certain price, not always a monetary price though.

Dawn set in on the large school, the center of our attention, a new year was beginning in a matter of hours, after a three month break from classes for the summer season students awoke to take on their new year while other awoke to see their first day of their new life.
