I do not own final fantasy, kingdom hearts, Disney, or square Enix.

I will be following the story of day thirteen and ch. 1-2 and part of ch. 3 of Final Fantasy XIII for a bit on the first few chapters but afterward the story is all original (at least for now)

The Hanging Edge

"Attention Purge deportees. Follow instructions, and stay in your lines. Personal belongings will be returned upon arrival" A PSICOM soldier yells at us in the crowd. Two people try to make a run for it. He shoots them and I flinch at the sound of the gunshots. He then calls out "Do not leave your lines! This is for your own safety!" Then a guardian corps woman walks up to him. The PSICOM soldier then asks "What's the GC doing here? This op's under PSICOM direction."

She then says, "So direct me. Let me on. I want to be Purged."

The PSICOM soldier then whispers something to her and she hands over her weapon, "Line up," calls the PSICOM soldier. The woman gets in line and a man with an Afro gets behind her.

"Excuse me. Hey, lady. What gives?" The man asks her.

"I volunteered," the woman says.

"Really? You don't look ready to go quiet into that good night." He says. I agree she looks ready to fight.

She then replied, "You want quiet, you'd better take the next train."

'Yeah she is definitely ready to fight,' I say in my head.

"Well, now I really want to see what you're up to." The man says.

At that time I reach the door to the train. When I get on they require me to put on a robe that binds my hands. After a few minutes the soldier woman and the man with the Afro get on. We go through a tunnel and everything is dark. I hear what sounds like punches and when the lights come on the woman has her weapon back and the man has two pistols. Two more soldiers march in and the woman takes them out and releases our restraints.

I get up and grab a rocket launcher from one of the downed soldiers after taking off my robe. Me and a few others follow the two who freed us as they continue to fight.

"They all want to fight," the man says.

The soldier woman then says, "Good for them." After a bit of fighting she orders me, "Give me that!" She then takes the rocket launcher and destroys one of PSICOM's ships. Then one of PSICOM's pet monsters open's up a hole in the train.

"Run!" The Afro man says. Then the woman runs up to the monster and starts fighting it. "I meant away." The man says but still goes to join her.

Since none of us have real weapons we stay down inside the train. Those two run off leaving us on our own and then we leave the train so we aren't such a big target. After a while a man in a white trench-coat comes up and asks us "You all okay?" Then one of his followers, a teenager in a purple shirt and a black vest carrying a stack of guns, accidentally drops a few of them. The man in the trench coat says, "Hey, careful with those." He then turns to us and says, "Don't worry, no one's moving to Pulse today. We'll clear you a path out of here, so be ready to..."

I then stand up and interrupt him saying, "Wait! Let me fight with you!"

Apparently I am not the only one who wants to fight because the others started saying things along these lines. The man in the trench coat talks to one of his followers then says, "Okay then. Volunteers front and center."

I stand up and grab a gun followed by a few others, including one of my neighbors from Palumpolum, Nora Estheim. I also notice her son, Hope, is here and I say under my breath, "Dammit, why did they have to get caught up in this."

When there is only one gun left they end up giving it to a teenage girl who then pretends to shoot the man in the trench coat and he pretends to be hurt and he asks her to protect Hope and the others.

We start fighting against PSICOM and we make it pretty far and with no casualties. But as we are fighting on a bridge it gets blown out. Many people fall and the man in the trench coat is holding onto the edge and Nora is hanging onto him. Her hand slips out of his and she falls. I then think about how it must have looked to Hope and I help the man in the trench coat.

He asks me, "Thanks, do you happen to know her or her son?"

I lie and say "No" because I know that Hope will probably try to kill him and I don't want Bartholomew to lose both his wife and son. "What is your name by the way?" I ask so I can tell Hope that it wasn't his fault.

"Snow, what's yours?" He tells me.

"My name is Logan," I say and then we hear an announcement from the Primarch.

"Attention Purge deportees. Attention Purge deportees. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Your removal is the will of the people of Cocoon. Should you attempt to flee, the Sanctum will employ every resource necessary to bring you to justice. This land is no longer your home. Cease hostilities and surrender at once."

The PSICOM airships then lift up the vestige. I think only about how that thing is the reason Nora is dead. Snow then utters a name "Serah."

"Who's Serah?" I ask him.

"My fiancé. She Is trapped inside of that and I intend to rescue." He tells me.

"You idiot! You do realize that if she is in there she is probably a L'cie, right?" I ask him now wary of his plans.

"I know she is a L'cie but I still am going to try to save her," he says.

"If she is that important to you then I will help you." I then look around for a weapon and I see that one of these soldiers was using my custom Gunswords. "They are using our personal weapons against us," I tell him as I retrieve my swords and their sheathe. I then put the sheathe on like a quiver and put my swords together and put the swords in it.

"Well then we need to see if we can retrieve them." Snow says.

"If we find them we should probably dispose of them or use them ourselves since only some kids are left." I tell him. He then get's the strong one of his followers to snap out of his shock. We then continue on our way to where the kids are after we take some bikes from some soldiers we killed. On the way he tells me about his group and I almost laugh at the irony of their name, NORA. He also says something that surprises me, "Gadot, if you don't know who you've got to save, you just protect them all, right?"

Gadot then asks Snow "Something on your mind?"

Snow just stays quiet.

When we arrive at the base. The other members of NORA are aiming their guns at our air bikes. Then Snow shouts "Hey! It's us, it's us! Don't shoot." Maqui and the others the lower their guns and he shouts "Snow!" We land and I run straight to Hope. I see him talking to somebody and when I reach him he is angrier than I expected. I calm him down and the girl he is with introduces herself to me and I tell her my name.

I still don't think it is safe for him to talk to Snow. I go and talk to Snow and he says that I should join NORA. I tell him I will think about it and then we both ride an air bike to the vestige.

Please be patient with the story. I know that this is so far a lot like the game but this IS leading to some new content. Please be understanding.
