Allright, this fanfic is not specified to fit either Grandia or SO2 - The
Second Story. You can call me crazy, but I write this for the two best RPGs
I've ever played (possibly saving TOP and Final Fantasy Series). Also
another important thing to know is that both me, Ilkka, and my sister,
Marika, are involved in this crazy story to save the universe from the
ultimate Evil.. At last, I 'remodeled' everyone's personality (way or
another) to make it more fun and deep. And, one thing, though. I left Guido
and Liete out of the story since I already had too many characters in, I
couldn't stand writing about these two.. sorry. So, for you, Guido and/or
Liete fans, well, sorry. You're out of luck. I won't spoil the story
anymore.. Hope you like this Fan Fiction! ;) Also, as with many other
fanfics, it's good that you own or at least have played these games to
understand who am I talking about. It is a bonus if you have completed both
Grandia and SO2, but you don't have to. This fanfic spoils the plot,
though. No way around it;)
Disclaimer: I don't own either Grandia or SO2. Grandia is owned by Game Arts and SO2 is owned by Tri-Ace. I do own a copy of both games, however. And, for PlayStation, or PSOne, they're both owned by Sony. I, however, have one, but in this story, we have two..
Chapters up so far:

When the Worlds Collide..
Part One – Prologue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As spoken in the legend, 'Twelwe fierce 'Warriors of Light' will defeat the menace that's tgreathening the world.' (Yes, that's SO2 and the heroes vs. The 10 Wise Men) 'However, the peace will not last long. A new threat is about to arrive on this universe. It will involve not just one, but all of the worlds we know thus far. Three brave folk from the Planet known as Earth, along with many others, will challenge this ultimate Evil and decide to crush it in order to save not just themselves, but also everyone they love.. A total of twenty-two chosen ones are the only ones who stand a chance against this horrible fate..'

It all started three months ago. I went to the game store and bought both SO2 and Final Fantasy 7 for PSX. I had Grandia by that point. I played it first. Boy, did I hook on that game! After a certain point, I finally decided to move on to SO2. I didn't like it first, but my sister did, and encouraged by her, I continued playing. Then, that day arrived.. The day I'll never forget..
December 3rd
------------
Ilkka: I think I'll play Grandia today.
Marika: All right, bro, if you want so. May I borrow Star Ocean 2?
Ilkka: Go ahead.
Yes, we had 2 Playstations since I was always playing Grandia when my sister wanted to play Star Ocean (or at least she said so). We both inserted the CDs and started playing. I thought I'd load my best save so far.. (I had been playing for about 35 hours..) When I noticed my memory card had vanished. Marika must have hidden it somewhere.. that girl! She'll be sorry for this!
Ilkka: MARIKA! WHERE HAVE YOU HIDDEN MY MEMORY CARD?! *Runs to Marika's room*
Marika: Not now, bro. I can't find my memory card either. *Looks sad, is about to cry*
Ilkka: *Calms* Oh, is that so? Let me help.
Marika: Thanks.
After searching for a little while, we finally found her memory card. Now I memorized her that my memory card was also disappeared. We started looking for it. I looked at the clock. It was about 11 A.M. now.
It took us about a quarter to find. It was hidden under the desk, behind all the stuff there. I inserted the memory card and restarted my PlayStation. I noticed my memory card, which was normally green, had turned orange, the same as the color of Grandia Disc 2. I went to Marika's room and saw her memory card had turned light blue, just like the SO2 discs. I told this to Marika but she was too busy playing. I shrugged my shoulders and went back to my room. I took the controller in my hand my just as I was loading my game, everything went black. I couldn't see a thing, and finally I felt like something was.. sucking me in..
And the next thing I knew was that I was somewhere the heck out of my home, somewhere I've never been before. I looked at my watch. It was 11.45 A.M. I looked forward, over the hills that were before me, and pointed some buildings. Must be some kinda village, I thought and started walking.
---
Meanwhile, Marika had encountered the same incident and was blown somewhere else. Wait a minute.. This place looks like the road to Salva. But.. it can't be! It is on SO2, not the real world! Unless.. this.. isn't.. the.. real.. world.. Marika thought and began to fear what had happened to her mother, father and brother.. and everyone else, too! You fool! I can't find out anything if I just stay here. And.. besides, if I'm able to see Ashton.. If this is SO2's world, then I'd be most happy to go on! She thought and started walking towards the city in the south, a place called Arlia.
---
I had been walking for more than an hour now. God damn it! How far can that place be? And where's everybody? I haven't seen anybody since I arrived here. And.. I have a feeling that I'm.. not.. on Earth.. I thought as I forced my feet forward. Then, suddenly, I heard someone's voice waayyy behind me.
????: WAIT!! WAAIITT!! Ah gawdamnit, can't ya hear me?
I turned around and saw someone at a distance quite far away. I had always been a cautious person, but this time I started walking towards that person ignoring my common sense that was now calling me an asshole for not listening. Finally, I got close enough to see that person better. He was a guy, without a doubt, but I had never seen anybody with such ears as him. His ears were long and sharp. He was wearing a jacket, some kind of trousers and a headband.
????: Good for ya that ya turned around. Now I'm not gonna thrash ya that bad!
Ilkka: Wait.. at first, tell me who you are, and where are we?
????: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL'S THIS PLACE, EITHER!
Ilkka: Okay, okay.. calm down. Who are you?
????: Why should I tell ya my name?
Ilkka: Because.. well.. we're not enemies.
????: ??
Ilkka: God damn it, I don't have any good reason! I just wanted to know your name, if you have one, at the first place.
????: I DO HAVE ONE, YA...
Ilkka: Okay, then.. what is it.. Come on, I'm Ilkka. Who are you?
????: Allright.. I'm Rapp, from the village of Cafu.. and.. *is cut off by Ilkka*
Ilkka: Rapp? From Cafu? Hell no. You've gotta be kidding, dude!
Rapp: No, I'm not. Look, I can understand if ya don't know the place. But that's true. I am from the village of Cafu.
Ilkka: Can it really be.. if he's really Rapp.. from Grandia.. then.. Well, uh, Rapp, do you know of person called Justin? He's a red-haired.. *is cut off by Rapp*
Rapp: Did ya just say JUSTIN? Do ya know him? Where is he? Where, gawdamnit?
Ilkka: Hold on! I know Justin, kinda. But I've got no clue where he's now. Or where are Feena and the others, including my sister.
Rapp: Well, then we'd better search for them together, if ya don't mind, Ilkka?
Ilkka: No, I don't mind. In fact, it'll be good to have a buddy in case we get into battle. Which is very obvious since it really seems Rapp hasn't learned any manners. If Justin and Feena are here too, then.. I'd be most pleasured to meet them. Although I think I know this place.. might it be.. LINGA?
Rapp: Linga? Wazzat?
Ilkka: That town! Over there! That's gotta be Linga!
Rapp: *Glares Ilkka furiously* Hold on there, Ilkka! You just said you don't know the place. Well then how come you know this town? WERE YOU LYING? Not really wise..
Ilkka: Look, I'll tell you after we've found everybody! I don't wanna say it a billion times though. And I doubt you would understand it, at least for now.. So not only Grandia involved, but SO2 also.. MARIKA WAS PLAYING IT! SHE MUST BE HERE TOO!
We walked to the town of Linga, as I thought I could ask some help from Precis. She is a master of machines, just like Leon, and could probably help me out.. and Rapp and others as well.. But I also had a feeling that the journey was far from over, and boy was I right..
---
At that time, Marika was nearly exhausted from her endless walking. Then she heard a sound east of her, in the woods.
????: HELP!!
Marika: Someone's in trouble! I gotta go look what I can do!
Marika runs to the forest and finds a black-haired guy attacked by an lizard wearing a big ax. That guy is protecting a young woman and a guy with... cat ears?... Marika attacks the monster, even though she isn't equipped. But she has the advantage of back attacking. She hates fighting though, so she traps the monster and asks those three to come and kill it. The black-haired guy takes out his twin swords.
Black-haired guy: Hope I can still fight.. I haven't fought for a long time.. *hits the trapped enemy and kills it* Whew!
Marika: Now just a minute.. who are you?
The woman: Oh my, darling, I think we haven't introduced ourselves yet. Well, me, I'm Celine. Celine Jules.
The guy with cat ears: And I'm the zoologist known as Noel Chandler.
Black-haired guy: And my name is.. *is cut off by Marika*
Marika: CELINE? NOEL? Then.. are you by any chance.. Ashton?!?
Ashton: Why, yes I am. We were gathering some foo... H-How did you know my name?
Marika: Let's say I've heard many things about you. And I'm your admirer. My name is Marika.
Noel: Marika? I've never heard of anyone with a name as weird as that!
Marika: *Glares at Noel* Hey Noel, whaddya mean?
Ashton: *A little bit blushing* Yeah, Noel, that was rude of you!
Celine: *Also glares at Noel* Yes darling, why did you say something like that to Marika sweetheart?
Marika: *Looks at Celine with a surprised look* Sweetheart?
Celine: Oh, whatever, darling. Come, let's all head back to Arlia. Marika, do you mind coming with us? We'd like to present you to the others.
Marika: *Blushes as she looks at Ashton* Why not, as long as I'm with you..
Ashton: *Looks at Marika, half embarrased and half surprised* I'm a bit embarrased..
Marika: *Still blushing* Ahh..
At this time, Celine and Noel drop a little behind Marika and Ashton and start talking together.
Celine: *Looks at Marika, and then Noel* I guess she's fallen in love.
Noel: Yeah.. I guess you're right.
Celine: Come on, we must get going too, or we'll be left behind!
Noel: *Looks at Celine and blushes* Why to hurry? I'm a little sleepy also, you know. *Grins*
Celine: *Looks suspiciously at Noel* What? Oh, not now, Noel. We can sleep together there too. I can't wait to see Rena and Claude again. *Continues walking, then starts running towards Ashton and Marika*
Noel: *Looks after Celine* Whatever.. *Runs after Celine and others*
To be continued..
