Prologue: What is With These Lights?!
Lightning walked into her living room, where Serah and Snow were having a conversation. She sighed- she wasn't looking forward to seeing Snow today. "There you are, Lightning," Serah said cheerily. "Snow and I were just going to get pizza. You'll have the house to yourself." Not even Lightning heard when Serah softly added, "Again."
"That is, unless you want to come grab a slice with us," added Snow.
Lightning narrowed her eyes. "I would never," she replied. "I would sooner eat the backside of a trampled Gorgonopsid than think of going to grab a slice with-"
Lightning never got to finish that sentence, as a bright light filled her home and she, Serah, and Snow were lifted into the air, taking the house with them.
Hope had just come home from school, and he had plans to start on his science fair project with Alyssa and Elida. The three teens were in Hope's kitchen at the time, scrambling to see what Hope's parents left for an after-school snack.
"Hey, I'll be right back," Hope told the girls. "I just want to change out of my gym uniform."
Hope stepped off of the stool he'd been sitting on, but no sooner had he done that, the same bright light lifted Hope's house into outer space.
Fang and Noel had just come back from the hunt, and Vanille and Yeul were waiting for them inside one of Oerba's many tin houses. Had it been night, they'd have lit a fire in the village proper, but it wasn't quite dark enough to do that just yet.
"They're back!" Vanille was the one to spot her lifelong friend first. "Come on, let's go see what they got."
She and Yeul ran to the two hunters, expectant smiles on both of their faces. "What did you two hunt down for us this time?" asked Yeul.
"It's a doozy, I'll tell ya that much," replied Fang. "I'm gonna need to use that lift in the proper… uh…"
She felt all around her person in search of the keys. "Damn it, I must have left the keys in the house. Come on, guys, help me look for 'em."
When the door had been closed, that particular home was also sent into orbit by a bright light.
[A/N]: Hey guys, so happy to finally be starting this!
I've been playing around with the idea of a Crash Nitro Kart/Final Fantasy 13 crossover in my head for a while now, so I figure it's about time to start expanding it into a story. Even though I never even finished Nitro Kart. Hm, maybe I should get back on that…
Anyway, the action begins next chapter. See you there!
