Final Fantasy Zero: The Last Summoner
an epic by: Preventer Heaven
Prologue
AD 2410
200 years after the Great Final Conflict
It was the anniversary of the end of the Great Final Conflict, which reduced most of the earth into total ruin. Civilization was demolished, social order was destroyed, all forms of technology were brought into complete halt. what were once great cities towering over land and sea were razed to the ground in a great nuclear exchange between superpowers, utilizing even their fearsome military resources in a war within and without the planet itself. What resulted was the form of Earth now called the Wasteland, inyhospitable to any form of life, filled with toxic gases, a few settlements here and there buried under the ground. The human race, at the pinnacle of its own power, was humiliated before the secret, invisible group of powerful superior beings who by now have begun to surface. Known only as Guardian Forces or Eidolons, these spirits have the ability to become one with their human summoners if the situation calls for it and grant then their devastating powers, and made themselves known to mankind beliveing that they will change for the better. However, they were grievously wrong, and their powers were soon used for violence and to fuel man's unending desire for sin again.
200 years have passed, yet humans have not learned from the previous, deadly mistakes of their forefathers. a group of summoners, known as the Avatars, have gathered to take control of the ruined world and bring order to the destroyed society---but with an objective far more horrid than the results of the last conflict itself: they aim to assimilate all the Guardian Forces within them, and in doing so achieve absolute power. worse, they were backed by the world's only superpower that time, the Empire of Midgar, led by a sickly monarch, his wise daughter and their domineering prime minister who doesn't heed the monarchy anyway.
The last bastion of the human race's sanity, Liberty, the former New York City, has learned of this and decided to stop the incasion of the Avatar's assembled forces. Howerver, their tropps severely outnumbered by the Midgar military, they were in a dilemma on how to prevent the evil plan of the misguided summoners. Without any choices left, they hired the Summoner Army, popularly known as SeeDs, composed of trained summoners and living in a sanctuary, the location of which is forever to be kept secret to the rest of the world. These mercenaries are to stop the Avatars at any cost and eliminate their leadership.
This is the final battle, yet the beginning of a new age.
Encoder's note: (otherwise known as Radiant's ramblings)
Well, my best friend Prev Heaven wrote this, but the poor bloke crashed his own computer (told you you were overdoing it with all those games) and so I'm encoding the whole damn thing for him again. Good he managed to print the damn thing out, at least he had been left with something.
If you read on, you will find that ALL, as in ALL summons from FF IV to FF X have been used and the plotlines are interwoven , with a bit from each FF. But the plot is the Meteor and Holy type, only this time with the eidolons in the big picture like FF IX and X. the SeeDs will play a great part here too.
No, there will not be any characters from the series here, only original characters. But my friend might borrow a costume or a weapon or two. There's no materia but the magic from FF VIII is used. Places from all over the FF universe are used.
New GF's will be used too, but that just adds color to it. Onlyabout two, I think. If you're in the mood for DBZ-like action, you've read the right thing.
Hope you like it!
