Author's Note: Hi! This is my second story on this site. I am in love with Final Fantasy XIII and wanted to make my own version. Yes, it is short but since it's a prologue I tried to make it short. This revolves around all the characters and it's 5 years later. So enjoy :D
Disclaimer: I do not own anything involving SE, it's just a Fanfic.
Prologue
"What in the world is that?" A local civilian said staring at the clouded sky suddenly broken up into a gigantic hole.
From the sky and purple giant planet looking ball, outlined by blue across it. It was going to clash into Gran Pulse, fireballs storming down into the city with bursts of purple flames knocking and colliding buildings with each other falling onto vehicles and people.
'We all thought it was over; we all thought things would go back to the way it was before, no longer controlled by the fal'Cie's focus. But when a dominant force is destroyed, another one is born, as for the endless cycle of peril. No Utopia shall be born. Hate is a powerful word, constructed to show negativity towards another, to grant peace,
we must eliminate that meaning. . .'
"Hope run!" A girl pushed Hope out of the way as his appearance was older, new clothing, more modern.
With a sudden blink Hope noticed a fireball land on the girl, still lying on the ground, with eyes widened. No reaction, just a shocked expression…
But the giant world stood still, like it wanted to destroy Gran Pulse and take its place to bring anew. To replace, you must destroy… To gain you must let go. We do not live forever, but we live long enough to know.
No one could stop the inevitable. Changing fate is just a small portion of the universal order; time still goes on, changing fate is just changing what will choose your destiny, not the people.
It was dark; the bounded planet blocked all light, only the purple flames lit up as it destroys the mysterious city… Why now? Why here? Why should it happen?
With a sudden crack, Cocoon fell broke away from the crystals slowly clashing down to Gran Pulse causing a gigantic wave killing all life quickly…
No one tried to stop it, or at least they tried to… But, what caused this? What made this happen?
Only time can tell…
Lightning opened her eyes, looking at the clear sky as the afternoon sun made slight orange complexion of her face. She turns to her friends as they just ended their battle with the grand fal'Cie… She placed her hand on her chest and felt like there was something more to this.
"Light!" Serah turned to see Lightning and noticed her gone… Nowhere in sight, but she was just there. How could she run off?
"Forgive me Serah, but things are needed to be taken care of. Sometimes, you can't always keep what you seem to gain. Just follow the path to what you desire, be happy, I've caused enough trouble for you… If I don't come back, move on." Lightning's voice echoed through the sky, not being heard from none of the others, but they could feel it in their hearts.
A path left untaken… A start of anew, something's not right, and it must be fixed. Despite of what they went through, years went by. They moved on, felt like the tension was loosening up. But the scar is left on their hearts, of what they experienced 5 years ago. But Lightning wasn't found, Snow tried to make Serah not worry and let it go. But the feeling inside Serah didn't stop her, she knew in her heart she was out there. She knew she needed to find her.
And the story begins once again…
