This is a short fanfic about the Kingsglaive before the events of Final Fantasy XV. I hope you enjoy it! I loved that movie and wish it could have been longer. The characters really affected me and when the movie ended my brain started up. And this is what came of it…
Please Review!
The Lucian Border…
"We're getting our asses kicked out here!" Libertus yelled, taking cover behind a broken stone wall.
"No need to state the obvious," Luche said hovering behind another stone wall.
"They definitely don't pay us enough for this," Nyx called, appearing before Libertus behind the barrier.
"Well, at least Crowe is getting somewhere with the other mages," Libertus gestured to the wall seeing Crowe focusing on the fiery tornado her and the other mages were cooking up.
Libertus was about to speak again, but gasped as Nyx pulled him out of the way of a bullet.
"Looks like I owe you another one, hero," Libertus said and Nyx chuckled and patted his friend on the back.
Then he touched his earpiece.
"Cy, what's your status?" Nyx asked.
"Currently? I'm dominating my section of the battlefield. Why, do you need my assistance?" Cy asked after a moment.
Nyx smirked lightly at her playful tone.
"I think we got it covered," he said chuckling.
"Is my brother with you?" she asked and Nyx looked at Luche.
"Yeah, he's here," he said.
"Good, I'll see you guys soon," she said slicing into another solider with her gunblade.
It was her favorite weapon, both a gun and a blade imbued with the King's magic to allow her to warp.
After a while it looked like Lucis had taken the lead and was winning the battle, when Niflheim unleashed two large demonic entities upon them. Crowe and the other mages controlling the fiery tornado dropped in defeat one by one. In the ensuing chaos, a retreat was ordered.
"I'm ordering a full retreat! Fall back!" General Titus Drautos gave the order and the Kingsglaive began to retreat without question.
Nyx was running back when he turned, seeing his friend, whose leg was currently trapped under a boulder.
"The order was to retreat, Ulric!" Luche snapped, but Nyx took off for Libertus anyway.
"Nyx!" Crowe yelled as Pelna pulled her towards the safe zone.
Cy reached the safe zone, sheathed her gunblade, and looked around.
"Cy, Nyx went back for Libertus!" Crowe yelled and Cy turned quickly, seeing Nyx and Libertus still on the battlefield.
Cy was about to go and assist when she overheard Pelna speaking to Tredd.
"Where's Luche? I didn't see him come back," Pelna said to him looking around.
Cy's eyes scanned the battlefield and widened.
Luche was limping towards them, trying to move as fast as he could. General Glauca walked a few feet behind him, stalking his prey. Cy took off, launching her gunblade into the air towards Luche.
"Cy!" Crowe screamed.
Cy raced past Nyx and Libertus, who were currently making their way back. Nyx's head snapped up seeing her warp by them.
"Cy, what—"
"—Luche get down!" she yelled and Luche dropped to the ground as Cy launched her gunblade towards him.
She appeared beside him and her blade effectively blocked Glauca's blade from impaling her brother. The sheer brute strength of the General before her was enough to intimidate the most fearless warrior. Cy's blade shook as she struggled to keep it stable. Luche stared up from the ground wide eyed, shock keeping him frozen in place. Her earpiece was on fire, voices yelling over voices. She blocked them out. Glauca pushed off his blade and she stumbled back, just able to block another hit.
"Luche, get up and move!" she managed to yell to him before getting knocked back.
Glauca turned to Luche and Cy's eyes widened.
She threw her weapon and caught his blade with hers again, blocking her brother from death yet again. Her hand bled as she held the blade back with her own, her blood trailing down her arm from where she put the extra effort to hold off the large blade. She was able to knock it back and slammed her helmet into his in an effective head butt. It caused the General to stumble back and Cy whirled around and grabbed Luche, pulling him to his feet and shoving him forward.
"Go!" she yelled at him and he finally got his feet moving, taking off in the other direction.
She began to follow when Glauca appeared beside them and swung his blade. Cy knocked Luche forward and felt Glauca's blade slice into her side, cutting right through the armor. She cried out as Glauca grabbed her by the helmet and slammed her into a stone wall holding her there. He raised his blade and Cy braced herself when a body slammed into Glauca roughly, taking him off his feet. She dropped to the ground and felt someone pull her up.
"Cy, come on, we have to move!" Nyx called to her and they both warped away to the safe zone.
They arrived by the team, watching as the wounded were being helped into the vans to head back to Insomnia. Libertus was on a stretcher with Crowe beside him.
"That was insane! Cy, you fought off General Glauca! General Glauca!" Crowe laughed in disbelief.
"You're a real badass," Libertus complimented.
"Yeah, you have fun out there showing off?" Nyx mused and then his smirk vanished as Cy dropped to one knee startling everyone.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Nyx asked crouching down and steadying her.
Silence.
"Cy," Nyx said removing her helmet carefully.
Her dark brown, sweat dampened hair fell messily into her eyes and she looked at him, seeing the concern spread over his face. He touched her head, wiping some blood off from the side.
"I'm fine," she said and his eyes searched hers.
"Cy, you're bleeding," Crowe said panicked and Nyx looked down seeing her holding her side tightly.
"Damn it, I didn't see you take the hit. Why didn't you say anything?" Nyx asked placing his hand over hers and applying pressure.
Cy closed her eyes tightly and leaned her forehead against his shoulder, a quiet painful moan escaping her lips.
"You're going to be alright," he whispered in her ear comfortingly.
"Cyla!" Luche called running over and she looked up and forced a smile.
"I'm fine," she tried, but Luche shook his head.
"You're going to the hospital now. Can you walk?" he asked and Nyx slowly helped her up.
"I got her," Nyx said and Luche nodded.
"It's just a scratch," she mused weakly and Nyx looked at her.
She knew he was upset, but he hid it well.
"I'm going to be fine," she said quiet, but firm.
It was one of the things he loved most about her. That fire in her spirit. He smiled.
"I know that. Forever until the end, right?" he said and she nodded without hesitation.
"Right," she said and they got into the van.
Drautos was there and he looked displeased to say the least.
"You're both being reassigned. Ulric, you're on west gate duty. Lazarus, you'll be spending your time tomorrow at the hospital patching up your comrades and yourself," he said clearly annoyed.
Silence.
Cyla turned to Nyx and smiled lightly.
"Want to switch? I've been told my bedside manner could use some work," she mused and it got him to chuckle quietly.
Please review so I know how you all feel about it!
