A few things to note before you read:

Truth be told, I haven't seen much of Xenoblade Chronicles so I have no idea about what's the main plot of the storyline. Don't worry though; as I will be watching a play through as I write this fanfiction so I will know what's going on as I write.

The reason for keeping this a bit blind as I write because I've seen so many SI that knew all about the game, but I wanted to do something knew.

So how about placing somebody that has no idea what the world is and have them go through the main story mode?

Anyway, let's get going onto the story.

Chapter 1: Where The Flux am I?

Oh how I love hanging out in the park. The cool breeze, the sun keeping you at the right temperature and how life couldn't be any better. That's where I was after another day in school, resting out in the park minding my own business. I was wearing my iconic thin black jacket with the hoodie down and underneath it was my purple shirt. My boot-cut jeans reached just at my heels with my dark blue and white shoes along with white socks underneath. With the wind going through my hair, I thought nothing of anything and closed my eyes, going into my mind and wandering in my thoughts. My mind kept me occupied as I forget the world around me and I do think I should have been paying attention, because the next thing I knew my eyes opened up to a night sky not in the park I was in.

"What the-?" I asked getting up from the grass field I was on, "When did I get here?"

My shoulder-length dark brown-almost black hair blew in the nighttime breeze as my slightly dark green eyes scanned the field around me, as I knew for a fact I wasn't on Earth anymore. The world around me wasn't one that I recognized right away, but the beauty of nature took my breathe away. I was focusing on my surrounding so much that I didn't even see something on the ground, which I did in fact trip on.

"Yikes! Ow~! What did I just trip on-?!"

I looked down to where my feet were and my eyes widen seeing what looked to be some kind of small bracelet. It wasn't too big or small for me, but just right for me and I decided to keep it on my right wrist for the time being. The bracelet was a dark blue color like my shoes, but it had golden and white carving in a unique pattern. Just as I released my hand from the bracelet, I held what sounded to be noises of faint screams and mechanical noises. Turning towards the direction, I didn't know if I should have run that way, but I needed to get to cover, which wasn't anywhere in the field. Taking a deep breathe, I began to run to find someplace to hide.

As I ran, I noticed how different this place was from Earth and by this; I deduced that I wasn't on Earth anymore but someplace else. I passed by many creatures as more of the objects fell from the sky; my only concern was getting to cover. My eyes looked up and saw a town begin attacked by robotic beings. I froze in my tracks, seeing the robotic beings going after people and… eating them?!

"What in the world's going on here?!" I asked looking at the scene before noticing a glow on the bracelet I wore, "Oh now what?!"

Looking down, I saw a weird symbol upon my bracelet. Before I knew it, a blade appeared in my right hand, looking a bit familiar to me, though I couldn't tell why. It looked like my bracelet in terms of colors, but it was very weird and unique in its old right. It didn't look like it had a blade of its own, but it looked blunt enough with the blunt end being longer and shorter than by the grip, which had weird multi-layered glass in a shape of a diamond. Nothing was glowing, but the next thing I knew I heard footsteps and voices coming from behind me.

"Look Shulk, somebody's by the entrance!" A female voice said behind me.

The trio came from behind my but before they could ask anything we heard another scream and saw somebody else being eaten alive by another one of the robotic creatures.

"They're eating people!" The fair-haired boy exclaimed as the four of us saw it dragging off the body.

"It's horrible," The female replied before she noticed how nervous and terrified I was, "Hey are you alright?"

"Well… besides the facts there are robotic creatures about eating people and waking up here…" I said wandering off in my thoughts a bit, "I think… I-I'm mostly ok… I'm not hurt after all."

"That's good; Mechon usually attack all Homs in the area."

"To be fair, I did wake in a field not too far from here…"

Homs? Mechon? I've never heard those words used before… except for Homs… but from where?

"Say, I've never seen a Hom like you wearing those clothes before," the other young man said looking at me, "Where do you come from anywhere?"

"I think now's not the time for questions… Because those… Mechons don't look so friendly…"

"Is Dunban ok?" The blonde one asked looking towards a house with an open door.

"Fiora! Go check up on him!" The other man said to the girl behind them.

"Ok!"

The girl ran off just as one of the Mechons came towards us.

"Heads up Reyn!" The blonde guy said before looking over at me, "Can you fight?"

"I… think so… Though I've never actually fought a real battle before…" I replied, looking at my blade, "But I guess there's a first for everything; I'll just keep in the back."

"I'm Shulk by the way and he's Reyn. You?"

"I… You may call me Neetz."

"Well then Neetz, if this thing wants a fight," Reyn said stretching his right arm, "Then let's give it one."

Taking a deep breathe, I said both guys get their weapons and charge at the creature. I stayed mostly in the back, sometimes helping them up as they took it out. It was when Reyn struck it from the bottom did it collapse in a heap. Both of them were panting as I can from behind them, my weapon fading away into my bracelet… Weird technology.

"See? Didn't stand a chance," Reyn said laughing a bit.

"That seemed way too easy," I said looking at them, "Um… Are these creatures that easily defeated?"

"It's not Neetz. We've disabled it, but only for now. It'll reactivate soon!"

"I knew there had to be a catch to these things…"

"You're talking like you've never seen one in your life," Reyn said looking at me, "Where do you come from exactly that doesn't know about Mechons?"

"That's… a long story…"

Just then Shulk looked towards the house before we all saw Fiora running to us.

"Where's Dunban?" Shulk asked her.

"He's gone! I can't find him anywhere," She replied before looking at me, "Is she alright? She looks nervous."

"Just a bit shaken from battle," Shulk replied, "Her first time actually fighting."

"What?" Reyn asked her, "He ain't fit to face those things!"

"Reyn, let's get to the lab," Shulk said to him.

"The lab? Of course! The Monado's there!"

"Exactly. The Monado can take out Mechon."

The two boys quickly headed off to the lab as Fiora and I just watched them go for a few feet before Fiora went after them. Were they seriously going to go in with those crazy machines? I was frozen for a few seconds as they ran off and only until I just barely saw them did I have to make one choice I'd never forget. As I thought that staying alone wasn't going to help me survive, I ran after them.

~Xenoblade Chronicles: Rewind~

I somehow got lost inside the market area – or at least I think I was in that area dodging Mechons left and right. Whenever one of those Mechons showed up, I managed to dodge and at least escape unharmed. Though I wanted to rescue other people, there wasn't anybody left as I continued to find myself lost. One way or another, I stopped inside a small area after escaping to here something crashing down far away. I flinched hearing it before I looked around, trying to figure out what I should do. I could go find Shulk and his friends… but then again I'm lost…

Just then my eyes widen as everything around me changed, showing me a bridge and a fight between two machines… One with a face… the other with… Fiora?!

As soon as it came it left, sending many questions to my head: What was that? Who was that robot fighting Fiora? What was she doing? Where were the others? Before I even ask question pains shot up from the bracelet on my wrist, sending my world plunging into darkness.

~Xenoblade Chronicles: Rewind~

I awoke feeling a killer headache and on a bed… Wait what?! Wanting to awake fully, I tried to force my body to do so, but to know avail. Mentally sighing, I had to let my body do its thing and not long after did I wake up, only to see a man looking over me.

"I see you're awake now," He said as I blinked a few times, "You know, you worried Shulk and Reyn a lot…"

"…And you… are?" I asked sitting up before holding my head, "Ow… this headache…"

"Hey, rest easy now; you're luck that you're even alive. If Shulk didn't find you when he did, you would have been a goner."

"Shulk… Shulk! I-Is he alright?!" I asked, "I-I mean… Are Reyn and Fiora alright as well…?"

"Reyn and Shulk are fine… but Fiora…" He said before wandering off, "…She's gone…"

"W-What?!"

"Don't cry about it; Shulk's already taking it hard…"

"Oh, I see… Say are you… the Dunban guy Shulk was talking about?"

"Yes, I am… And if I'm correct you're not from around here…"

"Yeah… you could say that… But where are the boys?"

"They're going off to chase after the Mechon that killed Fiora."

"…Really?!" I asked before sighing, feeling my headache getting slightly worse after getting better, "Argh~! I'll never understand boys…"

"And I don't think I'll ever understand women…"

"Yeah, I'm not surprised Dunban… Wait are the boys going alone by themselves?"

"They are."

"D-Don't you think it's dangerous for them to go after that thing? I-I mean you know… Are you really letting them go off alone?"

"Listen Neetz, Shulk and Reyn can take care of themselves. Besides I couldn't stop them, even if I could."

"…This is why boys shouldn't go alone Dunban… Say, where are the boys?"

"Oh, they're going to head out right about now; let me guess… You're going to go after them?"

"Well… I can't just stay here; I… like to travel a lot and why not tag along with them for awhile… Besides I am on a journey of my own."

"And what's that?"

"It's… something personal, but I can tell you that where I come from, it's different than Colony 9."

"Well then, you better get going or you'll be left behind, though keep an eye on your headache."

"Really? Thanks Dunban!"

Getting up, I ran down the stairs and out the door, just as both boys turned around towards the exit. Bolting out the door, I knew that something about the boys drawn me towards them.

"Shulk! Reyn!" I called out, "Hey wait up!"

"N-Neetz! What are you doing here?!" Shulk exclaimed seeing me, "Aren't you suppose to be resting?!"

"Dunban allowed me to come with you two boys. After all if anybody's going to be making sure you two aren't getting into trouble it should be me."

"But Neetz-!"

"No buts Shulk! Even if you both don't like it I'm coming as well!"

"…Alright, but just don't get yourself into trouble."

"Sure thing Shulk!"

Smiling, the three of us headed off to new lands. Despite my limited knowledge of this world, they were my best bet that if it was a game, they had to be the main storyline… and they might return me home. If not though… Why not get along with some people if I'm stuck here for a long time… I'll blend in quicker, but I do hope I'll return home soon…
