A/N: Alright, this isn't really my first fic. But I'm still a noob in writing stories so please forgive me for some errors. This fic may contain OOCness. I do not own Final Fantasy XIII, Versus XIII, X-2 and VII. :)

Chapter One :

.The Beginning of Trouble.

"Cid over." A woman whispered through her walkie talkie as she slyly hid herself in the dark and hide-able side of the hallway. "Yeah?" was the response from the radio. She refrained herself from talking as a couple of guards were passing by.

"I'm already here." She replied, seeing the guards disappear from her sight.

"Great job, Lightning. Now, you know what to do."

"Yeah, yeah. Go head for the backstage climb above and look if he's there." She looked at the backstage door. There were two guards behind it. She could just sense it.

"That's right and when you do see him you-"

"I'm not a kid, Cid. Quit it." She glared at the walkie talkie as if it was Cid.

"Ha...ha. Man, you should control your temper, Light. Sheesh." He replied childishly, emphasizing the word "control". Lightning just rolled her eyes. She could hear Cid chuckling on the other line.

"Alright, alright. I'll shoot him when I see him."

"Good luck with that Light."

She smirked and ran like a ninja. Each step she take didn't leave a sound. She zipped her black spy clothing and revealed a normal and casual one. She wore an I.D. around her neck with the word "PRESS" printed on it and carried a professional looking camera. She knocked on the door. The door opened and revealed a man in black with black sunglasses. Lightning showed her I.D. He, then, gave way to her.

"Wait."

Lightning turned back at him. Did he find out? She sighed heavily. "Wh-What?"

"The camera. No picture taking."

She gave him the camera and sighed in relief. That was close. She paused for a while and felt her stomach starting to whine. It must be Serah's pie. It stopped, fortunately. She quickly ran to backstage and sneaked her way up above the stage. She grabbed the gun that was hidden with her.

"Cid. I'm here."

"Good. Did you see him?"

She began to look for the criminal and spotted a man in black. He was near the performers on stage...specifically, he was one of them.

"Ring ding dong ring ding dong diggi diggi ding ding ding" The song went as the singers and performers danced to it. Including the criminal with his face emotionless. Her eyes turned to the singers. They were quite young and wore black. The five of them didn't show any signs of stress or tiredness from dancing and singing. She heard a chuckle from her walkie talkie.

"I didn't know you like SHINee." Cid teased as if he was with her. Her eyes narrowed. "For your information, I don't know who they are or what they are singing about and I don't care what it meant. If you're here, then show up already!" She said loudly, enough to get everyone's attention if the music weren't so loud. She took a glance at the criminal, watching every inch of his move. He started to pull something off his pockets. Lightning narrowed her eyes and widened them as she saw what it was. A smoke bomb.

As she was about to shift herself to action, the bars can barely hold her anymore and broke. This send her falling into the ground. She closed her eyes and found herself landing on something soft.

"Yah! Noona! I'm never going to grow manlier and taller than my hyungs!" Said the youngest singer. The music immediately stopped and everyone's eyes fell on her. Luckily, this stopped the criminal from throwing the bomb. Lightning was quick to snapped herself from shock and gave the criminal a swift punch in the stomach. He flinched and the bomb dropped to the floor then gave off the smoke.

Shoot.

People started to run for their lives. Some of the performers ran but the singers remained, confused of what's going on. Lightning coughed and searched for the criminal. She caught sight of him. She quickly got her gunblade and shoot him in the foot. He fell unto his knees. "Tch."

She smirked but it faded away as he showed a time bomb from his pockets. Now it was his turn to smirk. He threw it towards them and tried to escape but his injury was still keeping him to the ground. "Sayonara biatch." He said while struggling to escape.

"You gotta get out of here now!"

"Noona! We can't leave you h-" The guards quickly shoved SHINee to safety. As for Lightning, she quickly ran from the stage and the place went BOOM!

Lightning woke up and found herself in the hospital bed. How did she end up here? Oh yeah.

BOOM!

"HAHAHAHAHA! SO LONG SUCKERS!" with that the criminal jumped on the chopper. Lightning threw him a rock and knocked him unconscious. Short temper much?

Her head started to spin and eventually the world became black.

Yep. She fainted. But the good thing is her headache eased and also her stomach. She made a note to herself that Serah's apple pie is bad for her especially eating it before her mission. She examined the room. It was quite spacious and neat and it seems like she's the only person in the room.

"OMG! I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE!" Vanille glomped her, much to Lightning's surprise. On the second thought...

"Oh Vanille. It was just an injury." Fang said, giving her cousin a slight BAM! on the head. "Light! I'm glad you're okay." Serah said running to her sister and gave her a quick hug. Oh gosh, Snow would be better if he's not-

"Hey sis!"

Tch.

Lightning gave Snow a quick death glare. Of all men, why him? Snow just ignored the glare as if it was nothing. "What happened?"

"You fell unconscious and injured your right knee. Good thing that Key called for an ambulance." Serah explained as she and Vanille had the dreamy look when she said "Key." Lightning just rolled her eyes. These two...

"And oh! Cid says he wants to talk to you."

"Now?"

"Well, he said he'll call you later." Lightning shuddered. She knew something bad was about to happen. Although her face doesn't tell what she is feeling right now, Lightning was getting nervous.

"So, did you get their autographs?"

Lightning sighed. Oh Serah and her fangirl-ness.
