*THOUSANDS OF RANDOM SCREAMS SAYING I DON'T OWN FFXV OR IT'S CHARACTERS AND THAT THEY BELONG TO SQUARE ENIX RESOUND*

The crown city was falling apart around the Citadel, the sounds of people screaming, running for their lives filled the air mixed with the sounds of war ships and explosions.

Inside the Citadel was another matter, King Regis and General Glauca were facing off, their blades grating against each other causing a horrendous metal sound. In one fluid motion, Glauca sliced at the ring as it tumbled from the monarch's finger….rolling to the floor, stopping in front of two metal boots.

Leaning down to pick it up, a smile of satisfaction crossed the pale man's face as he beheld the small source of power in his hand. Blue eyes that were void of light for twelve years now sparking with hope.

"The ring of the Lucii…."

He breathed, remnants of an accent that they had tried so desperately to rid him of, tinging his voice. The Oracle's son raised his eyes to glare at King Regis and Glauca. "I lost my mother…my country…my birthright….Niflheim was the only life left to me." Familiar sounding footsteps rang in the hall behind him but he payed it no mind. His focus was on the ring. This was his ascension.

"But all that was for this! The ring belongs to me now."

The ring slid onto his finger as Glauca leapt at him at the very moment Lunafreya and Nyx ran into the room. Time seemed to freeze to the Tenebraen as an ethereal light filled the room-turning his pale blonde hair into gold.

"Hear me Lucian Kings of old! For I am Ravus Nox Fleuret! And none is more worthy of your power than I!"

"Brother no!" Lunafreya cried as Glauca's sword arched closer to his head in real time. She would not make it in time to save him but…

"Nyx! Please! Stop the General!" She cried and ran over to King Regis' crumpled form. Nyx nodded and prepared to warp strike when Glauca was suddenly thrown back, hitting the wall with a sickening crunch. His mouth dropped open in surprise and he looked around, wondering who hit the metal man. "No, this was not ordained…." Lunafreya breathed softly as she roused King Regis. Slowly and deliberately, Ravus rose to his feet, hand crackling with magic as his breath came in short gasps. "So….this is what the Lucian power is like…" he marveled and cast his arm out towards Glauca, "This is for my mother, you worthless creature!" he snarled as Glauca screamed in agony, Death was a spell that warped the body before they vanished into nothing more-granting the user their life energy.

The helmet fell from his face, revealing the traitor Titus Dratos before he imploded with a final cry of pain and anger. "Ravus…" Regis shaky voice broke the silence as the man turned to him. "The king who abandoned us." Ravus coldly said and advanced. King Regis' gaze never faltered as Lunafreya begged Ravus to see reason. "I have done you and your sister wrong…I should have saved you." Regis croaked causing Ravus' steps to falter.

"Out of my…many mistakes….this….this was the one I regret the most." The king averted his gaze to the ground as Ravus came to a stop in front of him. The young man took a shaky breath as King Regis continued. "I know…that it does not mean much, but please…I beg for your forgiveness.." Ravus blinked and looked away before speaking in a low tone. "I respected you, admired you…to me, you were the father I was deined." Lunafreya watched with surprise as her brother kneeled next to King Regis. "For you to leave like I was nothing to you, like my mother and country was nothing to you….it was more than I could bear." He whispered softly as King Regis' eyes flickered with sorrow. "Please, my son…we can start again. You were meant for great things…such is why you were accepted by the ring." Ravus looked away, trying to grasp at the offer. Bitterness keeping him from replying-from giving in to the scared little boy who was desperate for love buried beneath the cold, dark, commander who was stained with blood.

"Guys, as much as I hate to interrupt this touching moment, the empire has new drop ships coming." Nyx's frank voice broke the tense silence. Ravus made up his mind. "Carry your king, glaive. Lunafreya will be in my care." Ravus ordered. "Ravus, you are stronger than Nyx and I am lighter than Regis." Lunafreya protested. "Surely it would be wise if the roles were indeed switched?"

Ravus narrowed his eyes. "I do not trust his warp striking abilities…." He muttered, although Nyx heard and made a protest from the background.

"They are stronger than yours since it is power gifted by the king himself."

Ravus nodded and glanced at Nyx. "I am trusting her life into your hands. Do not fail me." He shortly said and picked up King Regis. "I need you to warp strike onto that carrier once they drop the next wave of soldiers. I shall be short behind." Nyx glanced at Lunafreya, at her nod signifying he was trustworthy he picked her up and warped. Ravus waited until he saw that they had landed safely upon their destination, he took a running head start and jumped through the broken window, blue magic crackled around him-jerkily warping them onto the ship. Nyx and Regis seemed stunned as Ravus said nothing but to open up a hatch and drop in. Metal piercing metal was heard and Ravus beckoned for Nyx and Lunafreya to join them. He laid King Regis upon a bench and headed to the controls. "Tend to him Lunafreya." She nodded and hurried to the King's side. Ravus stared at them in confusion as Nyx came up behind him. "Geez, you Tenebrae folk sure don't know how to drive." Nyx huffed and sat down before the elder Nox Fleuret could

"Where to?" Nyx asked to the inhabitants of their airship. Ravus looked away, not wanting to admit that he hadn't thought that through. "We must find a place where the Empire cannot locate us." Lunafreya said as King Regis propped himself up, stronger now as evident by the commanding tone in his voice.

"Hammerhead."

Ok, so before I get protests that "RAVUS CAN'T WARP! YOU'RE JUST MAKING STUFF UP AND THAT'S SO WRONG! YOU'RE A BAD WRITER FOR TAING CREATIVE LIBERTIES!" Let me say this, in Ravus' list of abilities it says he can use Armiger Arsenal. If you look up Ravus Nox Flueret and you look at the wiki page result it will say Armiger Arsenal by his abilities on the summary.

So if that is true and Ravus can use it, I see no reason why he couldn't warp strike as well!

I hope you enjoyed! The Chocobros will be joining them soon!
