Chapter 1

Ivalice

I woke up to find myself lying in an alleyway next to a building. I got up, and poked my head out from the alleyway. Outside, there were a variety of creatures, all of which I recognized from the game Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. I saw Montblanc talking to Marche about Ivalice. So I got up, dusted myself off, and walked up to Montblanc.

"Excuse me," I asked, "Do you know where the shop is? I'm new to this town."

"It's right over there, kupo," said Montblanc, point over in the other direction.

"Thank you... err..." I paused, at though going to ask him what his name was.

"It's Montblanc, kupo." said Montblanc.

"I'm Dan," I responded. "Thanks again." I walked off to the item shop, them realized I had no money. I sadly walked away, out of Cyril.


I sat down on a rock, thinking about what I would do in Ivalice. I knew everyone here, but I couldn't let them know that. I was about to try and go to sleep, when I heard a rustling noise in the bushes. I got up, and walked over to the bush.

I poked my head in, and saw a Goblin in the bushes. It stared at me, waiting for me to do something. I made a face at it, and it punched me in the face.

"OWW!" I yelped, pulling my head back from the bush. It hadn't hurt that much, but it startled me. That damn bastard was going to pay. I dived back in the bush, but saw nothing. I pulled my head back out of the bush, and scratched my head, confused. Then a chill went down my spine, as though I were being watched. I slowly turned around, and saw about 7 or 8 goblins surrounding me. I drew my sword, and shouted out "ENGAGE!" A judge on a Chocobo appeared.

"The law today forbids the use of missiles," stated the Judge. Good. I didn't use Color Magic. "Ready? BEGIN!" The judge blew his whistle, and the goblins started to move towards me. I leapt up into the air, and landed behind a goblin, and swung at him. He fell with one hit of my sword. "KO Verified, one judge point." I smiled to myself as I went after the next goblin.

I tripped on a rock, and fell to the ground. The goblins, seeing this, started to swarm me. I swung at one with my sword, knocking it back. "Judge point awarded for use of swords." Right now, I didn't really care about Judge Points, I just wanted to get away and live. They leapt onto me, and started to beat the crap out of me. The last thing I remember was seeing a bright flash of light, and hearing footsteps and a female voice telling someone nearby something. Then I blacked out.
