Chapter 1: New Faces

Marche, Ritz, Shara, and Montblanc all sat at the edge of a dock, just watching. They had left their clans and made clan maddox, a 10 person clan. Marche was now 18, Ritz 19, Shara was 23, and Montblanc was...well who gives a shit. Marche, an expert soldier and paladin, had been going steady with Ritz, an expert summoner and red mage, for a month now. Shara was an expert sniper and assassin and Montblanc an expert black/time mage. He had won the magic tourney three years straight and was famous as the king of mages. They sat with Babus and Mewt, who had absorbed Llednar and gained all his powers, except the shield. Mewt was 17, and had become almost as strong magically as Montblanc, and physically as Marche. Jang, an expert ninja/thief, sat between Kent, an expert morpher/beast master, and Istivan, an expert gladiator/dragoon. Ezel Berbier, the final member, was at work at his shop.

"What's that?" Shara said suddenly. A large, unfamiliar looking ship approached the next dock over. It had a large, iron ram on the front and red markings on the side in a sun and moon type design. It stopped next to the dock and a large unloading bridge was put up to the side. As the gang watched, four strange people got off. The first was a young girl in a dark blue robe. She actually floated of the ground. She glared at Montblanc, and he got a chill down his spine. The second was a about Marche's size and wore a black robe. He looked at Marche and only Marche noticed that his eye changed from blue to red. The third was a tall man a few inches taller than Marche, and wore a dark green robe and a darker green mask. He looked at Mewt and Mewt noticed claws on his wrist. The Final one was a large man in a dark red robe. He was big as in muscular, and had a large sword and a large morning star on his back in a criss-cross. He looked at Ritz as if he had been her rival for years.

The next day☼

"What was that. Who were they?" Ritz asked the ship's captain in the pub. "And why did they look at us like that?"

"I don't know, but they were running from the law in Ansalma (the country the ship sailed to Ivalice from), so I'm surprised the ship's owner let them on."

"That girl in the blue was kinda weird, kupo" said Montblanc. "I could feel a lot of magical energy in her, kupo. I think she might present herself as a challenge, kupo."

"And that guy in the red was huge." Ritz added "He looked at me like I had offended him or something."

"That guy in the green was strange." Mewt exclaimed. "I wonder what their problem is."

Marche began talking to Talk, leader of the High Rollers, a clan of rich people who payed other clans to do work for them. After an hour or so of debating between the Maddox main members, Marche returned and told what he found out. "They have come here to make some easy money. They're wanted in three other countries for various crimes. Their home country, Claddack, wants them for multiple petty thefts. In Liandre, They're wanted for three counts of assault and one count of murder. In Ansalma though, They committed seventeen murders, two kidnappings, and a theft of an air ship. The airship was destroyed when they rammed it into the Ansalma Royal Palace." the others were shocked. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. "I don't know what they're planning, but whatever it is, it threatens all of Ivalice."
