Hey all, next chapter in my story, long time coming I know. But when you are working on perfecting you Kingdom Hearts Stories, time flies...
Anywho,
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FINAL FANTASY XIII. Though that would be sweet.
"L'Cie, full points on originality, but don't try and think thats going to fool me into agreeing to your marriage." Lightning said with a mock laugh. Lightning had pink hair and blue eyes just like Serah and mom, I got dads brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. we all had the same facial features except my eyes were a teensy bit bigger and my cheeks were a little fuller. Light had her military clothes on, which i don't know how its military, with a skirt long vest/jacket with short sleeves, all tan or brown except for the shoulder pauldron and the red cape. She also wore boots. Serah wore your typical school girl outfit with a plaid skirt and sleeveless shirt, she wore high tops. i had in a tank top blouse with a corset around my middle and extra high-tops. I went with the blue and white look. me and light had our hair thrown to one side, but my hair is a bit longer.
" Hey don't yell at her-" Snow started
" So she becomes a L'Cie and you pop the question?" She interrupted getting angry. " Best birthday ever." I watched all this while leaning on the counter, trying not to believe what I was hearing. I watched in sadness as Serah ran out the door choking on tears. Snow looked at Light opened his mouth, then closed clearly wanting to keep his life and followed Serah.
" Light, she was telling the truth," I said, she tsked and turned her back to me. I couldn't stand the fighting so I ran outside to the beach. Lightning didn't follow. I was stopped by an obvious PSICOM solider, who held a gun up to my face. He looked at my corporal pauldron on my right shoulder and lowered the gun.
" Miss, you shouldn't be here, this is PSICOM business, you know for the purge?" He whispered gesturing to the people in line, thats when i saw NORA ( Maqui, Leberau,Gadot and SNOW?). I had to get on that train.
" Well purge me then, wouldn't want to break your commanders rules," I said holding my gun blade out, me and Light were quite handy with it. He looked at the sword then at me and nodded. Two soldiers grabbed my arms and started dragging me to the train station. I shook them off stating I could walk.
When I got my robe and was sent on the train I ended up sitting next to Snow. He looked at me and did a double take.
" What are you doing here?" He exclaimed, I kicked him to shut him up.
" Getting purged, duh. Wheres Serah?" I hissed, he looked at me sadly.
" Anima took her. I'm going to go get her." He muttered smacking his fist into his palm.
" Don't you have to get off this train first?" I pointed out.
" I'll find a way."
When we reached the Hanging Edge there was an immediate jolt. Lightning, I thought to myself. Of course she wouldn't let me and Serah go without a fight. But she needs some assistance, When the guard turned his back to me i jumped on his back and snapped his neck.
Everyone in the room was deathly silent.
" Thank you," I said as I grabbed my blade and sheathed it. Everyone in the car looked stunned. I grabbed the guards gun and threw it to Snow. " Let's move!"
I started running to the back of the car to meet more PSICOM soldiers. I unsheathed my sword and sliced them to their deaths. " Everyone Grab a Grav mechanism and Jump on my go." They all grabbed one and stood my the windows. NORA looked shocked, I was calm. " and... GO." I jumped, feeling the adrenaline rush through my Veins.I activated the Mechanism and landed gracefully, others not so much.
" Damn," Snow panted. " When did you learn all that?"
" Since I've been in the guardian corps." I replied looking around for troops that would start coming.
" I'll take it from here Kid," he said gathering people up, and added," I see more people over there, lets go." We ran to the people from the train car behind us some still had robes on some didn't. Which reminded me I needed to take mine off, so I did.
" The PSICOM soldiers aren't going to let us go easy. Do I have any volunteers for anyone to join?" Snow asked the people sitting down in front of us. A few men came up and took guns from the members of NORA. One of the robed one took it off and it turned out to be someone very familiar.
" I'll take one," The familiar boy said, it was... Hope! I just stared at him, with wide shocked eyes. A woman came up, she was obviously his mother.
" Me as well," she said.
" No mom," he said looking worried
" I'll be fine," she replied smiling at him, then she looked at me and said, " Nice to meet you." Obviously Hope had talked about me, that was kind of flattering.
" You as well," I said smiling back.
" Amy and..." Snow looked at Hope asking for a name, clearly oblivious to the exchange.
" Hmm, I wonder what snow would've done."
" Hope," he said.
" Stay here and guard the Purgees, i'll take this group."
" Bu-" Hope and I said in unison.
" Just do it!" I glared at him, But walked to go help the group get up and on their feet Gadot joined us. Hopes mom looked at him and waved as she followed Snow, and he looked after her worried.
We took the survivors to a safe area by a large crane type thing. While watching over the people I watched the skies for an bombardments from passing ships.
" How'd you get purged?" Hope asked while coming to stand next to me.
" I walked on the beach this afternoon, and PSICOM caught me." I sighed.
" But your military." he pointed out, " They don't get purged."
" Hmm then you can say I went willingly." I said then added, " Hmm, looks like our date is ah... postponed?"
" You can say that," he laughed. We both jumped up at an explosion 200 ft in front of us. Snow and Nora (i figured out) Hopes mom were dangling off the edge of a bridge, Snow hanging on to her. She started slipping farther and farther from his hand until she fell. Hope looked on in shock.
" NO!" I heard Snow yell, I looked at Hope who's eyes were wide with grief.
" Come on Hope we have to move!" I said pulling him, he wouldn't budge. I had to slap him to get his attention,
" Come on!" I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him, he finally started to run with me, a missile blew up where we were just standing, we got blown forward. I ran to a hoover craft and stopped. " Can you drive this thing?"
" Uh- yeah," he said still looking stunned.
" Well, lets go!" I said pushing him on it.
" I-I can't do it," He said grabbing the controls but looking completely lost. I got on behind him and put my arms around his waist to comfort and hold on for dear life. He twitched as practically hugged him, "um..." he said dumbly.
" What?" I asked, knowing he was slightly uncomfortable I also added, " you can do it Hope i'm sure your mom didn't give her life away so you can waste yours." He seemed to calm down a bit and shrugged.
" HEY!" Gadot yelled, " What are you guys doin'?
" Now would be a very good time to leave!" I urged nervously. He started the cycle and we zoomed off. Our fates were about to get much worse.
" Damn," I hissed as the craft got shot at again. I felt Amy's grip tighten at the obvious blow. " Were still good." I added, for a military corporal she was terribly afraid of heights.
" Sure, whatever," She mumbled into my shirt where she had hidden her face the past five minutes, It was very distracting. " You do realize we could crash if I suffocate from your vice grip," I joked trying to lighten the dark mood we were both in.
" Ya, when you land on Anima, absolutely." She hissed not enjoying my humor, I chuckled, which got stopped short when just as we reached the entrance a bullet hit our engines and we flew ungracefully into the ark type thing for a crash landing. I blacked out as soon as we hit the floor.
I was however shaken awake by a worried voice, " Hope? Hope!" Amy said gently then vigorously shaking me awake. I open my eyes to see her frown and then sigh in relief. " Thank God, i was worried."
" I'm fine," I said getting up.
" Are you?" She asked crossing her arms. I know what she meant and I wasn't, but I wasn't going to let her know.
" Yea," I say with and attempt at being nonchalant.
"Ok... Hope look out!" She yelled as I grabbed my sword and spun to block the attack which turned out to be a Cieth. She immediately ran up and stabbed it to officially defeat it. I noticed her just staring at it, but she just shook her head. "It's nothing, lets go."
We walked into a room where a battle was being taken place by a woman with pink hair and a man with an Afro both looking extremely tired from the rounds of Cieth.
" Lightning!" she gasped and ran over to her taking out the to remaining cieth.
"Amy!" the pink haired obviously military woman exclaimed. Amy ran up to Lightning and engulfed her in a hug, which left shock on the woman's face.
" Sis, I was so scared," Amy whimpered, " this thing took Serah and I was mad at the fighting so I ran away. I got caught by PSICOM but they were gonna let me go, so i volunteered."
" Don't worry we'll get serah back," lightning said patting her hair. I could see why they were sisters they had the same face except the hair and eyes were complete opposites. Lightning looked this way and saw me watching, " Who's this?"
" Hope Estheim," Amy replied staring at the man with the afro, " and who are you Sir?"
" The name is Sazh, pleasure to meet you, I just hope your attitude isn't the same as your sisters." he said, Amy giggled and Lightning glared. Amy turned around and walked over to me.
" Are you coming?" she asked, I nodded slightly nervous to meet her obviously dangerous sister.
" Is he that boy you like?" Lightning asked nonchalant.
" I- what? how?" she stuttered. Hmm she talks about me?
" Your eyes get all moony." Lightning replied with a smirk. This was an interesting piece of information, yet oddly welcome.
" Can we just get a move on?" Amy hissed her cheeks a dark red.
Okay, obviously there are slight changes to the plot, but hey thats what fanfics are for right?
