Chapter 2

I open my eyes, and groan "Ugh... Where am I?"

I sat up and scanned my surrounding. Well, as far as I can see, it's only trees everywhere, "A forest?"

That's when I realize my attire is different instead wearing my chochobo pajama, I wear navy blue turtle neck tanktop, black shorts with long sleeved V neck white dress, there's a slit in the middle of the dress, making the shorts visible, a white turtle neck sleeveless vest with gold lining, a pair of fingerless gloves, a pair of black combat boots and finally a katana strapped on my left hip. (Basically I wear three clothing... a tank top, a dress, lastly a vest)

"Hmmm...? More importantly, where are they?" I asked myself after finished admiring myself. Then, I heard a groan, more like someone moaning in pain.

"Can't...breath..." That's sound like Prompto's voice, but where's the said man. Once again I scan my surrounding seeing if I miss something. Nothing..nada... That's when it hit me, I am sitting in a soft land and it's warm.

'Holy... since when land become soft and warm, well, soft maybe but warm...it's impossible.'

"Beneath you." A voice like Noctis' said. I look beneath me and voila, I am sitting on Noctis' back who dog piled prompto. I squeak,

"Sorry." I scrambled on my feet and helping them.

"Finally...air..." Prompto said as he inhaled and exhaled fresh air.

"Where's our position?" Noctis asked me.

"A forest, though I don't know which one... We should get out of here first, after that I can confirm our location." 'hopefuly near Alexandria though', I mentally added.

Thankfully the forest only has one path making it easy to cross. My eyes lit up in excitement. There standing not so far away from us is Alexandria Castle. I bless my luck.

"There." I said as I pointed to the castle. "That is our first destination, Alexandria Castle. Let's go." I grinned barely containing my overloaded excitement.

"By the way, Sakuya.." Prompto called.

"Yeah?"

"What's the general story of this dimension?" He asked.

"Hmmm...Basically, the princess from Alexandria ran away from home to meet her uncle to discuss her mother's strange behaviour and then her and Zidane past were revealed...But since it's messed up I'm not really sure anymore, I think we'll know whe we met Kuja." I explained.

"That sure sounds complicated." Prompto said.

"Well, I guess..." I sighed. Finally we arrived at Alexandria. "Hmmm..." So many people, but the one I've been searching for doesn't seem to be around.

The other still in shock seeing different species talking... "Hey you two, you better get over it. There are so many different species with human language so don't freak out if you see a rat talking later." I said.

"It's still amazing, so different from our hometown." Prompto said

Suddenly, a pointy hat with blue clothing is spotted. 'Ah, he's here.' Just as I am going to glomp...er... I mean greet him, he tripped over. I rush to his side.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I'm o-okay." Vivi suttered as he got up and adjusted his hat.

"Hey kid, you dropped this." Prompto picked up a ticket.

"T-Thank you."

"Hey, you're going to see the play, right?" I asked him.

"U-um yeah.. I'm going to let the ticket booth examine the ticket." Vivi answered.

" Then let's go together." I said. 'Must resist to hug. Must resist.. resist.' I chanted endlessly in my mind.

"Hey, Sakuya, what is he?" Prompto whispered when Vivi entered the ticket booth. I motion my finger for them to come closer.

"He's a black mage, his name is Vivi. Don't slip out though, he hasn't told us his name." I whispered.

Vivi exited the booth with sad face. "What's wrong?" I asked though the answer already in the back of my mind.

"T-The ticket...i-it's fake, now I-I can't see the play anymore." Vivi sobbed.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way, we also don't have a tickets after all." I assured him.

"By the way my name is Sakuya, what's yours?"

"V-Vivi." Vivi answered timidly.

"I'm Prom-"

"The blond guy is Prompto, and the black one is noctis Lucis Caelum." I said.

"Hey" Prompto protested. "W-Wait, how did you know Noct's full name?" Prompto asked bewildered, even Noctis' eyes widened slightly.

"Remember what Aerith said." I sighed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot the whole other dimen-" I jab his rib before he could finish.

"It hurt."

"U-Um..."

"Don't worry, just call him Noctis if it's too long." I grinned.

"Okay." Vivi nodded his head.

"Anyway, let's go, we are going to see the play." I pumped my fist to the air. My excitement was cut short when I remember something important. "Ah, Prompto?" I called.

"What?"

"Don't get sidetracked and flirt with the Alexandrian soldier cause they're women." I said.

"Oh, I see"

'Not the reaction I wanted.'

"Hold it, women are soldier?" Prompto yelled causing some people threw weird glance to us.

"Don't yell! well yeah, they're soldiers, though there is pluto knight for the men. You better not understimate them or you'll be a goner." I said.

"Ha! As if I'll lose to a woman." Prompto said obviously unpleased. 'Men and their pride.' I sighed.

"Wait until you meet Beatrix." I muttered.

"Who is Beatrix?" Noctis asked. 'Oh, sharp hearing I see.

"Well, she's an enemy we should be very careful of." I answered. "S-Sakuya?" Vivi's timid voice called.

"Yes?" I answered.

"H-How will we see the play?" Vivi asked.

"Oh, right. Hey Prompto quit blabbering and come here." I called.

Hearing his name being called, blondie did as he told. "So, where are we going now?" Prompto asked.

"The play of course." I sang.

"I thought we are going to the ship." Prompto said.

"Hehe, that's the fun part." I grinned.

"Define the fun meaning." Prompto stated.

"It's a secret. Just wait and see." I sang.

Just as we enterd the valley, Vivi tripped. "Blast it." A Hippo that was fixing a sign cursed under his breath.

"Hey, you made me miss you little klutz." The Hippo said and back to fix the sign. "This should do it." After he said that he was gone leaving the most important thing to our next plan.

"You okay little guy?" Prompto asked.

"Y-Yes." Vivi adjusted his hat.

"Prompto, his name is Vivi." I corrected.

"B-But Vivi sounds like a girl name, Are you sure he is a guy?" Promto pouted.

"Yes Prompto, he is a guy, now you should learn like Noctis here to shut up." I sighed.

"B-But, Noct is too shy to talk." Prompto whined. I heard Noctis grumbles 'whatever' under his breath.

"Hey, you four." Someone called. Turn out, it's a rat talking to us, well, it's a rat to the others but to me a rat prince... "That ticket you have is a fake right? I'll take you to see the play if you become my slaves." Puck said...cockily I might add.

"How did you know it was fake and there's no way I'll become rat's slave." Prompto protested.

"I saw the pointy hat cry out of ticket booth." Puck answered.

"I'll be your slave if you let me see the play." I grinned.

"B-But Sakuya-"

"Of course the other three too." I smirked.

"W-Wait, I never said I agree."

"Neither did I."

"And missing the chance to sneak into the ship, nuh-uh." Upon hearing me said that they shut up.

"I-If I really get to see the play, then I'm okay become your slave." Vivi said.

"Okay, that settled then, for the first task see over there if someone is coming." Puck said.

"No one is coming." I said after making sure no one is coming this way.

"Good." Puck then lifts the wooden ladder and run. "Follow me." He said and we were hot on his trail.

Puck leads us to the bell tower. "Hey, pointy hat you go first." Puck commanded indicating to Vivi.

"O-Okay."Vivi adjusted his hat again.. well his habit after all, Vivi climbs the ladder but he can only climb the second before something falls down, knocking Vivi.

"Ahahaha what the heck was that?" Puck laughed obviously happy.

"Sorry about that, kupo." Kupo said. 'Must resist.' I chanted again using all my will power not to jump and glomp him.

"That's Kupo he's a moogle, and these are slave number one, two , three, and four. You all should get along well." Puck said.

"What the, why there is a moogle here?" Prompto said shocked.

"What are you saying? Moogle is everywhere... Where are you come from?" Puck asked.

'Way to go Prompto.' I sighed inwardly. "We came from other continent, Moogle are rare species there." I lied.

"Other continent, I thought there's only one continent here." Puck said suddenly become very interested.

"Nope, if you go north, you'll see other continent." I said.

I heard Puck said something "gotta go someday" along the line.

"Wow, never thought you are good liar." Prompto whispered.

"I didn't lie about other continent though." I smiled.

"Well anyway let's go." Puck said as he adjusted the ladder he brought and climb the tower.

"Hey, Kupo can I pet you?" My eyes are sparkling. "Of course, kupo." Kupo answered.

I carefully cradle him and pet his head. "You're so fluffy." I sighed happily. 'I wish I could have one.'

Kupo...You here?" Another Moogle came in. "Kupo! Stiltzkin, why that get up? You leaving kupo?" Kupo asked.

"Yeah, this time I might be away for a long time." Stiltzkin answered.

"I'll miss you, kupo."

"Don't worry, I'll write."

"Okay, kupo."

"Now, I'm off. Take care and say hi to Mosh in the castle for me." Stiltzkin said, with that he's off to journey.

"He's your friend?" I asked.

"Yep, a very special one, kupo." Kupo said happily.

"Can I ask you a favor kupo?" Kupo asked.

"Of course." I answered.

"Can you deliver this mail to Monty, the delivery we used to use has been very sporadic lately, so I want you to help us deliver mail." Kupo said.

"I understand, I'll help." I said happily.

"Thank you, kupo. I'll give you this." Kupo gave me a kupo nut.

"Thank you Kupo." I hugged him.

"Hey, Sakuya come on." Prompto called.

"Coming." I said. "Well then, I gotta go, wish me luck Kupo." I said.

"Bye bye, kupo." Kupo waved.

After climbing the ladder, we are now on the rooftop, some planks were put here and there connecting the rooftop with one and another. Puck easily crosses the planks. "C'mon hurry up." Puck yelled. Vivi just stand there stunned.

"What's wrong?" I asked...'Oh yeah, I forgot Vivi is afraid of height.'

"I...I-I am afraid of height." Vivi suttered.

"Then let's cross together, this is also my first time doing this." I said taking his hand.

"Hey, by the way what's your name? My name is Puck." Puck asked when we were halfway to the castle.

"My name is V-Vivi."

"I am Sakuya."

"Prompto." Prompto grumbled.

"...Noctis..."

Finally we arrive at the play, I'm surprised we arrived on time with the constant stopping here and there. Queen Brahne is dancing at the opening arc, yes dancing, swaying her hips right and left. You know seeing her in game dancing is one thing, but seeing her dance for real is somewhere between funny and weird I guess... Well the other seems too mesmerized by the opening they didn't see her dancing.

The play begins and shortly after I was dragged away. "What the-"

"Hey Sakuya." Prompto whispered.

"Yeah?"

"How will we sneak in seeing there are this many people here and there." He asked.

"Don't worry, the way we'll use is the safest way, that's it if we don't get caught." I muttered the last part softly.

"Hey, Sakuya, How is the princess looks like?" Prompto asked in a very serious voice he could muster. I blink once, twice...finally the question clicked and I bust out laughing, Noctis gives me an odd look.

"Y-You are worried about her look." I said still gasping for breath.

"Hey, well, seeing her mother is like that." Prompto said as he pointed the Queen.

"Since whe you notice her.?" I asked.

"Just now." He answered.

"D-Don't worry, you'll see her when we get on the airship." I said still giggling.

"That didn't answer my question." Prompto said.

"C'mon she's already missing from her seat, that means we gotta go back now if we want to sneak on the airship." I said dragging them but a hand stopped me.

"How exactly we'll aboard the ship." Noctis asked. 'he finally said one sentence.'

"Rest assured, we'll board for sure." I grinned.

"Sakuya, where were you? I was worried I thought yo-you were l-lost." Vivi said.

"Sorry, Vivi, I was just walking around." I patted his hat. The scene before me is Zidane and Blank locked epic swordplay. Now this is what I call epic. After the epicness the play now entering the scene where Marcus is sneaking Cornelia's chamber.

'They're at it.'

"Hey, there are some trepassers, catch them!" A voice yelled.

"Let's run." I said grabbing Vivi's nd Noctis' hand, tugging Prompto running away from the Pluto Knight.

"Hey, Sakuya, shouldn't we let them catch us?" Prompto asked.

"Nope, now run across the swordplay stage." I said. Then all of us including the Knight are watching Cornelia got stabbed. The audiences cry at that, but then the knights are the first one snapped out of it.

"Hey, trepassers, come back here." They yelled.

"Let's go to the stage." I said, but Vivi tripped.

"I'm outta here." Puck yelled. Quickly grabbing Vivi's hand we run to the stage. We run circling the stabbed Cornelia.

"D-Don't come any closer." Vivi said as he stretched his hand.

"Fire" Sadly he mistargeted and the fire burnt the hoodie girl. She suddenly jolts up. "Ow, that's hot." She said as she threw her hoodie, revealing Princess Garnet.

"Zidane, it's time." Baku said as he got away.

"Princess Garnet, let's get outta here." Zidane said as he and Marcus got on their feet.

"Wait... What is going on?" Steiner growled. 'Can't he see this whole thing is just an .' I rolled my eyes.

"Steiner, don't follow me anymore."Garnet said.

"Captain, sir! We await your orders, sir!" one of the Pluto Knights which I don't remember his name said.

"Well...Urm...Hemm...Princess, I am afraid I cannot comply."Steiner finally said.

"Stubborn as always, don't you?" Garnet sighed.

"C'mon Princess. Let's ditch this sir rustalot and get outta here." Zidane grinned.

"So, who will you help." Zidane suddenly asked.

"Well, according to what just happened, I'd say we will help you escape though that's mean we are helping ourselves escape." I smirked.

"Fair enough." Zidane grinned back.

"Besides, what fun if I just obidiently obey them, according to my logic, rules exist to be broken." I laughed.

"You are one of a kind." Zidane said amused.

"Get ready, we'll fight them, but don't kill them they'll useful later. "I said readying my katana. 'Wait a minute...Did I know how to fight?No. Did I have time to train?No...Shoot, I'm the one better not get killed.' I mentally cried.

"Princess, I cannot allow you to go! Seize them at once!" Steiner ordered. Thus the fight begin. Sadly people I get the womanizer one, 'Well, this work on my favor.'

"Hey, lady, why don't we just ditch this and have date in town." The womanizer asked. I roll my eyes.

"In your dream." I grumbled.

"Aw, a fiesty one, I like it." He grinned.

"You shouldn't flirt in battle." I grinned.

"That's what she said." Prompto use his distraction to kick him.

"Thanks, I don't really know how to fight." I smiled weakly.

"I'm gonna be late for my date..." The said womanizer scrambled on his feet and run away.

"So much for a knight." Prompto sighed.

"My fury ends here..." I heard the other one said and ran away.

"H-Hey, come back here!" Steiner yelled. 'Now that leave us sir rustalot.'

"Give it up Steiner seven on one it works on our favor." I said.

"S-Silence! This is only a flesh wound." He gritted his teeth.

Suddenly and out of nowhere an earthquake occured.."Whoa!" I stumbled but quickly regained my composure. 'Time to go.' Prima Vista finally began to move. But as expected from the oh so mighty Queen, note the sacrasm, she fired anchor canons (Me: Not sure what's that.) to prevent the ship from moving.

Brahne didn't seem not satisfied and fires the remaining anchor cannons, this time sucessfully stopping the ships down, but still not enough. The wood planks' fragment fall down causing me to stumble yet again but still not enough to cause me falling down.

"We better get ready, we'll fight that knight again and a living bomb." I said.

"Living what?" Noctis asked unable comprehend what I was saying.

"Here it comes." I yelled as Brahne fired the bomb.

Finally regaining his composure, Steiner still insist on fighting us...with living bomb behind him unnoticed. "Hey, you never told me the princess is so beautiful." Prompto half yelled half whispering.

"Never said she was ugly." I said.

"Steiner, you better look behind you." I yelled. The others notice the bomb too thanks to my yelling.

"I'll not fall for such an old trick." Steiner growled as he attacked Marcus. I groan, 'This idiot.' Unfortunately Steiner saw my groan as an opening and attacked me.

"Sakuya." The warning did the trick, I barely managed to block his attack.

"Tch! Why can't you look that thing behind you." I growled.

"Ha! As if I'll fall for that." I jumped back to create a distance.

"Please, Steiner! behind you." Garnet pleaded only to fall on deaf ear.

"Surrender at once." The idiot still didn't believe even though the princess warned him and continuing his attack.

"Prompto, can you aim for the bomb?" I asked.

"I'll try."

BANG!

Prompto fired his gun but sadly the bomb absorbs it and grows bigger. "What the-"

"It's a bomb" Vivi gasped.

"It's gonna blow." Marcus yelled.

As Steiner suddenly decide to be obidient and looks behind him, the bomb already grew big enough to blow. "W-What?" Steiner yelled.

"Shit.." I cursed and the bomb exploded, I shield my eyes, but the wind is strong enough to blow me out. "Ugh..." I feel someone steadying me. After the smoke ceased, I find Noctis is the one steadying me. His arms warping on my wasit while the other shielding his eyes.

"Um... I am fine now." I said timidly, my courage suddenly dissapeared to nowhere. Seemingly my discomfort Noctis lets me go. 'Well, actually it's feels comfotable, I'm not going to let him know I blushed...Wait, where did comfortable come from...Bad mind, bad!' I scolded my mind.

Then again, our misfortune is still on going, the beaten Prima Vista lost it's altitude and gonna crash on Evil Forest, in the midst of chaos I was thrown out of the ship but still manage to grab it's edge. My heart thumping loudly. 'It's just the beginning and I am already going to die?' I panicked.

The wood edge began to break and the last time I remember is I am falling and all went black.
