Hey guys I decide I would make this an actual story fic now and yes it will be Noctis x harem. I might still do one-shots here and there but will let you know which is a chapter and which is a one shot.

Note that I know I'm not a great writer I am just a fan of fanfics and various games and manga and so forth and get ideas I don't see yet happening and hope to inspire others do write them (pairing wise) and as a way to wait for someone to write about the pairings I want to see happen. So please don't flame me too hard I just write for fun and in my free time I am not a professional or ever claim to be

Oh and please note I might be doing one-shots for a bit before doing the actual story as I just really want to get them out there (I have no plan as of yet). Again updates and still will be periodically (months apart) as I only write when I have the time and motivation to do it (which is pretty inconsistent, so sorry about that). Also I will be going back to Uni next month so please be understanding of lack of updates and lack of content. I state it numerous of times but I am not a writer type, I am a reader who is inspired to write myself from either lack of stories I want (Noctis x harem/ Noctis x Females, in this case) and can't wait for people to write them and if I get ideas I just can't get out my head, so please try to understand that I am trying my best.

Story will focus on Noctis x Harem mainly those in FFXV might do others but sticking with FFXV with the main story and might do Noctis x other FF series females in one shots. This has officially changed from one-shots to a story with one-shots in between. Chapter lengths will probably vary from chapter to chapter.

Oh and warning characters will probably be somewhat OOC (out of character for those who don't know what it means). I've never been good at keeping characters in character so you have been warned.

Note I'm not certain which name for Cidney or Cindy to use so I'm going with Cidney. Also I'm not very good at writing accents so please forgive me for her horrible speech. If you can do them, please message me with fixed versions of her speech and I'll update it.

Disclaimer: I do not Final Fantasy XV or any of its characters.

Main Story Pairing:

Noctis x Harem (Note those who can't fight won't probably get too much screen time as only those who can fight will travel with the party if you have ideas for any of the girls fighting styles and weapons please message me)

Harem:

Aranea

Luna x (No Stella, sorry)

Cidney

Gentiana

Iris, (she will be 19 though, I found 15 to be a bit too young for me).

Possible harem members:

Monica? (I thought she was alright.)

Molly (Power plant lady)

Coctura (The chief/tipster at Golden Quay)

Crowe (Never saw the FFXV movie so I would need an idea on how to bring her into this)

Sania (The weird frog lady. Note if she's not paired with Noctis I'm doing Gladiolus x Sania)

Can't think of anymore FFXV girls did I miss any?

Chapter 1

"Huff…..Huff….."

Heaving panting could be heard as a young man, sweated and panted as he cleaned the sweat off his forehead with his hand.

This young man was Noctis Lucis Caelum. The true king. Chosen by the crystal at a young age.

Focusing on Noctis's location you can now see him joined by a number of allies, facing down Ifrit the Infernian.

Ifrit is the astral god of fire. He appears as a horned humanoid on a flaming throne, currently looking at the approaching group, with a bored look as he has one hand held his face in a bored manner.

*BOOM* And with a casual hand gesture from Ifrit, a torrent of flames hits Noctis, burning some of his clothes as he puts out the flames by rolling on the ground. One of Noctis's allies comes running over, helping him quench the flames.

"Hang in their buddy!" This young man is Prompto Argentum. One of Noctis's long-time friends he's known since his school days.

"Just stay down. We'll keep him busy!" Prompto says as he runs back towards Ifrit, summing his guns as he does.

"Noct! Over here!" A voice called out to Noctis, who still is recovering from the flames of Ifrit. Looking towards the voice Noctis sees another of his friends. Ignis Scientia, taking cover behind a large piece of debris.

"Quickly! Before he strikes again!"

"Hughh!" Noctis exclaims in slight pain as an ally comes from behind, forcing him over to Ignis quickly.

"Sorry Noct!" The newcomer says apologetically.

"It's fine, don't worry about it." Noctis replies, knowing his friend only did it to save him. This friend of his was Gladiolus Amicitia.

"Noct! You okay!?" A young female voice calls out in concern.

"Barely a singe. I'll live Iris." He replies with a small smile, smiling at Iris Amicitia, Gladioulus's little sister.

"Ha! If that's a singe I'd love to see what you call a overcooked Pretty Boy." An older female voice remarks as she joins the group behind cover.

"Urgh….." Noctis sigh, as Aranea Highwind joins them.

"Noct are you certain you're alright? Ignis give him here, I'll heal him!" Yet another female voice calls out.

Turning his head Noctis sees his childhood friend, Lunafreya Nox Fleuret.

"Certainly Lady Lunafreya." Ignis replies, gently passing Noctis over to her, whose hands glow in a gentle light as she presses them to Noctis.

*Sighs in relief* "Ahhhhh. Much better thanks Luna." Noctis thanks her with a smile.

"You can thank me later…..In private.." She blushes. The other girls present all gain a tick mark.

"Seriously Luna!? There's a time and place for this!" Iris says.

"Yeah! And besides that I'm next!" Aranea adds, to which all the boys blush at while Prompto also cries at.

"So unfair….." He whines.

"Everybody down!" A new feminine voice yells as she jumps over the cover and pushes everyone down to avoid the raging flames sent by Ifrit.

"Ughhhhh!" They grunt as the heat of the flames still somewhat hurts them, even in cover.

Waiting till the flames die out Noctis and his allies move out of cover and stand in battle ready stances, as they face down Ifrit, still sitting on his throne.

"We got your back!" Promto calls out as they begin to charge Ifrit.

"Come on guys, lets go!" Noctis yells as they engage Ifrit again in combat.

An Unspecified Amount of Time Earlier

We find ourselves overwatching The King of Insomnia, King Regis Lucis Caelum, sitting on his throne, looking at a group of four young men.

Regis is appears to be an aging-middles-aged man with grey hair and green eyes. On this particular occasion, Regis wears a black suit with thin, white stripes, and a black cape. He wears a gold brace on his right knee, and black shoes. Regis has a cane placed to the side of his throne, which is predominately silver.

Standing at attention before King Regis is his son, Noctis Lucis Caelum and his close friends: Gladiolus Amicitia, Ignis Scientia and Prompto Argentum.

Noctis is a slender, yet well built, 20-year-old young man with spiky black hair and blue eyes. With his looks, he had women swooning left and right for him, something his father and friends, aside from Prompto (who simply cries in exclaiming unfairness), teased him for mercilessly.

Noctis is currently wearing a pinstripe suit, wears matching coloured shoes. The outfit is similar to the one worn by his father in his earlier days, but tailored for Noctis. (Royal Raiment outfit)

Gladiolus is a tall 23-year-old man with a large build. He wears black leather trousers with a small side chain, an open black shirt with nothing but a pendant underneath, a small arm sleeve over his left wrist, and black shoes. He has amber eyes, a long scar over his left eye, tattoos covering his arms, his brown hair is straightened to the back and partially shaved along the sides, and he sports a jaw beard.

Ignis is 22 years of age, wears a purple and black patterned dress shirt with his black suit and black shiny red-soled shoes with sequenced crystals at the tip. He wears shimmery silver driving gloves. He wears glasses and has short, light brown hair swept up at the front of his hairline and green eyes.

Prompto same age as Noctis is a youth of average height and a slightly more slender build than Noctis. He has blue eyes, light freckles and short, unruly blond hair, he wears two bands on his right arm, black gloves, a black shirt with a white pattern, and a sleeveless black vest with a dark red flannel shirt attached underneath. He wears dark pants and boots like the others of the group.

"The decreed hour has come." Regis's voice boomed throughout the throne room, as he gazed upon his son, looking him directly in the eyes.

"Set forth with my blessings, Prince Noctis." Noctis bows to his father.

"Thank you…. your majesty." He replies slightly awkwardly, not too used to referring his father with such formality. Regis's gaze, softens.

"Take your leave and go in the grace of the gods." Noctis nods his head.

"Right…." With one last bow he leaves the throne room.

"Your majesty." His friends all bow towards their king as they follow their friend and prince, leaving Regis to gaze after his son.

'Oh Noctis. Words cannot describe how sorry I am for what is to come.'

Outside the Citidel, Noctis and his friends just arrive outside of doors.

"Well, princes will be princes I guess." Prompto says.

"So much for royal protocol. All you seem to do correctly to the letter was wear something formal." Ignis comments, to which Noctis sighs.

"Oh shove it. Just be grateful I even wore the suit." Galdiolus snickers.

"Heh. Not like you had to deliver a formal speech or anything."

"Ughh…."

"Your highness!" A voice calls out to Noctis. Turning around Noctis, finds it to be Titus Drautos, accompany his father who is using his cane to walk towards his son.

"Oh what now?" Noctis sighs as he walks over to his father, meeting him half-way so his father won't have to walk further than needed.

"I fear I have left too much unsaid." Regis says as they meet. "You place a great burden on those who would bear it with you." Noctis smirks. As the start walking slowly to Noctis's friends.

"Like your one to talk." Regis now also smiles, before turning to Noctis's friends and companions.

"I ask not that you guide my wayward son, merely that you remain by his side.

"Indeed, your grace." Ignis replies respectfully. Bowling lightly.

"We'll see the prince safely to Altissia If it's the last thing we see." Gladiolus confirms.

"Uh yeah what he said." Prompto says shyly.

"Hate to break this up but, Cor's got the motor running." Noctis waves a hand at Drautos. "Drautos! He's in your hands."

"And another thing." Regis speaks up, giving his son a 'look'. "Do mind your manners around your charming bride to be. And if at all possible keep the flirting with other women to a minimum. While I'd love to have grandchildren to dot upon, do exercise reason, won't you?" He says, making Noctis blush.

"Wha-Huh-Urgh! How many times to I have to tell you I'm not like that? And besides remind me again why you only took one wife when for some reason, I'm expected to marry multiple wives?" Noctis asks his father, who laughs at his son.

"Haha. Because I'm not the True King. And besides I was fortunate enough to have been able to convince the councils I only needed one wife." Noctis gives his father a deadpanned look.

"But couldn't convince them the same thing for me?" Regis laughs joyfully, placing a hand on Noctis's shoulder.

"What? You complaining or something? Most men would be overjoyed at knowing they could marry multiple wives." Noctis blushes lightly.

"…I didn't say that exactly….." Now he can hear his friends snicking quietly. Turning back to his father, after glaring at his friends. "And your majesty as well." Regis raising a bow at his son while still smiling from teasing his son. "Try to mind your manners around our esteemed guests from Niflheim."

"You have no cause for concern." Regis remarks.

"Well neither do you." Regis now looks at his son seriously.

"Take heed, once you've set forth, there is no turning back." Matching his father's tone Noctis replies.

"You think I would?" Regis breaks a smile as he walks up to Noctis.

"I only need to know that you are ready to leave home behind." Surprised by his father's words Noctis looks at him, slightly concerned.

"Why? Is there some reason I wouldn't be able to come home?" Regis smiles gently.

"You will always have a home here. Especially since someday soon I hope. This will all be your reasonability to look after." He says cheekily. "After all. I don't want to spend the rest of my days pushing papers when I could leave all that behind to my wayward son."

Noctis laughs as he moves to embrace his father in a hug. "Cheeky old man." Regis smiles as he also embraces his son.

"Take care on the long road. Wheresoever you should go. The line of Lucis goes with you." Holding his son lovingly he continues. "Walk tall, my son. And know whatever you go, whatever happens out there on the road. You make me proud."

Noctis sheds a tear at his father's words. "Why can't I shake this feeling something bad is about to happen?"

"Remember all your training Noctis. You may find yourself in need of it soon enough. I must confess, your seriousness towards you training caught me off-guard. Almost mistook you for another person."

Breaking the hug Noctis laughs. "Ha. Figured it was better to be ready for what the world has to throw at me than remain a naïve prince."

"Yes. It would have also been rather nice if you could have shaken your peculiar sleeping habits." Ignis whispers, making Gladiolus and Prompto silently laugh.

"Oh, stuff a sock in it." Noctis groans, going to walk off when his father grabs his should again.

"I know I've failed to say it more often Noctis, but…I love you….my son. Always remember that." Regis says devoid of all humour.

Giving his father one last hug Noctis smiles at his father. "And I love you too..Dad…." Regis lets out a small tear, watching his son and friends set off on their journey.

"Walk tall my son."

Hours Later

Now seemingly in the middle of nowhere, one could find a car broken down on the side of the road.

Ignis sits in the driver's seat of the Regalia (Big Bang skin). The Regalia is a custom-made, four-seat convertible with an interior made of dark leather. Its hubcaps have a chocobo talon motif.

Gladiolus stands to the left of the Regalia with his thumb out, hoping someone will stop to lend them a hand. Prompto is currently sitting on the right side of the car, and Noctis sits on the ground at the back of the Regalia, without his suits jacket, which currently lays on the left backseat of the car.

*Sigh* Noctis sighs as another car continues by without stopping.

"I think we can forget about hitching our way there." Gladiolus says, walking to the middle of the left side of the Regalia to lean on it as he crosses his arms against his chest. "Thought people were friendly out of Crown city."

"Well, you can only go so far off the kindness of strangers." Ignis replies sitting with his arms over the driving wheel, resting his head.

Gladiolus pushes himself off the Regalia, moving to Noctis. "Guess we'll just have to push her the rest of the way."

"I've already pushed myself…..to the brink of death.." Prompto says dramatically as he 'falls' to the ground in 'exhaustion'.

"Oh, get up already." Gladiolus rolls his eyes and pats Noctis on the shoulder and kicks Prompto lightly with his foot. "Come on, the cars not gonna move itself, now is it?"

"Ow!" Prompto says in pain, getting off the ground, hopping around, holding his foot, while Noctis gets up sighing. "Sheesh! I thought the car was supposed to move us." Noctis sighs again.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Can it you two, now get ready, steady…"

"Awww….." Prompto whines.

"PUUUUSSSH! Gladiolus exclaims as they begin to push the car.

"Hyuuuugh!" They all yell, as the car begins to gain momentum.

"Un, flipping believable…" Noctis groans as they continue pushing with Ignis steering the Regalia.

"Not exactly a fairy tale beginning, huh, Prince Noctis? Gladiolus strains out, pushing the hardest of the trio currently pushing.

"We unfortunately let ourselves get carried away. Although it would have helped if somebody in particular hadn't almost crashed the Regalia earlier on." Ignis says looking at Prompto, who sweats at his gaze.

"L-Look, these things happen alright? Coulda happened to anyone!" He defends himself.

"S-Sure it could've…." Noctis glares at his friend, who starts off out at the empty roads, whistling.

"Let's just hope this isn't some kind of omen." Gladiolus tries to keep things positive.

"Gladio, do me a favour." Noctis says.

"Yeah?"

"Push her on your own, would you?" Gladiolus sweats at just the thought of pushing the car all own his own.

"All by myself!? Where'd all that muscle you put on go Noct!?"

"Hey! Just because I put on some more muscle compared to Prompto, does not mean I'm as big as you! If you wanna blame someone, blame Prompto for being so skinny."

"You won't even notice if we just let go….." Prompto says, slowing letting go of the car.

"Prompto don't you even think about it!" Gladiolus grunts.

*Sigh* "Save some breath for pushing would you?" Ignis says calmly at the wheel.

"Ignis come on! Time to switch.

"Nu-uh! We just switched back here!" Gladiolus says.

"Aaaannd. It's my turn Noct." Prompto and Ignis snorts.

"His turn."

"My hands are killing me." Prompto claims as he lets go of the car to move to the driver's seat.

"Would you rather I kill you with mine!?" Gladiolus threatens.

"Easy there tough guy…" Prompto whines, going back to pushing the Regalia.

"Any luck Ignis?" Noctis asks.

"Afraid nothing but busy signal." Ignis replies.

"Wait hold the phone. Was it just me or was it meant to be waaaay closer?" Prompto grunts as he carries on pushing.

"I assure the map is correct." Ignis replies.

"The map said Hammerhead was right around the corner." Noctis speaks up.

"Literally right next door." Prompto agrees. Gladiolus snorts.

"Would look that way. On a map of the world."

Continuing pushing Noctis looks around them. "Huh, the worlds a big old place." He says while looking around, spotting various animals and monsters in the wild.

"Filled of wonders I assure you." Ignis confirms.

"Oh yeah? Tell that to my hands and feet." Prompto says.

"You guys even pushing?" Gladiolus grunts form the back of the Regalia.

"I am but it looks like Prompto isn't." Noctis claims as Gladiolus gains a tick mark on his forehead, glaring at Prompto.

"What!? I'm pushing as hard as I can!" He says. Ignis coughs into his hand.

"Of course you are….."

"You're so dead once we get there Prompto!" Gladiolus promises as they continue pushing, to which Prompto whines and starts mentally praying for his continued survival.

Some Time Later

"Dudes, there it is!" Prompto yells, getting the others attentions, as they look up and see the Hammerhead sign.

"Ughh…finally….almost there." Noctis says gaining his second wind upon seeing the sign.

"Seems they even have a few caravans and a diner here as well as a car garage." Ignis observes as they draw closer to Hammerhead.

"Hope you're ready to die Prompto, cause we're almost there!" Gladiolus reminds Prompto who pales at remembering.

"Hey! Come on, it was just for a moment I swear!"

"And it'll only take me a moment I swear!" Gladiolus promises, glaring at Prompto.

"Oh, Noct keep in mind we should replenish our supply of curatives, once we've secured a solution to the Regalia." Ignis reminds Noctis.

"Yeah, I know. We'll get around to it, once we've resupplied me…" He groans as the group continues pushing or in Ignis's case, steering as they make it to the front of the car garage.

Gladiolus huffs and puffs, still at the behind of the Regalia, only now leaning on it as he gets some recovery after having taught Prompto his lesson.

Prompto finds himself, flat on the ground with several bruises covering his face and body, whining in pain.

Ignis merely takes in their surroundings calmly with a stern gaze. Noctis sits on the ground, leaning against the Regalia in the shade as the air returns to his lungs.

Hearing someone approach them, Prompto turns his head. Only to have his jaw drop at who approaches them.

Hearing Prompto start to say something only immediately to shut himself up, got the others curious and turned to see what had caused Prompto to do so. Ignis blushed lightly, re-adjusting his glasses and Gladiolus brushed his hair back, getting some sweat out the way.

All the while the trio act funny, Noctis ignores it in favour of relaxing after hours of pushing the car.

"Hey there, y'all kept a girl waitin!" A female voice with a Southern Insomnia accent (can't exactly say American when America doesn't exist in the game now can I?).

Upon hearing the voice Noctis's head shot up.

"Noww….which one of y'all is the prince?" The women asked in her accent.

Noctis stands up and see's the women. And she is beautiful.

She is a slender woman with short, curly blond hair and olive green eyes. She wears a red cap with yellow outlines and a logo with the words "HAMMER HEAD" and "FULL SERVICE STATION" and black goggles which is currently hung around her neck.

The young woman also wears a cropped yellow jacket that reveals her stomach zipped a few inches under her breasts, and an orange bikini top with deep décolletage. She wears jeans shorts with a brown belt loosely hanging around her hips, thigh-high black stockings, white high boots on heels, and brown gloves.

"Damn….." He whispers to which she barely heard and blushed at. She had come across many customers before but this was the first time she ever blushed at one.

"Aha!" Walking on over to Noctis she smiles, while lightly blushing as she makes her way over to him. "Hello ya highness. Congrats on your wedding."

"Thanks but, not hitched just yet." Noctis thanks her, still blushing slightly. He's always had a thing for older women. Heck, Luna's 4 years older than him. Probably where he developed the weakness from. Though he may have a slight crush on Gladiolus's younger sister growing up.

"Oh right. Hehe. Lady Lunafreya's handsome groom-to-be right here in Hammerhead." She giggled, seeing his light blush.

'Hehehe. Nice to know I have that effect on ya cutie.'

"S-Sory about the wait." Noctis says, to which she just waved him off.

"Oh you'd best save ya'll apologies for Paw-paw." She replies, taking a look over the Regalia as she spoke.

"Which would make you?" Gladiolus asks.

"Oh that's tight! Forgot to give my name huh? Well I'm Cidney Aurum. Cid's grease monkey granddaughter." Cidney introduces herself, smiling at Noctis, who smiles back.

"AND I'm Prompto! If anyone was wondering…." Prompto comes out of the blue, unable to stand Noctis and Cidney's 'goo-goo eyes' any longer.

"Yeah. Nobody asked." Gladiolus states.

"Roll 'er in while I'm still young." Said an aged voice. Turning to the voice the gang saw and aged man approaching slowly.

The elderly man has silver hair and hazel eyes. He wears a jacket made from red leather, a blue shirt, black gloves, jeans, and a red baseball cap that bears the Hammerhead logo. The group assumed this must be Cid, going off of Cidney's reaction.

"Didn't yer daddy ever tell ya? She's a custom classic, not some beat up old clunker." He said as he observed the damage to the car. "Prince Noctis…." He said looking at Noctis.

"Sir?" Noctis asked politely, just as he had been taught, growing up.

"Yer really do remind me of Reggie…" The old man said as he continued to take a gander at the Regalia. "But you still got some ways go to don't'cha?" He started to walk back towards the garage.

"Well, she's gonna take a while. So you must as well make yourselves useful around here." Cid said and walked off.

*Sigh* "Well ya'll heard the man! Let's get to it." Cidney spoke up, indicating to the car. "Sorry about Paw-paw Prince. He's really quite the softy when you get to know 'im." Noctis laughs lightly.

"Ha. Can't wait to see that." He smiles at her. "Besides the company he left behind is pretty nice." Cidney blushes and pulls down her cap to cover her face.

"Thought we were done…" Prompto whines as they move the car into the garage.

"Less whining, more pushing Prompto." Gladiolus says.

After Moving the Regalia

"-Thank you." Ignis finishes up talking with Cid in the garage, walking back to the group as the doors to the garage shut behind him. "And now we play the waiting game."

"Eh. Never liked that game." Noctis snickers.

"Were never any good at it either."

"Hey!"

"A moment Noct? We've expended the last of our funds on repairs. I suggest we confer with Cidney." Ignis informs Noctis of their money status.

Noctis takes a look around the area and sees Cidney hailing him over. "Well seems she wants to talk anyway, so I guess so."

"Broke down and flat broke." Propmpto muses as they walk over to Cidney.

"Adding insult to injury." Ignis comments.

"Hmph. Probably would still have some gill left if the old man hadn't charged us that much." Gladiolus states, then smiles at Noctis. "Who knows maybe you could charm Cidney into giving us a deal or something?" Laughing as Noctis blushes.

"Wha?! Just what kind of person do you think I am?"

"Simply a young man with overflowing charm I suppose." Ignis smiles. "Could be worth a shot Noct. We are strapped for cash after all."

"Oh, hey there prince. She ain't gonna be ready for a while. Y'all need something?"

"Huh? Oh…er…..yeah. It's just we're sorta low on cash at the moment. We were wondering if there was something we could do for some?" Noctis bumbles over his words as Cidney giggles at his nervousness.

'So adorable, makes me wanna tease him a little. Though I wouldn't mind getting to know him better either.' She muses to herself.

"Hehehe. Ooohhh. So that's what Paw-paw meant when he said he was 'gonna teach those boys a lesson'. Told me he outa have y'all take care of some ornery vermin in the area, that have been causing a ruckus 'round here." Cidney smiles as she walks up to Noctis and enters the coordinates into his phones map. She also added her number on while she was at it.

"I'd be more than happy to pay y'all for your services, if you're up to the challenge." She says putting a finger to Noctis's chest. "How about it? Will you do this for little 'ol me?" She moves her finger from his chest to his lips. "Pretty please?...Oh! But don't go wondering around after dark. The daemmons're liable to rip y'all to shreds. Here."

Cidney places some gill into Noctis's hand. "This ought to be enough for a place to stay tonight, don't tell Paw-paw about this though. These ones just between us got it?"

"Uhhhhhh…." Is all Noctis can say as he blushes.

"What I believe he means to say is 'we accept'." Ignis saves his friend from prolonged embarrassment.

"Hehehe. So kind of y'all. Hmmmm. Who knows maybe I'll even give ya a special reward prince." She whispers into his ear, giving his cheek a kiss, then walking off back towards the garage.

"Hahaha..whipped already Prince Noctis?" Gladiolus asks, laughing at Noctis's eyes following Cidney till she disappeared into the garage.

"Shut up!" Noctis says. "Let's take a break before heading out." He tells them, heading for the diner.

"Oh my, seems we've embarrassed the young prince." Ignis laughs, following Noctis.

"…. Princes get all the girls…So unfair…." Prompto moans.

After having their fun poking at the prince, aside from Prompto who was just mopped and had a break, they found themselves coming up on the area on Noctis's phones map.

"Ah. Seems we've found our first targets, ready Noct?" Ignis asks, as their targets a group of Reapertails come into view.

"Hell yeah. Let's do this." Noctis replies as he conjures his Engine Blade. His friends follow suit, summoning their chosen weapons.

"Hyrgh!" Noctis grunts, catching the first Reapertail off-guard with a warp-strike.

Noctis proceeds to take out another Reapertail as Gladiolus comes in to cover his back with his broadsword. The two then double-teamed a Reapertail from behind ending the monster's life

"Not a bad start Noct! Seems all that training paid off huh!" Noctis blocks one Reapertail's assault and counters before shooting Gladiolus a grin.

"You know it!" Noctis replies as they proceed to take out the remaining enemies. Between Ignis's commands, Prompto's sharpshooting, Gladiolus's pure strength, and Noctis's warping the Reapertails fall quickly and with little effort.

"Excellent work. On we go." Ignis states as they finish off the battle.

"Phew! It's hot!" Prompto states as they move onto the next group of creatures.

"You can say that again." Noctis agrees as he cleans some sweat off his forehead.

"Just think on the bright side. The sooner we do this; the sooner we can relax at the Caravan." Gladiolus says.

"Whoa! Check this out guys." Prompto calls the other over.

Arriving to what their friend was referring to the find a Telegraph pole that has been split in half.

"Wonder what happened here." Prompto says aloud.

"Seems the telegraph pole was somehow split into half I gander." Ignis looks around the area. "And it seems it's not just this one."

"The hell do you think did this?" Gladiolus asks. Ignis takes another observation of the area.

"Hard to say. A natural disaster perhaps." Gladiolus shakes his head.

"Doubt it. If that had been the case Hammerhead would likely have taken some hits itself."

"Who knows, maybe a huuuge monster came and knocked 'em down." Prompto suggests, making Noctis cringe a little.

"Better not be the 'vermin's' Cidney was referring to."

*Phone ringing* "Huh? Wonder who it could be." Noctis says as he answers the phone.

"Hello?"

"Howdy prince, how's the hunting going?"

"Actually we were just finishing up."

"Good to hear. I've got just one more request to make of y'all. Only this time it's a hunt for a person. A fella named Dave went off a while ago and we ain't heard from him since. Some folks say they say a fella holed up in a shack somewhere in the area."

"In a shack?" Glancing around their area Noctis spots a few old looking shacks. "Got it. We'll take a look." Finishing the convocation off, he slipped his phone back into his pocket.

"So? What did Cidney say?" Prompto asks impatiently.

"Sheesh, look at the poor fool, thinks he actually stands a chance against prince charming." Gladiolus says quietly to Ignis who smirks.

"Oh, let the poor boy dream. He'll learn eventually. Possibly…."

"Says she needs us to find some guy called Dave. He should be taking shelter in one of these shacks." He indicates to the various shacks in the area.

"Well alright, let's get to it shall we?"

Walking into the first shack they find it mostly empty, however there is some notes scattered in the corner.

Mutant Dualhorn Sighting

Codename: Bloodhorn

Characteristics: Red tusks, extremely violent.

Outstanding bounty on Sabertusks in the area

"Huh. Guess this Dave went off hunting of sorts." Noctis comments, having read the notes.

"Noct!" Ignis calls out.

Turning his head Noctis sees a Sabertusk about to strike him. He glows light blue, ready to phase through the attack.

*BAM* Prompto shoots it down before it reached Noctis.

"Nice!"

"You okay?" Prompto asks.

"Yeah." Noctis replies.

"Spoke too soon!" Ignis yells as more Sabertusks come running in.

"Let's clean them up!" Noctis charges the nearest Sabertusk. Ignis throws his daggers into the beasts and Noctis warps to the weapons, tearing them out and slashing away at the Sabertusk. Combined with Prompto's sharpshooting and Gladiolus's crushing strength, the monsters could delay the inevitable for only so long before they were overwhelmed.

After the battle the group moved onto the next shack and dealt with the creatures in the area.

"Hey who's out there?" Came a male voice from inside the shack. The door opened to reveal a man in a hunter's uniform, looking somewhat injured.

"Well, look who's in here. You the man of the hour Dave right? We've been looking for you." Gladiolus says as the group walks over to the man.

"Cidney sent us." Noctis finishes. The man nods his head.

"Didn't mean to cause y'all any trouble. Been stuck here due to my sprained ankle. There was something funny about those vermin. Gave 'em hell yet couldn't manage to finish the job. Still one mean mutt about, hate to ask y'all but could you take care of it for me?" The now identified Dave asks the group.

"Yeah sure thing. It'll be a cinch." Noctis states.

"Heh. Y'all got guts. Alright I last saw 'em near this area."

"Way to show some spunk. Now then time to kick some tail." Gladiolus pats Noctis on the shoulder.

Some Time Later

"-Like a father to her?" Noctis asks. Having taken care of the target the group have been making their way back to Hammerhead, talking amongst each other all the while.

"Ever since they got back, Cid's been the only looking after her." Gladiolus says.

"Rather more than a middling mechanic can handle." Ignis chimes in.

"All things considered, she turned out, I'd say she turned out okay." Promto adds.

"Like any girl, you just gotta treat her right." Gladiolus says smirking at Noctis who blushes.

"Treat her wrong and you'll have to answer to Cid." Prompto says.

"Take care of the car and it will take care of us." Ignis finishes.

Noctis fake laughs. "Ha….yeah, the car."

"It's rude to keep a girl waiting you know you better apologise to-whoa what is that!?" Prompto exclaims pointing at a massive bird-like creature heading their way.

"Watch out!" Ignis warns the group and they all hit the ground, avoiding the creatures interest.

The creature in question was at least 3 times the size of a caravan, armed with massive talons.

"That things like half-bird, half-storm, half-airship!" Prompto describes it as it flies away into the distance.

"You realize that's three halves right?" Gladiolus remarks as Ignis continues to watch the creature till he can't see it.

"Would explain the size."

Noctis smiles, now in thee clear. "Still. Awesome in every sense."

Prompto sighs as they continue on their way to Hammerhead. "….I wonder if we'll ever sit inside that car again." He says, longing for the comfort of those seats again.

"Heh. Sitting down all day was pretty nice." Gladiolus confesses.

"Yeah. Taking naps between trips was great." Noctis agrees.

"Well I presume you need wonder no longer. It seems Cidney is awaits us with the Regalia in tow." Ignis states as they reach the garage.

As Ignis stated, Cidney was there waiting for their arrival. Overlooking the Regalia as she waited.

"Sorry about the wait. Ain't she purdy?" She asks.

"Almost too pretty for the road." Gladiolus states.

"We should all take a picture with her!" Prompto walks over to someone walking by.

"Excuse me, could you take a picture of us?" He asks, upon receiving a nod, the group move into position.

"Hey Cidney you too." Noctis says taking her hand as she blushes.

"Who me?" He nods.

"Of course after all you had a major hand in getting her fixed and helping us out. More than deserving." She smiles at him.

"Awww. Alright."

With that settled Cidney took her place beside Noctis who puts his arm around her, making them both blush.

*Click* With the picture taken, Prompto thanked the stranger again upon receiving his camera back.

Moving back over to the group he shows off the shot to the others. They all look quite pleased with the photo. Especially Noctis and Cidney.

Chapter 1 End

And that's that. Sorry if the quality went down towards the end, but I did it all in one day and I started with tons of steam which started to die out after like 4-5 hrs but kept pushing myself. Also sorry for lack of battle scenes but I have started before I'm not good at them, so if anyone would help me with those please message me or you will have to endure my bad battles.

Notice I didn't name all the women at the battle with Ifrit? That is because I'm still thinking on how to give some women a fighting styles so they can join Noctis and Co on their journey, if you have ideas please let me know. Also if people want Crowe in the harem I need help on how to bring her about, I haven't seen the movie. Also I'm not sure If Regis needs to die, could just put him in a coma or something? Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure when I'll be updating again as I've now run out of writing steam, still don't have my laptop back from being fixed (at the library doing this upload) and have Uni again in about 2 weeks, so odds are I probably won't have the luxury of writing for some time.

Finally as always please leave a comment, they do help writers pump out more content and or if you just want to discuss something, message me, till the next upload cya.

And a big thank you to Jauneforever for being my beta. Still have no idea what happened to my last one, he still hasn't replied to any of my messages.
