A/N: So, it struck me that in FFRK, we have most of the cast from both Dissidia games, more so for the Cosmos side than the Chaos one (At least for now, I know Exdeath, Kefka and Kuja will come out in future for example). The biggest thing that stuck out to me is Warrior of Light, who is basically an original character for Dissidia BASED on FF1 Warrior/Knight class.

And I had the idea, of, well, what if they remembered the war in that in-between with Cosmos, Chaos and Shinryu?

Special shout out to DarkDiablo1995 for being my first review/fave/follow for this story :D

Disclaimer: I own a COPY of both Dissidia, Duodecim and the phone where I play FFRK, but not the actual anything themselves.


You'd think that with so many different kinds of heroes (and one or two villains) from worlds I only thought of as Fantasy that I'd keep a closer eye on everything and anything they did.

You'd be wrong of course, considering that I'm always running around doing a million things.

It was a subtle thing: a lingering look, a flash of recognition gone as quick as it came, almost instictual knowledge of what they could do in battle...it was unnvering sometimes.

I'd think: how do they know each other so well, they'd just met!

And someone would say: well Tyro of course they do, they're from the same world!

But then I'd interject: why would Bartz and Squall know each other? Or Terra and Kain for that matter.

It happened for the first time when Tidus appeared and Cloud was with me and Black and White Mage - "Do I know you?" Tidus had asked. "I don't think so." Cloud had replied. - and that was that, I put it out of my mind.

And it happened a few times as new people came, but never with whom you'd call the Secondaries or even the Heroines (bar Terra and Lightning of course), no, it always happened with the 'Protagonist' of the respective realm.

However, those looks seemed to hone in on the biggest enigma in our group when I found him: Warrior of Light.

Dr. Mog has no of who he truly is. According to the books it is Warrior, Black Mage, White Mage, Thief, Monk and Red Mage who embarked on their journey to save their world from Chaos and his Four Fiends, and yet, those same ones simply do not react with First Realm - they do not recieve empowerment from it. Most of them seem more at ease in the Archives than anything else. And yet that realm recognizes Warrior as belonging to it.

"He's an enigma, kupo. I do like mysteries!" Dr. Mog had said much too happily for my tastes.

But it was as fleeting and passing as usual. The Warrior kept to himself and spent most of his time inside the room where his Home Realm dwelled, and I only ever saw him when I went into it. I had Cecil for most of my Knight needs too so I didn't call him all that often.

It wasn't until we found Zidane that the initial spark that came and went was fully lit.

They'd all gathered together, as if called by a Siren, and walked towards the door to the First Realm; Firion, both Cecil's and Kain, Bartz, Terra, Cloud and Tifa, Squall, Zidane, Tidus and Yuna, Vaan and Lightning.

And the stoic Warrior of Light met them in the middle, as if he knew they were coming.

"Hey! It IS you!" The Genome had exclaimed and I was as shocked as any of them when Zidane simply hugged the man, and even moreso when the man hugged back.

"My friends, it is good to see you all again." The Warrior replied with a small smile cracking his usual blank face.

And like a flame of recognition had gone off, they all smiled at the man - like long lost comrades.

"Am I seeing double, or did Cecil find another brother?" He'd asked and the shocking joke induced laughter that had them grouping tighter than before, even the ever stoics Squall and Lightning. They clapped the armored man's back and shoulders, greeting each other like war veterans, crowding the hallway and sitting down in front of the Hall of Doors, Warrior calling for quiet as they began to speak in some semblance of order.

"What is going on?" I asked myself as I watched them gather in the hallway, to simply sit and talk to each other.

"I am surprised it took them this long to remember..."

"I'm not, they needed their catalyst after all..."

I jumped. That was Golbez and Sephiroth behind me; despite knowing they meant no harm, nor were they a threat, they still made me a bit jumpy.

"What do you mean?" I asked them, looking back and forth between them.

"We are unsurprised you do not know, for the circumstances that have seemingly brought them together should not exist." That was Golbez, always enigmatic and silent despite the armor he wore.

"And like I said, I am not surprised. His being here simply proves that it indeed happened - and look at him, as before, all by himself with no comrades to speak of aside from the ones from other realms. Proof enough that She still has some form of power over them...and us too, I suppose." Sephiroth replied.

"The Warriors of Cosmos, brought together again by an unseen threat." Golbez added.

Sephiroth snorted. "It'll show up soon enough, it always does." He replied, turning back from where he'd come from with Golbez following soon after.

I turned back to the group of warriors: watched them laugh and talk like the oldest of friends, as if they had all stepped out of the same Realm and painting. I felt a little envy towards them, I'll admit - I didn't have anyone like that for myself. Dr. Mog was my mentor and Cid was, well, Cid.

But seeing them like this, just as knit tight as their respective groups and families, it told me a different story altogether.

So maybe my worries are a bit unfounded - these people have met before, have met again and will probably meet again with no ill effects...

I'll miss the heck out of them.

"Tyro! You're late for lessons!" And that was White Mage's voice. "Coming!" I yelled back. On second thought, maybe I do have some friends of my own.

The Warriors were all looking at me and I couldn't help but blush at their stares. "Er...um...yeah, later." I bowed and high-tailed it out of there, though I could hear their laughter and my name following me as I went.

"Hey, what do yo know of Warriors of Cosmos?" I asked Black and White Mage who walked by my sides.

"Wouldn't that just be Warriors of Light - Crystal chosen and whatnot?" Black Mage replied.

"Not necesarily, it sounds like a different classification..." White Mage added.

I sighed. There they go again. Should be careful for what I wish for.
