I don't own any of the ff9 characters, I only made up the Hans guy.
I am Hans, Pluto Knight XXVIII, and this is my story.
Authors Note: This is a story told from the Point of View of a Pluto Knight. This story will mainly take place around 2 years after the battle in the Zero World. Except for chapters 1 & 2 that take place just around the time Alexandria is destroyed.
Chapter 1: Terror in the Night

"What do you mean Hans?" she asked looking away from the stars at last. "What are you talking about?"
"I-I love you and-
I was silenced, silenced when I saw something, a vision that haunts me to this day.
"Hans what are you looking at?"
I froze, as the immense form, of what I now know as Bahamut, swooped down around us. Incinerating everything in his path. I heard her cry out to me, but that was all, I never saw her again. I am still amazed that I was able to survive, but I still wish the two of us could have traded fates.
