Chapter Two: Return of the Lunarians


(THE PAST: "The End of the World" on Earth has taken place. The Imperial General, Kefka, has gone mad and power hungry. Using his newly ill-gotten magical abilities, he has brought upon a new age upon Earth. The face of the planet has been scarred forever, with a large tower now erected on it. Arvis, once a citizen of the town of Narshe, was saved just before the "End of the World" took place by a race of men called "The Luniarains".)

Arvis woke up in a bed that was not his. He didn't know where he was, so he became frightened right away. A group of 3 people walked up to him.

"Are you the man they named Arvis?" asked one of the men.

"Yes."

"Follow me."

The group led him down a long silver passageway until they reached a large chamber in which a throne sat in the middle of and in the throne, another man sat.

"Hello Arvis. I am Nemby, leader of the Luniarains. We inhabit Earth's one and only moon."

"Yes. I have heard about the Luniarains though the history books. You was once ruled by a man named...."

"No. Do not say the name. Us Luniarins are ashamed of that past. We were once the protectors of Earth but when we were under the rule of evil we battled Earth." Nemby said. "We are striving to once again become the protectors of Earth."

"Then why don't you go down and stop this man named Kefka from taking over the Earth?!?" Arvis said.

"No. The Light Warriors will take care of that."

"The Light Warriors?"

"Every era on Earth there is a chosen bunch that becomes the protectors of Earth. They end up destroying the threat that is on Earth."

"I thought you said the Luniarains are the protectors of Earth?"

"Yes. We protect Earth from the threats of space. Not from the threats the Earth brings upon itself."

"Who is in this era's Light Warriors?" asked Arvis.

"A small group. They have already grouped. They are Terra, Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Relm, Strago, Gau, Mog, Cyan, Shadow, Celes, Setzer, Umaro, and Gogo." Nemby replied.

"Gogo? The robot?"

"Yes. The robot."

"And would that happen to be King Edgar and his brother, Sabin?"

"Yes."

"They are the Light Warriors? I met them. Then Terra is the one I saved from the Empiral Soldiers."

"Yes. We have been watching the Earth for a while. Kefka's greed has gone to far. The 'End of the World' is upon the Earth even as we speak."

"The 'End of the World'?"

"Go to the window and see for yourself."

Arvis walked over to the window and saw bolts of light extend from Earth, destroying almost everything.

"Kefka has just killed that evil General, General Geshtal. Greed made him do it. He owns too much magic and he started the 'End of the World' even as we speak."

"No...What about the Light Warriors?"

"They live. They all live. Like I said, they will kill Kefka."

"Ok. But why am I here? And not down there?" Arvis asked.

"You are very important to our future and Earth's future. If you would have stayed down on Earth, you would have died. You and Banon both would have died."

"Is Banon here, too?" Arvis asked.

"I am right here."

Arvis turned around to find Banon standing right behind him.

"Banon!"

"It is alright. It seems Nemby's story's are right. I did some research on the past Light Warriors and I found a story about this man named Cecil, who was thought to be a traitor at first but ended up becoming the King of the kingdom, Corneria."

"Cecil? Hmmm... I read about a group that defeated the Luniarains and was led by a man named Cecil."

"Yes, he is the one."
