Final Fantasy Tactics:

Bitter Blood

By King Salad

Prologue

Rating: PG-13

Reason: Mild Bad Language, Violent Content
Summary: Five Years after FFT. Ramza and Alma are living on a farm, in the farthest corner of Ivalice, they're happy and have many new friends, but when a Odd Cult kidnaps the newborn princess and injures Delita, he sends for his old friend once more… *SPOILERS*

Author's Notes: My first FFT story, yes I know FFT is old, but who gives a crap? Not my first FF story, I wrote others but never posted them on Fanfiction.net. *Shrugs* Anyway, just a few notes, below is a list of characters, some real, some made up, I own the made up ones, but Square owns the rest and everything else. Also, just for the record when I play, I like making Ramza a Lancer, just because Lancer's kick ass, but for this story he will be a Knight since he's "Supposed" to be one. -Lol- Oh and its rated PG-13, but a couple chapters may be R, instead of changing my rating I'll just post a warning. Also, just because I can, some more "Guest Stars" have shown up from other FF games. Who? You'll see. Thanks all, by the way, I used to go by the name Golden when I wrote my anime stories before, if you know me. ^_-. Adios. A

Tome of Knowledge

(Ages calculated if Ramza has one birthday during the "Lion War". If on your game it took more than one, then just adjust it accordingly if you wish. And no, I did not beat the game in one year GT, I actually couldn't wait to write this fanfic so I cheated my way through so I could learn about the characters and storyline. Anyway, I'm currently working on the legit file… harder. Lol. Cloud's and Aeris' ages based two years after FF7, plus the five years since FFT.)

Groups

The Hokuten and Black Sheep have been in a constant battle with them. Thanatodin, the head of "Lucavi's Hand", sent several Black Mages from "Hand" to help them.

Author's Notes (2): Well, this concludes the Info, Chapter one, which should be up right now, is a bit dull, it just recaps what everyone has been doing for the past five years, and a look into their lives. But coming real soon is chapter two, which will start the process in moving. Enjoy. ^.^

A Note about Love

Hmm. Well, from the start the only two couples I am sure of, is Beowulf/Reis and Cloud/Aeris, just because lets face it, these are real couples. (And of course Delita/Ovelia). I'm still not sure what the others will be, but *POSSIBLY* Meliadoul/Mustadio and Ramza/Agrias. This is not for certain. I do not know yet. It very well may change.

A Note on Cameos

Cloud and Aeris are the only cameos in FFT, but in this story they return, as well as many others. Below is a list of the games they came from. But be warned that the following chart *could* be counted as a spoiler. It doesn't say who the cameos are, as that is a total spoiler, but will tell you what game.

FF1 - One Cameo

FF7 - Five Cameos (Seven if you include Aeris and Cloud)

FF9 - Three Cameos
