Title: Star Ocean 3: Doujinshi's Cut - Star Ocean 3 (Director's Cut Version)
Authors: Genis Irving & Yoshimo
Rating: R
Disclaimer: First off, me and the other guy are claiming right now to have no ownership of Star Ocean 3. To be perfectly honest, my partner here is the only one who has a copy of the game. So despite the fact that I may be completely obsessed with making Roger my manservant, and that Yoshimo doesn't make any claims to the game anyway, neither of us owns any rights to Star Ocean 3. That's Square's job. We're just messing with the game a bit
Warnings: Oh my god, where to start? Umm... okay. There's Male/Female pairings (Fayt/Sophia, Fayt/Maria, Fayt/Nel, Fayt/Mirage, Fayt/Peppita, OC/Peppita, Cliff/Mirage, Lieber/Maria), Male/Male pairings (Fayt/Roger, Fayt/Cliff, Fayt/Albel, Fayt/OC, Fayt/OC... thankfully no Fayt/Adray - We're not that sick), and a few Female/Female pairings (Nel/Clair, maybe some Mirage/Maria... we're not sure yet...). In other words, we're dealing with M/M, M/F, and F/F here, as well as maybe some M/M/M, M/F/F... hell, just about any combination you can make with the letters 'M', 'F', and '+'. But since this is only an 'R' rated fic, we're not going to get exceptionally dirty. Yes, there will be some sex, but we're putting a blindfold on you for it .
Summary: It's time to explore a more twisted version of Star Ocean 3! Rated R - for Really high - due to an incredibly pervy Fayt. Has Fayt/Just about everything - so, M/M, M/F, F/F, and a couple of OCs...
Spoilers: Oh yes! Since this story will follow the plot of the original Star Ocean 3, we hope to eventually cover the whole damn game. Chances of us completing this are both extremely likely... and not necessarily so. However it works out, though, I'm sure you readers are gonna get a kick out of this one.
A/N:
This story was written by Chibi-Zell/Genis Irving (Various Yaoi Fire Emblem and Tales of Symphonia stories, like "Blazing Swords" and "A Night to Think On"), as well as by Yoshimo famous "Fire Emblem: The Parody"). It's got guy-on-guy, guy-on-girl, and girl-on-girl references in it - Shonen-ai, Shoujo-ai, and just normal-ai abound, in other words. But since this fic is not NC-17, there is no actual sex in it. There is, however, an incredibly pervy Fayt. See, we both figured that there is no way Fayt is really supposed to be like he is - he's 17 (Yoshimo: Nineteen) years old, and yet doesn't make a pass at anybody in the game. He's 17 (Yoshimo: I said nineteen!) years old! That's, like, one of the most sex-oriented times in a person's life! (Yoshimo: Seventeen or nineteen, you know its true) So, we figured we'd change every view of Star Ocean 3... and make sure people know the true story!
And yes, I must warn you that later in the story, two more Original Characters will be appearing. Trust me, though, when I say that I think you'll like them. - They're bound to add some real entertainment to the story (Yoshimo: We hope).
(Note: This chapter doesn't actually contain any real F/F or M/M, due to the fact that Fayt, Sophia, and Peppita are the only ones involved in this chapter, really. Once we meet everybody else, as well as the two Original Characters, though, that'll change...)

Chapter 1: Death of a Cheesy Resort Planet
"Fayt Leingod!"
Fayt was rather rudely interrupted from his momentary daydream by the contact of his head with a milkshake container.
"Wha...?" the boy snapped to his feet, his cute eyes looking around and finally spotting his attacker - a rather plainly dressed girl with big brown eyes that were bigger than his, complemented by short brown hair and a youthful figure. "Oh, Sophia," he mused, finally clueing in, then smiled. "Hi. What's up?"
"Don't you give me that casual 'What's up?'," Sophia pouted. "You've kept me waiting for the past hour, jerk!"
"What...?" Fayt blinked, trying to act innocent. "Yeah, I just got here, but so did you! I nearly fell asleep waiting for you."
"Igot tired of waiting for you and just decided to go for a milkshake, Fayt Leingod," Sophia continued her pouting, throwing in her boyfriend's last name to make a point. She was obviously attempting to make Fayt feel guilty, but it was hard to tell if it was working. "Do you know how rude it is to make somebody wait an hour just so you can play your little video games?"
"Oh, comeon, you don't know how fun they are!" Fayt complained, trying uselessly to get a bit of sympathy. "Besides, I made it really far..."
"I'm sure you did," Sophia growled, staring at Fayt right in the eye. "You think I don't know what you meant by 'made it really far'? I know the types of games you play! You take the role of some dashing hero, save your companion, the only other player in the room, and then she just gives up and becomes yours, and you... you..." she growled, trying to get the words out.
Fayt started at this accusation. "What do you take me for, some kind of pervert?"
"You think I haven't walked in on you playing those 'games' back home, Fayt?" Sophia growled, leaning right over and having such a wicked gleam in her eyes that Fayt found himself cowering against the bench he was on, "Absolutely disgusting, and..."
"Hey! I'll have you know I was playing a normal one, where you get to fight a lot! A battle simulator," he stood up and struck a heroic pose, pretending to swing a sword around. "You run around slaying dragons and villains and all kinds of evil doers! Besides, the only other person that was playing there was a guy."
"Oh, and that so makes you innocent, Fayt Leingod," Sophia glared harder.
A smug looked crossed Fayt's face. "Yes. Yes it does."
"I bet you that poor boy's never gonna look at the world the same way again," Sophia growled.
"The guy was ten years older than me!" Fayt said, and for a moment a dreamy look crossed his face.
"Oh, and like that's stopped you before,"
Fayt grinned at this. Sophia growled, and then just gave up and smacked Fayt one over the head - much harder - with her milkshake, causing it to explode all over the two of them. Sophia, apparently annoyed even more by this, stomped off to her room. "Damnit, now I've gotta go change! This is all your fault, Fayt Leingod!"
"Oooh, can I come watch?"
"NO!"
Hyda IV was, by nature, a particularly peaceful planet. Almost the entire place - with its picturesque beaches and pristine oceans - was a well-known tourist destination in peacetime. And since the Federation, the Vendeeni empire, the Aldian empire, and the Klausian empire were all currently at peace with one another, business was once again booming.
Here with his father and mother, the later of which Sophia insisted on calling 'aunt' Reiko (in name only - though Fayt didn't call her Cousin Sophia), Fayt had come here with his friend since childhood, Sophia Esteed. Since as far back as either could remember, they had been friends. Although it was innocent at first, Sophia soon came to admire Fayt - something that only grew over time. And the same was growing in reverse at the same time... until Fayt became a playboy.
At some point, around the age of 15 or 16, it seemed that something about Fayt - perhaps his beautiful short blue hair, or those childish blue eyes (that seemed thousands of times more innocent than they should be), or that excellent slim body... or maybe his sense of style - a nearly-tank-top white shirt and baggy leather shorts - began attracting a lot of attention. What it was that drew everybody - male and female - to Fayt Leingod, the boy never figured out. But he had figured out how to revel in it. Between then and now, the boy had pretty much lost all of the innocence and naïveity that had attracted Sophia to him, and he had been replaced by a flirtatious, openly bisexual sex addict. And yet, for some reason, Sophia still clung to him jealously, as though she was his only girlfriend - although out of all of Fayt's boyfriends and girlfriends, Fayt had made it the shortest distance with her, despite all attempts on his part to change that.
And now, Fayt Leingod was standing outside of room two-oh-something, half-asleep once again while waiting for Sophia to come outside from changing. She finally stomped out, dressed in what almost appeared to be her normal clothes (nobody could figure out why, but she adored her outfit - and thus had several copies of it). A blouse and a skirt - that was really all it was. She wasn't much of a stand-out girl, and never had been.
"Took you long enough," Fayt grinned.
"Well, you kept me waiting for an hour, I think you can wait another half an hour. And it would have only taken half that time if you didn't keep trying to sneak in, panty-chaser," she accused him, but that only made him grin wider. She gave a pout and started to walk off.
Fayt followed.
"Wh-what are you doing," Sophia asked, cautiously looking at the stalker... er... Fayt.
"I thought we were gonna go walk around the hotel some, maybe hit the beaches... then maybe, head back to my room, have a few cocktails, and..." Fayt began, losing himself in a bit of fantasy.
"Absolutely not, you pervert," Sophia growled. "After all the time you made me wait, you think I still want to go around with you?"
"I bet you I can say one thing to you that will change your mind," Fayt offered.
Sophia seemed amused by this. "Okay, what?"
"I'll take you shopping after, deal?"
Sophia's eyes lit up with stars. "D-Deal!" she said, and happily ran over to Fayt's side, wrapping the other's arm around her.
As was to be expected, the beaches of Hyda IV were pretty perfect. And not just because of the shining sand beneath Fayt and Sophia's feet, nor because of the fine waves that would have made any surfer's day. Rather...
"Look at all the hot..." Fayt began, but was nudged in the side by Sophia, rather hard, and he quickly changed his original statement, "suns! Did you know Hyda IV has two suns? Look," he pointed up.
Sophia did, and was momentarily blinded. She stumbled around a bit, until she hit a chair, and toppled backwards. "Oh, sorry,"
"It's no problem, dear," her aunt Reiko smiled at her. "Oh, and how are you? And how's Fayt?"
"I'm fine. And Fayt's being a pervert as usual," Sophia pouted a bit.
"Nonsense!" Reiko smiled. "See? He's being completely kind," she pointed, and Sophia turned.
A girl, about Fayt's age, had a blue bikini that was a size or five too tight for Sophia's comfort, and was leaning over to fetch a dropped handkerchief, when Fayt swooped down and picked it up, making the girl blush. "Just what is a girl like that doing with a handkerchief?" Sophia wondered.
"See what I mean? I don't see why you insist on making him out to be such a bad person," Reiko stated, turning away from Sophia. Sophia turned back to Fayt, and saw him leaning over the other girl, both hands on her ass, pulling her towards him, and she seemed to be giggling a bit.
"What? Auntie, can't you see Fayt and that girl are..." Sophia started, but was cut off.
"Now, now, Sophia, I don't see anything wrong," Reiko said, having turned back to Fayt. Sophia turned, and saw that Fayt was gently enjoying a conversation with the girl in a completely pristine manner.
This only made Sophia angrier. "But, but, he was just..."
As Reiko turned away again, saying that Sophia shouldn't bother her any more and just hang with Fayt and his new friend, Sophia watched in jealous anger as Fayt began to lead the girl off at his side, back towards the hotel, one hand on her ass, the other pulling her towards him by the waist, and Sophia practically charged over to them.
"Fayt, what are you doing?" Sophia began, but it seemed as if Fayt and the Flirt were just ignoring her completely. So she came closer, angry. "Hey! Stop flirting with him!" she complained.
The two stopped, and the tiny-bikini-sporting female looked at her. "It's a free planet, girl. If you wanted him, you should've never let him near me," she grinned.
"How can you do this to me, Fayt!" Sophia pouted, angrily.
"...Do you two know each other?" the Flirt asked Fayt, tilting her head.
Fayt laughed. "No, of course not. Now," he began to lead her away again, "Let's get back to those martinis in your room..."
"Fayt Leingod," Sophia shouted, stomping over angrily, and Fayt froze, slowly turning around. "You are a complete..."
(Okay, normally, we'd tell you what she said, because honestly, it'd be really really funny, and obviously was cut out of the game. But we'll let you work out the details here. Needless to say, though, Fayt was rather surprised with just how nasty Sophia got here.)
"Oh yeah?" Fayt pouted, thoroughly insulted and not about to take that lying down. "Well, you're a..."
"Please, leave me out of this lover's quarrel," the Flirt shook her head and pushed away from Fayt.
"Lover's quarrel?" Sophia started, insulted. "How can you think of us that way?"
"Yeah," Fayt twitched slightly, "I mean, I couldn't get 'Virgin Mary' here in bed if I tried. And I have the receipts from various liquor stores back home to prove that I tried."
"FAYT LEINGOD!"
What incredible negotiation skills Fayt used to convince Sophia not to leave him in a bloody heap following that event will never be known to man, but eventually she was back to following Fayt around, as they explored the inside of the hotel now, eventually entering a room that they discovered was rather occupied.
It appeared as if some kind of performing troupe was preparing in the room. Props of all sorts were around, and three people were in the room - one was obviously a clown of some sort, all dressed in green. Another was a very muscled man with a face that looked so babyish that Fayt was immediately put off by it, and the third was a small girl with dark skin and light hair, wearing a pink dress with long matching ribbons that attached to her hands.
"Oh, wow," the girl started, jumping over to them gracefully, "my first fans! Did you come for my autograph?"
"Auto...graph?" Fayt blinked, looking down at the girl, and considering a few things. "...Well, maybe not for your..." he started, but was cut off.
"Oh, of course you have! How great! Well," the girl, who looked to be about 12, 14 at the most, whipped out a marker, and danced around behind Fayt, and began to scribble on the back of his white shirt.
"Huh? Hey, what the...?" Fayt squirmed a bit.
"Funny, I though you liked having people draw stuff on you, Fayt," Sophia glared at him, but was very quiet.
"Okay, that was one girl," Fayt gave a bit of a glare back, just as quiet. "And I was naked then, and she happened to be very talented at giving massages with markers!"
"All done!" the girl hopped back a bit. She seemed to have missed Sophia and Fayt's conversation - perhaps best for a girl her age. "There! Someday, that autograph's gonna be worth a fortune! You're next," the pert youth skipped towards Sophia.
"Err... actually, we didn't really want an autograph," Sophia started.
"Well, you can't want Gonella the Clown's autograph... or Ursus the Strongman's... and you don't want mine..." she paused, considering. "...Wait, you're not even after an autograph, are you?"
"Well... no, not really..." Sophia started, and was cut off again.
"Well, then, you must be burglars!" the young girl accused them. "Help! Help! Burgl..."
"We're not burglars!" Fayt quickly interrupted.
"Well, if you're not burglars, then what are you?"
"Well, we were just... you know... looking around the hotel, and..."
"Bursting into people's rooms uninvitedisnotcalled looking around," the girl huffed out, looking suspiciously at Fayt. "Bursting into people's rooms is for burglars. And thieves. And murderers. And party crashers. And perverts. And lost children."
"Umm... yeah, we're, ah... lost children. You'll believe that, won't you?" Fayt giggled, slightly nervous.
"Says the man who looked in on me while I was changing," Sophia growled.
"That one was an accident, I told you!" Fayt said quickly.
"Five times!"
"Okay, so only most of those were accidents, but still!" Fayt tried to go defensive, but was cut off by Peppita.
"Ahem! I'm here! Subject return to me, please," she demanded.
"..." Fayt paused, then tried to think of a subject. "So what's this about this autograph going to be worth a lot?"
"Well, someday, yeah! When I make it really big, you can buy anything you want with that shirt! You could buy yourself a planet with how much money that thing will make someday, being the first autograph I ever signed!" the perky girl grinned.
Fayt's eyes hazed up, and he began to drool, imagining what else he could do with enough money to buy a planet...
"Pervert!" Sophia punched him in the side, then slammed him one on the top of the head, knocking him flat onto the floor.
"Oh yes. Peppita Rosetti, Fairy Guide of the Rosetti Troupe, at your service," the girl did a twirl and bow. Fayt, from his vantage point from the floor, got a very good view of the girl, had his mind return to the gutter, and stood back up.
"At my service, huh?" Fayt grinned, a lecherous grin that would make some of the greatest perverts known in the galaxy quite proud of the boy.
"What?" Peppita blinked, the whole comment going right over her head. She ignored it when Sophia turned and landed a kick to Fayt's stomach. Finally, Sophia turned back, and sighed. "Anyway, ah," Peppita continued, "tonight's going to be my big debut! And once people see me perform on stage, I'll become an instant star! Here," she handed Sophia and Fayt two tickets, "Why don't you have these? Come see the show tonight, you two lovebirds, and tell me what you think when you're done!"
"L-Lovebirds?" Sophia flushed, seemingly a bit angry, but then calmed herself down. She grabbed the by-now-nearly-unconscious Fayt and dragged him off, smiling. "Thanks, Peppita. Bye!"
"Bye!" Peppita waved, as they left, the door shutting automatically behind them. She retained her happy grin for a few moments, then turned back to the other members of the troupe, who had paused to watch her. "What are you all standing around for? Get back to work! Tonight's going to be my big day - and the only thing that's going to stop that will be if this planet gets blown to bits! And I'm not even sure I'll let that stop it!" she shouted. "Get a move on!"
Eventually, though, Fayt and Sophia had explored most of the hotel, and were at a complete loss for what to do, when Fayt happened to stop by the entrance to one of the virtual reality gaming rooms. "Hey, Sophia..." he motioned to the room.
"What? Hell no!" Sophia shouted, affronted. "I know what you're trying to do! You'll take me in there, get the computers to seal off the room, and then you'll..."
"I wouldn't do that to you, would I?" Fayt put on an innocent, charming, heroic look, the kind that swept Sophia momentarily off of her feet and made her calm down in an instant. "Besides, this isn't a dirty gaming room, that kind of thing is forbidden in this one. It's just a combat simulator."
"Well, umm..." Sophia flustered a bit. "Aren't these things dangerous? Haven't people died..."
"Don't worry about it," Fayt smiled softly. "I'll keep it to low danger for us - and I'll protect you. I promise."
Sophia's face only became more red at this. "Well... well... I guess..." she muttered, and without another word, Fayt pulled them into the room.
The chamber was fairly unremarkable, and Fayt slowly led Sophia through the process of building a character for her, one that would suit her tastes. Eventually, she finished designing one - a witch, using the power of Symbology to attack, instead of going toe-to-toe.
Sophia held onto Fayt tightly, as he started up the simulator. Unfortunately, before it was able to begin, a large explosion rocked the room, sending them sprawling.
"Gah! Fayt, get off of me! And get your hand out of there, you pervert!"
Smack!
"Oww..." Fayt whined, and reluctantly rolled off of Sophia, muttering to himself.
"Hmph, see if I ever trust you again," Sophia grumbled, then reverted herself to the task at hand as another explosion - although more minor, rocked the building.
"Attention all guests," an announcement flooded into the room. "Hyda IV is currently under attack by Vendeen battleships. All guests are to proceed immediately to the nearest transporter. All transporters have been redirected to send guests to the nearest security shelter. Please do not return to your rooms for possessions, I repeat, please..."
"Fayt," Sophia whined, "we've gotta get out of here!"
"But what about Dad?" Fayt asked.
"Please, Fayt, we've got to get out of here!" Sophia whimpered.
"You're right," Fayt nodded. "I've got too many fantasies left to fulfill!" he lifted up Sophia, and began to march off. "Let's go, Sophia!"
Sophia cuddled up against Fayt, surprised at herself, but awed more at Fayt for being so heroic - despite the dirty comment he had made a few moments ago. "Fayt, you're so..."
"You owe me sex for this," Fayt said, as he continued running. Sophia squirmed out of his grasp and whacked him one on the head.
"Pig!" she growled, stomping off towards the teleporter. "I'll walk then!"
"What? Does this mean no sex?" Fayt whined, chasing after once he regained his composure.
Fayt and Sophia barely had a couple of moments to rest once they had reached the shelter before an attendant hurried them along a metallic passageway. "Please, it is much worse than we originally thought," the attendant told them. "You must hurry on immediately. A teleporter inside will send you to the Helre, which is currently orbiting the planet. There, you will be transported to Federation Station #9 for your safety."
But as Sophia and Fayt were leaving, a few shouts echoed from the attendant behind, and Fayt and Sophia turned in horror, to see what appeared to be large mechanical spiders clanking towards them.
"Fayt! I'm scared!" Sophia whined, and Fayt grabbed her arm, pulling her along - and then stopping, when he spotted a small group headed towards them - Peppita, and her clown and strongman friend, as well as...
"Dad! Mom!" Fayt shouted, happily.
"Get out of the way, Fayt!" Fayt's father, Robert shouted, as the strongman Ursus hurtled past him, tackling one of the large spiders.
Sophia kept clinging onto Fayt, however, and pointed behind his father. "Fayt, look!"
There they were - more of the strange spiders, hurtling towards them from the other direction.
Ursus pulled back, and handed both Fayt and Sophia one of the mechanical spider's legs. "Hope you guys can use your legs," Gonella the clown joked behind them, preparing to fight alongside Peppita.
"Oh, you have no idea how well I can use my legs!" Fayt grinned, cracking a flirt that apparently went right over Reiko's and Robert (Fayt's father)'s head. Sophia glared at him, and Fayt just smiled innocently, waving the mechanical spider leg.
Fighting was a strange thing for Fayt. He had never used a weapon in reality, it had always been in his 'Role-playing' games... or in the battle simulators, like the one he almost got to fight alongside Sophia with. But he found himself very able to fight, with his fit body, and even Sophia was managing to bash one or two aside with her own leg. But they weren't getting anywhere, and were occupied enough not to notice at first when Robert and Reiko shouted for help.
Fayt turned, watching as the spiders carried them away, back towards the first transporter, right past Fayt. "Hey, you pests! Let me through!" he shouted, trying to bash away the spiders, but they just seemed to be replacing themselves more than fast enough to be pushing Fayt back. Sophia was having even worse luck.
"Auntie Reiko!" she called over.
"Sophia!" Reiko shouted, hopelessly.
"Dad!"
"Fayt! Don't let the Vendeen capture you, no matter what! Run, run!" Robert shouted, and Fayt growled, shouting back to his father in defiance that he wouldn't leave him behind.
"Yes you will," Ursus growled, as he picked up the much smaller Sophia and Fayt, and put them under his shoulders. Gonella was sitting on one shoulder, and Peppita was on the other. "We're gonna break for the ship. Comeon!" he charged forward, despite Sophia and Fayt's protests about their parents, and charged for the opposite teleporter, clearing a straight line through the metal attackers.
There was a flash of bright light, and then, they were no longer on Hyda IV.
Rather, Fayt was standing beside Sophia, arms wrapped around her, as they watched from their vantage point in outer space as Hyda IV was covered in explosions in front of their eyes.
Sophia broke down in tears. "Oh... oh, oh no oh no..." she kept whining to herself, " oh no, no, no, no, no! Fayt, get your hands off of my breasts!" she pouted, and pulled away from Fayt. "We just lost our parents, and were on a planet about to be destroyed, and all you can do is grope me?"
"Well, I'm trying to stay happy," Fayt tried to smile, but failed.
"...Fayt... you're impossible," Sophia pouted.
