A/N: Welcome to the Trial. I was serious when I said I would update this as quickly as possible. Lol anyway, onto the chapter.

Chapter 27: Prompto's Story

(Prompto POV)

"You don't have to tell if you don't want to," Ardyn said, walking over to Prompto.

"No, I need to tell you what happened. I'm not afraid of the past," Prompto said. Prompto felt a tiny bit of pain in his left leg. That tended to happen off and on. He sighed and began the story.

(Prompto Memory Story, Thing)

Prompto fought back shock as he found out that it had been Gladio who had killed Noctis. That wasn't right, Gladio would never hurt Noctis. If he did, he would have had a reason to do it, Prompto thought. A sudden boom caught his attention. Prompto jumped up and raced outside. To his shock, Magitec troops were running around everywhere.

Prompto angrily gritted his teeth and grabbed his gun. A sudden hand stopped him. Prompto turned to who had stopped him. To his shock, when he turned around he saw a Magitec troop smiling at him. Prompto backed away and punched the Magitec, trying to get his gun back.

"Nice try, Prompto. But that isn't going to work. You need to try harder than that," the troop said.

Prompto gritted his teeth and began a series of punches and kicks. The Magitec didn't even flinch, he just laughed and gut punched Prompto. He gasped and clutched his stomach. The Magitec was still protecting the gun. Prompto gritted his teeth and reached for the gun. He grabbed it and shot the Magitec troop. He gasped and collapsed.

Prompto smirked and ran outside. He was shocked at what he saw. Magitec troops ran everywhere. Prompto frowned and attacked the troops. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his left cheek. He turned around and saw a Magitec troop with a knife glaring at him. Prompto held his cheek and shot the Magitec.

He looked up and saw a Magitec engine. The Magitec were going full on invasion. Why did they choose today? Wait, of course, we are grieving the loss of our king. Therefore, leaving them vulnerable to Magitec attack. But how did they know that we lost our king? Prompto thought. He looked around for Cindy. She had moved into Lucis five weeks before Noctis' death.

He then heard a scream and a plea for help down a corridor. It sounded awfully like his wife, Linda and his daughter London. Prompto closed his eyes and gave a silent plea that it was not them. But when he turned the corner, he saw Linda hugging London close, while being cornered by a Magitec troop. London looked petrified.

"London! Linda! Don't worry, I'll save you!" Prompto shouted, racing forward. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head and he then fell unconscious.

"And then I woke up here. Next thing I knew two guys walked in with knives. They told me that if I didn't answer all of their questions, they would cut me up slowly. Do you want to know what my dumb self said?" Prompto asked.

(Prompto's Memory)

"Okay, Prompto, we'll give you a choice. You can either answer all of our questions, or we can just cut you up into many little pieces. Either way, victory for the Masked Emperor," the troop said. Suddenly, Prompto surged forward and punched the troop. "Shit."

"Hmph, I'm not as easy to kill as I look," Prompto said, smirking. Suddenly, troops held Prompto down. Prompto struggled but he couldn't break free. "Okay, maybe not as hard as I thought. At least not with this amount of people holding me down."

"You're not so tough now, are you?" the troop said, wiping blood from a destroyed lip.

He then used his knife to cut deep into Prompto's knee. He felt a sharp pain, then, all Prompto saw was darkness.

"And then when I woke up, you guys were here," Prompto said. That was when he noticed General Moonsinger on the ground with Dorian and Ardyn. The man was unconscious, surrounded by a huge pool of blood. "What happened to him?"

Dorian looked down at General Moonsinger and said, "He tried to attack the Masked Emperor."

"My friends, Moonsinger...is the Emperor's son," Prompto said.

Dorian and Ardyn both looked at each other, then at Moonsinger.

A/N: Dun dun dun dun! Moonsinger is the Emperor's son?! How can this be?! Well, you'll have to find out at the next chapter. Remember to review. See you, byyyye!
