Logan(Me): I finally can use my magic! This is so awesome!

Jouji: Dude, calm down.

Me: I can't I am just too excited! That and I had a lot of soda this morning!

Noxlag: *comes in with a little bowl in one hand and a glass of water in the other* And you forgot to take your medicine.*he hands them to me then plops on the couch*

Me: Oh, thanks. *I take them and gag due to the taste the pills cause the water to have*

Jouji: *Sweatdrop*

Noxlag: We still have to deal with 15 minutes of this before they kick in. *Sweatdrop*

Me: *Big creepy smile*

Lake Bresha

I wake up and feel like i am laying on something very smooth but very solid. As soon as I get up I am knocked back over by snow when he bolts upright. "Serah. Is this for real?"

"Snow! I am not Serah. She is a crystal remember." I tell him.

"No, I was talking about this," He points around.

Sazh has gotten up by this point, and says quizzically, "This must be… Lake Bresha?" he looks up, "We must have fallen from up there," He then scratches his head, "And the lake turned to Crystal?" He then throws his arms up, "Help me out here! Did the fal'Cie do this? How in the world did we end up here?"

"How should I know?" Questions Lightning who had gotten up just after Sazh.

Vanille get's up and then says confused, "We're alive! How?"

Snow then exclaims, "Serah! No one survives a fall from that high! Not without a miracle. Serah Saved us!"

Lightning yells at him "Serah? Listen… it's all your fault… she…"

As this is happening I see a Cie'th about to strike her from behind. I charge up and try to block it with my gunsword. The blade of my gunsword then catches fire and the Cie'th starts to burn. I then cut it down.

"How did I do that?" I ask.

Hope answers me by saying, "You used magic. You used the power of a l'Cie. The fal'Cie cursed us. We're l'Cie now."

Lightning then faces the rest of the Cie'th that the one I took out was with, "Right."

We take out the Cie'th with our new powers. Lightning seems to just be a more powerful version of her old self until she uses a non-elemental spell, Vanille heals us when we get hurt, Sazh was using elemental magic. I was using magic that improved the power of our fire spells and decreased the Cie'th's power with fire, I also added the fire element to Lightning's and my weapons. We easily beat the Cie'th.

After the battle, Snow remarks "So we really are l'Cie," He is looking at the mark on his arm

Sazh replies, pointing to where the mark is on his chest "Looks like it."

Snow looks to Vanille and asks, "You too?"

"Yep. Right here," she says lifting her skirt to show her mark… 'Wait is it seriously there' I think creeped out by the pervy fal'Cie.

"Okay," Says Snow, he seems about as creeped out as I am.

"Mine is here," lightning says pointing to her upper chest. 'Seriously! That fal'Cie is very perverted.'

"I can't seem to find mi…" I start saying.

"It is on your right ankle, Logan," Hope says.

"Thanks hope," i say to him.

"L'Cie to the last," Lightning says looking at hope.

"Why me?" Hope hides behind me and says to the others, "I don't even know you! But you have to and attack that thing?" Then he asks me, "Why did you go along with it?"

"To avenge your mom,' I tell him while coincidentally Snow was out of earshot.

Snow then tries to come over and comfort him and Hope goes back to hiding behind me and says "Just leave me alone! It's your fault, It's your fault my… You could've… All of this is yours and Serah's fault!"

Vanille comes over and tries to comfort hope, "Everythings going to be alright. You'll see. Come on off we go," She pulls hope up and all six of us start advancing.

After a while Lightning has us stop and says, "Okay, if we don't know our Focus, how do we complete it.

Vanille says, "I think… I saw it."

Lighting asks, "Saw what?

"That's how a Focus comes down, people. The fal'Cie? They don't spell it out with clear-cut instructions. All you get is a hazy glimpse. Well, that's what they say. You know, legends and all," Sazh answers.

Lightning then asks hope, "Did you see anything?"

I uh-I just... It's all kind of foggy, but... I saw this big- I mean towering…" Hope says in answer.

Sazh interrupts and asks, "W-wait a minute. Hold on now. Did we all have the same dream?"

Lightning, Snow, and I say at the same time, "Ragnarok."

Sazh then answers his own question saying, "So, we all saw the same dream. We all heard that same voice."

Hope asks frantically, "You mean that was our Focus? But how are we supposed to know what to do from that?"

"That's the tricky part. The dream's the only hint the fal'Cie gives us. Figuring out what to do with it... that's our job!" Vanille says

I then ask Snow, "How do Vanille and Sazh know so much about this stuff,"

"No idea," Snow replies.

"Okay, okay... We're Pulse l'Cie, right? Enemies of Cocoon! So, does that mean that our Focus is-? Are we supposed to..." Sazh starts to say.

Snow interrupts him and says emphatically "Save her. Our Focus is to protect Cocoon."

"Really? Okay, and why's that?" Vanille asks him.

"Serah told us. Let's do it. We're all in this together. I'm gonna look for Serah. She ought to be nearby," Snow tells her. He starts to head off, followed by Lightning.

Vanille then jumps up and starts to follow him saying, "I'll come too!"

Sazh start to follow saying, "That boy just can't stay still!"

Hope replies saying, "Really…" Both Hope and I join the others.

While we are walking, Snow says, "We fight it! Ragnarok! That's the reason we're l'Cie! To stop it... to keep Cocoon safe!

"Yeah, why don't you give us one reason to believe that? One reason," Sazh says challenging Snow's Theory

"Serah. She said to protect Cocoon and then she turned to crystal. That's the proof right there. She completed her Focus! That means ours is to save Cocoon. Serah's fal'Cie was the same as ours. Our Focus has got to be the same. We were chosen to be guardians, to defeat Ragnarok! It makes sense!" Snow explains.

"The hell it does! You're grasping at straws, son! Pulse fal'Cie are Cocoon's enemies. We just got recruited by one of them. If I were a betting man... I'd put us on the other side." Sazh says to Snow.

Snow yells at Sazh, "Then Serah's an enemy, too? Well I don't buy it! We have the power to save Cocoon. If we work together and carry out our Focus -"

Lightning pulls out her gunsword and puts it to Snows neck, then yells at him, "Our Focus? The fal'Cie took Serah from us, and you want to help it? Whose side are you on?"

We are immediately surrounded by a small group of soldiers. one of them who must be the commanding officer says. "Freeze! Place your hands behind your heads!" We all do as he says. "You fall of the Purge train?"

Lightning replies, "Maybe."

The captain says, "Are you talking back to me?"

She remarks, "Nice gun." She then takes it from him and takes out the entire squad.

"I thought they'd be tougher than that. These guys are PSICOM, yeah? Supposed to be the cream-of-the crop." Sazh says, confused.

"Yeah, but PSICOM's an anti-Pulse task force. Haven't fought a way in centuries. Bunch of rookie troops swinging around overpriced toys." Snow explains to him.

"So, from what you're telling me, it sounds like a regular old soldier... has got more training than special forces. " Sazh confirms.

Snow pounds his fists together then says, "Nothing for us l'Cie to be afraid of."

Lightning yells at them, "Cut the crap. Their grunts might be green, but PSICOM's elites are cold-blooded beasts. They hit the field and it's game over."

Vanille then runs in front and faces us while pointing behind her, "Oh-oh! Then let's run away! Ciao!" She then runs ahead.

Sazh tries to get her to stick with us saying, "Hey, wait!" he then gives up and just follows her saying, "What's a man to do?"

After a bit longer, and a few more battles with PSICOM, Sazh is talking to Snow about Hope and Vanille, "It's not right. Why'd kids have to get dragged into this?"

Snow replies, "I'll keep the kids out of trouble."

I then say, "I will too."

Sazh then shakes his head, "Problem with that is, you're two of them. Trying to take on the Pulse fal'Cie, that was our first mistake. Should have left it to the Sanctum. Why not? I mean, we've counted on the Sanctum's fal'Cie for food, water... everything we've needed since the time we were born."

Snow replies to that saying, "But you still helped us do it. Why's that? Gotta be something."

Sazh then says, "There might've been. Not so sure anymore."

We then are on a 'cliff' overlooking a 'clearing.' Snow notices something and starts running towards the clearing, slides down the crystallized wave, and stops next to…

"Serah." Lightning says when she notices what snow is running towards, and she runs to Serah followed by the rest of us.

Snow has picked up a piece of debris from the vestige and is trying to dig Serah out, "Serah! Serah! I'll get you out of there!"

Vanille runs up and grabs a smaller piece of debris and starts digging as well, "I'll help you!"

Sazh Joins in the digging without saying anything

I join them in digging, "I'll help as well,"

Snow then says to the three of us, "Thanks!"

Lightning starts to walk off saying, "This is goodbye."

Snow stops digging and confronts her saying, "Lightning? You're just gonna leave her?"

Lightning then questions him, "PSICOM will be here soon. If they find us, we're all dead. You think Serah would want that? You think you know how she feels?"

Snow as stubborn as always says, "If I leave her, then I'll never know. We'll be fine. I can handle anything they throw at us. No one will die. I'll protect Serah. And Cocoon!"

Lightning punches Snow, and Vanille, Sazh, and I stop mid-dig. Lighting yells at Snow while pointing to Serah saying, "Does she look protected to you?"

Snow then exclaims to her, "I can save her!"

Lightning punches Snow even harder this time saying, "What can you possibly do?"

Snow replies, "Whatever it takes!"

Sazh shakes his head saying, "You two are hopeless. You just can't admit it. You want to stay as much as he does," the four of us get back to digging and lightning joins us.

After a bit Sazh, Lightning, Vanille, and I get up followed by snow asking, "You're leaving?"

Sazh then tells him, "We want to help Serah too. But without tools we could be digging for days. The army's on our trail. For now, we've got to keep moving. For now."

Snow asks us, "So I just abandon her, and save myself?"

Lightning then uses what snow was saying earlier against him, "What about your Focus? What happened to banding together and saving the world? Isn't that what you promised? Now you want to forget it all and die right here? Snow? You're nothing but talk."

Snow just bounces back saying, "Lightning! I'll do whatever it takes. I'll finish this Focus and keep Serah safe. That's my promise."

Lightning says "Great, job so far," and then she starts walking off.

Snow says to the five of us, "Stay out of trouble."

Sazh replies, "You too."

I then tell Hope and Vanille, "Come on you two. We need to move."

Vanille says, "Ok," but hope hangs back a bit and says, "Snow…"

Snow cuts him off saying, "Save it for next time, kiddo. You'll get left behind."

Hope still is determined and starts, "But…"

Snow, thinking Hope is worried about him, says,"It's okay, Hope. Light will take care of you. We'll meet again."

Hope glare at him saying, "Yeah. Count on it."

I then tell him, "Don't worry about those two I will take care of them."

"Thank you," Snow says then goes back to digging, while Hope and I rejoin the others.

While walking away I start to collapse. The last thing I hear is Hope saying, "Logan, are you…"

Logan's Heart Stand

I seem to be falling. I have no idea where I am. It seems to be pure darkness around me. After a little bit I notice a light below me. It looks like it could be some sort of platform. I see a what looks like a clock but instead of numbers, there are the first twelve stages pulse brands. In the center of the platform i see a gunsword and what looks like a flaming key flanking a large pulse brand on it's final stage.

As I get closer I notice the brand at the two o'clock position is lit up, I take a look at my brand and notice it is on the second stage. I then land and then hear a voice saying, "Do not be afraid. You are safe here. You have started to try and save this world but there are many others that need your help as well."

I pull out my sword and shout, "Who are you. Show yourself."

The voice replies, "I am not going to hurt but you are not able to see me. If you continue to try to save just this world then many others will fall. You have the key to save other worlds. Your friends will fall if you stay on this path."

I shout to the voice, "What do you mean, how could me helping them cause them to fall?"

The voice continues ignoring my question, "You are the key to saving the light," The platform seems to have started to be engulfed by darkness, "Use the key and save your heart."

As I am about to ask the voice what key it is talking about I notice an increase in weight in my left hand. I see a flaming weapon that looks like a key. I flip it so that it is backhand and I start to strike the creatures that appear. As soon as I destroy one the others seem to disappear.

The voice then says, "The Keyblade," Then the platform shatters.

Lake Bresha

I stand up and see more of the creatures from before. I destroy them with ease. I then feel something on my leg. I take a look and notice my brand has turned white. I try to look around and I see Snow still chipping away at Serah's crystal but do not see any of the others.

As I am about to call out to Snow I notice something flying right towards me. I get out of the way just in time and I see that it was a person riding on what looks like an intricately designed airboard. The person seems to punch itself in the arm and the armor it is wearing disappears.

The rider is a woman with blue hair. Her glider is actually a weapon that looks like my keyblade. She says "Hello, my name is Aqua. What is yours." She hold out her hand.

"L-Logan," I stutter out. We shake hands.

"Sorry about almost crashing into you. I am usually better at this," she says, "Have you seen a man with silver hair. He is a couple inches taller than me and has a bit of an ego."

I point at snow with my gunsword. I then realize I still have my keyblade out.

She says, "No. I said silver hair," she then notices me trying to figure out where I sheathe the keyblade, "You just dismiss it like this," she summons then dismisses her keyblade. I then dismiss mine. She then says, "Yes. Like that. You need training to bring out the full power of your keyblade. After I finish with what I need to do I could teach you."

I take a step back realizing she could be PSICOM. I pull out my gunsword and summon my keyblade, "How do I know I can trust you? I bet PSICOM is paying you a lot to take out l'Cie," I say to her ready to defend myself.

"Whoa, Logan I don't mean any harm to you. I just want to help you," she says stepping back, but she summons her keyblade, "I don't even know what a l'Cie is," she says.

I dismiss my keyblade and And decide to follow her but I will still be careful, "Why should I trust that as soon as I join you, you won't turn me over to PSICOM?" I ask her.

She just asks, "Who?"

"Don't play dumb I know you know exactly who PSICOM is. There is nobody who doesn't," I walk away and continue forward. She does not seem to follow so i decide to rest when I get a good distance between us knowing that there is no way to get out of Lake Bresha except for on a PSICOM airship.

Speaking of PSICOM airships I see one headed to… "Snow!" I get up but then Aqua seems to hold me back.

"That is PSICOM, isn't it?" she says and I nod, "There is we could help your friend without you getting captured as well."

I shake myself loose of her grip, "I have to help him!" I tell her as I start to run off, but she grabs me again.

"I cannot allow you to be in danger," She says while holding my left ankle.

"Let me go!" I yell at her and my ankle starts to glow.

She doesn't let go even with the glow under her hand but she asks with a little fear in her voice, "What is going on with your foot?" she asks then she get blasted back as a crystal comes out of my foot and then becomes a warrior in armor the color of fire, wielding a Greatsword. He start to charge at aqua but I block the attack and yell, "Run!" but instead of running she comes to my aid after summoning her keyblade she shouts, "No, I won't leave you behind."

After a bit I realize that this thing is targeting aqua because of how i was angry at her so i try powering up aqua with my fire based spells. It seems to be giving me more respect the more i power her up. After a bit it turns into a wolf and i hear a voice in my head saying 'Fenrir' and i get on it.

We are both out of breathe, but now I can call on Fenrir anytime I need him. "Well we are too late to save Snow. Crap!" I say after Fenrir returns to me, "So who is it you are looking for again?"

Aqua then says, "Terra," she then gets out a pauldron and hands it to me, "Put this on,"

I put it on my shoulder, "Thanks, but I don't think this will provide much protection," I tell her.

She laughs, "You have to hit it,"

"Oh," I say and hit the pauldron. I get covered in a red armor with an orange accent. She then throws her keyblade into the air and it becomes the airglider from before. I do the same with mine and my glider looks like a flaming pulse brand, "Nice," I say as we take off.

The Lanes Between

"You doing good back there?" Aqua shouts to me.

I reply saying, "This is amazing! I have never done anything like this before!" I do some spins and then start gliding next to her.

She laughs, "Remember, stay close. The Lanes between can be treacherous. I am surprised we haven't come across any unversed," she keeps her hands on her bow.

I ask her, "What are unversed?"

"It is those creatures you were fighting just before I crashed."

"What is that up ahead?" I ask pointing to the castle up ahead.

"Our destination, Radiant Garden." We land.

Radiant Garden

After we land I notice that we are in an old-looking town, "This place doesn't look radiant or like a garden. It looks more like a hollow bastion." (Yes I am making it that the name came from him.)

"That is because Terra is here. He has been possessed by a great darkness," She tells me.

"Is that him over there?" I ask her, pointing at a tall man with silver hair.

"Yes, that is him. Stay here I will handle it."

"Do you want me to send in Fenrir?"

"No. I don't want anyone else hurt by him."

"Terra?" Aqua asks the man.

"Who... am I?" The man asks her after grabbing her and lifting her up while a dark aura surrounds him.

She then says, "Such a terrible... darkness... fight it. Terra, please!

He then says "Terra... you say?" The aura disappears and he let's her go, grabbing his head, "Terra's heart has been extinguished—smothered by the darkness inside him." He then summons his keyblade and strikes at Aqua but she dodges it.

"My name is master aqua," She summons her keyblade, "Now return my friends heart or pay the price!"

She and Terra start to fight.

After a while a bright aura surrounds Terra and he says "Stop fighting back!"

I notice what he is about to do, and I pull out my gunsword and summon my keyblade, while charging to block it. I call out Fenrir and go straight to gestalt mode.

"Terra, I know your in there!" Aqua shouts at him.

"This'll teach you. Get out of my heart!" He raises his keyblade to strike himself.

As I reach him I jump off of Fenrir and block him.

The dark aura surrounds him again and he strikes me and the last thing I hear is Aqua shout, "Logan!"

Noxlag: Ha-ha You got owned!

Me: Hey! If this hadn't happened then you wouldn't exist.

Noxlag: *Sweatdrop*

Jouji: You two, Stop fighting!

Noxlag: At least I appear next chapter.
